So I noticed that all my Covenant stories' titles, all begin with an A. haha
Just wanted to point that out for some reason; I found it interesting.
Well, I didn't really like this chapter all that much, the next one is my favorite though.
Her Arrival
It was finally Saturday and Blake was ecstatic to see her older brother, Pogue, and his troublesome friends that she had missed so much. Even with the long flight, she didn't rest, but she couldn't hold it in any longer, she had to see them. She missed Reid's cockiness, Tyler innocence, and Caleb's… lovingness. She will admit it; she seemed to miss Caleb more than Pogue, her own brother. But there was something about Caleb she liked more. She missed his one million dollar smile, his dark, mysterious but lively eyes, and just everything about him in general. She couldn't wait till she went to see them.
Yes, Blake was already in Ipswich, and she was excited to see them, but it was only enough to not rest and wasn't enough to actually meet them. She wasn't at the Danvers manor yet, where she was to meet them. Instead of heading towards the mansion, she instead, took a turn to Spenser Academy.
She wasn't too fond about sharing a room, but it was whatever to her.
What's done is done.
If it was someone she wasn't going to like, she would request a room for herself.
Blake was currently going through her clothes and quickly going to hang them in her side of the closet. Her roommate was closing in on the room and would arrive any second. She saw it.
Blake was very… odd, especially when it came to receiving powers at thirteen. But if she had lived for that long already, she should receive something, right? And she did, she received powers. Not the same powers the guys got though, which was why Blake was very… odd, her eyes turned a white color, not black, she wasn't capable of flying into the air, or throwing amounts of energy at things.
Nope, she was unique and saw into the future.
And she was known as the Covenant's Seer. Sure, now as her powers progressed, she could also move simple objects also and make them appear, which she liked, but rarely did.
Blake wasn't so used to the 'knowing the inevitable' at first upon receiving them, but overtime Blake quickly got used to the idea that she knew how everything was going to turn out. However, it wasn't like she could see a day into the future. The farthest she saw was only three hours ahead. Now, she was able to go at least an hour, watching the events happen in a flash and having them actually being played out. She liked having her gift. It was great when they were younger; she knew everything the boys were up to if they decided to pull a prank on her. But, they did exclude her in some activities, saying she would cheat, but it was all fun and games to them, and they didn't mean everything they said to her when they were little. They loved her too much, and would always fight to have her to be on their team. But, of course, Pogue would constantly go out and say that since she was his baby sister, she had to be on his team.
The door opened when Blake was sitting on the ground looking through boxes of her things.
Blake looked up, as a dark skinned girl walked in. She found her to be extremely gorgeous, in that natural sense. Blake smiled to which the girl returned when she saw her.
"Hi," Blake said to her as she got off the floor and onto her feet.
"Hi," she replied. "I'm Kate."
"Blake," she said.
Kate's eyes widen for a second.
"You're Blake?" she asked. Blake nodded slowly, wondering why she knew her. "Pogue and the guys told me all about you."
"How do you know my brother and his friends?" she asked.
"He never mentioned me?" she said, more to herself.
"I haven't really talked to him," she stated.
"Oh, well, I'm his girlfriend."
"Oh, cool," Blake said.
"So what are the odds that you would be my roommate?"
"Yeah, weird… but we'll get along just fine. I can see it," Blake grinned widely at her choice of words. "We're all connected in some way."
"Yeah, and there are no secrets about the covenant to hold with anyone anymore, puts the pressure off my back. It's kind of weird. My last roommate, Sarah, was dating Caleb, she knew about it too, found out herself with a little research before she just upped and left; an accident with a lost family line," she explained. Blake knew what she meant and what happened and that was her parents' reason for bringing her back home, who knew what other dangers there are out there?
"Caleb's kind of in a sensitive state right now," she said.
Blake nodded.
Caleb has always been sensitive… but over a girl?
"Weird…" Blake mumbled.
"Have you seen the guys yet?" Kate asked.
"Not yet, but I was about to leave. They said to head straight to Caleb's place… I was supposed to be there two hours ago, but came here instead."
Kate's brows rose in astonishment and breathed a laugh.
"You better get a move on then. Knowing those boys, they are not patient."
"Tell me about it," Blake said.
"I have a question," Kate began, "where did you get the name Blake?"
"My name is actually Catherine, but I favor my middle name, Blake, more. Just the way my brother prefers Pogue and not Christopher."
"You guys are too alike, aren't ya," she said and laughed, Blake joining her.
"I guess you can say that," she said. "I should get going to go see them. Knowing these guys all my life," she stopped, referring to the 'no patience' deal with them.
"You got that right," Kate said waving to Blake as she watched her leave.

"You sure it was today that she was supposed to be here?" Tyler asked to Pogue. It's been almost two hours and Blake was nowhere to be seen or heard from. They had tried calling her, but she never answered. They began to worry if they even had the right number.
"It's today, I swear," Pogue said.
Everyone was nervous to see her. They, after all, haven't seen her in three years. They were anxious and excited at the same time. Excited to see how much she changed and matured, but just excited in general.
Pogue missed his little sister and he couldn't wait any longer to see her. Like every other older brother, he was very protective of his 'baby sister' and would screen every guy that came near her, by throwing an arm around her to pull her into hugs or get the other coven members to do it; or just walking and bumping the other guys in the shoulder to hint that she wasn't available to them or any other guy that tried. He loved his sister, and would do anything for her; except give a guy and Blake his blessing so she can be with him.
Tyler wanted and needed his partner in crime back with him. He missed the days they would pull small pranks on the others, only because they were closer in age. And ever since she left, that's when he earned the title as shy Tyler who kept to himself. Her leaving was the reason why he became so close to Reid, to replace Blake's outgoing and rebellion ness figure.
Reid remembered the times they shared together. They were extremely close in many ways. Reid was always welcoming her with hugs, just so he could hold her. They'd cuddle on the bed or on a couch as the two of them and the others watch a movie. She'd kiss his cheek and Reid in return would do the same thing. She would sit on his lap when there weren't enough chairs and he'd warmly welcome it. Blake would truly be the only girl he loved. And it was real, not like his one night stands.
Caleb felt edgy and happy. Their relationship was as close as her and Pogue. He was the one she'd come to when she had a problem, either with Pogue or if something had happened. He'd let her cry on his shoulder as they lay in bed together. She would talk to him, and he'd talk back, offer advice and comfort. Then everything became awkward.
"I just don't know what to do, Caleb, everything he does bothers me," a very tearful Blake said to him.
"He's your brother, Blake, he's only looking out for you," he replied to her.
"I know that, but sometimes… he just takes it too far." Blake let out a loud sob, grasping Caleb's shirt tightly and burying her face into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her.
"Don't cry, please, I hate it when you cry, Blake." And she cried many times to him.
"I can't help it," she stubbornly said. Caleb sighed and reluctantly let her continue soaking his shirt. He ran his fingers down her hair in a way to comfort her.
"It's going to be alright, Blake."
"Caleb," she called, he looked down, seeing her red eyes. She leaned her face into his, pressing her lips gently to his. He was so shocked, and didn't know how to comply, but eventually did and leaned into it. Suddenly he pressed his lips closer to hers, with a stronger edge, as his hand slid up the back of her head and held them there to pull her in closer if it were possible. Blake couldn't hold back and slid her hands up his chest, then unexpectedly pulled away.
"I'm sorry… I shouldn't have done that," she apologized and quickly began to gather her things.
"Blake, its all-" he was stopped at hearing his door being slammed. Her taste still lingered his lips, and he slowly brought his fingers to touch them.
Caleb remembered the scene, and wished he could go back to it and do something right about it. After that day she had kissed him, he barely saw her or spoke to her, and when things were slowly going back to normal, she came to them with news of her leaving to China. He was worried for how things would play out now.
"Yo, Caleb," someone called out to him and he finally came back down to reality.
"What's up, man? We've been calling your name for like five minutes, you okay?" Pogue said.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just thinking," he replied.
They rolled their eyes.
"It was Sarah, right?"
"Believe it or not, Blake," he said.
"Well, Kate called me, said she met Blake in her room, their roommates now, weird, huh? Anyways, Blake is on her way right now." Pogue walked away to be the first to meet her as she rolled in. Reid followed him to try to beat him to Blake once she arrived. Tyler stuck behind with Caleb.
"Hey, Caleb, what happened to you and Blake before she left? If I remember, you two were… acting really weird around each other," Tyler said.
Caleb didn't answer.
"…Nothing," he said, before getting up with a sigh and walking out the door, with Tyler trailing behind him.
