Well here's another chapter, hope you enjoy this one... once again I do not own covenant or it's characters.

Chapter two

They arrived at Goreman's place and they all took seats on the stools provided, Goreman looked to Layla who stood there still. He pointed to the empty seat.

"Layla take the fifth seat... no Putnams will be sitting there again"

The old man waited for them to sit and opened the book of damnation while the candles lit.

"Just relax and sit there is all you youngsters have to do" being said before he began to chant the first few lines, A bright light filled the room before memories formed by smoke, attracting their attention, all but Goreman's who carried on chanting... The awakening had begun.

But this would have a rather different affect to Layla and Reid than the others, Reid was the first to figure this out...

He awoke later... it wasn't In his dorm room in the bed that lay beside his best friend's bed, it was in mud.

Sitting up the expression that showed on the blondes face was enough to say he was less than impressed by this outcome he had received, studying the teenager could only see the outlines of trees, it was dark and there was no sign of light... anywhere.

Soon the Spencer playboy was greeted with a lamp lit by a candle "you alright boy?", Reid heard it plain as day, but couldn't see anyone, just a horse... not at least until the gentlemen lifted the lamp to show his features, he was the spit of Tyler Simms, but Reid knew it wasn't his best friend. He noticed that the boy had a pony tail and frowned, where the hell was he?

"no I'm not OK... where am I... and what year is it?" the blonde asked scratching his head.

"why your in the town of Ipswich, the year is 1412... your attire is... well I can help you, hop on" he helped Reid onto the horse ad they made their way towards what was the Danvers manor.

Reid was bathed and changed out if his boxers, he was made to wear a white baggy shirt, trousers that tucked into male knee high boots, to the ladies of this year... he was rather attractive, to Reid himself he looked ridiculous. He had no idea that while he was being changed that they had found Layla and brought her here, he paused as he saw her walk down in a long black dress, the neck collar and sleeves edged with white lace, a piny with a small white bonnet that covered her head with her red hair at each side resting on her shoulders, this sort of thing suited her.

Layla studied Reid, he looked pretty good... like a prince from a fairy tale... sort of.

"Layla... you too?" Reid asked, he was replied by a simple nod as the girl looked down.

"hey baby girl, what's wrong?" he asked, he moved over too his friend, for some reason, he couldn't see her sad.

"I'm scared Reid, I wanna go home... I knew this awakening thing was a bad idea" she said and looked to him.

Reid looked her and shook his head, gently touching her arm "look Layla, for now we're stuck... all we can do is just try and stick it out til we get home OK?" she gave him a nod, for once Reid was being the calm and responsible one.

Evelyn looked to Layla and Reid before she cleared her throat to get their attention "there is a small matter, the both of you by this age would have been married and the young lady by now would be with child" she explained.

Reid raised a brow as he looked to the lady "marriage?... seriously, look I don't know if I wanna do that for real let alone to blend in to this place!" now this was the Reid that Layla recognised, she reached out to touch his arm "it doesn't have to be for real... just act it out for now, I just wanna get through this Reid... but I draw a line at the baby thing" she looked to Evelyn who nodded "of course... yes, no baby".

Reid looked to Layla "your OK with getting married?" he asked "me and you? I don't think so Layla, this is way out of my league here... I mean... no, not to you, that's weird".

Layla frowned and looked to Reid as she shook her head "it's because it's me... god for saken if it was Kira or friggen Sarah, no you jump on that band wagon... your a dick Reid Garwin!"

with that being said she just moved up to the room she was changed in and sat on the bed, Simms looked to Reid and shook his head "if you don't wed it could cause problems... mostly on Layla's part in this".

Reid shook his head "I don't think she will now buddy... was it something I said?" he asked.

As per usual, Reid thought he'd done nothing wrong... worst part of this was that Layla had been developing feelings for the boy for quite some time now, it boiled her that he reacted that way, given if it was a different hotter girl he liked, he'd jump straight into it.

As Layla sat on the bed and looked out the window, she glanced as the door opened, Reid moved in and sighed "look I'm sorry, I was a dick... but this is just... I mean marriage is a big deal, just seems to be a lot to just pretend" he added.

Layla looked to him and sighed "Reid I get it... I really do, but we have to have proof, like you said, we got to stick this out while we're here", this got the blonde to nod and he cleared his throat "I suppose your right, and hey... if I would get married, I'll be honoured that it's with you".

Layla shook her head and smiled "you are so full of it Garwin" she pushed him playfully with her elbow and the boy smiled and pulled her close "I won't let anything happen to you baby girl... you have my word" did he really say that? Yes he did, he was gonna protect Layla, hell he wasn't letting some other dick marry her, if she had to be married, Reid was gonna do it himself.

For the first night they would spend it apart until the wedding on Sunday, however they were to act as thought they were happy over the occasion, and strangely enough the two were. Layla glanced over at Reid who was chopping fire wood while she de weeded the garden, moving as he removed his shirt she went over with some water for him.

Taking it he smiled to her "like what you see?" he asked and Layla shook her head "see what?" she was teasing him and even Reid had to admit himself he was beginning to like her, she'd rather sit and talk to him, most girl wanted one thing from him, but then again it was the only thing he had on the menu nine times out ten.

Layla was different, not to mention he saw her in a new light, she was like a new girl to him, one in which he had never met before, maybe the marriage thing wasn't gonna be so hard, especially not with Layla. Layla looked to Reid and smiled again as he kissed her cheek, she felt her insides warm slightly, this was not just the playboy of Spencer... and soon he was going to be her husband... things were looking up and Layla was pretty happy about that, she'd had a rocky start to her new life and if it hadn't been for Reid and the other boys she would have been stuck.
