Authors Note: I know, I am a terrible person. I promised to have this up much sooner. I have no time to write and I am sorry I made a promise I didn't keep. Here is the next chapter with a NEW CHARACTER!! I hope you all enjoy. I have decided to let the story play out as I have written it thus far, no more whining for a beta. Unless someone wants to do it, I'll be more than happy to let you do it.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Covenant or any of its chacters. I do own Riley, Tristan, and the new character.

Chapter 6

Tristan sat on the ground outside the Putnam barn. She hadn't moved since her phone call with Caleb. She didn't know how she had gotten to the barn. The last thing she remembered was Caleb leaving to go to Riley's house.

Tristan shivered and wrapped her arms tighter around her body. She was barefoot and in her pajamas in front of the barn. Tristan stared off into the distance listening closely for Caleb's mustang.

Gravel crunched loudly as a car sped down the road toward the barn. The headlights swept past Tristan bathing her in warm white light briefly. Tristan remained seated on the ground as she watched Caleb jump out of his car and run toward her.

The hummer pulled up before Caleb reached her. Riley, Tyler, and Pogue jumped out before the hummer stopped completely and Reid quickly followed behind them. Caleb got within five feet of her before her went flying back several feet and landed on his back in the mud.

"Caleb," Riley and Tristan shouted loudly. Tristan jumped up and tried to run to her brother but ran into the same force field he had. Riley skidded to a stop next to Caleb and helped him.

"Are you ok? What happened?" Riley asked as Caleb stared at Tristan.

"What are you doing I'm trying to help you," Caleb shouted at Tristan angrily.

"I didn't do it Caleb I swear," Tristan shouted as she tried to push her way through the force field.

"She didn't do it. I did," a girl's voice called from the doorway of the barn. Tristan inhaled sharply when the girl stepped out into the moonlight. The girl's white blonde hair seemed to glow as it streamed out behind her.

Riley clenched her fists angrily and glanced at the guys. She raised her eyebrows when she the looks of recognition on their faces. "Who the hell are you?" Riley demanded.

The girl smirked at Riley briefly. "It's been a long time Caleb. Did you miss me?" the girl asked as she drew closer to Tristan. "I see you moved on. I don't blame you though, you thought I was dead."

Riley stiffened as the girl stared intently at Caleb. "What's the matter Caleb? Cat got your tongue?" the girl questioned wryly.

Riley desperately wished she still had powers. She would have blown this girl to bits. "Listen blondie we don't really have time for this so if you could skip to the part where you tell me who you are and you let Tristan go that would be great." Riley snapped as she stepped in front of Caleb. Powers or not she wasn't going to stand by and watch this girl steal Caleb.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you Red. You don't have any powers. What are you going to do? Hit me?" The blonde girl said rudely.

Riley lunged at the girl but Caleb grabbed her arms before she could hit the girl. "Cut it out Catherine. This has nothing to do with Riley," Caleb said quickly. He pushed Riley back toward Pogue who held her against his chest refusing to let her go.

"This has everything to do with her Caleb. She's got something I want and I'm not going to rest until I get it," Catherine explained.

"What do you want Cat," Caleb demanded loudly.

"You," Cat said quickly. Riley struggled against Pogue angrily but he still wouldn't let her go. "I think I made your girlfriend upset." Cat said pouting her lips.

"I'll show you upset," Riley spat still struggling against Pogue.

Catherine laughed manically. "I just love reunions, don't you Tristan?" Cat asked turning back to the captured girl. "You are the one that killed me after all. You should be jumping with joy to see your dear best friend alive again."

"You died," Tristan stammered quickly. "You died in that car crash everyone said you died!"

"You shouldn't believe everything you hear Tristan," Cat said shaking her head. "What about the rest of you? Reid? Tyler? Pogue? Aren't of you glad to see me?"

Tyler's mouth moved up and down like a fish, but no words came out. Catherine had been dead for three years, they had all gone to her funeral. Catherine's death was a large part of the reason Tristan had left.

Reid stared at Catherine blankly trying to take it in. His sister was alive. Reid swallowed hard. "Where have you been? If you've been alive this entire time where have you been?" Reid asked softly.

"Ask her," Cat snapped looking directly at Tristan. "She knew where I was but she ran away. You wouldn't help me Tristan."

"I didn't know Cat! They told me you were dead! If I had known, I would have helped you! I didn't know," Tristan screamed. Tristan collapsed to the ground as sobs racked her body. She kept mumbling that she didn't know.

Riley stopped struggling against Pogue and glanced at the children of Ipswich. "So you came back to take Caleb from me and to torture his sister? What kind of person are you?" Riley demanded. She felt a familiar surge flowing through her body.

Riley smirked at Catherine as her eyes rolled to black. Riley shifted slightly and made Pogue's arms drop. Riley's smile broadened as she walked past Catherine and through her force field.

Riley knelt next to Tristan and helped the girl to her feet. "It's ok," Riley whispered softly. Catherine spun around to look at Riley and waved her hand at the force field. It hardened into a large square case, enclosing both the girls.

Riley rolled her eyes at Catherine. "You'll have to do better than that," Riley said as she shattered the case and sent all the glass flying at Catherine.

Riley strode over to Catherine and got right in her face. "I don't know why you're back and frankly I don't care. Stay away from me, I have had enough of psychos with powers who want revenge. You do anything like that to me again and there won't be anything left for you to come back from. Got it?"

Catherine smirked at Riley and leaned over pushing herself closer to Riley's face. "You don't scare me," Catherine said nonchalantly.

Riley glanced up at the sky and blinked once. Lightning danced across the sky and thunder clapped angrily. "You may not be scared, but you should be." Riley snapped before snatching Tyler's keys out of Reid's pocket and pulling Tyler, Pogue, and Tristan toward the hummer.

Riley made sure all of them were in the hummer before she turned back to look at Caleb. He was still froze in the same spot staring at Catherine. "It was nice meeting you," Riley joked coldly before climbing into the hummer and driving away.
