Disclaimer: Yup, don't own shiiiz from the Covenant: Although I do own Kira, Christian, Zane, Sebastian & Quince...oh and the two ghosts ya'll met last chapt.

Zane Pov-

I'd found Clarissa at the old 'witch caves'. She looked paler than I remembered her. Weither it was the dim light shining through the forest, or the fact that she claimed she saw ghosts in the caves... I wouldn't know.

"Clarissa, I sware to you that there is nothing in thoes caves." She was currently pushing me back towards the caves. Her eyes narrowed.

"And I sware to you that I SAW THEM!" I took a deep breathe and caught her arm that pushed against my back.

"I can walk on my own..." She pulled her arm from mine, and I wished that I could hold back the stupid comments that always eurpt out of my mouth. She smiled like she had heard my thoughts. Oh shit, what if she did hear it. "Clarissa?" She lifted a finger to her delicate lips, making me think rather...um heated thoughts.

"Hear 'em?" I shook my head. "Then really listen Zane, I sware....you can call me crazy and anything else you want. Just listen." I let my senses go and listened as closely as I could to the forest. I heard some trees rustly in the distance because of the wind...and I heard the rain faitly hitting the trees at the canopy.

"Rue, I don't hear anything." She put her hands on her hips and then I heard them. Laughter.

"SEE!" She screamed when two ghosts floated to the gound infront of us. "I TOLD YOU, idiot." She got quiet and scooted closer to me. Feelings unknown to me flooded through my veins. I wanted to hold Clarissa, I wanted to tell her that she shouldn't be scared...but the stubborn ass in me wanted to show here that there was nothing for her to be afraid of. That I'd always be there to protect her. 'oh you did a mighty fine job of that earlier today, when thoes men tried to take her...huh!' the voice inside my head sneered.

"Back already dear one?" Dear one? What in the world. Clarissa nodded and stepped closer to me. "AH! Who do we have here?" The lady in the front stepped towards me too...

"Naomi, love I don't think that's such a good idea." The man to her said warned. She shrugged him off and took another step towards me. I felt Clarissa's arm touch mine, and her hand...GRAB MINE. Oh, jeeeus the warmth of that small little hand the fit perfectly in mine... was like magic.

"And you're name is?" She asked. It was then that I noticed that they both wore different clothes. Such clothes that one would have worn back in the late 1700s to early 1800s. Dresses that showed little to no skin, breeches that tucked into boots. Waist coats made of wool and cotton. The lace on Naomi's dress looked soft to the touch, and it made me want to touch it.

"Z-Zane." Clarissa stuttered from my side. Instinct took over, I guess you could say, and I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and held her close. "His name is Zane." Naomi smiled.

"He was the one to call your name from far away." The man smiled. "Daniel, look at them...remind you of someone?" Naomi lifted a light blonde eyebrown. Daniel looked from myself to Clarissa with a knowlegeable look.

"Ai Princess, they do." He bowed and took a step forward. "Forgive me. I am Daniel Garwin, Earl of the new land." My eyes bugged from my socets...although I wasn't sure Clarissa noticed it. He smiled and his darker blonde hair shifted when he bowed again. "Pray Princess, do tell us how you plan to inform them." The princess, who was Naomi, smiled and placed a hand on his arm.

"Milord, you think me so foolish to express my plans so far in advanced?" He shook his head and smiled as he kissed him on the cheek. "For now, their destinys have been intertwined." He seemed to calculate that and nodded in agreement.

"I do see the familalirities...for one the young lad is strong and smart...and the girl is well-"

"Extremely beatuiful...just like her mother." Clarissa stiffened. "Do not seem so suprised, for we come from the same family lines as you.

"Same bloodlines?" Clarissa asked coming back to the present. "I-I've seen you in the Garwin's house before! Oh lord...you're the Earl and the Princess that married out of the lines.!" Everything made sense now. The two married, forbiddenly, and where forced to live in the forest. "That's why the Garwin's bloodline is tainted, because of the princess's family." The princess's face grew sullen. "Sorry."

"No, it's not you dear. For it is true, my bloodlines are tainted, with what...we shall never know. But that is why the Garwin's powers are so limited." I nodded in understanding. Sebastian, a great as friend as he was, he'd never be able to preform the same gifts that Christian and I would.

"Such a loss, but a loss I'd gladly give up ten-fold." Daniel smiled down at his wife and wiped away a translucent tear. "My love, shall we tell them now...forgive me, but it is an itch I must scratch." Naomi smiled and nodded.

"Pray the do not faint." Naomi and Daniel laughed and then suddenly became very serious.

Daniel was the first to speak. "Have you heard of the legened of the 'Dark lords' ?" They both looked expectantly at us.

"Um, no I must have missed that one..." Clarissa mumbled. "I don't have powers, so I'm never allowed in the meetings." Daniel smirked.

"For now."

"WHAT!" I didn't know I had screamed, but apparently I had. "Girls don't inherit powers, they don't ...first born MALES." Clarissa and Naomi glared at me.

"Zane, my brother you forget that she is powerful." He pointed to Clarissa, and smiled even bigger. "Even more powerful than the dark lord that struggles to keep himself at bay."

"Chase?" He nodded. "Chase Goodwin-Pope?" He nodded again.

"Princess would you care to enlighten the young couple?" Naomi nodded and Clarissa blushed bright red at Daniels comment.

Clarissa's pov-

"We are not a couple." I said after the redness in my cheeks had subsided. I tried not to notice Zane's apparent frown.

"Again I say 'for now'." Daniel said smiling again. I half wanted to wipe the smile off his face, and half wanted to kick it off. Right now, kicking was starting to win. "Princess." Naomi nodded and stood straighter.

"The ledgened goes as such: The day the families battle great power is the day the first of females shall gain a power, greater than that of the power she hath destroyed." She smiled as if she had the hardest time remembering the story. "OF CORSE , it was very hard for me to remember...it's been for freaking hundred bloody years."

"D-did you just?" She nodded. "Sorry." I smiled sheepishly

"No harm done." Daniel said touching Naomi's arm slightly. "Come to us when the full moon is to emerge on the 18th birthday of the Garwin child. He shall learn of his destiny too, for the gods have much instore for him." We both nodded and then Daniel's face became serious. "Do not let pety rivalies lead you down the wrong path Sir Chrstian." I heard myself gasp as Christian come out from behind his car. His face looked as though he was in pain. "She was never ment for you, that you should know...because the more you pursue her, the farther you're rightful one moves away." Christian glared at the leaves by his feet.

"Feh, sure."

"Pray...child do tell us what upsets you so greatly." Naomi said in whispers. Daniel shook his head.

"No dear Princess, that is best left for another day. The children have much to learn, for Christian...heed my warning." Christian just nodded.

"Good bye Dear." Naomi said kissing my forehead. "Lucky days are head" She leaned towards me smileing and whispered. "If you ever need me, just call." I nodded and smiled when she tried kissing Zane on the forehead. His eyes looked like he was about to pass out.

"What Zane, scared of a little ghost?" Naomi and Daniel mocked then dissappeared.

"You both have alot to tell your parents." Christian said unmoving, and not looking up from the gound. Apparently we weren't the only ones keeping secrets!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH, what's wrong with CHRISTIAN!? hmm, guess ya'll will have to figure it out on your owwwn.!

ILY R&R , pleaseee ?
