I do not own the covenant (sniffle) writing for fun

Well another day another chapter, this one should be a bit more exciting and bring a lot more of the other characters out.

Chapter Seven Friends with benefits

Phoenix had packed her bags she only had two back packs and a small travel bag, she waited paitently for Reid to return from school as she sat in the living room. She had met Reid's parents and his lovely little sister, Emily and by lovely, I mean the spawn of satin, she was only 4, she had blonde curly short hair and bright eyes she was pretty, but Phoenix could see through it all. She couldn't understand how a girl so small could have a sense so evil and devious about her, it was quite concerning. Her wolf could sense evil and Emily practically screamed it when she walked through with her small teddy bear to get a glimpse of her, her eyes seemed to burn through her in some sort of warning, but two could play that game… puppy, child or not.

"Are you and Reid friends?" she asked, her voice full of sugar and spice but no way was that child all things nice, she tried to stay clear of answering the questions. This child could be smart as well as evil, which Phoenix was persistant on.

"Emily, leave poor Phoenix alone, now c'mon get ready for bed" Reid's mom, Melissa picked her up and left Phoenix in the living room.

Melissa was beautiful, complextion of an angel and her voice was soft and tender. She knew where Reid got his dashing looks from when his dad smiled to her, he was very handsome, though Reid muct of gotten his light hair from his mother as his father was dark haired, but Reid had his eyes and chin.

"This isn't over" Emily mumbled evilly, Phoenix just gave a little shiver and mouthed 'may christ compell you'.

Reid soon came through the door "I'm home!" he shouted.

Soon there was a high pitched scream that made Phoenix want to rip off her ears and wimpered with the short snarl "Reid!" Emily came pounding down the stairs not ready for bed in fact she was barely out of her clothes.

"Hey" Reid said picking up Emily and giving her a little hug, holding her close before putting her back down on the floor and crouching to her level" you better get back to mom before she blames me" he smiled ruffling his hand in his little sisters hair.

"There's a girl waiting for you and between you and me, I don't think she's your type" Emily whispered. I knew she was the devil, I knew! Not his type… she was four! How could this possibly know his type.

Reid smiled at his little sister once again "thanks for the dating advice half pint, go get ready for bed" he said standing up he went towards the living room and smiled faintly at Phoenix.

"I guess I'm sorry for two reasons here, and one of them is Emily… she's not used to seeing other girls around here" he said

Phoenix nodded "It's ok… erm I guess I should be the one that should be sorry, I didn't give you a chance to explain" Phoenix said bowing her head in shame and slight embarresment.

Reid shrugged "its understandable".

"Right… well that's off my chest" Phoenix sighed.

"C'mon I'll take you to your room and you can get settled" he smiled offering help with her stuff.

"Thanks".

"No sweat, oh and worry about the rents their going away this weekend and my aunties coming for Emily in the morning".

Phoenix frowned "Rent's?" she questioned.

"Parents" He laughed slightly, turning to look over his shoulder as they patted upto the stairs.

Going into the room Phoenix gasped it was really breathtaking the whole house was really, the walls were fully painted, every room had its own colour scheme but the only thing that stayed the same was the hint of gold with every colour.

The passage was red with a hint of gold, the living room Green, the kitchen was blue and the bathroom was cream.

This room was Purple and silver but no gold, looking around the furniture looked new and the bed looked as if it was never slept in.

"Reid its really pretty" Phoenix sighed

"Yeah my mom loves her colours to match"

"So has any other girls been here a lot?" Phoenix asked as Reid shook his head

"No, never really found any to bring back here" he shrugged.

"So where's your room?" she asked placing down her bag.

Reid took her hand and took her into his room, as soon as she went in she looked around "wow" she mumbled, it was gorgeous his colours were Black; white with the hint of red it looked really great. There were posters up on the wall such as one from the film 'Scareface' Al Pacino and a 'Die Hard' poster with Bruce Willis all dirty and sweaty, it looked like a certain scene in the film. Then the all time favourite for a boy, a half naked girl's calander, a large ice hockey strip was all that covered there body, some just on pants with 'ice babes' imprinted on the bum…. "A sight to see if one".

"Thanks" Reid smiled as he heard her little mumble, Phoenix looked at him.

"Anytime" she sighed nodding.

"Nix, can we talk" he said to which knocked Phoenix out of her eyes studying his room and turned her attention towards him.

Phoenix's POV

His room was amazing, well apart from the calander to which I thought I could do without looking at really, but when he spoke my attention focused on him totally "yeah" I said as he took me to the bed.

"Look, I'm sorry about yesterday and I wanna make it up to you, so this weekend is all about you… we can do anything you wanna do" he said and that was really sweet, I had to smile. No one had done something so nice to me before, he could really surprise her sometimes.

Reid POV

I know I sound like a complete pussy but Nix deserves it, I felt nothing but relief when she smiled. She nods and I get off the bed and walk towards the door so we can get out and do something. "Reid… can we be friends with benefits?".

Whoa hold up did she just say what I think she said?. She did because I turn and she's just looking at me, I know I had to sit on the bed before my legs buckled and I fell to the floor,

"I know what they do, you told me and I understand, you can still have your cake and eat it" she explained to me.

"Ok but you have to promise not to get jealous or hurt if I'm with other girls ok?" I say as she nods.

"And you have to be the same with me" she says but then gives it some thought.

I have to laugh I mean who wouldn't "I mean, you know with boys" she corrects herself, I know that I won't get jealous but I swear if one guy even tries to hurt her, I'll rip them apart.

Phoenix POV

I feel a complete idiot I can't believe I said that, but he found it funny so I guess it could be worse, but this was it we were friends with benefits, that came with the kissing the hugs the…. Oh no I just realised then, what the hell was sex?

"Reid?" I say my tone getting ready to ask a question.

"You want to know about sex right?" he smirks I nod, how did he know?

"Tell ya what wait till my aunt comes for Emily in the morning and I'll tell you then ok"

I nod again, it shouldn't be too hard right, I mean it's not like he'll show me like the kiss, or will he.

"but I'm not doing it with you until your ready" he says, I swear sometimes its like he can read my mind.

The rest of the night we watch movies, Emily and Reid were on the couch as the 'she devil' wouldn't let me near Reid, I swear she was like a mean evil Scottish terror, did I mention she was evil, oh and the spawn of satin. I snuggle up on a large chair watching the film, we're watching 'Armaggedon' and I have to say that Bruce guy, amazing! he was just wow.

Looking at the TV I'm in a daze for a while and didn't even notice Reid take Emily up to bed.

I feel a hand grasp mine and drag me to the couch, obviously it was Reid and he wrapped his arms around me laying me down in front of him we finish watching the movie, his finger was trailing a light figure of eight on my hip and I felt my eyes getting heavier but I didn't want to close them and miss Bruce, but his touch was so soft and… too late, my eyes shut and just couldn't open them again.

When Morning came, I open my eyes to see I'm in the spare room with the purple and silver coloured walls, I must of slept through Emily going, oh I'm so upset, yeah I think I was being sarcastic or whatever.

All I know is I'm not really upset she's gone. Moving out the bed I changed into my pj's and went back in the bed, then I realised maybe I was being bad company for Reid.

Heading down the stairs I see no one around so I head back upstairs to his room, opening the door I enter as quietly as I could so I didn't wake him, that's right the lazy bones had gone back to sleep. Moving closer towards the bed I get in and snuggle up close to him, I felt his arm bring me closer still as it wrapped around me, we settled to sleep for a while longer.
