A/N: My third chapter in one day. Ok...well, this is something new then. Well, let's see...Keira. Well, this chapter-oh, I'll just let you read this and what you think of it.
Chapter 5: The Covenant (Reid/OC)
Reid felt the pain right away. He didn't think, for a second, that Keira was all right...he felt the sadness and the empty hollow that was hurt and sorrow as he felt Keira's soul gone from his senses. He didn't know what to think...or what to feel. He felt...empty...
It was three days after the Fall Fest and he was walking to his next class, not his usual cocky self...instead, he was quiet and kept to himself. Even Caleb and the others were worried. And the girls knew it too: all the advances made to Reid were silently thrown off to the side. Reid never felt this empty ever, and this was the toughest he had ever felt. He never felt that when--no, he shakes his head at the thought of her. He wasn't paying attention as he bumped into someone's back and caused their books to fall onto the marble floor. He watched as the person scrambled to pick up the loose papers and the books together on the floor.
One thing that caught his attention was a tattoo that was peaking out from underneath the Oxford shirt collar; it was a black pentacle with initials on each point. The one she recognized the most was Caleb's and his. His eyes started to widen a bit as he took in other small things of this person: the person had red streaks in their short, dark hair and that they had a silver hoop piercing on their upper left ear. This person also wore black calf-length boots that compliment the person's elongate and toned legs underneath a thigh-length school skirt that was rolled up to that length. The sleeves of the Oxford shirt were rolled up to the person's elbows to show black thin bracelets adoring her wrists...and another tattoo of three small black stars hidden in the mess of stars.
"...Keira..." he breathed out, not knowing why he did that.
The person stopped with what they were doing and looked up at Reid. Hazel-amber brown eyes stared back at Reid's gray-blue eyes. Reid's breath stopped for however long it took for his mind to stop playing tricks on him. In front of him, practically on their knees, was no other than Keira...or someone that looked like her. Reid felt the world around him slow down as he knelt next to the look-alike and grasped their face in his gloved hands.
"Please tell me that you're really you...and not a trick in my head..." he said to the person, praying that his mind wasn't playing tricks on him.
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
The hazel-amber eyes just stared into Reid's with a blank look on her face. Then, slowly, her eyes started to widen a bit, making the amber brown more perdominant over the hazel part of her eyes.
"...Reid...?" she whispered back.
Reid then sighed a relief as he hugged Keira into his lithe and chiseled chest. He allowed the held back tears to fall into Keira's hair as he felt Keira hug him back.
"I missed you..."
"I know...I know, baby."
