Disclaimer: Sadly, I still don't own The Covenant, but I'm planning a very sneaky way of gaining the rights… Any one wanna join?
Heyy! Sowi it took me so long to update, but Exams took me by storm and I didn't have a chance to update any sooner. I wanted to update more than this little bit, but it's difficult for me to write the date scenes since I've never actually went on a date before… so I don't really know how to write it perfectly, but I'm trying my best.
~*Thanks*~ to all who reviewed and faved/followed, it means a lot to me, really it does.
I'll try and update Sunday night; hopefully I'll have completed the date scenes. Sadly, Order is almost coming to an end; there are only a few more chapters left. But, I do have a sequel for this story, so you guys are just gonna have to let me know once I end this story if I should upload the Sequel.
Without further ado…. THE STORY…!
"Okay, so we have to go now. My mom just phoned and said to get our buts at home." Lacy said, looking at the girls.
They were all situated in Aleera and Fallon's dorm room, empty food wrappers on the floor.
"You mean our outfits have finally been decided on?" Sophy questioned from her spot next to Tyler, standing up and releasing his hand. Tyler silently pouted.
Lacy nodded.
"What outfits?" Fallon questioned, getting up from her bed.
"Our moms said they would pick our outfits for tonight's dinner." Lacy filled in Aleera and Fallon.
The girls ushered the boys out the dorm room and gave them goodbye hugs - walking down the hall and down the stairs, to their respective vehicles.
Once the girls disappeared from sight, Reid turned to his 'bothers'.
"We might have a problem." His face was serious, eyes shining with anger and scare.
"What are you talking about, Reid?" Caleb questioned, making their way to the younger Sons' dorm.
"Sophy had a nightmare... about spiders, Caleb."Reid's voice was firm, his fingers working quickly to unlock the door. The boys entered the slightly messy room, taking seats where they could find any.
Caleb's face was grave as he spoke, "You think Chase might be behind it?"
Reid and Tyler nodded.
Caleb ran a hand over his face and through his hair. "It's possible; I mean they never found a body. But I haven't felt someone use and why would he target Soph? He didn't seem to know about us having sisters when he threatened us. And don't you think he would have gone after them and used one – or all – of them against us if he did know about them?" He looked at all his 'brothers' as he spoke.
Reid sighed and plopped down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. "I guess you're right, but what else could it be? Did you see how Sophy acted last night at Nicky's? He could have put a spell on her or something; maybe he found a way to cover his power surges..." Reid trailed off, shaking the image of his sister from the previous night from his mind.
"I know you're worried about her Reid, believe me if it was Fallon I'd probably be acting the same. But I seriously doubt that it's Chase." Caleb sat down next to his younger brother, trying to ease the worry from Reid. He knew as well as the rest of his brothers that Reid was the most protective over his younger sister. He remembered how Reid had acted when Sophy was still a little baby and how Reid had refused to leave the summer when they had to go to Camp Iwanahee.
"Yeah Reid, isn't Sophy afraid of spiders? Like, remember that day when she found a spider crawling in her bed and she didn't want to sleep n her room for a whole month?" Pogue laughed at the memory, wanting his younger brother to act like he usually does: cocky and unafraid of anything.
Caleb, Tyler and Reid cracked smiles – yes, Reid Garwin actually smiled – and the tension in the room slowly began to leave.
"We'll still keep an eye out though, just in case." Caleb stated patting Reid on his back. Reid nodded and one could visually see the normal Reid returning.
"Why did Sophy leave last night? She was fine when she sat back down at the table, but after she and Aleera stared at one another she looked...hurt or something." Pogue asked, sitting in one of the desk chairs.
"I don't know, this morning she woke up with bloodshot eyes, almost as if she was crying. But what did Aleera have to do with anything? They didn't even speak to each other after we came back from kicking Aaron's ass." Reid stated, his blonde eyebrows furrowing as he recalled the previous night.
Caleb, Pogue and Tyler shrugged, trying to figure out why the youngest Child of Ipswich had been so devastated the night previous.
"Hey, did you guys notice how the girls would space out and then just burst out laughing at the same time or would smile or frown at the same time?" Tyler questioned as he leaned back on his bed.
Recognition made its way on to Caleb's, Reid's and Pogue's faces as they recalled all the times their sisters would suddenly smile at one another or frown or laugh or share looks of knowing. The boys just thought it was an inside-joke or something the girls shared, but now, looking deeper they could see beyond it being a coincidence so many times.
"What the hell is going on that we don't know?" Reid sighed in frustration.
"We should just leave it. If there is something they're keeping from us, it's probably not something big and they'll probably tell us in time." Pogue said, trying to keep the tension and suspicion out of the room. He knew his sister – and the other girls – very well, and he knew if there was something they were keeping from the boys; it meant it was serious and they would tell them in time, as long as he and the rest of the boys don't press them or caution them with suspicion.
Caleb shook his head and gave his brothers an encouraging smile. "Yeah, Pogue's right. They'll tell us what's going on when they're ready... Now, what are we gonna do until we have to get ready for tonight?"
I just wanna add here for all of you that are reading "Deadly Secrets" that I'm having the same dilemma with the whole dating thing in that fic of mine… but I'm gonna make appoint to update Sunday night.
Please review…. I need some ideas for Reid and Lacy's date, really I do…. PWEASE!?
