Disclaimer: I don't own "The Covenant" it was a film written by J.S Cardone. Also, my story and character inspiration came from "Dead Like Me," written by Bryan Fuller. I highly recommend watching the show if you really liked my first chapter. (Even though the show is canceled, I'd do anything to have a 3rd season) I'm hoping no one will sue me for writing a fan fiction hahaha. I'm not making any money off of this. I'm just a kid with a huge imagination and who loves to write stories just for the hell of it and I really don't want people getting touchy about who owns what. It's like saying "I own the letter 'q' and if you use it in any way, I'll sue you!" see what I mean. I don't want people getting crazy like that. lol
I'd like to thank my two beautiful friends for helping me with my story. With all the editing and that jazz. If I just posted myself, it would end up terrible. lol.
Please Read and Review. I'd love to hear about your thoughts, (Even if there just flames) I don't really care. That's your opinion.
I want to apologize for taking such a long time with this chapter. I'm sorry, but here it is Finally! .
I'll try to write faster, justchool is killing me and I've been so busy traveling place to place.
Anyways, here it is!

Poor Unfortunate Soul
Years ago people said that the human race was created. Years ago, someone must have been really shit ass bored. I was sitting in my room the other time and I was watching a movie trailer. Something about a feast of whatever. They said the gods got bored and created humans, then love, then laughter, then other types of emotions then yada, yada, yada, bam. You have us, our generation of suck. I felt like they ignored me for a reason and I didn't know if it was good or bad at this point, but right now I was happy that they turned me into a bitch that doesn't care. Why did they create love in the first place? Couldn't they have thought of something better to do between two people? I wasn't going to get married. I'd never get married thanks to my stupid job. But even before that, I never imagine what my wedding would look like. Wasn't girls supposed to picture that type of stuff? It leaves guys off the hook anyways, those bastards.
I honestly didn't understand the whole love business. In short, I was told boy loves girl, girl loves boy, then let things go with the flow. Eventually, you'll find that happy spot and just stand there. In reality I figured, boy falls in love with girl then falls out of love with girl after they fuck. It's a one track mind. Speaking of boys, here comes one now. It was no surprise that Reid would stop from walking any further down the hall to notice me just leaning up against the wall. Why he has the time of day to even look at me, I wouldn't know.
"And…" He started looking at me.
"And what?" I questioned.
"What are you doing here?"
I shrugged, "Nothing, just felt like standing here."
It was unconvincing to Reid. He faced me crossing his arms. His eyes narrowed looking at me up and down.
"You look guilty."
"I'm not."
He stepped closer. Out of all the places he liked to run into me, I think an empty hallway turned him on even more. Unless he stepped into my bedroom, then perhaps I'd be at a disadvantage.
"What did you do?"
I shook my head, "Nothing." Reid still gave me an odd look, "You gonna walk me to class?"
I pushed myself off the wall and clicked my heels down the hall. Reid followed closely behind with that odd look still painted on his face.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes," I snapped, "Why do you ask?"
"You just seem…happy," he said, nonchalantly.
"Is that such a crime?"
"It's not a crime, it's just weird."
I sighed stopping and turning to Reid, "I just feel like acting this way, alright?"
"In that case, care to keep me company in the bed room?"
I rolled my eyes, "I'm happy, not horny."
"Same thing."
I had that feeling where my life just hit a fork in the road and all of a sudden, I decided to go the wrong way. Don't ask me why, but right now I wasn't thinking straight. I wasn't thinking straight for awhile. Don't tell me it has something to do with this Tony guy.
"Poinsettia Jasmine!"
I cringed at the words. Who the fuck likes to use my full name and why in public? Reid happened to enjoy it though. He looked at me with a cheesy smile and mouthed, "Poinsettia?"
My feet lifted off the ground with someone grabbing around my waist and spinning me around a couple times before I got dizzy and placed on the marble floor to be squeezed tight.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Sarah yelled in my ear.
"Sarah," I started slowly, "I don't do well with hugs."
She immediately let me go and asked again, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"Kate had to tell me."
Oh fuck. My eyed went noticeably wide looking back and forth from Reid and Sarah. I put my arm around her and led her down the hallway, "We'll talk."
"What is she talking about?" Reid asked curiously.
"PJ said yes to Tony."
As if slapping her across the head didn't make it any obvious that Reid shouldn't have heard that. Reid's not allowed to hear that. I wanted to avoid telling a whole mob of people about me saying a simple word to a boy. Again, why was it so hard to believe?
"You mean, you have a date for the ball?" Reid questioned.
"Yeah, so?"
He shrugged, "Just different."
I didn't quite understand what Reid was feeling at this moment. He was calm, too calm. It almost scared me. The bell rang in my ears and I was walking to lovely English. Even though it annoyed the piss out of me, it was better than the other classes I had. It beat PE by a long shot, but that didn't mean I liked the fact of being trapped inside a room with Reid for 80 minutes. I'm sure most girls would rip off their panties and pull up their skirts. I rather like having my skirt covering my ass.
"I want everyone to take out their books and turn to chapter six." Mr. Foster ordered, "Miss Jolene, may you start reading."
To tell you the truth, I think I was bored all the time. I know people tell me this constantly, but the only reason why I'm bored is because I think too much and I think too much because I'm bored. Do you see my dilemma here?
Kendra, or Miss Jolene, as Mr. Foster called her, had stopped reading because of an unwanted knock at the door. And I'm not kidding when I say unwanted knock. It was a nightmare coming to life. You know that dream where you show up at school naked? Well those type of dreams never happened to me. Instead, I was ended up with something worse.
"Goddamn." I mumbled sighting the man who knocked the door.
"May I help you?" Mr. Foster asked with a fake smile.
"Uh, yes, I'm here to see Miss PJ Mortem. I'm here to pick her up for a doctor's appointment."
Doctor's appointment, what a great excuse. Mr. Foster looked up at me then nodded as a sign for me to slip out of class. For once, I did want to go to class. I was afraid to step out of class. I clutched my fingers, but got up anyways, grabbing my things. Reid quickly grabbed my arm pulling me down to whisper in my ear.
"Who is that?" he demanded.
"The devil." I replied simply.
He might as well be the devil because it's not every day you see Justin Moore off his lazy ass and calling your name. I took my sweet time clicking down the steps with Justin eyeing me. I didn't know if he was angry or if it was just his normal face. My eyes averted away from him and landed on Caleb. He gave me an odd look as Justin placed his hand on my back and lead me out of the room.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him quickly.
"Just thought I drop by."
"I didn't do anything."
"I didn't say you did anything."
"So, why are you here then?"
"Munchkin, what are we again?"
I groaned, "Oh please, not now."
"All the time."
He started dragging me down the hallway towards the exit where I assumed Seth had been waiting. I was worried at this point. With Justin away from his precious computer, it meant something was a miss. It was as if the world suddenly went out of the orbit and things started to cool down or heat up depending which direction the earth was kicked.
"What can you tell me about Leviathan?" Justin asked me.
My eyes popped out of my head and I quickly went limp, dropping myself to the floor and having Justin look back at me with annoyance.
"I don't do ocean hunts."
"This is your job."
"I don't recall this on the application."
He sighed, "PJ, get up and stop acting like a kid."
"No," I pouted.
"Fine, have it your way."
He let go of my wrist then carried me around my waist and over his shoulder. I was still numb trying to make myself feel heavy, but the plan was back firing on me. The cool breeze was soon hitting my skin. Justin dropped me to the snow covered ground as I pretended to act dead. He slid the van door opened putting his leg up and resting his arm on it.
"Come on, Munchkin," he barked at me. "Unless you want to freeze your ass off."
"I don't feel well," I mumbled.
"Seth, help me with her."
Seth came around the van and picked up my arms as Justin picked up my legs. I gripped on the open van door to avoid going in, but they kept forcing me.
"Stop acting like a child!" Justin hollered at me.
"She is only 16," Seth mumbled.
"You shouldn't be hitting on 16 year olds, Seth," I mumbled. I was talking about the girls at my school and Seth's constant visiting.
"You, get in the car." Justin ordered, "And you, no more picking up young girls. They're too good for you."
My body flew into the vehicle with my fingers still at the door. Justin purposed slammed the van shut.
"AH! FUCK!"
My free arm quickly struggled to grab for the handle where I slid it open again to look at my crumpled fingers all blue and purple. Justin still stood there leaning his arm on top of the car. My mouth was still open from the pain, but slowly, it was vanishing. My fingers still looked fucked though.
"This is what you get for being an ass," he told me. "Now shut the fuck up till we get there."
He shut the door again as my expression turned from pained to anger.
"Stupid Jerk," I muttered.
I stared at my fingers for the longest time as Seth drove to the destination that called the hunters name.
"That's what happens when you play with fire, Munchkin," Justin sighed. "You get burned."
"Old fire," I rolled my eyes.
He slapped Seth in the arm, "Make a left turn up there."
"Where the hell are we going?" he asked.
"That's for me to know."
"I'd like to know," I told him then he shot me another glance my way. "Please."
"You already got your hint, use your imagination."
"I'd like to remind you again, I don't do well with water."
The van stopped right on the pier. I didn't know if we were in Ipswich or not. Did Ipswich have a pier? Didn't matter, because I was forced to do my job whether I liked it or not. Ever since I was ranked as a hunter I've tried nothing but to get myself fired. It doesn't work.
The three of us climbed out of the van with Justin leading the way up to a man standing on the dock by a few boats.
"Excuse me, sir," he called out.
The man looked up with a friendly smile sticking his hand out to greet Justin.
"Well how do you do, sir?"
"I'm fine." Justin took a look behind us then back to the man. "We were wondering if we could rent one of these fine boats."
"Now? This time of the season? Sorry sir, we don't let any tourist out at sea during the winter."
"This is on important business."
"By what means?"
"That's none of your concern, now if you'll be so kind as to lend one to us."
The man shook his head. "Sorry, rules are rules."
Justin bit the inside of his cheek then pushed out a weak smile. "I thank you for your time then."
He stuck out his hand again only to slightly tip over running into the other man. He quickly caught Justin and straightened himself up. Justin just nodded and headed back in our direction.
"Well that was great. Fucking fantastic," Seth commented.
Justin ignored him taking out some keys from his pocket, "We're looking for a boat called the 'Sea Gull.'"
"You little thief," Seth smiled taking the keys then looking around the dock. "Right over there."
He made a dash for it as Justin walked beside me.
"What can you tell me about Leviathan?" he asked me once again.
"How the hell am I supposed to know?"
"You're a reader. Something like this is bound to pop up in some book you read."
I shrugged, "There's a lot of stories about Leviathan."
"Just give me a brief description."
"Well most popular description is a sea monster that you don't want to fuck with."
"A fish?"
"Probably."
We got on the boat just as Justin fired it up and we headed out into the middle of the wide cold waters. Justin made a quick switch off with Seth as Seth opened the case he brought with him consisting of duel pistols, a small knife and an M-16.
"Here," he said, handing me the pistols.
"Why do I get the small guns?"
"I'm giving you the knife too."
I just stared hard at Seth, "Do you even plan on doing anything?"
"Uh…probably not."
"You're going to hell someday."
I was distracted when I heard the engine of the boat cut off. I placed my guns in the holsters and went up to Justin.
"It's here."
"Oh fuck," Seth mumbled, teasingly. "I don't know how to swim."
"Shut up!" I whispered harshly at him.
He let out a little whimper and left it at that as Justin and I stood there calmly in the silence of the cold ocean. It was like we were listening for some sort of sign, but someone just wanted to ignore us. That's what I thought until the boat started to slightly rock. I held onto the side to keep my balance.
Justin sighed, "Don't worry, false alarm."
"False alarm?" Seth shrieked. "Boat doesn't fucking rock like that out of no where."
Boy was he right. The boat suddenly tossed into the air with our bodies flying through the cool winds. I let out a scream. The moment before I plunged into the water upside down I spotted it. There it was, the sea monster with dead eyes. It spotted me as well with hunger. At that moment, I knew I was screwed.
The water stabbed my heated body taking it away and placing it with blistering frost. I emerged to the surface gasping for air and looking around for any sign of Justin or Seth. I only grew more panicked when I found out that I was alone.
Or so I thought. All I did was thread in water for a couple minutes wondering what to do. My guns were pretty useless in the water and that fucking monster could have been anywhere by now. I was only growing paranoid with each whispering breath escaping my mouth. I could feel my lips turning blue and my teeth chattering together. It was the only sound to comfort me to block out the sound of waves.
It was broken too soon feeling the thick scales clash around my right leg and dragging me under. As much as I wanted to take a lung full of air, I just didn't have time. I was left with the feeling of suffocating again. The dark blue mist of the ocean didn't hide the monster. It's sickly bright yellow eyes burned right through me. Opening it's mouth and lunging at me to eat me whole.
I acted quickly grasping the small dagger Seth gave me, and struck its right glare. I heard it's high screech vibrate running through the water and agonizing my tiny ear drums. It let loose on my leg making a difficult swim to the surface. Leviathan was on my tail. The moment my head stabbed through the water I felt the sea monster rip through. It so happened I was on his head gripping on the fins. He didn't seem to notice. He was eyeing something else.
"Hey kid!" I heard Justin.
He was standing at the bow of a row boat with Seth seating by the oars and a bazooka hanging on his shoulder.
Seth screamed, "Jump Off!"
I didn't need to be told twice. I made my jump diving into the water hearing the critical blast safely from underneath. I looked up at the surface witnessing a white light dancing around where the sea creature was and with a blink, it was gone. For the third time, I resurfaced having Justin pull me up watching my cold body wrap around itself.
"Nice work, Munchkin." Justin commented.
"You make good bait." Seth added.
"Let's never do that again." I chattered through my teeth.
As if being cold out at sea wasn't bad enough, I was walking into the dorms with frost all over my cloths and my face paler than ever. My lips were still painted a nice icy blue and I couldn't feel my ass. I felt numb. Again, a normal person would have died. I wish to god I would have. You know what it's like to walk around feeling absolutely numb?
"PJ," My name was called.
That's when I noticed Tony up ahead. We met inbetween of our distances as he gave me an odd look.
"You look kind of cold." He said slowly.
"Yeah really?" I looked down at myself, "Feels like summer to me."
He didn't laugh, "I wanted to tell you something."
He paused licking his lips and flickered a quick look at my eyes then down to the floor.
"I can't take you to the ball."
My eyes grew, "What?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry."
"Why?!" I didn't know why my tone was being outrageous, but I was kind of pissed. This had to be some sort of record into getting dumped on a date.
"I just, you know."
"No, I don't know."
"I can't, bye."
He bumped past me quickly. I was pissed, but that soon washed away when I saw my frozen left arm on the floor. My eyes popped out jumping around to make sure no one was around and hoping that Tony didn't realize that he just detached my arm. I snatched it off the floor trying to make it quickly to the showers without being seen and without breaking anymore limps. I was going to take a hot shower and hopefully by the time everything was thawed out, I could just hold my arm back in place waiting till it healed.
Being a hunter, stuff like this was expected. Believe me, it's not really cool.
A/N: Holy shit! SO many things have happened since the last time. Let me gossip for a few moments here. I went on an exchange in Singapore for Choir and I was housed with a girl who reminded me of !FERN! Weird huh? My friend who was with me "Who edits this" was talking to me about it as well. I was laughing my ass off. Anyways, Saturday I kissed my ex...more than once...because I like him again. lol. Funny hmm? Anyways, please review! If you love me. 3 Again, I'm sorry for taking so long. I thought it was an okay chapter because you got to see PJ in action and Justin.
