Author's Note: Right so I don't own The Covenant or any of it's characters. I do own Riley, Tristan, Catherine, Elizabeth(you'll see), and John(gasp! another new character!) I want to thank everyone who has reviewed, subscribed, favorited, and anything else this site lets you do. The love is much appreciated! I love getting reviews so let me know what you think about the new chapter. Reviews might be rewarded with a snippet from the next chapter!
Chapter 10
Caleb stared at his sister, his mouth hanging open. How could she? His hands dropped from Riley's arms and she sagged against the wall.
"Why Tristan? Why would you do that to us? To me? We're family. How could you do that to Catherine? She was your best friend we could have helped her!" Caleb exclaimed as he ran his hands through his hair.
Tristan stood in the center of the quad staring at Caleb. "I did what I thought I had to. I was tired of people judging me for not being like you. He wanted to help me, so I let him," Tristan offered.
"Are you even sorry for what you've done?" Caleb demanded. "You killed Riley's father and you ruined Catherine's life!"
Tristan smirked at him viciously. "Like I said golden boy, I did what I thought I had to," Tristan said challenging him. "I don't apologize for any of it. Given the chance I would probably do it again actually."
Riley gasped and her eyes rolled to white as she threw herself at Tristan. With a flick of her wrist, Tristan sent Riley slamming into the nearest wall. Caleb ran over to help Riley up.
Tristan laughed softly to herself and walked from the quad. She pulled her phone out and hit the speed dial. "The plan's in motion," she said quickly. Tristan headed for the front door and climbed into a car that was waiting for her. She snapped the phone shut and glanced briefly at the driver. "Let's get out of here please?"
"Whatever you say babe," the man replied smoothly as he pealed out of the parking lot. "How long until they figure it out?"
"What that I'm not her?" Tristan asked as she shifted shapes. A young woman with sandy brown hair and blue eyes replaced Tristan. "I don't know, I thought for sure Catherine knew. It shouldn't be to long though." Elizabeth said smoothly. "I'm going to use this girl to tear their little covenant apart. Soon we'll have so much power we won't know what to do with it."
"I love how evil you are," John replied glancing at the girl in the passenger seat. "What are we going to do with the real Tristan? You can't pretend to be her forever, and that story about Chase was priceless. I can't believe they bought it."
Elizabeth chuckled to herself. "Yeah I thought it was a bit over the top, but they fell for it. I don't know once we get what we want we'll let her go back to her family. Until then we keep her where she is."

Tristan Danvers, the real one, groaned loudly. She had no idea where she was or how she had gotten there. Her head was pounding and her vision was still foggy. She sat up slowly and slid off the cot she had been laying on.
Tristan caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and groaned again. Whoever had kidnapped had really done a number on her. The side of her face had a series of bruises traveling down it. Her lip was cut, and she was pretty sure the rest of her body was covered with cuts and bruises.
Using her power, Tristan opened the door and crept out slowly. She crouched down and listened for any signs of life. She realized she was in an apartment. Tristan slipped down the hallway into the front room. She had to get out of here and find Caleb and the others.
Tristan had overheard her capturers' plans. They were pretending to be her so they could start a fight among the children of Ipswich. They were going to cause the Covenant to destroy itself from the inside.
Tristan reached the front door and unbolted it quickly. She pushed the door open and looked down the hallway anxiously. When no one appeared, she darted toward the stairs and ran down them two at a time. Tristan darted across the parking lot of the apartment complex and into the woods behind it.
She ran flat out for as long as possible. She stopped after a few minutes and gasped shakily. She knew that until she was back with her family she wasn't in the clear. Tristan continued to jog through the woods for the next hour only stopping occasionally to catch her breath.
When Tristan felt she had gone far enough she made her way out to the road. She immediately knew where she was. She was being kept in an apartment complex near Spenser. She was now standing behind the Spenser dorms. She flipped the hood up on her sweatshirt and pulled it tighter around her body. She made her quickly to the doors and jogged up three flights of stairs.
Tristan made her way down the hallway and knocked on the door at the end. It swung open to reveal a very disgruntled Reid. His face hardened into one of anger immediately. He started to slam the door in her face but she threw herself in the way before he could.
She grabbed his arm and let the past several weeks of her captivity flow from her mind to his. She showed him everything she could remember and even what she knew about Catherine.
"You have to help Reid. If you don't no one else will. Please?" Tristan begged.
Reid nodded numbly and pulled Tristan into his room. She had a lot of explaining to do.
Ohhhh, craziness. Right so next chapter we can look forward to: the truth being revealed to all members of the Covenant, a relationship that is quickly growing into something more, and more from our new enemies!! Reviews are love and you know you love me!! Well my story anyway so review people!!
