Ch 10

Emily woke up with Zack's arm around her. She opened her eyes slowly, savoring each moment. When her eyes opened she realized she was in Ipswich and it was Reid's (not her boyfriend Zack) arm around her. She closed her eyes and swore to herself as she heard footsteps. "Rise and shine sleepy heads." Emily pretended to just wake up and shook Reid's arm away. She was always the best actress.

"Caleb why didn't you wake us up when you got home?" she asked as she tried to rub the sleep from her eyes.

"You guys were fast asleep," he told her and winked at Reid. Emily got off the bed.

"Whatever," she replied. "I'm going to take a shower." She stopped at the door and told Caleb, "I do have a boyfriend at B.E. and I'm not breaking up with him just because I'm moving back here." She sprinted upstairs and jumped into the shower. She washed quickly and put her robe on. She then blow dried her hair. She carefully put eye shadow on her upper lid because her dad had always complained about her using it. She was applying lip gloss when there was a knock on the door. Caleb opened the door and leaned against the frame.

"So when were you going to tell me about your boyfriend?"

"Dunno, when were you going to tell me about Sarah?" Emily countered as she curled her eye lashes. She would have liked to apply eye liner but knew she would most likely cry it off.

"I don't like that you've been keeping this from me. I've only been with Sarah for a week."

"Huh, well if you must know I've been with Zack over a year." She brushed her hair while he though and pinned it up into a bun.

"Why did you keep this from me?" Emily looked at her brother.

"Because I didn't want you guys to interfere with my normal life at B.E." Caleb grabbed her arm and looked into her eyes.

"I want you to be happy, but I also want you to be safe."

"After last night's encounter I'm not going to argue with you." Emily smiled and he smiled back. It was his old familiar smile to Emily's relief. "But if your done I kind of need to change. He left their connecting bathroom through his door, and she through hers. She then pulled on her black silk dress and comfortable Payless black heel shoes. She went into her bag and pulled out the small jewelry box she always carried with her whenever she went on a trip. She opened the box and pulled out the silver necklace the families of the covenant gave her after her thirteenth birthday. It was a pentagram and had the families' coats of arms engraved in each point, even the Putnam's. She wore it at B.E. whenever she needed to feel closer to home. There was a knock on the door.

"Emi, you decent?" Tyler asked. Emily opened the door and pretend to be annoyed.

"Like I was about to put on my Tiffany's earrings," she joked. They went down the stairs where the rest of the boys (and their parents) sat at the kitchen table. Emily said a quick hello to the Parry's and Mr. Garwin before she took her seat in between Caleb and Tyler. Reid sat across from her and handed her the plate of French Toast that was set on the table. They all ate together and then got into their cars to attend the funeral. Emily rode in the back seat of the hummer. She sat back there with Caleb and Pogue. Caleb was going to take his own car until she talked him out of it by reminding him he probably wouldn't be up to driving afterwards. The trip there was quiet. Reid kept looking back at her as if he wanted to say something to her. She ignored him after the third time by starring out the window the rest of the way.

When they got to the graveyard (owned by the families of the Covenant) they walked to the only crypt in the entire grave yard. The service would be held outside of it and then the coffin would be placed inside of it where only the descents with powers were allowed to enter and be buried in.

"Emily," Gordon called when he saw them approaching. Emily ran in her heels and hugged the older man.

"It is so good to see you," she told him when they parted. He left her after a few minutes of chatter to say hello to some other people in the families and Emily took a seat in the first row of chairs. Caleb sat next to her and her mother sat on her other side. Pogue, Tyler, and Reid took seats directly behind them.

"Welcome," Gordon greeted. "We gather here today to remember our brother uncle husband and father William. As anCovenant, we grieve together for this loss." Emily knew that he usually said more, but had a feeling the Sons of Ipswich were keeping most of the information quiet. "We will now allow the descents carry the coffin to it's proper place where it shall stay until the end of time." Mr. Garwin, Simms, and Parry began to carry it inside as Gordon lead them in the ancient prayer the covenant had used forever. Emily began to cry as she remembered her father taught it to her. She felt and hand squeeze her shoulder and Caleb grabbed her hands. Maybe Mrs. Garwin was right when she said moving back would be for the best.

"So we should probably take you to get some of your stuff and your car," Caleb told her after the funeral.

"Yea I bet lover boy over here wants to see Kelly again," Reid told them pointing at Tyler. They all laughed and drove up to the school. Emily called Kelly on the way and asked her to meet them at Emily's car with a bag of clothes. When they pulled out Emily jumped out of the car and ran towards Sarah who was kissing a boy.

"Emily," Kelly said as the girl walked passed her. She did a double take of who Sarah was kissing before jumping off the hood of Emily's car and following her.

"What the fuck Zack?" Emily asked making him push Sarah away.

"It's only because you barely with me," Zack replied. "We never talk any more."

"We never talk or I never sit around to listen to you whine about problems that aren't even important." She saw the boys stand in front of the car ready to fight if they need to. She also noticed a crowd forming around the popular couple. "How long?"

"Since school started," Sarah told Emily running her arm up and down his chest. She caught Reid's eye and gave him a flirty smile.

"I expected more from you," Kelly told her.

"We're done Zack!" Emily yelled. She now saw the entire Swim team (except Carter) was there to see the fight. "You know I was sad that I'm moving back home, but know I'm happy I won't have to hear your constant begging of sex like the pig you are." She walked away, but Zack grabbed her.

"We're not done here," he sneered in rage. Reid and Caleb pulled him off her with ease. Caleb walked ahead of Reid and Emily with Kelly. "It makes me sick at the fact that you screwed all these nice young men."

" Yea she was saving herself for a gang bang," Sarah added. Emily stopped and turned around.

"That's why your blood was found in the boy's basketball team locker room from you allowing them to screw you that hard right?" The crowd laughed knowing it was true. "That's when you were on the team, right Zack?" Emily saw one of the Deans standing there and knew the newest couple would be in detention for nothing shorter than a month. Emily hugged Kelly and took the bag from her. Emily then got in her car with Caleb in the passenger seat and Pogue in the back.

"So when did you want me to make it so Zack can't have kids?" Pogue asked as they drove back to her true life in Ipswich laughing.
