Hello everyone! I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who didn't give up on me! And to everyone who added to me to their favorites! I feel good now!

First and foremost, this chapter is DEDICATED TO 16AMBER! After three years she convinced me to get off of my lazy ass and start writing again so, Thank You So Very Much My Friend! This one's for you!

Disclaimer: If I really owned The Covenant, I wouldn't still be paying off my truck, wouldn't be working in a plastics factory making airplane parts, and would be married to Taylor Kitsch. As I am still paying my truck off, working as a press operator in a plastics factory, and am not married or seeing anyone at all... I must not own The Covenant!

Hell Bent on Revenge

I don't own The Covenant… though I truly wish I did. Pogue would be all mine and there would be no sharing with anybody!

Ch 9: Prep Work

I clung to Pogue as the motorcycle wound around curves on the way to town. It occurred to me that I had never ridden with Pogue before. What a shame, this was fun. Now this could be the last time I got to do anything with Pogue. The ride was over much too quickly for me. I was ready to drive across the country with my knight and his shiny yellow Ducati, but we had arrived at the guns and knives store.

When we walked in I felt a bit uneasy. There were a bunch of really big guys with ugly tattoos standing around talking and looking at guns and big knives. The chatter stopped as they looked in our direction, as if they were trying to figure out why a little girl would be walking into such a big manly establishment. I ignored them as I walked over to the display cases. There were knives with pictures on them, knives with unique carvings, longs ones, short ones, and even some with naked women on the blade. I was about ready to give up when Pogue called me over to a display case in the middle of the room. I walked over to see what he had found. When I looked I saw the most beautiful knife I have ever laid my eyes on. It was completely made of metal. The handle was shaped like a coffin. There was a skull and crossbones on top of that. When you pushed up the skull and crossbones the coffin shaped blade came up with it. The entire knife was silver. This was it, the knife needed for tonight's ritual. We got the shopkeeper to come over and unlock the case.

"I wanna see some id before anyone goes anywhere with this baby," he said before he rang it up. Pogue showed his. "Well okay. Guess I can't refuse to let you buy it seeing as you're 18 and all," he grabbed my arm roughly as I went to pull it off of the counter. His eyes were glazed over in white. He was possessed.

"You little bitch! You think you can hurt me with that thing? You will never defeat me!" Pogue pulled me from his grasp and the man fell to the ground. We raced outside before the occupants of the store could come after us to figure out what had happened. Pogue and I raced into the nearest alley just as the men appeared outside the door. We stood there silently as they ran past us. It took me a minute to catch my breath before I realized that I was crying. Pogue pulled me in for a comforting hug.

"Shh. Baby it's okay. I'm not going to let anything happen to you. When all of this is over, you and me are going to go away this weekend," he whispered. I couldn't bring myself to tell him that there probably wouldn't be a `this weekend` for me. Instead I looked up into his beautiful brown eyes and smiled. "So where we going?" He just laughed and hugged me again. A few minutes later, when we were sure we wouldn't seen, we got back on Pogue's Ducati and headed to the Danvers Colony House.

~Ten Minutes Later~

"What took you guys so long," Tyler asked when we finally reached the basement of the colony house.

"We ran into some trouble at the store. The shop owner was possessed. He made a grab for Amber so we had to hide for a few minutes to make sure no one was following us," Pogue explained.

"So Korey knows what we're up to. I think we should call it off. We can find some other way to do this," Caleb tried to convince us.

"No Caleb. I'm not going to let him keep tormenting us like this. I am going to do everything I can to keep my family safe," I told him. With that said I set to work with memorizing the spell and placing items in the right spots. When everything was ready I turned and went up the steps to get some fresh air, secretly hoping the cold bite of the wind would freeze the tears before they fell. I was sick of crying. It seemed as if that's all I had managed to do for the last twenty four hours.

"You know, avoiding the subject doesn't make it go away Baby Girl. We both know what could happen tonight. And you know that the boys and I won't let that happen," I heard Reid say from behind me.

"I know I can't stop you from helping, but I really wish you wouldn't. I don't want any of you to overuse your Power. I don't want to be the reason that any of you become addicted," I told him.

"Baby when was the last time any of us actually listened to you," Pogue's asked as he came up the steps.

"You weren't supposed to know. I didn't want you to worry about this," I said to him shyly.

"I him," Caleb's voice came from behind Pogue.

"He figured he deserved to know that his girlfriend was on a suicide mission," Tyler's voice sounded from the stairs.

"Damn you Caleb Danvers," I yelled. Then I couldn't help but smile. Here I was willing to risk my life to protect my family. Though I'm not sure why, not once did I ever stop to consider that they may be willing to do the same for me.

"Alright boys. Let's get this done."
