AN: Ohkay, so. I've been gone. I know. And I'm uber uber sorry. ): A lot of stuff has happened lately.
Disclaimer: Are they seriously making a second Covenant? That'd be awesome! Oh, yeah. lmao. Nawh, still dont own em. Sorry.
I sat in the in closed space for a moment wondering why Chase hadn't found me just yet. I turned to go back out the door, when I bolt of power hit me hard, making me crash into the wall. The last thing I saw was a flash of red and white, and then nothing.
"Summer, come over here real quick!" Reid and Tyler waved their hands toward where they were. Very cheerful, I skipped over there and looked around.
"What's up?" Tyler pointed out to the lake. I stared at where he pointed for a minute, taking in all the trees and grass. I gasped loudly as the trees disappeared and the grass turned into more water. Jumping up and down and I stared at Reid and Tyler, whose eyes were as black as night. "How'd you guys do that!?" I asked in my cheerful voice.
Reid patted my head and smiled. "Don't worry Summ, you'll learn one day. I'm sure." I could hear the doubt in his voice but I thought nothing of it. "Come on, I'm sure dinner is ready." He grabbed my hand, and I grabbed Tyler's. Together we walked back to Reid's place to have dinner.
My head was killing me. I had no idea where I was. But I couldn't wake up. My eyes wouldn't open, I couldn't move, I couldn't Use. Another flash of white and red hit me, and I ended up once again in darkness.
"Caleb over here!" A tall brunette kicked a small ball towards me and I dribbled it up the soccer field, passing it to Reid as Tyler came at me, who scored. "Yes!" I jumped around, glad that we beat Tyler and Pogue. Reid came up alongside Caleb who bumped each other's fists and gave me high-fives.
Pogue and Tyler moaned at losing and walked over to us slowly. "I can't believe that we lost." Ty hit Pogue on the back and smirked as Pogue's eyes went black, knocking him down gently."
Caleb's stern voice snapped me out of it. "Guys, you shouldn't be Using in front of her." He said quietly, but not quiet enough.
I stood on my tiptoes, trying to be as tall as Caleb, and trust me. It didn't work. "What do you guys mean, Using?"
Tyler looked to Caleb, who shrugged. Reid sighed loudly while Pogue rocked back and forth on his heels. "Well, Using is this thing that we get when we turn thirteen. You don't get it though."
I tilted my head, a beat confused about what my brother was telling me.
"You're a girl, there's never been a girl that can Use. Ever." Tyler wouldn't meet my eyes and sighed. "We can all Use, except you. When we reach our 18th birthday, then we ascend. And the more we Use, the faster our life is drained from us."
I nodded, now understanding what he was saying. I can't Use, they can, they shouldn't because it would kill them. Seemed simple. "Okay, well, that doesn't seem fair."
Pogue laughed, half-amused and half-serious. "Summ, we don't choose who can Use. The first son of the five families can Use. But seeing that you were born along with Tyler, it made our families think that you might be able to Use. But so far, nothing has shown that you can."
I nodded slowly, thinking to myself. "But I'm not 13 yet. So maybe I can Use."
Reid looked at Caleb and Pogue hopefully. "Maybe she's right, you know. Tyler can't use either yet." Caleb nodded at this, looking around.
"Maybe he is right, I don't know yet. We can always talk to our fathers and theirs before them." Everyone nodded and we sat down in front of the lake, trying to not think about the whole Using issue.
I rubbed my head, not able to think right. As I opened my eyes, all I saw was blur. "Summer, you shouldn't have done that." Reid? I thought to myself. Where the hell am I? I rubbed my eyes, and the blur went away. I was sitting on a chair, my arms and legs tied to it. Come on, seriously. How many horror movies does this guy watch? I smirked at the thought.
"Summer, you stupid idiot." Caleb? Why is he calling me an idiot? I shook my head, looking around the huge room that I was in. Where was Chase and Reid. Why am I on a chair?
There was a loud laugh. "You just don't think do you Summ?" Tyler? What the hell is going on! I haven't done anything!
I tried to scream, cough, anything. Nothing happened. It was just me, a chair, and a huge ass room.
I shut my eyes tight, opening them slowly as my irises turned black. Smiling to myself, I took a deep breath, hoping this would work, and the ties around my arms and legs dropped to the floor. Shivering as a cold burst of wind hit me, I stood up and looked around, trying to get a good view of where the hell I was.
"Caleb? Tyler? Pogue? Reid?" I yelled loudly, looking around the room hoping for one of them to come out of no where. "Anyone?"
"Ah, you have woke up." I jerked around to come face to face with Chase. He smiled at me. "I see that you have very good control of your powers." His eyes flickered to the ties that were once around my arms and legs. "Well, it seems that your dear Reid hasn't shown up yet."
He walked around me and I stiffened. "Why are you doing all this Chase? Just 'cause sister was a bitch doesn't mean you have to be one too."
He stiffened and for a moment that was sadness, pain, and betrayal in his eyes all at once. "How do you know my sister?"
I sighed. "Easy, I grew up with her." The hurt and shit in his eyes dissolved instantly.
"You're lying! I killed her! I know I did! I watched her die!" He yelled at me, knocking stuff around him over. "I Used on her! I watched her die!" His voice became barely a sob and he fell to his knees.
I didn't know what to do. I hadn't killed my brother or sister. I was alone for a few years but hey, I survived. But now, Chase, the almighty I'm-Going-To-Take-Everyone's-Powers was sitting on the ground, sobbing quietly about his sister.
"Chase, you never killed her. You were blinding by your powers and you thought you did. As soon as you hit her, when she didn't get back up, you assumed that she died and you left. You never once came back or went looking for your family."
His sobs grew worse and I rubbed my head. This was hard. I mean seriously. I thought I was going to kick his ass, not try and help him not cry.
"Chase," A soft, quiet voice came from the shadows. Chase looked up, wiping his face. "Chase, you didn't kill me."
"Kayla?" Chase stumbled up, looking around the room for his "dead" sister. My eyes widened as a beautiful girl, about my age, stepped from the shadows and smiled at her brother.
"Yes Chase, it is your sister." She walked gracefully, and shit, I mean gracefully, towards her brother. She stopped a few steps away from him and held her arms open. I watched, very confused about what had just happened. I mean shit, if I had known that Kayla was going to be in Ipswich the day Reid was going to ascend, then hell. I would've invited her down to the mansion to make up with her brother.
Chase stepped towards her and hugged her tightly. Bored, I sat down and leaned back, muttering to myself when the voices hit me.
"Summer! Where are you?" Caleb's voice rang through the hallway in the other room. Stumbling up, I ran to the door and opened it, running into Caleb's arms.
He stood there for a moment, before realizing that I was there. Tyler, Pogue, Sarah were standing behind him with worried looks on their faces. That's when I realized that Reid wasn't with them, and their worried faces weren't for me. Sarah wouldn't meet my eyes, neither would Tyler. Pogue let his head hang and I could see tears falling down off his face. Looking up at Caleb I figured the worst: Reid had died.
Caleb half smiled at me. "Where've you been kiddo?"
Angry at myself, I hit him on the chest three or four times. "Where the hell is he? Is he still alive?" I was yelling through my own tears, not wanting to know the answer, good or bad.
"Summer?" A soft voice came from the door that I had just left. I turned around, my eyes black as night.
"Oh, Kayla…" My eyes went back to their normal green color and she held her hand out to me. Confused, I looked back at Caleb and took her hand. A huge burst of energy hit me and I squeezed my eyes shut. "Don't worry Summer, Reid is fine right now. But he needs you."
I kept my eyes shut, not knowing why bursts of energy was hitting me. All of the sudden they stopped and I slowly opened my eyes to find myself in Reid's dorm room. Still confused I turned to Kayla. "Why the hell are we here?"
The beautiful girl turned to look at me. "This is what happened after you left." I looked around, soon seeing that Tyler and Reid were still sitting on the bed.
Tyler looked around the room. "Shit man, where'd you think she went?"
The beautiful blonde that I was in love with so much shook his head. "Where do you think Tyler?" He hit his nightstand hard with his fist, his eyes black.
Tyler winced. "Man, calm down. I'm sure she'll be fine. She's Summer, you know."
Reid shook his head and looked around. "I'm going to find her. You stay here with the rest of them. Make sure that none of them come with me." Tyler opened his mouth to argue but Reid shut his eyes and disappeared from the room.
Kayla turned to look at me. "Reid is not yet dead," she looked at the devastated Tyler. "They need you Summer, all of them."
I nodded slowly. "So where is Reid?" I asked, getting a bit annoyed.
Kayla shrugged. "Chase did something to him, but I can feel Reid's power. He is not yet dead, but he is close."
My irises went black and I rounded on her. "Take me to him now!" I grabbed at her shoulders, only to have my hands go right through her. A ghost? Seriously?
"Whatever," I closed my eyes and concentrated on Reid. Soon, I was in another small room. Only this one had someone else in it. Reid.
