Pairings: Covenant/Lita
Ch.4
The drive to Caleb's house was fun. They spent the time getting to know each other and singing a few songs from the radio, but he did not share much about his family. Lita made sure to ask since his family was one of the ones she was researching earlier. He especially did not want to talk about his parents, but he did share that his mother was going to be at the house.
He did not sound happy talking about her, but not exactly angry either. She guessed the best way to put his tone was understandingly exasperated.
Tyler and Reid drove behind them the entire ride, but the best part and funniest was when they arrived at Caleb's house. It was a beautiful mansion, but Pogue was standing in the middle of the driveway holding boxes of pizzas and M&Ms. With a laugh, Lita jumped out of Caleb's car to run over and hug Pogue and placed a big kiss on his cheek.
"You're my favorite," she yelled right when the other guys were exiting the vehicles.
"Why is he your favorite? I'm better looking," Reid shouted even though Pogue looked smug.
"He brought the food, simple as that," she answered before seeing if Pogue needed help carrying the food while Caleb led them towards the front door.
"Why didn't we think of that?" Tyler muttered to Reid as the group entered Caleb's house. They had to walk by the living room quietly since Caleb's mother was passed out on the couch. Lita gave a slight flinch when she saw all the empty expensive alcohol bottles. She was cringing at the future hangover for Caleb's mother.
"So what's the plan?" she questioned taking a seat on Caleb's bed. She laughed when she bounced a bit after falling on the bed. She yelped when Tyler and Reid tried to tackle her. She rolled and even rolled off the bed. Pogue caught her before she fell onto the floor.
"Children, please," Caleb hissed rubbing the bridge of his nose.
Lita smirked before getting out of Pogue's hold and sitting on the bed near Caleb, who had sat down to rub his temples. "Does that mean I can call you daddy?" she asked sweetly tilting her head, but inside she was smirking deviously. She got the reaction she wanted when he started choking.
"Oh that was good," Tyler laughed as he and Reid slung arms around her.
"It's good to see him surprised," Pogue chuckled towards his friends and winked at their new friend or maybe more.
Lita shook her head and went to put her hand on Caleb's arm to show him she was just messing with him. However, she gasped when he looked up at her with pure black eyes like she had seen the night of the alley fight. His eyes widened in surprise as well before he looked away from her.
"No, look at me," she said turning his face towards her, but his eyes were back to normal. "They were black, your eyes were pure black, no white whatsoever. What's going on?" she questioned him but he gently took her hands off his face.
"It was just a trick of the light," Caleb said dismissing her even though the rest of the guys were tense in the room.
"Do I look stupid to you?" Lita asked standing up straight with her arms crossed under her chest and with an eyebrow raised.
All four of them remained silent.
"It was not just a trick of the light or my imagination. I saw your eyes change that color as well in the alley by the bar the other night when Reid was thrown into the air and into a bunch of glass bottles. He came back inside without a cut or scratch, and nobody ever touched him to throw him through the air. Can you explain that?" she asked staying in his face and not backing down. She wanted to know what was going on with these boys. She would not be kept in the dark if they wanted to still be friends with her.
"Oh we were just messing around, I didn't fly," Reid said trying to convince her that it was nothing strange. She just lifted an eyebrow up at him before bringing her face closer to Caleb's.
"Did you like hearing me call you daddy?" she whispered in a seductive voice and she smirked when his eyes started becoming black again. She yelped when an invisible force pushed her backwards onto the bed and Caleb was sitting there, not touching her. However, the force kept her down and his eyes were pitch black.
"Are you happy now? Are you happy you know we're not normal? We have magic, are you going to go running calling us freaks now?" Caleb asked seriously.
"Don't be silly. Of course I'm happy that we don't have secrets between each other anymore, but you're not freaks. Besides if I called you all freaks then I would be a big hypocrite if I did. I'm not really your typical high school girl," she said with a smile.
"Now quit forcing me down here unless you have something else planned," she said raising an eyebrow at him.
"I can plan something," Pogue and Reid said at the same time, but Pogue was a bit quieter about it.
"Caleb, let her up," Tyler said looking at Caleb while putting his hands under her shoulders to help her up. Caleb's eyes returned to normal and Tyler pushed her up to a sitting position.
"Thanks Tyler, so shall we eat pizza? Also, I'm going to slaughter all of you at video games," she said confidently.
"You wish," Tyler said and the two quickly rushed towards the food and the video games. Caleb, Reid, and Pogue looked at each other before giving each other a look that a meeting would need to be called. They had a certain legend they needed to talk about tomorrow or even later tonight.
Lita was correct when she said she would destroy them in video games. She was the best at Mario Kart and the Kinect games, but Reid and Pogue were the best at the first person shooter games.
Caleb had to even shove a piece of pizza in her mouth so she wouldn't shout too loud about being killed again in the game. She just happily ate the pizza and kicked Reid in the shin for killing her again when she had the pizza shoved in her mouth.
The rest of the night passed with a lot of fun between the five of them, but it was getting too late and Lita was about to pass out where she sat. "Guys, I need to get back to the dorm," she said drawing the attention away from the game and to her.
"You can stay here, Caleb won't mind," Pogue said giving her a smile before sharing another look with Caleb.
"Its fine, are you guys staying as well or going home?" Caleb asked the guys even though they all knew they'd be meeting up soon.
"We'll just head home," Reid said stretching his arms above his head. He and Tyler either winked or gave Lita a hug before leaving. She was surprised when Pogue gave her a kiss on top of her head before he too left.
"I have a spare room next door. Would you like a shirt and shorts to sleep in?" Caleb asked and she nodded.
"Thanks Caleb, I appreciate it. I know I haven't been here long but I appreciate you guys' kind of taking me into your little group here. You guys are cool, but no worries, I won't share any secrets I shouldn't," she told him before wishing him a good night.
Caleb watched her enter the spare room before he made his way out of the house. He met the others at their gathering area. The spell book sat between all of them and it began to glow as they took their seats. They watched quietly as the book flipped open to stop on a page concerning their center.
There was a legend that there would be one individual whose soul would complete the four of them so that they would not be killed early by the use of their magic. The soul from this individual would split between the four of them, and their powers would no longer draw upon their life force.
"Do you think she's it?" Reid whispered curiously as the four of them finished reading what the book said.
"There is only one way to test it," Caleb said before closing the book.
"Lita, it's time to wake up. I made breakfast and you need to get up now to be able to get to classes in time," Caleb said softly while running a hand down her arm.
She rolled around in the bed so she would be on her back looking up at him through narrowed eyes. He could tell she did not want to wake up today.
"You keep acting like that and I really will call you daddy," she told him sleepily and smirked when his eyes started to turn black.
"So what'd you make for breakfast?" she asked rolling out of the bed to stretch and wake up more.
"Caleb, are you ok?" she asked after noticing that he had been quiet too long and just standing there staring at her.
He did not say anything, but he did start to walk towards her slowly. She looked at him confused as he pulled out an old looking necklace with a clear pendant hanging from the chain.
"I'm fine, Lita, just fine. I found this the other night and I thought it would look great on you. Will you wear it for me?" he asked her even though he had already unclasped the chain.
"Sure, it's beautiful, thanks Caleb," she said softly as he put the beautiful necklace around her neck. She smiled as a strange yet good feeling washed over her. She just summed it up to being around somebody she was starting to grow close to recently.
"I'm sure it'll look better when I'm not just wearing pajamas," she said trying to break up the sweetness of the atmosphere. She liked it but she enjoyed comedy more when first getting to know somebody.
"The necklace looks fine no matter what you're wearing," he said shaking his head before grabbing her hand and leading her towards the kitchen where breakfast was waiting.
"I made French toast and I have coffee or milk for us to drink," he said after entering the kitchen with her.
"Coffee please," she cheered before hugging him to thank him for the food. She did not see it but Caleb noticed when a dark blue color flashed in the pendant when she touched him. Lita looked up when she heard a small delighted chuckle leave him.
"You might not be so happy after I've had coffee. I get really hyper," she warned him but this was already after she had taken a few sips of the coffee.
"I'll manage," he said sitting down with her to enjoy breakfast with her. The drive back to the school was interesting since she was in fact really hyper. However, Caleb's grin grew bigger every time they touched on purpose or accidentally because the blue glow would appear in the pendant again. 'The guys will be happy to hear about this,' he thought parking the car and following a skipping Lita to her dorm room.
"Caleb, I'll see you in class, I had fun yesterday and this morning was great," she told him sweetly before fighting with herself. She stopped right in front of him and gave him a kiss on the cheek before disappearing into her room to change into her uniform. 'I'll wash his clothes and give them back later today,' she thought since she had to do her own laundry as well today.
Making her way to class she accidentally ran into Chase, who glared at her before seeing who it really was. She frowned when his glare quickly turned into a fake smile. She backed away from him a bit when he tried to brush off her shoulders even though there was no dust in sight.
"Sorry about that," she said and tried to walk around him, but he took hold of her hand to stop her. She yelped when her necklace glowed a bright gold before a shock traveled through her hand into Chase's hand. He jumped back from her with a hiss.
She looked on in surprise as his eyes turned black. "Sorry, I have to go," she shouted before rushing to her first class.
She was there a few minutes before the professor was scheduled to arrive. Thankfully, all of the guys were sitting close together in the classroom. She almost laughed at the fact they left her a seat open between them, but she was too happy to see them to laugh. The incident in the hallway freaked her out too much to laugh.
"Guys, we need to talk this afternoon about something serious," she said before any of them could say a word.
"Are you all right?" Tyler questioned as he wrapped an arm around her waist, and Reid wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"That Chase guy is not good news," she whispered before hugging Tyler to try to get rid of the weird feeling. When she had seen Chase get zapped, she had felt a darkness surround her for just a second. She did not like it whatsoever, and snuggling with Tyler was helping get rid of that feeling. A warmth surrounded her when she was with the other four boys.
"Also, Caleb we need to talk about this beautiful necklace," she whispered to Caleb after remembering it glowing.
"We will, after school at my house, all of us," Caleb said and ended it by looking at all of the group.
"Great, are we having pizza again?" she asked looking up to Pogue, who smirked at her.
"We're getting it this time," Reid snapped before pulling her closer to him and away from Pogue.
"Settle down, class," the teacher yelled entering the classroom. The group separated just enough to be comfortable to write notes or just daydream during class.
The rest of the day went by normally except Lita made sure to stay far away from Chase, but it seemed like he was around almost every corner. Thankfully, she had class with all of the boys or Amber, who wanted all the details of hanging out with the sons of Ipswich. Lita and Amber spent lunch talking about how Lita wiped the floor with the guys during video games.
"I still can't believe they talk to you so much," Amber said thoughtfully before smiling at her new friend.
"I'm happy for you. Let me know if they don't treat you right," she said giving a thumb up to Lita.
"Thanks Amber, I'm kind of surprised you aren't asking me to hook you up with one of them," Lita said and laughed at the disgusted look from Amber.
"Sorry, but I don't play with boys," she said with a wink and blew a kiss at one of the girls in the corner of the lunch room.
"More boys for me than," Lita said before both of the girls erupted in giggles.
"Well time for more torture," she said dramatically before they both split ways and went to their afternoon classes. She met back up with Pogue, who had history with her.
"That Chase guy still been following you?" Pogue questioned her but he was interrupted by her scream. He yelled when she swung her bag at him, but he jumped when he saw a large spider fly off his shoulder to the ground. He watched in amazement as she ran forward and jumped on the spider many times until it did not even twitch.
"Too many spiders," Lita growled before looking ahead of her and Pogue to see Chase standing in the doorway. She glared at him and grabbed Pogue's hand.
"Watch out for him and spiders," she whispered to Pogue before they went into the classroom. However, she froze outside of the classroom and looked into the room to see Chase staring up into a corner of the room at another spider, which resembled all the other ones she killed.
'He has powers too, he's controlling the spiders, he must be,' she thought as she watched the spider start crawling down the wall towards where the boys were sitting.
"Guys, down," she yelled grabbing one of Pogue's books, which he always carried, and she threw it as hard as she could at the spider. While the students and teacher were distracted by the book and the spider, she threw an apple from her bag at Chase's face. She glared when he used his magic to destroy the apple. His glare made her smirk since now the boys had watched him destroy that apple. He had blown his cover.
Tell me what you think.
