I don't own the Covenant

John and Cassie surfaced from Caleb's memories. Though it had felt like hours, it had only been a few seconds.

John turned his head to the side and spit. "Warlocks, bloody Warlocks."

Cassie shook her head. "That must be how Sebastian is able to dream walk."

John stepped back from Caleb, putting himself between Cassie and the Sons.

"Get out," he told the four boys.

Reid stood straight, an angry look on his face. "Like hell I will. My girlfriend just got hurt, in her dreams no less. There is no way I'm leaving."

John's face grew livid and the room grew colder.

Cassie placed her hand on John's shoulder. "Stop John. We can use their help. They obviously are a part of this too. Neither of us are strong enough to defeat both this Chase and Sebastian by ourselves. But together we stand a chance."

John sighed and the temperature in the room returned to normal. "Fine."

"Excuse me," Tyler interrupted, "but what the hell are you talking about?"

Cassie ushered everyone into her room. "Find a seat," she told everyone, "the story is a doozy."

Pogue went to sit down on the end of the bed when Sanzi piped up. "Oi, don't you be settin' your bum on me."

Pogue sprang up and about three feet away. Both Cassie and John laughed.

Pogue looked indignant and asked "What the hell was that?"

Cassie, still giggling, picked up the blanket on which Sanzi was located. "That was Sanzi." Cassie unfolded the blanket and presented Sanzi. "This is Sanzi, former dragon hunter."

"Why would he want to hunt his own kind?" Tyler asked.

"They ain't me kind," Sanzi spoke. "I was cursed to wear their form until they flourish again."

"Guess you're screwed," Reid said.

Sanzi laughed. "That I be, that I be indeed."

Once everyone had settled, Cassie began. "The first thing you boys should know is that John and I are hunters."

"Hunter of what?" Caleb asked.

"The supernatural, the evil kind." John answered. "We hunt the things that go bump in the night."

"And it appears that a demon has chosen Ipswich as its playground." Cassie stated.

"That really doesn't surprise me as this is the home of the Covenant of Silence." John spoke.

Caleb's face darkened but he tried to look clueless. "The what?" he asked.

John shook his head. "Don't try to play stupid. We know that you four make up the Covenant and that Chase bloke is from the exiled family."

"How the hell do you know that?" Pogue demanded.

"We lived in Ipswich, England, we heard the stories, we put together the facts. The giveaway though, was your surnames and the fact that you are like brothers." John informed them.

Reid smiled. "I knew you were smart." He hugged Cassie.

"But what does this demon have to do with us?" Tyler asked.

"Chase and the demon struck a deal," Caleb said, much to everyone's surprise.

"How do you figure that?" Tyler asked.

"Well, Chase disappeared in that big ball of fire and nothing was found. Now these two show up chasing a demon and Chase is mysteriously back. It's the only logical explanation." Caleb explained.

John smirked, "Maybe you are smarter than you look."

Cassie smacked John upside his head and spoke. "We tried to kill this demon once before, well, John tried. It didn't work." Cassie stated.

"Obviously," Tyler spoke.

Reid punched him in the arm.

John rolled his eyes. "Our best bet for beating the two is to first exorcise the demon and then strip the warlock of his powers."

Caleb was silent for a moment before he spoke up. "We can't strip Chase of his powers."

"Why not?" Cassie asked.

"Because that would kill him. Once we ascend, the Power becomes our life. To strip him of his power would strip him of his life." Caleb stated.

"Then how do we stop him once the demon is gone?" Cassie asked.

"We could bind his powers," Tyler suggested.

"That could work." Caleb mulled over the idea.

"Exorcisms and bindings are loud and messy." John stated. "Is there somewhere we could have some privacy?"

Pogue looked at Caleb, who nodded, before speaking. "We could use the colony house."

"That will work." John said.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Reid asked, rising from the bed.

"Nothing at all," Cassie said, leading the way from the room down to the cars.
