I don't own the Covenant

"Are you sure the spell will work?" Caleb asked skeptically.

Cassie raised an eyebrow. "Do you not trust my skills?" she asked.

Caleb shrugged. "Not really. I've never had to work spells before. I'm not entirely convinced that they work."

John laughed. "Cassie's the best spell caster in Europe. She's never failed."

Cassie blushed briefly, then grew serious. "Time to put all this preparation to use." Cassie intertwined the hair she had gotten from both Sarah's brush and Kate's brush. She threw the hair into the fire burning in the censor disk, and began to chant.

Fire, Water, Earth, and Air,
Send to us the Maidens fair,
Through the bond formed in hair,
Bring them here to those that care

There was a large puff of smoke. Through the smoke, the outlines of two bodies could be seen. As the smoke cleared away, the features became easier to see.

"Kate!" Pogue yelled before running to his girlfriend. They embraced tightly and Kate was crying.

Caleb was only a step behind Pogue. He pulled Sarah close and kissed her like he would never see her again. "Are you alright?" He asked, gazing into her eyes.

Sarah gave a weak smile. "Nothing time can't heal."

John broke the moment. "Fantastic. The girls are back, none worse for the wear. Sebastian is going to be hot on their arse and we need to be ready."

"You're right," Caleb agreed.

He and Pogue led Sarah and Kate over to a corner where Pogue closed them inside a circle of salt. Pogue and Caleb just managed to make it back to their assigned spots before black smoke came curling down the staircase. It coalesced into Chase but it was Sebastian who spoke.

"Aww, you ruin all my fun Cassie."

She smirked. "That's my job. To make sure pricks like you don't get off."

Sebastian growled, "You bitch." He began advancing toward Cassie. Suddenly he stopped. He tried to move forward but it was as if there was an invisible wall in his way.

"You really should make a habit of looking up," John told Sebastian.

Sebastian looked at the ceiling and swore. "Tricky little bitch."

"Watch your mouth," Reid warned him.

Sebastian scoffed. "Am I supposed to be afraid of this boy band wannabe?"

Tyler had to hold Reid back from rushing forward and sucker punching Sebastian. Caleb and Pogue were snickering.

Cassie smiled ferally. "No, you shouldn't be afraid of him, you should be afraid of me!" Cassie began chanting the exorcism.

Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica

Ergo, draco maledicte et omnis legio diabolica, adjuramus te,
cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque æternæ perditionìs venenum propinare
Vade, satana, inventor et magister omnis fallaciæ, hostis humanæ salutis,
Humiliare sub potenti manu Dei, contremisce et effuge, invocato a nobis sancto et terribili Nomini
quem inferi tremunt
Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine.

Sebastian began to scream. It was an awful sound, filled with pain, damnation, and eternal torment. "You bitch!" he managed to choke out. It looked like he was going to say something more, but the exorcism forced Sebastian from Chase's body. Black smoke poured from Chase's nose and mouth. It flattened itself against the invisible wall formed by the devil's trap. John began Chanting with Cassie.

Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica

Ergo, draco maledicte et omnis legio diabolica, adjuramus te ... cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque æternæ perditionìs venenum propinare

Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos.

The black smoke began to twist and writhe. A white fire began brning in the middle of the smoke and grew in size as John's and Cassie's voices grew in volume. As they shouted the last word, the demon exploded in a ball of white fire.

Chase was left looking around groggily. "The hell?" he asked.

Tyler quickly placed the seventh crystal, forming a cage in which Chase was now trapped.

Caleb spoke. "I didn't want this to happen Chase. We could have been brothers. We aren't slaves to the choices made by our ancestors."

Chase laughed derisively. "You're weak. I made this choice, not my father, not his father, not even John Fucking Putnum. I didn't want to be a part of your brotherhood. I work best with no rules."

"That's always been your problem Chase." Caleb told him.

"The rules are there for a reason." Tyler added.

"and if you don't follow them," Pogue continued.

"You deal with us," Reid finished.

"What are you gonna do? Kill me?" Chase asked sarcastically. "You tried that already. It didn't stick."

John spoke. "That's why we don't kill warlocks like you."

"Oh yeah?" Chase scoffed. "What are you gonna do? Send me to an addicts anynomous meeting?"

Cassie stepped forward. "We bind you."

The look of horror that crossed Chase's face was a sight to behold.

Caleb began the binding.

"I bind you Chase,

From doing harm to others,

And from doing harm to yourself."

The others joined in, repeating the binding so that it was said a total of 7 times. When they had finished, Chase was curled up on the ground, rocking back and forth.

Cassie looked at John. "If we leave him like this he'll be driven insane."

John sighed. "I know." They share a look and John nods unhappily. "tyler, I need your help. If we want Chase to stay sane, I need to adjust his memories. I can delve through them myself, but I need your power to change them."

"Let him go insane," Reid said, "he nearly drove us insane."

Cassie shook her head. "As much as I would like to leave him to rot in an asylum, part of the blame can be laid Sebastian. Demons fuck with your head when they wear you. He needs to have any memory of the Power wiped from his mind."

Tyler nodded. "What do I have to do?"

John smiled grimly. "Place your hand on Chase's head and open yourself to the flow of magic."

Tyler did as he was told and John placed his hand over Tyler's, making sure that it was in contact with Chase. A few moments later, both boys went absolutely still.

"Are they alright?" Pogue asked.

Cassie nodded. "They're fine. This task requires full concentration."

The remaining boys and Cassie sat together in silence. Twenty minutes passed in this fashion before anyone said anything.

"Well," Reid broke the silence, "I'm bored."

Cassie giggled at Reid's obvious impatience. "Calm down love," she told him, placing her hand on his arm. "This sort of thing takes some time."

Reid grumbled to himself but settled back on the ground.

Not five minutes later John and Tyler became aware of their surroundings once again.

Tyler was taking deep, shuddering breaths while John inhaled sharply only once.

"There was so much pain," Tyler spoke, looking at Caleb. "So much pain and anger. And the loneliness he felt, every minute of everyday. I don't know how he could stand it."

"Revenge." John answered. "Revenge can overpower everything."

Cassie yawned.

Reid stood up. "You boys take care of Chase, I'm gonna take Cassie back to the dorms."

Caleb nodded. "Be careful."

"Will do." Reid saluted, then picked Cassie up bridal style and carried her up the stone steps. He didn't set her down until they were standing next to her mini-cooper.

The sun was setting and the sky was filled with beautiful colors. The wind blew softly.

"Reid?" Cassie spoke softly, looking up into Reid's ice blue eyes.

"Yeah babe?" he answered just as softly, smiling down at her.

"I love you." She told him sincerely and simply.

Reid grinned. "I love you too babe. Always and forever," he told her before sweeping her away in a kiss.

The End
