Discalimer: i still do not own The Covenant or any of the characters sobs

Elena stood proud and alive, deadly anger coursing through her veins alongside the bloodthirsty virus. She was stood in front of William and the other coven members. Tyler stood behind her.

"I want answers!" she commanded "I've been a member of this coven for almost 200 years. I think I have a right to know what is going on. Not to mention Tyler should be told since it involves him!" She pointed over to the young vampire.

"Its is non of your concern, and as for our new arrival…he should never have been made in the first place. You know how the coven feels about cross-breeding. You should have fed and left him to die. It certainly would have been kinder on him" William growled in anger before sympathy for the boy touched the elders' tone.

Elena's eyes widened "How dare you!" she growled back, her teeth extended and her eyes glowed menacingly.

"Tyler has potential! Your so afraid of change! Think of him as a hybrid, a new level of power! Lowering him to your level wont help with your insecurities!"

Williams eyes narrowed dangerously, his eyes becoming a brighter blue before he backhanded Elena across the face.

"Let me remind you, who you are talking…" He said in an angered tone before he was cut off. Out of no-where a translucent sphere struck the elder, crashing him into the wall behind.

Tyler's anger had rose from no-where and before he knew it his eyes were black with their blue iris. His powers were so intense, even he was surprised by them and he hadn't even ascended yet.

He walked up to the cowering monster on the marble floor, his chest smoked slightly with the force of magic that had hit him

"Don't touch her again! You're the filthy one here, not me and not her!"

The rest of the coven members flinched as Tyler quickly turned to pick Elena up, not saying a word.

'we have to hide some place' he thought.

Carrying her to a balcony he fell over the top and swiftly started to fly over the mansion grounds, a mixture of his covenant gift and the new vampyric ones.

William watched the rebels fly off into the night. Slowly he got up, refusing help from the others.

"What should we do?" he heard one of them ask.

"We must come up with a plan. The Lycans will attack soon and must be stopped at all costs."

"do we know what their intentions are of yet?"

"No, they've proved more intelligent than I first anticipated" William turned to his followers. "As you are aware, Marcus and Victor were slain by a traitorous vampire, whose name I have not uncovered but it wont be long before I do. I fear that we may have a similar situation here with Elena and her…thing" his face darkened. "My friends, a war is brewing and I'm afraid that fighting our kind may be in order. Elena and Tyler will not be alone in their fight against us. It wont be long before they discover the truth about the connection between us and the families.

Field after Field went by and Elena was still unconscious. Finally, Caleb's house came into view and spotting his bedroom balcony, Tyler flew in as if he had been born to fly.

Caleb had just been about to get into bed when he heard something land outside his room. In a race to cover himself he grabbed his sheets and spun around to face the intruder.

"Tyler?" being echoed in disbelief as his friend came into view.

Tyler looked briefly at Caleb before walking over to the bed and laying Elena down on Caleb's bed, not even asking him if he could do so.

He saw a trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth and a bruise on the other side of her face where she had landed. He knew Caleb was about to ask what had happened.

"William our coven leader hit her. She only wanted to know the truth. Caleb, can we hide here? Elena and I can help protect you should the coven attack but in the mean time we'll be safe."

Caleb was too tired to argue, it was late and his eyelids were suddenly too heavy despite the shock.

"Oh, ok" The eldest said with a yawn before heading out of the room. "Just don't wreck anything" was added sleepily as he couldn't be bothered to kick them out to find their own room.

Elena began to stir and slowly opened her eyes.

"What…what happened?" she sat up "Where are we?"

"William hit you…I didn't know what else to do…I…I attacked him" The teen said nervously. "We're at Caleb's house, I didn't know where else to go, I'm sorry" He seemed to not know a lot and was mainly acting on impulse.

Elena wasn't too happy with this. Hitting William would have only made matters worse but after all, they were in trouble anyway. She smiled and pulled Tyler towards her, kissing him lightly. She smiled.

"You wanted to defend me. I would have done the same. Don't worry, everything will be fine." She looked around the room then out the windows, the sky was lightening. "perhaps we should sun-proof the room."

"Yeah, that would be a good idea" replied Tyler smirking slightly.

With that he covered the balcony doors and windows until it was pitch black and settled down to sleep.
