"Damn it!"
A chair went flying across the room, smashing into an antique clock. A rosewood dining table lifted off the ground and wobbled in the air. It went flying and smashed opposite the chair. The table broke, chips of plaster fell from the wall.
Chase screamed out in frustration. He had let the legacy of the Covenant slip through his grasp, again. He deserved his vengeance . . . justice for what the Covenant did to his family.
Disgraced. Destroyed. Erased. Forgotten.
It was his right. Noone deserved that fate. Especially himself. Why did he have to pay for something one ancestor did a lifetime ago? He shouldn't have had to grow up alone, not knowing what was happening to him. Chase blamed them for his addiction. The Covenant could have taught him . . . no, his entire family going back generations, that Using was so addictive and came with drastic consequences.
Chase knew that he could've been saved. If Caleb and Pogue were able to figure out that the bastard son of Goodwin Pope was a Putnam, then so could their ancestors. But no, they chose to ignore it, to abandon his family.
Well, each decision has its consequences. Chase liked to think of it as karma. Everything comes back ten fold. He would make sure of it. Sending another piece of furniture across the room, Chase bared his teeth like a dog defending its territory as he sent another piece of furniture flying across the room.
"I have become death, destroyer of worlds."
It was Chase's favourite quote. However, it reminded him of his sister. The events of the past few days ran through his mind. He had killed her. The one person who loved him and understood him . . . and he killed her. Even though she was still alive through some miracle, he could not get back what he lost with her death . . . his innocence.
He had killed his own twin. Killing the others would be justified, but her? "I'm a monster," he whispered as he kicked a stray piece of chair.
Chase started to break down. The only other time he had even come close to breaking down was that night in Sara's bathroom with Caleb. This was different. Faye was innocent. It did not matter that she was protecting the Sons of Ipswich. That was who Faye was and what he loved about her. Always defending people, even when they did not deserve it.
She had accused him of doing the same thing he blamed the Covenant for doing, but she was wrong. He was not judging them based on the actions of their ancestors. The Sons were just as guilty. Chase did not care what Faye said on the matter. He did not have to justify himself to anyone. But he should not have killed her for it.
Chase felt a single tear roll down his cheek but did not bother to wipe it away. He was alone . . . truly alone. Sitting down on the only remaining chair, Chase clutched his knees to his chest, letting his feet rest on the edge of the seat. As he hugged his knees, he let all the tears go that he had been keeping pent up for so long.
"I'm sorry, Hellion."

A/N: As you can probably tell, this is Chase's point of view. Also, some of you may think that he is out of character but we never really saw Chase without the others or the 'real' him. I thought it would be good to show that he isn't a truly bad guy... makes it even better or worse when he does something evil. I also know that this is really short but I have a lot of exams right now and a big essay... but I felt I needed to give you something. Sorry.
On to the reviews:
prettybeka: Thank you! I'm not sure it's the best but I love the compliment. Keep reading to see who Faye ends up with. There will be times when it leans towards Reid and times it leans towards Tyler. What fun would it be to have characters hooked up right away? Oh, there might just be a beating.
ReidGarwin: Oh, you should enjoy some of my plans for Reid.
Skye Mercer: Glad to see you liked the chapter... and sorry for the heart attack. Lol. Also glad to see you are still faithful. I've lost some of my regulars though. Sad for me. Oh well, what can a girl do.
HopelessRomantic44: I've decided that no matter who Faye chooses (characters really do have a mind of their own... it's kinda creepy), the other will end up with someone of their own.
Soleil Mar: So glad you read on! The dance would have been fun to see. For me, yoyoin' is a good thing. It keeps people on their toes and guessing. Plus, it makes for a more interesting story. Adds some angst and conflict. Kinda. Again, glad you continued reading.
Mighty Kajtek: Boys just wouldn't be any fun if they weren't boys. Glad it is a good killing. In the next chapter, I hope, you will see a deeper side of Faye. It was actually suppose to be this chapter but I was stuck and I couldn't get this Chase thing out of my head.
Draco's Secret Lover: Yeah! More regulars! A little more prodding? Maybe. I figured Tyler valued their strong, not to mention long, friendship. Meh, whatever works. I thought it would be good to stick with the bets from the movie... it seemed to me that they always make the same bets. I do not have dial-up so I'm good. And it is okay to be in love with a piece of fiction. Look at the Covenant for example. As I said above, I thought you guys deserved an update, instead of another almost three month wait.
xBrokenDreamerx: I'm glad a few of you liked the deleted scene. I was going to use it but it ended up not fitting in so I wanted to put it in. I may be doing it again... actually, anyone who has written an outline before the story will know that there are times when things don't end up in the finished copy. Oh, the panties is only the beginning... knowing Tyler, he will probably try to court her (the old fashioned, romantic way) and Reid will try to seduce her in some way. I pray for a sequel as well. It would be great... and maybe if they went a little more in-depth.
Philyra: Yes, you were definitely right! Unfortunately, the explanations will have to wait until the next chapter. So you think she's better for Tyler, huh? Wonder why... lol.
Kelsey: Nice to know it isn't 'teeny-bopper-ish'. I hope to keep it that way but I'm not a hundred percent sure what makes a story 'teeny-bopper-ish'. Well, wish me luck!
ChelsieMarie: Good to know that I'm keeping to Reid and Tyler's characters. And thank you!
Ebony Cassandra selene Riddle: I'll try!I'll try!I'll try! Lol. Glad to know you love it.
