Disclaimer: I do not own the Covenant, or any of the charactors.
Pairings: Tyler X Reid, Tyler X Aaron, some Pogue X Caleb.
Summary: Aaron discovers more about the Covenant's powers. Tyler finds out the hard way about the rules of the Covenant.
Okay, so I decided to give each charactor a special ability, after reading Twilight. If you haven't read that book, then you should go read it. (I also sadly do not own Twilight.) Just a heads up of things to come. And for those of you following this story, I'm sorry for not updating, but my internet works off and on, and wouldn't work long enough for me to upload this fic. I had it written and everything too! Anywho, Thanks for reading, and reviewing if you did, I really do appreciate it!! Enjoy!
"What happened back there Tyler?" Pogue tried gently.
Tyler exhaled softly as he ran a shaky hand through his hair. "I-I don't know! I was just really nervous and then the room started to spin and I-I just don't know what happened…" Tyler paused and took a deep breath. "I'm really sorry guys, I don't even remember using, I just opened my eyes and Nickey's was trashed."
"Don't worry about it Tyler." Caleb draped his arm over Tylers shoulder. "I don't know what happened, but it might be because you're ascending soon."
"But that didn't happen to me or Pogue when we were about to ascend, or even you Caleb." Reid added.
"Ascending is different for each member of the Covenant. It's a time when every member gains more power, but in the process slightly differentiates themselves from the other members by gaining an ability that is unique to them only." Caleb explained.
"Like my ability to heal wounds and speed up the healing process." Pogue added thoughtfully. "Or Calebs ability to see into the future." Pogue smiled and Caleb nodded.
Their abilities really did suit them nicely. Caleb was the leader, always looking out for the others and trying to keep them from danger. He had always told Reid countless times to stop using so carelessly. Caleb hadn't started seeing little clips of misfortunes or danger until a month after he ascended, but they would come in various forms. Sometimes Calebs would have dreams, and sometimes he would have visions, like a movie playing itself in his mind. There were many times when his gift came in handy to keep his brothers, specifically Reid, out of trouble. Whether it be simply warning the brothers to stay away from a party that the cops would soon bust, or stay off the street because an accident would soon occur.
Pogue started noticing his gift about two weeks before his eighteenth birthday party. He had accidently cut himself while shaving in the morning, and one moment it was dripping blood, and after Pogue had brushed his fingers across it, it was gone completely. He had tested out his little ability a few more times with various injuries that his brothers somehow sustained. Usually nothing too serious, a cut up knee from when Tyler tripped down the stairs, a black eye from when Reid got in a fight, and Calebs sore back from swimming too much. All in all, Pogue was very pleased with his abilities. Although Caleb had warned him that just because he could instantly healed himself didn't mean he could be careless. Caleb was talking about Pogues bike, since he had gotten in the habit of riding without a helmet ever since he discovered his gift.
"This is totally not fair." Reid crossed his arms over his chest and huffed. He had still not received his gift, and he had ascended well over a month ago. Reid plopped himself down on his bed. "Tyler is NOT allowed to get any weird ass special ability before I do!"
"You know Reid; some members of the covenant don't ever get special abilities, like my dad." Pogue pointed out as he sat down next to Reid.
"I'd better get some cool ability! It would totally suck balls if I didn't! Seriously guys!" Reid complained. Every day he had hoped that maybe his special ability would take effect, but everyday he had been disappointed.
"But what do you guys think Baby Boys ability could be?" Caleb pondered. "Using without meaning too? That hardly seems a positive ability…"
"Yeah, that could definitely cause trouble." Pogue said.
"Well what do you remember Tyler?" Caleb asked as he and Tyler sat down on Tylers bed, now facing Pogue and Reid.
"I remember being really nervous around Aaron," Tyler started, but was interrupted by a low growling noise escaping from Reids throat. "And then I was really on edge and confused when Reid and Aaron started to fight…. Then I remember getting just really mad all of a sudden. It was really weird. Then I guess I used without even meaning too. When I opened my eyes I felt normal again."
"That's… Strange." Pogue said.
"Hmmm…That's not exactly enough to go by to know exactly what your ability will be, but I'm guessing that it might have something to do with feelings and emotions. We'll have to wait to see exactly how your ability takes root though."
"This is fucking ridiculous! He's Baby Boy! He's the youngest, he's not supposed to get a gift before me! Hell, he's not even supposed to get a gift if I don't get one, it's basic principle!" Reid protested.
"I'm going to tell you one last time Reid." Caleb began, index finger and thumb pinching the bridge of his nose in an attempt to calm his reeling head. He could definitely feel a headache coming on. "We are each given gifts that can be used to aid our brothers in the covenant. If there is no need to aid your brothers that your mind subconsciously projects, then you don't receive any special ability. It's simple."
"Yeah, you're just too thick headed to pick up on any needs that we might have, therefore, no gift for you!" Pogue teased.
Reid smirked evilly and got up to sit next to Tyler. "That's not true, I fulfill a lot of needs, don't I Baby Boy."
Tyler blushed. "Alright, that's our mark to leave." Pogue said as he got up from the bed he was sitting on and headed for the door, Caleb followed after him.
"Just don't stress out too much about tonight, okay Tyler? Nobody saw you, and I'm betting it will just be written off as a natural disaster or something." Caleb said before he disappeared behind the door and down the hallway.
"So did you hear about what happened at Nickey's last night?"
"No, what happened, I missed it!"
"There was an earthquake or something! It was so weird!"
"No way! That's crazy!"
Tyler listened in to the two girl's conversation. He breathed a sigh of relief. There was no questioning going on, people were just writing it of to a natural freak occurrence, just like Caleb said they would.
Tyler picked up his pace, he was always late to History, and he nearly had to run to make it on time. He was running up the steps to the building when he felt somebody grab at his collar from behind, pulling him backwards and to a halt.
"Whoa there Tyty, slow down." Tyler groaned. What did he do to deserve this? Why did the world feel the need to punish him by making him interact with Aaron two days in a row?!"
"I'm late for class!" Tyler snapped as he shook Aarons hand from off of him.
"Class can wait a few more minutes; we never did get to finish our talk." Tyler shuddered, which only made Aaron smirk. "Although, I'd much more rather talk about what happened after our talk."
Tyler tensed. "Wh-what do you mean?"
"You've probably heard this already, but people are saying that it was a freak accident. They're blaming it on a small earthquake."
"Yeah, so?"
"So that's bullshit."
"Why do you say that?" Tyler was now starting to get a little nervous.
"Because I've been in earthquakes before, and let me tell you, that was not an earthquake." Aaron closed his eyes and smiled. "It was weird, it was like the whole room was filled with this insane energy, and the room just couldn't handle it. I've never felt that before, but it was amazing." Aaron opened his eyes again and stared at Tyler.
"Why are you telling me this Aaron?" Tyler asked.
"Because, Baby Boy," Aaron smirked as he took a step forward towards Tyler. "Once everything was over I happened to see you. Well, your eyes to be specific. I've seen dark colored eyes, but I've never seen eyes quite that black"
Aaron stepped forward a few more times. For every step that Aaron took, Tyler retreated a few steps, until Aaron had Tyler efficiently backed up against the wall. "I don't know what you are, but I know that you had something to do with last night." Aaron whispered into Tylers ear.
Tyler stiffened. "N-no, I didn't!" Tyler nervously protested.
"Yes you did." Aaron chuckled quietly. "It's okay though, I won't tell anybody." Aaron tounge wipped out at Tyler's ear.
Tyler shivered. "S-stop it Aaron!" Tyler quietly demanded, trying to sound as courageous as he could, although his stuttering gave him away.
"Why should I?" Aaron whispered huskily. Tyler gasped as he felt Aaron nibble gently on his ear. "I bet you let Reid do this to you all the time, don't you?"
"I'm warning you Aaron, leave me alone!" Tyler threatened nervously.
Aaron chuckled. "Or what?" Aaron asked curiously. "You'll do what you did last night?" Aaron stopped nibbling on Tyler's ear and moved down his neck to his collar bone. "Go ahead. I'm actually excited for another show."
It wasn't until Aarons hand slowly made it's way down Tyler's chest and across his hips and found their way to his pants that Tyler really got nervous. Tyler's eyes widened as he felt Aarons hands attempt to open his zipper. Panic filled him and he shoved Aaron off of him.
"Get off of me Aaron!"
Aaron quickly shook his head and slammed Tyler up against the wall. Aaron grabbed both of Tyler's small wrists within his own and pushed his hip into Tyler's stomach, determined to keep the smaller boy in place.
"Make me." Tyler started to squirm when he felt Aaron's hungry eyes look him over.
"I said get off of me!" Tyler yelled, thrashing his body around, trying to get out of the larger boy's grasps. "Help me! Somebody help!" Tyler yelled loudly, pleading for anybody to hear his cries for help and come to his aid.
But Tyler's cries for help were silenced by Aaron's lips forcing themselves upon his own. Tyler closed his eyes as Aaron's tounge found it's way into his mouth.
When Tyler opened his eyes Aaron was soaring through the air ten feet away. Aaron landed on the cement in a heap. "I said to fucking get off of me." Tyler growled as his eyes returned to their normal color.
Tyler blinked as realization of what he had just done set in. 'shit!' He thought. "Aaron, are you alright?!" Tyler asked as he ran toward Aaron, who was crumpled up on the sidewalk.
Aaron stood up on wobbly feet and looked up at Tyler. Tyler nearly shrieked at the expression Aaron was giving him, looking at him like he had just won the lottery. "Do that again." Aaron smiled wickedly.
"I-I don't-"
"You can cut the bull shit Tyler. We both know that you're something else. Now show me what else you can do." Aaron's smile grew into something that truly terrified Tyler. At that moment Tyler knew that he had to get out of there. Tyler turned quickly on his heels, but Aaron wouldn't have any of that.
"Don't go Tyler." Aaron whispered into his ear as he wrapped his arms around Tyler's chest. "You and I can have so much fun, if you just stay here with me for a bit longer."
"I want to go. Now." Tyler whispered, feeling hot tears spring to his eyes and threaten to fall. What had he just done? He had broken one of the most important laws of the covenant. He had let an outsider find out about the secret.
"You can go, after you show me some more of those neat little abilities that you've been hiding."
Tyler shook his head furiously.
"No? You sure you don't want to show me? Alright, there's other ways to have fun too." Tyler could feel Aaron's hot breath against his cheek, and Aaron's warm hands rubbing against his stomach.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" Both boy's heads quickly turned in the direction of the boy sprinting towards them.
Aaron tightened his hold around Tyler. "This doesn't concern you Danvers." Aaron spat.
"The hell it doesn't! Let Tyler go you bastard!" Caleb yelled as he stopped right in front of the pair.
"What if I don't want to? What are you going to do to me? Send me flying across the street, like Tyler here did?" Aaron chuckled.
Caleb's face was drained of all color. "What?"
"You heard me. I know what Tyler is, or at least what he can do. I wonder, are you anything like your friend over here?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Caleb said, keeping his expression completely stoic.
Aaron let go of Tyler and released a cold, heartless chuckle. "Really now? Because I think that you do." Aaron took a few long strides toward Caleb and grabbed him by his collar, and slightly lifting him up. "I still don't know exactly what you are, but I know what you're not, and you are definitely not human."
"I don't really give a fuck what you think, Aaron." Caleb spat as he shot a punch at Aarons face, effectively causing Aaron to let go of Caleb's collar and stumble backwards.
Caleb looked over at Tyler, who looked like he was scared shitless. "We're going Tyler. Now." Tyler nodded shakily and took one last look at Aaron.
Aaron was on the ground cupping his bloody nose in his hands. Aaron and Tyler made eye contact, and Aaron smiled at him cruelly. "Go ahead Tyler, follow your master. And don't worry, we'll finish our talk later. I'll make sure of it."
Tyler and Caleb turned to walk away, but not before Aaron called out after them, "Just remembers Tyler, your friends won't always be there to protect you!"
Tyler gulped and walked faster, taking long strides to keep up with Caleb. That little 'talk' with Aaron had seriously spooked him. After walking a block or two Tyler worked up the courage to speak. "Where are we going?"
"Back to the dorms." Calebs voice was cold and expressionless.
'I am in such deep shit…' Tyler thought to himself.
And the plot thickens! Next chapter will deffinately be more of Tyler and Aaron, I don't know why, but I love stories that center around Tyler, and they're even better when he's distressed. I'm sadistic, I know. Next chapter there might be some protective Reid and Tyler fluff, we'll see!! I haven't even written the next chapter, so I'll have to wait for some inspiration to strike! Thanks for reading, reviewings good too!
