Hey guys Please review and make me happy!!

Chapter 8

I spent two hours explaining to Shane, Michael and Eve my, and the covenants power. Next I let my eyes fade to black and all the furniture in the room raise up off the ground.

"Oh my god!" Eve screamed. "You really are a witch!" I started laughing along with the rest of the covenant.

"Yeah. I figured you guys needed to know."

"So once you turn eighteen, every time you use, it takes pieces of you life?"

"The power is seductive. The more you use it the more addicted you become. Use too much and the power takes over and drains you life." Caleb said.

"Alright Clair. You need to show Caleb what you found." Tyler said.

I watched Shane get up and leave the room. I heard him clopping on the steps. Then I heard his bedroom door slam shut. I felt tears prickling at my eyes.

"He'll come around." Michael said quietly. I held back my tears and pulled out the book of Damnation.

"I think the vamps know who I am. That's one of the reason's Oliver protected me against Brandon." I flipped the book to the page that held the vamps pictures. "This one here I know is Oliver. I assume this one is Amelia, but I don't know this one." I looked up at Caleb.

"I don't know. Dad told us about them when we were little. I don't remember much about it."

"Great. I guess if we find out their motive, then we can fix the problem they have with me.

"The book." Eve said.

"What?" I questioned.

"They want a book. It has this symbol on the front cover." She pulled back the sleeve of her shirt.

"Shit." I pulled out my cell phone. But Caleb grabbed it.

"Clair what are you doing?"

"What do you think I'm doing Caleb. They want the book. You seen what was on her arm. They will kill me to get to it. Amelia is the only one who can help."

"Wait you know the founder?" Michael asked.

"You know where the book is?" Eve asked.

"I don't know her personally. She helped our ancestors out during the witch trials. That's when the Covenant of Silence was created." I went to my room and grabbed my photo album then came back down stairs. I flipped to the picture that I wanted. "Here. This is Samuel Danvers. One of the first of the Covenant. In the picture with him is-"

"Amelia." Michael said.

"Right. They made a deal. Apparently this book is something of importance. Amelia asked the covenant to protect the book. In return we would be protected against the vamps and she would help us hide from the humans. We've had it since then." I picked up my cell again and dialed Amelia's number. It went to voice mail. "Amelia, it's Clair Danvers of the Covenant. I'm here in Morganville and need to speak with you." I hung up and looked at the group in front of me. I realized Shane was still missing and knew I needed to go and talk to him.

I excused myself and headed up stairs. I knocked on Shane's door, but didn't receive an answer, so I pushed it open. He was laying in the dark.

"Shane can we talk?"

"What about?" Came his rough response.

"Well, I kind of dropped a big bomb shell on you tonight. You didn't seem like you took it too well. I figured talking about it would help some."

"It's just a lot to take in Claire. I mean this power can kill you."

"I just have to watch how I use. I've seen what the power does. My dad was 44 when he died, but he looked like her over 100. I know first hand what using does."

"I guess I'm just scared."

"Hey, there is nothing to worry about. I know what I'm up against. I like my life too much to waste it on some stupid powers, and so do the guys. Well Reid's an exception. We all worry about him sometimes. I used to be there to keep him in check. I'm like the only one he will actually listen to. Ty tries but mostly fails. Reid and Caleb usually argue a lot. Ever since the incident with Chase, Reid has calmed down some. I guess he seen what Chase had become and wanted nothing like that to happen to him."

"So this Chase guy, he dangerous?"

"Yeah. Last time he put Kate under a spell. Creation. It's like she was bitten by thousands of spiders. She was in the hospital for a while. He also put Pogue in the hospital. Made him wreck his bike."

"You said he also put you in the hospital. What did he do to you?"

"Well on the day Caleb ascended we went to the old Putman barn. Chase was there. We pretty much was a war. I got the worse end of the battle. I was knocked unconscious. I was out for three days. Caleb said that dad willed him his powers and he thought he killed Chase. Apparently he didn't and now he's after me cause I ascend this Thursday."

"Your birthday."

"Yep. Well it's getting late, so I'm just going to go to bed. I'll talk to you tomorrow after school."

"Clair your not going to school."

"Shane don't worry. My brother wont let me go by myself, but I cant miss anymore. I'll be fine. Go to sleep. I see you tomorrow. Goodnight."

"Nite."
