Okay, chapter one. Sorry that it might be a bit short, I'll get better. Another thing, i'm sorry if I get any information wrong, about my own character or about the movie so please just send my a message or leave a review for me. Thanks!
I do not own anything from The Covenant, only my OC.
Chapter One: Identities
It was too cold to be walking along the coast this late at night.
My arms tingled from the chill and warm breath frosted in front of me as I continued my march through the sand. The only good thing was that I had a moment to myself, and my decision to wear boots.
I had to get into focus, had to get it into my head that I was now a teenage girl. Of course I appeared as one, youthful skin and healthy brown hair but I did not feel young. Watching the world change over many years had given me knowledge that I wish I didn't possess but God help me if my two hundred years hadn't tort me anything.
Staring up at the moon, I paused in my steps as the bright light bathed me. Each time I was able to stand, solid with flesh and alive with spirit and look up at the bright full moon I would feel the aching hold in me expand just that little bit more. A long time ago I would have been out under the light, cleansing crystals and planting seeds along with the other witches like me. The term witch was not one that I liked to brand myself with, having seen too many legends and Halloween nights that depicted witches as ugly, evil being that flew.
I rolled my eyes, something that I knew the youth practised when dubious, an exaggerated portrayal I say. Yet I had nothing to call myself, no title as to label myself as; I hardly remembered my true name. Enchantress or sorceress maybe, but my power was not an unspeakable measure. Perhaps an eclectic witch was best for me.
With a laugh, I pulled the black jacket tighter around my chest and over my hands. I hated having time to myself, I always tended to think a lot more than I ort to. Tearing myself away from the moon, I noticed the glow further up along the rocky beach and only then noticed the music pounding through the air.
'That's where we are off to.'
The voice came suddenly but the presence had not sneaked up on me as they had attempted. I frowned and looked over my shoulder to the young man who was looking ahead.
'Took your time Chase.' I muttered and began to walk again, my feet sinking into the loose sand, 'I was beginning to think you had become a coward.'
The sharp chuckle that sliced the air was brief, but I understood. This man was no coward, he was too driven, too proud.
'Do you remember everything I told you in the car?'
With a sharp nod, I brought the conversation to mind, committing to memory the five names of importance.
'Caleb Danvers, Pouge Parry, Reid Garwin and Tyler Simms,' we were at the party now, the music loud enough to drown out my thoughts and the thriving teenagers a distraction, 'and Leah Collins.'
My new name rolled off my tongue strangely but Chase just grinned as he shrugged further into his own jacket, roughing his hair.
'Good. Now just keep in mind to be a lively young woman, Leah. Don't be yourself because that is just a bore.'
I was dodging the people as we continued our slow move through the crowd, the heat of the bon fires warming my chilled skin. It was not new for him to be taking such cheap shots at me, so I let it slide and observed the young people around me.
'Of course Chase.'
He smiled at me as we stopped on a slope, gazing over the many people as we scanned for those that we were looking for. I saw them before Chase, the group of young men along with two women I did not recognise. Even from my position and the interference of electricity and other bodies, I could sense the power of the warlocks.
With a heavy sigh, I closed my eyes and saw the faces that haunted me. It was for them that I was doing this, no one else; I just wished that when the day came, they would forgive me. When I reopened my eyes, I left behind everything I was and became Leah Collins.
Following Chase, I kept close to him as we walked around, gradually getting closer to the group. People were dancing as we continued to stalk, bumping into us and offering us drinks, but I kept my eyes firmly on our targets.
This was a whole new experience for me, the atmosphere was warm and I could feel the happiness radiating from the teenagers, such freedom and fun.
Well, I was going to have fun; Chase had given me free run to do whatever I liked, as long as it kept in with his plan.
As we walked, I felt a sudden hitch in the pressure and snapped my eyes towards the four young men.
Turning my gaze quickly to Chase, I nodded. If there was ever a better time to make a good impression, this would have to be it.
The tension between the two men, one Caleb the other I did not know was going to reach its pinnacle but before Caleb could respond to the harsh shove to the chest, Chase had dived in between them, myself in front of the two others.
I barely focused on them as they spoke, my eyes locked with another's. His blue eyes were amazing and it took me a second to realise that it was Tyler Simms, the youngest of the descendants of Ipswich. They say that eyes are the window to ones soul, yet as I stared, a smile curling my lip slightly, I was unsure as to what I saw. So young, his power was still in its developing stages and those eyes…
A spike of energy penetrated my senses and I turned my attention to the second youngest, Reid Garwin. No, he was not shy about using his power compared to Tyler.
A young man beside me began to throw up, people yelling in disgust as I returned my focus to Chase who was simply staring at Caleb and then sharing a glance with the darker skinned girl. Kate I think her name was, and the blonde woman was Sarah who was grinning at Caleb.
The music ceased abruptly and for a moment I was thankful to not have to hear the awful beat any more.
'Guys, guys! Dylan just called and said he saw three cop cars heading this way on old dell road!'
Everyone stopped what they were doing to listen and before I could figure out what was happening, they all moved, running up the sand dune towards their transport.
Tyler paused, looking back over his shoulder in my direction and I smiled at him, waving ever so slightly before he was lost in the crowd of people.
I just hoped that I was doing this flirting thing right.
Chase was beside me in an instant, the flames of the bon fire lighting the features on his face as he grinned at me.
'Come on, we haven't got a lift back.'
I cringed as I followed him up the hill, remembering the young boy that had given us a lift to the party. It had not been messy, the way he had died, but I could still feel him pulling on my purple shirt before he finally stilled.
The sand beneath my boots smoothed out to shrub, the tall trees blocking the moonlight, but it was not too dark to find out way to the Ipswich sons.
'We could use a lift,' Chase spoke, moving quickly to stand behind them. They turned their heads and acknowledged us, Sarah nodding her head as Kate smiled at Chase. Caleb seemed to study Chase for longer than usual, did he sense it?
But then he held out his hand, smile on his lips.
'Hey, nice going back there. Caleb.'
Chase shook his hand quickly before I took his hand in mine, gripping firmly. The energy that radiated from this man was strong and I knew that it meant he was not far from ascension.
'Chase, and my sister Leah. I thought that he and I were about to go at it. His friend puking sure came at an opportune time.'
I couldn't help but frown at the sentence. He knew just as well as I did that it was not just fate, that Reid had used his powers, but then again, we didn't want to give ourselves away just yet. Behind me I could feel the youngest two approach but I was not suspecting the arm that slung around my shoulder.
'Didn't it though?'
Reid laughed as he leant on me, his other arm over Tyler. His playful face was close to mine as he looked at me.
'And who might you be?'
With an easy smile I spun from his grip, shaking his hand firmly.
'Leah Collins and you are…?' I raised my eye brow, "playing dumb."
Reid smiled, holding my hand tightly in his warm grip as we made our way to the cars.
'Garwin. Reid Garwin. Anything you need or want,' he said, eyes trailing up and down my body, 'just give me a yell.' With a wink he left, and I caught Tylers eyes again. He smiled, holding out his own hand and I took it gently.
'I'm Tyler.'
'Leah.'
'Come on guys, the cops will be here any minute now!'
Tearing myself away, I quickly followed Chase and the other two girls to the small light blue car. Jumping into the back beside Chase, I tried not to look at him. Failing to start the car, Sarah wound down her window, yelling out to the others that her car wouldn't start.
Responding, Reid leapt out of the car and lifted the bonnet. Within a few seconds, it was shut and I shared a glance with Chase; he had felt it too.
It seemed that we had the right covenant.
I know it wasnt very focused on my OC, more on the movie but we'll get there. I'm hoping to update when ever I get the chance, so perhaps once a week?Please review?
thanks guys,
