An: Oh my God, it's been taking me forever to write this. I just kind of needed a break I think. So now I'm back…

So that's it, everything everyone said to me was a lie. I have a family, or at least I think I do, I at the very least have a brother, Caleb. I guess I can see a family relationship between us. The Covenant can't be all that bad can they? Sarah talks so highly of all of them, even Reid. Spike would have warned us if they were evil or a risk wouldn't he? Hell even Angel would have at least given some clues. Sarah had Wyatt one day and said his protection shield wasn't active at all.

Could she really let people back into her life after all that happened over the past many years of Sam's life? Josh, John, Seanie, BQ, Liam, Millaine, and Egitto all got her to open up, but look what happened to two of them. Murdered. Murdered all because she couldn't save them, Sam was too late. Trying never hurt anyone though… besides herself.

Trust issues, maybe Liam was right on her having those, alright she'll attempt it… because that's just what Sam does, what she always has done.

Let's see overall assessment of people…

Caleb Danvers, seems like the leader and extremely protective of people. As far as Sam could tell he was the oldest and strongest.

Pogue Perry, second in command, keeps everyone in check. The power core of the group and one of the strongest. The major brawn of the Covenant of Silence.

Reid Garwin, the ever amazing badass, causes trouble. However there is more then meets the eye to this boy, he actually cares about people.

Tyler Simms, the sweetheart, he was amazingly sweet to me in the car and I'd bet he keeps everyone in the group together. He just seems like a giant teddy bear!

Well it could be a lot worse couldn't it? They're friendly at least, but how will I ever manage to fit in or make them close friends. I'm graduating in a week and it's off to whatever State College will feel pity for me and take me in. God I wish John and Josh were here. They always knew what to say…

"Sam?" A deep voice said behind her. She closed her eyes and sighed maybe he'd just go away if she didn't respond. "I've been looking for you. I just want to talk." Caleb said.

"I know…"Sam sighed, "It's just…"

"Sam, I know it's not going to be easy for you, but we want to help. It's never hurt anyone to try, has it? Heck you're my sister aren't you?" Caleb responded light naturedly.

"I guess so." Sam laughed, smiling brightly. "It's going to take some time though… I got a little too used to relying on myself and not other people. Ever since my parents, well the people I thought were my parents, died I've pretty much relied on myself and had everyone turning to me. It's just not normal for me… I guess you could say,"

"Hey, we got time…" Caleb said coming over to sit next to her. "And I'm sure mom will be glad to see you again." Caleb said.

Sam smiled softly, boy did she ever grow on Caleb quickly, that small, innocent smile of a scared child, "I hope so. In case you haven't notice I haven't exactly been living the life they hoped I would. This world is just so messed up, nothing is never how it seems. I can prove that better than anyone."

"Well you have some back up now… come on let's get you home before you freeze to death." Caleb replied wrapping an arm around his younger, much smaller sister.

"You've been my brother for like twenty minutes… good God… another person overly protective." Sam muttered.

"Hey I can hear you little missy." Caleb replied poking her sides. Sam giggled good naturedly. "Getting pissy at your brother already." Caleb joked shaking his head while they walked to Sam's car. The reached her car in silence hoping in and driving in silence, thoughts consuming the siblings. Finally they arrived back home.

Before they could reach the door Sam sighed. "Caleb?" she questioned quietly.

"Yeah missy?" he questioned turning to face her.

As he turned Sam wrapped her arms around his large frame. "Thank you." She whispered in his ear before kissing his cheek and rushing inside and up the stairs.

"Bitch."

"Shank."

"Whore."

"Tramp."

"Trick."

"Stripper."

"Prostitute."

"Slut."

"Ho."

You heard Sam yell at another person up stairs. "Damn it, you always win. Just once I'm gonna…I MISSED YOU SAMMIE!" yelled Faith.

"I can't believe you're here." Sam said as the hugged tightly.

"That's Faith Cal." Sarah said coming up behind him. "They always do that."

"Sarah thank you." Caleb whispered.

"For what?" Sarah questioned turning to face him as Caleb leaned down and kissed her.

"Bringing me my sister." Caleb responded while Sarah laughed, "However I may have to threaten Baby Boy over there for flirting with my baby sister."

"Oh God, Kate was right. That poor innocent little girl, be nice Cal." Sarah warned.

"Hey Sarah!" Sam called screaming loudly.

"What's up Sammy Jo?" Sarah screamed back just as loudly.

"Is this what always happens in this house?" Pogue questioned behind Caleb.

"Who knows man…" Caleb muttered back.

"I heard that!" shouted Sam quickly. "Wanna head over towards the bombs?" Sam questioned from the top of the stairs.

"HELL YES!" Sarah yelled.
