Disclaimer - Não o possuo. I've been away on Vacations for three weeks … I had fun and typed some, so here is a chapter. Again … I don't own any officially creative stuff, just my mind numbing imaginations.

Who's Going To Tell Her

-- Covenant --

"You guys have become close. Destiny has taken control now."

Reid was a bit confused. "Mom?"

"Oh. Never mind that now. What news do you guys have?"

"It's about Victoria."

"What happened? She seemed fine."

"She is. She's amazing and we couldn't be happier it's just … she seems to be far more sensitive to us then anyone has ever been."

"Sensitive how?"

"She's able to sense when out power is used. She's been close twice and both times she has reacted. She told Tyler that it felt like cold water ha touched her. She was talking about his power. A normal person shouldn't be able to feel those things."

"You know … she sometimes seems to be able to know what or how we were feeling. Like she was picking on my empathic stuff."

"Yeah. That's what makes her my sister. She can always tell what I want or feel … hell she now helps me stand you guys for more than 10 seconds." The ladies laugh while a soft "Tyler" escapes Mrs. S.

"Well? Are you going to say something? We love her but we need to understand how she can do this."

The ladies look at each other and with a nod from Mrs. Garwin, they turn to the boys again.

"Tyler, get me that blue book on the top shelf please."

Once the book is down and placed on the coffee table, Pogue and Tyler's brow creased in confusion. With that a giggle escaped Mrs. S.

"You've seen this book before … don't look so baffled that a book has your answers."

"That's not it."

"I've seen it recently."

"Hmm … where?"

"Here" Tyler answered in a cautious voice. He slid a glance at the other guys to make sure he wasn't alone on that particular thought.

Pogue spoke up next. He nodded his head slowly, to convey his confusion. "Yeah. At home."

"Every family has one. Created by Anali Danku sometime in the 17th century. Meaning she was here for the trials. In fact, the most amazing thing about this book is the fact that Ana wrote it after she died. (Stunned silence) It tells of the legacy of women - strong willed, powerful, yet lost. They come from a far off land with secrets as shields. One such girl lands here and finds herself a home and a love."

"A love story? What does that have to do with anything?"

A gentle whisper flowed through the room. Just the hushed sound, with an answer. "Everything."

"Be quiet and listen up. This won't be repeated."

"Her power was great but it could also be hidden easily from prying eyes. Unlike yours. After the mutual power was discovered, a bond was formed between Ana and the Covenant. With the trials many innocent people died … Ana was one of the few witches killed. She swore she would come back to her love. Who? We don't know - but there are superstitions."

"The reason we say this is because throughout the years there have been signs of Ana's descendant coming back to Ipswich. We'll tell you more farther down the road, but now comes the real information. Since Chase's death, the 5th blood line has been 'open' in a sense. It can be filled in, if you want it to be."

"By who?"

With a peaceful smile and a twinkle in her eyes Mrs. C. answered them.

"Victoria."

Shock and doubt; curiosity and disbelief crossed the boys minds at that simple word. Victoria. Victoria could somehow take Chase's place in the Covenant of Silence. 'How?' The only reason being that she, herself, was a descendant of Anali Danku. But the Sons didn't know that.

Tyler couldn't stand the momentary silence that descended on the people around him. He had questions, he knew everyone else had questions but he had more pressing matters. "How? How can she fill in that spot? She doesn't have power … nothing joins us."

"That is where you are wrong. You have a bond like no other. A natural bond that drew you to her and moved you to challenge us and ultimately help her."

At that point, Reid was so confused and an intense feeling was rising within him. He knew he had to say something before what was inside exploded out of him in the worst way. Ways they had all witness him already do. "Is that the reason we've been going to Warren all these years? Is that part of that book?"

"Yes. We knew she would meet you in Warren if given the chance."

Mrs. P. graced the group with a rare blush that crossed her cheeks. She bent her head with the knowledge that she had been a part of the whole thing. "We just made it easier for you."

"How can something like that be done? She doesn't have power … we could just scare her away." A dubious look crossed their faces but the hope in their eyes wasn't hidden from 'the moms'.

"There is a spell, to be cast on all Hollows Eve. The four elements surround the pure spirit - the spell releases your residual powers and brings those into Tori. She won't be as strong as she could have been if she were a direct descendant or if she had prior guidance but she will be in every way part of this family."

"If you decide to accept her into the Covenant."

The guys had been silent and unmoved for several minutes. They knew she would have to know about the Covenant sooner or later but they had never thought she could be a part of it all. One of the family in every way possible. Tyler was the first to make his mind up. He already knew she had greatness in her, this was just a way to show her how much more they needed her. "How 'bout it boys?" Pogue had an answer almost immediately "I don't care if she's been my sister for a month or my entire life. I want to share all my secrets with her - so yeah."

They looked onto the other two for their input on the situation. "She might be a pain but if anyone had to be placed, I'd choose her." The guys looked at Reid with a slight smile but none the less they knew he was sincere in his feelings - even if saying the word would freak Reid into the next century.

"So? Who's going to tell her magic is real and she's been living with a bunch of warlocks? Because I've taken all the hits I can from her."

"Does this mean you agree with your brothers?"

"Yes."

"Good."
