Disclaimer: I do not own the Covenant. I own Rachel, Evan, Brooke, Alice, and the Storyline. But that's it.
Evan
"I won't do it, Brooke." I said, crossing my arms. We were in my room, getting ready for school the next day.
"Evan, please. She's a student aide in your class. The only time she's alone ALL DAY LONG." She said, walking out of my bathroom in her uniform , Darcy still asleep in their room.
"Brooke, it's stupid and I'm not doing it." I said, crossing my arms.
"But you know that your dad will be mad. We have to follow orders." She said, checking her make-up. Yes, my father was our boss. He was center of all evil; the king, if you will. And I was the prince. Brooke and Darcy were only my cousins, but they were both princesses in their own right. "Come on, Evan, what's the big deal? What's one more 'poor unfortunate soul'? We've taken out plenty over the years. What's the difference?" She asked, standing in front of me, putting her hands on my shoulders. "You're a succubus. You tempt mortal and witch women all the time." Yes, that was my power… my 'charm' I guess you could say. Just like Brooke was a telepath and Darcy was a shape shifter. Darcy was a half-demon, though. Her father was a demon, my uncle. But her mother was a witch. "What's wrong, Evan? You've never been stopped before. Why should now be any different?"
"It's just… Brooke, we're not just messing with mortal love here, and especially not just lust. Reid and Alice… their love is bigger; that of an immortal love. Their love is real, true, and deep. Tied into the Cosmos." I explained as she walked across the room, and I watched as she fixed her hair as she stared her reflection in the mirror. "Brooke, it just doesn't feel right."
"I see… Evan, look, don't think of it like that." She said, turning away from the mirror looking at me. "Think of it like a task."
"I do, Brooke, it's just… I can't help worrying. I mean, what would you do if someone did this to you and Darren?" Darren was a demon teleporter whom Brooke was betrothed to. And she loved him more than anything else in the world… even herself. And lemme tell ya, that was a feat that I never thought would happen.
"I'd castrate the sorry bastard." She said darkly, but then smiled, her face brightening as she continued. "But Evan, that would never happen. Besides, this isn't about me and Darren. This is about them and you doing your part, mmkay?"
"Alright, fine." I sighed, caving. "You win. I'll do it."
She smiled victoriously, saying, "Good boy." As she walked past me, patting me on the head in a patronizing manner, grabbing her bag off of my bed, snapping her fingers, disappearing in a puff of smoke, most likely shimmering to her own dorm to wake up Rachel.
Alice
I woke up to my alarm clock going off noisily, turning to hit it. I felt around on my bedside table without opening eyes or moving from my bed, trying to find the infernal thing. When I did, I curled my hand into a fist and hit the sleep button on top of the clock as hard as possible.
Yes, today was my first day back to school. There had been a week off for some reason (why, I have no idea though), and today was the first day of the second quarter. No, I didn't want to miss my first day, but ugh, it was SOOOO freaking early!!!
I groaned, rolling over, screaming as I fell, face first, off the bed and onto the floor. I tried to get up, but fell again; me being tangled in the sheets. I groaned to myself, thinking 'Joy. What a great way to start my day. Un-freaking-believable.'
An hour or so later, Caleb finally pulled up, parking, and I was slipping out of the passenger seat, throwing my dark blue messenger bag over my shoulder. I wore the school uniform, my hair pulled back by a white headband. Pogue had been waiting for us by his motorcycle, and jogged over to us.
"Hey man." He said to my brother, doing their normal handshake.
"Sup dude?"
"Nothing. Hello Alice." Pogue said, directing my attention to her.
"Morning Pogue." I said, smiling, giving him a kiss on the cheek like always.
We all then talked and laughed together as we headed to our classroom. We walked into the classroom, climbing up the rows of our first class; American Literature. Yes, I had class with them. Apparently, I was learning at a high level. Or something like that.
Pogue and Caleb kept going up the steps until they were sitting in the seats that I'm guessing they normally sat in. Instead of following them, I moved to where Reid sat, a few rows ahead of them, sliding down next to him. He looked up at me and smile. "Hey there." He said, kissing me on the cheek.
"Reid …" I cautioned him, looking back to see that Pogue and Caleb hadn't seen this, but also knowing that I was damn lucky that they hadn't.
"What?" He said innocently. Ha. Innocent. That faker.
"If you aren't more careful, Caleb will find out. Then, we're both screwed, and you'll be mince meat!" I said to him sharply, under my breath.
"You're being paranoid." He told me, tapping me lightly on the tip of my nose with his pointer finger, as he smirked wickedly at me. "And besides, we'll have to tell him eventually."
"Yes, eventually. As in later rather than sooner. Then, at least, he might have time to adjust, and then he won't feel compelled to turn you into road kill!" I told him, putting my hand to my chest. "Oh, who am I kidding? We're completely fucked!" I was having trouble breathing, which is always how I get right before a panic attack.
"Alice… breathe." He said, taking my face in his hands. " We'll be fine. We don't have to tell him anything yet. Look, we'll find a way to break it to him without causing his head to explode, okay?" He said, and I nodded. "Good." He released my face as Sarah, then Kate, sat down beside us.
"Hey kiddies." Kate started. "So, has he gotten into your pants yet, or have you two already started doing the nasty?" Sarah looked appalled.
"Kate! What the hell? Why are you so vile all the time, huh?" I said, annoyed.
Kate sighed, saying, "Just answer the damned question, Al."
I began to say something, but Reid cut me off, looking at her with a grin. Oh god. "Kate, do you think that if I had gotten into her pants yet or if we were already fucking, that we would be here, in school, where we can't do any of that?"
Kate snorted. "Not like that's ever stopped you." She said. "How many times did you get caught in a… indecent position many different times on different parts of campus by multiple members of the school's faculty? Thirty-nine, was it?"
"Excuse me?" I said, as Sarah's mouth fell open in surprise.
Reid looked at me hastily, running a hand through his hair. "I can explain." He said.
"You sure as hell better." I growled, crossing my arms over my chest with a 'hmph'.
Reid looked at Kate angrily. "And how many for you and Pogue, huh? Because last time I checked, you guys had my record beat by at least five. So what is that? Forty-four, I believe." He said as she glared at him across Sarah, flushing with embarrassment.
"Enough, you two!!!" Sarah said and both of them sat back as the teacher walked into the classroom, beginning the class.
I was sitting in class, being bored to tears, when I felt a hand slip onto my thigh, almost causing me to jump five feet into the air. Sarah noticed, and looked at me questioningly. I gave her a little shrug, and then turned to a smirking Reid, my eyes narrowed. "What are you up to?" I hissed at him sharply. Sarah and Kate exchanged a knowing look as Reid shrugged, causing me to almost growl at him. I turned back to focusing on the teacher. Well, at least, trying to focus on the teacher. Reid's hand was still perched on my thigh, causing me to be highly distracted.
What's wrong, baby? You seem tense? Maybe I should give you a massage… a full body massage…
My tempers flared. Oh he was gonna get it now.
You're ridiculous You know that, right? I wrote, sliding the note in front of him.
He slipped it back only a few seconds later. Yes, but you love me for it.
I snorted. That's debatable.
Ya wound me, Allykins. Truly, you do. I rolled my eyes at his reply.
Reid, you're an idiot. I wrote back, exasperated.
Yes, but I'm your idiot! I finally cracked a smile.
This is true.
Aha! Finally! You smiled! I was beginning to think I'd lost my touch. I just shook my head, smile still playing on my lips as I didn't reply.
I suddenly felt the hand on my thigh making maddeningly slow circles. I shot him a look, but he was leaning his chin on his other hand, looking forward, perfectly still besides the hand moving sensually over my leg.
"What are you doing?" I whispered tentatively. Though he didn't respond, I could see a smirk finding it's way onto his face.
"I haven't the slightest idea as to what you are insinuating." He said quietly in an even tone.
His hand moved slowly up my thigh, and back down again. I bit my lip. He put the tips of his fingers on my knee, spreading them slowly out on my knee, causing a tingling sensation to shoot up my leg as I bit down on my lip harder, suppressing a moan. "Reid… stop…" I begged, my voice barely a whisper.
"No can do." He smirked wider still; something which I didn't think was possible. He slipped his hand up the inside of my thigh, torturously slow. I almost whined, but I bit my lip hard, soon after tasting the coppery taste of blood. He got dangerously close to my core, when the bell rang, which caused me to almost jump up five feet in the air. I jumped up quickly, but he wrapped an arm around my waist, I looked up in alarm, only to calm when I saw that both Caleb and Pogue's attentions were focused elsewhere.
"Are you suicidal, or just mentally ill?" I whispered harshly.
"Neither, I've just got a dangerous disease. It's called 'being in love', you dummy." He said, rubbing the top of my head, messing my hair. But I couldn't bring myself to yell at him for doing so like I had planned to. I just smiled a secret, blushing like a ninny. Sarah and Kate exchanged a smirk, as Kate whispered that later she wanted details. I just kept on silently smiling. Sarah distracted my brother so Reid and I could make a quick escape so that he could walk with me to class, arm around my shoulders; without getting in trouble. I was content, happy, and in my own little world. Because I had my own ray of sunshine through this entire ordeal. My… 'almost' boyfriend (not to mention that we're talking about Reid Garwin here; aka Spencer's biggest player) had indirectly just told me that he was in love with me. And I was just fine with that, myself.
Evan
a/n: This class is later on in the day for her; actually, it's the last period of her first day, just in case you were wondering.
I walked into my photography class, spotting Alice almost immediately. Then again, it was hard not to. There was just something about her that practically screamed 'look at me!' and the rest of the male population did indeed. She sat at one of the two desks at the front of the room. Well, actually, she was currently sitting on said desk, causing her blue plaid skirt to rise up a bit. Her blue blazer was draped across the back of her chair, he collared shirt had the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, the first few buttons undone, revealing a lacey, dark-blue camisole underneath. She wore thin, white, stocking-like knee highs, and the normal black shoes. Her straight, silky, brown hair with the purple tips was swept back into a ponytail. Her eyes were beautiful and captivating, as was her beautiful face.
She laughed as the guy who stood in front of her holding onto her thighs, Reid, cracked a joke about her brother. My stomach boiled in jealousy as he kissed her cheek, leaving the room to get to his own class on time. Her eyes followed his back until he was out of sight. Then, she looked down at her hands, sighing to herself.
The bell rang and I settled into my seat. She turned, hopping off the desk, the hair in her ponytail swaying to her side. It was then that I caught a glimpse at the tattoo on the back of her neck; a crescent moon. I caught her eye as she sat down at her desk, and we stared eyes locked, until she blushed, looking down. I smirked. On the bright side, this would be fairly easy; easier than I had thought it would be.
The teacher stood in the front of the room, saying, "Alright, class, go with your partners; Evan, since you're new, you can pair up with my student aide, Alice, with whom we are all so happy to have back from London." I nodded, smiling to myself. I knew why the teacher suddenly had a mind to pair me with her student aide; Chase. "Alright, go ahead."
"Hey there." I said, standing in front of her desk.
"Alright, look here, Abbott, I won that money fair and squa-" She started to say, but them looked up at me and paused, shock appearing in her eyes. "Oh, hi. I'm sorry. I- I thought you were someone else… Aaron Abbott. He's pissed because I beat him at pool and that cost him a lot of money, and… I'm rambling, aren't I?"
I laughed. "It's okay, it was cute." I said, turning on the charm. She blushed. "Let's do that over again, shall we? Hi, I'm Evan Marcus. I'm new here. And you are?" I said, smiling, holding out a hand to shake.
"I'm Alice. Alice Danvers. It's nice to meet you too." She smiled up at me warmly, shaking my hand. This was going to be easier than I thought.
Okay, so it was a tiny bit too short, but it had to be so that I could be able to write the next chapter as long as I need! So tell me what you think. R&R plz. Oh, and IMPORTANT; and if you have any ideas at any point and time during my story, or any one of my stories (This one, Saving Ana, and Hilarity and Madness), just let me know and I'll take it into consideration, and will try to incorporate most of them! Thanks so much! Remember, more reveiws me sacrificing my GPA to write more for you guys!
