The Covenant: The Return of the Colonies

A-N: Sorry that this chapter took a while, but school has resumed for me, and I have a lot of things to do in school as well as outside of school, so it’s taking up a lot of my time. So just to warn you it may take a couple of weeks to post my chapters. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, thanks for waiting, thanks for reading, and thanks for your comments, I appreciate them.


Tuesday morning arrived and it was another cloudy and snowy day. Tyler’s alarm rang loudly jolting him from his sleep, and out of anger he sent it flying across the room. It flew towards the door and came within an inch of hitting Reid as he walked through it, but luckily he ducked just in time.

“Rough night?” he asked as he shut the door.

“Something like that.” he told him drowsily as he rose from the bed, his hair sticking out in all directions.

“Man you look like crap.”

“Thanks.” he replied sarcastically.

Reid walked over to his clothes which he had laid out on his bed, and began putting them on.

Tyler stood up and stumbled into the bathroom. He wished that they had a shower in their room because he really didn’t want to walk down the hallway, he was too exhausted.

Tyler looked at himself in the bathroom mirror and saw himself looking back, but he wondered if it was him, or something else trying to get free. What was going on with him? Why did he do what he did to Aaron? Did something go wrong during his ascension? So many questions so few answers. He knew that he had to apologize to Aaron, but that was if Aaron would even speak to him.

“Well I’m gone.” Tyler heard Reid say.

“Wait, where are you off to?” he asked him as he walked out of the bathroom.

“To class.” he told him.

“Really!” he said surprised.

“Yeah, really. Why are you so surprised?”

“Why, because you have been missing a lot of classes, that’s why.”

“Look dad, I am eighteen I can do what I want I am an adult.”

“Well actually you’re just allowed to vote and go to war at eighteen; you’re not an actual adult until you’re twenty-one.”

“Shut up and go comb your hair.” he told him as he walked out of the room. Sometimes Reid hated when Tyler would get all smart on him. Sometimes Reid wondered if Tyler was an old man in a teenagers body because he really did act older than he was sometimes. He could be worse than Caleb at times.

After class Tyler went to look for Aaron because he didn’t show up in any of the classes they had together, so obviously, he wondered if Aaron was avoiding him. If he was avoiding him he didn’t really blame him because lastnight was crazy, and having to sit in the same room with him probably would make him uncomfortable.

Tyler decided to check the gym first because he figured that if Aaron was stressed out the one place he would go was the pool. Aaron loved to swim more than Caleb did, and could probably be one of the best swimmers at the school if he would get himself together.

He entered the gym and walked to the pool. He saw that no one was there, but he knew that didn’t mean that he wasn’t there; he could be in the locker rooms which is where he headed next.

He entered the locker rooms and heard the shower running. He had found him, now all he had to do was apologize and get out. He was just hoping that Aaron would accept his apology; he wasn’t the most forgiving person.

Tyler rounded the corner and saw Aaron standing in front of his locker in nothing but a towel and flip flops. He saw Aaron’s wet glistening body, which he wondered if that was from the shower or the pool, of course most people turn the shower off when they’re done.

The white towel that covered the lower half of his body right down to his ankles hugged his butt and thighs. Tyler never realized how much butt Aaron had, of course Chase had more. But Aaron was gorgeous at that moment. His dripping wet bangs fell over his blue eyes, and Tyler had to fight to control himself.

There it was again, he felt himself losing control of himself, he didn’t want Aaron, but he did, he liked Chase, but then he didn’t, he wanted to just apologize and leave, but then he wanted to just screw Aaron’s brains out. What was happening to him?

He shook off what he was feeling and called out Aaron’s name. Aaron looked up and saw him, but didn’t give him any emotion, he just returned to doing whatever he was doing in his locker.

“Aaron, I know you don’t want to talk to me, or see me for that matter, but I wanted to say I was sorry. I don’t know what happened lastnight, but please forgive me.” he said to him sympathetically.

“So I’m sorry is suppose to make me feel better? Do you know how humiliated I was lastnight; it felt like all you wanted me to do was submit to you. I felt like a piece of meat, Tyler!” he exclaimed.

“I didn’t mean to make you feel like that. It’s just I had been wanting to hold you for so long, and when I finally got you, I couldn’t let go. But I never intended on hurting you.”

“Well that doesn’t help me any, you don’t know how much pain I felt when you did that.”

“Oh I don’t know how that felt.” Tyler said to him as he walked towards him. “Who was that person who started teasing me? Who was it that used me to get what he wanted? And who was it that left me TIED TO A TREE!” he yelled, causing two lights behind Aaron to shatter and the wall to crack.

“What was that?!” Aaron asked shocked.

“Faulty wiring.” he said still fuming with anger.

“Look Tyler I’m sorry I did what I did, I really am. But in my defense I was going through some things. I was fifthteen at the time, and... I don’t know. All I can say is I’m sorry.

Tyler turned his head away from Aaron, he couldn’t bear to look at him for that second, but something made him return to staring into his eyes.

“Aaron you had no idea how much I liked you. How much I wanted to hold you and to kiss you. And I felt that I could really trust you. But then some people started to speculate about you and I, and you turned into a monster everytime you saw me.”

“So why do you want me now, after three years.”

“I don’t know Aaron; I guess I still harbor feelings for you.”

Tyler turned to leave, “Oh and I don’t care if you tell your friends I’m gay I could care less. They can’t hurt me anymore and neither can you. Just let me know how they treat you when they find out about you.”

“Is that a threat?”

“No Aaron, I wouldn’t do that to you, that’s your decision.” he told him as he looked back at him. “But you can’t keep hiding behind your lies and treating girls like crap, someone will figure it out.”

With that last sentence Tyler turned away from Aaron and walked away.

“So you’re just going to walk away, and that’s it.”

“Pretty much. I came here to apologize and I did that, so now I’m leaving.”

Aaron sighed and threw his hand out in anger. He was finished with Tyler for the moment; he just wanted to take his shower. He grabbed his soap and walked into the shower room.

Tyler was all the way out of the locker room, when he suddenly stopped. “Then again.” he said to himself. His eyes changed to black and he disappeared in a fog like manner.

Aaron took off his towel and stepped into the hot steaming water. As soon as it hit his body he sighed with relief. He felt as if all his stress and troubles were being washed away.

As he began cleaning himself, the steam that now covered a portion of the shower room started to swirl behind him. It swirled around in a circle that grew slightly taller than Aaron. The steam suddenly dissipated and took on the form of Tyler.

Tyler was fully clothed with the exception of the winter coat he was wearing when he stepped into the hot water. He wrapped his arms around Aaron’s muscular body; causing him to jump. He tried to jerk away and turn completely around, but Tyler held him so tight it was impossible. But although he couldn’t move he could see that it was Tyler out of the corner of his eye.

“What are you doing?!” he asked shocked.

“Pleasing you.” he told him as he pressed his body up against his, and wrapped his hand around his penis.

Aaron gasped from the cold hand wrapping around his warm penis. He placed his hand on top of Tyler’s, closed his eyes, and started to moan as he began stroking him. His head fell back onto Tyler’s shoulder giving Tyler easy access to kiss and suck on his neck, adding to the pleasure.

Tyler bit his neck which released a loud moan from Aaron turning Tyler on even more. He began to move his hand faster and faster causing the moans from Aaron to intensify. After about five minutes Aaron released everywhere, followed by an exhausted sigh.

He turned to face Tyler, but before he could even say anything his mouth was covered by his lips. Tyler forced him against the wall his back slamming against it. He wrapped his arms around him, and stuck his tongue into Tyler’s throat.

He continued to kiss Aaron passionately. Aaron broke away and started to kiss his neck giving him great pleasure. He opened his eyes and they were completely black accompanied by a sinister smile upon his face.

He focused on Aaron and within a second he heard him grunt loudly in pain. Tyler faced Aaron and saw his body completely frozen with pain, his face showing complete agony.

“What...are...you...doing?!” he spoke in a strained voice.

Tyler rubbed his hand through Aaron’s hair. “Paying you back for what you did to me.”

Although Aaron felt as if someone was trying to rip his body apart, he still could tell that there was something different in the way Tyler was. Somehow the pain that he was feeling blurred his vision, but his hearing was fine. Listening to Tyler he heard that his voice was much deeper and darker now.

“I said I was sorry.” he struggled to speak.

“Sorry doesn’t COVER IT!” he growled. “You have to pay for what you did! Although I don’t think killing you would do any good. You are much to hot for that. “How about I just,” he pulled his hair violently causing him to scream, “torture you!”

“Tyler...don’t do this. You don’t want to hurt me.”

Tyler grabbed his neck and slammed him against the wall. “Shut up or I will kill you!”

Aaron was so frozen with fear he couldn’t move which was probably a good thing.

At first all Tyler wanted to do was break his neck in half which he was about to do, but suddenly he saw the pain in Aaron’s eyes and he couldn’t anymore.

He released his hold on Aaron’s neck, and used his power to put him to sleep. He gently lowered him to the floor and began rubbing the side of his face with the back of his hand. “You won’t remember this part of your encounter with me, only the passion we shared earlier.”

He stood up and gave him a smile. His eyes returned to blue and he ran out of the locker room. He stopped for a second because he couldn’t believe what he almost had done. He couldn’t believe he almost killed an innocent person. He looked up at the ceiling. “Oh God, please help me, I don’t understand this, I need to understand what’s happening to me, please God help me.”

Suddenly his phone rang, which scared him. He pulled out his cell phone and saw that it was his father calling. He had forgotten that he was supposed to meet his father for lunch today. He answered the phone and told his father that he was on his way. He hung up the phone and smiled again. He suddenly remembered that if anyone would know what was going on with him it would probably be his father. He looked up at the ceiling, thanked God, and went to meet his father.

Pogue walked up to Kate’s door and knocked on it three times. He still was debating on should he tell Kate now, and if he did how would it come out. He was also worried about how she would react, but one thing he knew was that she wouldn’t stop loving him. They had been together for going on five years, and he was sure that she wouldn’t break up with him. At least he hoped she wouldn’t.

The door opened and there she was the girl of his dreams smiling at him. The first thing he had to do was kiss her. After that he led her into the room, closed the door, and sat with her on her bed.

“Kate, I have something to tell you.” he spoke hesitantly.

“Well what is it?” she wondered.

“Um... this is kind of hard for me to say.”

Kate felt a little apprehensive about what Pogue was going to tell her. She wondered if he was about to break up with her. She really hoped he wouldn’t she loved him so much, but before she completely jumped to that conclusion she wanted to hear what he was about to tell her.

“I really don’t know how to tell you this.” he said.

“You know sometimes when we have to tell someone something that’s very difficult to say; usually it’s best to just say it quickly.”

“All right here goes. You remember that time you asked me about my family and the witch trials.”

“Yeah.”

“And I told you that it was nonsense.”

“Yeah.”

“Well,” he held her hand, “it wasn’t. My male ancestors were actual witches and I am one too.”

Pogue looked at her and could tell that she didn’t believe a word he had just said.

“You know Pogue Halloween was two months ago.” she joked.

“Kate I’m not kidding I’m a natural born witch, and so are Caleb, Reid, and Tyler. We’re the quote...Sons of Ipswich...unquote.”

“Can you prove it?” she asked curiously.

He sighed. “Sure.” He stood up and walked over to the middle of the room. “What would you like to see?”

“Anything, um move that lamp over there.” she told him pointing to the lamp over in the corner.

“I can do better than that.” His eyes changed to black and he looked at the lamp. The lamp levitated off of the table and floated directly in front of Kate. She couldn’t take her eyes off it or Pogue. The lamp shattered into a million pieces and began to swirl around her.

“This is amazing and weird at the same time.” she said.

The shards of the lamp flew back to table and reformed back into the lamp. Pogue’s eyes returned to their natural color and he sat back on the bed next to Kate.

“So how do you feel?”

“Shocked mostly, I mean I never really believed in the supernatural stuff much, I mean except for Heaven and Hell, God and the Devil, but other than that I never really thought much about Witches. Are there more like you and the other boys?”

“Well other than Chase I really don’t know.”

“Wait Chase is a witch.”

“Yeah a bad one too, he tried to kill you. You remember that time you got sick, that was him. He also tried to kill Caleb.”

“What! Where is he?”

“Well he’s assumed dead, but we really don’t know. Don’t worry though you have me, and the others to protect you and Kate.”

“Does Kate know?”

“Yes, he tried to hurt her too, but yeah she knows. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.”

“It’s okay, that’s not something you can just tell anyone Pogue. I have to admit it’s going to take me some time to get use to all this. And I know you had to make sure you could trust me with this secret, and now that you told me, I assume you can.”

“Yeah I would trust you with my life.” he smiled and leaned in to kiss her.

Unbeknown to them a handsome red-headed man was outside listening to every word they were saying. He stared at the door with his forest green eyes like he wanted to break it down, but he just turned and walked away. He passed by one of the girls in the hall and gave her a smile. She smiled back, but it changed to a look of confusion and somewhat fear when she saw him walk through a wall.

Meanwhile over at the restaurant Tyler, who was in new dry clothes, was talking to his father about the recent events.

“Sometimes dad I just feel like there is another part of me trying to escape. Do you think I could have another personality within me?” he asked him while taking a sip of his soda.

“Well I don’t think so son, I mean that is usually caused by severe traumatic experiences, and you haven’t had that...have you?”

“No, I haven’t. Well could it be my powers? Could something have gone wrong during my ascension? What if I am turning into something evil?” he asked him frantically.

“Tyler, Tyler,” his father called out, “calm down. You’re jumping to conclusions, and you know that if you become too emotional your powers will become unstable.”

He sighed, “Yeah I know.”

“Look the best thing you can do is just train yourself and your powers. You know that you have more power than the others do, so you have to be extra careful.”

“Yes I know, but why can’t I tell them. I hate keeping secrets from them dad.”

“I gave you the reasons why Tyler.”

“Yeah I know, but they seem like pretty weak reasons to me.”

Tyler’s dad just shook his head because he knew how stubborn his only son was, a trait he inherited from him.

“Trust me Tyler it’ll be okay. I have to go; got to get back to work.” he told him as he rose from his chair. “Try not to worry so much. Love you.” he told him as he left the money for the check.

“Love you too dad.”

As Tyler watched him walk away he still was feeling worried about what was going on with him. He figured that maybe the Book of Damnation had some answers, but he would have to look later. He realized that he only had ten minutes to get to his next class. He got up from the table and left quickly.

A brown haired waitress with brown eyes, who looked to be about twenty, walked over to the table Tyler and his father were sitting at, and picked up the check and money. She handed the money to the cashier, and went to the back.

She put her tray down, put on her coat, and headed out the back door. She took a cigarette out of her coat pocket and lit it. As soon as she placed it in her mouth it looked like she was in heaven.

“You know those things will kill you.” a male voice spoke.

She looked to her side and saw a red headed man walk up to her. “Oh please Marcus, if they hadn’t killed me in the past fifty years I have been smoking them, I doubt they will kill me now.”

“Humph, well Pogue told his girlfriend who he was.”

“Yeah and poor little Tyler is struggling with his powers.” she mocked.

“As emotional as these boys are, it should be easy to kill them; I don’t see why we have to wait on the others.”

“The other colony is here as well Marcus, that’s why we have to wait on the others. And don’t underestimate the Ipswich colony; they wouldn’t have made it over four hundred years if they were weak.”

“Well I hope they hurry, we’re on a time limit Shauna.”

“Yeah I know, but you know the old saying, patience is a virtue.”

Marcus became so disgusted with her at that present moment. He couldn’t believe she had just said something like that to him, if it was one thing that he was, it was patient.

Casey was in her apartment looking out of her window when the blonde headed man from the night before appeared.

“I found out that the other colony is here. What shall I do?”

“Nothing John.” she said as she turned to face him. “They have two other people to wait for just like us, so they won’t do anything until they arrive.”

“What about Reid?”

“Oh you mean my little toy; oh I have plans for him.”

“I bet you do...please don’t wear this one out like you did the others, remember we need his powers.”

“I know.” she told him as she returned to staring out of the window. “Now go, he’s at the door.”

“As you wish.” he faded out just as a knock came from the door.

“It’s open.”

She turned around to watch him come in. She laughed in her mind because she knew that after she was finished with Reid he would never know what hit him.
