Again I dont own the Covenant and probably never will... which is a tragedy to me and Sam.

Ok as it happens me and Sam decided to make a mini series of one-shot written by me... Ally. Sam gives me keywords and I write a story to fit round it. Todays keywords were Roller Coaster.

Enjoy the story.

Power vs. Roller Coaster

Well last week’s events were... amusing to say the least. As always I got a get out of jail free card while Reid shoulders all the blame. Insert evil laugh here! God I love being the girl of the covenant. So I was able to shift all of the blame onto Reid and avoid having to wash the yellow monster that is Pogue’s motorbike. I simply said that Reid had walked up to me in town and grabbed me for ‘no apparent reason’ and threw the ice-cream out of my hand. The old damsel in distress story works every time. Though the boys worked out I play them off each other so now I go through Kate. Kate knows I am probably not telling the whole truth but she and Reid don’t get on that well so she takes my side. Kate has a fiery temper and Pogue hates seeing her upset.

The door bell rings, resounding throughout the sleeping household. Well it is three in the morning! Me being the light sleeper woke up. Mom slumped on the chair down stairs, glass of whiskey in her hand, in a deep dark sleep that protects her from the reality of the covenant. Caleb is in one of his ‘dead sleeps’ as he calls it, pity the fool who tries to wake him though. The boy could sleep through anything. I swing my feet over the side of the bed and walk down stairs. I am too tired to remember about the rug and trip over it. My head crashes against the solid wooden floor, I twist my wrist. I stand and let my veins drown with power and heal most of my injuries. When I am finally recovered from my concussion I open the door to find Tyler, Reid and Pogue. God! It’s three is the bloody morning they must be drunk... yeah that sounds like Reid on a Saturday night. Yet it doesn’t sound like Tyler and Pogue. Maybe Reid drugged them or paid them off.

“Little Lexie!” Reid slurs in a sleepy voice, pulling me into a hug.

“To what do I owe this encounter with all three of you at once?” I state still agitated from my now swollen lump on my head that wouldn’t heal in a hurry.

“We are taking you and Caleb to a theme park.” Pogue declared in an as-a-matter-of-fact voice.

“At three in the bloody morning? Are you fecking serious?” I say in a sleepy anger.

“If we want to get there when the park opens, and then get the choice of all the rides... yeah!” Tyler states with a laugh before hugging me also. What is it with them hugging me? Didn’t they know that when I’m tired my bite is always worse than my bark!

Reid grabs my wrist and carts me upstairs to pack some bare essentials for taking with me. Tyler and Pogue go to try wake up Caleb... good luck to them! Once we are all down in the foyer area Caleb goes and wakes mom to tell her where we are going. We all get in the eight-seat car that Pogue’s dad was driving. I end up in the back next to Reid, Tyler and Caleb in front of us and Pogue in the front with his dad. I must have fell asleep for the next thing I know I opened my eyes to find my head slumped on Reid’s shoulder and his arm holding me closer to him.

My eyes widen, I so did not remember falling asleep like this! Reid will blame me if he wakes up saying that I am finally showing my true colours and that I was trying to seduce him... as if! I manoeuvre myself out of his grasp to find that he was already awake.

“No worries Lex, you fell asleep and hit your head of the window, I moved you so you wouldn’t hit that lump again.” He whispers softly before savagely prodding the lump. I growl lowly causing him to laugh.

“We’re here guys... and girl!” Pogue shouts from the front of the car, “Lexie? Can you and Reid refrain from fighting in the car? I do not want a repeat of last week!”

I nod, in no mood to argue. We all vacate the car and walk towards the entrance of the theme park. Reid and Tyler pull me away from the safety of Caleb and Pogue and drag me to a few of the stalls. On each of them I use discreetly to make Reid win every time and get him in trouble with Tyler. Erm, doesn’t sound very nice but it works and I consider it pay back for the ice-cream stunt.

“I didn’t use though!” Reid bawled at Tyler, as we stood far away from everyone else.

“Well who else could have then? I seriously hope you aren’t trying to suggest that I did it. Or even better... that Lexie did it; she has no power Reid.” Tyler says calmly rubbing his head. I secretly smirk... I love my powers being inconspicuous.

“Can you not believe I have a good aim?” Reid says his voice etched with a hint of betrayal. I start to feel bad now, trust me when Reid is concerned feeling bad about a prank does not happen very often.

“Let’s just forget about it and go ride the roller coaster,” I say to lighten the frosty atmosphere around the three of us.

We all walk to The Ultimate and stand in the queue; we wait for about half an hour until we reach the top of the queue. My half an hour was spent annoying the living hell out of Reid. I tapped his shoulder and looked the other way, I whistled pretending to be Reid... yes I can imitate the great Garwin mating call... yippee for me... cough... cough. Making the girls boyfriends think it was Reid is fun. I know Reid can take the guys anyway... I hope... well the guys are pretty big... maybe I shouldn’t have done that.

“Are you eyeing up my girlfriend?” One teenage boy demanded to know. Me, being the one that now seems to get guilty easily decide to step in to save the oh so brave Reid Garwin who now seems to be cowering behind Tyler!

“Why would he eye up your girlfriend when he has me?” I say with a smug look on my face, I could feel the boy’s attention turn onto me, never mind Reid and Tyler’s gaze of shock drilling into the back of my head. Boy am I glad Reid chose suitable clothes that can only leave a guy to wonder what is underneath.

“Yeah get lost and stop eyeing up my girlfriend!” Reid says mockingly wrapping his arms round my waist. The boy looks a tad shell shocked and why wouldn’t he? How on this earth could a boy like Reid Garwin get a girl like me? Yet Reid’s smile seems so warm and genuine I could have sworn he liked the thought of me as his girlfriend. Wait! What the hell am I thinking? Since when did I care what Reid wanted, it must be the tiredness, getting woke at three in the morning and trying to sleep in a moving car can leave you very tired and very delirious.

About ten minutes later I am being dragged to a seat on the roller coaster. Somehow I am lumbered in behind Tyler and Reid. Tyler and me, we hate going too fast whereas Reid loves speed. It is one of the appeals roller coasters holds for him as well as my car. I shut my eyes, I hate roller coasters but if it stops the boys arguing. I feel the seat tilt back as we go up the slope. I can feel the power enter my veins. NO! This can’t be happening! I can’t use now! I can feel the ride slow down... hell no, this so can’t be happening. We stop at the top of the hill. The disappointed groans could be heard and the scared whimper from my lips. Then the ride starts moving again this time no matter how much my power tried the cart wouldn’t stop. There was a barrier against it, when I get off the ride I can see Reid’s eyes and Tyler’s eyes are normal.

There was a boy straight ahead off us, though it was as if only I could see him. His red eyes look at me intently, before he disappeared giving a short but friendly wave. Is it possible there are more magical people other than the Sons and ... me?

Well as we meet back up with Caleb and Pogue we decide it is best not to tell them what happened today, the last thing we need is a fight between Caleb and Reid. As we leave the park I realise something, the Covenant power is just one big roller coaster ride and that is why Reid enjoys it a little too much.

Just incase you were wondering, the keywords for Pogue doesn't like ice-cream were Ice-cream and Motorbike.

Please read and review and if you have any keyword ideas please feel free to suggest them.
