I fled the night they killed my parents. They tried to kill me too, but I got away.

I buried the past and made a new life for myself, hidden in a world without magic. The human world, where fae are little more than stories.

But one night, in the fighting ring where I use the only skills I have to earn a living, my masked opponent pins me down and rips my mask off.

"I thought you were dead," he whispers.

And I know without tearing his own mask off that it's HIM.

He's found me.

- - -

With magic, action, and angsty slow-burn tension, you won't be able to stop turning the pages!

NOTE: While this story is set in the same fictional world as Rachel Morgan's bestselling Creepy Hollow Series (which you can start reading here on Wattpad with The Faerie Guardian and The Faerie Prince), you do not have to read that series before reading this one.

My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger.

Follow me Witch Boy, I may know how to save you. (The Covenant) by DianaMontes646
22 parts Complete
Fanfiction from The Covenant Movie. Events set following the end of the movie. Synopsis After Caleb presumably eliminates Chase in a fight in Ipswich, a young witch by the name Alessa finds him burning and decides to teach him to be a warlock. Excerpt Chase Collins was only aware of the burning pain that engulfed his body. Oh, and he was on fire quite literally. All he could remember before being on fire was the barn. He tried to make Caleb Danvers will his power to him when he ascended, Chase wanted more power, he was intoxicated by it, and he needed it more than he needed to breathe. But his plan backfired. It was part of the magic characteristics to be able to recognize the magic in others; you could say that everyone capable of yielding power was power sensible to their kin. Alessa felt it since she saw him falling from sky and now Chase could sense the power surrounding her. Because Alessa was a powerful witch. "Follow me, Witch boy. I may know how to save you". And by saying this, she took the greatest risk of them all: letting a stranger, who happened to be a warlock and probably would murder her to get her magic, enter her home.

Time seemed to slow as his gaze traveled from mine to my lips, his expression softening with unspoken words. It was a fleeting moment of connection amidst the laughter and playfulness, a silent acknowledgment of something unspoken between us. "Can I?" he whispered, his voice barely audible but filled with longing. Instead of answering verbally, I leaned in ever so slightly, a silent invitation reflected in my eyes. The air between us crackled with anticipation as our lips hovered just inches apart, poised to bridge the gap between desire and reality. ♡ ₊ ˚ •¤ ‧ ₊ ✧ ‧₊ ༉ As I stand poised with the knife at their throat, the air crackles with tension, thick and suffocating. It's a battle of wills, a silent struggle between predator and prey, each locked in a precarious dance of defiance and determination. But the figure remains silent, an impenetrable wall of stoicism in the face of my interrogation. Frustration boils within me, driving me to press the blade deeper against their throat in a desperate bid for answers. ♡ ₊ ˚ •¤ ‧ ₊ ✧ ‧₊ ༉ They say "Even devil sits back and take notes when a woman takes revenge." A story of a woman who has turned the whole city upside down and who's name is like a prohibited act because if you speak ill of her she'll make sure to grab your throat and who knows what deadly wrath they will face.
