Despite Aleric's disbelief, their instant connection and their mothers' friendship throw him into a whirlwind of uncertainty.

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.
