Prologue: Four years ago: part one
A petite thirteen year girl sat at the window seat in her room staring at all of the guests, mostly her parent's wealthy friends, leaving from what had been her thirteenth birthday party. She had dark brown hair, almost black at first glance, and deep blue eyes-a trait that ran heavily through her family. She heard her bedroom dorm open and turned to see her younger brother, Reid, walking in. While they both shared their family's blue eyes, her brother had their father's blond hair and she her mother's brown. He was also taller than her; his 5'6 towering over her 5'1.
"Ya ready Ronnie," he asked her.
"Yeah, sure lets go," she said giving him a small smile. "Has Caleb already left?"
"Are you serious? He wouldn't leave without us," the boy smirked.
"Right," she said. "You okay," she asked, noticing Reid's anxiousness and worry.
"Is it going to hurt for you and Caleb," Reid asked quietly.
"Mom and dad said it would hurt for a little at first but I'm not worried," she said masking her own worry.

A half an hour later all members of the covenant were standing on top of the Marblehead cliffs. A tall dark haired, brown eyed boy pulled out his phone to look at the time for the hundredth time that night. It was his birthday tonight as well as his best friend Veronica Garwin's. At precisely two a.m. on October 31st both children of the Ipswich colonies would receive power-power so strong and addictive that it could destroy them completely.
"Is it almost time," Veronica asked.
"Just about," Caleb answered. "Don't be scared Ronnie. You'll see…everything will be fine."
"You promise?"
"Yeah, I promise," he grabbed her hand and gently squeezed it. Blushing bright red, she pulled back her hand and moved towards her brother.
"Ronnie," he father called, "You and Caleb have to keep a few feet away from us now. There are only two minuets remaining."
"Alright, daddy," Ronnie walked over to were Caleb was standing; a few good yards away from the rest of them.
She gave Caleb a small reassuring smile but her insides were in knots. She was terrified. It was only usually the first born males that received the power on their thirteenth birthday. A girl was hardly ever born but they also received the power as well. Girls in the covenant were rare but not unheard of.
Thirty Seconds Left
"You scared," she asked.
"A little," Caleb admitted. "Everything's going to be fine thought."
Twenty Seconds Left
"Hey Caleb, where's your mom?"
"She-she didn't want to come," he explained. "It's been hard for her to deal with me getting powers since Dad."

"You're not going to end up like him, Cal," she said firmly squeezing his hand. "You're stronger than that."
"Thanks Ronnie."
