Chapter 1: Good or Evil
Spencer Academy was one of those schools for the privileged, wealthy heirs and heiresses of Massachusetts. This was a known fact. It was evident from the abundant sports cars, hottest trends, and luxurious egos. However, it was less known that some students had additional attributes that had nothing to do with wealth or prestige. Who were they? The Sons of Ipswich, naturally. Caleb Danvers, Pogue Parry, Reid Garwin, and Tyler Simms were the only members of this powerful group, or so they thought. Chase (Pope) Collins appeared causing havoc and destruction. The Sons were able to defeat him, mainly Caleb. However after the victory, there was two questions that burdened their minds. Is Chase dead? And, are there others? The Book of Damnation briefly mentioned the Pope ancestry. So, the Sons did not discover Chase until he enlightened them of his presence. The book does not seem as accurate as they hoped. Could it also not include other family lines? This uncertainty left them weary. Every new student was viewed as a threat until proven otherwise. There would be no mistake this time. They had to be prepared for whoever came along, good or evil.
Of course as fate would have it, four new female students will be enrolled in Spencer Academy who shared the same attributes as their male counterparts.
Teresa Miller has brown shoulder length, wavy hair with shaggy bangs with brown eyes. She wears light make-up with just eyeshadow, gloss, and mascara. She dresses preppie classic. She stands at five feet and petite. Her personality is shy, diplomatic, too trusting, and understanding. She is extremely analytical yet warm. She idolizes Charlotte from Sex and the City. Her soundtrack to life is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper.
Browen Green has a short bob length, straight, blonde (dyed) hair and brown eyes. She wears black eyeliner at least and usually heavy make-up (Sephora). She dresses rock/edge preppie. She stands at five foot seven inches and slim. Her personality is tough, loyal, sarcastic, and strong-willed. She often hides her true emotions. She has a fleur de lys symbol on the left side of her rib cage. Her soundtrack to life is "Stronger" by Kanye West.
Alexandra Redford has brown/red hair curly, bust length hair and grey eyes. She prefers mascara and chapstick. She dresses bohemian hippy. She stands five foot two inches and curvy (both bust and rear). Her personality is happy-go-lucky, ditzy, calm, and good-natured. She takes heart over head. She has the whole collection of Nancy Drew books. Her soundtrack to life is "Bicycle Race" by Queen.
Elliot Nicholson has straight, black, elbow length hair and blue eyes. Her make-up is similar to Browen, but lighter colors. She dresses trendy chic. She is the same height as Teresa but very busty. Her personality is outgoing, slightly judgmental, flirty, and trustful. She can be stubborn. Outside of school, she always wear dresses and has every fashion magazine. Her soundtrack to life is "Say It Right" by Nelly Furtado.
Who are these girls? Four friends from New Jersey relocated to Ipswich because their families were originally from Ipswich (centuries ago) and wanted them explore their ancestry. What the Sons do not know is that females can also have the Power. The Book of Damnation does not note this. The literature is written in the male perspective with "he, him, his." Most of records of history are written this way. So, the Sons assume it was only males. The history of their families are difficult to trace because the female relatives with the Power had changed their maiden surnames to married surnames. Their Power is not as strong as the males'. Because of this, there is no addiction or aging. However, the female Power ensures that they will produce at least one heir (male or female) will inherit the Power regardless if the father has the Power or not. Hypothetically, this certainty could appeal to a particular person who is consumed by power and wants to continue a particular bloodline. But this is just hypothetical, is it?
Sadly, it was unanimous that Sarah and Kate to move somewhere far and safe. The girls agreed without contest. If you truly love someone, you will let them go. Of course, this broke Pogue's and Caleb's hearts. Yet, time and distance cause a rift in the romantic part of their relationships. They love them but not in love with them anymore. The Sons had to be realistic. Long distance relationships do not sustain well. They also had to consider future relationships. They had to think of the endangerment, secrets, trust, and life. The previous events that Sarah and Kate endured should not be repeated. The Sons still remain in contact with Kate and Sarah.
After all that has happened, the Sons generally acted how they always do. They could not appear suspicious for the sake of themselves and people around them. But what will happen when the New Jersey girls come along?
