Skylar POV- She stood in the Boston Morgue looking down at the dead body on a slab. The body of her best friend.

"Is that her?" the coroner asked.

"Yes this is Jessie…Jessica" Skylar said feeling numb.

"I'm very sorry for your loss" the old man said softly.

"How did she die?"

"Looks like anaphylactic shock. You're on her phone under 'In Case of Emergency' was she allergic to anything? Like spiders maybe?"

"Spiders? Yes she was allergic to those cursed things" Skylar said her body tense now.

Skylar used her training to really look at Jessie's body and sure enough she saw it. All the signs of a Spider Creation spell used to kill her friend. Her friend was killed by a witch and if she saw that witch use his power again she'd know who he was by the look of his power, it was still lingering on Jessie's body black like tar.

All witches leave different signs of their power when they use it so if she were to see this black tar again she'd know she'd have the right witch. Looked like Skylar was going on a witch hunt in Boston.

Skylar made her way to the Council's library full of their witch history and began her research she learned that there were only four witch families in Salem and none of them were part of the Council, instead their families formed their own covenant. The four families were the Perry's, the Simm's the Garwin's and Danver's.

Luckily for her they all went to the same Prep school and she had the grades to get in. All she had to do was convince the Council and her parents to allow her to go on this mission for justice. Or vengeance same thing.

Her parents were easy to convince to let her go, they knew she could handle it and they were proud of her for wanting to take on her first mission for the Council. Convincing the Council however... not so easy.

"We simply cannot risk it" the older male Council witch member said.

The witch Council was made up of 5 witches. 2 were male witches who looked to be in their 80's however they were really only about 25. The power the male witches carried is addictive and the more they use it, the more it ages them. These Council members are there because they help the younger male witches to control the addiction and show them they don't have to use it if they don't want to. Next were 2 male witches who looked about 50 to 60 years old and they were actually that age, as they sparsely used their powers. And the last member was a female witch around the age of 70.

Female witches were rare, only a handful are born once every 50 years. This 50 year cycle only 2 were born Skylar and Jessie and now Jessie was dead leaving Skylar as the only female witch in this cycle. Unlike male witches, females can use their powers as much as they want without any side effects. Also if a male and female witch were to be together in a bonding ceremony, basically a witch wedding, then that male witch would get more powerful yet he would no longer age with the use of his powers and they would cease to be addictive to him.

Only 3 witch bonding ceremonies have been recorded on record. One of those was her own grandmothers which made Skylar the grandchild of not just one witch but two. This made her the most powerful witch on the planet.

"Me. You mean you can't risk me" Skylar argued.

"My child you are the only female witch left of this 50 year cycle" Katherine, the elder female witch said.

"Yeah I am the only one left because some other witch killed the other one!" Skylar was starting to get angry.

"We know Jessie was your friend and we WILL send someone to find the witch who did this but it won't be you" the male witch from before said.

Skylar looked to Steven an actual middle age witch and silently begged him. Steven smiled at her.

"And why shouldn't it be her? She's been trained and as granddaughter to two witches she's stronger than any witch we could send. Also in two days' time she'll turn 18 and ascend making her even more powerful" Steven said.

"Oh. He is right" a pudgy young old witch chimed in.

Soon the votes were taken and were in her favor.

"Be safe young one" Katherine told her.

Steven winked at her. She grinned, thanked them all and left the chamber. According to Social media there would be a 'party' at the Dells, near the Prep school the four witch boys attended, later that night.

Thankfully the Council agreed to her plan because she had already filled out transfer and housing forms for Spencer Academy and had been accepted a few days ago. She'd also already moved some of her stuff into her new dorm room.

In her new dorm room she changed into a red t-shirt, dark blue jeans and her favorite black heeled boots. Last she threw on her black and red leather riding jacket, tossed her auburn hair into a tight ponytail and headed out the door. Climbing onto her black and red Ninja bike Skylar headed out to the party site.

Reid POV- Reid walked towards his friends waiting at the top of the cliff overlooking the party below. Reid was late because he had homework to do, not that he'd ever tell anyone that.

His image was that he was a bad boy who didn't care about anything, especially nerdy things like grades and he played that image well. But secretly Reid was a straight A student and he didn't even have to use his powers to get there.

"What's up fellas?" Reid asked.

"Where were you? I stopped by to give you a lift" Tyler asked.

"Had things to do. How's the party?" Reid asked not saying he had secretly been in the library.

"Don't know, just got here" Pogue said.

"Well hell boys… let's drop in" Reid said letting his eyes flash yellow then solid black as his power rushed to his command for this large scale spell.

Reid kicked a rock off the cliff before simply stepping off it himself. The fog rushed past him as the ground got closer and Reid smiled loving the fell of power inside himself. He landed hard on the ground bending his knees on impact but thanks to his power he was completely unharmed.

He waited to see if him friends would join him and sure enough they did and in the order he thought they would too. First the baby, Tyler, then the second oldest, Pogue, and finally last, Caleb, the oldest and one who rarely used his power.

Together they walked towards the fires on the beach hearing the music as soon as they got close. Reid's eyes glanced around the crowd, then came back to a girl dancing by the fire with a cup in her hand. The fire shining on her hair bring out the red in what Reid would guess was a reddish brown color. She wore simple jeans and a t-shirt but he was impressed to see her wearing a custom motorcycle jacket, he knew it was custom by the way it fit her, hugging every curve perfectly.

He kept walking with his friends but he couldn't help that his eyes kept darting over to the girl dancing. She caught him looking at her and she smiled before going back to dancing.

"Hey Kate" Caleb said to a dark skinned girl.

"Caleb" Kate replied smiling.

"Hi" Pogue said hugging her close.

"You're late" Kate chastised before giving Pogue a kiss.

"I had a thing with the family" Pogue replied.

"Who's this?" Pogue asked about the blonde girl standing there with Kate.

"My new roommate. Sarah this is Pogue Perry, Tyler Simms, Reid…" Kate said when suddenly a girl stumbled backwards into them crashing into Reid who caught her.

Skylar POV- Skylar saw the four boys, the four witches, walk into the party and she knew exactly who they were on sight. She didn't plan to confront them so she kept dancing while keeping an eye on them.

As she looked over she caught the blond, Reid, looking at her and she smiled at him. Turning away she berated herself for smiling. She was not here to make friends or date she was here to find her friends killer. But still she stole another quick look at Reid, he was cute.

Slowly, casually making her way over to the group she let her eyes flash quickly purple as she cast a small spell on one of the male party goers. The boy turned sharply stumbling and ended up hitting her in the face.

It wasn't a hard hit thanks to her powers but she acted like it was and she tumbled right in to the group of witches and their friends. Quickly using her power she made her nose bleed slightly. She heard all forms of 'are you okay's' or 'alrights' from the group.

"Whoa I gotcha. You okay?" one of the witches asked.

When she looked up she realized she stumbled herself right into Reid Garwin's arms. She went to answer him but when she looked into his blue eyes Skylar did something she'd never done before, she froze.

Reid POV- Reid could hardly believe the girl he'd been watching dance was now in his arms looking at him like a deer in the head lights. Not a look he'd like to see on her face but he'd just have to work on changing it.

"You okay? Reid asked again smiling slightly looking into her hazel colored eyes.

He felt something in his tightened but ignored it immediate once he saw her nose was bleeding.

"I'm fine…thank you" the girl said standing up.

She tried to take a step back but Reid's arm around her waist kept her trapped to his side.

"Hey asshole watch where you're going next time" Reid told the guy who'd hit her.

Then using his gift he made the guy vomit all over which was generous considering he wanted to pound on the guy for some reason more than simply hitting a girl. Then, gently Reid grabbed a napkin from Tyler before he used it on his mouth and lightly wiped the blood off the girl's face.

"Your nose is bleeding. Anything else hurt?" he asked.

She just stared at him then the guy vomiting and back at him before shaking her head.

"Guys! Guys! Dylan just called! He said he saw three cops cars headed this way on Old Dell Road" a guy said over the loud speaker cutting off the DJ.

Everyone began to run for their vehicles since this 'party' was technically illegal. Reid took the girls hand as he ran for the woods to where all their vehicles were parked. Pogue slowed to walked with Kate and Caleb stopped running to walk with Sarah.

"Thanks for defending me" Reid's mystery girl said before she kissed his cheek and pulled her hand free of his.

She walked off to a bike that matched her jacket.

"Wait, what's your name?" Reid asked as his friends got into Tyler's Hummer.

"Skylar" the girl said getting on her bike.

"I'm Reid."

"I know" she smiled pulled on her helmet and was gone.

Smiling Reid got into the passenger seat of Tyler's vehicle while Pogue and Caleb were in the back.

"Sarah wants you man" Pogue told Caleb who grinned.

"Looked like Reid got more than you did though" Tyler chimed in.

"Yeah man who was that girl?" Pogue asked grinning.

"Don't really know…yet" Reid replied.

"My car won't start!" Sarah yelled to them.

"Hop in with us" Caleb said to her with the window down.

"I can't just leave it here."

"I could fix it for you" Reid offered knowing Caleb never would.

"Reid don't" Caleb warned.

"Why? Cause it's not something you'd do? I got this" Reid said getting out of the Hummer.

Reid walked over to Sarah's car and popped the hood open. Then he let his eyes briefly flash yellow as he used his powers.

"Try it again" Reid told Sarah as he put the hood down.

She turned the key and the car started.

"Thank you!" she yelled before taking off.

Cop sirens could be heard getting closer.

"Gotta bolt. Move over" Reid ordered Tyler as he opened the driver's door.

"It's my car" Tyler argued.

"Move over baby boy, now" Caleb said.

Reid quickly got behind the wheel and pulled out sending dirt and moss flying. Soon however there was a cop car following them. Tyler and Pogue laughed and hooted while Caleb groaned.

"No sweat" Reid said grinning as he drove faster dodging trees left and right.

"We gotta pull over" Caleb sighed.

"You wanna stop? That'll impress Harvard" Reid said.

"All right what the hell let's lose them. Cut across Marblehead. We might as well have some fun while we're at it" Caleb said surprising Reid.

"Lose them! Step on it. Go" Tyler yelled grinning.

Reid made breakneck turns as he headed in the direction he needed to go. All the boys were laughing and grinning as the cops followed. Finally they cleared the forest and headed towards the light house and its cliff.

Reid ramped the Hummer a little and the boys laughed more when it hit the ground jostling them around a bit.

"All right guys you ready?" Reid asked.

"Come on Caleb. It's gonna take all of us" Pogue urged.

The cops behind them honked but Reid just pressed the accelerator to the floor. Then all the boys let their eyes go pure black as they combined their powers for what they were about to do.

"Harry Potter can kiss my ass!" Reid yelled as he drove off the cliff.

As the car fell they focused and when it neared the ground their spell kicked in. instead of landing on the ground and dying they landed behind the cop car. They were all cheering and laughing at the looks on the cops faces. Reid put the car in reverse backed up a ways then turned around and drove off.

Skylar POV- The power being used at that moment was enough to pull her out of a dead sleep. She quickly lifted her hands in front of her chest and let her eyes go pure white as she moved her hands quickly apart. It was a protection spell. One that had to be taught and practiced.

She was worried whoever killed Jessie knew who Skylar was and was targeting her too. She quickly realized though this spell wasn't for her but merely powerful enough to wake her.

Now that she was wide awake she headed out of her room, grabbing a towel as she left and headed for the showers. Due to the late hour she wasn't surprised she was the only one in the girls' room. She stripped off her old comfy t-shirt and sleep shorts and turned on the hot water. Soon steam filled the room and as she stood under the hot stream Skylar finally started to relax.

As she stepped out of the shower and wrapped a large black towel around herself she felt like she was being watched. Calmly she began to squeeze the water out of her hair and she felt the presence get closer to her. Pretending nothing was wrong she was about to use her power for a tracking spell when outside the slamming of a door drew her attention and the presence disappeared.

Angry now at whoever distracted her from hunting down the witch who was watching her Skylar went out to confront the person. She stormed out into the hallway, her towel firmly in place, and once again ran right into Reid Garwin's arms.

"Whoa sorry bout th… oh hey there… again" Reid grinned at her.

All her anger evaporated as she looked at him.

"What are you doing here?" she asked casually.

"I just got in. Had to run from some cops. It's all good" he explained.

Skylar chuckled a little at that.

"You okay? You came out of there like something was bothering you" Reid asked pointing to the shower room.

Skylar looked back at the door but she didn't tell him what she'd felt.

"Yeah everything's fine" she replied.

When she turned back to face him Reid was right in front of her just inches away.

"You sure?" he asked looking down at her.

Slowly Skylar took a step back but he simply took a step forward. Before she knew it her back was pressed up against the wall. She knew she should be feeling scared or suspicious, at least of Reid, but she wasn't feeling any of those things not even a little.

"I should…get going" Skylar said softly yet she made no move to leave.

"Yeah me too" Reid replied equally soft, though he made no move to go either.

"Then why are neither of us moving?" Skylar asked.

"Cause I really want to kiss you" Reid said grinning wickedly.

"You move fast" Skylar said.

"Not usually this fast but something about you…"

Skylar knew she shouldn't kiss him though. It wasn't because he was a suspect. It was because she was worried about what would happen if she did kiss him. It wasn't until Reid reached up to cup her jaw and leaned down did Skylar slip to the side.

"Sorry don't kiss on a second date" Skylar grinned.

Reid looked like he wanted to reach out for her or chase her if she ran and Skylar secretly liked that. Instead of running she simply turned around and walked down the hallway adding a little sway to her hips.

"Guess I'll have to bump into you again then before I get that kiss" Reid called softly after her.

"We'll see" Skylar replied heading for her room.

She felt Reid's eyes on her the entire way. Once inside her room Skylar let out a little sigh of relief. Reid made her feel things she wasn't used to feeling but what scared her was how much she liked the feelings he brought out in her.

Thankfully she could now say 100% that Reid was not the one who killed Jessie. His power looked different than the one she'd seen on Jessie's body, the same power she's seen in the shower tonight. It was not the power she'd seen when Reid made that guy at the party vomit and she knew it was Reid who did that.

Reid's power was more red and there was no black in it, no darkness. So Reid was innocent and that was good because she wasn't sure how long she could resist kissing him. One of his friends however might not be as innocent.
