A/N - I started writing this story a while ago but didn't put it up because I didn't know where to go with it but now I do….well I think so anyway. Ideas and reviews would be great!
Ever since I could remember it's always been us five. We shared a secret, a bond that went all the way back to 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. Back in the day when witches were hunted and burnt at the stake, five witches made a vow of silence to protect themselves and their families from persecution. Fast forward 316 years and hey presto you have us, their descendants. Yes, we are witches, but sadly no we don't ride broomsticks, sacrifice animals or worship Satan.
Firstly I'll introduce my friends to you. There are five of us – Isolde Abbot, Peyton Stroup, Constance Knight, Evelyn Tunney and myself, Siobhan Powell. We each possess supernatural powers, by the right of our heritage, that relates to the pentagram. I'm surprised that we're all so close as we differ from each other entirely. Peyton is the wild one in our group. She never attends class, yet somehow manages to pass, she comes across as arrogant and drives the best car in the world – a black 78 mustang. Peyton has every boy in the school wrapped around her finger with her long dark brown hair and almost black eyes. Peyton's element is fire.
Evelyn is the artist in our circle. You'll find her out in the woods on the weekend painting a new scenery. She's quite shy even though she could easily pass for a model with her jet-black hair and big honey-coloured eyes. Evelyn's element is air. Constance is head cheerleader and of course dating the quarterback. Surprisingly though this hasn't gone to her head. With her bubbly personality and caring green eyes you can's help but lover her. Constance's power is earth.
Isolde, our coven leader is the responsible one. Perfect A student, friends with everyone as school, the kind of person that your mum would want you to hang around. She is tall and slender with long silvery hair and violet eyes. Isolde possesses spirit, the greatest power of them all. The power of all of the other elements put together, but more importantly the power to wake the dead. I suppose that leaves me. I have extremely plain features – ;brown hair and what some would call piercing blue eyes. The only thing I am good at is swimming, I'm currently the school's swim team captain, however this may be due to the fact that my element is water.
So there I was walking up the front steps of school on the first day back of our senior year when Evelyn rushes up to me.
"We have a new girl" she exclaimed, "her names Blair Ferris and she's just moved here from New Haven. She's already tried to hit on Billy and boy did Constance not look happy at all, especially when she invited herself to sit with us at lunch."
"Whoa calm down. Obviously this new girl doesn't know that Billy is completely hung up on Constance and has been ever since middle school."
"Try and tell Constance that then because she's already asked Peyton to make Blair's hair catch on fire."
Before I could reply Isolde came over with a new looking girl that was obviously Blair.
"Hey Siobhan", Isolde greeted me, "this is Blair. She's new and I've offered to show her around"
I eyed this girl up. 5'7, obviously athletic with dark blonde hair and the weirdest coloured eyes I've ever seen.
"Hi I've already met the rest of your group and Billy." Blair told me.
"Oh I'm sure you have" Evelyn muttered under her breath so I could only hear. I repressed at giggle and just nodded to Blair.
"Blair is a champion swimmer. You're going to have some competition this year," Isolde told me, trying to start up a conversation, which I was completely uninterested in.
"Yeah cool. Catch you later." And with that Evelyn and I left to get the dirt on the new girl from Constance and Peyton.
"So what's with the new chick?" I blurted out as soon as we reached Peyton and Constance.
"Well I've already checked her file and she's an orphan and is currently living in a foster home. I felt sorry for her at first until she threw herself at Billy like a complete skank. Like seriously she put on this fake sweet voice and batted her eyelashes, even after I introduced him as my boyfriend! And now to top it off she thinks she's sitting with us at lunch!" Constance complained.
"Well Isolde has already taken Blair under her wing." Peyton stated.
"Isolde's to nice for her own good" Evelyn agreed.
"Can't for lunch now. It's war." Constance murmured before we all went our different ways for period one.
I made my way to modern history where I saw Blair sitting next to Billy. Oh god if only Constance could see this. I heard a fake laugh come from Blair and watched her touch Billy's arm. What is he doing? I made my way up to them.
"Hey Billy. I see you've met Blair."
"Yeah she's cool" he replied grinning.
"Right. Just remember you actually have a girlfriend at the moment" I whisper in his ear before taking my seat at the back of the class. I saw his ears go red, probably from embarrassment. And then as if I never said anything he went back to talking intently with Blair. What was going on with Billy? He and Constance were going to be Homecoming King and Queen. They fit together like Barbie and Ken. And yet suddenly when fresh meat comes in he just forgets that he's in a relationship! If she thinks she's sitting with us at lunch she's got another thing coming!
By the time it was lunch I was about to scream! I had my first two periods with Blair, and let me tell you something – she will hit on any boy that breathes! I made our way to where Peyton, Constance and Evelyn were already sitting.
"Not here yet obviously. Maybe she took the hint that no one likes her," I say referring to Blair.
"I wouldn't speak to soon" Evelyn mumbles.
I look over my shoulder and sure enough Blair and Isolde are walking towards us. Constance has this permanent scowl on her face and I figure she's probably going to walk off when Blair reaches our circle. I was wrong.
"How nice of you to join us" she says sarcastically and I see Isolde glare at Constance for her rudeness.
"So are you and Billy going to Travis' party this weekend?" Peyton asks Constance, obviously trying to let Blair know that Billy belongs to Constance.
"Ooh," Blair butts in, "Billy invited me to that. He said just about everyone in our year will be going so I may aswell go too"
"Oh did he now" Constance mumbles, "Excuse me ladies but I've got to go find someone" and with that she stalked off.
.
"So Blair, do you know when the swimming trials are then?" Evelyn asks her.
"Yeah I hear that they're this Friday. I'm really excited as I made it to nationals when I did it at my old school."
"Really because I also made it to nationals" I say. I really didn't like this girl one little bit!
"Well may the best swimmer win then. Don't be too upset though if I flog you as I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship" she tells me.
Lucky enough for me the bell rang and Blair stalked off.
"Can I turn her into a toad?"
"Not in public" Peyton replies.
"Don't be so mean. She's only new," Isolde tells us.
"Are we meant to care? She's not some charity case"
"Yes I know that, but she's had a hard life."
"Mustn't have been that hard if she can make it to nationals." I state.
"Just give her a chance..."
"…to show us she's not a skank" Peyton finishes.
"No to show us that she's nice and caring. Just wait and see"
Bring on the swimming tryouts!
