Disclaimer: Do not own The Covenant or plot, just the OC's. I did not come up with the idea of "Daughters of Salem." I give credit to whoever did.
Keagan Crewson is the name. Why is she so special? She's the Daughter of Salem, that's why. And she wasn't the only daughter, there were four more but they never survived. The power was too much for them. They decided it wasn't for them to live this way. During their ascending, they all decided to give up their power to Keagan, the youngest. Now she's stuck with the Power of Five, says the Elders of her people.
Her job now: find the Sons of Ipswich.
Keagan's family is pretty wealthy. This is why she's transferring schools and now going to Spencer. They say they are all in this school, so it should be easy. Keagan doesn't quite understand why she has to find these guys. But they say they can help her.
"Why do I need to find these boys, mother?" She asks her mother, Maria, Keagan never really liked the whole formal talk. The Crewson family has been on drive to Ipswich. They've been living in Salem but she guesses since she is close to ascending, they want her to find the Sons and use their help. For what reason, Keagan hopes to find out.
"You have the power of five, Keagan, dear. There are people out there who want your power. The Sons of Ipswich can protect you." While she said the last sentence, Keagan mouthed the words to match her very own. "I saw that." She says. Keagan smiles innocently to her.
She looks out to see nothing but trees and sighs loudly, grabbing attention.
"You'll like it here, Keagan." Her father, Vincent says.

We finally arrive at the mansion.
"Everything is here?" Keagan asks her mom as we walk in.
"Yes."
"Do you mind if I go out for a while?"
"Go ahead, dear."
In her room, she changes her clothes to a pair of dark denim jeans that hugged her hips, a white top and a pair of black two inch heeled boots. One last look in the mirror and she's good to go. Keagan steps into her prized midnight blue Porsche.
Driving around town she finds a bar called Nicky's.
"Sounds interesting, I might as well go in."
She heads inside, and listens to the clicks of her heels as she walks in. Roaming her eyes around the bar, loud music filled her ears and the chatting of people.
She walks up to the bar and orders a drink. Leaning on the counter and waiting for her order.
"Hey there," A boy about my age greets me. She looks to him.
"Hi." Keagan says with no interest. She turns away as she finally gets her drink.
"I'm Aaron, so are you new around here?" He then begins to slide his hand around her waist, sliding his hand slightly underneath her shirt. She slaps his hand away.
"I'm Keagan, and don't ever touch me." I hear laughter from a corner to see three guys laughing. Keagan guesses she ruined this Aaron guy's streak of getting with any girl he wants. The three guys were playing pool. Keagan loves the game; maybe they would be nice enough to spare a match. She walks over.
"Spare a game?" She asks. They look to her, lust burning in the blonde one's eyes as he looks her body up and down.
"Are you sure about that?" The blonde guy walks up to her. "I don't lose." He smirks and she smirks back.
"I've got about fifty bucks in my pocket, take it or leave it." False, she does not have any money with her, though Keagan, herself never loses.
"Ooh we've got a gambler here." He walks back over to grab Keagan a pool stick and she takes it. The other two rack up the balls and stand in the corner to watch the game.
"Break away, babe."
"Try not to stare." She bends over to aim the ball. Knowing that she got stares from some boys in the bar. Keagan loves seducing boys and having them get nowhere with her. At her old school, she was considered a seducer to them, even if she never did anything. She strikes the ball and pockets two solids.
"Luck." Was all he said to her.
She goes for the next ball and shoots. For some reason she didn't make it in when she should have. The ball made an odd turn before going into the pocket. Keagan looks to the boy and tried searching for answers.
Have I found…? No, it's too early to determine. What luck do I have? Just moved into town and I've automatically found who I'm searching for. I'll have to keep playing to find out. If he wins, he may be one of the Sons of Ipswich. Not to sound cocky or anything but I never lose. If he wins, he must have cheated.
His turn and I watch carefully for what he does. He shoots; Keagan watches his eyes and see them flash a dark color. She gasps out loud.
So I have found them. If he's here then the rest should be also, maybe it's the two in the corner.
Ten minutes later…
The sound of the eight ball sinking in was lovely to Keagan's ears.
"Game. Pay up pretty boy." He sighs and gives her the money.
"I never got your name."
"…It's Keagan. Yours?"
"Reid." The other two walk up to us. "And this is Pogue and Tyler."
"Or as we call him, Baby Boy." Pogue says. Keagan smiles to each of them.
"Cute. I'm Keagan, Keagan Crewson." She says.
"Crewson?" Tyler says and she nods. "Are you new around here?" Tyler says.
"Yeah just moved in today. I'll be going to some school called Spenser."
"That's where we go!" Reid says excitedly.
"Really?"
"Cool. So why did you move here?"
"I'm…looking for some people." She turns her head to look for a clock and found that it was really late. "I got to get going. Thanks for the game…and your money. Bye."
"Yeah, we'll see you in school." She waves to them before heading out the door and home.

Tyler still looks on as she walks away.
"Is Baby Boy taking an interest in the new girl?" Pogue questions after watching Tyler watch Keagan walk away.
All Tyler did is walk away over to the bar.
"I was kidding."
"It's not that. Did you feel something strange about her, Pogue?"
"No."
"What's going on?" Says Caleb as he and Reid walk up to the finish the group they made.
"This girl," Tyler began.
"Did you knock someone up, Reid?"
"What? No, but I would love to be sleeping with her." He says with a smirk.
"Did you, Baby Boy?"
"No! Get serious here, Caleb."
"I am, what is it about this girl? First of all, who is the girl?" Caleb questions.
"New girl, name's Keagan Crewson. And I know that surname from somewhere, I just know it. It's just she had this aura about her, a really powerful one."
"I guess we'll find out more when school comes around."
