~I do not own the Covenant or any of the characters~

No one really knows how The Power came to be.

Not even the Book of Damnation recorded its beginning.

But those who mastered it have always been hunted.

In the middle of the 17th century, many

escaped the brutal Witch hunting in England

and France by coming to America.

As the brutal persecution of those with The Power

Spread throughout Massachusetts, the families of

Ipswich formed a Covenant of silence.

And for 300 years, it has kept them safe.

Until now.

All we know is that The Power comes from the five families: Danvers, Parry, Simms, Garwin, and Putnam, but the fifth family died out over 300 years ago during the Salem witch trials. And that the last ever recorded witch in the Book of Damnation also comes from the same family, the Putnam family, until me.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Samantha Ashlyn Simms and I am seventeen years old, I am the twin sister to Tyler "Baby Boy" Simms, and girlfriend of three years to Pogue Parry. Our other two brothers are my best friend Caleb Danvers and Reid Garwin. Let it be known that I was not planned, and it was even more of a shock when our families discovered that I also had The Power at my 13th birthday. But I won't bore you with my life story so where were we…ah yes it's time to get ready for the end of summer party at the Dells.

After the ever formal family dinner I rushed upstairs to change out of my new dark blue cocktail dress and into something a little more exciting, my dark blue low rise skinny jeans, a white baby doll with golden beading along the bust line, black gladiator heels, and the well worn black leather jacket I stole from my boyfriend. Heading over to my vanity mirror I put on eyeliner and my favorite red lip gloss. Running down the stairs I saw my Tyler waiting for me with the keys to his hummer in hand.

"You ready?" he asked, while giving me the once over to approve my outfit. Stupid overprotective brothers, not that I would have changed anyway.

"Yeah, where's Reid? I thought we were giving him a ride?"

"We were, but he called a few minutes ago and said he'll meet us at the cliffs" Tyler replied.

I just shrugged my shoulders and headed to the car, I got in the backseat knowing that Caleb would be up front if Reid wasn't with us, leaving me and Pogue the back seat.

After driving for a few minutes we pulled up in front of Danvers mansion seeing the boys standing over by Pogue's yellow Ducati.

When they were walking towards the car I couldn't help but stare at my boyfriend seeing how good he looked in his ripped jeans, muscle shirt, and leather jacket.

Getting into the car we all greeted each other with the usual fist pound, but when Pogue got into the back seat he immediately pulled me into a passionate kiss. We didn't even stop our impromptu make out session when Tyler oh so subtly coughed to get or attention. I don't know how long we kissed, when I got into his lap, or when Pogue's hands went under my shirt, but he next thing I knew was Caleb opening the door and letting the cold air in. I would have stopped then, but since Caleb and my brother like messing with me they pulled me out of the car and set me on my feet.

"What the hell guys!" I exclaimed. "I was going to stop after you opened the friggin' door!"

I looked over at Caleb and Tyler with hands on my hips and noticed there innocent expressions, too innocent if you ask me, but at that moment Pogue climbed out off the car and wrapped his arms around my waste and started kissing my neck. I moaned quietly in the back of my throat and turned around in his arms, while wrapping mine around his neck.

Lucky for Caleb and Tyler I was to busy to yell at them.

All too soon Pogue pulled away and wrapped an arm around my waist while we walked to the top of the cliffs over looking the party waiting to 'drop in'. We must have only been there for three minutes but it seemed so much longer when it was this cold, even Pogue was having trouble keeping me warm.

"Where the hell is Reid? We need to get down to the party." Caleb said.

Just as he pulled out his phone to call him we all turned when we heard footsteps behind us.

"What's up gents and lady?" Reid asked. "How's the party?"

"Don't know, just got here" answered Pogue while wrapping his arm around me a little tighter.

"Where were you, I was gonna pick you up, but you were MIA" Tyler stated.

"Had things to do" replied Reid while walking to edge of the cliff and observing the party below.

"More like someone" I muttered under my breath. But being Reid he heard me and just sent me a smirk, staring for a second to long at my chest, but decided to ignore my comment.

"Well hell boys…let's drop in," eyes flashing black as he stepped off the edge.

"Oh shit yeah" Tyler looked at us with a smile as he fell off the cliff backwards.

"TYLER" Caleb shouted, I understood why, he expected Reid to do that but not Tyler.

"Oh chill Caleb, its not like it gonna kill us…yet" Pogue said as both of our eyes flashed black and I hugged him close as we both jumped to the beach below.

As we landed and went over to where my brother and Reid were standing we heard something hit the ground, and knowing it was Caleb we kept walking.

As we got closer I could see my best girl friend Kate Tunney in the distance taking to a new girl with blond hair. She must be our new roommate I thought.

You see Kate and I have been friends since we started Spencer and have roomed together for three years so far, she's also been Caleb's girlfriend for the last two years. When we were about twenty feet away I could make out their conversation 'Who are they?', and Kate's slightly dazed reply of 'The Sons of Ipswich'.

"Hey Kate" I called.

"Hi Sami" she said as she walked over to Caleb and said "Hi baby, your late."

You see Kate has known our secret since last year when she accidentally caught Baby Boy using at Nicky's, but she would never say anything especially since she said she knew we were special, and the fact that Caleb let her meet his father a few months ago, so she understands that our power is not always a gift.

"Yeah, we had a thing with the family" he replied as he held her off the ground while giving her a sweet kiss. Aww.

"So, who's this?" Pogue asked as he pulled me back into his inviting chest while resting his chin on my shoulder.

"Oh I'm sorry, this is our new roommate Sarah, Sami, she just transferred in from a Boston public. Sarah this is Samantha Simms, her boyfriend Pogue Parry, Tyler Simms her twin bother, my boyfriend Caleb, and Reid…"she was suddenly cut off as Reid made his own introduction.

"Garwin, Reid Garwin" he said "you know Sarah was my grandmother's name you kinda remind me of her."

O yeah Reid comparing a girl to your seventy year old grandmother.

But as I looked over to Sarah to see what she would say she was looking directly at Caleb as she responded.

I looked over to Kate to see if she noticed and apparently she did because she was sending the new girl a glare that could kill. Pogue noticed me stiffen slightly in his arms and followed my gaze and being the smart man he is caught on immediately and nudged Tyler who nudged Reid.

After everyone figured out that this new girl wasn't going to give up we all walked away. But none of us got far as the DJ called out,

"Joey just called we got three cop cars headin' this way on Old Dell Road."

And just like that the party was over faster than last year, but at least we avoided a run in with bitchy Kira Snider and her ass of a boyfriend Aaron Abbott.

While we were all running through the forest Caleb asked Kate if she needed a ride but she said, "I got a ride with Sarah" with a grimace on her face.

"So will I see you at the dorms?" Caleb asked her.

"No, I think I'm just gonna crash but I'll see you tomorrow morning baby." He gave her a quick kiss and watched as she climbed into Sarah's car. Climbing into Baby Boy's hummer Sarah opened her door and yelled,

"My car won't start." When she said this Reid just turned around and flashed us all that cocky smirk of his.

"Night's not over yet boys" he said. Turns out it doesn't matter to Reid if everyone else think she's a total man stealer; he just wants to get into somebody's pants.

"REID GET BACK HERE." Caleb yelled, you could tell one day Reid's gonna get an earful for being so careless when it comes to his using.

"Hey man it's his life, if he wants to use then it's his deal." Pogue said while wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"Yeah but he can't just look at the car, he needs to touch something this time." I said.

As all of this went on Reid propped the hood and looked at the car, looks like I was right, and a few seconds later we all felt the tingle in our side when someone was using.

A few seconds later he closed the hood and called for Sarah to try it again, and gasp the car actually started. We could all hear the police sirens getting closer, and just our luck when Sarah and Kate drove off we were the last ones left in the forest.

"Move over Baby Boy, I'm driving." Reid said as he came over and pulled open the drivers side door.

"But it's my car" he retorted, and still the sirens got louder.

"Tyler, move over, now." I ordered my brother, when he did and Reid threw the car into drive we had about five seconds before we saw the flashing red and blue lights behind us.

Caleb turned his head and sighed, "Ok we have to pull over."

Reid looked into the rearview mirror and stated mockingly "Oh yeah that'll impress Harvard." It was Caleb's dream to go to Harvard so all he could do was sigh, but we all knew that we got to have some fun with that sigh.

"Cut across Marblehead, we might as well have some fun while were at it." I said while chuckling.

All the sudden Reid sped up and took a sharp right turn, throwing me into Pogue's lap because I wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

But I wasn't complaining because he just wrapped his arms around me waist and started to nip and kiss my neck, he was definitely leaving a mark.

When we came across a flat surface once again the cops finally figured out where we were and must have thought we couldn't have known about the cliff if we kept on driving so they started honking.

We were all starting to feel the rush of adrenaline when my brother asked if we were ready.

And one by one our eyes turned black as the night sky, except one, Caleb. I looked over at him with a smile when Pogue said, "Come on Caleb, its gonna take all of us."

Caleb allowed his eyes to flash black as well. Reid sped up to 80 mph when the cops honking became more urgent, but then he had to have the last words by yelling "HARRY POTTER. CAN. KISS. MY. ASS!!!!!"

And with that we had once second before we sailed off the cliff focusing on steadying the car and getting it behind the police officers now stopped car.

When we were sure they were distracted enough looking over the cliff we allowed the car to drop and watched them turn around looking like they had seen a ghost.

We sat there for a few seconds just laughing and coming down from our high when Reid changed gears and we went flying backwards and out of sight.

Too soon we were outside of the Danvers mansion once again with Caleb and Pogue getting out of the car after pumping fists with Reid and Tyler.

Tyler turned around and asked "Are you ready to head back to the dorms Sami?"

"Actually I was staying with Pogue tonight since I am not staying with the new girl."

I told him while walking over to where Pogue was sitting on the bike holding my black helmet with green and silver stripes.

"Oh no your not, I may not mind you dating, but you are not spending the night at your boyfriends house."

"Tyler you and I both know that I have spent the night there before and we both know that you trust me and that you trust Pogue…so back off ok."

"I'm not going to win this argument am I?"

"Not really, so I will see you tomorrow night when we go to Nicky's. Ok?"

"Ok, but I'm trusting both you and Pogue." I just nodded and give him and Reid a quick kiss on the cheek before heading over to Pogue and watching them drive off.

I gave him a passionate but sweet kiss before climbing on knowing that there was more to come within the hour.

"Let's go baby." He said, while speeding off down the road towards his apartment.
