Flashback
Long ago, in the town of Ipswich a covenant of silence was created between the 4 families of Danvers, Parry, Garwin, and Simms. Each family had The Power, and only every line produces only one, the eldest male who is to recieve The Power at the age of 13 and ascend at 18 and after the age of 18 everytime he uses his powers bits of his life are taken away. Every generation of the Covenant has only had one child, except for on the day of May 25th, 1991 the day my brother Tyler and I were born...today is May 25th the day Tyler gets his powers.
"Mama what time is everyone coming over?" I asked in fluent Spainish, it was one of 7 languages my mother had taught me and my brother Tyler, but it was one of my favorites because the r's were fun to roll.
"They'll be here any minute love," She answered back in French. Another language which i loved it sounded so light and romantic it was the one i used when i was happy.
"OK,"i said in English, i heard the thunder rumble and roar outside which made me fear for my brother... i had seen Caleb, Reid, and Pouge all get their powers and they confided with us that it hurt for a moment but you feel invinciable afterwards. I was nervous as i knew the fathers were, they weren't sure what would happen to me since i shouldn't be born. I faintly heard Tyler open the door to Reid, Caleb, and Pouge who all gave Tyler his birthday punches.
"Where's Elle? She needs her birthday punches too," I heard Reid call throughout the Simms manor
"No i dont!" I called back giving away my position, smiling and walking into the foyer were i greeted my best friends and their parents. I was in an airy white sundress and sliver gladiator sandals, my black curls were flowing to my waist were they rested peacefully, and my wide violet eyes watched everything in wonder.
"Babydoll, are you nervous?" Caleb asked after hugging me and kissing me on the cheek, i shook my head even though i was ready to barf. He gave me a skeptical look, and i shrugged. I looked at all the fathers, all wore equally troubled expressions. I sighed, wondering what was to come. Another defeaning crack of thunder shook the manor, shaking the chandelier so hard that Reid pulled me out of the way in case it fell.
"Its time," My father said, and our party moved outside. Tyler was older so he went out into the field first i looked at the time, 12:12 Happy Birthday Tyler i was born at exactly 12:25 so i am going to be waiting for a bit. Suddenly a bolt of lightening flashed down and hit Tyler i heard his cries and screams and like i did for all of my other brothers, i tried to help them. Caleb and Pouge made a wall of protection infront of me so i wouldn't go get hurt while Reid firmly gripped my tiny waist with ease. Then the screams stopped and Tyler was beside us his eyes flashing from their normal blue to pitch black, and i realized he was using. We all ran inside and into the kitchen and waited eagerly for the next 13 minutes to end to see the result. My mother was making coffee as the rain battered the Manor in fruitless attemps to knock it down. At 12:20 the families went outside, standing on the patio under the gazebo. I looked out at our feild of a backyard and my dad pushed me forward a bit. I looked back at him scared, he nodded and pushed me again. I collected myself slipped my shoes off and walked into the rain facing the unknown. I gulped as the sky began to swirl i was sure i was going to recieve the same fate as my brothers' but no something else was to come. I looked back at the families who were looking at me with interest as if i was some circus freak, Caleb looked seldom as he always does, Pouge looked anxious, Tyler looked skeptical, and Reid looked like he wanted to run out and save me.
The sky was swirling as thunder cracked, 3 bolts of lightening struck around me, I screamed in fear as they started to spin then going so fast it appeared to be a wall of fire around me, i felt myself getting higher as the fire turned into wind forming a tornado, all the while i was screaming and crying. Then it appeared as if the tornado had ripped the earth from the ground which was now spinning around me like a wall of green and brown, then finally water replaced the earth and it spun around me like i was stuck in a water spout. But as i was screaming throughout the course of my cocoon transformation, i could feel power surging through my veins my body felt as if it was being reborn and a new feeling came with the new element: fire, air, earth, and water. As i felt myself being put on the ground, i felt lethargic as my cocoon dispersed and i remember Reid running towards me as I fell into his arms and passing out.
When i awoke, i was in my room, i felt brand new and great, i remember running downstairs full speed, to see the families sitting in the family room fire crackling, as they talked. No one noticed me as i krept up on them.
"But what did it do to her?" Reid asked he was pacing nervously, cracking his knuckles contiuously, as he did wen he was anxious.
"Reid we've been over this a million and one times we won't know until she wakes up but then again.." Joesph Garwin started he couldn't finish and say 'she may never wake up' because that wouldn't be an option to them..i was their baby girl nothing and no one would stop hurt me. I stepped into the light to make my prescences known and coughed so they could hear me. The mothers gasped, and the fathers stood shocked. Reid was the first one to get to me and he hugged me so tight i could barely breathe, he was followed by Tyler, Caleb and then Pouge and I couldn't breathe if i tried i was gasping for air wen suddenly the air flowed through me and i could breathe although the group hug was far from over.
"Ellette," My dad rarely used my full name only in serious matters or wen i was in trouble. The boys released me and my dad stared at me, "What did you just do?"
"Nothing, i don't know i couldn't breathe and then i did,"
"But how?" Why is he doing this? I can't explain it just happened...
"I. Dont. Know." I said getting angry, the fire popped and got bigger and louder, i felt the same power i did in the cocoon of lightening but it was different somehow maybe this version was enduced by anger somehow?
"Ellette, this is extremely important tell me what you just did!" he yelled
"WELL I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID OK? I DIDNT DO ANYTHING!" I yelled and the power surged as the fire got brighter the air in room blew as if a window was open and the faucets could be heard from the kitchen running.
"Yes you did." He insisted smiling
"NO. I. DIDNT." Everything happened at once the air blew hard and the water floated through the air and was in my hands, the fire got so big it threatened to spill over and onto the rug, the earth shook with force. but then i stopped my anger in its track, the fire calmed a bit, as did the earth, the water was still in my hands a floating blob and air had stopped moving at such a quick pace. Then it dawned on me: water, fire, earth, air. The four elements. "I know what my power is... I control the elements." I said with a smile looking at my water blob.
End Flashback
I sat on the edge of the cliff that over looked the dells the party was raging below as i thought of the day i first recieved my elemental powers. I was playing with some dirt pebbles making them spin and turn occansionally hitting Pouge in the back but you know who cares..it could have been Baby Boy... We had been waiting here for more than an hour for Reid...jackass was always late.
"Hey fellas, Babydoll," He sauntered in, giving me a wink which i returned.
"Where were you i stopped by to give u a lift." Tyler asked
"Had things to do," Reid answered back
"More like a girl?" I asked Reid smiled
"How the party?"
"Dunno, just got here," Pouge said Pouge, Pouge, Pouge too kind for your own good. Reid grabbed my waist as i stood at the edge of the cliff.
"Well hell boys, lets drop in." He said his eyes turning black as the night and i clung to him using the air to give us more of a rush as we fell to the beach.
