Hello! This is my new story, the witch of Ipswich! I do hope everyone would enjoy this one as much as I do, so enjoy!

Nocte 1 – The Meeting

No one really knows how The Power comes 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 through Massachusetts, the families of Ipswich formed a Covenant of Silence. And for 300 years, it has kept them safe.

Until now.

The 5th Son of Ipswich shows up last fall. Without anyone to guide him, he uses The Power till the point that he couldn't live without using it. Addicted, he wanted more power, and he forces his birth father to will his power to him.

Not satisfied with what he has, he attacks the remaining 4 Sons of Ipswich and threatens to kill their loved ones if they do not will to him their powers. Being the oldest in the group of Sons of Ipswich, Caleb is able to ascend and defeat Chase Collins after Caleb's father will to his son his powers, killing him effectively. Once a warlock has ascended, The Power will become their life, and once willed away, they would die. Chase Collin's body is nowhere to be found, and that appears to be the end of the story.

Sarah Wenham officially ends her relationship with Caleb Danvers, the most sought after bachelor in the Sons of Ipswich gang. Reasons? She couldn't stand the possibility of him getting addicted to his powers and turns into an old crone in less than 30 years, and all the powers and magic things are getting to her mind and she backed out of a wonderful relationship.

Everyone said she was stupid. Hell, even Kate says she's stupid, but everyone didn't know about the Ipswich's Witch story is true.

Now, Aeron Abbot is good looking, but sometimes he over thinks that he's the cutest one on campus and that all girls should just get onto their knees and beg him to fuck them. He smirks a lot, because that made him look good, and he curse a lot, because that made him feel good. He glares at the Ipswich boys, because he knows they're better than him, even if it's just a little, and he didn't like feeling inferior to them in this prestigious private academy.

"Ahh… oh… yes… no… no! Don't come inside me! I'll get pregnant! No!" Kira screamed, and as she rocked against the intensity of Abbot's naked hips driving into her open legs against the supply's closet, Abbot came inside her, spilling all his sperm inside her uterus and continues to rock against her hard.

"No! Ahh! Ahh! Fuck! Fuck! No! I don't wanna get pregnant! No!" Kira screamed, and Abbot unloaded for the second time.

After a good fuck with his girlfriend, Kira, in the supply's closet, Abbot zipped his trousers and kisses his girlfriend goodbye before moving onward to his class on the other side of the building. His girlfriend cried like a whore, and he dumped her there naked as she tries to gather herself together after she got fucked by her boyfriend. Class has started long before he and his girlfriend started their fiasco in the supply's closet, and that explains the lack of students and teachers in the corridors. Good, he thought to himself. He liked how quiet the school is. The sound of his shoes clicking against the corridor's floor made him feel important. With a sweep of his hand, he brushes his long hair to the back of his head and saw a girl walking down the hall.

That was also the time when his cock twitched towards her.

Well, well, well, Abbot thought to himself. That chick looks so lost. Maybe I should fill her up with…information…

"Good day, lovely," Abbot called out to her, flashing his killer smile and felt his heart beat a notch faster. Upon closer inspection, he gleefully noted that the girl is one hell of an adorable stud! "You look kinda lost here. Would you like some help?"

The girl was staring out at the beautiful expansive scenery of Spencer, immersed in lost memories while her breaths in the familiar pine-like scent surrounding the academy. The air is so fresh and everything is just so beautiful that she couldn't be bothered if she ever gets lost in here. The whole ground of the academy sends up sparks of tingling magic to her, welcoming her return after such a long while. Everything is so calm and peaceful until the voice of a cocky senior interrupted her thoughts.

Looking up, she is greeted with a cocky grin from quite a good-looking guy that seems to think he's a prince. From that kind of vibe, she knew what he wants from her, and she's not planning to entertain him in any way possible. "Not today, kind sir," she replied politely, hoping that it may brush him off from her trails. "Maybe next time."

Even while she talks, Abbot kept his eyes on her, his pupils sweeping her small body up and down with a growing grin. The more he looks at her, the more she felt like running. "I can show you around," he told her, one hand gesturing to the academy and preparing to guide her back to his sides.

The girl stepped away from his extended hand and shakes her head. "No thanks."

"Aww, come on," Abbot whined to the girl, not liking how she evades him. No girls reject Abbot, and certainly not an obvious newcomer. "Don't be such a party-pooper. It won't be long."

"Really," the girl nodded her head around, her heart started to pound frantically against her ribcage, warning her just how bad the situation is becoming. "I can find my own way. Thank you."

"Really, Barbie," Abbot said to her, grabbing one of her wrists and pulls her to him. "Don't defy me."

When Abbot make a move towards her, the girl shrinks back and manages to maneuver herself out of his grasps and prepares to take flight until she turns and slammed right into hard muscled wall. Surprised, the girl snapped her head and looked up.

Right into the warm brown eyes of another good-looking guy.

"Everything alright here?" Caleb asks her in a soft tone, noting her wide frightened eyes and her short nervous breaths. Hell, he could even see the pulse underneath her neck palpating against her near-transparent pale skin. Leaning down to her, he gently grasped her shoulders and spoke to her in a gentle tone, "What's wrong here?"

"Danvers," Aeron spat rudely at him, not liking his sudden appearance to save the girl he had planned to shag later.

"Erm…w-well…" the girl stuttered, grabbing a hold of Caleb's front coat. "This guy…"

"What happens with us is none of your business, Danvers," Aeron interrupted rudely and snapped at Caleb unhappily. He didn't like how the events are turning right into Caleb's good hands, and he knew if the girl spills anything out, then he'll be as good as dead meat. Before she could say anything, he'd better shut her up for good.

Something in what he had said made her angry. "Hey, mister," the girl snapped up, still trembling from the bad dark vibe he had felt from him when he touched her. That vibe alone had her shaken, and when he told the man holding her – Danvers – to leave 'them' alone, she snapped and turned around in Caleb's safe arms and tells him off. "There's no 'us' here. Don't think too highly about yourself. I don't even know who you are!"

Abbot could feel his anger bubbling right up from his heart and into his mouth. He hates bitchy girls, and when he gets them, he 'tames' them real good, like what he had done to Kira. "You better shut your mouth right about now, you little bit-"

"Oh. So you're the new student here," Caleb cuts across Abbot's words and turns her around to face him. He felt that it is better that her attention is focused on him rather than on that prick. "Hi. I'm Caleb Danvers. I am supposed to escort you to the Director's room today."

The girl stares up at him with her large doe-like eyes. Breathing a sigh of relief, the girl thanked Caleb while he leads her far away from Abbot.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Danvers," the girl said with much relief. "That guy's just plain creepy."

Caleb chuckled. "Please, Miss, call me Caleb. Mr. Danvers just sounds so…"

"Ancient?" the girl added for him.

That made Caleb laugh, "Something like that."

"I am Phaedra Sterling. By all means, you may call me Phaedra."

"Phaedra," Caleb repeated, rolling her name with his tongue. "That's another equally ancient and special name."

Phaedra laughed. "My parents love Greek. It means 'starlight' in that language."

"I like that," Caleb said to her, a wide smile on his lips when she, too, smiles back at him. "I'm sorry that you had to go through that-" Caleb points towards the corridor that Abbot just went through. "-for your first day at Spencer. It's not the kind of welcome party that we do for newcomers."

Phaedra stopped walking. "So what do you propose for newcomers?"

Caleb stopped walking as well and turned back to look at her. The sun finally appears from behind the grey clouds and rays of sunshine hits the grounds of Spencer. It was akin to giving life to the ground. The sun rays hits Phaedra and it was then he noticed just how beautiful she is under sunlight. Her shocking red hair and the stray curl running down the sides of her pale face looked as if they glowed under the sun. There are even wisps of gold in each strands of hair. Spencer forbids hair coloring, and he knew it by a feeling in his heart that it was a natural shade. Then there are her eyes; her wide, doe-like eyes. He couldn't properly determine what color it is, but when another ray of sunlight hits her, the dark emerald color becomes apparent to him. Combined with her red hair and dark emerald green eyes, it is such a unique color that for a moment, he stood there, blinded by the beauty that this girl possesses.

The girl gave him a blindingly beautiful smile and walks towards him, closing the little space they have and gave him a questioning look and smile. "So? Caleb? What do you propose we do for welcoming newcomers to Spencer?"

Caleb could barely hear her question. There was a buzz of sounds and wind blowing through, and all he could feel is the electric that passes from his mind right down to his fingertips. It was as if his mind is trying to tell him something that had eluded his thoughts. It was as if… it was as if… as if…

"We go to Nicky's to celebrate," Caleb said almost robotically. Phaedra looked up at him and smiles up.

"Nicky's still here!?"

"You know Nicky?"

"Yeah! I was the one who started to call him Nicky. Nicholas is just too much of a mouthful, and when I call him by his nickname, he laughs and…well, basically some other people heard me and started to call him Nicky too."

"I thought you transferred in from England?" Caleb said, blinking in surprise.

"I do," Phaedra inclines her head towards Caleb, her hair swinging marvelously around. "My parents are divorced. I lived with my mother until…well…she passed away quite a while back and my father calls me back here…"

"Oh, I'm sorry for that…" Caleb apologizes. Phaedra shocks her head.

"No. It's okay. It's a long while back since she passed away. I live with my father now. So I'll be staying around here," Phaedra said, tucking the stray hair to the back of her ear. It was such a sweet movement that Caleb couldn't help but to stare at her.

"Then… I'll see you tonight? At Nicky's? Or do you want me to come and fetch you?" Caleb said to her with a wide smile. Gods above, she is so adorable!

"Well, my address is here," Phaedra said to him, scribbling down the address in his Samsung Note 2. "Here you go, Maple Street No 1, Phase 3."

"Phase 3?" Caleb read the address. "That is the place where the Director lives!"

Phaedra smiles at him widely. Something about her reminds him about the Director… something in her eyes…

And her shocking red hair…

Phaedra Sterling…

"You're the Director's daughter!?" Caleb exclaims, and Phaedra shushed him up.

"Shh!" Phaedra said to him, covering his mouth with her hands. "I don't want anyone else to know about this…"

After she took off her hand, he repeated his question again. This time in a low tone. "You're the Director's daughter?"

"I am," she said to him with a small smile. "He is ill. He asks me to come back, and so I did. I am here to stay…"

"That's great!" Caleb said to her with a wide smile. "Then, I'll fetch you later? At 7p.m? Your house?"

"My house, yeah… cool… see you later…" she said to him with a small smile and tucked her hair behind her ears. She turns around, and did a little pirouette and smiles at him.

Caleb threw his fist in the air in a victorious way and laughs to himself. He may just have booked the most beautiful girl in the academy to a dinner at Nicky's…
