Chapter 1

The darkling and a brotherly talk.

Ryan Danvers looked at his alarm clock which flashed 6:30 am. He had been awake since midnight. He didn't know that the thing that had woken him up had also woken his brother Caleb up. Ryan intended on asking Caleb about the darkling but did not want to wake him. So he had lain in bed not able to go back to sleep. Thankfully he had had a little rest the day before. He dreaded getting up but he knew he had to. He had to let the rest of the sons know of the darkling he had seen last night. He got up and walked to his closet deciding on what to wear. Caleb always teased him about how many clothes he owned but he preferred to have too many clothes as opposed to not having any at all. As he stood there debating what to wear he couldn't help but ask himself what he thought Reid would like. Only Caleb knew that Ryan was gay and had a huge crush on Reid but he didn't care because he himself was gay and had a crush on Tyler but nobody including Ryan knew about this. Ryan finally decided on a tight black shirt which would accentuate his tight abs and a pair of baggy blue jeans. As soon as he had his outfit he headed to the shower. As soon as he had finished his shower, fixed his hair, and was dressed he headed towards Caleb's room. Hopefully Caleb was awake.

Caleb just laid their on his bed. He had heard Ryan get up but he was dreading talking to him about the darkling because he figured that Ryan hadn't seen it, but he knew he would have to talk to him about it so he got up and went to his closet and started getting dressed. He was just putting his pants on when he heard a knock. That was weird he thought, Ryan didn't usually knock unless something was wrong.

"Come in" Caleb said as he buttoned up his jeans. In came Ryan who looked like he hadn't slept at all last night. Caleb knew he must have looked the same.

"Hey what's up. Why did you knock you know don't care if you come in."

" I know its just that I was nervous and I wasn't sure if you were up or not. But I knew I had to tell…"

"Is this about why you didn't sleep last night."

"How'd you know I didn't sleep"

"Well I could tell by your face and the fact that you never knock unless something is bothering you.'

"I take it you didn't sleep last night either."

"No, I didn't. I had just fallen into a deep slumber last night when I was woken by a darkling and the feeling that someone had been using."

"That is the same reason I didn't sleep as well and I couldn't figure out who was using. I mean I know it wasn't you or me. So that only leaves Pogue, Reid, and Tyler."

"I would have to say Reid for two reasons. One he loves to use. Two he is always playing tricks on us."

"Normally I would agree with you Caleb, but I don't think it's Reid and the reason has nothing to do with me having the hots for him. I don't know if you noticed it or not but the power felt different like the person had already ascended and only one of us has ascended."

"I didn't notice it but like you said only one of us has ascended. So I would say your probably right but I still think we ought to talk to Reid about it and make sure."

"Okay Caleb but on one condition."

"And what would that be Ryan."

"That I be the one to ask him."

"Okay but may I ask why you want to be the one to talk to him."

"Well I know I am usually silent when you talk to him but you two always seem to get into a fight when you talk to him and it puts Pogue, Tyler, and I in the middle and it also makes Reid mad at me because he thinks I agree with you all the time. And I don't want Reid mad at me just because were brothers and he's mad at you. I am not trying to sound mean or like I am defending Reid and because I know you care for him like you care for the rest of us, but I actually care a lot about Reid, like you care a lot about Tyler, and it hurts me every time he gets mad at me because of him thinking that I am siding with you because you're my brother."

"Ok"

"Wait what did you say about Tyler."

"I uh said that I cared a lot about Reid like you care a lot about Tyler."

"How did you know that I cared a lot about Tyler."

"It's kind of obvious to me because every time you look at Tyler your eyes soften and you get this look like your in some far off place. It's the same as the look I get when I look at Reid. Also you can never seem to keep a girlfriend for very long. Like take Sarah for instance yeah I know you just met her last night but I can tell she is not your type. And don't ask me how I know what your type is because if you can't figure it out by now then you are not as smart as I thought you were."

"Well of course I know how you know my type Ryan it is kind of obvious I mean we do live together."

"Ok, Ryan I think we should make some decisions now about where were going to meet and who is going to call who.

"Well Caleb I think you should decide where to meet and I also think you should call Pogue because he is your best friend. I'll call Tyler and Reid after it is decided where we should meet and after I call our aunts in San Francisco."
"Ok I have two questions. One is why should I decide where to meet? And two is why are you calling in our aunts in San Francisco."

"Well to answer your first question. I think you should decide because you are kind of like the leader."

"I don't think so I mean your older than I am and your stronger than the rest of us."

"I know I am older. Age doesn't make a difference. As for the power the only reason I am stronger than the rest of you is because I have ascended, but after you ascend Caleb you will be the most powerful. I'll be stronger than the rest still but not you."

"But you also are not giving yourself enough credit Ryan. I mean you can move things with your mind without using."

"I forgot if I told you about our aunts in San Francisco."

"Well you've told me a few things but what does your telekinesis have to do with our aunts in San Francisco?"

"Well I need you to promise me something Caleb."

"What's that Ryan?"

"I want you to promise me that you won't act like I grew three heads or something."

"I promise I won't."

"Ok this might sound weird but my aunts in San Francisco are witches. They are descendants of a woman named Melinda Warren. Before Melinda was burned at the stake she had a premonition and she told the crowd that every one of her descendants would keep getting stronger and stronger until three sister were born. These sisters would each have one of Melinda's powers whether it be premonition, telekinesis, or the ability to freeze time. These sisters would be known as the charmed ones. My mother was one of the charmed ones but she was killed shortly after I was born and before she died she told her younger sister Piper that if something should happen to her that she should contact a Mrs. Evelyn Danvers. When she called mom she couldn't figure out why Piper was calling her. At the time She didn't know Piper from Adam but my biological mom Prue was already one step ahead and told Piper that when she called that tell her a code word and that word was Ipswich. When Piper told mom the code word mom asked where she heard it from. Piper told her about what Prue told her to do. After she was finished mom asked her how she knew Prue. Piper told her that she was Prue's sister. As they talked mom told Piper exactly what Prue told her to do should Prue die and that was that Prue wanted her raise me as her own and that she would always be family. So that's what happened."

"You didn't ever tell me that."

"And I'm sure you remember when all of us where little and we would go to San Francisco and stay for a few weeks. Those times when something seemed out of place or the aunts seemed on edge. That was because they didn't want us to get hurt or for You, Pogue, Tyler, Reid, or I to see the horrors they faced on a daily basis."

"Now you know where the telekinesis comes from and Now will answer your question about calling them. I think they need to know and see if they have heard anything and also I'm not sure if you remember or not but we have to meet Wyatt and Chris and I wanted to find out where to meet them."

Caleb looked at his clock. It was 8:30 they had been talking for an 1hour and 45 minutes. Caleb was glad that they had talked. It brought them all the more closer. Every since they were little Caleb and Ryan had been close. So when Ryan's telekinesis had started, shortly after Tyler turned 13 when all the sons of Ipswich received there first taste of the power they were born with, their mom told Ryan she had something to tell him. Ryan had insisted on Caleb being there, for which Caleb was glad because he wanted to be their for his older brother incase something was wrong. So she told both Ryan and Caleb about Ryan being adopted which had made their bond stronger. Since then they had started to make sure that they sat down at least twice a week and talk about anything.
