Summary: Natalya Danvers is a powerful witch. Her brother, Caleb, doesn't know and another of the Sons is in love with her!
Chapter 1: A Great Realization!
A young girl of about 15, with long brown hair that went to just above her knee, and sapphire eyes, was walking down the street towards Danvers Manor, the place where she grew up with her brother, Caleb. She was tall and thin. She looked like she could be a supermodel. As she walked up to the door, she took a big breath and knocked. The door was answered by Caleb and her's mother.
"Natalya! Honey! I was so worried about you!" she said, lovingly, giving the girl a hug.
"Hey, Mom! Who was at the door?" came a voice from behind the door.
"Hi, Caleb," Natalya said, "Long time, No see!"
"Natalya. It's good to see you, little sister," Caleb answered, giving her a hug after his mother let her go.
"Yo, Caleb! What's going on, Dude?" asked three familiar voices. Then three looked at the girl in Caleb's arms and gasped. It was a face that they hadn't seen in years, since she turned 12.
After Caleb let her go, Natalya turned to them and said, "Hey guys! Did ya miss me?" as they ran and gave her a group hug.
"Okay. I take that as a "yes"," she laughed as her legs were about to give in.
"Take that as a big "yes"," Pogue said, pulling Reid and Tyler off of her.
"While it's great to see all of you," Natalya said, "but there's something I need to talk to Caleb and our mom about … alone. I'm pretty sure the rest of you will hear about it soon enough."
Caleb, their mom, and Natalya then walked into the dining room and sat down at the table. They were quiet until Natalya broke the silence.
"First, I need to tell you that I'm sorry for disappearing on you like that, it was necessary," she said, "Mom, I think it's time that you tell Caleb."
"I don't know what you're talking about, Dear," she said, with worry and fear in her voice.
Standing up, Natalya said, "If you don't tell him, I will! Caleb, when I was 12, I gained powers similar to yours, but different." The look on his face was very hilarious.
"What does this mean?" he asked.
"It means that Natalya is one of what is known throughout the history of our family as the Sisters of Ipswich," their mom said.
"But I thought the powers were to only go to the first-born son," Caleb said, confusion plain on his face.
"That's true, but it's always been a secret from the Sons of Ipswich about the Sisters of Ipswich," Mrs. Danvers said, "Your grandfather knew about them and he told me about them. Powers were also granted to the second-born daughter as well. Their powers are different and are made to protect and combine with the Sons of Ipswich, and their powers are that of the elements. Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. Do you know your element, Natalya?"
"Fire," Natalya answered, "We, Sisters, gain a bit of our power when we're 12, but we ascend when we turn 16, because our powers differ from the Sons and we don't age as the Sons do."
"I gonna have to tell the others about this, you do realize that, Natalya," Caleb said.
"Of course, as I said, they'll find out soon enough, but you might wanna have their sisters come too. It concerns them too," Natalya said. Later after Caleb, Natalya, and their mother left the dining room, Caleb called Pogue, Reid, and Tyler and told them to call their sisters, Cameron, Tamara, and Marley. When the three girls got there, the Sons of Ipswich had a meeting with their sisters.
"First of all, welcome back, Natalya. Second, I found out a long kept secret that's been kept from all of us, except maybe the girls. Guys, our sisters are witches, like us," Caleb addressed the Sons and their sisters.
The looks on the other three Sons made Natalya want to smile. They were totally shocked but their sisters, Cameron, Pogue's sister, who looked a lot like her older brother, Tamara, Reid's sister, who was blonde and green eyed, and Marley, Tyler's sister, who was red haired and brown eyed, didn't look shocked.
"We are the Sisters of Ipswich," Natalya said, "Our powers are different than yours. Ours are centered on the elements, Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. We gain a bit of our powers at the age of 12, and we ascend at 16. But after we ascend, and we use our powers, we don't age, like you do. We have these powers to protect and combine with yours."
"Cameron, why didn't you tell me about this?" Pogue asked his little sister.
"Dad made me promise not to," Cameron said, "and he made the others swear not to tell the others too. The only one he didn't get to was Natty;" using Natalya's nickname, "because Natty disappeared around the time that the rest of us got our powers."
"Which was a good thing," Natalya said, "Knowing that my brother's 18th birthday was a few weeks ago, I know he's ascended already."
"Yeah, and since you're 15 and your birthday is in two days, and the Sisters ascend at 16, you haven't yet," Caleb said.
"Yep," Natalya said.
"That means that she's the oldest Sister," Marley said, "which means that she has to be our leader. You're ascending in two weeks aren't you Camcorder?" using Cameron's nickname.
"Yeah," Cameron said. Natalya was the oldest, followed by Cameron, Marley who was a month younger than Cameron, and Tamara who was a month younger than Marley. Natalya looked at Tamara's brother, Reid, who was staring at her with passion in his eyes. Reid was always the playboy of Caleb's group of friends, but he's always had the hots for Natalya since before Natalya's disappearance.
"Oh, and a one more thing. When we use, our eyes become the color of our element," Natalya said, and to prove it, she closed her eyes and when she opened them, they were completely red. Then Cameron, Tamara, and Marley did the same, but Cameron's were green, Tamara's were white, and Marley's were blue.
"By the looks of it, Cameron is the Earth Sister, Tamara is the Air Sister, and Marley is the Water Sister," Natalya said, "while I am the Fire Sister."
"Man, I didn't think my little sis would have powers, too," Reid said, not taking his eyes off of Natalya, and Caleb noticed.
"Well, we all didn't know," Caleb said, "and I will thank you to take your eyes off my sister."
Hearing Caleb say that made Natalya smile. She didn't think that after all this time, Caleb would still be protective of her, especially when it came to Reid. Reid had always had a crush on Caleb's little sister, and when she disappeared, his being a playboy became worse.
Meanwhile, in the ruins of Putnam Barn, the body of a young man rose out of the ruins. He looked towards the town of Ipswich. He smiled and walked toward the town, laughing to himself. It was then that Natalya got a bed feeling. It made her feel weak. Then a voice popped into her head and it said, "If you think that you can protect him from me, you will be sadly mistaken, My Dear Danvers! Ha Ha Ha!!!!!"
"Who are you?" Natalya shouted in her head.
"Just ask your dear brother," it said and didn't say anything again. Natalya had a bad feeling that something had happened when Caleb had ascended.
"Hey, Caleb," Natalya said, "What happened when you ascended?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Caleb asked. He didn't really want to get on the subject of Chase Collins, especially with his little sister.
"Just tell me. You know I won't let it go until you tell me," Natalya said. He knew way to well that she wouldn't let it go. As far as Natalya was concerned, if it was Caleb's problem, it was Natalya's problem as well.
"A transfer student at our school, Chase Collins, turned out to be the descendant of the Putnam Family and he tried to get me to will him my power," Caleb said, "We ended up fighting and I won. We never found his body."
"I heard about the two students who ended up dead," Natalya said, "It was one of the reasons I decided to come home."
"Oh," Caleb said, as he and the others headed out of the basement, "What school will you be going to, Little Sister?"
"Don't you know! I'll be going to Spencer, just like you, Nii-san!" Natalya said. She loved using Japanese suffixes and other things when she spoke.
"Cool!" Caleb said with a smile. The Natalya turned to their mother and said, "Oka-san, I'm going to bed. My first day of school is tomorrow and I want to be well rested. Good Night, All!" and walked up the stairs. Reid's eyes followed her progress up the stairs, as Caleb walked up to him.
"You still have a crush on my little sister, don't you, Reid?" he asked.
"So what if I do?" Reid answered, "I better be getting home. My old man gets really mad when I'm not home on time.", and left, followed by Tyler and Pogue.
"Tomorrow's going to be a fun day," Caleb said, before bidding his mother good night and going upstairs and to bed. "I'm just glad that Natalya's home," he thought as he fell asleep that night.
That night he had a dream.
"He was at Putnam Barn and Chase Collins was coming towards him, firing blasts at him, but none of them were touching him. He looked towards his left and saw Natalya using her powers to protect him. Her strength seemed to be waning and Chase seemed more powerful than he was before. Then Reid came and started firing blasts at Chase, saying, "No! I lost her once; you're not going to take her away from me!" Then Natalya's "Sisters" arrived and started to help her to protect him and Reid. Chase then broke the power shield that Natalya and the Sisters had around him and Reid and attacked Natalya, who with very little strength left, was able to dodge and try to attack him, who laughed, and said, "You're so weak. You can't destroy me!" and attacked her again, but this time she didn't have the strength to dodge, and it hit her square in her chest, making the light leave her eyes and she fell." After that, Caleb sat up straight in his bed quickly. He was sweating and breathing heavily.
"It was just a dream, a bad dream," Caleb whispered to himself and started to get ready for school. Later, at school, he and the other Sons found out that Natalya, only 15, was in their class. She had always been smarter than anyone in her class and was pushed up a few levels. By the look on his face, Caleb could tell that Reid was happy about this. No doubt it gave him more chances to stare at her, because her seat was in front of his.
