Okay, this is my first Covenant Fanfiction...please don't judge evilly...
I'd like to point out that the first paragraph...up to the 300 years part belongs to the writers of the Covenant, but the rest belongs to me.
R&R...flames are for campfires

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 through Massachusetts, the families of Ipswich formed a Covenant of silence. And for 300 years it has kept them safe. Hidden from those treacherous enough to try and harm them. But it can't stay that way forever.
There was a problem, an imperfection in the bloodlines. These families of Ipswich were some of the most powerful warlocks in the world. Every generation, the bloodlines produce only one, the eldest male. As stated in the Book of Damnation only that male may inherit The Power. As stated in the Book of Damnation, bloodlines may produce only one.
There were never any laws telling them what to do if the bloodlines broke. If one turned into two, and the age of thirteen was no longer significant in the lives of the offspring. No one told them what to do if something changed, and their entire way of thinking was diminished without second thought.
So imagine their surprise, when I was born, not only the second in the bloodline of the Danvers family, but a girl. At first they thought me insignificant, simply an abnormality, for certainly the bloodlines would never betray them. When my thirteenth birthday came and passed with no impending signs of power, they confirmed the fact that I was just a girl, Caleb's little sister. It was on my fourteenth birthday that my powers were granted, and my world changed forever.
And so the abnormality passed. I was no longer Caleb's innocent but utterly useless little sister. I was no longer the daughter of James the addicted over user.
I was the first Daughter of Ipswich, a title not to be taken lightly.
