Okay guys. I woke up at eleven thirty at night with the idea for this story and had to write it down and take a shot. Let me know what you think. So please read and review. Yes it is a Caleb OC. The boy's too hot for his own good.

PS: The story picks up four years late at the party at the Dells in the beginning after the prologue.

"My dear, you must leave Ipswich now…before it's too late," the older woman stressed as she began packing a duffle bag with various articles of clothing that littered the thirteen year old girl's room.

"But Aunt Evelyn, what's going on," the doe eyed girl asked in fear. "Why do I have to leave now?"

"Because unless you want to lose you powers forever you must," she answered, helping the girl into her thick winter coat. It had begun to snow outside and she would need it.

"What about Ty and the boys. I have to say goodbye," she pleaded.

Evelyn let out a sigh. "I sorry dear, there isn't enough time for that. Caleb is downstairs thought. You can meet him before you leave but hurry."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I don't want to go," Caleb held on to the girl tighter, trying to prevent her form leaving.

"Aunt Eve says I have to," tears were trailing down the Ashlyn Simms's face. "I'm gonna miss you guys."

"But why do you have to leave," the brown eyed boy asked.

"I can't tell you that Cal but believe me I have no choice. I gotta go," she stressed the last words; hoping to convince the boy that she really had no choice in the matter. She couldn't tell him this was all happening because of the counsel or that she had powers. She had sworn secrecy to her Aunt Even and she couldn't break that promise to the only adult who had ever cared for her and taken care of her. "I'm sorry Cal, the cars waiting." She let go of his hand and turned to leave but a strong hand on her shoulder stopped her. Caleb turned her around and kissed her chastely on the lips; only briefly for a few seconds.

Ashlyn blinked in confusion; not sure that it really happened. She had always had a crush on Caleb but she never thought he'd feel the same way.

"Cal-," she began.

"I just wanted us to be each other's first kiss," he blurted out.

"Me too," she blushed.

"Here, take this," he placed something in her hands. She gasped when she saw what it was. In her palm was a gorgeous necklace; a silver clover charm on a think black thread. "It was suppose to be your birthday present but now it's so everyone knows that when you come back, you're my girlfriend…if that's okay with you," he blushed, looking down at the ground.

"I love it. Thank you and its okay with me," she said softly.

Just then Evelyn Danvers rushed into the room. "Ashlyn you have go now before your parents or someone else finds out that you're gone!"

"I'm coming Aunt Eve." She turned to Caleb and said, "Cal, don't tell Ty about your mom helping me leave or anything else about me leaving, okay,"

"What? Why, Ash," Caleb asked, confused.

"I don't want him to get caught up in this because of me," she admitted. "Just promise you'll take care of him and the guys for me okay?"

"I promise," hugged her one last time as he led her out into the cold winter night to the car that was waiting for her in the driveway. "But can I tell everyone you're my girlfriend now?"

"Yeah, you can," she giggled lightly. As Ashlyn sat in the car looking back at the home and the boy that she loved, she vowed that she'd return to Ipswich someday.

Caleb never heard from Ashlyn again after that night. She left no word on where to contact her or if she was eve allowed to speak to him and the sons again. Caleb repeated her words to her twin Tyler; telling him that she loved him and had to leave with no choice of her own in the matter. Years went by and she became forgotten. The sons started high and realized the perks of being the sole heirs to the founding families. Ashlyn Elizabeth Simms became a memory…a beautifully tragic memory.
