They drove in Reid's car out into the country, not too far from outside of town. He parked in front of an old house that Anne had seen in books from the 16th century. She wondered what this had to do with anything, the house seemed familar, but she wasn't sure why.
"This is the Ipswich colony house," Reid said straight out. "It was where 5 families used to come to gether to preform spells and enchantments. They orginally came from Europe, but then during the Witch Hunts, they were forced to come to America. That's when the Witch Trials started. They were hanging people who really weren't witches, and letting the people who were go. The only way to hide from being discovered, was to never tell anyone else that you had The Power. If you did, they would be serious punishments" he paused then continued, "it's not as serious now as it was then. We just get a slap on the wrist, while back in the days, someone could be sentenced to death...which was to be...burned". He looke at Anne, "only one other had told someone about the power. Sarah Hastings. Your Great Grandmother. She was burned by the colony when she told her best friend, Anne Proctor, who and what she really was. When the covenant found out, they made up stories about her doing witchcraft, and told the Reverend. Only thing was, she was in love. With my Ancestor. Orville Garwin. The man you see in your dreams".
"What? I don't understand.." Anne said, and got closer to him.
"Anne, when your with me, how do you feel? Honestly..." he asked looking straight into her eyes, knowing how confused and upset she must be.
"Happy, like nothing matters now that I'm with you. The world doesn't spin right when I'm not with you, and I feel like someone actually cares and loves me" he said looking back into his eyes. He seemed flattered.
"That's how Sarah felt when she was with Orville. Says so in 'The Book'." He said opening his car door, "come in, I'll show you".
He took her inside the house, which was all old and spider webs were all over each corner. Reid lead her into a small room down under the house. It was surrounded by candles, and had a book shelf on the side. It had four seats all around a circle, like those were peoples places.
"We need some light," he said. He stopped for a second, and Anne saw his eyes turn completely black and all the candles in the room lit themselves.
"Wow," she said and he brought towards him a book. The cover was leather and it read on it 'Book of Damnation'. "This book, holds all the history of our bloodlines in it. Yours included. Your bloodline was the 6th family, but since the book said Sarah never had children, we assuemed it didn't exsist".
"By 'we' you mean?" Anne asked.
"Caleb, Pogue, Tyler and I. We all have 'the power' we can do things that no one else has. Since you're bloodline is half dead, I guess your powers came later", he said. "Have you ever made anything happen? Anything you couldn't explain?" he asked her.
"Only once, when my father left my mother and I. It was raining outside, and he had just walked out. I had heard him and my mother argue downstairs, and I was crying and sobbing. Then all of a sudden, my bed began to shake violently. The lights began to flicker and the windows slammed open, and the wind bursting into my room and everything flying. I got scared, but that made everything worse. My mother has never upsetted me since", Anne said.
"Well, that's because you're a witch..." he said.
A witch? Anne? That couldn't be...
