Abilene Danvers is the twin sister to Caleb. The women in the covenant draw their magic from the four elements. The nature of their magic doesn't age them. The men in the covenant have a magic that will slowly drain their life if they overuse. O...
Shivering Abilene Danvers closed her eyes letting her power flow through her till she felt warmth return to her fingers and toes. Reopening her eyes, she smiled to herself; she loved being a literal witch.
She was a descendent of one of the five original settlers of Ipswich, Massachusetts who had come to the small town to escape prosecution during the Salem witch trials. The families had formed what they called The Covenant and for 300 years four out of the five families had lived amongst the town of Ipswich in peace.
She, her twin brother, and four of their friends, who were also descendants, at thirteen received only half their powers. At eighteen when they would ascend was when they got their full powers. Abilene only had one more week to wait.
Standing at the top of a cliff with her brother and friends she looked down on Spenser Academy's annual back to school party. Every year before the start of school the inhabitants of Ipswich Massachusetts' most elite prep school would gather at what they called "The Dells" a secluded portion of beach to dance and party all night long.
"Where is he?" her brother, Caleb complained.
"I don't know," Tyler Simms responded.
"He does this every time," Pogue Parry reminded them.
"Abilene, you're the only one he'll respond to. Reach out and see if you can find him," Dakota Parry suggested.
Sighing Abilene walked to the edge of the woods and took a deep breath as she closed her eyes.

Clearing her mind, she reached with her power to locate the final member of their group. Finding him she nudged his magic with hers till he opened for her, and she could hear him in her head.
Opening her eyes she turned back to her friends, "He's coming," she told them. Jumping slightly when icy fingers found their way to her hip Abilene turned her head slightly to look over her shoulder, "Not yet," Reid Garwin whispered in her ear.
"You're a pig," she stated, pushing him away. "I can't help it. You know what it does to me when I feel your magic with mine," he responded, smirking at her.
"Can you not, with my sister, right in front of me?" Caleb huffed, glaring at the two.
"Dude where were you? I thought you were getting a ride with us," Tyler questioned. "I had errands to run," Reid answered vaguely. "Yeah, what's her name?" Abilene snarked at the blonde.
"Oh, Abby don't be jealous. You know you're the only one for me," Reid retorted, linking his arm with hers and pulling her towards the edge of the cliff, "How's the party looking?" he questioned, looking down at the lights below.
"Don't know we were waiting on your ass," Pogue responded.
"Well shit. What do you say we drop in?" Reid said, looking down at Abilene with a mischievous smile. Grinning Abilene wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his around her waist.
