The Children of Ipswich - New Story - Part 1

Each male member of the Covenant has a twin sister who serves as their anchor. As long as their sister is alive, the use of Magic does not harm the male even after Ascension. However, even after Ascending, they will not be granted their full power for as long as their sister lives.

Some have given into the Magic’s seduction and allowed their thoughts to turn dark and bring harm to their sister in order to reach their full power despite the consequences. Others were content with the lessened power and accepted things for as they are.

The Daughters from The Children of Ipswich

Tina Simms, Rayna Garwin, Parker Parry, and Carrie Danvers

The Children of Ipswich - Updated - Part 8 - The End

A disoriented Carrie awoke with a strong gasp, feeling as if she'd just emerged from being held under water. Her hands gripped the dirt and old hay upon the ground as she coughed before finally catching her breath. Carrie had no idea what had happened – one second she was standing with Sarah near the others and the next she was…wherever the hell she was. When her eyes finally adjusted to the darkness around her she realized her location; Putnam Barn.

Caleb was taking even more offense to his mother's words. "You don't trust me? You don't trust that I won't kill my sister?"

"I trusted that your father wouldn't kill your Aunt Wendy and you know what happened!" Evelyn adjusted her robe as she returned to her seat and refilled her glass. "Those Powers you and your friends got when you turned thirteen are nothing compared to what you'll get when you Ascend, but even then it won't be everything. It won't be full Power. The seduction for more Power will take hold just like it did with your father and his father. And I will be damned if I let it happen to you!"

Evelyn took Carrie's hands and squeezed them. "Then we'll go to your father." She saw the instant 'no way' look on Carrie's face and answered it before her daughter said a word. "I know, but listen to me. If your father gives you his Power and you join with Caleb then you will be strong enough to protect yourselves and the rest of the Children."

Carrie couldn't believe her mother was suggesting that, knowing if Power was given away then so was their life. She couldn't even imagine her father agreeing to it anyway. "Even if father would do that, who knows what would happen with the seduction…"

"Did you know someone was Using on Parker last night?" It seemed like something she'd have mentioned if to no one else but Pogue.

Pogue shook his head because he didn't know. "No. She never said a word, but she never really does." He felt like a failure as a brother in that moment because he's supposed to protect her from anything and everything. "I'm getting answers from Tina now."

Carrie side-stepped to keep him from bursting into Nicky's. "After what just happened I think we all need to take a breather. We're all stressed and worried. No matter how many times we make it clear that a Son will never give into the seduction and take it out on a Daughter, that doesn't mean it will never happen and it's scary as hell. I gave into that fear but we can't. We can't let that fear keep us from finding out what's going on, okay?"
