Prologue
Flashback "Noelle! Noelle!' a young redhead yelled.
"LILY!"
"Where are you Elle?"
"Right here!" a young brunette said, in tow with a blonde and two other brunettes. They all embraced as Noelle whispered "Best friends forever, we'll never be apart…right?" The other girls nodded their heads in agreement and smiled. End Flashback
Noelle Carvin sat, dressed in all black, wiping the tears out of her hazel eyes, as she thought about that night, when they were in the fourth grade. They had been best friends for as long as she could remember, it was the five of them Noelle Carvin, Lily Blasé, Danielle Hewitt, Maria Karzai and Anne Kaler. They were pushed together as toddlers, because they shared a gift, a burden or a blessing, depending how you looked at it. They were the Daughters of Salem, burdened with tremendous powers at the tender age of three. Their mothers were the daughters before that, and all their other women ancestors before them.
Now it was only four of them left, to hold up their Daughters of Salem legacy, and maintain their secret.
Noelle Carvin, the loudest of the group, was always one to speak her mind, and to be very stubborn. The most rebellious of the group, she was wild and crazy at times, a bit of party animal, and a severe hothead. 5'5 with extremely long legs, and not the curviest body ever, she was always skinny, and never really worried about weight, but had somewhat of a curvy body, unlike some super skinny girls out there. Hazel eyes that always turned green when excited, and long dark brown hair, that got frizzy when she was upset. Known for her sharp tongue, and asshole tendency, she was rarely scared, and fiercely loyal. She, was one of the most emotional unstable girls in the group,
Lily Blasé, the romantic of the group, was always reading quotes, and doodling lyrics. Shorter then most, she was only still 5'3, with a petite body. Her hair was never the same color, sometimes it was light brown, sometimes it was blonde. Her eyes could never be classified into one color, as they changed from gray, to blue, to green, to back to blue, to occasional silver, if she was especially excited. With mood swings that came as they pleased, she was sometimes compared to a pregnant woman, especially with all her odd food cravings at three in the morning. A profound music lover, she listened to anything and everything, and was always at her happiest singling along to a song.
Danielle Hewitt, with her sharp tongue, and quick wit, she was a bit of a bitch, but deep down, was one of the most caring girls you'd ever meet, a real Mother Teresa that one. She stood tall at 5'5, with long legs, and a soccer player build, with an actual woman's body, unlike some. Her dark skin and long dark brown, almost black hair that turned red in the sun, contrasted with her light brown eyes, which were always lined in some sort of eyeliner, her favorite object in the world. Hard to approach, and a snob at first, she was very picky with men, and like Noelle, wasn't all that great at relationships.
Anne Kaler, on the other hand, was great at relationships, and was almost always in one. The designated mother of the group, she was the most responsible at times, and just had a motherly air about her.5'3 with long strawberry blonde hair, and golden hazel eyes gave her a wholesome look, but she was far from it. As bad-ass she pleased, she could party as hard as the rest, but wake up at 8 the next morning and make breakfast for everyone.
Maria Karzai was basically the attention whore of the group. She loved the spotlight, and the spotlight loved her. Black wavy hair, and green-blue eyes, with her 5'4 stature, and a belly dancers body, as she was half Persian, and had curves like all the rest. Loud, bubbly, and sweet, but also self destructive, and unstable at times, Noelle and Danielle sometimes had to drag her home, when she partied too much, even by their standards. She got into lots of trouble at times, and often made big mistakes.
They had never been apart for more then a month, and now they would never see Maria again. She was killed in a fatal accident, driving home from her volleyball practice, when out of nowhere, a drunk driver slams into her, killing them both instantly.
The five of them, now four, were as different as different could be, yet, they were the best of friends, like sisters. With Maria gone, it was like they weren't whole, they weren't completed, their fantastic five days were over.
So, a week later, her family and friends gathered for her funeral. Noelle sat with Lily, Annie and Danielle, as Alexandra Karzai
spoke. Now it was their turn to make their speech.
Noelle began "I've known Maria since birth, we all have and I knew and I know her like the back of my hand."
Danielle intervened "The five of us, we were so close, and we've gone through so much together, its crazy not having her right next to me."
Annie said next "What happened to her was sad, but we know she's safe now, wherever she may be, probably at the mall, that was like her heaven."
Lily finished "We miss her so much, I wish I could hear her corny jokes, and see her dorky dance moves one last time, we love you Maria, and we miss you."
Later that night, the four girls sat in Danielle's room, reminiscing over all the trouble Maria used to always get them in, when there was a rap on the door. Danielle yelled "It's open!", as Robin Hewitt walked in, with a grave expression on her face, and clutching five silver pendants in her hand.
Robin said quietly "Girls, please, come in the sitting room."
The four girls got up, and walked to the sitting room, all dreading what they would hear next. The sitting room was very serious, all browns and reds, and was only used in important, often upsetting situations, and was never a particularly jubilant place to be.
As they opened the door, they saw Kimberly Carvin, Linda Blasé, Alexandra Karzai and Kat Kaler, staring at them, without saying a word.
Noelle muttered "Well, hello to you too."
Kimberly Carvin snapped "Noelle Lila, this is not the time for fun and games; this is a serious, important matter."
Noelle shot back "Well damn, just tell us already!"
Alexandra Karzai said "I know this is rough on you girls, especially now that there are only four of you to uphold the Daughters of Salem legacy. But we have made a decision that will benefit you all, and will help you move on, and control your powers."
Lily crossed her arms "Thank you for including us in the decision process, I mean, after all we are almost adults."
Linda Blasé continued "Don't get smart Lily. This is what's best for you all, and as you are not eighteen, none of you are, you will do as we say."
Anne rolled her eyes "So, what are we doing then. Making such a damn big deal about it, just tell us already."
Alexandra said quietly "We've decided to transfer you to Spenser Academy."
Danielle asked "Where the hell is that?"
"Ipswich, Massachusetts."
Lily paled, even more, so her already fair skin was as white as a sheet. "Massachusetts? Why there of all places?"
Linda smiled sincerely "It will be fine, you'll be fine. Spenser is a very prestigious private school, that is willing to accommodate you, which is a surprise based on your past behavior," as she looked at Noelle and Danielle.
Noelle smirked "Go on, without the accusatory looks please, I mean, so there were a few fights here and there, and a few times skipping class, big deal."
Robin smiled, but continued "So, you are going to start your senior year there, and I want you all to have something," as she passed four of the five silver pendants to the four girls. They all inspected them, staring at the thin chain and interlocking 'S' and 'D', and in between the two letters, there was a small diamond. "These are for you. Wear them at all times, never take them off, even in the water. Protected by magic, they should never break, and if something bad ever happens to one of you four, physically or emotionally, it will become freezing. These are for your protection, as you've never been outside of Salem with these powers, and who knows what could happen."
Noelle asked "What makes you think something bad is going to happen?"
Kimberly smiled "Where you girls go, trouble always follows."
