So I decided to make this a story so enjoy )

Prologue

Emily Danvers opened to the door to her grandfather's bedroom. The sound of the door made her father look up. He sat on the edge of the bed and held his father hand. "Sweetie what are you doing in here? Where is your brother Caleb?"

"Playing with the dog," she told her dad. She lifted her arms and her dad picked her up. She sat in her dad lap and stared and her grandfather. "Is Grampy dieing? He's younger than mommies dad."

"He's sick pumpkin," her dad lied. The truth was his father was only fifty. He shouldn't look like a ninety year old man who was dieing and bed ridden.

"I…" came Emily's grandfather's voice. He looked at them and said, "I will you my powers." A strange energy came over Emily and the gene of power that ran in the four families of Ipswich unlocked itself. She felt power crawl into her body.

Ch 1

Emily woke up in her bed covered in sweat and knew something was wrong. What could have happen to one of the families of Ipswich that would wake her? She looked over at her roommate Kelly to see her awake. "Why are still up?"

"The research paper due monday," the girl said. "What's up with you? OMG did I wake you up?"

"No." Emily opened her cell phone to see it was midnight. She dropped the phone when it started to ring.

"A bit jumpy aren't you?" Kelly observed. When Emily didn't move Kelly asked, "Are you going to answer it?"

"Do you recognize the ring?"

"Yea it's 'Bring Me to Life' by Evanescence," Kelly said. Emily gave her a look and the light bulb went off in Kelly's head. "Why is your mom calling you so late?"

"I don't know." Emily picked up the phone and let her mother go to voicemail. "She probably want to talk about how unfair life is or to complain about Caleb. I haven't talked to her since we got back to school." Emily was a year younger than her brother, but had skipped a year in school due to her A average since fifth grade. She attended Boston Elite, a private school in Boston. She attended Spencer Academy for the first three weeks of her freshman year. After her father's "death" two years ago she transferred to B.E. and they promoted her to the tenth grade. She had lived on campus all year round (except for Christmas and Easter break) in her dorm house, which was an on campus apartment that contained two bathrooms, three two person bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room.

"Still she shouldn't be calling this late," Kelly told her. She didn't know the all secrets of Emily's family. Emily had told Kelly that her dad had been on life support since she transferred and her mother drank heavily. Her phone rang again but this time it played the song "Edge of seventeen".

"What's wrong Caleb?" Emily asked after she flipped her phone open.

"What would make you say that.? And a 'hello Caleb' would have been fine." Emily relaxed a bit caused by her brothers humor.

"Sorry I woke up from a dream about the day Grampy died. But if your to be a smartass now that your eighteen then I'll call you tomorrow."

"Actually I kind of have to tell you something. Dad's dead." Emily let out a small gasp and covered her mouth.

"How?" It was the only thing she could say to keep her voice from breaking and tears from falling.

"He willed me his powers."

"Why is the law so stupid?" she asked as her words told her brother she now cried. "Why did Dad have to die?"

"I don't know Emmekins," he replied. He must have been really upset to use his personal pet name for her. "The funeral is Sunday but Reid and Tyler are going to pick you up tomorrow morning. I called the school and got off the phone with your floor mother Mrs. Smith." Emily was surprised her "floor mother" (who was her in charge of all the girls who lived on Emily's dorm floor) hadn't called her. She was their councilor and Fran (the only real senior out of all four girls that lived with Emily) spoke and answered to Mrs. Smith.

"No way am I putting up with that ass," she told him referring to Reid. If Caleb and Emily saw eye to eye on any issue it was Reid using his powers. "Can't Pogue come get me?"

"He was in a motor cycle accident. He's getting out of the hospital tomorrow. Emi please don't make this any harder than it is. You know I wouldn't make you go through this but I have to help mom prepare everything with the families so he can be buried."

"Fine I'll go with them. I love you Caleb."

"I love you too Emi." When she hung up she began to cry loud. She didn't care if she woke up the other girls. The dorm house phone rang and Emily knew it was Mrs. Smith telling Fran what happened. Lights began to flick on as girls came to see what was wrong.

"Some people are sleeping," yelled a girl on the other side of the door named Sarah Beth Harris. Kelly sat on Emily's and put a comforting arm around the crying girl. Sarah opened the door and asked, "Can you stop?"

"Can't you see she's upset?" Sarah's roommate Daniela growled at Sarah as she pushed past Sarah and entered the room. "Kelly is Emily okay?"

"Her dad died," Fran answered as she entered the room. "Back in your rooms please. Kelly, can you give us a moment?" She was in charge and all the girls respected her.

"Sure Fran," Kelly agreed. She squeezed Emily's leg and said, "I'll get you some water." Kelly shooed the other girls out and closed the door behind them. Fran sat on the bed.

"I'm sorry," she said awkwardly. "We all know you and your dad were close. I'm sorry to have to do this, but I need to know more about the two boys coming to get you." Emily took a deep breath trying to calm herself.

"They're friends of my family and their parents are like my Aunt and uncle. They're both around six foot and have muscles from swimming. Reid Garwin, that's r-e-i-d G-a-r-w-i-n has blond hair with pale blue eyes that almost look gray. Tyler Simms with two ms has black hair and dark blue eyes."

"Anything else?" Fran asked.

"Here," Emily said getting off her bed. She went to her bulletin board and pulled a photo off with her, Tyler and Reid in it. She handed Fran the photo.

"What's going on here?"

"Umm they're swing me into the lake outside of my house." Emily laughed even though she still had tears coming out of her eyes.

"Thank I'll give this to Mrs. Smith when her office opens at seven thirty. What time do you think they'll get here."

"They had their fall formal tonight so it could be any time between nine and noon. They like to sleep in."

"I'll tell her," Fran said leaving. "And I am truly sorry Emily." She left the door open and her roommates walked passed her room just to see if she was going to break down again. Emily grabbed her lavatory items and walked into Fran's bathroom. Since Fran was in charge she would usually only have to share her bathroom with her roommate, but she had always trusted Emily to use it. Since Fran's roommate transferred schools, only Fran used it and she alone could kick Emily out. She knew Fran wouldn't and felt relieved she could have some privacy. Emily silently let herself cry for a while.

"Damn girl," Emily said when she looked at herself in the mirror. Her brown hair looked like a bird's nest and her green eyes were bloodshot. She blew her nose and brushed her hair. She shouldn't even be crying. Her dad had died the day Gordon had taken him to the original Danvers house. She thought she had gotten over her father then and excepted his "death". Part of her had always hoped somehow he could recover and be normal enough to walk and talk. But to will his powers to Caleb. What was he thinking.

Emily thought of the day she inherited the ability to gain powers that the descents had. Her grandfather, Grampy, had meant to will his powers to his son but Emily let out a scream breaking his concentration. According to Gordon (who was like a specialist when it came to the history of the descents) Grampy's last thought had been Emily. He then, therefore, willed her the power to gain the powers of the descents. No one had noticed any changes until her thirteenth birthday when she inherited powers just like her brother and his friends surprising all the families. Gordon had told her parents a few day later nothing like this had ever happened, but it seemed that she would normally gain her powers. Normally meaning like the boys.

"Hey Emily are you okay?" Kelly asked as she knocked on the door. "Sweetie it's one thirty and you need some sleep. At least come back in the bed room so we can talk."

"Give me a sec to wash my face," Emily commanded. She looked in the mirror and noticed her eyes were black. She began to sing the song "Cool" from West Side Story to try and calm herself down. She washed her face and when she looked up she saw her eyes were back to her original shade. They were her normal emerald shade which held her most important secret.
