The Last Keepers

In a prologue setting, a young girl with platinum blonde hair witnesses a woman being burned at the stake, an image that hints at old magic and hidden tensions within the town. The moment casts a long shadow over the story, signaling that danger and power lie just beneath ordinary life.

In modern times, Rhea Carver is raised under the weight of their secret tradition. She demonstrates a practical connection to magic by sewing a dress from recycled plastic bags, a small act that links craft, nature, and power.

At school, Rhea begins a rocky relationship with Oliver Sands. As their bond forms, she experiences visions of the prologue girl and her own witchcraft emerges more vividly.

Rhea's abilities surface with wondrous yet dangerous edges: she revives a garden of squash and levitates dead tree stumps. These acts blur healing and manipulation and reveal a power she cannot fully control.

Rhea's mother, Abigail Carver, has a vision of her daughter lying in a pool of blood. The foreboding prompts the family to shield Rhea and maintain secrecy around their traditions.

Grandmother Rosmarie Carver and the other elders insist that Rhea is at the center of an ancient lineage. They claim she is the chosen one with telekinesis, visions, and healing, and remind the family that her destiny is to restore balance with nature.

As rumors swirl, Rhea’s powers become known to classmates, bringing fear and curiosity. The growing attention threatens the quiet life of the Carver family and tests Rhea's ability to remain unseen.

Bullies trespass at the Carver home, desecrating Rhea’s space with a burned scarecrow and murdering her pet goat. Its blood is used to write 'Witch' on her car window, deepening the threat against her.

Pressure to hide her powers pushes Rhea to reject family expectations and distance herself from Oliver. She instead pursues a new relationship with classmate Taylor, seeking ordinary life even as magic stirs within.

At a high-stakes party, Taylor drives while intoxicated, sending the car off a hill into a tree. Rhea wakes in a pool of blood, but uses her healing to mend her wounds and also helps heal—and even resurrect—the others in the crash.

After the crash, Rhea returns home and makes amends with Oliver and the Carver family. She apologizes for her past actions and recommits to the prophecy guiding her life.

The story moves toward acceptance, showing how Rhea learns to balance personal longing with the ancestral mandate. The Carvers come to see her as a possible key to restoring harmony between humanity and nature.
