Summary: The Charmed Ones have survived it all but can they live through another family secret that has something to do with an unspeakable evil and has the Elders worried? Is Amber good or evil and what isn't her secret friend telling her?

Prologue

Year 1842

Thunder and lightning clashed in the sky that night. The wind whipped around in every direction as the cold rain fell from the sky, almost turning to ice.

Inside a house, a woman was about to give birth. Her family was gathered around her, helping in whatever way they could. Beside her was an Elder, watching over her and waiting for the child to be born.

An older woman pulled him aside into another room, "In case you haven't noticed, we're kind of busy. Now, why are you here?" She stared at him, annoyed.

"I told you about the prophecy. This child should have never survived this long to be born. She's evil." He warned.

The lady frowned, "Nonsense. It's merely a baby. Surely you can't tell me we're going to raise it like that?"

"You won't have to. She has evil within her that she won't be able to handle. She's dangerous. You must destroy her before she kills anyone."

"Kill?" She laughed disbelievingly, "The child can't even walk yet and you're saying she'll kill?"

The pregnant woman screamed out in pain. "SHE'S COMING!

"You lay a hand on this child and I'll be the one hurting you," she told the Elder in a dead serious tone before she went to help deliver the baby.

He sighed and stayed where he was. It was inevitable and he knew it. The child would be born to become evil and a cold blooded killer. When the baby was born, he walked into the room.

The mother smiled down at her new born child, "I'll call her Amber."

The baby girl smiled at its mother.

The Elder began to say a spell.

"What are you doing?" The mother asked as the older woman from before started toward him angrily.

A stream of blue energy shot from his hand and hit the baby.

"NOOOO!" The mother screamed in terror, clutching her child closer to her.

The baby cried angrily as the blue energy turned red, reflected off of her and hit everyone around her, hurting them but not killing them.

"Stop," her mother pleaded, tears running down her face. "He's not hurting you anymore."

The child's eyes turned red and a burst of red power surged from her, killing everyone in the room before they had the chance to scream. All at once the energy disappeared and the baby's eyes turned back to their normal hazel as she began to cry again but this time, more quietly and out of sadness, instead of pain or anger. She was alone in the world now.

Outside the house, another Elder shook his head. They shouldn't have acted so rashly. Especially with all the innocent people that had been in the room. It was their fault the mother, grandmother, husband, aunt, and some friends of the family had died. Luckily, her cousins hadn't made it or else the whole family would've been killed. "Until we find a way to safely remove the evil from within her, we will have to be responsible for her."

Present Time

Paige flipped on the television when she was bored with nothing to do. All the stress was getting to her. How could she have been so stupid? She had thought she was alone when she orbed into that alley but there she was, that girl that had basically been keeping watch over them for months now. It was quite strange how she never made any contact with them except for a smile whenever one of them glanced at her. Now she was nowhere to be found. Where did she go? It wasn't like she wanted to be watched but she was kind of accustomed to it at this point. Looking at the TV to check out what was on, she froze when she saw a picture of that girl on the news and that she was missing. Her mouth was open and eyes wide as she stared, "Oh, no." Closing her mouth and regaining her composure, she decided she should tell her sisters. "Uh, Piper! Phoebe! Can you come down here really quick!?" She shouted and heard them coming down the stairs.

"What's wrong," Phoebe asked while putting her jacket on.

Piper understood when Paige hinted at the TV, "Oh, my. It's her."

"Her?" Phoebe looked up and gasped. "She's missing? I know she hasn't been watching us lately but missing?"

Paige was standing up and facing them now, "You think maybe she was kidnapped or something?"

"I don't know," Piper answered. "But what are we supposed to do or what can we do? We handle demons, not normal kidnappings." She looked at her sisters, "I mean we didn't even know her name."

"We never talked to her either." The middle sister added and sighed, "Well, I have to go to work."

"Yeah and I need to go to the club," Piper said, remembering.

"Why don't you go talk to Darryl?" She told Paige.

She nodded, "I'll do that and call if anything comes up."

"Alright, good bye then," Phoebe left the house while Piper went to get her bag before also leaving.

The witch turned off the TV, got her keys, and was about to leave when she heard a noise upstairs. She looked up and waited for a moment but the house was silent. "Hm," she shrugged it off as she left to the police station.

Upstairs in Paige's Room

A thin teenage girl with long straight midnight black hair locked the door and sat on the bed. Her hazel eyes shining, "I'll just wait until she comes back."

"Then what will you do?" A feminine voice asked. "She's going to want to know why you ran away."

She turned her head toward the voice, though no one was visible. "Do you think they'll believe me?"

The voice laughed a little, "I'm not so sure since they know you've been watching them for months and Paige knows you know her secret." It sounded almost motherly toward her.

She smiled, "Well they won't believe the part about you since you can't talk to them so maybe I'll leave that out." Her expression turned into one of confusion. "Why is that anyway? How come I can hear you and no one else?"

"Because you're a special girl Amber," it was obvious she was smiling. Seeing the girl raise a brow, she sighed. "It's not like I don't want to talk to them. I'm just not allowed to."

"You know," Amber started, a frown slowly forming, "Sometimes the powers that be suck." She smiled at hearing her laugh softly.

"Yes, but they have their reasons." She paused before adding, "I think they do it for entertainment though since they're basically stuck up there for practically eternity."

"Reasons they may have but I have my imagination and I'm not afraid to use it, unlike some people up there." She folded her arms and looked up.

"You never cease to amaze me with your immaturity for your age."

She pouted slightly, "People who call others immature are just people who don't know how to have fun. Besides, you're the one that keeps spoiling me like a kid." Amber grinned.

Police Station

Darryl stood up to greet Paige, "Hey Paige."

"Hi Darryl, I was wondering if you could tell me everything you know about that girl on the news that's missing. Was she kidnapped or something?" She said in a low voice so the people around them couldn't hear.

He looked at her, "You mean Prue Rodwell?"

Paige blinked, feeling shocked, "That's her name?"

"Yeah, she was reported missing by her parents three days ago."

Shaking off the shock she asked, "So what's the story?"

"Well she seemed to have a pretty good life. She did well in school and had a loving family but she didn't have any close friends."

She frowned, "Why not?"

"They don't know. According to them she spent most of the time either in her room or the park. But they said lately she had been coming home at odd hours and sometimes ditched class. They don't know where she went." He paused, lowering his voice. "Do you know something?"

"Yeah, I know where she's been but not where she is now."

"Where?"

"She's been watching us."

Darryl looked worried, "She was stalking you guys?"

"No," she shook her head. "She never did anything, just sat close by watching us until the day she disappeared." She paused. "It wasn't like she was hiding either. She would just stay right in the open so we would know where she was, almost like she was silently telling us she meant no harm."

He frowned, "Why would she do that?"

"I have no idea."

Is it a good begining? I haven't writen a Charmed fan fic before and this is probably going to be one of my more complex stories so I'd really appreciate any suggestions. Please R&R.
