"Powers"
Chapter One: A Normal Day
August 30, 2032
Pru Wyatt-Turner pulled her red hair into a ponytail as she got ready to cook breakfast for her kids and niece. It was her morning ritual. She placed a skillet on the stove and got eggs out of the fridge. She was dressed in her skirt suit, and had a pair of pumps on her feet as she bustled around the kitchen to prep breakfast for her family. She worked at Bucklands Auction House, as an appraiser just like her late Aunt Prue, her namesake.
Sander Wyatt was in the bathroom gelling his short blonde hair. He was thinking about his day to come. He had to teach for six hours, then head over to P3, his late mother's night club which was thriving still after thirty-three years. He was a French teacher at the high school, and manager-slash-owner of the club. After his hair was gelled he washed his hands and placed his frame less glasses on his blue eyes. Three years earlier a demon robbed him of perfect sight in his left eye, so he had to wear glasses to be able to see properly.
Greg Wyatt was in his daughter's room, which she shared with her younger cousin, Melinda. He was busy putting his daughter's school supplies in her backpack, while she got dressed. It was her first day of the third grade, and he was so happy. He was dressed in his casual work clothes. He switched jobs two years earlier. He went from being a counselor at South Bay Social Services to being a social worker.
Pru was placing a platter of eggs on the kitchen table, as she heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Hey mommy!!" Her youngest child, Melinda, exclaimed as she sat down at the table. She was wearing a pink dress, a smile plastered on her face.
"Hey baby doll, are you excited about school?" she cooed at her daughter.
She nodded her head, as she orbed ketchup to her hand.
"Mely, what did I say about using your powers like that!" she scolded, as Mely squirted ketchup on her eggs.
"Sorry, mommy." she said, as she looked down at her plate.
"It's okay, where is your brother?" Pru asked, as she cleaned up the pan.
"I don't know." Mely said as she started shoving food in her mouth, as if she had never eaten before.
Greg walked in holding three backpacks, one pink, another purple and a last one blue.
"Halli, why don't you sit down and eat something before school." he said, as he placed the three bags on the floor, as poured himself a cup of coffee.
Halli took a seat next to Mely, and placed eggs on her plate.
"Pru, can you pick the kids up today?" Greg asked as he sipped his coffee.
"No, I have a business lunch in Oakland today." she said, as she hung up an apron, "I was hoping you can."
"What about Cole?" he asked, as he grabbed his briefcase, and riffled through it.
"Cole left an hour ago, he's in court all day." Pru said of her divorce lawyer demon husband, who was her Aunt Phoebe's ex-boyfriend before she died thirty-one years before.
"Emma?" Pru suggested, of Greg's ex-wife. Greg looked sad for a moment, and responded, "She can't. We have a meeting with the lawyers at one." Greg and Emma were getting divorced after nine and a half years together. He was hurt, because she claimed she needed a normal life, free of demons and magic. She was giving Greg full custody of Halli, and he was hurt. It seemed that she wanted nothing to do with her daughter. That above all infuriated Greg.
"I'm so sorry." she said, and clasped his hand in hers.
"Me too." he said, as Sander walked in the room with Warren. 'Eat buddy, then I'm bringing you guys to school." Sander said, as he threw his messenger bag on the floor.
"Sander, can you get the kids today?" Pru said earnestly.
"Please, I have a meeting with the lawyers, and Pru has a business thing." Greg said.
"Yeah, but they would have to come back to the club with me because I have inventory to go through."
"No problem." Pru said with a smile. "I got to go." She said, as she threw her blazer on, and grabbed her briefcase. She kissed her kids goodbye and wished them luck, then her niece, and she was out the door. Sander could hear her BMW X5 pull out of the driveway.
"I'm heading out, I got a lot of paper work to do." Greg said, as he grabbed his briefcase, and said goodbye to the children, and he was gone. Halli got teary eyed, as she heard Greg's Honda Accord pull out.
"Okay, guys. Let's put our dishes in the sink, and go get your coats." Sander smiled at the kids, as they bustled about. Halli and Mely ran out of the room, as Warren shimmered off.
He sometimes wished he had kids, but he was gay, and he was happy. He and Mike his boyfriend of almost ten years were happy, and thriving. Sander loved taking care of his nieces and nephew.
The three kids ran out of the house, and piled in Sander's brand new navy blue Jeep Grand Cherokee.
"Okay, what are the rules for school?" Sander said, as he checked his rearview mirror.
"No powers." the three kids in the backseat said in unison.
"Correct. Warren is there someone coming from the left?" Sander asked his nephew, who was sitting behind Sander.
"Yes, Uncle Sandy, I'll tell you when you can go. Go now." Warren responded. Sander eased on the gas, and they were on there way. Sander sometimes had to rely on whoever sat on the left side of the car.
"Uncle Sander, how come you cant see right like Daddy?" Halli asked as she sat in the middle.
"I got hurt when we fought a demon a long time ago." Sander responded, as he turned right towards the Elementary School.
"I want music." Mely said impatiently, as the radio orbed on.
"Melinda, sweetie, just ask, and don't use your powers." Sadner warned.
She just ignored him.
Halliwell Wyatt was a very pretty young nine year old, with her brown hair and brown hair. She was a very skilled witch for her age. She had one power, the power to freeze time. Her freezes could last about three minutes which was impressive. Melinda Turner, was a snotty girl at times, who loved to use her orbing-telekinesis for everything. She had brown hair, and brown eyes, and looked very much like her mother before she dyed her hair red. Sander's one and only nephew was very quiet and felt left out among his cousins, who were always playing with Barbies, so Sander took it upon himself to hang with Warren as much as he could. Warren looked like his father, and had the power to shimmer.
Sander pulled up front, and got out and let the kids out of the car which had child lock systems engaged.
"Bye Uncle Sander!" Halli said as she headed towards the teacher with the sign reading, Third Grade. Because Mely and Warren were in second grade, he had to escort them in, to their classroom which they shared.
Sander walked along the halls, remembering when he was a student at the same school some twenty years before. He saw the classroom, Room 210, Miss Honey.
"Hello there, I'm Miss Honey, and welcome." a very attractive young woman said to Mely and Warren. The two kids nodded, and hugged Sander bye, and headed into the room.
"Hi, I'm Lysander Wyatt." he smiled as he extended his hand. Miss Honey accepted with a smile.
"Cleo Honey, you their father?"
"No, I'm their uncle. Their mom had a business appointment this morning." Sander exclaimed.
"It was very nice to meet you Lysander."
"Sander if you will. And yes it was nice to meet you."
"The kids get out at three, so you can pick them up here." Miss Honey kindly explained.
"Three? When I was here it was three thirty. I might be a little late, I get out at two-fifty. I'm a teacher at the high school."
"I'll be here, so whenever you get here that is no problem." Sander thanked her, and left.
"Was she hitting on me?" he thought to himself, as he drove off.
Greg was at work filing some papers for a case he was working on involving a young girl who was sexually molested by her cousin, and needed a foster placement. He placed the file on his inbox, and looked a picture on his desk of Emma and Halli.
Ever since their exposure eight and a half years ago, she was weird when it came to the topic of magic. She got worse all together when Halli developed her powers. He couldn't understand the Elders rearranged the memories of the humans who knew of their exposure. Everything was sent back to normal, there was of course one fatality. Dan Baycliffe, a mortal and ex-lover of Sander. He was killed by a subdural hematoma that Leo's healing power didn't heal. On the subject of Leo, the Wyatts had not seen him in three years.
He kept telling himself it wasn't his fault, but that didn't help, he blamed himself for his wife's estrangement. He wanted his wife back, but knew as long as magic was part of his life, there would be no wife. He loved magic too much, he had been a witch for nearly twelve years, and had seen so much that no one else could ever dream off. Halli would understand, he hoped.
"Wyatt, you need to drop by the Saunders' household to check on Emilia." his boss, Eric yelled at him. Greg groaned, he hated when Eric spoke, and when he called Greg by his last name.
"Hey Paige, can you type up the report on Franklin?" Greg asked his friend and fellow social worker, who was in the next cubicle. Paige Matthews, was fifty-five and had worked at South Bay since her twenties. She nodded and took the folder from Greg.
At three o'clock, Sander was speeding down Roosevelt Street to get to the cops. He activated his sensing power. Images flashed in his head, he could see people from all around him, and he saw a cop about thirty feet ahead, and that was when Sander slowed down. He loved his sensing power sometimes. He pulled into an empty spot, and saw Miss Honey waiting outside with Mely, Warren and Halli.
"Sorry I'm late." he apologized to Miss Honey.
'I'm going to be in the car." Mely said as she headed towards the car.
"How were Warren and Mely?" Sander asked.
'Warren is very shy, which I'm sure was just nerves. Mely on the other hand is very outspoken, and when another girl took the pink crayon, Mely called her a demon, which I thought was odd because that witch hunt was before her time."
"Thank you." Sander said, avoiding Miss Honey, and went into the car.
The witch hunt that ended in 2025, was a serious event in San Francisco history. Five people were burned alive for witchcraft over the six year span, and it was horrible.
"You guys have homework?" Sander asked as he started the car.
'Yes." Halli said, as she took her bun out of her hair.
"Well when we get to the club, why don't you start it, and I'll get you guys sodas and snacks."
The three burst into smiles. It was a normal day.
