The Beginning Part 1

Estelle's POV

"Thy is lucky to be leaving school," I said to Margaret.

"And the same to you, shall we fly to the village or walk?" she asked.

"A nice day it is I prefer to walk, we have time, the school was so kind to let us leave early," I replied.

"It is the Spring Festival! Of course they must," she said, "Think of the food Estelle."

"The food is divine, only fit for nobles and royalty like King Arthur," I said.

"Bless King Arthur for he helps protect us from many demons that comes our way," she said.

"We mustn't spoil the Festival with talk of demons. Weeks have passed since the last attack," I said.

"I bow thy head for the animals that passed," she said.

"Be hopeful that next time, whenever that may be, neither Fae, humans, nor animals be harmed."

"It is such a hopeful thought," she said, "Why is there smoke rising over near our village?"

"Our village!" I cried. We transformed and flew as fast as we could to the village. When we landed the trees were ablaze the flames tinged black. Many faeries were trying to fight but most were not succeeding.

"What is happening?" Margaret asked.

"I wish I knew," I said.

"I will fight the flames, find a council Elder, find Gwen," she said using her powers to try to decrease the flames. I turned to find the Jonathan, the head council elder when I heard her scream. I turned back around.

"Margaret!" I cried as she was consumed in flames, "No! No!" My throat was filled with black fire smoke. I tried to reach to save her but I was pulled away.

"No!" I cried as I was taken through my burning home.

"Estelle, listen, it is the upmost importance," I heard the Elder say. I was quiet trying to focus on breathing.

"You are the only of us who can stop this," he said.

"How?" I asked coughing, "It is too late to end what has begun."

"Not yet, there is magic," he said.

"Mine is not as strong as yours Elder," I said.

"Not yet," he said, "I will be relinquishing the powers of the Fire Fae to you. You are to train with three powerful sister witches far ahead of our time."

"Gwenyth," I said thinking of my younger sister.

"She is safe," he said and I knew he spoke truth, because council elders must, "These witches are a force of good and they are very strong. They will help you train and then you will come back to save us."

"I do not understand what thy is saying," I said.

"We don't have much time," he said turning to another council elder, "Theodore, open the time portal."

"No!" I heard a man cry. I whipped my head around. There was a large man, not from our village or any fae village. He had very pale skin and dark black hair, his eyes glowed red and I saw a black fire ball form in his hand. One of the council elders threw up a shield, much larger than I had succeeded in at school. Jonathan formed a bright ball of white energy in his hand.

"This is the power of our people," he said shoving it inside me and he tied a shimmering gold cloak around me, "Use it well, you can save us. Just remember to find the three sister witches." Before I could reply before I could even think, the shield dissolved and the demon came through. I was shoved the portal the last thing I heard was "Close it now!"


3rd Person POV

"Phoebe how do we even know faeries exist?" Prue asked as they sat at the kitchen table, "Besides it may have just been a dream."

"I know the difference by now," Phoebe said, "Prue we've been fighting demons for over a year, for all we know mermaids exist."

"Alright tell me what happened in your premonition again," Prue sighed taking a sip of coffee.

"There was this large field, afternoon, and some type of portal opened. A girl in a cloak, who had wings, fell out. Then about a million demons attacked her," Phoebe said.

"How old was the girl?" Leo asked.

"Maybe sixteen, if that," she said, "Can you talk to the Elders see if they know anything?"

"Yeah," he said orbing out.

"Why can't he even stay for a decent cup of coffee?" Piper asked joining them.

"We're witches," Prue said, "We have demons to find."

"Phoebe, we don't even know where to look for this girl. We don't know when either," Piper pointed out.

"Which is why we need Leo to find out more, I'll start working on a spell and then see if there's a way I can find her in the book," Phoebe said getting up from the table.

"When did it become that we'd fight demons before having an actual breakfast?" Piper asked.

"When we became witches," Prue said, "I know you don't like being one."

"It's difficult, fighting demons all the time, not having a lot of spare time. I just want my life back," she said.

"I know, I do too," she said and Leo orbed in, "What'd you find out?"

"Nothing," he said.

"Surprise, surprise," Piper said leaving the kitchen. Prue sighed and Leo orbed out.

"I've looked in the book and I found something!" Phoebe called downstairs. Piper and Prue headed upstairs.

"What did you find?" Prue asked.

"It's about faeries. They were very powerful creatures during the time of Camelot when King Arthur ruled. There was a group for each element, Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. The Fire Fae died off right before King Arthur fell. The other groups are either working with the Elders or are in hiding from demons.

"She's got to be a fire faery right?" Piper asked.

"The only option, this is what the book says: Fire Fae used their emotions for powers, gaining strength. Each faery, whether male or female, went to school for training with powers. Powers include: fire balls, fire shields, fire rope, the power of heat, whatever that means, and they are not affected by regular fire or smoke."

"That's all?" Prue asked.

"Yeah, she's the last one left. The demons are probably waiting for her to take her powers and kill her."

"We'll just have to find her before that happens," Prue said.

"Then what; hide her from the demons?" Piper asked.

"We can't just leave her out there. She's from a different time period. Seeing a light bulb would probably freak her out," Phoebe said, "I'll stay home and work on a spell." Neither Piper nor Prue wanted to fight more demons; they were disrupted when the phone started ringing.

"I'll get it," Prue said leaving Piper and Phoebe and Piper followed her.

"Hello?"

"Yes I can come in today. I'm not busy at all," Prue said, "Stay late?" Piper shook her head.

"Of course I'll be in soon," Prue replied hanging the phone up.

"Prue, what about saving the innocent?" Piper asked.

"I want to protect her but we need money Piper," Prue said, "You'll do fine without me."


Estelle's POV

I fell through the portal and landed on the ground. My outfit was fine, which was a cream bodice with gold swirls around it and my skirt, a shimmering gold that was almost transparent. My knees were scraped along with my hands. I stood up and flexed my wings. No embers luckily had caught on my wings. They were fine but that could not be said about my life. Margaret was dead and Gwen was missing. I didn't even know where I was. I was surrounded by a large field. There were no trees but I sensed something odd. I felt something hit my arm. I let out a scream and I clutched my arm.

Several demons shimmered out in the open. I recognized one voice.

"Look who it is," he sneered.

"You! You were the demon that destroyed my village," I said, "I'm going to kill you." He only laughed. Then several demons came after me. I threw up a shield but it only stopped one.

"Hey! Get away from her!" I heard a woman call (Phoebe).

"Get away now!" Another called. I heard some demons cry and they died. I wanted to get somewhere out of the way but the demon that destroyed my people grabbed me before I could. I formed a fire ball but it seemed to extinguish. I heard breaking glass and the demon screamed. He shimmered out and I transformed back into my human self.

3rd Person POV

The girl started to fall and Piper caught her before she did.

"She doesn't weigh a thing," she said but Phoebe took the other arm. Her head leaned to the side brushing Piper's shoulder.

"Let's get her back to the Manor. Leo!" Phoebe called grabbing the girl's brown sack.

They lied her down on the couch in the living room.

"Do you really think this is the best place for her?" Phoebe asked, "I mean she's out in the open."

"Leo, will you take her to the attic? There's a bed we can put her on," Phoebe said. He nodded and lifted her up taking her to the attic. The two sisters followed him and they pulled the blankets back as he lied her down.

"We should take shifts to watch her," Phoebe said.

"I think the crystals will help," Piper said grabbing a box, "Go get that nightgown that Grams made for that play Prue ended up in. Then cover her with a blanket and step back." Within ten minutes the bed was surrounded by crystals and the girl was in the nightgown and protected, hopefully, from a demon attack. Every hour the girl was checked on, by the fifth or sixth hour Prue arrived home.

"Prue, it's your turn," Phoebe said.

"My turn?" she asked putting her coat up.

"The girl in the attic, check on her, make sure she's breathing," Phoebe said.

"So you saved the innocent," she said.

"Yup, and we identified the demon, Odin, from what the book says he has killed villages of people by burning them down. He wanted this girl for whatever reason. I don't think he just wants her power."

"I'll go check on her," Prue said. She then saw how young the girl was. She was ashamed about how she had acted earlier. If this girl had been lost she would hold blame. She then left the attic and headed for the kitchen. Piper was at the table drinking some water.

"Your home," she said.

"Yeah," she said.

"How was work?"

"Busy," she said. Piper didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry Piper about earlier. I'm just sick and tired of fighting demons. I just want a normal life. Work is my escape."

"That doesn't mean when an innocent is in trouble you just ignore them," Piper said.

"I know that, after what happened to Andy…. how many demons were there?"

"Maybe six, after Phoebe and I killed half of them with potions they shimmered out. The demon that wanted her though didn't go so easily. I'm surprised he didn't shimmer out with her," Piper said.

"So she's been asleep upstairs?" Prue asked.

"She's been like that since we brought her back," she said, "Leo checked for wounds earlier. She had some on her knees, hands, arms, legs, and there was a nasty burn on her upper arm."

"He healed her though, that's good. I'm going to go to bed," Piper said, "Night." Phoebe soon too went to her room and eventually Prue did also.


Estelle's POV

When I awoke I was in a soft bed in a strange room. I was not at some healing place but I wasn't in a palace either. I was in a cream night gown and I stepped out of the bed noticing white large rocks on the ground. I bent down and looked at it. There seemed to be several surrounding the bed. I touched the rock and bright white lines seemed to light up and I realized I was in some type of cage. Did the demon have me? I thought two women saved me. I was looking for three though, three sister witches. I decided to move the rock and I felt a shocking sensation. I tried again this time grabbing it quickly. My hand now had a line of blood across it.

The walls of the room seemed to be made of wood, was I in some type of stable? That didn't make sense. Why would there be a bed in a stable? Or a large book? I walked toward it and opened it. The two women brought me back to their home, they must be witches also. Some of the edges were a bit yellow and I kept turning the pages then I stopped. There was a page about Elemental Fae page.

"You're awake," a women said (Prue). I looked up. She had dark brown hair and she was a little taller than I was. I backed up.

"There's no need to be afraid of me," she said.

"Who art thou?" I asked. She smiled.

"Prue, it's short for Prudence, my two younger sisters saved you from the demons," she said. I didn't say anything.

"What's your name?" she asked coming toward me. I backed up more.

"Estelle," I replied quietly, "Why was I being held in that cage?"

"The crystal cage was meant to protect you if a demon came," she said, "How'd you get out?" I held up the white rock called a crystal.

"I see," she said, "Is there blood on your hand?" She came toward me so quickly I barley took a step away from her and I dropped the crystal.

"I'm not going to hurt you Estelle," she said. She grabbed my hand before I could reply.

"I'll be right back with a wet cloth and a bandage. You can continue looking at the Book if you like," she said leaving the room. I saw my bag and dress on the other side of the bed. My dress had no tears in it which was strange because there were always a few. I pulled on my dress and sat on the bed slipping on my worn shoes. I took my hair down and I tore a piece of fabric off of my apron and began to tie it around my left hand as I sat on the bed. Prudence walked into the room.

"What are you doing?" she asked stepping toward the bed.

"Stopping the bleeding," I said.

"It needs to be cleaned first and have a clean bandage too," she said taking the fabric out of my hand.

"The cloth is fine," I replied, "I've used it before when needed."

"Well you won't have to. This may sting," she said spraying my hand. I gasped and involuntarily produced a shield. She fell off the bed. My eyes widened and I stood up backing away.

"I said it might sting, you didn't have to do that," she said.

"I apologize; I didn't mean to," I said, "It was instinctive."

"It's alright," she said, "I understand." She sat back down on the bed.

"Now come sit back down and let me finish cleaning your hand." Why was I so willingly talking to her? Why should I trust this woman; or her sisters for that matter? The Council Elder said I had to find three powerful sister witches. Could they be the ones? What if they weren't? What if they were? What was I supposed to tell them? I stood there not moving. Then I moved.

"I shouldn't even be here I have to find someone," I said thinking of Wizard Merlin heading toward the doorway. Prudence grabbed my wrist.

"Estelle, there's no one left from your village, or from Camelot," she said.

"There is one person," I said breaking away from her grasp and running down the stairs with my bag.

"Estelle!" the witch called and I stopped as two other women entered the hallway.

"What's going on?" one asked (Piper).

"It's five in the morning, why are we up?" the other yawned (Phoebe). All three of them looked at me; and I ran down another flight of stairs. I was difficult though to work the sphere protruding from the door but I got it to work. There was a man with dark skin about to knock.

"Estelle wait!" a woman called (Phoebe). The man grabbed my arm.

"She's yours I take it?" he asked. I tried to get out of his grasp and then I heated my skin. He released me and I ran toward a smooth dark looking path. Something came by really fast with bright lights and I fell to the ground. Where was I? What was going on? Someone grabbed the inside of my elbow and pulled me up.

"We're not going to hurt you, come on inside," a woman said. It was not Prudence or the girl who told me to wait moments ago.

"She's a friend of the family."

"The police know that there was a teenage girl in strange clothing seen in a meadow, once they see her they'll want to bring her in."

"She got out, we thought she was sleeping," Prudence said, "She's confused. There's no need for her to be questioned." One of the sisters pulled me into the room with chairs and a fireplace.

"Estelle, he can't know you're a faery from Camelot," one (Piper) said.

"How do you know that?" I asked, "Are you working for Odin? The Elders?"

"How do you know of the Elders?" (Phoebe) one asked.

"Demons came after us because of them," I said, "They deserve no respect from me or my people."

"We're not working for the Elders or Odin. We don't care much for the Elders. We're good people, helping the greater good. We'll find Odin and kill him and you can go back home," (Piper) said.

"No! That's my job! He's my demon to kill!"

"Alright Estelle," the one with shorter hair (Phoebe) said, "Piper why don't you get her some tea?" The woman next to me nodded.

"Let's go to the kitchen," she said leading me into another room as the other sister, whose name I did not know, returned to Prudence and the man at the front door. I looked back and lights came on. There were no candles though. The objects in the kitchen had strange textures and appearances, I noticed the tea kettle though but what it was resting on, I did not.


3rd Person POV

"Darryl, we are protecting her. She doesn't understand. She doesn't need to be questioned by the police or social services when she has no clue what is going on," Phoebe said, "We have to explain everything to her."

"We'll take her to social services to get full custody but we need some important info, like her age, full name, where we are going to say she's from," Prue said.

"You're going to falsify legal documents?" Darryl asked.

"Something happened to her Darryl, something she doesn't want us to talk about, with anyone. Something really, really bad happened to her. We don't want anyone else involved." Phoebe asked.

"We just need you to cover for us for a little bit Darryl," Prue said, "We don't want to overwhelm her."

"Look I'll put something down, but only this once," Darryl said leaving.

"We also have to make sure she isn't evil."

"Prue she's like sixteen, she's not evil."

"She's a teenager with magical powers Phoebe. She came from a different land and time. For all we know she has dark magic."

"Prue she's in the other room, keep it down. She's scared, she would have tried to attack us if she was evil," Phoebe argued, "Besides she was attacked by demons! What happened?"

"Maybe she was trying to leave to form a plan. Demons attack other demons too. Nothing happened, but something might."

"That's not what I meant. Prue you were just in the attic with her, did she try to hurt you, and did the book close up to her? She nearly ran into the middle of the street because she was terrified of us!"


Estelle's POV

I was sitting at the table in the kitchen taking sips of the tea. Piper was across from me.

"My sisters and I are the Charmed Ones, we're going to protect you," she said.

"You're witches?" I asked.

"Yes," she said.

"I was told to find you," I said, "I was told that you would help me."

"Help you with what?" Piper asked.

"Help me with my powers," I said, "They're much stronger than before, and I can't kill Odin without help."

"Who is Odin exactly?" a woman asked sitting on the left of me, "I'm Phoebe by the way."

"He is a demon that destroyed my village, my people. I was shoved through a portal by a council elder. He said I could save everyone. Our powers weren't working against the flames. It was black fire, the only fire that can harm us."

"That's why you had burns on you when we found you," Piper said.

"How was it that you found me?"

"I have the power of premonition," Phoebe said, "I saw that you were attacked." Prudence sat on my other side. She seemed different than before, more closed off.

"We're going to buy you clothes that are more modern," Phoebe said. I looked down at my outfit.

"I'm not here for new clothing articles. I have an important job to do. I have to learn to control my powers. It is the only way of defeating Odin."

"If you decide to go out in that outfit, people will be curious. They'll ask questions. Humans here don't know about magic, if they do they fear it. They think Camelot is a legend. You are about nine- hundred years in the future, a lot has changed," Piper said.

"Nine hundred!" I stood up.

"I think I'm in the wrong place," I said transforming. Phoebe stood up also but I was faster than she.

3rd Person POV

Before their eyes Estelle flew through the ceiling, her body becoming a bright golden light.

"Where'd she go?" Piper asked.

"Probably the attic," Prue said. They all went to the attic and found Estelle putting her cloak on. She tucked her long blonde hair under the hood. She had the piece of fabric from her apron, wrapped around her hand.

"We are the ones you are looking for," Piper stated.

"Three powerful, sister witches," Phoebe said, "The Charmed Ones."

"Jonathan was wrong. I don't need more training, my powers are stronger. Destroying Odin shouldn't be a problem."

"Estelle, we can help you," Piper said.

"I certainly do not need any help from you," she said hovering a feet off the ground. Then suddenly Leo orbed in because he had more information.

"What's going on?" he asked looking at Estelle. Her eyes narrowed.

"So thee does work under the Elders. I should have known," she said. She started toward the ceiling but Prue grabbed her ankle.


A/N: This story I originally wanted to upload at the end of the summer but it still needed some work. As I'm sure you read in the summary this story involves a fire faery and takes place in season 2, right before 'That Old Black Magic'. Anyway, this is my first fanfiction story with a major original character. I don't want her to turn into a Mary-Sue so if you have any tips on how to avoid that please say so in a review or PM me! Plus if you know a lot about medieval times please share, history isn't my greatest subject so any info like if I have a fact wrong helps. Also for those who enjoy long chapters, this story will have plenty! Each chapter is probably a third or half of what an episode is. Since shows sometimes have 2 part episodes when something important happens, this will be a two part episode, so that means most likely four to six chapters. There will be episodes mainly around Estelle and she will be included in the episodes throughout the season. There will probably be some extra scenes from just her point of view too, like how she is doing or what her perspective is of what is happening to the sisters. Anyway, sorry for the long author's note! So, please leave a review with what you thought and if you'd like to read more!
