Hey Guys, so this is a preview of the second part of my Charmed Story. United they Stand. Divided they ?... For those of you who haven't read my first story, and may be confused with what's going on, feel free to read the first part. Anyway this story is going to be a little different to the first one. More of the characters will be emphasised on, and there will be a few different scenarios going on. New relationships will be formed, and new characters will be introduce, plus there will be a lot more magic used in this story, and new powers will be introduced. Anyway here is a sneak peak of what's to come, so please read, and enjoy. :)
Prue P.O.V.
Change. It's just one word. Nothing special about it. But this one word, although small, can mean so much. Being a Charmed Descendant was never going to be easy. We were destined to fight evil. To experience both pain and loss. And we have. We've experienced more pain and loss, than any one person should ever have to. We've fought evil, and won. But still no matter how much change we go through, it never gets any easier. Being a Charmed One, is about living on the edge, always wandering what's going to come next? What evil lurks in the shadows? We've dealt with evil and betrayal within our family before, but nothing could have prepared us for this.
We were on the brink of destruction, and the Halliwell line would never be the same again.

Two weeks ago…
It was a dark, dull and miserable morning. The rain was hitting off of the brittle window glass as it poured down outside. I was sitting in the kitchen of the manor, eating a slice of buttered toast when Wyatt, my older cousin, walked in.
You see, ever since the battle between Mallorax and my sister Maria, things had changed. Things were different. It's been almost two months since we defeated Mallorax… And Cece… I'm sorry, talking about my little sister is hard. As the grief is still fresh. Ever since Maria disappeared with my baby sister, there has been no contact. No phone calls, texts, emails… Nothing… No one has heard from or seen either of them. Not only that, our parents, haven't even been in contact. Which is weird because the spell broke, and the veil dropped. We saw them. But ever since that day, there has also been no contact. So that's why I'm here, at the Manor. I'm alone, and now that Wyatt is good again, things are starting to be normal again, well with him at least. And again as normal as things can be. He's still mortal but… He's here.
Soaking wet from head to toe, Wyatt stood in the door way. His hood was up so he looked like the grim reaper just standing there. ''It's coming down hard out there''.
Unaware just how bad the rain had been before Wyatt came in, I just looked out through the kitchen window, while still sitting at the counter. Catching my breath, which I had done for the past month and a half every time I went to ask about my sisters, I gave Wyatt a dreary look. ''Did you hear anything?''
Wyatt walked towards me, while taking his soaking parka off, and by the expression on his shattered face, I knew it wasn't going to be positive news. ''No, nothing… No one has heard anything from either of them… I'm sorry, I tried.'' Pouring a hot mug of coffee for himself, Wyatt just gave me one last look. It was a look I'd seen a lot in recent months. It was the look of sympathy.
Unable to look at the sadness in his eyes any longer, I just stared out the window once again, getting lost in the sounds of the rain, ''It's been almost two months, Wyatt... What if?''
''Don't even go there...'' Looking up, at Wyatt's drawn out face, I noticed he'd placed his hand on my shoulder. Knowing it was there. Knowing he was there was a comfort. "We'll find them''.
''Finding them, isn't what I'm afraid of'''. Looking out at the rain once again, the only thoughts that were in my head, were of what the previous month and a half had been like for me. Sleep hadn't been a big factor. Every night, was a different nightmare. Imagining the worst possible thoughts that I possibly could have thought about.
''Morning''. Melinda's different now. Not knowing where Maria or Cece was, had been tough on her as much as anyone, but one good change had occurred for her. She finally had her brothers back.
I saw it every time I looked at him. The guilt in Wyatt's eyes. He remembered all of the bad things that he did as the Source, and he hated himself for it. But the one thing that he regretted the most, was how much he had her hurt his baby sister, Melinda.
''Hey... You all set for your first day back at magic school?'' Wyatt asked Melinda, in a caring voice.
''I don't see why I have to go''. Melinda opened the fridge and took out a bottle of orange juice.
Now that Magic School has re-open, anyone who didn't finish it, was been forced to do so. Myself, Junior, and Maria hadn't finished, but since we'd been active with our powers over the past four and a half years, we'd been exempt from finishing. However Melinda hadn't been active, so she had no choice but to go back. And let's just say she wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea.
''Because, unlike the others, your powers haven't been active, and you've a lot more to learn.''
''I think I liked you better when you were evil''. Melinda said this in a joking way.
I couldn't help but smile as I watched Wyatt glare at Melinda. Watching those two rebuild their relationship over the last couple of months was the only thing that had given me hope.
Melinda's laughter filled the room, with warmth. But once it stopped, I could feel her eyes on me. Wyatt at this stage had gone over towards the cupboards to get a bowl out for cereal. Melinda, worrying about me, but too afraid to ask me herself, wondered over to him.
''Is she okay?''
And there it was. The pity. ''I'm not deaf'''... I interrupted Melinda before she could say anything else. Getting up from the counter I strolled over towards the sink to place my plate and cup into it... ''And I'm fine... So you don't have to worry about me''... Walking away I headed back towards the counter, and picked my bag up from it… ''I have class.'' Unable to say anymore I just left the kitchen.
I couldn't stand it. Having everyone pitying me. It was smothering. And to be honest it just made me feel like I was drowning. And although I knew their hearts were in the right place, it didn't make It any easier.

Third Person P.O.V.
In the time that's occured since Maria beat Mallorax, and Wyatt has become good, once again, Magic School has become reformed. It has returned to what it once was, a School for the magically gifted. Henry jr. has followed in his mother's footsteps and is now teaching there, and now that the spell that was keeping the Elders from making contact with Earth and the Charmed Descendants, has been broken since Mallorax was vanquished, Henry jr. is now a fully fledge White Lighter also.
However, it's not just Junior that has returned to the Halls of Magic School, the younger charmed children have returned to study there, along with the rest of the magical community.
But although Magic School is once again run by good, evil forces still roam the Halls, but not how you might think.
''Please?... Why are you doing this? Why are you punishing me?... I thought we were a team.''
It was a dark day for all the Descendants, the day of the big battle, not just Maria. And it changed everyone… Some more than others.
''Please... Just let me go.'' Tears rolled down Jayda's bloody face, as she begged for her life. With everything that was happening with Mallorax, no one, not even her best friend Maria, noticed that Jayda had disappeared.
''I'm afraid I can't do that.'' Holding a small surgical knife, Penny walked towards Jayda, with a sad look on her face. "I'm sorry." Screams travelled through the dungeons of Magic School, as Penny cut into a frightened Jayda.
...
Present Day...
Bloody and torn a broken Jayda hangs in the dungeons of Magic school… Is this end… Or just the beginning? Screams soar through dammed walls of Magic School.
So that's it, Chapter 1... Just a sneak peak of what has been happening in the aftermath of the big battle. I hope you guys enjoyed, and ill post the next chapter as soon as i can. :)
