Blink of an Eye chapter 1. Mae-E and I own nothing except for the OCS
Angel Grove, Hart House February 14, 1996
Caroline watched as her daughter said goodbye to her closest friends, kids that have spent so much time in her house they might as well be hers as well. She smirks and shakes her head at the idea. She knew today was not easy for Kim, not having her father here today even after he promised to be here, hurt Kim deeply. Ever the little trooper she put on a brave face to enjoy her party and showing a maturity far beyond her 12 years.
As much as Caroline and her husband fought she never thought he let Kim down. He loved her as his own, but the fighting and the impending divorce has made him bitter, and now he seems to be taking it out on Kim as well.
One bright spot in the day was her friend Leo who Kim loved like an uncle came to visit for her party. His presence really cheered Kim up. Caroline only hoped that having him here would help cushion the blow of the news she had for her little girl.
"Kim, come here please," requested Caroline as she saw the door close and that her daughter was now alone with her and Leo for the first time since early this morning. Little Kim, in her beautiful pink party dress and curled hair, does as she is asked, sitting down on the couch next to her mother and her uncle Leo.
"You know I love you, right baby?" Caroline says and Kim nods "Yes, mom," she says looking at her mom confused about what's going on.
"I have something difficult to tell you. I wish it could wait till you are older, but that is just not the case," Caroline stated. "I know mom, you and daddy are going to get divorced." And looks glum, it's then that Leo nod that turns to Kim to "True, but what your mom has to tell you is even more important" he says
Kim gulps and says, "Okay, but what could be more important than daddy not loving us anymore?" she asks becoming more confused by the minute. Caroline gives Leo a pained look before starting, "This might be difficult for you to understand, and a bit overwhelming but you have to listen to all of it." Kim nods and looks up at her mother waiting patiently. "On the day you were born, you were so tiny, when they placed you in my arms I fell in love with you, but I didn't give birth to you. One of my best friends did, unfortunately, she died a few hours after you were born. So I adopted you because I was all you had left in the world" Caroline explains
At this point Leo took over talking to Kim "Honey, you know how you love all those fairy tales and Disney movies and fantasy stories in general," Kim nods her head but remains silent. "Well, what if I told you, that it was all true? And that all of us in this room including you were magical people?" Kim looks at him wide-eyed then after a few minutes fainted. "Well she took that rather well don't you think?" asked Caroline sarcastically. Leo just rolled his eyes and went to revive Kim.
After waking Kim they slowly explained over the rest of the day, about her real parents Tristan and Celia Mitchell. How Celia was a witch, and her father was a whitelighter as well Caroline, and Leo were whitelighters, as and that Kim was half of one. That whitelighters were guardian angels for witches and future whitelighters. That her parents love story broke all the rules because he was supposed to watch over and protect good witches not fall in love with one. That they had to get married in secret because her father's bosses would not have allowed them to otherwise, that they had many happy years together, but a darklighter had become infatuated with her mother but she rejected his advances and he swore revenge. Which he eventually got, attacking her parents when her mother was only days away from giving birth. Her father died protecting her and her mother, while her mother died shortly after childbirth. How it was only by the intervention of an angel of destiny that said that Kim was destined for great things that allowed her father's bosses to let her live. She learned all about her parent's lives, and how very much they loved her.
Finally, she learned that she was also a witch like her mother and that soon she would come into her powers. It was a great deal for someone as young as Kim to take in, but to her credit, she handled it better than most adults would have. The hardest part for Kim to deal with is that the people she thought were her parents weren't. Even knowing that it didn't take the sting out of her stepfather's rejection of her during the divorce, all the arguing she had to listen to before he finally moved out. Life was rough for a while but after about 2 years things seemed to level out. Kim turned 14 without incident and life seemed to be looking up and she was learning how to be happy again. Little did she know That her life was going to be changed monumentally yet again.
