Hey guys, this is my first story so there are some things I'd like to explain. Bella is the daughter of Lois Lane and Clark Kent. Lois is a Cromwell witch and so are most of her and Clark's kids. Bella is number three of ten kids and she has three brothers and six sisters. Serenity is Bella's adoptive daughter. If you want more of the back story then you can send me a review asking for it and I will send it to you in a PM.

Isabella went and sat down next to her daughter, and watched as she sent spirals of color down her arm, through her finger tips on to the drawing pad in front of her on the coffee table. When the picture was finished Serenity handed her the drawing and said calmly, "One week."

Isabella felt the blood leave her face and she turned to watch as Serenity picked up the TV remote and flipped through the channels until she found the BBC morning news...
