Chapter 1

            Hi.  You may be wondering who I am.  My name's Kyoko. Kyoko Halliwell.  I understand that my name doesn't sound American.  That's because it's not.  You see I'm adopted.  I was left on my parents' doorstep.  My aunt convinced my mom to adopted me.  Thus, the house needed to be remolded.  My sister and I use to share a room.  That was, until the house was done remolding.  Now, I have my own room. 

            Let me tell you about my parents.  My dad's a doctor, although he's not around much.  Actually, he's a Whitelighter.  But, he does work in a hospital, or more like a private clinic.  He has to leave unexpectedly at times.  My mom owns a nightclub.  It's pretty cool, since I get to perform there with my band, and I get to help.  My aunt Phoebe works for a magazine.  She's got her own column.  My aunt Paige use to be a social worker.  She still is.  She went back to work when my siblings and I were old enough to stay home by ourselves.  My brother's a big pain in the ass.  Since he's the oldest, he thinks he runs the house when Dad's not home.  My sister is a complete spoiled brat.  She's the prettiest in our grade, and gets a new boyfriend like every week.  Me, I'm the committed one.  That means, that I'm committed to everything I do.  That includes school, my band, dancing, after school clubs, the school newspaper, yearbook, and the occasional theatre classes.  Yup, that's me.

            Now, there's one little thing that I didn't tell you.  I'm a witch.  It's not just me, my whole family is.  I mentioned earlier that my dad's a Whitelighter.  Well, a Whitelighter is another way of saying Guardian Angel.  My sister, Melinda, and my brother, Wyatt, are part Whitelighter, part Witch.  Me, I don't know.  But, my dad claims that I'm full witch.  But, that's not important. 

            I led a pretty normal life.  I went to school, hang out with my friends, succeeded in school, and had fun.  I'm currently single, but I could care less.  Having a boyfriend isn't that important to me-but it is to my sister.  My brother's in college, so at least he's out of my hair.  But, my life changed that fateful day…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

            I was working on my article for the school newspaper.  My mom just had a party earlier, since it was her birthday.  It was celebrated about two days late, since she wanted me and Melinda to stay up late, and don't worry about school.   I was up in my room when the last of the guests began to leave.  I suddenly felt something.  It's a hard feeling to describe, but I'll do my best.  It felt as if someone was touching me, seducing me.  But, there was no one in my room but me.  I panicked at first, but then gave in.  It felt as if this feeling was familiar.  I felt a person's hands going up and down my body.  The strangest thing was that this person also had either really long nails, or claws.  My white nightgown slowly slipped off, and I felt a sharp pain on my neck.  I didn't mind, but what happened next I did.  I felt one of those hands going under my panties, and cupping my genital.  I shrieked, and fell off the bed.  Guess my parents heard that, 'cuz the next thing I knew, they came storming into my room.

            "What happened," my dad asked.

            "I don't know," I answered him.

            "Honey, what's that on your neck," mom asked.  I went to my mirror, and saw what looked like fang marks.  This new mark was also bleeding a bit.

            "I don't know," I repeated.

            "Do you think that she's experiencing what I went through," asked my aunt Phoebe.

            "What you went through," asked my aunt Paige, confusingly. 

            "I'll explain later," answered aunt Phoebe.

            "Why don't we deal with this later," insisted my dad.  I went back to bed as everyone left, but my mom.

            "You sure you're going to be okay," she asked.  I nodded.

            "Ok.  Night."  She kissed my forehead, and then left.  I snuggled into my bed, replaying the events that just happened in my head.

Author's note:  Hey.  If you guys out there don't understand Charmed, it's fine.  This is a sequel.  You're gonna have to read An Undying Love, in order to get what's going on.  Bye.
