Authors note: This is a sequal to my fanfic A Different Destiny. It carries on where we left off. Poppy and Jude have been reunited and now the family will pursue the demon that took him. Along the way we will see the introduction of Gabby, a new character, as well as find out more about the Halliwell cousins and the Brennans.
Prologue
Melinda stood before her family, unsure of her future and that of her unborn child. She had been raised hearing that she was the strongest Halliwell witch ever born, but there seemed to be a lot of those in her family. Her mother, then her aunt Piper and now her own child would be stronger than Melinda ever hoped to be. What good was it to have power when it endangered everyone that she loved? As it was her own mother, grandmother and namesake had suffered what seemed to be an overwhelming likelihood with each day. To die at so young an age as to never experience what life had to offer; to never realize the significance of now. What good was looking into the future when it changed with all the endless possibilities in the world? All you could do was live for right now, this very moment and live to its full potential.
The Darkness hung on the wind as the city of San Francisco stormed and was consumed with lightning and thunder. It was the rain's rapid pulsation as it clattered to the green earth that seduced the entity in a primal dance of flickering, banging lights sent from an angry God.
The Dark one thought on at their own love-hate relationship with its creator. How could God not love his own creation, one that he himself had taken from the earth's soil and had thought perfection? How could God expect perfection to bow before another whose own birth came forth of the same manner? Rage had corrupted its being and now God's creations would know the despair the darkness would have been subjected to by God's hands.
