Always There.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Charmed. Anyone not from the show is a figment of my imagination.
Set in the changed future. Wyatt and Chris have grown up and moved out. What does the future hold for them, their family and their new friends?
This has been in my head for a while and just would not leave until I wrote it down. It is all about making new friends, falling in love and learning that life is never easy even if you have magical powers.

Chapter 1: Moving Out.
Wyatt threw the packing box down and sighed. It was going to take him and his brother days to be sorted but it was better then being at home. He loved his mom, dad and sister dearly but it was nice to have his own space and he knew Chris felt the same. He walked into the kitchen looking for something to drink but there was nothing. They really needed to go shopping. He headed to the door. Chris had gone to get the last of the boxes and would be a while yet. He spotted a young woman walking along the hallway. She had her hands full with grocery bags. He quickly walked over to her.
"Let me take some of these," he said taking a couple of bags out of her hands.
"Thanks a lot," she said smiling and he realized she had the brightest blue eyes he had ever seen. She walked to the door opposite his and unlocked it. She dumped the bags in the kitchen and Wyatt did the same.
"Thanks again. This building really needs to get the lift fixed," she said looking at the young man who had come to her aid. He was tall blond and very good looking.
"You're telling me. It's been a nightmare lugging all our stuff up here," he replied.
"I take it you are moving in next door then."
"Yeah. I'm Wyatt Halliwell," he said holding out his hand.
"Hi. I'm Jacie Bolton. It's nice to meet you," she said shaking his hand.
"Do you live here alone?"
"No I live with my best mate Kaila. She is at work. What about you?"
"With my younger brother Chris. He is just getting the last few boxes."
"Cool. Would you like a drink? I've got lemonade or coke," she said walking back towards the kitchen.
"I would love a coke thanks," he said following her into the kitchen.
"We are having a BBQ tonight why don't you come along. It will give you a chance to meet some of the others who live here. Most are really cool," she said sitting on the couch. .
"Sounds like fun," he replied smiling at the woman, she had a beautiful smile. He sat on a chair near her and they discussed the horrors of moving.
"Honey I'm home," said a voice from the door.
"You have never been funny Kaila," said Jacie rolling her eyes as a young brunette walked in.
"Yeah but you still love me. Hi there," she said spotting Wyatt.
"I'm Wyatt Halliwell. Your new neighbour," he said shaking her hand.
"I'm Kaila Cordeiro. It's really nice to meet you," she replied grinning then turned to her friend and whispered.
"Cute." Jacie just glared at her.
Later that evening Wyatt and Chris walked outside to find the garden full of people laughing and joking. Wyatt scanned the area looking for Jacie. He saw her walk out carrying a tray of drinks. He dragged Chris over to her. She put the tray down and turned to smile at them.
"Hey you made it. Hi you must be Chris," she said smiling at the man with Wyatt.
"Yeah so that makes you Jacie then," he replied smiling back.
"Yep and I'm Kaila her room mate," said a beautiful brunette.
"Hiya," said Chris grinning at her. She was gorgeous. A couple more people approached.
"Wyatt, Chris this is Teegan, Addie, Morgan, Tyler and Shanie," she said introducing the others around them.
"Am I the only one here with a normal name," said Chris grinning cheekily.
"Yeah I think you are but hey at least you guys weren't named after the place your parents conceived you," commented Addie.
"What," said Wyatt?
"My name is Adelaide after the city in Australia," she replied.
"Nice," replied Chris.
"The food is ready guys," said someone from over at the BBQ.
"So where is your pathetic excuse for a boyfriend?" asked Teegan.
"Hopefully millions of miles away dying a slow and painful death," said Kaila. Wyatt felt a little disappointed that she had a boyfriend.
"He is in New York working with his dad," replied Jacie glaring at Kaila. She knew none of her friends liked Ryan but they had been together ages and he was generally a nice guy.
"Time you dumped him Jace," said Addie joining the conversation. Wyatt guessed that her boyfriend must be a real jerk. He hoped she would take her friends advice and dump him. Chris sidled up to Kaila. Man she was pretty he thought.
"So you got a boyfriend then Kaila?" he asked hoping she would say no.
"Nope my ex was a demon," she said and a look passed between her and Jacie. Wyatt shot his head up at the word demon.
"He sure was. I mean trying it on with your best friend. Not cool," said Shanie walking over. Chris and Wyatt both breathed a sigh of relief as they realized they didn't mean the sort of demons they knew.
"I have a feeling there are way better men out there," she said winking at Chris who grinned right back.
A couple of hours later and everyone was discussing going out to a club.
"Why don't we go to P3?" suggested Chris.
"Yeah. We haven't been there in ages," agreed Kaila.
"Will we get in though? It's always so packed on a Saturday night," said Jacie.
"I think we can get you guys in don't you Wy," said Chris grinning.
"Well we do know the owner," replied Wyatt.
"You do cool," said Addie.
"Yeah. The boss loves us so we can get in for free," added Chris grinning at their confused faces. Kaila suddenly realised what he was getting at.
"Oh my god. Piper Halliwell is your mom!" she exclaimed.
"Yep so we should get in ok," said Wyatt smiling at the shocked expression on Jacie's face. She smiled at him and he felt like he was falling into her eyes. Stop it Wyatt she has a boyfriend he admonished himself.
"Let's go then," said Jacie standing up. She held her hand out to Wyatt. He hesitated for a second then took it. She pulled him up and they all headed off to P3.
At the end of the night only Wyatt, Chris, Kaila and Jacie are still there. They say goodbye to Piper and head out. Everyone had a good time and Chris and Kaila seem to be getting on really well. Wyatt enjoyed having a dance with Jacie too and spent the whole night reminding himself she had a boyfriend.
As they walked past an alley, Jacie froze.
"What is it Jace?" asked Kaila.
"Trouble," she replied looking down the alley as two demons shimmered in. Chris and Wyatt went into attack mode and moved in front of the girls.
"Hide," yelled Chris to them. Both girls looked at each other and then pushed past the boys. The demon looked at the girls and grinned.
"We meet again," he said to them. Chris and Wyatt were shocked that the girls knew the demon.
"So we do Jarere," said Kaila and she telekinetically threw him against the wall. Jacie turned and blasted the other one to pieces. Wyatt and Chris advanced on the other demon. He took one look at them and conjured a fireball. He threw it at Kaila but Chris deflected back at Jarere and killed him. The four turned to face each other.
"So I'm guessing you two are witches then," said Jacie breaking the silence.
"Well witchlighters actually," replied Chris. He couldn't believe they had been hanging out with witches all night.
"Cool," said both girls together and they laughed.
"Would you like an orb home?" asked Wyatt.
"Nah I think Jace can handle it," said Kaila and the two female witches orbed away. Wyatt and Chris both looked at each other confused by what they had just seen and orbed after the girls.
Authors Note: So have Chris and Wyatt met some new friends and how come one can orb. Will Jacie dump her boyfriend for Wyatt and what about Chris and Kaila.
