Charmed- Next Generation
Chapter 1: Dreaming Of The End
The Halliwell Manor was flying in all directions. There went the good old grandfather clock, onto the next door neighbour's front yard, its clock face shattering instantly. Overhead the hall table flew, closely followed by the sunroom white-wicker couch. Then there was only silence and a big black cloud hovering, waiting to consume the old lives of the next generation.
Christopher Halliwell, the oldest son of Piper Halliwell-Wyatt and Leo Wyatt, grabbed his little sister Prudence-Melinda and ducked for cover, fear clouding his chocolate brown eyes. Their older brother, Wyatt Halliwell, ducked near them, his arms protectively covering his little brother and sister. Loud screams and heart-breaking sobs could be heard nearby, somewhere in the rubble. And as the silence finally settled over the remains of The Halliwell Manor, they all knew…It had happened…They were gone…Forever..

Lorelei Valentine opened her eyes, for the first time in what seemed like hours. She quickly did a scope of the ruins, tears of fear rolling down her pale cheeks. She could her little sister Lilly crying loudly nearby, a sense of helplessness washing over her. She looked down, sighing in relief to see her baby sister Laney under the old couch. She hastily wiped the tears from her cheeks, a soft cry of anguish escaping from her mouth as she looked at her home, surrounding her in ruins.

Lilly fell into Chris's arms, literally, her pale face so like her mothers; it broke Lorelei's heart all over again. Prue ran to Laney, holding her gently, Wyatt soon hugging them both. Lorelei shivered and sat quickly on an old wall of the sunroom, half torn down in the explosion, a sense of fear, loss and dread washing over her. She glanced to the side, hearing rubble being shifted, she ran towards the sound, crying desperately "Mum?! Mum?!" Her scratched and torn fingers pulling helplessly at the heavy wooden bookcase. She heard a low soft moan of pain, instantly recognizing her little cousin Holly's voice, soon followed by a similar moan from Holly's twin Hope. She turned and spotted 6 bodies, close together, instantly recognizing her mother, father, and both aunties and uncles. She screamed loudly and suddenly everything went black..

Lorelei lurched into a sitting position, screaming loudly "Mum!!" Chris came running into her bedroom, instantly running to her side, his arms going around her, gently rocking her back and forth, murmuring "It's ok, shhh, it's ok.." Lorelei shook her head, muttering "No. No. It's not. It's not!" She shuddered violently and grabbed at her blanket, turning to Chris, tears filling her chocolate brown doe eyes as she whispered "They're never coming back are they..?"
