I watched as alice walked though the front door I hadn't seen her in three years we had separated because of grams death and I felt like I didn't fit in anymore so I went off to new York.
Alice had written a book but she decided that wasn't what she wanted to be an, author she is very talented in the kitchen to she tried that as well but that went wrong too so now she owns a club called the halliwells water.
I came back because, I don't know I had a sense, I had to come back sort of like a calling it was just making me want to come back.
I loved the fact that we were together again I used to be such a pain I wouldn't do anything grams asked but I have long since changed.
Rosalie rushed forward and gave alice a hug you would have thought they hadn't seen each other in years when it was only a few days because alice had gone away to get something for the club it took longer than she had thought.
Rose was considered the one with the looks she had our fathers blonde hair his eyes and his personality Alice had our mothers brown hair our dads eyes and mums height she was about a foot smaller than me alice was the kindest one she was the peacemaker so if we ever got in a fight she would help break us up.
And then there was me Isabella phoebe piper prue Elizabeth Marie halliwell known as the stupidest reckless singer who never does anything right the one who looked exactly like mom long mahogany brown hair that reached halfway down my back I had moms lilac eyes except for her height I was taller than mom I had her figure, curves in all the right places and I kept myself pretty fit.
Alice walked into the foyer of the manor
"why didn't we ever meet up before?" alice asked
"because alice we all had work and stuff" rose pointed out
"yes ali how is the club going?" I asked she smiled and she gave me a hug hello "well I need to get some younger audience in then it'll be rockin" we all laughed at her
"have you explored yet?" alice asked getting all excited
"alice we used to live here remember" rose said laughing at alice "yeah well we haven't lived here in three years grams might've changed something" we rolled our eyes and walked into the kitchen
"oh look it's the spirit board we used to play with" alice said smiling she placed the board on the table in the sunroom we turned on the lights because it was pitch black in the room
She put the arrow on the board "anyone want coffee?" everyone nodded me and rose sat down as alice went to get coffee me and rose were catching up when all of a sudden the arrow on the spirit board starts moving it went to A me and rose stood up
"er alice come in here please" rose called the arrow moved to T alice came in
"whats up?" alice asked the arrow moved up but then back down to T "hello that's new" alice remarked the arrow then moved to I then to C "attic that's what it said" I said as it started thundering and lightening
"lets do some of that exploring now alice" I said went into the kitchen grabbed some torches and headed for the stairs the others joined me we linked arms and started up the stairs we had just got to the top of the stairs weaving in between boxes we haven't unpacked yet
"I've got dibs on that room" alice said pointing to a room down the hallway "then I get that one" I said pointing to the room next to the bathroom as we turned the last corner to get to the attic I tripped on thin air and because of our linked arms I brought the others down with me we all started laughing in the heap we had landed on
"huh I landed on something soft" alice said
"yeah me" I said and groaned we all laughed again we heard a loud tinkering soft bell like sound we all stopped
"you heard that too right?" I said they laughed again some what slightly uncomfortable we all got up and walked the five steps or so to get to the attic
Alice stepped forward to the door gripped the handle and pushed nothing happened she moved so her shoulder was against the door she pushed a bit harder still nothing
"it must be locked" rose stated
"well duh" I said she looked at me a playful smirk on her face
"don't get mouthy with me dear little beloved sister of mine im still the oldest here" she said a playful smile threatening to break her face
"yeah im not sure if that is a good thing or not" I said laughing as she playfully shoved me we turned and started back down the corridor and the sound of a creaking door sounded over our playful banter
"we should get oil for that door "alice said I was the first to walk forward soon followed by the others we started looking around
"hey guys do you remember this?" alice asked me and rose looked over it was a picture of us three we were stood apart because well we weren't close I was a pain rose was a workaholic alice was busy with her book
It was funny because we all looked the same as we did three years ago if I had realised mum before she died and dad before he left had put a studio in the basement I would have stayed here to work but I still do work in town and here but when im here its mainly because ive got a project and I have no way to get into town or because I need to get my feelings out
"im 27 and still look the same as I was 3 years ago not that im complaining but how does that work?" rose asked she looked at us
"well I was 21 and now am 24 I haven't changed a bit except from my hair" alice argued
"well bella was 18 now she 21 that is unfair" rose said I just laughed at their stupid argument
I turned around and caught sight of a chest it was like a bigger magnet pulling a smaller magnet I couldn't stop myself walking towards it I opened it up curiosity burning away at my insides at first glance it would be a chest of rubbish but It was a chest of potions it had candles matches different herbs and spices there was this huge book on the top that had a symbol on the front it was of three interlocking arcs like the tattoos grams let us get on the base of our necks at the back
"hey bells what did you find?" rose asked I dropped the lid as fast as I could
"oh its nothing just something of grams" I said hurriedly she nodded "lets look at this again tomorrow when we have more light" everyone nodded I turned and pretended to be absolutely absorbed In something
"you coming bells?" alice asked
"oh er in a minute" I said as I looked up I saw roses eyes flicker to what I was currently touching her eyes softened and she smiled softly
"okay well come down when you've finished" she said I nodded and looked back down the first thing I saw was moms lilac eyes they were just like mine but mine were slightly darker after dads brown eyes I smiled at the sight of her I had never known her when she died I was only three I had always wondered why she had lilac eyes I put the photo down and walked over to the huge chest
I opened the lid and picked out the huge thick book I opened it up to the first page was an incantation
Hear now the voice of the witches, the secrets we hid in the night, the oldest of spells are invoked here, the great gift of magic is sought in this night and in this hour and in this night I'll call upon the ancient power ,bring your powers to us sisters three we want the power give us the power , listen hear now the witches words , give us the power
I said this out loud
I claim whats ours we three are one to do the good we're meant to do, we receive the gift three powers ours give us the power
I looked up and around nothing I breathed out CRASH! "ahhh" Okay so maybe something I ran down the stairs only noticing out of the corner of my eye the picture of us being so far apart magically being brought closer
"whats wrong?" I asked I then only noticed the chandelier had fallen to the floor "oh dear god I knew this place was falling apart but this is terrible" alice said who had come in with me
"there was something on the wall like the tattoo we have" rose said frantically I looked at the book under my arm and slowly put it behind my back "are you sure hunny that you didn't imagine it?" alice asked "it wouldn't be the first time" I said grinning and getting out of rose's way as we mucked around
"well ill go and unpack this box to my room" I said picking up a box the others nodded and I walked up the stairs
I walked into my room put the book of shadows on my bed my room was the smallest, on the wall next to the wall with the door was my bed my room was the same shade as my eyes I had a desk where I had put my laptop with all my music a bedside table and a built in wardrobe and six medium shelves with all my cds on which I was running out of space I was pulling out my ipod touch and my apple work laptop out when I sighed turned and just looked at the book it was definitely pulling me towards it I walked over and sat on the bed and floral bed sheets I opened the book and flipped the page it was all in fancy posh old writing so I kept flickering passed different demons and warlocks until I came to a page that titled
"being a witch" I laughed a bit obvious
Protect your secret at all times
What ? No stir your caldron oh and don't forget to cackle
2. No using your powers or spells for self gain
Wow! Deep
your innocent
lilac eyes are much more powerful ,their instincts are sharper along with their senses remember they may seem stupid but they are master minds they are the most powerful witch you can get
Lilac eyes I have lilac eyes
5. White lighters are always right
6. don't try to find a demon but don't forget warlocks are even worse
7. The time of the charmed ones will be great
The time of the charmed ones
The line kept repeating in my head I shut the book and shoved it under my pillows the phone started ringing I was at the top of the stairs
"bella phone" alice called I smiled " got it" I said as I picked up the phone by the stairs "hello bella halliwell" I said speaking into the phone "ah bella its Phil Collins here you know your boss" I smiled "yes I know who you are" I said rolling my eyes when ever he phoned he always said that
"well I got three new films for you" I nodded of course he does and leant against the wall he told me about all the different songs and all the descriptions that I would need to know "you'll need to bring them in tomorrow" he warned
"tomorrow how the hell am I supposed to do three songs at …" I looked at my watch " 10 o'clock at night that's just deluded im sorry boss but that's impossible" I practically yelled I heard him laugh
" I know I was joking for Friday please" I was so annoyed I felt like I wanted to hit something I was surprised at myself for being a non violent person unless I need to kick ass
"fine" I growled I was expecting him to say something he always does when he annoys me "hello boss hello Phil" I said I looked at the phone its was incased in ice "whoa!" I said stepping back and dropping the phone I ran down stairs
Its just your imagination bella just your imagination bella I just kept repeating in my head I walked straight to my boxes to get my note pad to write down what I needed for the songs just so I wouldn't forget I was searching though my boxes I could not find it
"hey you looking for this?" rose asked holding my song writing book in front of me
"HEY" I went to get it back but she snatched it back and ran into the kitchen I chased her into the kitchen alice was standing next to the island in the middle of the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee writing something on the newspaper we ran around her and the island she paid no attention to us just kept on what she was doing as we ran out into the sun room
I jumped on roses back throwing her to the floor "okay I give I give" she yelled I grabbed my song book and got up " just because you're the oldest" I jokingly sneered "nu uh cause you're the youngest" she shot back I rolled my eyes and we walked back into the kitchen
"thanks for all your help ali" I said acting annoyed she looked up and smiled "you had her lilac eyes" instantly the line from the book of shadows popped into my head
the lilac eyes are much more powerful is that how I got rose, no nonsense bella the book is fake you are not a witch grams wasn't a witch and neither was mom stop thinking like that
I smiled and grabbed a pen and started jotting down what phil said as I was writing I remembered the whole freezing phone thing I smiled to myself again
"well hello miss smiley what are you smiling about" rose asked she looked at my notes "another job I see" she said looking over my shoulder
"well you wouldn't see if you kept to your own business" I playfully shoved her away and stuck out my tongue
"well I think I'll go to bed I mean ive got work to do in the morning I might as well get my beauty sleep" I said actually going to read the book of shadows
"yeah you'll need all the beauty you can get" rose called I just stuck out my tongue again she rolled her eyes I was halfway up the stairs
"rose your just jealous of my good looks" I said and ran up the stairs I could only hear a faint "oh yeah"
I just laughed I got changed into my pj black lace bra and my black short shorts you would think that it would cool down in the autumn but It doesn't well not in California it just rains then its sunny rains then sunny but it was far too hot to get under the covers so I stayed above the floral covers that matched my curtains
I pulled out the book placed it on my lap and just let it fall onto any page that it wanted grams always said "if it was meant to be then it will be" I never knew what she was on about but thinking about it its quite clever
In big fancy letters it read "white lighters" oh yes the book read something about white lighters white lighters are always right yes and im always wrong I wonder what it feels like to always get things right
"white lighters are angels who were once humans but people who are naturally good hearted they guide people and witches future white lighters they look up to lilac eyed witches that are priestesses and the elders they can transport and heal people its what makes them a white lighter you can only kill a white lighter with a dark lighters poison" it read on
I flipped the page on one page in big red letters it read dangerous balvasor the other was blank
"who the heck is balvasor" I asked out loud not really expecting an answer but got one anyway suddenly a red figure came out of no where he was red with black marks on his face he was tall and had huge teeth
"IM BALVASOR" I jumped back in fright and he was gone I didn't know whether I had imagined it or not I was so scared I slept with the light on
Epov
I was visiting some demon friends I mean the demon of illusion had taught me some pretty descant tricks but as I was shimmering I heard an angelic voice
"who the heck is balvasor" I laughed I hated when people didn't know who I was I felt I need to make myself known
"IM BALVASOR" the angel jumped back in fright I knew her from somewhere like from a dream like before I found out I had a demon side when I was proper human, she had a huge book in front of her it looked equally powerful.
She was from when I was a model before my life got complicated the woman was only wearing a black lace bra and black hot pants I know this sounds weird but I know that body of a certain purple eyed wait purple eyed? Then that mean she knew she was a witch she said she told me everything
However angry I was it didn't stop me from giving her an extra visit that night I shimmered in and quickly had to hide her sisters where there "good night bella" a blonde one said she turned the light off and exited the room shutting the door behind her I walked out from the wardrobe I was currently in habiting
I walked over to the pure beauty she was still as beautiful as she was three years ago the moon was shining in through the window leaving a milky moonish glow across her features she turned and sleep sighed and she turned away from me I was disappointed she would not let me see her face I stepped a little closer to her cutting off the moons sight of her, her forehead creased a little then a small smile appeared then she turned and her hand fell as she turned and brushed against mine I was so chuffed I could restrain the demon inside of me
I brushed a fore finger against her face she leaned into my hand I couldn't deal with it all the human emotions I had suppressed I had thrown them to the back off my being I couldn't deal with how she reacted to me so I shimmered away and to my apartment.
However far I ran from her I felt the urge to be near her I needed to speak to her I needed to see her again so I shimmered back into her room and into her wardrobe she was just in her underwear pulling on a top it was a spaghetti strapped blue and white stripy top and denim short shorts.
"bella can you come down here please?" I heard a sister call this time after bella had walked out I waited for a few minutes and then crept out of her room and down the big stair case and waited outside the kitchen door
"alice I've got to go into town to the studio to get some more blank cds to put some music on its all work related" bella said to alice im guessing is the blonde one
"I understand that bells but rose and I need you at home to unpack properly" the short one said which means I got it wrong the blonde one is Rosalie
"ill have to do it when I finish work ive got a lot to do today I don't need any distractions" she said she finished buttering a piece of toast stuffed it in her mouth and shouted "see you guys later" she started walking towards me I turned around frantically looking for a hiding place I spotted the front door and legged it
I ran down the street and then turned and made it look like I was just walking down the street bella hadn't noticed she got into a land rover and started driving I smiled and I waited for about half an hour far from when she was out of sight and thought about where she was I felt the power well up from inside of me and I shimmered
I had shimmered to her studio she was singing
Mr blue sky
We're so pleased to be with you
But soon comes mr night creeping
over now his hand is on your shoulder
Every night ill remember you this way
She was amazing she knew the song so well she was dancing around while singing pointing when ever a sound effect had to come on the song soon finished and she stopped
I walked out of the room to where a lady with a tray of cups of coffee I offered to take them In for her which she obliged quickly
I walked back into the studio with the coffee she took one "thanks" she said not really taking any notice "your welcome" I said under my breath and started serving others with a smile on my face
"where Annie? She always gives us coffee" asked one guy
"oh she's been overloaded with paper work so I offered to help out" I lied smoothly bella picked up her stuff and was just walking out when I pretended to look like I was walking the same way and stuck my foot out we both went tumbling over her dropping all of her papers
"oh my please forgive me im not usually this clumsy its just ive got so much to do" bella gushed I smiled same old bella always thinking about others
"no really its my fault I should have just collected the coffee and left but I couldn't help myself" I said "I recognise your voice do we know each …" she had started we were crouched over staring into each others eyes
"edward?" she breathed she reached out a hand and was about to touch my face "tell me if I touch you , you wont disappear" she asked but she didn't wait for an answer she touched my cheek anyway
"What happened you just disappeared I was so worried" she said tears had rushed to her eyes we stood up her still touching my cheek I took her hand in mine
"I had some issues to sort out hopefully they are all gone" I said she smiled "so your not in the modelling business anymore" she said
"no when you left they wanted me to do a lot of intimate stuff just because we didn't mind doing it all together and I didn't want to do it unless it was with you" she laughed "you always was a smoothie" she giggled
"only for you" I kissed her hands "but my angel I have to go we talk soon ok?" she nodded and I walked away taking the tray with me
Rpov
I was walking into the police station I had just finished taking some pictures of the murder victim and was just giving them in when I heard my name being called
"rose? I thought that was you" said emmet? My ex boyfriend from high school "em? Is that you?" I asked quite shocked at it myself but he had certainly aged well he is gorgeous
"it most certainly is bunny" he said I rolled my eyes at his nickname for me "you are looking amazing bunny" I smiled at his flattery
"we should catch up some time when are you free next?" he asked "well only tomorrow but you remember bella right well she'll be home all day tomorrow so just head other there any time you remember the manor? Well ill be there around three to fourish we can talk then" I asked he nodded and turned and walked off
What was up with bella this morning she rushed off to work saying she had lots to do the girl is in a world of her own sometimes she came home earlier in such a happy mood she just said she met an old friend
"alice hunny do you know whats up with bella" I asked she looked up from making her lunch she was quite a talented cook she shook her head no so I motioned towards the basement and she nodded as we walked down the steps to the basement we heard the music before we were on the bottom step
No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they say
No matter if the sun don't shine my life began with you
I know this loves forever
that's all that matters no matter what
She obviously did something wrong because she groaned and started playing the piano again
"ahem" I coughed she froze "bella are you okay?" alice asked taking a step forward
"whats wrong? I cant get this right and if I don't then im going to get fired and god forbid we lose a means of money income to fix this thing we call a house Im not left alone long enough to do so" she threw her hands up in the air
" no what happened in the attic?" I said annoyance lacing every word I didn't mean to be so mean but we needed to know what was wrong with her
"how do you know about- what? I don't know what your talking about" she said trying to look innocent "what?" alice asked taking another step forward
"Isabella phoebe prudence piper Elisabeth Marie halliwell if you do not tell me what stupid thing you have done or so help me I will burn every unpacked box you still haven't unpacked " I said sternly almost yelling
"the book" bella said turning around "book? What book?" she looked at alice then at me "come on its in my room" she said
Apov
I was making coffee for everyone considering it was getting a bit heated in here "the chosen ones? the charmed ones? Bella this is insane" rose persisted I brought their drinks in front of them
"are you saying you didn't see the future or move things with your mind?" she asked "why are you so sure you can control ice?" I asked she looked quite sheepish "I froze the phone" she said smiling a apology
"I do not have special powers" rose yelled as the sugar moved and poured some into her cup of coffee "oh really looks quite special to me" bella said and taking a sip from her drink I couldn't move I was so shocked at what I had seen
"oh my god I just… I can move things with my mind" rose said looking so shocked "with how much you hold inside you should be a lethal weapon right now" bella remarked "this means alice you can see the future" rose said looking at me she looked upset at that
"are you okay?" I asked "no bella turned me into a witch" rose huffed prodding for an argument "nu uh you were born one" she said poking her tongue out "and I think we should live with it" she said
Next morning
"your up early" I stated while doing the washing she was always so lazy and she normally got up around 11
"never slept" she answered rubbing her eyes and getting a bowl "don't tell me you put on a conical black hat and spent the night flying around the neighbourhood on a broomstick?" I said while she laughed grabbing her cornflakes
"er I was tempted but decided to go against it just in case anyone saw me you know the consequences" this time I laughed
"so what were you doing?" I asked knowing perfectly well what she going to say "reading" she said and walking to get the milk
"is rose around?" she then asked "she went to work early" I said "reading aloud?" I asked watching closely
"no but according to the book of shadows, one of our ancestors was a witch named sinda warren" she said in between mouthfuls
"yeah and we have a cousin who's drunk an aunt who's manic and a fathers that's invisible!" I said while walking through the house to get to the front door I turned bella followed carrying her bowl shovelling it in
"I am serious she practiced powers, three powers, she could move objects with her mind freeze time and control ice and see visions" bella explained
"but before sinda burned at the stake she vowed that every generation of warren witches would get stronger awaiting three sisters which would be very powerful passing on the most powerful power to their next generation" she said taking a deep breath
"I think we are those sisters" she said shovelling some more cornflakes
"hunny I know you love the idea of being a witch but me and rose need to get used to it I mean I haven't even noticed mine yet" she looked heartbroken
"we just need to figure out your trigger I mean mine is annoyed and panicked roses is anger and I think annoyance" bella said
I just looked at her "look grams wasn't a witch and as far as we know neither was mom" I kissed her on the cheek
"we are the protectors f the innocent .we're known as the charmed ones " she said from the porch "mm-hmm" was all I replied
"and I beg to differ about grams" she called for a last shot
Bpov
I was in the attic again reading as I was doing a lot of lately you know memorising potions and spells but I couldn't help but go back to balvasor who was he what did he want ,this time I actually read his paragraph
Dangerous balvasor
Balvasor is the next most powerful demon next to the source
He is feared by most demons and his own kind his light whiter side is also known to be quite evil his mother a class 7 demon brought him up in the ways of a demon until when he was the age of 8 she was killed by the source for betrayal balvasor is a heartless individual. No one knows what his human side looks like you can only tell is his eyes are brighter. he cares for no one except his father who he has been searching for , for ten years
"most that isn't true" I jumped out of my skin at balvasor who was standing so close to me I hadn't heard him come in I grabbed the book "oh yeah well im starting to believe it" I said racking my brain for a spell that would make him leave
"its not going to work" he said I looked at him my brow creasing "every witch I killed have tried to think of a way to stop me" he lifted his hand which had started glowing blue he lifted the book out of my hands I tried holding onto it but he managed to get it out of my hands the book flew to the other side of the room
I looked at it as if I had just lost my favourite toy he laughed "im going to enjoy killing you lilac eyed" he sneered what! Lilac eyed
"im not a lilac eyed" I said as he stalked forward like a hunter cornering his prey he smiled
"you have lilac eyes" he stated I rolled my eyes still taking steps back
"yeah but that doesn't mean im a lilac eyed" I said in a duh! Tone he stopped and looked at me
"how does that work?" he asked I shrugged he just smiled and started to stalk forward again I took a step back and felt the wall behind me I threw my hands up and touched his shoulders
"I know where your father is" I said in desperation he looked shocked "where is my father?" he said desperation in his voice I sighed
"ok so that was a lie" I said he lifted an arm about to hit me
"but I can do this" I said and froze him not in ice just froze him I breathed out I grabbed the book and was walking out
"wait how did you get over there" balvasor asked getting angry I turned and saw him advancing on me I screamed slammed the door shut and heard him hiss out in pain as the door clipped him I ran down the stairs
I ran into the kitchen and locked the book into a cup board I heard the splintering of wood well there goes the attic door I ran into the dinning room and crouched down by the table just having my eyes and top of my head visible I heard him pound down the stairs
"bella you home" I heard emmet yell as he slammed the door shut I jumped out of my hiding place just as balvasor threw an energy ball
"NO!" I yelled and froze the energy ball it was just there frozen in its place
