CHAPTER 1- The New Generation

A loud bang coming from downstairs aroused Piper from her sleep, she quickly through off her blanket and broke into a run to downstairs to see what the commotion was. And she was met with a sight . Chris orbed in beside her in his boxers and immediately burst into laughter. Staring across from her was a wide-eyed Wyatt covered in the remains of a potion went wrong. Piper couldn't supress the giggle that came out of her mouth as her oldest son glared over in the direction of his mother and younger brother.

"Wow Wy, I knew you failed potions but I didn't think u were this bad." Chris said wiping tears from his eyes as Wyatt just scowled and began to wipe bits off of himself.

"Oh hun." Piper smiled and walked over to grab a towel for her potion-covered son.

"Here," she said as she tossed him the towel, " go clean up."

"Wyatt just sighed and orbed upstairs.

"AND DO NOT MAKE A MESS OF MY SHOWER!" She called up after him.

"Wow." Chris said just looking at the mess as he started to laugh again.

"Why are you laughing mister, start cleaning." Immediately the grin left his face.

"What!?"

"Yea. Now go get a mop."

Chris grumbled as he went to go find the mop in bucket to clean the remains of Wyatt's accident.

Piper just smiled, although her oldest had moved out he was often around the house. So the adjustment hadn't been as hard to make as she originally thought it would. Chris returned back into the room with the mop and bucket of soap water, still grumbling and got to work on the floor as Piper began to prepare breakfast.

Paige struggled with the bobby pin she was trying to stick in her hair. She finally got it in and added a quick douse of hairspray and was down the stairs the remains of her husbands breakfast lay in the sink along with a cup half drained of it's contents. She heard shuffling as her daughter came into the kitchen carrying a notebook and threw it on to the table beside her as she grabbed a muffin. "Morning." Peyton was easily the most organised in the household heck probably all the Halliwells. "Morning sweet heart." Paige said to her daughter as she packed some things into her sons lunch bag while gulping down coffee. Peyton's of course had been made by herself the night before, Parker her twin brother, who was probably the most disorganised person on the planet; l had never made a lunch in his life. "PARKER!!" Paige screamed from the kitchen as her daughter gave her a peck on the cheek and grabbed her lunch and orbed away. "PARKER!!!" She screamed again, he was going to be late for school….again. She hastily orbed into her son's room. He lay draped across the bed on his stomach. His light blond hair shimmering in the sunlight. He looked like your average rebel teenager messy room packed with posters of bands she had never heard of.

"Parker! Get your ass out of bed. You are going to be late again. I've already had complaints from magic school about this habit and few others, which we will talk about later." Her Son lazily pulled the pillow from under his arms and over his head.

"Fine. That's the way you want to do it."

"BED" she called out the bed disappeared in circle of orbs and he r son dropped to the floor.

"Owe. He groaned as he picked himself up off the floor. Paige replaced the bed, which had just been suspended in orbs back to its usual spot. Parker walked over to the bathroom and shut the door.

"You have 15 minutes kiddo! And you better not be late." She said knocking on the door.

"Yea, yea." Her son replied as she orbed down the kitchen table and grabbed her car keys and set off for work.

Kyla Halliwell groaned as the sun hit her eyes. She could feel the remains of the alcohol from last night. She found she wasn't on her bed but on her couch. The smell of coffee brightened her senses as she slowly pulled herself off the couch.

"Morning. Wow do u ever look smashing." She said with a giggle handing her a coffee.

Kyla managed a weak smile as she took the coffee she walked over to the cupboard and rummaged through till she found a bottle with some blue liquid pulled off the cap and let a couple off drops land on her tongue. She noticed her friend staring and answered the unsaid question.

"Hangover cure, picked it up at the black magic market a couple of weeks back."

"Oh." They both knew it was a bad place to go to yet that didn't stop Kyla from hanging out there from time to time..Okay a bit more than time to time. Dakota shrugged her dark hair back.

"Works like a charm."

"I see that. You do know if your family finds out that you have been around the black magic market they are going to freak."

"Haha yea well what they don't know can't hurt them and besides I'm a big girl now what are they going to do about it."

Dakota nodded in agreement.

"So why have you been hanging around there anyway?"

"Stuff."

"Like what?" Dakota asked then it hit her. "It's him isn't it?"

"Who?" Kyla asked trying to fake confusion.

"He's back isn't he. That's why you have been around there." Dakota put her hands on her hips.

"Look Dakota please don't say anything."

" I won't but if anyone finds out and they will, don't say I didn't tell you so.

Kyla sighed and nodded as she grabbed her coffee and retreated to her room. It was true she had been at the black market to see him. When he left she had said it was her finale good bye and that she no longer wanted him in her life but when he had come back the way he did she couldn't lie to herself any longer. She would tell her family in time but for now she needed time.
