Author's Notes: If you guys have been following me on twitter you'll have noticed my tweets about coming up with new story ideas based on Charmed and A Cinderella Story (if don't follow me on twitter the URL is on my profile!). This is the story idea based on Charmed. Let me know what you think!
Chapter One:
I Could Belong to the Night
This story begins like any other story. I'm going to be introduced to you, the reader, and I'm going to spill my whole life story, well, the parts that are most prominent for this story. But see, unlike other stories, this one will not have a happy ending. Sucks, I know, but this isn't a fairy tale, this is reality, and in reality there aren't happy endings. It's a dark world out there and it's about time I prepare some of you for it so that way you're not taken by surprise by it like I was.
So, let me start by introducing myself. My name is Serena Tsukino and believe it or not, I wasn't such a cynic a few years ago. I was peppy, believed in love at first sight and yes, even happy endings. But all that changed. You see I'm not really as 'normal' as I appear to be. I am a witch, and a pretty powerful one too. I'm kind of like those witched on that TV show Charmed only without the whole 'power of three' thing. I find innocents who are being pursued by demons and I protect them and defeat the demons. But the one thing the Charmed Ones got wrong was that it's not easy to defeat a demon. They're ten times more powerful than they show on TV, and a simple 'vanquishing spell' or 'potion' won't vanquish them.
The two things they got right? Well, first there is a Book of Shadows, but it's not passed down through a witch lineage. It's more of a 'survival of the fittest' challenge. I should know since it took me ages to find it. Which leads me to the second thing they got right. There is a 'Source of all evil,' and like that one witch Phoebe, I caught the son of a bitch's interest while I was searching for the Book.
It was three years ago, when I got a major lead on where the Book was. My search had caused quite a stir in the magic community, including the demon world. Everyone who was evil was out to stop me, but I kept defeating everyone who came after me. This caught the attention of the Source and he decided it was time for him to step in. When I first met him, in an arcade in Tokyo, I didn't know who he was. I just thought he was some arrogant, playboy, millionaire.
I should have known better.
His name was Darien Endymion Shields and I won't lie, he was handsome. I avoided him as much as I could, because I thought he was just another guy and only after one thing, but it didn't work. Eventually, it got to the point where the daily arguments and taunting became much more and he asked me out. (Against my better judgment) I said yes. Things moved pretty quickly after that. We moved in together and I revealed my 'secret' to him. Things could not be better. I thought I had found 'the one.'
But when I finally got my hands on the Book of Shadows, he revealed who he really was. Only instead of killing me, he did one better. He confessed that he loved me and wanted us to not only join forces but also be his Queen. I denied his request and he tried to make me see reason. I defended myself with my powers and an outright war ensued. I barely escaped with my life and I've been in hiding ever since.
However, no matter where I lived over the years I was still in contact with members of the magic community and I know that Endymion is looking for me. Now, I know that he is on the move and knows where I am. He's coming for me and I'm not sure if I have the power to deny his request this time. So, like I said before, this is not your usual story. Things are about to get real interesting…
Author's Notes: Well? What did you guys think? I know it's short for a first chapter but they'll get longer as I move further into the story. This is just to find out if you guys like it or not. Also, what do you guys think, for future chapters, should I just stick with Serena's point of view or should I alternate between her and Endymion? Let me know!
