Prologue
Everything had gone wrong.
'I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
When this memory fades
I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
With chances taken
Hope embraced
I hope I told you'
The world my sisters and I, our family, had worked so hard to protect…was gone.
'I'm not going
cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
Cause it might save you'
When my grams and great-aunts had been The Charmed Ones, the world had been safe. The balance had always tilted more in the side of Good. No one ever worried that The Source of All Evil would win. No one had ever even considered the possibility. Because they were Powerful, Strong…and most importantly…not me.
'We've learned to run from
Anything uncomfortable
We've tied our pain below and no one ever has to know
That inside we're broken
I tried to patch things up again
To cut my tears and kill my fears
But have I told you how I..'
When my cousins took over, my great-aunt Phoebe's girl's, the world was still just as safe…more so actually. They had been trained to be the world's new protectors; they were more powerful than their mother and aunts. No one doubted the safety when the world was laid in their hands…no one.
'I'm not going
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
Cause it might save you'
Then the accident happened. My father, Christopher Perry Halliwell, was murdered. He had been close to everyone, like all Halliwell's were, but more so with the oldest Charmed One, Patience Valentino.
'We'll get it right this time
It's not faith if you're using your eyes
Oh why'
Still, even with his death, the sisters had continued to protect the world. Showing everyone, humans and magical creatures alike, that they were just as powerful as their mother and aunts.
'I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I'
Soon after though, the Halliwell Family disappeared.
'I don't want to run from anything uncomfortable
I just want, no
I just need this pain to end right here'
Everyone died, leaving only my two younger sisters and I as the only remaining Protectors. The only remaining Halliwell's. We were supposed to take up the Charmed Legacy…become who we were destined to be…The Charmed Ones.
'I'm not going
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
Cause it might save you'
We all knew we would be…we just never realized how soon it would be.
'Yeah, it might save you
Oh, it might save you'
Now…I am twenty-three years old and…
We failed…
We let Evil tip the Balance…
We…joined them and died.
'It's not faith if, if you use your eyes
If you use your eyes
If you use your eyes'
XOXOXOXOXO
A woman, with long dark brown hair, rushed out the words, silently praying that the spell would still work. Tearstains were barely visible on her fair, smooth skin. Her eyes were a beautiful hazel brown color, though bloodshot from the tears and wind.
"Hear these words, Hear the rhyme
Heed the Hope within my mind
Send me back to where I will find
What I wish in Place and Time"
Instantly a sign appeared on the door. A sign she knew better than anything else. Her family symbol, a Triquetra. It started to glow a light blue color and grew in size.
A quite whimper escaped a small child in her right arm, while her left arm held an older one. The youngest looked to be about two, with the woman's skin. His hair was exactly like hers, besides the length. His eyes though were like small, glowing emeralds.
The older boy was no older than four years old. His hair was blonde, exactly like his fathers. His skin was as fair and smooth as the woman's skin, but lighter. The boy's eyes were bright and a light blue color, looking so much like his father's.
The woman held back a sob as she put the boys down, close to the portal. She got down on her knees and looked into the older boy's eyes, "Hey buddy. Listen...I want you to know that mommy will always be close, okay? I will always be with you. Okay, give me a hug. Quick, quick, quick." The woman hugs him tightly, wishing to never let go. "I love you so much."
"Baby, come here." She whispered as her youngest reached out for her. She pulled him close, "Be a good boy, okay? Please, sweet baby?" She hugged the child that resembled her tightly, trying to get up the courage to let go. "Okay." She sucked in a large amount of air, "I love you so much Hunt." She whispered in his ear.
The woman stands up and puts the younger boy closer to the blonde. The older boy instantly grabs the brunettes' hand in a protective and caring grip.
"Promise me you will protect your brother Scorpius," The woman's eyes were pleading, "Promise me!" This was the hardest thing she had ever done. But she didn't have a choice anymore. She and her sisters, but mostly her, had given up on what their family believed in…given up on what their father had believed in.
The blonde pulled his younger brother closer, who whimpered. He nodded sadly, "Promise momma." He spared a glance at his younger brother, he would protect his brother. No matter what.
Their mother smiled mournfully as she pushed them to the portal. They didn't resist, knowing she would never put them in danger. Slowly they both made it to the portal, taking one last look back at their mother before walking through. Just as the portal closed they heard their mother's voice one last time.
"We will be together again soon my babies."
