Hey guys, so this is a crossover for HOA and Charmed. I borrowed the "evil-stepfather" idea from, "Scarred" by Definition of a Writer, an incredible story, I urge you to check it out, and altered it for Patricia, with a slight Charmed twist of course. So I really hope you enjoy it!

Patricia's POV
I never thought I'd see the day. My getting away from him. Piper had always had a way out, being smart, musical, talented and his favorite. I thought I would be stuck with him until I went to university. Until my letter of salvation came. A scholarship to Fobisher-Smyth Boarding school. At first, he had been furious. The beating I received for getting accepted to a school Piper applied for had been horrific, however, he realized that if I didn't go, it might look suspicious. So here I was, packing everything into my suitcase while he checked off a list. Concealer, check. Clothes, check. Dressings for the last few beatings, check. Phone, check. On a normal school day, no way would I get a phone but he wanted to "check up on me" while I was gone. Finally, I slipped in my my most treasured possession. My notebook, which contained a load of little poems I'd written over the years to help me cope. Though it would be a whole term until I saw my tormentor, a lifetime of poems were not staying here. As he drove me to the train station, relaying the rules of, no talking to any boys, you are mine, tell anyone anything about what we do, I will kill you, despite being terrified, I couldn't help think that the second I was on that train, for the first time in 15 years, i would be free...
Tamora's POV
"Get up girls," Yelled Mom, "You'll miss your flight if you don't!" Below me, on the bottom bunk, I heard Kat groan. I however, orbed from the top bunk down to the floor and started to get dressed. Today was the day that Kat, Mel, P.J, Henry and I were going to boarding school in England. The 4 of us girls were all in the same house while Henry, who is a year younger, was in a younger house. I was so exited that I hadn't slept and that was making my powers a bit AWOL. So much so that as I went to put my new tie into my suitcase, it caught fire. Eyes going wide, I whimpered, "Uh Kat...l...little help?" She rolled over to face me and, at the sight of the fire she flung her hand out and the flames froze in place. A breath of relief escaped both of us as I put the flames out. The tie was virtually undamaged, thank goodnesss, and now Kat was up too. She wasn't the morning one out of the two of us. Still, within an hour, we were dressed and downstairs with our suitcases. Henry was already at the door with his coat on and passport in hand. We got in the car, Kat was grumbling that it was still dark, and headed off. While we were in the car, Mom reached into her bag and pulled out two, wrapped rectangles. She handed one to me and one to Kat. "Aunts Phoebe and Piper are giving them to P.J and Melinda." She said. We opened them and were met with two smaller versions of the Book of Shadows. "In case you get into trouble." Mom winked. We hugged her and Dad smiled. We met up with the others at the airport and, after tearful goodbyes from our parents, aunts, uncles and cousins, we were boarding a plane. None of us could wait...
