The Last Halliwell

Info

This is my first time publishing a English novel, hope you all will enjoy it but there will be grammatical errors and typos and other stuff that don´t make any sens at all. It is because of three reasons the first reason is that English is not my native language and the second reason is that I have dyslexia and if you don´t know what it means I suggest that you Google it. The third reason is because I don´t have a beta reader so if you enjoy my novel and want to help you can message me.

Chapter 1 – Memory

The Halliwell name was once a name that instilled fear and respect in the magical community, fear for those that chose to side with evil and respect to those that chose side with good. It was during the time of the Charmed ones generation that the tide shifted to the side of good and was kept that way for many years. But as to all things the end comes and good was pushed back and evil began to reign over the world once again and with that human society stagnated and with the wars that broke out much was lost. The human society reverted back to the dark ages and with demons running rampant over the world all magic was considered to be evil and if one was caught using magic the sentence was death by fire after one had been tortured to confess to being a witch but not all those that have been accused of using magic are real witches as a mater of fact most people that was caught were ordinary people.

Victor Percy Halliwell sat by the crackling fire under a big oak tree that sheltered him from the drizzling rain. In his lap was a big leather bound book that he was flipping through, this book was his legacy, the only possession he had inherited from his mother and this book was the largest threat against demons in the world. Every generation of Halliwell had added to this book, spells, potions and information about magical objects and creatures and the thing that probably is the most important was the pages about the demons so that one could vanquish them. The thing he liked most about the book was the stories that the his ancestors had written down, when he was reading them he felt like they were watching over him and it gave him some comfort knowing that he was not all alone. The world had changed so much and the stories in this book reflected the struggles that previous Halliwells had gone through and since he lost his mother when he was only eleven years old he sought comfort in this book that he had inherited from her, he could still remember that painful day.

---- 6 years earlier ----

"Mom, I can´t do it" the eleven year old Victor told his mom.

"Of course you can sweetie, you just need to practice that's all" Charlotte looked at her son that had his eyes closed and was frowning because he was concentrating so hard. They had been at it for two hours but Victor had not yet been able to find the trigger so he could fade. Victor had done it before but that had been accidents and luckily none had been around to see him do it. Charlotte had taken him away that very day from the village so that he would not be exposed and put to the trails. She was so afraid off something happening to her only son and she did everything in her power to keep him safe and if that meant leaving the village so be it her son was far more important to risk staying in the village when he could not control his power. Maybe it was because fading was not originally a witch power but became one of the Halliwells powers after one of the Charmed ones had married and a Cupid and together with him had children. But there were other powers that witches did not have until the charmed ones and that was whitelighter powers such as orbing, healing and sensing. These where powers that were passed down through the Halliwell line and cropped up now and again just like the Cupids powers and now her son had gotten a Cupids power and a useful one at that. She was watching her son concentrate on his task and smiling, he was such a good boy but he tended to get him in trouble quite a lot.
Then suddenly a soft red white light surrounded him and his body faded away and reappeared 50 meters away.

"I did it mom, I did it. Did you see I faded" He was running and jumping towards her and Charlotte was laughing.

"I did see and you did great!" Charlotte was so proud of him, he had finally faded on purpose and that the first step to mastering this gift. Charlotte bent down and scooped him up and squeezed him tightly, she had not done that in years. He had grown so much and it felt like she it was just yesterday when her own mother helped her to give birth to Victor. He had been so small with just a patch of black hair on the top of his head and come as surprise to both her self and her mother because he had not been due for a few more weeks. It had not been a long birth or a difficult one either, Victor had been eager to enter the world to his mothers surprise.

"That was so good!" She held him tightly to her chest.

"Mom, I can´t breath" Victor told her and tried to wriggle his way out of her hug, Charlotte eased up and put him down.

"Do you remember how you did it?" Charlotte asked her son.

"I am not sure. It felt weird all tingly and then I was there!" Victor said in a very exited voice. He had just done what he had been trying to do for the last two hours and it felt great to have finally done it. But he was not really sure how he had done it, he had focused on the spot and the all of a sudden when he was about to give up he this weird tingly feeling came over all over him and then he was there on the spot he had focused on.

"Let see if you can do it again!" Charlotte said.

"Okay mom!" Victor squinted his eyes and focused on a the same spot he had before, but nothing happened. After a few minutes he sighed and opened his eyes and then faded away in red and white light covering his body until he was gone and reappeared about hundred meters to the right.

"I did it again mom! I did it!" Yelled Victor as he was doing a victory dance, he had done it not once but twice. Charlotte clapped her hands as she watched her son dancing with a great big smile on his face.

He had done it twice now but he had missed his mark this time had faded and that was what mattered finding out how to control it. Victor stopped dancing as he saw jet black smoke appear behind his mother.

"Mom! Behind you!" Victor screamed. Charlotte turned around and the black smoke was still there and it grabbed her. Victor ran towards her and saw a figure in the black smoke grab his mother and a bone chilling scream erupted from the smoke. Then just as suddenly as the smoke had appeared it vanished and on the ground lay his mother. He skidded to a halt right next to her and landed on his knees, she was bleeding from her chest.

"MOM! MOM!" screamed Victor as he looked down upon his mother chest where the blood spot got bigger by the second.

"Victor" Charlotte´s voice was barley a whisper as she spoke her sons name.

"I am here mom!" He said with tears running down his cheeks and grabbed her hand. Charlotte looked up at her son seeing his tearful eyes made her want to comfort him so that he wouldn´t be so sad. But she knew she had very little time life on this earth and that there was only one thing she could do now.

"Heed the hope with in my mind

let the book of shadows bind

to my child I call upon thee

you sisters three..." Charlotte gasped for air, it was hard to breath but she needed to finish the spell before it was to late.

"Mom, please mom stay with me!" Victor was crying and his vision was blurry thanks to the tiers.

"Hear my call beyond the veil

to grant the last descending male

of this Halliwell line

give him the crest as a sing

to my love for him to bear

as long as he is the Halliwell heir" Charlotte finished the spell with blood come from her mouth. She had looked at her son the hole time as she was chanting the spell while white light surrounded them. Victors face was tear stricken, Charlotte raised her hand and wiped a few tears from her sons face with her blood socked hand.

"Mom, please! don´t..." Victor pleaded with her but it was to late her hand fell from his face to the ground and her eyes where empty.

"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.................." It was a deafening scream that erupted from Victor, he grabbed a hold of his mother and started to rock back and forth while he was sobbing.

---- Present ----

Victor wiped the tears from his cheek, their was no point in dwelling over something that he couldn´t change. He scratch his chest where the symbol of the spell his mother had cast was, it had taken him few days after his mothers death to notice it. The symbol was of three interlocking triquetra and circle exactly as the books of shadows, the only differences was that the symbol on his chest was blue instead of red.

Since that day he had been on a quest to find that demon who killed his mother but during all this time he had very little information to go on. He was going to find it and then kill it, he longed for the moment when he could look it to the demons eyes and stick his knife in his chest and watch it bleed to death in front of him. Victor looked down on the book in his lap and gave a big sigh as he closed it. He put the book in its bag that he had bought for it specially to be able to travel with it so it would not get damage. He took his cloak and drew it closer to his body and laid down as he watched the flames of the fire lulling him to sleep.

A/N

Hope you enjoyed it because it was fun to write. I only had trouble with the spell that Charlotte cast but I think I did a half decent job on it. I would love it if you would review but you don´t have to but please do.

So far I haven´t put any of the character of the show in yet but it will happen I already have to concept ready. So if you want me to continue to write please review.
