Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed.

Author's Note: This is set in season six.

Yes, I know that I'm writing two Charmed series. Both are OC/Chris pairings *spoilers* but my OC characters are way different. At least I hope so. Also, this one has a slower relationship build between Piper's son and my OC, whereas in the other story that's not really the case. There origins/"species" are way different, too, so there's that.

I'm debating over whether or not I should continue with both stories-it all really depends on you, I guess. No pressure!

But anyway, I think, if worse comes to worse, I'll put one of the stories on hiatus to continue working on the other one. But I feel like I don't need to do that quite yet, seeing as I'm just starting both of them. I'll stop with my rambling here-no one really wants to hear it anyway.

I hope you like this one just as well as my other stories. Enjoy!

Prologue

Amaris Stone ran, the grass feeling good and cool against her paws. The moonlight shone down on her, wrapping her up in her embrace, and Amaris couldn't be happier.

God, how she had missed this! Running around, wild and free, just like the wolf in her yearned to do. It hadn't been long since she'd been allowed to do this, granted, but that was with her past Alpha, a strict werewolf who had forbid them from giving into their wolf selves save for the full moon.

Though it did make it safer for everyone and kept exposure to a minimum, it wasn't right to deny the wolf the chance to be wild. Stifling it would cause the wolf to bottle things up, and then, when finally given the chance to run free,it would kill everyone in sight.

Such is the danger of keeping the wolf tucked inside.

It was then that her keen nose caught the scent of prey, a white-tailed rabbit to be precise. Hunting anything bigger than rabbits (animals like the fox or deer were okay too) was a no-no, because having a bear ripped to shreds and half-eaten would raise some questions.

It was better than exposing themselves or attacking an innocent human, she supposed, stopping mid-stride to sniff the air for the rabbit she'd scented earlier.

It was to her left, about twenty feet or so. So she took off in that direction, her form a mere blur as she rushed to get to her prey first. If she could smell it than so could the rest of her pack, so she had to get there first or they'd devour it before her.

However, as she got near to the rabbit she stilled. Heavy in the air was the scent of blood. Cautiously Amaris stalked forward, not sure what she would find. The blood was undoubtedly not from an animal-it was much too human. While it was true werewolf blood smelled very human in nature, there was the faint trace of wolf in it that was difficult to miss unless you weren't a werewolf yourself. And besides, her pack was far too good to let anything draw blood.

Finally, after a lot of wandering, she managed to locate the source of blood.

There on the floor of the clearing was a little girl. She was the very definition of the word innocent, with long blond hair and pale skin.

Though Amaris was wary to trust a random wounded stranger, as appearances could be deceiving, she knew she couldn't just let her bleed to death.

Sighing, she padded over to the girl and nudged her with her cold, wet nose. The girl stirred but otherwise didn't move. She was just about to commence the Change so she could take the girl back to her home to tend to her when she heard voices. She stilled, tilting her head to listen.

"Are you sure this is the place? Maybe your scrying was off."

A scoff followed this.

"Of course I'm sure, Piper. I may not have been a witch for as long as you but I'm pretty sure I know how to scry," another person returned.

There was a sigh, then a third voice joined the mix.

"Will you guys just knock it off? We have an innocent to save. Now, my premonition..."

Here, Amaris tuned them out.

Her fight or flight instinct was acting up, and though she loathed to be a coward, she also knew that randomly attacking people for no reason wasn't a very good idea, either.

Deciding that flight was the better option, she slinked off, making sure to keep the girl in her sights. Even though she had doubts about the newcomers harming the little girl, that didn't mean that she should trust them blindly. Her wolf for whatever reason had claimed the little girl as her own, to protect and defend no matter what.

She wasn't about to let them harm her further.

No more than a few moments later, three women stepped into the clearing. Two where brunettes and one was a redhead, but they all looked similar. They were all extraordinarily beautiful, and each looked prepared for anything.

Amaris figured they were probably sisters, and then her heart faltered as she realized what that might mean.

They talked of innocents and scrying. There were three of them, and all were sisters. More importantly, one had mentioned that they were all witches.

They were the Charmed Ones.

Oh how screwed she was.

~Page Break~

"Where did you see the Innocent in your premonition, Phoebe?" Piper questioned, and Phoebe's face scrunched up as she thought about it.

"Um, we're close, I think," came her reply.

"Well that inspires confidence," Paige muttered, and Phoebe whacked her in the arm.

They walked forward, searching for the girl Phoebe had seen being attacked by a demon. After only a few minutes they found here, and they hastily rushed forward, eager to save her.

Suddenly there was the sound of a twig breaking. The three sisters froze before they began to look frantically around for the source of the noise.

Then, from the edges of the forest trotted out a wolf. It was a rather large wolf, almost the size of a bear, with a blue coat so dark it was almost black. There was a splattering of white on its muzzle, the tip of its tail and one of its front paws. It regarded the sisters warily as it slowly walked forwards towards them.

"Piper freeze it!" Paige hissed, but Phoebe, with her newly gained powers of empathy, held her elder sister back.

"No, wait! She won't hurt us unless we attack first! She just wants to protect the little girl!" Phoebe exclaimed, and the wolf, alerted by the loud noise, paused in its strides, eyes locked on Phoebe.

In no time, however it started forward again, each step slow and designed to show the sisters that it wouldn't attack them.

Approaching Phoebe first, it sniffed her hand, and the witch in question felt her heart stop. To have such a large animal sniffing her like a domesticated dog was very unsettling. It then proceeded to smell each sister before backing off and away.

The wolf then did something very surprising. It sat close to the girl, eyeing them but looking calm and relaxed. It yawned before laying down next to the Innocent.

"So, uh, what now?" Paige asked, but no one responded. They were all wondering the same thing, too.

A howl broke out, and all the sisters jumped. The wolf's head shot up, and it cocked its head, listening to the howl. After listening to it for a few moments, it stood up. It let out a huff before looking over at the witches. Something in the sisters' eyes must've told the wolf that the girl would be left in safe hands, for it took off without so much as another noise.

The Charmed Ones stared after, unsure of how to proceed, until Piper took command. She stalked over to the girl, picked her up, and without so much as a word began the trek back the car. Phoebe and Paige, after exchanging a look, followed after her.

"Hey Chris, do you know anything about abnormally large wolves?"
Chris Halliwell gave a start at the question and regarded his mother warily. She didn't know she was his mother, however, as it was something he didn't want to tell her. Future consequences and all that.

Chris glanced over at the little girl on the couch Leo had healed for them. She'd been severely injured a few hours ago but was now fine and resting comfortably but would probably wake up any minute. He regarded her for another moment before answering his mother's question.

"Er, no."

Piper looked disappointed by that answer, but was interrupted by Phoebe, who was coming into the living room, Book of Shadows in hand.

" 'The werewolf is a person cursed to change its form every full moon. Fiercely loyal and protective, this creature roams the forest, startling all who encounter it. Only those infected with a bite from this beast can turn into a werewolf, and its only weakness is silver. It is an immortal being who needs a pack or it will turn into a bloodthirsty, disorderly monster,' " Phoebe announced, looking proud of herself.

Everyone blinked as they absorbed this information.

"Are you sure it was a werewolf?" Paige questioned, and Phoebe nodded.

"The Book says that the wolf form of a werewolf is much larger than your average wolf," she informed them, and they all nodded. All except Chris, who was looking extremely confused and worried.

"You encountered a werewolf?" he demanded, sounding furious, and Piper rolled her eyes.

"Relax. It didn't attack us or anything," Paige said in an attempt to reassure their whitelighter. It didn't have the desired effect; instead, Chris looked even more concerned.

"And when were you about to tell me you meet a werewolf?" he asked, and the sisters exchanged looks before shrugging.

Chris sighed in exasperation-the sisters were so reckless sometimes. The stress of trying to protect them was driving him insane. Couple that with his mission to keep Wyatt from turning evil and he was surprised he wasn't growing grey hairs.

Suddenly the little girl stirred, grabbing everyone's attention. She sat up and eyed them before breaking out into a grin.

"Oh wow! Wait till I tell mommy I met the Charmed Ones!" she gushed, and the sisters smiled.

"Hi, I'm Phoebe. That's my sister Paige and my sister Piper. What's your name?"

The girl thought about that for a second.

"Um, my name's Lila. Lila Einder."

The surname didn't register in anyone's memory, but they smiled and nodded at the little girl. Well the Charmed Ones did, anyway Chris was still paranoid about the fact that she might be a threat.

Then, out of nowhere, the girl asked something that startled them all.

"What happened to that pretty wolf?"
The sisters exchanged looks.

"Uh, she ran off," Phoebe told her, and Lila frowned. Phoebe could sense her disappointment and sadness and cringed.

"Oh," was all Lila said, however.

"Well, mommy's probably really worried about me right now," she told them, looking sheepish as she did so.

"Who is she and what does she do?" Phoebe questioned, and the girl grinned but didn't answer right away.

"Mommy's a witch like you, but she's a lawyer," Lila said, brow furrowing as she said the word "lawyer," like she wasn't sure if she was using the right word or not.

Then the girl got up. She swayed a bit but managed to stay upright.

"Can I call my mommy?" she asked, and Paige nodded.

"Sure, there's a phone in the kitchen," she said, taking Lila's hand and leading her towards the phone.

Once they had left, Piper clapped her hands together and stated, "Okay, we need to find the demon that attacked Lila and then vanquish him. Then we can worry about our little werewolf problem afterwards."

Everyone set out to do just as Piper order, all except Chris who had a troubled expression on his face.

His gut told him something was going to happen soon. Whatever was coming he just hoped it wouldn't end too badly.

Oh how right he was.

So there you have it! The beginning of a new story! Again, I'm sorry my chapter/prologue endings and beginnings leave more to be desired. I really need to work on it, and I will, I promise. Anyway, you should come back read my next chapter. It'll be worth it, I swear. Bye!
