A/N: This is my newest story. Some of you may remember me from my old WOEE story "New Beginnings." I deleted it because I had 12 unfinished stories on my plate and was a bit overwhelmed. I've recently finished a few so now I have much more time to write in this archive. I'm starting from scratch with an entirely new idea. HOWEVER, if you would like for me to post that story back up and continue it, I would be more than happy to do that along with continuing this one. Just please let me know if you're still interested in that.

Chapter 1: Secret Revealed

"This is so stupid," Hayley mumbled as she watched her best friend walk up to the Beauchamp residence and press the buzzer.

"We don't know that," her best friend Cassie told her.

"What makes you think she would even want to help us, let alone, if she even can?" Hayley retorted.

"Because you're her daughter," the blonde replied as she rang the doorbell once again. "Come on, people. I don't have all day," Cassie mumbled.

"Exactly," Hayley answered sarcastically. "I'm her daughter and she didn't want to take care of me to begin with. What makes you think she'll be willing to even speak to us?"

"She has to," Cassie answered. "I won't take no for an answer."

"That's a good response," Hayley shook her head.

"You just have mommy issues," the blonde said in all honesty.

"I don't have mommy issues," Hayley argued. "I don't even know the woman. You'd have to know the woman to have mommy issues."

At that exact moment the door swung open, and both sixteen-year-olds were greeted by a woman who they both expected to be the infamous Wendy.

"Hi, how can I—" Joanna stopped talking just as her gaze moved from the blonde girl on the porch to the brunette staring at her from a few feet behind her. The woman froze and the only movement she made was her jaw dropping from at the sight of the brunette. "Oh my God," she mumbled under her breath as her hand went up to her face from the sudden shock.

Cassie smiled, "Good, you already know who she is, so I don't have to waste my time explaining," the blonde continued as she walked around Joanna to get into the house. She wasn't normally this rude but they were running out of time.

Joanna turned around to look at Cassie before she placed her gaze back onto Hayley. There was no doubt in her mind that this girl was Wendy's child. She looked exactly like Wendy did at that age but the shock of finding out that her baby sister had a daughter she didn't tell her about was the craziest thing Wendy had ever done, and that was saying a lot. She shook her head out of her trance, "Come in. Come in," Joanna waved Hayley forward. She wanted to smile but she couldn't help the sudden anger and confusion that was consuming her at this point.

Hayley took a deep breath before she walked up the porch steps and into Joanna's house, showing as awkward as she felt through her walk.

"You're—" Joanna started when she shut the door behind them, but the blonde interrupted her.

"Yup. That's your daughter. Look, listen. Wendy. We really need your help right now because some ugly ass demon is trying to kill us, so if you could really save the Beauchamp Reunion Special for another time, I'd really appreciate it. We came here to—"

"Demon?" Joanna furrowed her eyebrows. "So wait, you two are—"

Cassie nodded, "Witches. Yeah. And if we could please move this conversation a little faster so that we can, you know, not die tonight, then maybe—"

And at the moment, Cassie was interrupted by Freya who entered the living room with a sweater in her hand, "Mom, have you seen my purple cardig—Holy crap!" Freya came to a halt when she glanced up at Hayley. "Oh. My God," her voice practically sang. She took a few steps closer toward the teen to examine her face even more out of curiosity. "You're—"

"Your sister!" Cassie yelled in annoyance as she looked from Freya to Joanna. "Look! Wendy, we really need to move fast or Klaus is going to kill us—"

"Cassie, chill," Hayley told her friend.

"Okay, that's not Wendy," Freya pointed at her mom as she looked at both teens seriously.

"Then who…" Hayley squinted her eyebrows at Joanna in confusion.

"I'm Joanna, Wendy's sister," Joanna replied. "… And I'm going to kill her," she muttered under her breath.

Cassie sighed as she dropped down onto the nearest sofa, "Yeah. I think I'll just give up," she mumbled as she threw her hands up in the air.

"Oh," Hayley started awkwardly as she looked at the floor and then back at Freya and Joanna. "Then… do you know where we can find Wendy?" the teen asked.

Joanna smiled creepily and nodded before she turned her gaze toward the stairs, "One second… " she put her index finger up for the girls. "WENDY!"

"Yeah?" a woman's voice answered.

"GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" Joanna wailed as she crossed her arms over her chest and began walking toward the staircase.
