CHAPTER TWO: VIOLET'S FIRST NIGHT AT HOME

Violet squealed in delight and ran off to explore the house. Leo came out of the kitchen and gave Piper a kiss.

"Hi, sweety. I'll take her bags up to her room." He said, taking the bags and heading upstairs.

"I'll go see about dinner." Said Piper.

"I'll go get her room ready." Phoebe said.

"And I'll go keep an eye on Violet." Paige said as she went to find the girl.

Paige searched all of downstairs but couldn't find her. She then went upstairs to her room.

"Violet here?" She asked Phoebe who was busy making the bed.

"No." replied Phoebe.

"Okay." Said Paige. She then looked in Phoebe's room and then her own. She wasn't there or in the bathroom. She knocked on the door of Piper and Leo's room.

"Yes Paige?" he inquired.

"Is Violet here?" She asked. "I can't find her."

"I hope she's not in the attic." Said Leo.

"I'd better go check." Paige answered.

"And I'll go look downstairs for her again." Said Leo.

He headed downstairs while she went to check the attic. Entering she found Violet looking through the Book of Shadows.

"HEY!" Called out Paige. Violet shrieked and disappeared in a flash of light. She reappeared in the kitchen right in front of Piper. Piper shrieked and jumped back dropping the plate of food she was holding.

Leo hearing the commotion ran into the room expecting a demon attack. Instead he found Piper clutching her chest and gasping for air while Violet was cowering in the space between the refrigerator and the wall.

"What happened?" He asked concerned. Then Phoebe and Paige ran into the room.

"Violet disappeared when I found her in the attic." Paige said.

"Well, she's right there." Said Piper pointing. "She appeared out of thin air right in front of me."

"She's scared." said phoebe. She walked slowly towards Violet talking in a soothing voice. "It's okay sweety." All of a sudden Phoebe ran into an invisible barrier.

"Whoa!" she said. "What's this?"

"Let me try." Said Leo, orbing over to Violet. He took the frightened into his arms.

"I forgot to tell you. She can apparate between places and can put up a barrier that protects against physical attacks. Unfortunatly magic passes right through it. Here Paige." He said.

Paige came over and took Violet over to the kitchen table to calm her down.

"Thanks for telling us." Piper said sarcastically. "She scared me half to death."

Leo grinned sheepishly. "Sorry."

Once every one calmed down, they ate dinner. It was late by the tome they were done.

"I think it's time for bed for violet." Phoebe said. Violet was nodding off struggling to stay awake.

"I'll take her up and get her ready for bed, then you can all tell her goodnight." Paige said.

Paige took Violet up to her room and helped her get ready for bed. After everyone told her goodnight and gave her a kiss they put her to bed. She fell asleep, sighing happily. She was finally home.
