Chapter Two

Parker was tossing and turning in bed. She was having a dream. Although you could say it was more of a premonition. However parker did get the premonitions her mother did. She received ones that were very open to interpretation. Often thing were more symbolic than straight forward. Also she only received the premonitions through dream state. She was walking down a corridor of magic school. Which was quite strange because she had only been there a few times. Her parents had always wanted her to get a normal education after she got full control over her powers. She walked future down the hallway, she noticed she was bare foot and her feet were covered with dirt. As if she had been walking through a forest before entering the school. Which was weird considering she didn't know of any forest that surrounded the school. As she walked she was looking down at her feet and she noticed that they were slowing gaining in speed. When she had these premonitions she didn't really have control over her body. It was more like she was just along for the ride. She finally arrived at a set of grand double doors. Her hand slowly reached out and twisted the handle of the right side door. It opened with a swinging force. She discovered a large room. It was littered with what appeared to be hundreds of body's under white sheets. She assumed they were dead but there was no smell or blood staining the sheets. She woke to P.J slamming the door of their shared bedroom. Parker almost leaped out of her skin.

"Another dream?" P.J asked.

She could always tell by the look of her sister's face. Parker looked around and was happy to discover she was at the apartment that her mother phoebe and father coop owned.

"Yeah, a strange one"

"Aren't they all?" P.J asked. "Come on, we are meeting the others for lunch."

"Great who are we killing this time?"

"No we are actually going to lunch at Aunty Piper's house."

"Right I've forgot how much she loves to entertain and cook now that she has sold P3. Let's go"

Parker threw on a different set of clothes because the ones she was napping in were all wrinkled. She then followed her sister out of the room by beaming. They arrived in the kitchen of the halliwell manor. The other children were already there sitting around the large dining room table. No one was talking. They were all just staring at Chris who was on his phone. Chris even though he was techsavvy he wasn't often on his phone all that much.

"He's texting that Bianca from the weekend. They have been at it all day!" Melinda said laughing.

"Yeah it's rather annoying actually" Wyatt added with his voice getting louder throughout the sentence.

"Sorry, you guys are just jealous" Chris said looking towards Melinda and Wyatt.

"Enough phones away, this is family time. Plus lunch is ready. I made club sandwiches" Piper said as she walked in to the dining room with a tray of sandwiches in her hand.

No matter what Piper made, it's always the best food anyone of them had ever tasted. They chowed down their meals without saying anything else. Piper walked out of the room smiling ear to ear. She enjoyed them eating her food almost as much as they did. After they finished their meals P.J brought up the subject of Bianca again.

"Look Chris I don't know about this Bianca. I got a weird vibe from her"

"Just because your mother is an empath doesn't mean you are P.J. She's fine" Chris said.

"Come on didn't you see the way she was dressed when she was hunting that demon. Who dresses in leather pants and a black top?"

"Hot chicks" Wyatt answered.

Chris look Wyatt in the eye and laughed.

"How are you not mad at him for calling Bianca hot?" Kat asked.

"Because he didn't call her hot. He called the clothes she was wearing hot. It's different." Henry answered.

"Right" Chris and Wyatt said together.

"Anyway back to what I was saying. How can we trust her? Do you even know what she is?" P.J asked.

"Yeah she's a witch." Chris answered.

"I meant more in more detail than that."

"She's something called a Phoenix."

"Let's go to magic school and check that out." Tamora said.

Normally the kids would look up this up in the book of shadows however Piper had hidden it from them because she didn't want them getting any ideas.

"Mum!" Chris yelled. Piper walked in from the lounge room. "We are going to the library."

"Alright, don't stay out too late" Piper said then walked back to continue the show she was watching.

This time the kids actually told her the truth kind of. They often went to the public library to study for school. This time however they were going to the library at magic school to look up Phoenix's. They walked out of the house so it seemed like they were going to the library around the corner. Including Peter. There was no harm with him coming this time. Once they were out of eyeshot they orb and beamed to magic school. They appeared right in the middle of the library. They had pretty much nailed their teleporting by now. Chris walked over to the computers to check the library contents. He was happy that Leo had listened to him about updated the library with computer software so it is easier to find what people were looking for. Chris typed Phoenix in to the database and was surprised to find over fifty entries. He clicked the top one and all nine of them gathered around the computer. Wyatt starting reading out loud.

"Descended from the Witch Trials with vengeance in their hearts, the Phoenix are a family of assassin witches who are very elite, very powerful and who are born with the distinctive birthmark of the Phoenix, symbolizing their rise from Salem's ashes. They have no allegiances other than to their
own vengeance and they will seek out and kill any bounty they're hired to hunt down." Wyatt read a line of writing under the entry. "Sourced from the book of shadows. Huh well isn't that handy."

"Wait does that make them good or evil." Chris asked.

"It doesn't really say. I guess neither." Kat answered.

"They kill demons just like us." P.J added.

"Wait, it doesn't say anything about demons. It just says bounty. That could mean good or evil." Tamora said.

"Hmm I guess that depends on her morals then." Parker said with a questioning tone to her voice.
