And Here…
We're learning the arts on our own.
We are all that's left of the mighty Halliwell lineage.
Just the four of us; Alexandra, Ashley, Blake and me.
Looks like with our hereditary power went the 'P' tradition.
These mountains are our home.
We move from place to place so no one can keep track of us.
Right now we've split up for a few days. We think someone had caught a whiff of our scent. We'll get back soon.
We're all telepathic and telekinetic, it makes talking to each other easier. They're not far right now; Blake is on his way this very moment. He says he's had enough.
Blake is the only one who really believes we can get back what they lost for us. He's a smart guy. I believe in him. I believe someday he will help us get back what is rightfully ours. He never throws those comments at me either. They do sometimes. But him… never. He loves his little sister, Ashley, he'd do anything to protect her. He would do anything to protect any of us. Even if we're cousins we love each other no less than we would if we were brothers and sisters. Blake is the oldest, the smartest and the wisest. He's everything a powerful witch should be.
But alas we never got our chance.
They ruined it for us.
Ashley is scared. She doesn't believe in herself anymore. But that's not surprising considering how she's grown up. At least Alexandra and I were eleven and twelve. She was but eight. Her brother was twice her age, he always took care of her; practically raised her. She's had a tough life, its not like we haven't but she's the younger one. She's a bright witch, she's smart. She makes up for her attacking weaknesses with her brilliant strategy plans.
Alexandra is strong. Or at least on the outside. Inside I can see she's broken. She doesn't want to do this anymore but she goes on anyways because of us. I admire here there. I can see she's hurting so much but there's nothing I can offer to do. Sometimes I cry quietly because I know I should help her but I just can't. Why is it so hard? It stings my heart too. Al least she's managed to stay strong so far. I just hope she doesn't completely break before we reach what we have aimed for all our lives.
These are trying times. Getting through them is extremely tough if not impossible. Sometime I just want to give up and die like so many other witches have done but then I see the silver lining. I feel like I need to prove to her that what she destroyed for me I can fix. I don't need her, never did. But then the dark clouds bring back doubts.
I just hope we don't loose hope. I hope we don't move so far away that coming back is impossible. I hope we keep fighting to our last breath but never ever give up. I just hope we succeed and if not die trying.
Bu most of all I hope that when she did this it wasn't because she didn't care what happened to us, to me. Because if she did there's nothing stopping me from breaking apart and loosing myself and I don't want to go there. So I hope I never find out the truth and just keep searching. That should be enough because the truth I can't handle and I know it in my heart but as long as I don't accept it there's a wall keeping me from tearing myself apart. And I thank that wall for not letting me get lost.
At least not yet …
