Chapter 5 – Meet the Halliwell's Part 2
She looked up into his crystal clear blue eyes and felt at ease for a reason unknown to her, she took his outstretched hand allowing him to pull her up to her feet. "Are you sure you okay?" he asked her once again, she nodded her answer unable to speak as both Halliwell brother's led her back onto the ground floor of the manor.
The ground floor of the manor was buzzing with activity. Paige and Leo had recently been called for and had just arrived while Phoebe was sat writing a spell in one corner of the living room as Piper brewed a potion in the kitchen, she had sent the children to magic school at the mention of the word demon.
Piper was the first to notice their arrival on the ground and immediately went to see if the young witch was all right as she helped in escorting her back into the living room as soon as she was seated it was immediately all eyes on her.
"Oh this is our other sister Paige," Piper said making further introduction "This is my husband Leo and I'm guessing you've already met our oldest son Wyatt,"
Jamie nodded slowly before whispering a soft hello. There was a moment of silence, as Jamie silently attempted to gather her thoughts.
"So what is you power then?" Paige asked finally breaking the silence
"Power…I don't have any powers," Jamie answered slowly her voice full of confusion "Or at least I don't think I do,"
"You're a witch, right?" Paige asked but continued babbling without waiting for an answer. "I wonder what your power is," standing up she grabbed Jamie arm pulling her up and leading her to the hand … with her sisters not to far behind her.
"Paige… what are you doing?" Piper asked
"Trying to see what Jamie power is or could be," she answered "But first we need to give the girl some room."
"Okay…move you're hand like this," she instructed as she waved her right hand in the air, waiting for Jamie to followed suit but nothing happen "Ok so you're not telekinetic…hold on try swinting you're eyes," Jamie hesitantly carried out the instruction still nothing happened.
"Try calling for Candle," Piper inputted as she walked closer to her baby sister "Just say Candle,"
Jamie followed the instruction but again nothing happened. She stood patiently as she followed the several instructions begin given to her.
"Maybe she doesn't have an active power," Phoebe said as she spoke up for the first time
Several minutes passed and the Charmed Ones were still discussing what Jamie power could possibly be.
"Maybe we should just wait until Jamie's powers manifest on they own," Leo inputted he was answered my the wave of his wife's right hand, it was no surprise to him really when did his wife and her sisters ever listen to him
Jamie on the other had took a step allowing the sister to converse without her, she leaned on the wall of the living room and watched on the older witch discussed what her powers could possible be. Closing her eyes she felt the sudden urge to sleep as her sleepless night began to catch up with her.
Chris watched as his mom and aunts discussed and as Jamie seemed to disappear into the background, he watched with curiosity as a single fingertip touched the wall and it began to be covered in ice.
"She's cryokinetic," he whispered to himself
"Um…guys I know what her powers are!" he said out loud
He shook his head in disbelief as his mom and aunts continued to talk, totally ignoring his discovery. He momentary forgot how engrossed they become in their discussions totally ignoring everyone around them it was if they were in there own little bubble which only the three of them were involved in. Wyatt stood against the wall with his arm crossed, across his broad chest, he noticed the frustrated expression on his brothers face and he was tempting to laugh but decided to be helpful instead waving his hand causing the nearby vase which happened to be one of his mothers favourite to smash into many pieces, causing all three charmed ones to stop there discussion and turn their attention in Wyatt's direction.
"Ok…why did you do that?" Piper chastised through clinched teeth
"Well it was the only way to get your attention," Wyatt replied
"What is so important that you couldn't wait until we finished talking?" she asked arm crossed around her chest
"Chris…you can take over now,"
"She cryokinetic," he said pointing to the wall still somewhat covered with ice. Jamie looked back and forth between her left hand and at the wall in amazement still not believing that she had cause that with the simply touch.
"Now that is cool a power," Paige exclaimed as she walked towards the wall, running her hand across the remaining ice. Shortly followed by her sisters who too wanted to observe the work of her power.
"That looks a lot more effective than my cryokinetic," Piper mused as too touch the wall solid form
"Maybe cause its Jamie's primary power," Phoebe concluded in an attempt to reassure her older sister
"Maybe…" she replied as the three of them continued to discuss the ice on the wall
"Oh come on Jamie…lets leave them to it there just gonna ignore us anyway," Chris
"Hey…" Phoebe objected
"Um don't try and deny it Aunt Phoebe," Wyatt chimed in smiling "It okay we know we don't exist when the three of you are in the bubble of the charmed ones," Before they could even reply they had left the living room and were heading into the kitchen. Jamie was seated on a stool on Piper's neatly kept kitchen and observed the playful banter between the two brothers as Wyatt raided the kitchen and Chris took a seat next to her
"Looks like you're stuck with us," Chris whispered
And for the first time in what seemed like a long time she smiled, as she thought about it further, the prospect of being stuck with the Halliwell's did not seem like such a bad thing at all.
To be continued…
