Powers
Like the day before, the entire family and the three girls were all sitting in the sitting room, looking at each other, trying to figure out who should start. Carlisle, being the father of the family began. "I want to let you know that we have open minds, and will listen to what you have to say, but be aware that we will not agree to anything, with out first knowing all the facts; that includes what you are and how Bella fits into all of this."
The three girls just nodded their heads in agreement. Piper, the oldest begin to talk, "Like we said yesterday, we are family, Bella is our cousin. We come from a very long line of powerful witches, dating back to the witch trails of Salem. Back in the day, witches were more of practicing; making potions, casting curses and such. With each generation, the strength of the witch grew. Becoming more powerful, as well as possessing active powers, not just passive. It was predicted that the three witches will be born into our family lines, that are to be the most powerful of all witches, together forming a the Power of Three, the Charmed Ones, as others refer to us. We each have active and passive powers." Piper looked around at each person in the room, she can tell that they needed more explanations, "You still need proof of out power," turning towards Paige, who went to stand up, "My sister, Paige, is telekinetic, she can move things with her mind. She is also half White lighter, which allows us to orb, or travel between destinations quickly. Paige if you would demonstrate your power."
Paige turned to face the piano, which had candles on it still from the party. She held out her hand, everyone in the room turning to see what she was looking at. "Candle," is all she said, the next thing they saw was the candle in her hand, not even in a blink of an eye. The there were white lights sounding her, nothing, until she went to tap on the Rosalie's shoulder, smiling Paige said, "Hi!"
The vampires stood frozen, they each could move very quickly, but this with moved even faster. Carlisle, began to speak again. "You mentioned that Paige is half White lighter. What is a White lighter?"
Paige took the lead on this question, "Our mother Patty was a witch, but my father was her White Lighter. A White Lighter is sent as a guide for new witches, to help them understand their powers. I am assigned to a charge, I was assigned to Bella. That is how I am able to track her, I know exactly where she is at all times." At the word track, everyone tensed up!
Piper changed the topic quickly, "You all already know the power of my sister Phoebe. Hers are that of premonitions and being an empath. She also has the active power of levitation. Now my power is probably the most active of the three, I have the ability to speed up matter, or slow them down. For instance," Piper turned and nodded at Phoebe, who stood up, she took out of her pants pocket a knife of sorts, walking to the other side of the room she turned quickly and threw it right at her sister. Piper immediately held her hands up to stop it, and there the knife was, frozen in time just shy of her face. With another motion of her hands the knife literally blew up into tiny pieces.
All three girls went to set down on the couch, their new friends just staring dumbfounded at them and each other. Edward still had a lot of questions, as did every one else.
"We still do not know what this has to do with us and my wife, especially our child." Edward was very skeptical.
Phoebe turned to look at Bella, "You were born a witch, it takes time to come into your powers, they grow, as you grow as a witch. The pregnancy, which is also heightened by the vampire half, made the changes happen more quickly. You knew that something was off, but could never put a finger on it. Paige has been able to sense you since you had your first premonition, right after you found out you were having a child. Both you and the baby have powers. Piper, do you think it's time to test her powers, see how much she has grown?"
Piper nodded, "Is there a place that we can go, where we can stretch our powers even more so, to be able to get a feel at what Bella and the baby can do as well."
"I know the perfect place," For the first time Alice spoke, looking at her family, "Lets go play some ball."
