Summary: The Halliwell's have a cousin that they've never met, a cousin with magical powers that comes to stay with them and meets Chris..fatal attraction?

"Phoebe! Piper!" Paige yelled over her shoulder as she stood holding the front door open. A stunning young woman, who looked about 19, had just told her that she was a cousin of the Halliwell sisters, surprising news to say the least. "What.oh..hi," Phoebe started and then faltered as she noticed the girl. "This is Kyra, our cousin," Paige said as Piper joined them, holding Wyatt on her hip. Both sisters looked from Paige to Kyra and back to Paige again. "You're very nervous, aren't you?" Phoebe asked the girl, having already picked up on her emotions; even though she didn't look nervous she felt nervous. Piper and Paige just glared at her, knowing how annoying it was to have an empath in the family. "Your son is adorable," Kyra said, speaking for the first time since introducing herself to Paige. She smiled at Piper and waved to Wyatt, who smiled back in return. Feeling that it was a pretty safe bet the girl didn't mean any harm if Wyatt liked her, Piper invited her in.
Later that night the details were still a little murky. Apparently the girls had an aunt they didn't know about, their mother's older sister. Grams had more secrets than they thought. Kyra was sweet and quite striking, with waist-length honey blonde hair and brilliant green eyes, and she was a witch too. Her abilities included farsight, being able to see everything around her for about 5 miles. She could sense people moving and see through walls. However, it seemed like there was something she wasn't telling them. They called in Chris, who was probably off researching some demon for them to destroy. Chris stared at Kyra for a few minutes before orbing to see what the Elders had to say. When he came back he told them that she was indeed a cousin, but they didn't know who the girls father or grandfather was. She didn't have a record for good or evil so far either, which was very strange. "Okay, you can stay with us if you want," Piper announced to Kyra, who was sitting on the couch playing with Wyatt. "Really? That'd be wonderful!" she said enthusiastically. When she smiled she had a dimple, Chris noticed irrelevantly. Shaking his head as though to clear it he orbed out saying something about having to find out something. "How long has Chris been your whitelighter?" Kyra asked Paige as she showed her to the guest room. "Only for a few months," Paige told her. "Leo still comes around, Wyatt's father, but he's not our whitelighter anymore, since he's an Elder." "Oh. I see." They reached the room and that was the end of conversation for that night.

The next morning Kyra was up early, having heard and felt Piper getting up. Sometime farsight was really a pain she decided as she got up, unable to go back to sleep. She ran her fingers through her thick hair, stretched and finally got out of bed. She changed into a pair of light jeans and a red tube top that showed off her nice figure. Piper spun around in surprise as Kyra entered the kitchen, nearly spilling her coffee in the process. She smiled good humoredly and Kyra shyly smiled back. "Sorry, I guess I'm just not used to having other people awake as early as I am," Piper apologized. "It's okay, I guess I'm just excited to be someplace new," Kyra said, eyeing the coffee. "Want some?" Piper offered. "That'd be wonderful."

Later that day she was being shown around by Chris, the sisters were all too busy to that day, and she was having the time of her life. She had grown up in Boulder, Colorado, and thought the Golden Gate Bridge was beautiful and the California weather had been sunny ever since she had arrived. And Chris, he was really rather nice. A bit of a workaholic sometimes, but still nice and quite interesting. He had told her all about the Halliwell sisters and the Elders. Even though she was a witch she didn't know much about the magical world, kind of like Paige hadn't when she first arrived. And then he surprised her by orbing her around to Paris, showing her the Eiffel Tower and walking around with her. He spoke fluent French, a bit surprising before she remembered that he was a whitelighter and they had strange powers. By the time they got back to the Halliwell Manor she was exhausted and fell asleep on her bed. She was woken up by three pairs of brown eyes watching her from the doorway. She yawned and sat up. "I'm sorry, I was really tired and I guess I just fell asleep," she apologized. Paige was going to see Richard that night, a friend of hers or boyfriend or something, and Piper was going out too, leaving Wyatt with Leo again. That left Phoebe, whose boyfriend was in Hong Kong, and Kyra. They decided they'd head down to P3 for some fun and dancing. At the last minute Chris decided to join them, which surprised Phoebe a great deal. Maybe Chris did know how to have fun she decided.
