Part Two.
Almost five years ago, there had lived three sisters with one of the sisters' son of twelve. They had not, and had never been, a normal family. One might think it was because all of the sisters were single, all devoted to the one child, and barely raising enough income to support the family of four.
This, however, was not the reason.
You see, Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Wyatt Halliwell were all witches. Not any old witch, casting spells that rarely worked and smoking the house out with incense - they were the Charmed Ones.
Their past was much sketched over. None of them knew half of what their childhood had been about. They had thought they had been told, but in fact, their past was a dark secret that had been erased from their memories when each of them had been but nine years old.
All of them, that was, apart from Wyatt Matthew Halliwell, the only boy of the family.
He not only had the memories of his own past, his father's disappearance into the realms above where he was much respected, the instant powers he had from birth, and the time devoted to him by his mother, aunts and the strange guardian that had appeared when he was a mere baby, but Wyatt also had memories of the rest of his family.
He knew things about his mother that even she didn't know. He knew Paige's foster parents better than she did herself. Phoebe - he experienced her fight with the evil that had taken her over, and almost won - he had also felt her strength as she brought herself back to her sisters.
Ever since he was three years old, Wyatt knew every little thing about his family, that even they didn't know, and he had felt an overwhelming power surge inside him ever since. Was he to know that was he was feeling, the sense of control over his mother and aunts, was evil?
Of course not. Wyatt was a child, nothing more, nothing less. He was just a very, very different child.
Maybe even deadly.
