Chapter Five

"Yeah. who the hell are you?" Piper asked, peeved.

Phoebe nudged Piper, only to be ignored by her.

"Um. my name's Leah, I'm looking for my niece - "

"Ooh. anther long lost relative."

Phoebe gave Piper a look and nudged her again.

"Please continue." Phoebe told Leah.

"Her parents were killed by that same demon that attacked me today." She choked out.

"Her mother was my sister."

Paige handed her a tissue.

"So, you're saying, your Irene's aunt?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah, that pendant she's wearing, it's been in out family for generations."

"And it's still intact?" Piper asked rudely.

Nudge.

"Ow!" Piper squealed.

"It has been said that of you are able to put on the pendant, then you are family." Leah explained.

"And we're suppose to give it to you? Like that?" Piper stated as she clicked her fingers.

Nudge.

"What's wrong with you?" Piper turned around and glared at Phoebe.

"Excuse us." Phoebe dragged Piper into the kitchen.

"What?" Piper asked.

"What's gotten into you Piper?"

"I don't know, it's just that something isn't right. A woman just comes in and claims to be Irene's long lost aunt and expects us to hand over the pendant which just happens to possess great power."

"Well, we won't know unless we let her try the pendant on, she won't be going anywhere, so what have we got to lose?" Phoebe reasoned.

"Uh. you got a point there."

They walked into the living room. Leah was hugging Irene as Leo and Paige looked on, smiling.

"So. where were we?" Piper exclaimed, smiling.

"She was going to try on the pendant?" Leo reminded her.

"Oh, yes of course, please go ahead. Piper gestured to Leah.

Irene handed Leah the pendant and she put it on, it glowed for a second then went back to its original state.

"See, I'm family." Leah took the pendant off and gave it back to the little girl.

"So, how much does she know about. you know?" Phoebe whispered to Piper as she gestured at Irene.

"I dunno, but we're gonna have to talk to her about it though."

"Listen I have to run, I'll call you later, okay?" Leah said, as she left. She sighed as she closed the door behind her. Irene looked so much like her mother.

"Are you guys gonna be okay? I have to go to check that pendant out." Leo said.

"Sure honey." Piper gave him a kiss and he orbed out.

"So Irene, how much do you know about. magic?" Phoebe nervously asked her.

"Mummy told me, there are demons and witches, I'm a witch and I fight for the side of light, demons are evil and we have to kill them." She proudly shared her knowledge.

"Great, that's wonderful." Paige beamed at her.

"I'll go get some cookies." Piper offered and disappeared into the kitchen.

When she came back, Paige was on the phone.

"Yeah, thanks."

"Bye." Paige hung up and turned around.

"Guess what Irene? That was your Aunt Leah and she's making arrangements to buy a house just a few blocks away from us, you're going to move in with her." Paige announced the news happily.

"Yay!" The little girl jumped.

"I like Aunt Leah, she's really nice. But I'm gonna miss you guys."

"Awww. that's alright honey, we're only just a few blocks away!" Piper replied, hugging Irene. Just then, Leo orbed in.

"Hey, I found out that Leah was telling the truth, the pendant has been in the family for generations and the myth about only family members could wear it is true too."

"Great, because Leah has made arrangements for Irene to move in with her.

"Here sweetie, don't forget your bag." Phoebe smiled as she handed the bag over to Irene. It's been a week since they had found out Leah was Irene's aunt and today Irene is moving in with her.

"Thanks for looking after her," Leah smiled gratefully.

"Anytime," Piper smiled back. They waved as Irene and Leah drove off to their new house.

Back inside the manor, Paige glanced around warily before she shimmered out.
