Halliwell Destinies
Chapter 1
Pierce Halliwell sat quietly behind her large maple desk. She was the youngest person in her division and as far as she knew she was the youngest in this whole building. She had struggled through 6 years of college before landing herself with the San Francisco police. This was all how she had come to meet Darryl Morris, the close friend of the Halliwell sisters and Leo Wyatt. Darryl swore that Pierce was somehow related, she said no but yet he brought this man anyway.
"So your mother, Patricia Halliwell, whatever happened to her?" the man asked, he had introduced himself as Leo Wyatt.
"She died." Pierce answered firmly.
"I know that." Leo replied leaning back in his chair.
"What is it that you want?" Pierce barked, she wanted so badly to be angry with him but he was too nice.
"I want you to meet Phoebe and Piper Halliwell and Paige Matthews." Leo said to her.
She looked at him for a moment. Although she could read peoples emotions and even their thoughts when she wanted to, but Leo Wyatt wasn't trying to hide anything. This tall sandy blonde haired man with a serious look to him was trying to hide absolutely nothing. He smiled, knowing she was trying to sense him out. His smile was affectionate and she felt like she knew him even though she was sure she didn't.
"So, you are aware of your powers." Leo nodded with this revelation.
Pierce was shocked. She looked at Darryl who looked unaffected by this.
"He knows." Leo replied to her disbelief.
"How does he know? Are you all witches or what?" Pierce became angry, FINALLY she thought to herself.
"Well, I'm a white lighter. Paige is half white lighter, half witch, like you. And Phoebe and Piper are witches. And Prue was a witch."
"Who are all these people? Besides you."
"The Halliwell sisters. There seemed to only be 3 of them then Paige popped up and now Darryl found you. So that makes 5."
"I am not their sister."
"Will you at least meet them?" Leo pleaded.
"I have got a job to do!" Pierce knew there was nothing pending.
"I can cover for you." Darryl said finally speaking.
"What? Ugh! Only if you promise to leave me alone after I prove you wrong."
"If I am wrong, I will leave you alone." Leo promised.
"Aren't you an elder anyhow?" Pierce asked coming around the desk.
"Yes."
"Then how are you their white lighter?"
"I'm not."
"Then what the hell are you to them?"
"I'm Piper's... husband." Leo struggled to say the words, he touched Pierce lightly then they orbed.
"I can orb on my own you know!" Pierce barked then looked around.
They had orbed into a large very old looking home, more vintage then anything else. The house seemed to be completely made of wood and it looked like the home a witch would live it. But to the normal person it just looked like someone had a funky house.
Pierce had realized she had practically been yelling in the face of a man looking to be about her age. He had dark hair and a mysterious look to him. Neither of them spoke for a minute and Pierce became oddly aware of the way she looked.
Her long thick dark brown hair was down and flowed in soft curls at the bottom like it usually did. Her green sharp eyes were hidden behind glasses that she wore when she worked for reading the fine print in some files. She was wearing jeans today with a black top that split at the elbow and fell down.
"You said she was a detective Leo." The man she had been staring at said to Leo.
"She is." He replied.
"She doesn't look like one."
"Pierce, this rude white lighter is Chris." Leo introduced him.
Chris was tall with tousled dark brown hair and dark eyes that were just begging for a challenge. She sensed he was a white lighter but also something else, she wasn't exactly sure what but it was something. He was one of the most attractive men she had seen in a while and most of the really good-looking ones were convicts.
"What kind of detective are you?" Chris asked her, he was still really close and it didn't even bother her.
"Homicide." Pierce answered.
"Chris, don't scare her." A very pretty woman who put off an aura of serious power came into the room with a big smile on her face and a baby on her hip.
"Pierce Halliwell, this is Piper Halliwell and Wyatt." Leo said taking Wyatt in his arms.
Piper handed Wyatt to Leo then extended her hand to Pierce. She was even more beautiful close up. She had the same long dark brown hair that Pierce was so proud of. Piper was the oldest of the three at the moment but Pierce knew that Piper had not always been the oldest. Pierce could tell that Piper was very earth drawn and it made her a good mother.
"She looks so much like mom." Pierce turned to where the voice came from.
"Phoebe, this is Pierce." Piper said taking over Leo's job of introducing people.
"I know." Phoebe came into the room.
She was close to the same height as Piper but she seemed to be the shorter sister. Phoebe had short dark hair and wore a very cute slinky white top. Phoebe was very pretty too which seemed to be running in the family. She wore a huge happy grin and she could feel that Phoebe was tapping into her feelings and it felt like Phoebe was trying to resist.
"Hi, how are you?" Phoebe said coming in and giving Pierce a big hug that made Piper laugh.
"Hi, I'm fine, thank you." Pierce replied but smiled at her.
"So, you can orb on your own?" She turned to see a girl she knew had to be Paige.
Good looks did run in the family, but Paige was very fair skinned with red hair that she knew wasn't really the color. She knew it was naturally dark like the rest of them. Paige had big full lips and a jumpy sort of look to her, like she was about to jump up and down.
"I can orb on my own, yes." Pierce answered her, breathing her in.
"Did you ever have problems at first?" Paige asked her.
"Yeah for a while I could only half way orb or I would orb and be in the middle of the places where I was suppose to be orbing to. My uncle Patrick couldn't orb, he was full witch so he wasn't capable of orbing, so he taught me that orbing was the most important thing I could do." Pierce went on, she loved Patrick and missed him horribly.
"Uncle?" Piper jumped into the conversation.
"Yeah he lives in LA, Patrick Halliwell." Pierce answered.
"We have an uncle!" Phoebe cried.
Pierce smiled, I could get use to having sisters, she thought to herself. But they wouldn't treat you like a sister, she heard in her head. She had always had that nagging at the back of her brain, she tried to drown it out. Uncle Patrick had told her once that she been cursed as a child and Patrick's attempts to turn it around where almost successful but fell short by an inch and she was left with a hateful little voice in her head.
"Pierce, we are all dying to know, why didn't the sisters know about you before?" Chris asked, he really was a smart-ass.
"Not that its any of your business," She shot at Chris. "But I didn't even know of any other Halliwell's besides Patrick, Penny and Patricia. And I never met Sam or Patricia."
"You never met them either?" Paige asked with a smile.
"No, from what Patrick said Sam use to come around but he stopped after a while." Pierce said trying not to let them see that it hurt her to say that.
"Well, Pierce, do you want something to drink?" Piper asked.
"Yeah I could really go for something to drink." Pierce replied.
The rest of the afternoon went smoothly they talked about a few things that had nothing to do with what was going on and when the sun was going down Pierce realized that she had been there for almost six hours. She felt a connection with these people that she couldn't find anywhere else except in the home of Patrick Halliwell. The way that Leo hovered over Piper even though Pierce knew they were not together anymore made Pierce long for something like that and the way that Phoebe and Paige messed with each other made her want a sister more then anything.
They talked a while longer until Pierce knew she had to get back to the office to get her things and then go home. She hugged the three sisters and she felt a serious pain when she knew she had to leave. Orbing back to office and getting her things she thought about gong back to their house and staying with them, they were all so nice to her and she felt like they actually wanted her there.
She was contemplating this on the drive home when her cell phone rang. It was Bryan, her boyfriend.
"Hey babe, where you been?" Bryan asked.
"I went to see some people." She wasn't exactly lying.
"Cheating on me again?" He accused.
"Bryan I never cheated on you."
"Whatever Pierce, who did you see?"
"Piper and Phoebe Halliwell and Paige Matthews."
"Long lost sisters? Hah, who would want you?"
"I'll be home soon." She replied and hung up the phone.
She hated going home and she hated Bryan and she hated his stupid pit bull but he was the person who had been there this whole time and besides the fact that he didn't know she was a witch he knew everything else. She wanted to turn around and go right back to work and stay there or go to the Halliwell Manor and stay there.
"What took you so long?" Bryan barked as she came in.
Bryan was thirty and he had worked for her uncle for 3 years before he moved to LA then found Pierce in San Francisco. She had been desperately trying to escape Bryan but he had found her and she could escape now, everyone asked her why she stayed and she didn't know why but where would she go and chances are he would follow her. Bryan was a huge man, he was deadly attractive and good in bed but he had a temper that could kill a person.
"Traffic." Pierce answered as she came in and put her purse and briefcase on the table.
"Don't lie to me." He yelled at her getting right in her face.
"I'm not Bryan."
"Who's Leo?"
"Leo? Leo as in Pipers husband?" Pierce asked looking at Bryan.
"He called here looking for you, he says Darryl gave him your number, who's Darryl?" Bryan growled.
"I work with Darryl, he was the tall black man that has the office next to mine." She was exhausted with Bryan's accusations.
"You cheating on me with a black guy? Is that what keeps you at the office so late?" He grabbed her by her upper arm.
"Let go of me Bryan."
"You aint denying it!" Bryan barked right in her face.
"Get off of me Bryan!" Pierce cried.
"You bitch! You lie to damn much!" Bryan yelled and slapped her across the face.
It stung but she was use to it. He let go of her arm but threw her to the ground. She hit the ground hard on her back. Damn him, she thought to herself. She was about to push herself off of the ground and get up but he kicked her in the side. She let out a pain filled scream as flames began to burst up from the living room sofa. Bryan didn't even stop with that, he kicked her again and again and as he kicked her everything in the apartment started to catch fire.
"You stupid bitch! This would have been fine had you stayed away from those stupid Halliwell sisters! And Leo! Leo should have known I would have found out!" Bryan wouldn't stop kicking her.
Bryan's screams about Leo reminded her that Leo was a white lighter and what a way to find out if she really was a Halliwell with that in mind she began to scream Leo's name. This just made Bryan kick her harder she let out one final scream before she passed into darkness.
"Piper, I think she's coming around!" Pierce heard what sounded like Chris yell.
Everything was pretty cloudy and it looked like there was three Chris's leaning over her and three Pipers running into the room and three Leo's following her.
"Ughhh... What happened?" Pierce's memory returned in a flood. "Where is Bryan?"
Chris's eyes narrowed.
"I vanquished him." Leo said simply.
"Wait, you can't vanquish normal people." Pierce replied.
"No, you cant." Leo looked pained that he was the one to tell her.
"You mean that..." Pierce didn't finish.
"Bryan was a demon, pretty rough one too." Phoebe said coming into the room with a cup of steaming herb tea. "He worked along side Cole for a while. Cole must have known all along."
"If he was a demon how did I go all this time not knowing?" Pierce asked sitting up.
"Well he had some sort of shielding spell. When Cole was around he had in listed a few demons who needed the money to watch over the Halliwell sisters and for you and Paige to remain unknown. It was working for a while." Leo answered.
"How did you know I was in trouble?" Pierce asked Leo as she took a sip of the tea from Phoebe.
"I was a white lighter for the Halliwell sisters, and that means all of them. If you had called my name or Chris's we would have come running. Its amazing that you thought to call me in that kind of state."
"Well, what else could I have done. It was like he had taken my powers or something. How bad of shape was I in?"
"He did a binding spell on you. You were so beaten up it was a wonder that you where even breathing." Piper answered.
"I healed you." Chris boasted.
Piper smiled and looked at Pierce. Relief was written all over her face and Pierce knew that Piper really cared about her even though it wasn't said.
"Pierce, your house was completely burnt to the ground." Leo said.
Pierce breathed in deeply and looked down at the ground. She had guessed that much sense she was here and not there. She let her face fall into her hands and let a few tears slip out, where was she going to live now?
"You can stay here." Phoebe said standing and taking a seat next to Pierce.
Pierce looked up at her.
"I don't want to impose. Your lives seem hard enough without me here."
"Pierce," Piper said taking the other side of the sofa and Paige sitting next to her. "If you don't stay here, where will you go? And in this state you are vulnerable. You don't know what else is out there. Being recognized as a Halliwell sister is not a great thing when you aren't protected. We have Chris and Leo here and that is enough to cover all four of us. Pierce if you are a charmed one then you are in as much danger as we are every day."
