Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed… Yada yada yada. I still want to marry Drew Fuller though.
I'm really sorry I haven't updated for a long time. I was busy and I couldn't really think of anything to add on to the story, but I am back. (:
To clear up any confusion, until this chapter, Leo does not know that Piper and her family are witches and Piper and her sisters do not know that Leo and his family are magical either. Only Penny and Leo's parents know each other's identities.
Also, Leo is a whitelighter but he will not receive his first charge until the elders feel that he is ready to. Erm, he'll probably grow old and live to a certain age, after which he'll be immortal. If you don't understand me, it's okay but I felt the need to add that in to clear up confusion of any sort. Meanwhile, he still has all his powers but he hasn't figured out how to heal yet. He only has his "basic powers", such as orbing, glamouring, making harmless light balls and the ability to make himself invisible.
Yeap, so that's about it. I have no idea which direction this story will go in. I do hope that you all will give me suggestions and such. I'll apologise in advance if the story sucks, but hey, it's my first time. So please, please do review and tell me what you think of it and how I can improve. Thanks. (:
Penny stared at Bonnie hesitantly. Their children were not supposed to learn about this so early. It was not in the elders' plans. They had screwed up, big time. However, they did not have much of a choice. If they did not tell them now, they would be afraid of each other and would not want to see each other, ever again.
That was a consequence they wanted to avoid, as far as possible.
Thus, Penny opened her mouth and the words started to form slowly in her mouth.
"Piper sweetie, please relax. Leo's not a demon or anything. He's a … a … whitelighter."
"A what?" Prue asked suspiciously.
Bonnie replied her calmly, "A whitelighter is a person who guides witches. A whitelighter is sort of a protector of witches. They have the ability to heal. Think of them as guardian angels, minus the wings. Leo's not really a whitelighter yet, he has not received a charge as yet. Only his father and I are full-time whitelighters. The reason why Uncle Chris is not here today is because he's away protecting a witch from harm."
Piper stared at what was going on around here. It was too much for her to bear. Just a few months back, Grams had told her that she was a witch. Then she has had to bear with her broken friendships. And now, the guy whom she thought was the dumbest person on earth, actually she still does think, is a bloody whitelighter. Add her piling schoolwork and the school bitch that she has to deal with.
It was just too much.
Piper scowled and cursed silently under her breath.
"Great! Now you tell me that he's a whitelighter. What's next? Blacklighters? Or Merlin?"
She shouted and stomped up the stairs and into her room
Her sisters on the other hand actually thought that it was cool and asked Leo to do the orbing thing again.
Leo obliged and orbed out.
He then orbed in outside Piper's room. Not that he really knew where Piper's room was, but he found himself pulled towards the door and thus orbed there.
He heard sobbing and sounds of stuff being blown up. Not thinking twice, he made himself invisible and carefully made his way through the half-opened door.
He chuckled to himself. These powers sure do come in handy but if Mum caught me now, I'd be dead. Oh, what the hell.
He looked on as Piper crushed up paper balls and blew them up one by one while cursing Dan.
She cursed him for being the biggest jerk on Earth.
She cursed him for being blind.
She cursed him for being the worst friend on earth.
She cursed him for being the heartless person.
She cursed him for giving her false hopes.
Leo stared in awe. Unknowingly, he felt her pain. He felt his heartache. He groaned in pain. Unable to take it, he crawled silently towards the door and orbed downstairs.
His mother glared at him, "Leo Wyatt, where on earth have you been? It's time to go home. You still have homework to be done by tomorrow!"
He replied weakly, "Yeah, I know. Bye Aunt Penny! Bye Prue, Bye Phoebe. Tell Piper I say bye too."
After the Haliwells bid goodbye, the Wyatts left.
In the car, Leo couldn't help but asked his mother a question.
"Why is it that when the demon attacked, I felt the need to protect Piper from danger? I feel as if I have a special link with her. Why?"
Bonnie stared at her son for a minute and sighed, "Some day you'll find out son. Some day."
