Author's Notes: Okay my first Charmed story, so enjoy! I would appreciate all reviews, even the horrible ones; it will still tell me that someone is reading this. I do hope to update but I do have exams so bare with me. Also, I apologise in advance, I'm English, so I won't be using American slang but I do watch the show a lot and will try and do my best.

Okay so basically the story takes place at around the beginning of the fifth season, however Phoebe and Cole are together, Piper is pregnant. My story will not follow any of the fifth season episodes. Everything before that did happen but with Phoebe and Cole staying together.

PrUe AnD AnDy!- Yeh! You will, Piper and Phoebe do a lot of speculation but they will find out around chapter 3.

Brooklyn Halliwell- Thanks for you review, it's appreciated.

Anonomous – I'm touched, but I would hardly describe myself as awesome.

Nicole812us- I glad you like her, I like her a lot too. Um, with the Charmed Ones I will try and keep it even, but I think this story will be based on Persephone's introduction to fully being a witch and how she copes with it, mean she's only 16 so there is lots going on in her life without her being a witch.

Disclaimer: Okay, I don't own any of the characters except Persephone and Danny (he comes a bit later).

End of last chapter

"You're right you do have a right to be here. This house and everything in it is your future especially the magical parts want to see?"

The San Francisco sunset shone through the large windows at the top of the Halliwell Manor. The rays moved on to a large bookstand and revealed a very old book on it. The sunlight reflected off the red triquetra and it seemed to be glowing. Suddenly, the book flipped open and pages turned magically, finally resting on a blank page. If anyone had been in the attic they would have been able to read what was being invisibly written in a long and flowing script.

As the writing finally stopped it began to fade until if anyone looked upon that page, they would not know something had once been written upon it. At that moment the attic door swung open and in walked Piper Halliwell, the book seemed to notice this and slammed shut.

Behind Piper, walked her two sisters, Phoebe and Paige, and Piper's newest niece, Persephone, who as smiling in between them.

"This is the Book of Shadows!" she said sighing, "The key to the Halliwell witches' strength, everything we live by and everything we do as saviours of the innocents, is written down here."

"And now it's yours too!" Paige said, looking down at Persephone next to her.

"The Book of Shadows! I can't believe it, I heard things about it but I never thought I would see it." Persephone whispered in awe. She then got up, walked over to the book and began to flick through the pages.

"Honey, how did you know about the Book of Shadows?" Phoebe inquired, as she took a seat on the couch next to Piper and Paige, facing Persephone.

"Well when I found out I had powers I did as much research into them as I could, mainly using the Internet. However, sometimes I used to hang out at Wicca Cult shops, I would pretend I was doing a school assignment and ask questions. I knew if they were actual witches that gathered in the shops they wouldn't talk around me. So, when they weren't looking I would use my power to turn myself invisible and listen to what they said." Persephone said in a matter of fact tone.

Phoebe and Piper exchanged a knowing glance, "You know that sounds like the sort of thing Prue would do." Piper said sighing.

"And back downstairs with your whole little speech thing, you reminded me of her so much." Phoebe added.

"Really?" Persephone replied her eyes lighting up.

"Yes, you look very like her as well," Piper replied.

White orbs appeared in the attic in front of the Book of Shadows, and the form of Piper's husband appeared. He walked over to Piper and kissed her on the cheek. When he pulled away, he caught a glance of Persephone at the Book.

Leo looked very flustered but Piper put a reassuring hand on his back and said, "Its okay, Persephone's a witch too."

"Oh right!" Leo answered and held out a hand to Persephone, which she shook.

"Nice to meet you Leo!" Persephone pronounced.

"Err, how did you know my name?" Leo asked curiously.

"Well, I did lots of research on the Charmed Ones, I didn't mean to its just I had to find out about you. I found out that your name was Leo Wyatt and the only Leo Wyatt I could find died in 1944. So I guessed you were a whitelighter."

"Who's your whitelighter?" Leo replied smiling, admiring the girl's maturity and precision to detail.

"I don't have a whitelighter, because the Elders don't know about me." Persephone uttered.

"Piper, why don't the Elders know about her, what aren't you telling me?" Leo said in a frustrated tone.

"Why don't you come down to the kitchen with me and I'll tell you there." Piper took Leo's hand and led him down the stairs.

Persephone took a worried glance at Paige, so Paige said, "Hey sweetie, don't worry, Piper will tell Leo everything and then he will tell the elders. Come and sit down here and tell us a bit about yourself."

Persephone strode across the attic floorboards and sat down on the couch. "Well, I'm just 16, my birthday is August 24th, so I'm a Virgo. I live with my best friend Danny and his family, have done since I was 14, I ran away from the foster home I was put in. They didn't try and find me."

"Does this Danny know about your powers?" Paige inquired.

"No, I don't want him to know. Not because he wouldn't understand, because he would. But I know that he would want to help and I don't want him to get hurt."

"You and him seem very close?" Phoebe said happily.

"We are! He's been my best friend for ten years and he's helped me through a lot of stuff. I wouldn't be here if he hadn't looked after me." Persephone answered passionately.

"Hmm, your relationship with your best friend reminds me of someone else's who is not to far away from me." Phoebe giggled. Which earned an elbow in the stomach from Paige. All three of them started to giggle.

Suddenly, three demons shimmered into the room, wearing long brown coats. Phoebe, Paige and Persephone broke apart and the demons sent yellow liquid at them, which only narrowly missed them and hit the table. The part of the table that the liquid had hit began to dissolve.

"Demons!" Phoebe shouted. "Quickly Persephone get out!"

"No! Let me help!" Persephone shouted back as she held out her hands and shot water from them. The water split into three jets and powerfully knocked the demons off their feet and into the wall.

Paige glanced at Phoebe bemused and shouted, "Couch!"

The couch they had been sitting on only seconds ago orbed out and orbed into two of the three demons that Persephone had knocked on to the floor. The third managed to get up and sent the poisonous liquid at Paige and Phoebe. Phoebe levitated them both up out of harms way but they both fell down onto the floor in a heap.

As a wash of water ran down Persephone, she immediately disappeared and in her unseen state she picked up an atheme from the table. Moving her arm she quickly spun the knife into the back of the demon and it exploded. Persephone went to pick up the knife to use it on the other demons but they shimmered out. A rush of water ran back from the ground and revealed her now standing over Phoebe and Paige's still body.

"Piper! Leo! Help!" Persephone screamed. She kept saying their names over and over again. When Leo and Piper orbed in she was checking the pulses of Paige and Phoebe.

"Get out of the way now." Piper shouted as Leo ran forward and held his hands over the two women's limp bodies.

Persephone stepped back, sensing Piper's worried tone and began to walk towards the couch to pull it back up. She looked over at Leo and noticed Paige and Phoebe waking up.

"I have to go talk to the Elders now. Call me and I'll come." Leo said and orbed out.

"Thank god, you two are both okay!" Persephone sighed.

"Where did the demons go?" Phoebe asked.

"Persephone vanquished one of them and the others shimmered out, I blacked out just after that." Paige said sitting up and rubbing her side. "You really need to work on the landing sis!"

Piper turned to Persephone and said, "You did a great job on your first demonic attack, and I want to thank you!"

"It was nothing!" She replied shaking her head in embarrassment.

"Let's go down to the kitchen, I'm starved!" Paige exclaimed, and she walked out the door followed by Phoebe.

Piper began to walk out too but when she reached the door she stopped and spoke to Persephone, "Do you want something?"

Persephone shook her head and said, "Would it be okay if I stayed here and had a look through the book."

"Sure sweetie," Piper replied, "You just come down if you want something, okay."

"Okay, thanks!" Persephone shouted happily and turned towards the book while Piper walked out.

Persephone grabbed the book off its stand, pulled the couch up and began to read. It would be a lie to say that what she read didn't scare her because it did; it also made Persephone question herself.

"I did do the right thing didn't I?" Persephone said out loud, "I mean I love having my powers but I am strong enough to be a witch and the daughter of a Charmed One?" Persephone stop speaking and just listened, as if to hear an answer to her question.

When silence was all she heard she placed the Book back on its stand and began to walk out the door, however a voice stopped her in her tracks. "Of course you are my darling," said a heavenly voice.

Persephone spun around expecting to see someone standing in the attic, although there was no one was there. She just looked for a minute and was about to leave when bright white lights appeared in the attic revealing a young women.

She smiled at Persephone and said, "Of course you're strong enough. You are my daughter."

"Mum?" Persephone uttered in disbelief.

Okay! Please Review! Down There!
