Introducing Hope
Present day, San Francisco
"PIPER!" Shouted the voice of Phoebe. "Wyatt's crying for your assistance! I don't think he can change his diaper by himself!"
"I'm coming!" Piper shouted back from the kitchen. "I'll be right back Chris.." She smiled at her youngest son and walked upstairs, leaving Chris in his high-chair in the kitchen.
A soft knock came from the front door. Phoebe sighed to herself, getting up and going to get it. She opened the door to find a young girl, about 5'0" standing there. Her blue eyes sparkling happily. She looked about 14.
"Piper Halliwell? Hi, I'm Hope, Hope Gladstoene. I'm here to apply for a job at P3?" The young girl said hopefully.
"Uh…Piper! Door for you!" Phoebe yelled.
"Ugh! Coming, coming! ..like always.." Piper walked down the stairs, carrying Wyatt. "Yes? Oh! Hope! Hi! Um, come in, let me put Wyatt somewhere and I'll be with you in a second!"
"O-Okay…" Hope smiles, going inside.
Hope looked around, examining the unique things in the house. She walked under the Chandelier, looking around. Piper walked in, brushing herself off. Smiling lightly.
"Hope, its good to see you again." Piper shook her hand.
"Well, someone in my family's gotta make the money, you know?" She asked, laughing lightly.
"I just can't believe you're doing it on your own…you're only in your teen years!" Piper smiled lightly again.
"Yeah…still, someone's gotta do it…" She sighed, shaking her head.
Suddenly, the Chandelier above Hope suddenly started to break from the ceiling, Piper looked up nonchalantly, cursing to herself. Yet, as soon as Piper was about to rush Hope out of the room, the Chandelier snapped, Hope looked up, her eyes wide. Piper put her hands up, freezing time.
"..so it's true…" Hope said. "You ARE a witch…"
"Whoa, wait, you can move? That'd mean..you're a…a…"
"Witch." Hope finished. "Just like you. Piper Halliwell." She smiled, her blue eyes glinting.
"Well, that just made my day…" Piper sighed. "So..you still want that job at P3?" Piper smiled as though nothing happened, even though the Chandelier was still floating in mid-air.
"Sure..but..um.." She pointed up.
"Oh..you might want to move…" Piper said rushing her into the kitchen.
They heard a loud crash, then looked to eachother. It wasn't soon after, that Leo had fixed it, and it was back up in its place. He made sure it wouldn't fall this time. Piper and Hope sat in the kitchen discussing her job and her wage. Hope listened, nodding at each question Piper asked.
"Well, okay then! You can start Monday!" Piper smiled. "I know you'll do great."
"Thanks…I wish I had that type of support from my family.." Hope smiled sadly.
"Don't worry…" Piper placed her hands on top of Hope's. "You're always welcome here."
"Thanks, Piper. Nice to know." She smiled. "Oh..I best get going…my whitelighter's probably getting pissed with me…I told her I'd only be gone for a few minutes…"
"Your Whitelighter? Whats their name?" Piper queried, tilting her head.
"Her name is Michelle. She's a really good friend…and I hope she'll be my friend for a long time. She's all I really have.."
"Michelle, huh? Why not bring her over sometime? Maybe she knows Leo."
"I'll ask her." Hope laughed lightly.
"So..just out of curiousity…" Piper started. "Whats your power? Or..powers?"
"Powers." Hope smiled. "I have Astral Projection, and this nifty little trick…"
Hope held up her hands, a candle light appearing on each finger. I inherited it from my mother, before she was killed... Hope brushed a few strands of her silk blonde hair behind her ear and smiled up at Piper.
"I'm sure you'll do fine, just know you've always got us here…" Piper nodded.
"Thanks…I'll remember that. Now, excuse me, I have to go take care of my Grandmother. I'll see you on Monday!" Hope walked out, smiling.
The Gladstone Residence
"Where is she?" Michelle sighed. "I'm bored…"
"Who are you?" Dorthy, Hope's Grandmother, asked Michelle.
"I'm just waiting for your Grandaughter Mrs. James." Michelle said to the old woman.
Poor Dorthy, she suffered from Memory loss. Hope was going to try to save up money for medicine or something for her sick grandmother. Hope's mother was killed by Jeremy, Piper's OLD boyfriend, and her father, she never knew. But she knew her father had found out her mother was a witch and fled at the thought.
Ever since Hope's mother had died a few years ago, Michelle arrived and has helped young Hope out. Because Hope needed guidence, or she'd be dead. Hope was so close to giving up, giving it all up. Hope had lost all hope, no pun intended. She wanted to be with her mother. That's all, just a little more time with her.
Michelle helped her through her hard time, and Hope was doing much better now. Michelle was like her guardian angel along with her whitelighter, and that's the way Hope wanted it to stay.
Well, chapter two! I know this was a big jump in time…like you know, a 60 yr. jump..lol. But, you've now met Michelle's witch, Hope. Hope is the daughter of the witch that was killed in the first episode of Charmed, you guys remember, right? Lol. Well, r&r, I'm working on my next chapter!
