Haley paused and looked around. With a sigh she continued, "But there was a curse placed on our family by a demon that was either jealous or pissed off. My four times great grandmother was the middle child, and jealous because her older and younger siblings both had fallen in love and were married, while she sat on the side lines and watched them live the life she had always wanted. And then one day she met a guy who turned her world upside down. She had no clue what she was getting herself into, but then again she didn't care, because she had finally found love.
"The day he proposed she decided to tell him she was a witch. When the words left her mouth, he grinned and said 'I know'. The story from what I've been told is he gave her a big long speech that the witches in our line have passed down. It's actually the way my mom told my dad she loved him. I'm slowly getting side tracked, sorry. Anyway after his long speech he told her something she never expected to hear, he was a demon. When her family found out they went crazy, and turned their back on her, because they didn't know how to deal with something like this.
"My five times great grandmother was happy for her daughter, but she was scared at the same time. She had the biggest fear that her daughter was going to get her heart broken by this demon, and not have any children. But she was proven wrong. Her daughter had two girls and one boy, the first boy to be born into the family. And she lived happily with her husband until she died at the age of sixty-five.
"But that's not where that story ends. Her husband was destined to take over the underworld sooner or later, but because he married a witch he had to give up all his demonic abilities, and what not. To get him back for turning his back on the underworld a spell, or curse, or whatever you want to call it was cast on the family. It was to take effect on the sixth generation of his family, to the most powerful. Now do the math, while I go to the bathroom." Haley said standing up, and heading off in the direction of the bathroom, as she let this information sink in.
When Haley walked back into the room, she could tell they were all deep in thought, she bit her lip, something she'd been doing a lot lately, and asked, "Any more questions for me?"
"What exactly is this curse?" Wyatt questioned, as Haley sat down beside him.
"The demonic powers and rights given up would come back and take over, and slowly at that. The descendent would have no clue it was happening until it was to late, and the evil had taken over." Haley looked down at the ground. "There's no known way of preventing it from happening. At first everyone thought it was a joke, but as time progressed they could feel the evil everyone has inside themselves somewhere growing slowly. And once it fully takes over, who knows what's going to happen. My four times great grandfather packed a hell of a lot of power on his own, and add that to the power Aurora packs right now, and god only knows what can happen."
Haley closed her eyes, 'Here comes the hard part,' she thought to herself before she took a deep breath and said, "For all I know, I'm going to have to kill one of my sisters, and I can't do that. I can't go through the pain of losing someone else." As the tears fell from Haley's eyes she felt Wyatt wrap his arms around her.
"We won't let that happen." Wyatt whispered in her ear.
"I'd like to see you try to stop it." Haley replied.
"This is the twenty first century." Piper said getting up and walking over to Haley. She crouched in front of her and looked her in the eyes, "We'll figure something out. There will be no evil siblings in this neighborhood."
Piper's mind drifted back to when Wyatt was one and Chris had shown up from the future to prevent Wyatt from turning evil. Chris had managed it, only to loose his own life. Piper was pulled out of her thoughts by Haley's voice, "It's not going to be as easy as you think it is. Our mom and grandmother tried everything imaginable to prevent it from happening. They even tried to bind Aurora's powers, but when our grandmother died, and her powers went to our mom, the binding spell broke. Then a week later our mom was killed and all hopes of preventing it disappeared. I've tried everything they did and then some."
"We'll have a talk with the Elders, see if they can help at all." Piper stated.
Haley snorted. "They won't help. They turned their back on our family a long time ago. I highly doubt they'll be willing to help at all."
"Oh believe me hun. They'll be willing to help once I'm threw with them." Piper stated, standing up. "Do we know how long we have until the evil talks control?"
"I hope forever. I'm hoping Aurora has enough good in her to fight it." Haley sighed. "But we have until her twentieth birthday. Her birthday marks the anniversary of the day the demon got married and left the underworld and his rights. And we figure her twentieth birthday, because that's how old our four times great grandmother was when they got married."
"Then look on the bright side," Paige smiled, "We have around four years to figure out what to do."
Haley nodded, "So I told you our story. You going to tell me yours?"
Piper, Paige, and Phoebe looked at each other. "You better get comfortable," Phoebe started.
"This is going to be a long story." Paige finished, and the two turned to Piper, giving her a look as though to say, 'Go ahead tell the story.'
With a small sigh Piper started, "It all started with Melinda Warren..."
Aurora smirked at her dad, "Glad to know I'm not the only one who can't cook in this house."
"I can cook." Her father protested, while putting the pot of spaghetti sauce into the sink.
"Dad you burnt the spaghetti sauce, so far I have been the only one to do that in this family." Aurora laughed.
"Then lets hope you find a guy that can cook, 'cause otherwise you'll either starve, or get fat off of fast food." Donald replied..
"I'm glad you're so confident that I'll get better at cooking." Aurora said sarcastically.
"All part of my job." Donald joked. "Look I'm going to go get some Chinese Food, anything specific you want?"
"How about dry garlic?" Aurora replied.
"Don't forget the rice!" Charisma yelled from the living room.
Donald shook his head. "I'll be back in a half hour or so."
"You better hurry. I'm getting hungry." Aurora replied, before walking into the living room, and sitting down beside Charisma.
"I'll go as fast as I can." Donald said as he walked out the front door.
Aurora laughed and shook her head. "Aren't you glad you gave him a second chance?" Charisma questioned her.
Aurora smiled at her younger sister, "I'm very glad I gave him a second chance."
"Can I ask you a question?"
"I think you just did Charisma." Aurora replied.
"You know what I mean Aurora."
"Ask away." Aurora said, closing her eyes, as she curled up on the one side of the couch.
"What was the demon talking about last night?"
Aurora's eyes shot open, "Nothing Charisma. You know those demons they all have a few screws loose in those heads of theirs."
"Don't lie to me Aurora."
"What makes you think I'm lying to you Charisma?"
"Your eyes." Charisma simply stated. "I can tell by your eyes. I'm surprised you haven't noticed, your eyes always give you away."
"No they don't."
"Yes they do."
"No they don't Charisma."
"Yes they do Aurora." Charisma replied before saying, "Can you please tell me what he was talking about?"
"Basically I pack a lot of power." Aurora sighed. "Because the most power goes to the middle, or second child in the family."
"Why?"
"Because that's the way it is with our family."
"Do you think it's the same with Chris's family?" Charisma questioned.
"Probably not."Aurora replied. "And if you ask why I'll use my telekinesis on you again."
"Fine. I'm going to go up to my room. Call me when dad comes home with the food." Charisma said standing up and leaving the room.
Aurora sighed, 'If only Haley was here to take on that question.' she thought to herself, as she picked up the cordless.
"Wow." Haley whispered when Piper finished the story."Wonder why we never heard of you guys. You'd think every magical being would of heard about you."
"Almost everyone has." Paige replied.
"Guess we live a more magical sheltered life the I thought." Haley sighed. "Now if only Aurora heard that, maybe then she wouldn't care about you knowing our family secret."
"Are you going to tell her we know everything?" Chris questioned.
"Are you kidding me? Aurora would kill me." Haley laughed.
"I can't believe you're scared of your sisters." Wyatt stated.
Haley looked at him with a smile on her face, "Hey you'd be scared too, if you had a sibling that could send you five feet in the air and keep you there for awhile."
"Who said I didn't?" Wyatt questioned. At Haley's raised eyebrow Wyatt said, "Chris has telekinesis too."
"Wow, our siblings are a lot alike." Haley mused, at the same time Haley's cell rang. "Hello?"
"Hey Haley." Aurora's voice drifted through the phone a little too cheerily.
"Hey Aurora what's up?" She questioned in the same cheery tone, which earned her a few looks.
"Not much really. What about you?"
"Just talking here."
"That's awesome, Haley."
"Always is." Haley paused and sighed. "Enough of this what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything."
"Uh huh, sure you didn't. Why else would you be acting perky? Are you possessed again?" At the looks she got from Wyatt's family she mouthed, 'I'll explain later.'
"I didn't. And no I'm not possessed again. It's just...I could of really used you here Haley."
"What happened?"
"Charisma asked me about what the demon was talking about last night., and I didn't know what to say. So I told her that the most power goes to the middle child. And then she started to ask questions, so I threatened to send her flying. And by the way why didn't you tell me about Charisma being able to levitate?"
"First, tell Charisma I'll talk to her later about it all. Second, stop threatening her with your telekinesis, that is not nice. And third, it slipped my mind. Now is all you called for?"
"And to tell you dad burnt the spaghetti sauce."
"Dad burnt the spaghetti sauce? You're kidding me right?" Haley laughed.
"Nope. He went to get Chinese food so that we don't starve."
"Well at least now we know where you get your horrible cooking skills from."
"I'm not that bad."
"Sure your not sis. But I gotta go. I'll see you in an hour or two."
"Kay, bye Haley."
"Bye Aurora." Haley said, putting her cell away.
"So what was this about being possessed again?" Phoebe questioned.
"Oh last year Aurora was taken over by some blonde bimbo's spirit. It was quite comical, really. I've never seen Aurora giggle and act all girly girl like that before." Haley laughed at the memory.
"So you guys run into a lot of demon's, and things like that I take it?" Paige asked
"A fair amount of demons." Haley replied. "When we were younger, our mom made a game out of it. Who ever vanquished the most demons in a month, got a present. It was my moms way of making sure we didn't get scared. 'Cause you know there are some pretty nasty looking demons out there."
"Supper was good." Aurora stated. "You're an awesome chef, dad."
"I know, it's just so hard to drive to the restaurant, order the food, wait for it, drive it home when you get it, and put it on the plates." Donald replied.
"It takes pure talent. Talent I hope I inherited." Aurora laughed.
"I bet you did. If you can't cook, I'm pretty sure you can do that." Donald said, as he cleared the table.
"Aurora do you think you can help with the computer? It was beeping at me earlier." Charisma said, getting up from the table.
"Maybe the reason why it was beeping at you was because it doesn't like you." Aurora replied.
"Oh yea, the computer just hates me." Charisma said rather sarcastically.
"Wow you turn ten, and your sarcasm increases." Aurora sighed. "I'll be up in a sec."
"Ok." Charisma said leaving the room.
Shaking her head Aurora asked, "Need any help in here?"
"No I think I got it.." Donald replied.
"Kay. Call me if you need anything." Aurora said, before leaving the room, and heading upstairs. As she walked into her younger sister's room she said, "So let me see this beeping computer of yours."
"Oh don't worry about it." Charisma said smiling at Aurora, "I fixed it."
"So I walked up those stairs for nothing?"
"I guess so. Unless you go into your room and use your computer." Charisma replied.
"I should, I wonder if anyone I know's online." Aurora said, as she turned and left Charisma's room.
When Aurora got into her room she closed her door, and sat down at the computer, signing in she was surprised by a message.
Reagman: Hey there!
ATC: Hey, how are ya?
Reagman: I'm good. U?
ATC: Fine.
Reagman: So what are you up to?
ATC: Just waiting for Haley to get home.
Reagman: Where is she?
ATC: Out with a friend of hers.
Reagman: Boyfriend?
ATC: Reagan you ask a lot of questions. Look I'm going to go. Talk to you later.
Reagman: Bye.
Aurora signed off, Reagan just didn't get the hint. With a sigh she lied down on her bed, and stared at the ceiling. Her homework was done, she was already bored of the computer, Charisma was on her own computer, and Haley wasn't home. Aurora was bored out of her mind. Rolling over on her bed, Aurora picked up her stereo remote from the floor, and turned the stereo on. As she rolled back onto her back, dropping the remote beside her, older music drifted through her room.
A smile came to her face as she closed her eyes and listened to the music. Her mother's music. The music she remembered hearing when she was younger. As the music played, Aurora curled up, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
AN: Wow, kinda sucky, but o well. Hope you like it. Thanks for all the reviews you guys, but I got the feeling you guys don't like cliffhangers...sorry. lol
CharmedClover: Cliffhangers are great, especially when it comes to big bad curses. Yea I know, I was fighting with myself. Part of me wanted Haley to just leave it, and another part of me wanted Haley to reverse it. You know what part I went with. I'm glad I can't get rid of you that easy. lol. I'm still pondering who's going to make the first move, I'm kinda leaning towards Aurora, but we'll see.
DrewFullerFanLife: Thanks :)
csi-fan88: It's great to have people hooked, means more reviews. lol
