"So does this mean that I have powers?"

"Well yes, most witches have at least one active power and as they learn to handle it and control their power they can receive more powers. But I'm telling you this now, being a witch is hard work, you can get hurt or even die doing this", replied Patty.

"I don't care, this is just so cool."

"Hold it, are trying to tell us that we have to train a second witch now", asked Paige who had been standing next to aunt Katie, desperately trying to get her to calm down.

"That is exactly what I'm telling you Paige, and she's not only a witch she's your little sister and I expect you, all three of you to be good role models for her."

All of a sudden the chandelier above us began to shake ever so slightly and a bright blue and white light came down around Paige, Phoebe, Piper, and me.

" The legend has come true my dears, and soon the underworld will know all about Paris and how she is the fourth charmed one. Now we must go, blessed be." These were the last words Grams spoke before her and Patty were consumed by a swirl of white lights and disappeared.

"Well it seems that we have a new witch in the family", stated Phoebe with a smile.

"And a new sister, I wonder if we have any other sisters that Mom and Grams haven't told us about yet," added Piper as she picked up a sleepy Chris and went up stairs to put him down for a nap as little Wyatt followed her rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Well I think we have had enough excitement for one day, we better get going Paris."

"Katie can we ask you to let Paris stay the night here tonight, she should probably get to work on everything as soon as she can," asked Phoebe.

"Sure."

"We'll bring her back tomorrow," said Paige as aunt Katie walked out the front door and closed it behind her. Aunt Katie was clearly in shock.

The rest of the day and that night was more boring than I could have ever imagined, the sisters had me reading book after book on spells, potions, herbs, demons, and the most boring of all: history. I felt like I was in school only with a new twist: everything was about magic. The plus side though was that I learned all I could have ever wanted to know about magic.

The next morning I woke up with my face in a book about writing spells. For a minute I didn't know where I was, until Paige walked into the room and then I remembered everything from the day before. All of a sudden it occurred to me that I had ice skating training at 9:00 and my watch said it was 8:40. As I looked up from my watch the room disappeared in a swirl of white lights and the next thing I knew I was standing in the main hall of the ice rink.

My thoughts raced as I wondered what could have happened. How could I have gotten from the Halliwell manor to the ice rink in less than one minute? And what were all of those swirling white lights?

"Good morning Paris, the zamboni just went out so if you get your skate clothes and skates on you might have a few extra minutes to warm up," said my skate coach, Nancy, as she walked past me on her way to the front office.

I headed for the locker room wondering if my sisters were going to be mad at me even though I didn't even know what I did to get to the rink in the first place. I decided that the only choice I had was to go along with my training session and afterwards I would sort everything out. I rushed to my locker hoping that I had extra skate clothes inside because I obviously had none with me. When I opened the locker I found my white and blue competitive figure skating outfit and an extra pair of skate tights. Next to everything sat my shiny white figure skates.

I quickly put the clothes on and got out on the ice. I love skating on smooth ice after the zamboni has been out. It makes you feel like you're gliding through the clouds and never want to stop.

"Ok Paris, I want you to start out with some fast stroking exercises and then I want you to work on your triple lutz and double axle," said my coach as she stepped out onto the ice. I took off like there was no tomorrow, I mean that's what happens anyway when you do stroking: you speed up with every step you take.

After two hours of working on my triple lutz and double axle I had finally had it down and could do it almost every time I tried. The lesson was over and Nancy left, but I stayed and got back on the ice after the zamboni came out because there was a public session that started right after my training. I stopped in the middle of the empty rink to tighten the laces on my left boot when I looked towards the wall and saw Paige and Phoebe standing off the ice.

I finished tying up my boot and put my best innocent face on and slowly skated towards the wall.

"Oh come on Paris, I invented the innocent face, it won't work on me", sighed Phoebe.

"I didn't mean to. All I know is that I remembered that I had skate training this morning then I looked at my watch and saw that it was about to start in twenty minutes and then I saw all of these bright white lights and I was here."

"Piper's not here because she had to take care of the club she owns but I bet if she were here she would be very upset with you, you have to be more careful", warned Paige.

"Careful? I didn't know this was going to happen!"

"Well just try not to think so hard about being somewhere from now on, ok?"

"Ok."

BANG

A metallic blue ball off energy whizzed right past me and blew a hole in the wall of the ice rink. I turned around and on the far end of the rink standing on the ice was a lady dressed all in black with the same strange tattoos all over her face as the man the day before.

"I have an idea, Paris why don't you try to vanquish this demon on your own and show us what you can do?" Offered Phoebe.

"Are you kidding? I don't even know how to use my powers yet or know what they are!"

"Just do your best, maybe you can confuse her with some of your figure skating."

I skated at the demon as fast as I could thinking that my speed might make her grow afraid and leave, but instead she threw a small energy ball at me and I fell on my side. I quickly got up and started to skate backward to confuse her but when I jumped up to do a triple lutz I kept going up until I hit the ceiling and I couldn't get down. All I could do was fly above the demon and try to dodge energy balls. I couldn't believe it I was really flying!
