Sorry Guys! I know it's been forever since I've updated, but I was hoping to keep the story rolling in real-time. I hope you enjoy!

It's January 10th, and I just woke in a room that is still foreign to me. I ascend the stairs and suddenly I feel a wave of stress as I open the door. I look inside to find my new guardian, Aunt Piper sipping coffee with her sisters, Aunts Phoebe and Paige. At that moment, I fall forward, hitting my head on the island under the weight of the emotional onslaught.

As I come to, I hear Piper say, "Well, it might make sense. Lucy said that Trev has displayed telepathic tendencies, maybe Troy is too." Wait… what does the cousin I've never met have to do with me loosing consciousness?

"Sweetie, you know that's not how it works. Don't you realize? The three of us have synched up since Coop, the girls, and I moved next door. Troy must be empathic. It is that time of the month." Phoebe was starting to freak me out, but I still don't have the strength to open my eyes.

"Oh my! Thank God none of us are pregnant!" That's Paige for you, huh?

"Or having sex. Good God in Heaven! We could've killed the poor boy!" Leave it to Piper to turn marital abstinence into a form of first aid.

"Okay, enough!" I respond my eyes still only half lidded. "Everybody, I need to know what in the hell is going on, and NOW!"

So, the girls lead me into the living room and explain that I'm a witch and that my mother had blocked not only my powers, but my cousin Trevor's as well and that her death has nullified any protection. Now I understand why I had to go into the Witness Protection Program. This is why I cannot contact anyone from my old life.

Suddenly the phone rings and Wyatt appears in front of it in a swirl of blue and white fireworks. Needless to say, I fainted.

After being revived, Piper remarks, "Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that the three of us, along with our children are witches as well. That's why your folks left you in my protection." Her sisters were laughing in hysterics, so I relaxed and let out a chuckle as well.

We were so rudely interrupted by the doorbell. I know the drill by now. I'm supposed to be in Europe at boarding school. Nobody but the family can know that I'm actually here. I start for the stairs but Chris meets me at the landing.

"I've got an idea. You have to promise not to say a single word. Do you promise?" A fervent nod let him know that I agree. "'Kay. Let the object of objection become but a dream as I cause the scene to be unseen." I felt a tingle and looked at a mirror. All I saw was the wall behind me. SWEET! Chris just made me invisible! I run into the foyer to see a horrible sight at the door. It was Sharpay.

"I don't care. I want to know where he is so I can kick his ass!" Always the actress, she said the most heinous words that she's uttered in her life with such a thick layer of sugar that it takes Piper a moment to decipher the message.

"He's unavailable, young lady. There's nothing I can do about it." My guardian states with such diplomacy that she could win over the UN.

I run to her and whisper, "It's okay, call me from upstairs. I'll tell her that I'm on break." The next thing I know, I'm at Chris' bedroom door screaming for him. "Fix me now."

"Sure thing dude. Let the object of objection be returned so that his existence can be reaffirmed." Before even checking, I'm running to the stairs to see Shar.

"What's up?" I ask once we're alone.

"He's kept trying to get a hold of you. Nobody will tell him anything. Finally, someone mentioned something to the effect of, 'maybe he doesn't want to be found.'" She starts calmly.

"That's insane. If I had any choice in any of this, I would've stayed with him. I wouldn't have even come to San Francisco." I reply.

"I know that. On some level he knows that too. But that didn't stop him from downing an entire bottle of Valium. He's been in the hospital for a week and the doctors want him in an asylum for a while." At this point a stray tear escapes. I'm so in shock that I can't even console her. Plus, I don't think the 'I know how you feel' approach is going to work, it's still too new of a sensation.

"Let me go and see him. I need to talk to him." I plead with Piper after I compose myself.

"Fine, but Chris and Wyatt are going too. Wyatt has a force-field that can protect you and Chris can get you out of there if anything goes awry." I agree. "This is only to say 'goodbye'. You need to tell him that you love him and that that'll never change, but if it's too dangerous for all parties involved to keep contact at this point." I still agree. I'm crestfallen, but I agree nonetheless.

So, Sharpay, Wyatt, Chris, and I are piling into her convertible and Wy's Hummer, respectively. It's going to be a long drive back to New Mexico. I just hope that Ry'll hold on for me.

Well, whadda y'all think? I'm seriously hoping to update tomorrow, but no promises. Dominus Vobiscum!
