Author's Note:
Hi guys. This is my first Charmed Fan Fiction. I really love the show, so why not write one? Its really not as bad it sounds (well at least I hope so). I'm only changing one thing in the Charmed Universe. In this story Cole was never vanquished. He still lives in the penthouse and doesn't interfere with anyone's lives.
Most people think its easy being the youngest child, but in reality it's quite the contrary. The youngest is always the last person to do something and is constantly looked after. You can imagine how far the "looking after" part goes in a family of witches. Besides being the youngest in my family, I am also the youngest of my entire generation. Sucks right?
My name is Elizabeth and I am fifteen years old. My mother, Phoebe Halliwell, is the middle Charmed One. She has the powers of levitation, premonitions, and empathy. The empathy power can be pretty annoying if I don't want her to know something, but I manage to find ways around it. Her husband is a cupid, named Coop, ironically.
My eldest aunt is Piper Halliwell. She is the oldest Charmed One and has the powers of molecular combustion (blowing up things) and temporal status (freezing things). These powers can do wonders in a battle with demons and are pretty cool, if you ask me. Aunt Piper is married to Uncle Leo, who is a mortal. He used to be a whitelighter, but gave up his powers to spend more time with his family. Uncle Leo is also the headmaster of Magic School. Aunt Piper and Uncle Leo live at Manor.
Aunt Piper and Uncle Leo have three kids. Wyatt is their oldest and the oldest of our generation. Wyatt is pretty much my opposite. He is brave, smart, and strong. At age 25, he has accomplished more than some people can in a life time. Wyatt graduated as the valedictorian of Magic School, and is currently getting his Master's Degree at the University of San Francisco. Don't be fooled, he could have probably attended any school in the country, but choose to stay close to home. Wyatt was conceived when Uncle Leo was still a whitelighter, so he is half whitelighter half witch. Wyatt's powers include telekinetic orbing, telekinesis, orbing, pyrokinesis, projection, sensing, healing, and energy blasts. He is also the wielder of Excalibur.
After Wyatt, Aunt Piper and Uncle Leo had Chris. Chris is half elder half witch, because Uncle Leo was an Elder when he was conceived. At twenty-three, Chris' powers are telekinesis, telekinetic orbing, orbing, sensing, and limited telepathic communication with his charges. He should never be underestimated. When the Charmed Ones were younger, Chris came to them from the future and gave up his life to stop Wyatt from turning evil.
Aunt Piper and Uncle Leo's youngest child is Melinda. She is the only full witch of our generation. Melinda inherited Aunt Piper's powers of temporal status and molecular combustion. It was hard, but due to her determination, she was able to gain control of these powers. Melinda is twenty years old.
My second aunt is Aunt Paige. If there was a knife to my throat and I had to choose, she would be my favorite aunt. Aunt Paige is a lot more laid back and carefree than my mom and Aunt Piper. Aunt Paige is married to Uncle Henry, who is the chief of San Francisco Police. He is also a mortal. Aunt Paige is half whitelighter half witch and has the powers of orbing, sensing, telekinetic orbing, and glamouring.
Aunt Paige and Uncle Henry also had three kids. Their oldest is Junior, which is short for Henry Jr. Junior hopes to be in the police force, like his father, as a detective. Junior currently goes to a local police academy and is very close to reaching his dream. He is twenty-one years old and is also half whitelighter half witch. Junior's powers include healing, sensing, orbing, energy bolts.
After Henry, Aunt Paige and Uncle Henry had twin daughters. Samantha was born first, and four minutes later came Sarah. Samantha is the more outgoing twin, while Sarah is more quiet and reserved. Samantha's powers include orbing and cytokinesis. Sarah can also orb and has the power to control the weather. Together, while holding hands, Sam and Sarah can heal each other and form a force field. They are both eighteen years old. Sam and Sarah are also seniors at Magic School.
My mom and Coop have two daughters. They are my two older sisters. The oldest is Prue, named after my deceased Aunt Prue. Prue is extremely protective of me. Whenever I' m involved in a demon battle, she makes sure I am behind her. Prue has the powers of astral projection and telekinesis, just like Aunt Prue. She can also levitate. Prue is twenty-two and has her own apartment across town. She works as a photographer in a local magazine.
After Prue, my mom and Coop had Pattie, who is named after my mom's mother, my grandmother. She has embraced more of her cupid side than Prue. Pattie can transport like cupids can. She also has charges, which she helps find love. Pattie also inherited some of my mom's powers. She can receive premonitions and has the power of empathy. Pattie is twenty and shares an apartment with Prue across town. Prue and Pattie are both good martial artists, like my mom. My mom tried to teach me too, but that didn't work out too well.
You've probably been wondering why I call my mom's husband Coop and not Dad. Well actually this is pretty new for me too. Up until yesterday Coop was my dad, my sisters were my sisters, and I was half witch half cupid.
I had been looking forward to yesterday for a while. It was Aunt Paige's fiftieth birthday and we were planning to throw her a surprise party. Birthday parties in the Halliwell family were epic. Aunt Piper would practically cook a feast and all of my family would come together at the Manor for the party. I hadn't seen my sisters in a while and I was actually starting to miss them. Not that I would ever admit it out loud.
Yesterday started off like any other morning. It was Saturday so I was allowed to sleep until 10:00 a.m. My alarm went off and I got up and sleepily made my way downstairs for breakfast. My mom and dad were cooking, and Prue and Pattie were setting the table.
"Morning Mom, Dad, Prue, Pattie" I yawned, still partially asleep. Wait! Prue and Pattie. My eyes drifted back to them and after I was sure they were real and I wasn't dreaming, I ran up to them and engulfed them in a hug.
"Nice to see you too, Squirt," Prue laughed after I released them. Prue was the only one I would let call me Squirt. It sounded so good when she said it.
"It looks like someone missed us." Pattie whispered to Prue.
"Really?" Prue raised an eyebrow and looked at me. "Is that true?"
"No" I shook my head vigorously. "I've been enjoying having the bathroom all to myself" I stated calmly. This was partially true, so maybe, if I was lucky, Pattie wouldn't know I was lying.
I have the worst luck.
Prue quickly looked at Pattie, who was staring at me. I pretended to be preoccupied with the table cloth. Pattie nodded, which meant she knew I was lying. With one glance at Prue, I knew what was going to happen next, so I tried to make a run for it. All the training had made my sisters very fast and strong, so I didn't have a chance. Prue quickly caught up with me and threw me over her shoulder.
I only had one chance. "Mom, Dad help," I pleaded.
My mom and dad turned around. "Coop," my mom said, "What should we do?'
My dad looked at my mom and then at my sisters. "Girls" he said seriously.
Prue put me down. "Yes dad," she sighed.
"Have fun" he grinned.
"Daaaaaaad," I whined as I was carried up the stairs.
Once we reached my room, Prue put me down. "We'll give you one chance," Pattie started, "Just admit that you missed us and we'll leave you alone."
"Never" I said, dashing for the door. Prue quickly grabbed me and threw me on the bed. Then the tickling began. I tried to contain my laughter, but as soon as Pattie started tickling my feet I gave up.
"Okay, okay, I missed you guys" I yelled in between laughs.
"How much?" Prue questioned, increasing the speed of her stomach tickling,
"A lot!" I screamed "I missed you guys everyday you were gone."
Pattie nodded, meaning I was telling the truth and they both stopped the tickling.
"There, that wasn't so hard was it?" Prue asked, smiling.
I responded by sticking my tongue at her. Sure it was immature, but it got the job done.
"You know, you can visit or call us anytime you want. We just moved out of the house, not the family." Pattie stated, looking me in the eyes. I could tell she was reading my emotions.
"I know, but…" I trailed off.
"But what?" Prue asked.
"Come on, you guys. Do you really expect me to believe that you want your kid sister over to your apartment? You guys are adults now and you have your own lives. I get that."
"Hey," Prue said in a tone that cause me to look up "It doesn't matter how old we get, or where we live. You're our sister and we want you in our lives always. So, you visit or call us anytime you want. Okay?"
"Okay" I whispered, wiping away the sudden moisture in my eyes. Mom and Dad must be using onions downstairs.
Prue laughed and pulled me into a tight hug. After she finished, Pattie did the same. "You know we love you right?" She asked.
"Yes," I nodded against her chest.
"Good," she said releasing me.
"Guys, breakfast is ready!" we heard my mom yell from downstairs.
"Race you." I yelled, running downstairs. I won, and I didn't care that they let me win.
After breakfast, my family went to the Manor to help Aunt Piper set up decorations.
As soon as we arrived Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda quickly ran up to us.
"Yes, you guys finally came," Melinda said happily.
"What took you so long?" Chris asked wearily.
"What are they talking about?" my mom asked Wyatt.
"You'll see." He stated.
Suddenly we heard an ear splitting noise. "Wyatt, Chris, Mel, where are you guys!" Aunt Piper yelled. I could have sworn I saw Wyatt and Prue quiver.
"Uhh, in here!" Chris answered.
Aunt Piper stormed in the living room; she didn't even pause when she saw us.
"Prue, you're with Wyatt. Pattie, you're with Chris and Mel. They'll explain your tasks to you. Phoebe and Coop, you guys can help Leo with the decorations. And Elizabeth, you're with me in the kitchen. Everyone got it?"
Everyone quickly nodded.
"Well then go! We're on the clock people." She said, going back into the kitchen. I gulped and followed her.
-
It was now four o'clock and everything had been set up. We were patiently waiting for Aunt Paige and her family to arrive.
Finally we saw the orbs, which signified her presence, and yelled "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
She looked genuinely surprised and actually blushed. I quickly ran up to her and gave her a hug. "Happy Birthday Aunt Paige" I said.
She hugged me back. "Thank you sweetie" she stated, still in shock. "Thanks everyone. Piper I'm guessing this was your doing"
"Guilty" Piper said smiling.
Everyone exchanged hugs with Aunt Paige and Uncle Leo came out with the cake. I guess they were all too caught up in the party to see the demon flame in. I was the first one to see it. Sam noticed my look of terror and followed my gaze to the demon. "DEMON" she yelled.
Everyone quickly went into their battle stances. Well, everyone except me, Uncle Leo, and Uncle Henry. What could we do? We had no powers.
Aunt Piper flicked her hands to blow the demon up, but nothing happened. This was really bad. Wyatt, Chris, Prue, Henry, Mel, Sam, and Sarah tried their offensive powers against the demon, but again, nothing happened. Growing angry at the attempts to vanquish him, the demon sent a shockwave through the Manor that sent everyone in different directions, colliding with various parts of the living room.
My mom and Pattie quickly recovered and charged at the demon. They were no match for his strength and he flung them hard into the pile of gifts we had set up for Aunt Paige. My mom got up, but Pattie lay on the ground, not moving. I could see the blood from where I was hiding. Prue quickly ran over to her, and yelled for someone to heal her. Before anyone could move the demon sent another shockwave through the Manor.
I felt myself getting angry, angrier than I have been before. I was furious. We worked so hard to set up for this party. And who did this demon think he was to just come into our house and ruin it all.
Suddenly, I felt something rip inside of me. I let out an angry cry. I could feel my body changing, and I was loosing control of myself. I could only watch as my body launched a fireball at the demon, quickly vanquishing it.
After the demon was gone, I felt my body going back to normal. From everyone's shocked expressions I could tell it wasn't normal for half witch half cupids to turn into demons and start launching fireballs. Well actually, not everyone looked shocked. Now that I think about it, my mom just looked really guilty. Weird.
After taking in everyone's expressions, I slowly lowered my eyes to my hand, from which the fireball emerged. Then, everything went black.
Author's Note:
I know it was kind of slow, but I needed the sister bonding for later on in the story. It's actually really important. Also, I know this chapter was all over the place, but please bear with me. This was only the prologue. It gets better in the next chapter. Yep, that's it. Thank you for reading. Feel free to leave a review if you have any questions or want to say something. Thanks again :-)
