Chapter two

Present day

She awoke startled, with sweat dripping from her face. Every night she has that same dream. She often reminiscences about that day, the day her life change for better and for worst. That was the day she watched her mother be horrifically killed in front of her, to protect her. It was one of the worst days of her life yet she can't seem to fully hate it because that day she met Wyatt Halliwell. The dream always ended when she started crying on his shoulder, it's like her subconscious wants her to remember how weak and pathetic she was that day. She let her mother be killed, she had to be saved like a fucking damsel in distress and she had cried on a strangers shoulder. It wasn't her proudest moments. But she had met Wy and that made everything seem brighter. She remembered the first time he took her home, how wary they were at first but how the sisters' would mother her like her own mother use to.

Flashback

She was pulled to her feet by Wyatt; she simply stared at her shoes as Wyatt orbed them both to his house. They arrived in the middle of a conservatory, she glanced around and saw a boy around her age maybe a year younger or so playing video games on the TV. She could only see the make of his head; he had a thick mop of dark brown hair that fell to the middle of his neck.

"WYATT MATTHEW HALLIWELL, WHAT TIME DO YOU CALL THIS? HOW DARE YOU HANG UP ON ME! I AM GOING TO SEND YOU SORRY LITTLE ARSE TO THE UNDERWORLD UNTIL YOU LEARN TO RESPECT ME! " A small woman with long straight brown hair and deep brown eyes to matched stormed into the conservatory shouting, when Larissa looked to the woman's eyes she stopped shouting.

"Wyatt, why didn't you tell me you were bringing company? Especially when I'm threatening you to go to erm your grandfathers club the underworld" she watched as the woman stuttered to think of a decent explanation for the underworld. She couldn't help it, it didn't matter that she was weak and broken at the moment she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She heard Wyatt trying to disguise his by coughing, she even heard the boy on the couch chuckle. She looked back to the woman's face and saw confusion but she was trying to hide her own laughter. Her mother use to do that when she was angry, she would hide her amusement. The thought of her mother instantly stopped the laughter that was bursting from her mouth and she felt her eyes fill with tears; she quickly looked at the floor so no one would see. She could feel Wyatt's gaze settle on her and she knew that he had saw.

"Mum she knows about the underworld and magic. I erm found some demons attacking her and helped, I thought it would be safer to bring her here rather than standing in an alleyway." Wyatt explained hesitantly to his mother. She kept her eyes trained on the floor, she had never felt so weak, she usually had so much confidence but the guilt of her mother's death was heavy on her heart and she just didn't have the energy to be strong. Wyatt's mother looked deep in thought and was watching her carefully; she looked up into her eyes and didn't break contact. She was showing some strength she didn't want them to think she was a clueless little girl. She was Larissa Cuno after all she had to be strong. They continued to look at each other in a non threatening way simply just studying when a voice cut through the silence and to more people entered the room.

"Piper there you are, what are you doing? Oh! Who's this?" Asked a red headed woman. She gazed curiously at the three women she knew instantly that she was in the presence of the Charmed ones. She knew that she would end up seeing the Charmed ones. Come on Wyatt freaking Halliwell had saved her; she just didn't think it would be so awe-inspiring to meet them.

"I don't know yet Paige. It's what I'm trying to figure out but my son doesn't seem to be telling me. Maybe he'll listen to his father. LEO!" She wasn't watching Piper anymore, she was watching the boy who had left his video games and joined them. She watched him as he froze and his hand balled into fists. She turned when she heard the sound of orbs.

"What is it Piper? I have a meeting I need to get to." She heard a familiar voice; she had heard it once when she had been 'up there' he was an elder. Not just any elder he was Leo Wyatt, the elder who had started the whole whitelighter and white couples.

"Well Leo, your son seems to have brought a girl home who knows about magic. That's all he's telling us, I thought maybe his father could find out something" Piper said sarcastically, putting emphasis on father. Leo processed what his ex-wife had said and turned to face Larissa and Wyatt.

"Well son, who is she?" Leo asked his son sounding irritated and even a bit angry. She thought that was strange, wasn't elders supposed to be peace loving optimists who didn't get angry? She dismissed the thought when she felt Wyatt's eyes on her. She quickly glanced back at him, she felt a stab of sympathy for him, she had put him in this mess and hadn't yet spoken up. She cleared her throat.

"Leo?" she spoke softly but with confidence. "Your son helped me when I got into a bit of demon trouble, I had nowhere to go so he offered to bring me so I was safe just until I figured out where I can go" She spoke the truth even if Wyatt didn't know it. She watched as the sisters, Leo and the boy glanced at each other wondering if they should trust her. An awkward silence filled the room as they all stared at her trying to figure her out. It was the boy with dark hair that broke the silence.

"Way to go bro, talk about sweeping a girl of her feet." The boy said as he smacked Wyatt on his back. The boy turned to me with a goofy smile on his face, she couldn't help it she had to smile back." Hey, well considering everyone's lost the ability to speak, I'll start the introductions. Hi my names Chris Halliwell, I'm Wy's brother." She shook the hand he held out whilst still grinning like an idiot, she felt at ease around Chris and his had one infectious smile. She had a chance to properly look at Chris now, he was skinnier than his brother but just as tall considering her was younger, he had vibrant green eyes that hypnotized you. Chris's words seem to snap everyone out of their thoughts.

"Well you now know my sons, I'm piper Halliwell, these are my sisters Phoebe and Paige Halliwell and this is Leo Wyatt" Piper spoke in a wary voice. Piper was watching her, her hands twitched as if waiting for an attack, Larissa knew that if she even breathed the wrong way Piper would attempt to blow her up. She says attempt because she could easily defect it.

"I know who you are, how could anyone not know the Charmed Ones, you're like god damned royalty. Anyway my names Larissa Cuno" she spoke with a steady voice easily hiding the emotions that were battling inside her.

"Cuno. As in Luna Cuno's daughter?" Asked Leo slightly awed. Her mother had mentioned Leo and said they had been friends, before he became an elder of course she hated them, wasn't too fond of whitelighter either after what a certain bastard did to her. She simply nodded; she knew that he was coming to the right conclusion. He of all people should know her mother would never leave her unprotected. "She's dead?" Leo asked she could barely hear him he was talking that quietly. She nodded again and let a few tears slip from her eyes not being able to contain them any longer. From the corner of her eye she saw Phoebe take a hesitant step toward her, her face full of sympathy and her eyes full of worry that was when the force of the day fully hit her and she collapsed to the floor letting a choked sob escape from her mouth. She felt delicate arms wrap around her. She looked up to see she was in Phoebe's arms and the other sisters looking at her with pity and sympathy.

"Chris honey, do you mind putting some sheets on the bed in the spare bedroom" Chris nodded and ran off to do what his mother asked. She looked up into Pipers eyes and in a pained voice whispered "Thank you" She let her head drop to Phoebe's shoulder and let herself feel comforted as Phoebe's hand stroked her hair. She knew tomorrow she would hated herself for being so weak but she had just lost her mother, her best friend she deserved to be a bit weak. She felt blackness enfold her and she succumbed to sleep, the last thing she felt were a strong pair of arms lift her up and began to carry her towards the stairs.

That was the day her whole life changed. The next couple of months after that were hectic. Her mother's body had been found and they had tracked her down, Phoebe had fought against the court that they could provide for her until she turned eighteen. She had nearly cried for joy the day that the court agreed and she moved in with the Halliwell's making the spare bedroom her room. She didn't want to be adopted so they simply fostered her. She was happy with that because they treated her like family, like she belonged and each day she grew closer to the brothers but mostly Wyatt. Chris was like a goofy friend that could always make her laugh, but with Wy he was her best friend she admitted she fancied the fuck out of him but it was never awkward any time either of them had stuff to talk about they would always be there for each other. Both the brothers turned to her when they needed to talk, when their mother had been killed they turned to her for comfort, when their cousins were annoying them they would turn to her to save them or when Chris became depressed because his father continued to ignore him and constantly let him down. She was there rock just as her mother had been hers and she honestly didn't mind she loved being close to them.

With Wyatt it was complicated they both knew that they were completely in love with one another but they didn't know how to properly progress. They had a couple of spontaneous kisses and a couple of nights when he would sneak into her room and they would talk for hours then finally she would fall asleep in his arms. They needed her just as much as she needed them. Phoebe had treated her like a daughter more than any of the sisters, Phoebe had always dreamed of having kids and when Larissa moved in with them she lavished her buying her new clothes, making sure she always had everything she needed and helping her with her powers. Leo had told them of the power she possessed but she assured them she could control it she just got them days sometimes where it would overwhelm her, but on those days Wyatt would turn of her alarm clock so they didn't go school and they spent the whole day goofing of making sure her mid was occupied. Her life even with the ups and downs and the deaths and demons that threatened was turning out to be pretty good, she had Chris and Wyatt that's all she needed, but she should know in her life nothing ever stays happy. She could see him changing, he grew out his hair, his eyes would take on a colder shade of blue and he would visit the underworld a lot. She talked to Chris about it and he had noticed it to, they couldn't do anything, no one listened, no one helped. She had to watch as the boy she loved slowly slipped into darkness and she could do fuck all about it, but no matter what she thought,not even in her wildest dreams would ever match the reality. It was the night of his eightieth birthday, she had not long turned seventeen and Chris was sixteen, it was that night when he unleashed hell and destroyed their happiness.
