Chapter : Vision Quest
"Bella, look out," a velvety voice called out to me.
I turned around just in time to see a demon throwing a fireball at me. I doge it, while doing a cartwheel to my left, narrowly avoiding it, but it singed the sleeve of my favorite hoodie. I looked to the demon responsible of the burn mark in my hoodie and shot him a look of annoyance.
"Do you know how much a designer hoodie cost these days? You JERK!"
I started to run toward him and projected the thought of me forming a fireball in my hand. I could feel the heat and flames flicker, and lick my hands in a burning yet cooling way and I looked down to my palm and saw a fireball dancing in my hand. I lifted my arm to pitch the fireball at the demon and just as I was about to throw the fireball something, or someone, grabbed my wrist backed held my arm from throwing the fireball.
The demon took its queue to leave and disappeared in black smoke. I turned my head to see who was holding me back and give theme a piece of my mind. And what I sight I saw. The person was a boy, more like a man. He had copper hair tousled across his head. He had warm liquefied topaz eyes with specks of a green emerald in them. He held my arm tight and lowered it and pulled me to him into a tight embrace.
"Don't do that again Bella. I thought I lost you. Again."
This man did not fully realize that I could kick his ass. I mean come on; I was the granddaughter to Penny Halliwell. I am one of the descendents of Melinda Warren. I can do anything.
Just as I opened my mouth to say something, the boy smashed his mouth to mine. The kiss was soft, but urgent. It was if he was trying to say goodbye in this kiss.
"Isabella Halliwell."
I turned my head to see who had called me and interrupted my kiss with the young god in front of me. And I wished I hadn't.
Darkness and black smoke entered the room and a man stood there with a dark cloak on. He pointed his bony finger at me.
"It is time."
"BELLA!"
I awoke from my dream, or vision quest to be more accurate. I looked around my surroundings and notice that I was in the attic of the manor that I still shared with one of my sisters and her family. I looked up from my sitting position and in front of me to see seven people staring at me.
The first person I focused on was my eldest sister Piper and her husband Leo. Then I looked over to my next older sister Phoebe and her husband Coop. Then I looked to my last sister Paige and her husband Henry. Finally I looked to the last person, the young gypsy girl, Carina who was helping me with the vision quest.
I live with my oldest sister and my brother-in-law Piper and Leo Halliwell-Wyatt. We also live with their two sons Wyatt and Chris and new baby daughter Melinda.
There isn't much about me except that I'm an ex-figure skater, play the guitar and piano and I'm also a really good mechanic. Oh, I'm also a witch. Yes, I'm a Wicca witch. My family and I are really the most powerful witches in the world. We're good witches so don't worry. I'm not some green face, or wart nose ugly witch. I have no wands, warts, or broomsticks, and I do not cackle at the moon. They say, "Good Magic respects us and Demons fear us.
I don't think I introduced myself.

My name is Pandora Isabella Marie Halliwell, but I prefer Bella from Isabella. It was tradition on my mom's side of the family to name your children beginning something with a P.
When I was born my Grams was so fed up with all the P names she told my mom she was going to call me something else. And she did. When the nurse, who had just came from Italy, called me 'Bella' Grams turned to mom and said Isabella would be my name. And Grams always got her way.
Marie was just the different form of Mary that my mom chose because that was the name of my father's wife before she died. You see my father Jonathan Winchester is a Hunter. Not the type who kill animals either. He's a Hunter who kills he supernatural races.
Like witches. Just like me.
He hates me, because I'm a witch. Well that's what I assume because when I was 7 I saw a man yelling at Grams telling her he wasn't going to let 'her damn me.' And if she did urn me into a monster that he would never come back for me and if I ever met him or his sons on the street don't expect him not to kill it. And the worst thing about it was that I thought he was talking about my bunny, Cookie.
Yeah that's how my sister Phoebe found us in the living room with Grams holding tears in her eyes staring at Jonathan while I held on to his legs begging him not to kill Cookie and that I wouldn't take the neighbors carrots to feed him. And Jonathan doing nothing but looking at me like I was the puppy with no home.
"Well, did it work?"
Leave it to Piper to get straight to the point.
I looked past Piper to my very pregnant sister Phoebe and Coop. They fit together like a puzzle. I trusted Phoebe with many things and she knew that, but she failed to mention that my arm would suffer from a 180-degree burn mark. And my sleeve would have a burn hole in it too.
"You didn't tell me it was going to hurt."
I knew I was annoying Piper by totally ignoring her. But I was pretty pissed at Phoebe for not telling me I was going to get hurt.
"I said that you might get hurt," Phoebe retorted back.
"Well some physics you are." I grimaced as the young 16-year-old gypsy Carina attended to my burn mark on my right shoulder. But there was no need for remedies as my mark fully healed in seconds. I grinned in spite of myself. You just had to love magic.
"So what did you see?"
I turned my head to see Paige who, was silent until now and holding her youngest twin sleeping newborn in her arms broke the silence. I sighed frustrated. I honestly didn't want to tell them about the boy. Only though because my sisters would make a big deal about it. I decided I would tell them the half-truth even though I knew I had to tell them the truth sooner or later.
"I saw the same thing I saw last time, and what Phoebe saw in her premonition. Big scary demons, projection fireballs, smoke, and evil old guys. The whole works."
I saw most of my sister and their men tense at the thought of a new evil uprising. I hated it too. I heard a sigh from Leo, my favorite brother-in-law. Leo was more than my sister's husband. Leo was like my older brother, best friend, and I held a fatherly hold for him. Leo actually was not always mortal. He used to be a white-lighter, which is like a guardian angel to good witches and future white-lighters.
They helped guide us to help the innocent people in the world. Leo was a paramedic who died in WWII for saving soldiers lives and The Elders, who are like the counsel for good magic, realized the good he had done and gave him the choice to help more people in the world.
Leo gave being a white-lighter up so he could be with Piper because it was against the rules for witches and white-lighters to be together. Coop was a cupid but because of all the hard work and everything we had given up the Elders gave Phoebe a chance at real love and it worked. Henry was a mortal but Paige loved him no less.
Paige was actually half white-lighter half witch herself. She was the first hybrid in the family. Which she hated when we made fun of her for it. Our mother Patty Halliwell fell in love with her white-lighter Sam and they had Paige but gave her up to protect her.
"So what are we going to do?"
I looked over to my brother-in-law Henry, whom was holding the older twin sister who was awake in his arms. Henry was a parolee officer, which is where Paige and him met. Henry's parolee was Paige's white-lighter charge. Henry and I got along really well when it came to sports. He was also very protective of Paige and their twin daughters, Pandora and Pamela who were at least a few months old.
"We could just wing it. Let the chips fall where they may. See what happens. Things happen for reason-."
"Ok, Coop we get it. We'll let evil come after us like always. No big deal or pressure. Just the way I like it"
Piper was also the sarcasm queen.
I rolled my eyes at Coop and Piper's banter. I sort of agreed with Coop. We need too see how things would turn out. Although Piper had a good point. Why give a demon a chance to kick our butts when where not expecting?
But really, I was nervous about the fireball I projected. I mean I just gotten Projection two days ago. I mean I haven't even mastered Projection as a power yet for crying out loud! I had always had two basic powers before. Force Fields and Mind Shields. Basically I had a physical shield from physical attacks like telekinesis or fireballs. My mind shield stopped mental attacks like telepathy or suggestion.
Piper had the gift of Molecular Immobilization, is the magical ability to slow down the molecules of an object to the point where they stop moving completely, therefore 'freezing' the object. And she also had Molecular Combustion is the power to give molecules more energy until the point of explosion. This happens rather quickly, and results with the bonds of the molecules breaking.
Phoebe had the gift of Premonition is the ability to see the past, present and the future in various ways. She also has Levitation which is the power to magically propel yourself into the air without the use of tools or assistance from another person or being. Her final power is Empathy which is the magical ability to experience the emotions of others without direct contact with them, as if they were actually feeling what one was feeling and for the same reasons. Empathy can drive anyone crazy if they were not meant to receive or control it.
Paige's powers include Orbing is the ability to transport yourself with orbs. She also has Telekinetic orbing which is a combination of the orbing and telekinesis powers. She also can heal people, can glamour, sense, cloak, and can speak every language.
I noticed Phoebe looking at me with a-know-it-all-look on her face. I ducked my face and let my hair make a curtain between us. I glanced up when Piper stood up and clapped her hands loudly together.
"OK! Evil is rising again. No biggie we dealt with this before. If I need to remind everybody we all have things to do. Leo I need you to check out he club for me if you will, please. Paige you have a hospital appointment for the twins and you and Henry will be late if you don't go now. Phoebe you and Coop have to go over last details for my niece's room. I have to go check out the restaurant and see how everything is. And Bella you have to get ready for tomorrow. Also can you pick up Wyatt and Chris from school tomorrow?"
I sighed; Piper knew I would do anything for my older sister. "Of course Piper. I'll pick them up, anything for my favorite nephews."
Leo went up and stood behind Piper, who both gave me a warm smile and mumbled a "thank you" before leaving the attic and being followed out by everyone else. I walked over The Book of Shadows.
A Book of Shadows is a witches grimoire, or magic book. in addition to spells and potion recipes, a Book of Shadows contains information on warlocks, demons, and other supernatural beings. Important or powerful individuals have their own entries, which typically include specific vanquishing spells.
Our Book of Shadows, which we call The Book of Shadows has been in our family for centuries. I began looking through the book to see if I had missed anything on the gift of projection. I hadn't.
I was really tired so I jumped in the shower and got ready for bed. I walked in my room and got into my warm bed. The aroma of strawberries filled the room and I smiled gingerly. I reached over and grabbed my ipod from my bedside table and turned on Debussy and let Clair de Lune play in my ears.
Tomorrow would be an eventful day.
Tomorrow I would join Forks High School. Fun!
