Little Witch
Chapter Four
Pippa had been trying really hard to ignore the blonde guy trying to talk to her.
Piper had introduced him as her son Wyatt - Pippa's cousin - and he'd been trying like hell to talk to her. Eventually he got the message and left her alone to talk to her mom. No, she reminded herself. He's talking to my aunt. Not my mom. My mom's Prue Halliwell, not Paige Matthews. It was hard thinking that since Paige Matthews had been Pippa's mother for the past sixteen years, but she did it.
While Wyatt was talking to Paige, Pheobe came up to Pippa. "Hi, Pippa," she said.
"Hey Phoebe."
"Um...how are you?"
"Good, I guess..."
"What's your favorite color?"
Pippa raised an eyebrow. Phoebe was trying the same thing that Wyatt had tried before. "Look, you don't have to be nice to me just because I'm Prue's daughter. Wyatt's more your nephew then I am your niece, just like Paige is more my mom then Prue is. Besides, you should probably hate me. My dad's Cole Turner, right? The guy you love? And he had a kid with Prue. I'm the result, so..."
"I understand that, but seeing as you're my niece anyways, I figure I may as well try to get to know you. And I'm not going to blame you for their betrayal."
Pippa cracked a small smile and started to talk with Phoebe. She got to know her aunt and her aunt got to know her. They's been talking for about an hour or so when the guy Leo - Wyatt's dad, Pippa had been told - orbed into the room. He called Prue, saying the Elders had summoned her. Pippa stiffened. Uh-oh, she thought. The Elders are summoning her. That's never a good sign.
After another hour of talking to Phoebe about the Halliwell family and history, Leo returned - but Prue was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Prue?" Piper asked, walking over to Leo. Leo looked like he'd just seen a ghost, his face very pale and his eyes looked empty. "She...she..." He gulped, trying to gain a semblance of composure.
"Dad," Wyatt insisted. "Where's Aunt Prue?"
"The Elders killed her." Leo sounded dead. "They killed her for having a relationship with a demon and unleashing a half-demon, half-Halliwell child onto the world. And they sentenced the remaining Charmed Ones to find and destroy Cole because he committed the same crime."
