Chapter 2: New School:
"Good morning," sang Piper Halliwell as she entered the kitchen. Prue, Phoebe and Paige were gathered around the kitchen table, Leo and Coop sat on the stools surrounding the counters, and Posie was making breakfast.
"Chipper much?" asked Prue sipping her coffee. Phoebe and Paige snickered while Leo got up and gave his wife a kiss. Posie finished making the seven plates of breakfast and handed them to everyone. She also got her coffee and sat down.
"Isn't it Chef Piper's job to cook?" asked Phoebe with a laugh. Piper flicked her hand and as soon as Phoebe came to drink her coffee, it turned into a piece of frozen bacon. "Hey," she yelled. Piper snickered and turned it back.
"I can't believe Piper used her powers for personal gain. It's about time," said Posie giving her sister, Paige a high five. Out of all five sisters, Piper and Prue were the ones that never used their powers for personal gain. Although Piper does use it for little things like stopping someone from falling or freezing plates and utensils from shattering, but that isn't counted as personal gain. Prue also uses her powers for little things like closing doors or levitating her coffee to her mouth. The other three use their powers every chance they get like Phoebe casting a smart spell to land a job, or Posie giving her old high school's enemy bad luck, or when Paige orbed her old boyfriend to jail when he got her mad. Posie, unlike Phoebe or Paige, only uses her powers for personal gain when aggravated. Their personal gain escapades could sometimes be hilarious.
"Very funny," replied Piper.
"You gotta admit it is," replied Coop not taking his eyes off the paper. Leo laughed. He looked at the watch and got up.
"I have to go," he said. "The hospital is expecting me early." He gave Piper a kiss and began to walk out. "Have fun at school," he called after his shoulder.
"It's not called school. It's called underworld," Paige called after him. He laughed.
"You'll survive," he said before they saw a bright light emanating from the other room.
"We could probably teach the entire school," suggested Posie. They all laughed. She glanced at her watch. "We should probably go, don't want to get suspended on our first day." Paige snickered, got up, grabbed two granola bars and her bag while Posie grabbed hers and ran into the car.
"Can I drive?" asked Paige. Posie glared at her. She didn't let anyone drive her car unless it was an emergency. Paige snickered and got into the passenger side. Posie started the car and they drove off. Paige opened her granola bar and threw Posie hers. She caught it with ease and began eating.
"So do you think we'll make new friends?" asked Posie. Paige snorted.
"Of course we will. Have you ever heard of two incredibly hot girls not making friends?" Posie laughed and took another bite of her granola bar. "Wow, this car is fast," exclaimed Paige.
"I'll tell Leo your complement," she said. Leo liked to work on cars so he upgraded the Halliwells' cars anytime he could.
"So," said Paige. "How do we get Edward to fall in love with Stella?"
"It's Bella and I have absolutely no idea," she answered. Their phones rang and it was a text from Phoebe.
No need to try anything. I saw Edward sit with her at lunch today and she's going to figure out his secret sooner than you think. Also watch out for stuck up snobs like Lauren Mallory or puppies like Mike Newton. Jessica Stanley will only sit with u for popularity. Angela Webber is a nice girl. Befriend her if you want.
"Great," said Paige after reading the text out loud. "Phoebe's playing Matchmaker."
"Well," said Posie. "We're going to have to play matchmaker too."
"Yay," cheered Paige sarcastically. "At least she told us who's who." Posie laughed and she and Paige dumped her Granola bar wrappers in the ash tray. They pulled up in the school parking lot and got out of the car. They only noticed a red Chevy truck, a silver Volvo, and a few other cars that they paid no attention to. They saw a young girl about 17 standing near the truck. She had brunette hair and brown eyes. Surrounding the Volvo were five people, three boys and two girls, the Cullens. Paige and Posie looked back at the brunette girl. Edward, the one with the bronze hair, was watching her intently.
"Bella," whispered Paige. The Cullens' heads all shot up to stare at them. Posie glared at Paige and moved her head to the left side and down indicating super hearing. "Whoops," she regretted. Alice saw them and waved. She quickly bounced over to them.
"Hi, girls," she said.
"Hey," they replied simultaneously. Alice was followed by the blond boy named Jasper. He looked like he was in pain, but smelling the sisters blood made him relax a little.
"Are you looking for the office?" asked Alice.
"Yes," answered Paige.
"I'll show you," she cheered. The sisters glanced back and saw Edward confused, Emmett grinning, and Rosalie glaring like there was no tomorrow to glare in. She must think we're humans, thought Paige to herself. Jasper was worried about Alice. Everything about the two new girls screamed danger. His instincts told him to grab Alice run and not look back, but that would upset Alice. She always wanted another friend other than Rosalie. They went into the office and got their schedules. They went to their lockers and they compared schedules.
"We've got the same classes," said Paige. They looked around but only a few students had arrived. "We need to listen in on the vampires and Bella."
"Super hearing spell?" asked Posie.
"Super hearing spell," agreed Paige. They looked around and saw no one.
"Some people are a gem, some people are a rat,
To learn who's who, give us the ears of a bat."
They suddenly heard everything. They looked down at their schedules and saw that they had English first. They went to the English room and sat down on a table in the back. They took their books out. They started listening in on the Cullens.
"Why did you talk to them?" asked a girl, Rosalie.
"Because they seem nice," said Alice.
"We don't interact with humans," she screeched again.
"They're not regular humans," said Edward.
"You got that right," snorted Paige.
"Did you hear that?" asked Jasper. "The girl, Paige, said 'You got that right.' like she was answering Edward's question."
Posie took out a piece of paper and wrote on it.
"Good going," she wrote. Paige grabbed the pen and wrote back. "Sorry, I have a big mouth." Posie snickered and answered. "No arguments here," They went back to listening in on the Cullens.
"Yes," answered Emmett. "Maybe they're vampires?"
"If only he knew about us," wrote Paige.
"Edward," said Emmett. "Can you read their minds?"
"No," he sighed. "I tried, but it's a complete blank, just like Bella."
"What?" screeched Rosalie again, but too low for humans to hear. "They could be a threat. We have to eliminate them."
"I'd like to see you try," whispered Posie low enough for Paige and the Cullens to hear her. Paige snickered.
"See," said Jasper. "The other girl whispered 'I'd like to see you try,' in response to Rose's threat, like she could hear it, and her sister laughed. They are definitely not human."
"We should consult with Carlisle first," said Alice. "See if he knows anything. And if he doesn't we should confront the Halliwells later."
Posie's phone vibrated and it showed a text from Phoebe.
Don't worry, he won't know anything about us, but he'll be too afraid to risk his family coming without back up.
I've seen it.
The bell rang and their classes went by in a hurry. As Phoebe had predicted, they were shot at with questions. Several people asked to them to sit at their table during lunch, but the sisters politely declined saying they were going to sit together. They got to the lunch room and went to check out the food. Posie got a tray and put a bottle of root beer and a turkey sandwich while Paige put a bottle of coke and two slices of pizza on hers. They paid for their lunch and sat down at an empty table. The sisters started eating, but they wanted nothing more than to gag at the taste of it. All their old schools had horrible food but this was pushing it to the limit. Piper had offered to pack them a lunch, but they said that they would try the cafeteria's food first. Being witches, they didn't eat much. They only ate the food they made at home actually. It was because they had grown to love Piper's cooking, so they didn't eat other than at her house, and since they were witches they didn't need to eat as often as humans did. It helped them blend in better if they ate something small at the very least. They looked and saw the Cullens glaring at them, except Alice. She looked confused. It was probably because she couldn't see them in her visions. They looked and saw Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, and Emmett were the only ones sitting on the table. Edward wasn't with them. They scanned the cafeteria and saw him sitting in a table on his own. They heard Bella's voice and saw her enter the cafeteria with the girl named Jessica. They zoned out for a minute. As soon as the sisters returned back to earth, they noticed Bella sitting with Edward. Paige snickered while Posie let out a wide grin.
This may be the start of something incredible, thought Posie.
Three months later:
The Halliwell house hold was now bustling with activity. Piper and Prue had hit it off with their jobs, Coop and Leo got raises, Phoebe graduated college, Posie became a senior in high school, and Paige had become a junior. Bella now knew the Cullens' secret, and she spent all her time with them. A month ago, Edward took Bella to a baseball game and three nomadic vampires caught her scent. It was a chase and a hunt. The vampire chased her to Phoenix while his mate caught distracted Rosalie and Esme. The last one left to join the Denali Coven, another group of vegetarian vampires. After hearing Phoebe's vision, Paige, Prue and Posie almost went after the vampire to kill him. They would have gone to if the Elders hadn't told Leo that it was the Cullens' problem and that they had a major role somewhere else. When they came back, Bella had cuts and stiches and a broken leg. When Paige saw her in school, Posie had to drag her out of the building because she was about to rip Edward's throat out for being stupid and taking her to his family's baseball game where the nomad's caught her scent. They both felt very protective of Bella and viewed her as their little sister. Even though they never spoke to her, they had to protect her because she was their innocent. That same night, Leo orbed into her room with Piper. As soon as they saw Edward, who was sitting in her rocking chair, Piper froze the room. Leo went over to Bella and healed her cuts, bruises and stiches. He healed her broken leg a little as to not cause suspicion to her miraculous recovery. As soon as he was done, they orbed out. When they did, time returned to normal. They were lucky that vampires can't smell witches or whitelighters.
