Secrets and Whitelighters
What is life like when you're related to a Charmed One, your ex-boyfriend is a Darklighter and your father was an Elder? Well, enter Jessica Wilder's life.
Ok…this story is set after Show Ghouls. The Elders have allowed Leo to become a Whitelighter again because he helped save the world from Utopia.
Disclaimer: Charmed is not mine. Blah blah. You know the drill. Jessica is, however, my made up character.
ON WITH THE STORY!
The door to the Halliwell manor flew open as Paige walked into the house carrying two bags of groceries.
"Piper, the next time you ask me to go shopping with you remind me to say 'no'. We go in for five items and come out with half the store!" Paige said to her sister as she and Piper dropped the bags on the kitchen table.
"Well, we needed some of these spices so I got them. You know what, forget it. I just won't go shopping next time. You or Phoebe can do it." Piper glanced at Paige with a grin.
There was a sudden crash in the living room. Both sisters looked at each other and ran to where the crash was. There they saw a demon forming an energy ball, hurling it right at Phoebe (she was already in the room). Piper flicked her wrists, freezing the energy ball a few inches away from Phoebe's face.
"Wow. Next time Piper, freeze quicker." Phoebe said before moving away from the energy ball and standing next to Piper and Paige.
"Well, next time why don't you duck quicker?" Piper countered.
"So, guess what we do now, we blow him up! I'm not looking forward to cleaning up afterwards." Paige said with sarcasm. Piper flicked her wrists again, unfreezing the demon. She was about to blow him up when he sent an energy ball flying at Paige. The demon hit his target, but was the blown up by Piper. Paige fell to the floor, her hand over her stomach where she had gotten hit. Piper and Phoebe crouched down beside her.
"Leo," Piper called, with no answer. "Leo get your ass down here now!" Piper yelled. A swirl of orbs appeared behind Piper and Phoebe.
"Leo, finally. Heal Paige now." Piper said putting emphasis on the word now. Phoebe looked up to see the person who orbed in wasn't Leo.
"Uh, Piper that isn't Leo." Phoebe said to Piper. Piper looked over her shoulder only to find a young woman, only about 18 years old, with dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. Piper could tell the girl had a nice figure since she was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white tank top.
"Who the hell are you?" Piper questioned.
"I'll explain later. I have to heal your sister" The young woman said. She kneeled down next to Paige and held her hands over Paige's wound. A gold light started to form under her hands and Paige's wound disappeared. There was no evidence of her ever getting hurt.
"Thanks, whoever you are" Paige thanked the woman.
"My name is Jessica." The woman said. The four females stood up. Piper, Phoebe and Paige looked at Jessica; all three having questions to ask. Phoebe was about to say something when Leo orbed in the room.
"Leo, where have you been? And why didn't you come when I called?" Piper asked looking at Leo.
"Sorry, I was with the Elders." Leo said. He then realized Jessica standing beside Paige. He stared at her, and Jessica stared at him. Both of them discussing something through staring at each other.
"Leo, what's going on? Why did Jessica heal me? Not that I'm complaining or anything" Paige asked the question which was on her sisters minds as well.
"Should you tell them or should I?" Jessica asked Leo.
"Jessica had to heal you because the Elders told me to send her. I have been given the luxury of guiding Jess to becoming a Whitelighter. They wanted to see how she would react on her own. She'll be with me, or rather us, until the Elders think she is ready to have a charge." Leo explained.
"Wait, hold up. Let me get this straight. She's a Whitelighter. Does that mean you died at a young age? And she's staying here with us for who knows how long?" Piper asked. She was curious. Who wouldn't be? Having some person you don't know living in your house.
"Yea, you got a problem with that?" Jessica was looking at Piper when she asked the question.
"Piper, she has to stay with us. She doesn't have a place to stay. There's too much at risk if she is by herself. Jessica, do you want to explain everything to them. Or should I?" It was Leo who asked that question this time.
"No, I'll explain." Jessica said. She sat down in a chair while the other four sat on the couch. "My name is Jessica Wilder. I'm 18 years old and I haven't died, yet."
"Your last name is Wilder?" Paige interrupted. "Are you related to my father Sam, or me?"
"Yea. I guess. But don't worry; I'm not your sister. My dad is Sam's brother." Jessica replied.
"So you're like, my cousin. But how do you have Whitelighter powers if you haven't died? " Paige said. Why did I ask that? I have Whitelighter powers and I haven't died Paige thought.
"Well, see. My father was a Whitelighter. He fell in love with his charge. Funny how that keeps happening huh? Anyway, so he fell in love with her and without the Elders knowing, I was soon born. Five months ago though, a Darklighter attacked my father. I wasn't there at the time; I was at school because I had band practice. My mother wasn't too fond of me being in the band at school. Paige, you're my only other living relative." Jessica explained.
"What happened to your mother?" Piper suddenly took interest in the young lady.
"She got attacked by a demon about a year ago. She died instantly." The four women sat silently for a few moments. The Charmed Ones remembering their mother while Jessica was remembering hers.
"Jessica, what are your powers and why are you becoming a Whitelighter if you're half witch?" Phoebe finally spoke up after the silence.
"It's funny you ask that. Demon fighting's not really for me. For some unknown reason, I feel like my whitelighter half is more dominant. I asked Them if they knew anything but they always tried to avoid the subject. The Elders said I would find out when I was supposed too, whatever that means. I have two major differences than normal Whitelighters. 1) I can create these things that are like 'orb balls'. They look like small orbs in the form of, well, a ball a little bigger than a baseball. And 2) I have telekinetic orbing like you Paige."
Suddenly a demon shimmered in behind everyone sitting on the couch (which is Leo, Piper, Phoebe and Paige). They all turned around only to see the demon forming a fire ball in his hand. He hurled it at the Charmed Ones. Paige grabbed Phoebe and Piper since she was in the middle and orbed them out while Leo orbed himself out. The fire ball missed them, but head straight for Jess.
"Fire ball" Jessica called as she lifted her hands. The fire ball turned into a ball of orbs and was sent back to the demon. He was hit and exploded.
"What is it with these demons? Isn't one a day enough?" Phoebe exclaimed in frustration. Jessica's head jerked to the right side.
"What is it Jess? Are you alright?" Paige asked.
"Yea, I'm fine. Someone's calling me. I'll be right back okay." Jessica then orbed out of the room without another word.
Jessica orbed into an apartment room that wasn't very clean. There were clothes everywhere and some mystery substance on the walls.
"What do you want" Jessica asked harshly to the man who was sitting on the some what torn couch.
"I want you to give me another chance. I know how you feel about me. You told me many times." He spoke. The man had a toned body, brownish-black eyes and dark brown hair with very dark blue, almost black, streaks.
"People often say things they don't mean."
"Come on now, you don't really mean that. I know you better than that."
"Don't give me that Duncan. We both know we don't have anything anymore."
"Yes we do Jess. I see it in your eyes. You know you miss me and you want to be with me."
"Duncan shut up. I've had it with you. I can't be with you. No matter how much I ever loved you, things changed between us after-"
"After I told you." Duncan finished her sentence. "I never meant for this to happen. Jess, I love you."
"No, you don't. After you told me, it took a long time to figure out what to do because I didn't know how I felt. I would lie in bed and think of what would happen if we were together any longer. I could be sleeping and all of a sudden you could kill me."
"I would never hurt you Jess. You have to believe me"
"I can't though. You can't change what's in your blood. Or what you have become. Do me a favour Duncan and just leave me alone"
"I can't do that Jess. Nothing will ever change the way I feel about you"
"Duncan, I have to go. Their probably worried about me"
"Whose they?"
"None of your business." With that, Jess orbed out of the apartment.
Wasn't that interesting? lol. I don't know about you, but I would sure like a review. Hey, that rhymed, sort of. Haha. Tell me what you think. I really want to know. I'll have the second chapter up soon.
