IT'S BEEN A WEEK since I've stayed with the Halliwell's and I have learned a lot about them. I have been surprised by their kindness, their lives were a completely mess (Their words, not mine) before I came to their lives but they still welcomed me to their home with open arms.

They shared with me the story of how they became witches and how they met Paige, their half-sister which helped me understand a little of why her aura (that's what I'm gonna call the glow around them) was different from her sisters

They also shared with me their problems after realizing I was trust worthy to know. I was told about Phobe's dead unborn baby a few days before they found me. She had been looking into their Book of Shadows for a way to know for sure how to get rid of the new Source of Evil (I didn't ask) when she came across an entry of the Guardian. She also had been hearing the voice of her dead Ex-husband. She claimed it to hear it in whispers which made her crazy and nervous as to why and how he was contacting her.

Piper also was dealing with her own problems. She was struggling with the idea she couldn't conceive, that she couldn't be a mother.

They had enough in their lives but they still accepted to help a newbie Guardian/white-lighter whom has to be protected as of magic were safe.

I was grateful.

Living alone in a crappy apartment was not life at all. Having to leave my father to protect him was all I cared about. I didn't want him to end up as my mother.

Paige took care of my 'education'. She was helping me to use my powers, my white-lighter ones but by some reason, those weren't working. My Guardian powers weren't working either but I don't worry about those because I have no idea what those are and how to trigger them. What I did know about them is that I could feel the power coming from the sisters and their house. It was hard sensing my powers at my reach but frustrating to not know how to tap into any of them. I felt powerless. And that sucked.

I was in the living room reading a fairytale book while Piper, Paige and Leo, Piper's husband were talking.

I had met Leo the same day I came to live with them. Leo is a white-lighter as well and a very nice and wise one. He immediately acted nice and warm towards me and accepted as well that I had to live with the sisters. Unlike Sally, Leo didn't want me here because of wanting to protect my powers but me. He somehow didn't care about my powers but my well-being which was nice. I liked him.

Leo was holding a picture frame in his hands as he tried to hang it in the wall with Piper's instructions. The road workers outside the manor were making a lot of noise making me scrunch my nose in annoyance wanting to shut them up already.

Paige sighed from where she stood on the window looking towards them in annoyance

"Did they say how much longer this was gonna go on for?" Paige asked looking over her shoulder at us while holding the curtain in one hand

"Three weeks, which means three months" Piper said rolling her eyes as she looked at Leo as he moved the picture frame on the wall "A little higher" she instructed her husband. I took a sip of an orange juice flipping a page of the Sleeping Beauty.

"We'd better hope no demons attack. That'd be a bust, especially if one of us goes flying out the window" Paige said scoffing at the last

"I wouldn't worry about that too much, there's so much chaos in the underworld they're too busy fighting each other" Leo told her reassuringly

"Well, I hope it lasts. I almost forgot what it's like to lead a normal life" Paige sighed. She tilted her head at Leo "It's gotta go a little higher" She told him

"I need a ladder" Leo sighed lowering the picture frame

"Leo, just hover" Paige told him rolling her eyes

Piper shook her head "No, no, no, I don't wanna jinx anything, I'd rather we not use magic unless we absolutely have to, thank you very much"

I chuckled shaking my head

"Come on, Piper, relax a little. Use it or lose it, lady" Paige told her in amusement

Leo hovered up and held the picture against the wall

"Fine" Piper sighed in defeat as Leo marked the wall with a pencil. He hovered back down

"Ah, see, no major disaster struck" Paige told her smugly, I almost laughed out loud by their interactions if it weren't for Phoebe walking through the front door with a panicked, calm controlled expression

"We have a huge problem" She told us biting her lip

I furrowed my eyebrows and slowly lowered my book to my lap remembering the page and I closed it

"You were saying?" Piper shot Paige a look

"Cole tried contacting me again" Phoebe sighed siting down next to me. I straightened up hugging my legs to my chest to give her space and I raised my eyebrows

"Creepy, dead ex-husband?" I asked, she looked at me a warily but nodded slowly, "Wow, what a stalker" I mumbled under my breath

Leo walked to her "What, more whisperings?" he asked softly

"No, this time he was channelling through a TV psychic while I was at work. He sounded so desperate" Phoebe explained

"Wait, did anybody else notice?" Piper asked in alarm

"My highly suspicious assistant. How am I supposed to move on with my life when I keep being haunted by his afterlife?" Phoebe sighed in exasperation throwing her head back into the coach

"Leo, what do you think?" Piper asked her husband, her concerned eyes moving momentarily away from her sister towards Leo

"I think you need to do something fast" He sighed

"No, I mean, how is he holding on?" Piper corrected her question shaking her head

"I don't know, I guess because he's half demon, it must be some kind of astral plane" he answered the new question

"Well, whatever, we can't risk him contacting me again. I have to figure out a way to get to him and find out what he wants" Phoebe said looking down

"Honey, what he wants is you. I mean, why else would he be hanging on?" Paige told her softly.

Suddenly, I felt myself freeze

~*~

After Kassandra and Leo froze, Phoebe noticed that Kassandra wasn't moving, she looked between her and Leo

"Piper, why is Leo and Kassandra frozen?" Phoebe asked slowly in confusion waving her hand in front of Kassandra's face.

Piper doing the same with Leo, her eyebrows furrowed in concern

"Well, this is very strange" Piper commented tilting her head aside.

Paige looked out the window and noticed all the work men were frozen as well

"Uh, guys, I think you oughta take a look at this" Paige called to her sisters.

Phoebe and Piper walked to her and stood into her sides leaving her in the middle as they watched the frozen scenario "So much for not performing any magic, huh Piper" Paige raised her eyebrow at Piper, tilting her head aside

"Me? I didn't do that, I couldn't freeze all that stuff" Piper defended herself

Suddenly, an elderly man appeared behind them

"But I can" he said calmly folding his arms in front of him. The witches whirled around to face him

"Who are you?" Phoebe asked him. The man smiled

"I'm the Angel of Destiny, and I've come to change yours"
