Charmed: Aari Halliwell
All rights to Aaron Spelling and the other creators of Charmed which we all loved and enjoyed (:
& Thanks to Jason Decade for inspiring me, `Charming the Halliwell's' may have been the best thing I've ever read (:
Chapter 1: Weird Much?
"I don't think you need that much" I said as I grabbed the pig's feet from Chris. He scowled and orbed them back into the cupboard.
"When you're powerless and mortal because of personal gain, don't come running to me asking me to save your life because you can't defend yourself" I said in a singsong voice as I stirred the bubbly green liquid.
"That was hardly personal gain" he said putting his hands around my waist, I laughed and elbowed him gently in the stomach.
"What was that for?" he asked looking hurt.
"For distracting me" I said winking at him as I poured the potion into an empty vial.
We both headed towards the conservatory and I stopped to look in the large mirror that hung on the wall. I was wearing my grass green polo shirt with my khakis and my green converse, my hair was mousy blonde and cut like Edward Cullen's. My eyes were a light shade of a blue and I had a tattoo of a music note behind my right ear.
"Come on then Mr. Vain" Chris said holding out his hand, I happily grabbed it and he orbed us into the attic.
"Finally" Piper said holding her hand out, I passed her the vial and she held close to her face. "Wow, I'm impressed" she continued.
Chris gave me a sly wink and I couldn't help but grin, "So what's the plan?" I asked.
"Aari!" I suddenly heard someone shout from behind us, it was Phoebe; she was walking over to me with her arms open.
"Hey Phoebe" I said as she mildly choked me.
FLASHBACK* "Everyone, this is Aari" Chris said as we walked through the door.
"Boyfriend?" Phoebe asked in shock.
Chris nodded and she, Piper and Paige hugged Chris tightly. "Come on through" Piper said happily.
FLASHBACK*
"Aari!" Chris shouted, I shook my head back to reality, "Sorry, I'm here" I said smiling.
"You two will summon the demon, throw the potion and hopefully that'll be it" Piper said confidently.
Chris and I nodded at each other; we stood by the book and read out the chant to summon to the snake demon.
A large green demon that was at least 7" suddenly appeared in the attic and snarled. It had bright black eyes, rotting yellow fangs and a tongue that was hideous.
Chris attempted to throw the demon back using his telekinesis but the demon barely moved, "Your puny witch powers are useless against me!" he shouted and starting banging his chest.
He began to spit acid towards Phoebe but I pushed her out of the way just in time to deflect it using my deflection power. I directed it back to the demon and he growled as it burned a small portion of his flesh but it hardly did anything.
"Potion" Chris called holding out his hand, once he'd gotten the vial he threw it at the snake demon but nothing happened.
"Mum?" he said in panic turning to Piper.
"Orb, orb, orb" she said frantically grabbing his hand, I reached for Piper's outstretched arm but the demon threw me against the wall.
I groaned in pain and shouted for them to leave me, Phoebe said she'd stay with me and she helped me to my feet.
She levitated into the air and attempted to kick the demon but he grabbed her leg and threw her towards the open window. Phoebe went flying surrounded by broken glass and landed on her back.
"Coop!" I called, he appeared within the second and I pointed to the window, "Phoebe" I called.
As Coop teleported to Phoebe I conjured an athemay, I threw it towards the demon but he caught it. "Fireball" I said holding out my hand, a fireball suddenly appeared in my open palm and I threw it.
It hit him directly in the chest and he went flying backwards, I stood in shock from my power and grew confused.
The snake demon shimmered out and I ran down the stairs to see Phoebe lying on the floor, I was half of the way to her when my head suddenly started to frantically spin. I felt myself fall to the floor and opened my eyes once it had stopped.
I rubbed my forehead and noticed that it was dark outside, "It was just 1 in the afternoon" I said to myself.
I walked over to Coop and Phoebe and noticed that they looked out of sorts too, I called for Wyatt and he quickly healed Phoebe.
"Where've you been?" I asked rudely.
"I was helping a charge. where's mum and dad?"
"Oh right. Chris" I called.
Within a second there were two swirls of orbs, Piper and Melinda appearing from one, Chris and Billie from the other.
"Guys, something has gone wrong" Chris said quickly.
"The world. it's different" Melinda continued.
"I just had this painful spinning feeling, maybe that had something to do with it?" I suggested.
"I think we all got it" Leo said walking through the front door, "The world knows all about magic" he said.
There were several gasps and then Piper approached him, "What do you mean magic's exposed Leo!" she said.
"I don't know but witches, demons even Leprechauns are being hunted, it's all over the news" Leo continued.
Piper opened her mouth to reply but three people suddenly appeared in front of us.
All three of them were Caucasian, one with bright auburn hair and the other with blonde. The other which I assumed was the leader from how the other two stood a few paces behind him looked very old and had grey hair tied into a ponytail.
"Hello Leo" the leader said bowing his head slightly.
"What the hell are you doing here" Phoebe said rudely.
"We are here to tell you about... Utopia" the man replied.
"We tried that remember, didn't work out so well did it?" Piper spat.
"This... isn't your Utopia, it's... theirs" he said, he pointed towards the stairs and 4 people suddenly orbed in.
There were two boys and two girls. Two of them were Caucasian and the other two a light tanned colour, the Caucasian boy and girl seemed to be twins and both had blonde mousy hair. The other tanned boy and girl had straight brunette hair that reached to just above their shoulders.
"Who are you" Wyatt said.
"That isn't any of your concern" one of the boys replied.
Wyatt was about to throw an energy ball but before it appeared Piper grabbed his arm, "We don't know anything about them" she whispered.
"Listen to your mother" the Caucasian girl said, she winked at him and Melinda scoffed.
"We just wanted you to enjoy your last few minutes of living, the witch hunters will be here for you soon" she continued.
"What do you mean?" I asked causing Chris to look at me.
"This is their Utopia" Phoebe said, we all looked at her and she turned to Leo, "Right?"
He nodded and Phoebe sighed, "The Avatars are all about Utopia, they asked us for help and obviously failed so... they switched teams, didn't you" she continued.
The avatar in front sighed and nodded, the three of them teleported out of the living room and we were left staring at the four strangers.
"Seven against four, are you sure you want to take those odd's" Piper said smugly.
"We'll take our chances" the tanned girl said as she exploded a lamp in front of us.
Piper scoffed, "Rookie" she said and hit the girl with her combustive power, the girl flew backwards and the Caucasian boy grew angry.
He telekinetically threw Piper backwards into the grandfather clock and Wyatt threw an energy ball at him. The tanned guy orbed himself and the tanned girl next to him out of the room and Chris, Melinda and Phoebe followed them.
"Aari, you get the boy, she's mine" Piper said brushing broken bits of wood from her top.
He winked at me and orbed away, I followed him and noticed that we were in golden gate park.
I felt myself get thrown onto my back and looked up to see him walking towards me laughing, "Is that all you've got?" he said mockingly.
I got to my feet and telekinetically threw a nearby bench towards him, he threw it back towards me using his telekinesis and I dove out of the way.
"So what powers do you have?" he asked deflecting a few of my combustive blasts.
"Why? So you can come up with something to kill me with?" I retorted.
"No, it's because you're kind of... I think I've read about your power, surely the sister's would have told you about it" he said smugly.
"No... They said it was an advanced form of conjuration" I replied reluctantly.
He laughed and then shook his head, "Wow, they really wanted you locked away in secret didn't they but I mean... since Billie and Christy, they've kind of got to"
"What are you talking about" I asked getting frustrated.
"You're a Spell Speecher" he said and orbed away.
I figured he was lieing and I orbed home; everyone was watching Wyatt as he healed Melinda.
"What happened" I whispered to Chris.
"She went after that girl and she managed to dodge a few blows but she got hit" he replied.
"Well at least Wyatt's healing right?"
"Well that's not the point is it" he replied rudely.
"Oh, well, I'm sorry... I'll look for them in the book" I said excusing myself from the family awkwardness and headed into the attic.
