Chapter 1
Leanne Isabella Toscano Black was a cute, rich, blonde girl who loved to shop and get her hair and nails done. What people didn't know is she was a Whitelighter Witch and was born with the power of the Phoenix. This was a power much sought after by both those who were evil and those who were good. This power allowed the bearer to control the weather and everyone with her mind. The Source of all Evil wanted to kill her and take her power, the Elders wanted to use her and her power for their own means against the Source this had left Leanne without a side to be on she was alone, scared and confused.
Her father has sent her to a boarding school right in the country isolated from city life. She was alone at boarding school she couldn't trust anyone she had to keep to herself which was against her nature; her father had sent her there to hide her from the source and the other Elders. He blocked her presence from the world so that only he knew where she was. She wasn't allowed to leave or do anything a normal person would do; she felt like a prisoner in jail. At school she went by another name; she was Miriam Isabella Lockhart Mimi for short. Not that she was allowed to introduce herself to anyone.
Leanne had been stuck in this place for a year now she wasn't allowed to make any friends; so she kept a diary of the day to day things she encountered. She would have gone mad if she didn't talk to anybody and at least a diary wouldn't betray her to her enemies.
People left her alone as they were persuaded to by a vampire. He messed with their minds so everyone would want to avoid her. Leanne wasn't as scared of Angel as she was when her father first introduced them. She knew her father had sent him to the school to keep an eye on her but he too wasn't allowed to speak to her but it felt good to know that there was someone there to protect her should her enemies find her. Sometimes she prayed they would find her at least she prayed the man; the glorious handsome stranger that haunted her dreams would find her and carry her away.
Leanne sat looking out at the land around her she was in Ireland the land her ancestors came from, the land where her families magic began, the land where her ancestor who was the first phoenix had helped a lot of people.
As the stories go Elyria Brady was a beacon of hope in a time of adversity; she was a bright light at the end of a dark tunnel, she was able to see the truth and lies which in turn would stop families of her village from fighting to an extent that a feud would break out; but most of all she held the power to stop Evil in its tracks at least for a while so those who were innocent were protected her powers for almost godlike.
Elyria was the matriarch of Leanne's family line; she married and had only one child. Her phoenix power did not develop in her daughter; Elyria finally understood that there was to be only one phoenix in any lifetime; which is why her magical powers were so sought after.
The most powerful demon Elyria had ever encountered Dyson as he liked to be called had found out of her powers and had set out to capture her. In order to protect her family and her powers Elyria had blocked her daughter from all demons until fate dictated she was to fight them.
Elyria had prophesised before her death, that the phoenix would not return again until she was needed, when she would return she would be one of the most powerful beings to walk this earth. Her soul never returned again as the phoenix until Leanne was born.
The Phoenix was not a power to be taken lightly the person who was to have this power had to be a person with compassion and kindness; a person of angelic kindness. Should the power be put in the wrong hands there would be no stopping them and they could single hand idly start the end of the world as the power would corrupt even a good person who wasn't meant to have this power.
Leanne knew from the stories of Elyria her past life that there had to be more to this world than these four walls. Her father couldn't protect her forever. They will find her and when they do she will be ready to fight them.
Lucy Braund was a tomboy growing up she spent most of her time with the boys of her neighbourhood. She loved to hang out with her friends the Halliwell brothers and her half brothers. They were the only family she'd been able to know on her dad's side. She was part of a huge family her mother Rose Turner had many children 7 children to be exact; Nick jr, Jake, Ricky,Lucy, Abby, Adam and Sarah. She didn't know her father very well, as for her own safety he had to stay away. Her brothers and sisters father Nick Braund was the Source of all Evil. None of her family was evil though they had rebelled against him and decided to be normal or as normal as you can be when you have supernatural powers.
Lucy wished things had been different that her mother and father could enjoy the love they had for each other. Both John and Rose were married to other people whom they loved. They were drawn to each other. At a time of their brief affair and of Lucy and Abby's conception, John had been separated from Izzy. He later returned to Izzy when there was no chance that he and Rose could ever be together in this life. Isabella was able to forgive him for his infidelity but she didn't want to know of the children he had fathered with Rose. Lucy was a triplet; she and her twin sister Abby were the result of the affair, her brother Adam who had died when they were very young was not. John and Rose were in love but timing was never right for them.
Lucy had met Wesley and Brady through Chris, Wyatt and LJ she had always known who her father was she had met him in secret a few times and each time he apologised that he could not be there. He never missed the important days like birthdays and he would always be there if she needed to call him. Her sister Abby always found herself in trouble and John would always bail her out he was now paying for her to be at an art school in Paris that her mother was unable to afford. Rose and Nick divorced the day he chose to become the source.
Lucy had loved Wesley and Brady the moment she met them she was shocked that they knew of her existence and were glad that were finally able to meet. They were so protective of her and looked out for her whenever they were at P3. They never spoke of the rest of the family as they felt it would hurt Lucy that she could never really know them as they didn't know of her existence. As Wesley and Brady were older they had been old enough to know what was going on. They had heard their parents fighting about it. She was there for Wesley when his girlfriend died during child birth when he was 16 his daughters are six now and she loves being an aunt to them; Elena (Laney) and Nicola (Nikki) likewise loved her so much too almost like a mum.
Lucy is in a relationship with Chris Halliwell she is 18 and he is 20. She had always been in love with him but he had never seemed to notice her. She lost her virginity to him when she was 16; one night when they had been alone in the tree house they had been caught out in a storm they could have both left but neither of them wanted to. They had a rocky start as the she was Lj's best friend and Chris had a girlfriend at the time he didn't want to hurt his girlfriend and so after they had made love he said to Lucy it would take time for him to end things with Holly; Lucy took that the wrong way and thought that meant that he didn't want her. Lucy was so hurt that to get her own back had slept with Wyatt, but she regretted it as soon as it was over. Wyatt was more of a big brother to her and it felt wrong it didn't feel like it had with Chris. Chris forgave her after a big huge massive fight and once he was free of his girlfriend they made it official and started dating. LJ wasn't happy at first but he came around.
John Black was a shrewd business man he had built his business Basic Black from the ground up, he was grooming his sons Brady and Wesley to take over. His youngest son and daughter were upcoming performers with albums coming out. There was more to John Black than his company Basic Black and his children. He was an elder, he had to hide one of his daughters from the other Elders and so he was not on good terms in the Magical world. He had secrets, he had power and he had everything but the love of his life.
John still loved Rose; he had stayed with Izzy for the sake of Leanne. His angel, his beautiful phoenix he wanted to keep her safe from those around him who wanted to control her. Leanne had shown she would have great power from a young age her eyes showed wisdom of a lifetime of knowledge. John wasn't afraid of the powers his daughter possessed. He was afraid for her. Nick was the most powerful Source they had ever elected. He was scared that he would succeed where his predecessors had failed.
John tried to be a good father he tried to ensure all his children were safe protected. He helped where he could. He'd helped Abby settle in Paris at a prestigious art school and she'd never been more happy than she was there he visited her often. Lucy was a phone call away and his sons where with her giving her the family on his side she sought. Josh and Sophie were succeeding under his label with Wesley producing their records. Wesley was becoming a good father to his children. Brady showed huge promise in taking over his company.
Brady Black was a lot like his father, he is a little younger than Wyatt, they met at magic School and he and his twin brother soon became friends with him. Brady will one day become CEO of Basic Black where his brother will be Vice-President. He was currently working as a Junior VP. Brady was never good with girls not like his brother so he was usually in Wesley and Wyatt's shadow.
Wesley Black is a party animal he isn't really interested in running Basic Black he wants to produce music, find girls and be a good father to his daughters. He was already making a name for himself under the Basic Black recording studio. He'd produced his brother and sisters album and was getting calls from other big names in the business.
The Halliwell brothers were the sons of Piper Halliwell who was one third of the illustrious charmed ones and Leo Wyatt an Elder turned mortal turned Whitelighter. Wyatt, Chris and LJ are close brothers and they loved to all hang out with each other at P3 with their friends Wesley and Brady Black and LJ's best friend Lucy.
Wyatt Halliwell was the twice blessed child like Leanne he was prophesised to be born. He is 22 years old and has shown that he is great with his mum's businesses he has taken over P3 and is now running it with the help of his brothers when they aren't in college (Chris) and School (LJ). Wyatt is a bit of a womaniser he has had many girlfriends but never long term. He says to everyone that he doesn't do relationships.
Lately Wyatt has been having these surreal dreams of an angelic creature her hair as yellow as the sand her eyes as blue as the Sky. Every dream has been like she has been calling him like she has needed him to rescue her. He didn't know who this girl was, but he had felt a connection to her like they had been together in another life; like she and he were born to be together.
Wyatt wouldn't tell anyone about this dream other than his aunt Phoebes, he had a reputation to maintain. He was young and he certainly didn't want to be tied to down by one girl he wasn't ready for it. His aunt Phoebes had asked him what he would do if this dream girl was actually his other half reaching out to him as she was in trouble. Wyatt had thought long and hard and every night he would dream of the girl and every morning he would feel the loss. If this girl was real if she really did need his help fate would open the door to where and when he was to find and save her.
Lucy had the same eyes as this girl; he was drawn to those eyes one night when he was really drunk she had the same sad eyes as the girl in his dream. But he had soon realised after they had made love that she wasn't her that it hadn't felt right. He loved Lucy, he had believed he was in love at one point but it wasn't right she wasn't his dream angel. She was Chris' other half and he did everything he could to save them; he apologised and pushed them to talk and they soon begin forgiving each other now they were closer than ever.
Chris Halliwell was the middle son he was two years younger than Wyatt and loved spending time at P3 with his brothers. He loved Lucy, he felt the connection to her as they grew up. She was LJ's best friend and she was a friend of his; but he didn't dare to dream she felt the same way for him. He skipped college, he said that was LJ's thing. He wanted to work, make money and settle down with a business of his own and maybe start a family.
Leo junior or LJ as everyone calls him is 18 years old and he loves his family. He is the kindest, sweetest and cleverest son of Piper Halliwell. For a long time he hated himself because he felt that his brother James would still be here if he hadn't been born, he felt James should have been the third brother in the next generation of the Charmed ones. If it wasn't for Lucy he would have gone mad with the guilt. He graduated school early and was at Law school. He was a young genius.
Wesley and Brady were working at the office when they heard raised voices their parents were fighting again. They never understood why they were still together when they didn't love each other anymore. They both listened at the door.
"John she's my daughter too you made the decision all on your own to hide her but that can't be good for her she's a normal teenage girl"
"She's not normal, she's special I sent her away to protect her from Nick and the other elders, her life wouldn't be normal if anyone knew where she was Izzy and you know it"
"John, I miss my little girl she's been gone for a little over a year; now you're telling me I'll never get to see her again her brothers and sister will never get to see her again"
Wesley and Brady look at each other.
"No you won't they will follow you and find her and I can't allow that Nick will Kill her for her power the Elders will imprison her they said it was too much power in one person"
"She had a life here there has to be another way John" she was in tears now "She should be allowed to live her life, fall in love, get married and have children she's done nothing wrong"
"You knew she'd never have any of that when she started flying as a baby she was prophesised just like Wyatt Halliwell was"
"I wished more for her John, She didn't come into her phoenix power until last year and then you sent her away and hid her from everyone. The children think she's in Europe, she e-mails them or at least they think she e-mails them, she's been isolated from everything she loves John it will burn out her light out"
"You think I wanted this for her Izzy I didn't"
"John, you need to find another way of bringing my little girl back to me or so help me I will destroy this business because it means as much to you as my children do to me"
John looks at her. "Come on Izzy I'm doing what's best for our daughter you know the stories of Elyria"
Isabella grabs her bag "I also know she led a normal peaceful to an extent life. You have two weeks to figure something out" she leaves.
Wesley and Brady had heard enough they had to find their sister and they knew just the people who would be able to help they both orbed to the basement and got into Wesley's SUV and drove to P3.
Lucy walked into P3 and sat next to Chris. Chris takes her hand and kisses it "you ok baby"
"Yeah, err I ... I think I'm pregnant!"
Chris looks at her "you do, oh my god baby if we are it's going to be ok you know why because we love each other" he smiles at her lifting her chin "look at me I love you let's take a test"
Lucy smiles through her tears "I love you, yeah let's take a test"
Chris smiles "we can take it after I finish here we can buy it on the way to my place"
Lucy hugs him "ok" she helps him at the club
Wyatt walked in the club with LJ ... He took off his coat reading a text from Wesley "Hey guys Wesley just texted he said he and Brady are on their way they need our help the er " he whispered "magical kind"
Lucy smiles at Wyatt "cool"
LJ looks at Chris and Lucy "oh my god Chris you got Lucy pregnant"
Chris looks fast at his brother "we were going to take a test"
"LJ, do you mind not smelling me" she grins at Chris "are you ok with this."
LJ holds up his hands "sorry but I can't help it"
Chris grins at him then kisses Lucy "I'm very ok with this" he smiles
Wyatt grins and hugs them both. "Congratulations you guys"
Chris and Lucy smile "thanks Wyatt"
LJ got a beer from behind the bar and threw a bottle to Chris and Wyatt.
"hey LJ, what about me?"
LJ smirks "you can't now you're preggers"
Lucy pouts
Chris hugs her "aww only 9 months baby"
Lucy looks at Chris "9 months too long"
Chris kisses her nose and smiles
Lucy smiles at him
LJ looked at them and smiles "so I wonder what Wes and Brady want"
Wyatt shrugs "whatever it is ... it must be big he said it has to do with their family and they never talk about their family we don't even know anything about their family"
Chris holds Lucy from behind kissing her head.
"Their my brothers and I don't even know about our family"
"That's for your own safety from Nick though Luce"
"I know but I'm glad I got to meet my brothers but they won't tell me anything more about it like if we have other brothers and sisters or anything"
"Their private about that sort of thing" Wyatt stated
Wesley and Brady walk into P3.
Wesley hears what Lucy said and looks at Brady "Hey guys" they say together
Wyatt "hey you guys" guys hugs them both
Chris and LJ say together "Hi"
Wesley smiles at his sister "Luce you have two other sisters and one brother Sophia Toscano and Joshua Toscano the singers from that new band Double trouble are really Sophie and Josh Black our brother and sister they got a band together with friends their twins"
Lucy looks shocked "Oh my god I love that band that's amazing"
Brady looks at her and continues "our other sister Leanne has been hidden away for the last year or so; no one knows where she is and we need help to find her. We thought she was in Europe I mean we were getting e-mails and everything which now we know dad was sending to us"
Wesley takes a deep breath before letting out their bombshell "She's also the Phoenix"
Wyatt looked fast "the Phoenix are you kidding" he looked at Chris and LJ they had heard about this power the Elders had been looking for this girl since she went missing, their father had come home annoyed he'd lost a vote on what to do about the girl he thought she should be trained and encouraged to lead a normal life, the other elders wanted to isolate her practically jail her like she was a criminal use her to fight against the Source. They were also all scared of this girl.
Lucy looked at her big brother "Nick wants her too then"
Wesley and Brady nod "yeah"
"Well he can't have her I'm in I want to help save my sister" she smiles
"Leanne is a normal 18 year girl she loves to shop and hang out with friends; she is being kept away from her family and from everyone she loves; we need your help her get a normal life. Help her fight against Nick and against the elders"
Chris looks at Lucy "if it's against the Elders I'm in no question"
LJ "hell yeah I'm in ... there's one condition" ... he smirks ... "you introduce me to Sophia Toscano" he grins
Wyatt laughs "he has a huge crush on her"
Wesley laughs
"It's not a crush it's love I tell you I saw her at the Double trouble concert she was hot, cute and the one me!"
Chris laughs "LJ man she's so out of your league!"
"She is not you will see"
Wesley gives LJ her number "Call her you never know. But if you hurt her I'll break your legs. Ok you guys any of you got a plan for operation save the phoenix"
Wyatt looks at them all "I may have an Idea follow me, we may need to talk to mum and look at the book of shadows"
They all orb to the attic to discuss their plan.
