Chapter 3: New Magics

Will's POV

The door to the apartment swung open and Will stared into the cozy living place. The strange woman was leading her inside helpfully.

"Will, this is our home." She said softly.

"Home…" Will muttered as she held her hand to her head. The woman, her mother, put a hand on her shoulder quickly.

"It's okay. Don't try to strain yourself. Maybe you're tired and need to go to sleep. Maybe in the morning you'll-" Susan choked on her words and fell silent.

Will nodded. What else could she do? She had nothing in her mind except for a large empty space full of lost memories. Sleep would be able to help, wouldn't it?

She started walking forward and then stopped and turned back to her mother.

"Um," she started. Susan pointed to the right and Will nodded. She felt embarrassed that she didn't know where her room was. She walked through the door and shut it behind her.

Wow, I must be some slob, Will thought as she picked up some dirty clothes and threw them back onto the floor. She sighed as she fell onto her bed and instantly fell asleep.

---

Her eyes slowly opened hours, minutes later and she yawned. She could see that it was still light outside. Will looked at the frog alarm clock next to her bed and realized it was a little past three. She got up to shut the curtains and it became very dark in the room. Will stifled another yawn and walked outside the room and into the hallway.

I wonder where all the food is around here, Will thought as she fumbled around in the hallway. I think I saw the kitchen on my way over here.

Wait, what's that? I hear someone…crying.

Will moved her ear closer to the door where loud sobs were echoing off the walls.

"Is that, my mother?" Will asked herself softly as she strained to hear. The words suddenly became so much clearer that Will had to step away from the bedroom door.

"Oh, it's so horrible! She doesn't remember who she is. She doesn't remember me. My poor baby…"

The sobs were muffled again and Will stepped back into the wall behind her with a sickening feeling in her stomach.

"I don't feel so hungry anymore." She whispered before running back into her bedroom.

Will shut the door behind her once again. The room was very dark, and yet she didn't even know where the light was. With a choked sob, Will took small steps looking for where the bed was. Her elbow crashed into some things that were on her dresser and something fell to the floor. Will looked down and noticed that her eyes had quickly adjusted to the dark. She bent down to see what she had dropped.

Will picked up a picture in a frame and caressed its edges. She felt that if she could at least hold this picture, that some memories would come flooding back to her…

There was nothing. She had nothing and seemed to be stuck wandering admist in the dark, just gripping for anyone or anything to hang onto, but everything around her seemed to be so far away and unreachable.

"They all act so sad and sorry, but they have no idea what I'm going through." Will whispered in despair. A tear slowly filled up in her eyelids and slid down her cheek before falling onto the glass frame of six girls dressed up and smiling at what looked like a dance or party. Four of the girls had just met at what she supposed was her school, but the other girl with long braids of straw-colored hair was completely new to her. How come she hadn't seen her yet?

"Look at me...I'm so, happy."

Will studied her face and sighed. Until she knew what was going on, she knew that she couldn't truly be happy. She felt like a lost and loney girl on a stormy night looking for shelter, but finding nobody who could understand her condition and help her through the night.

Will shivered. It's so scary in the dark, she thought.

An almost silent whisper came from behind her and Will turned to look around.

"What is it? Who's there?"

Will received an uneasy feeling and took a deep breath. She tried to look back at the picture, but then she could swear that she heard the voice again. It was saying the same thing, one word, one name…Will…

Irma's POV

Irma and Hay Lin walked silently together down the sidewalk. Classes had finally let out. It was at about this time of day when Irma was extremely happy and up for practicing some magic and hanging out with her friends, but Will's sudden dilemma seemed to have changed the circumstances drastically.

"So, what do you think we should do?" Hay Lin asked her.

"I don't know Hay Lin." Irma said sadly. "The one we could count on for answers is gone."

"But Will is still here-"

"Not our Will." Irma told her. "She's lost."

Irma watched Hay Lin's lip tremble and Irma wrapped one arm around her friend's head.

"Hey! This will all work out. We just have to help her, that's all. Will will be back with us in no time, you'll see." Irma said cheerfully. Hay Lin nodded and managed a smile.

I just wish that I could really be that positive, Irma thought with a gulp.

"Hey, what do you say about paying her a visit. I bet she's lonely without us there causing some chaos in her life." Irma said with a giggle. Hay Lin gysmiled brightly at this.

"Yeah, I really want to see her."

Hay Lin rang the door bell and the girls waited for somebody to answer at Will's apartment. Hay Lin was fiddling with her long pigtails and Irma rang the bell impatiently again.

"What is taking them so long?" Irma said aloud.

The door clicked open just as she said this and Irma and Hay Lin came face to face with the blank stare of Will.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Oh, hi Will. We were just wondering…um, we were just wondering if-"

"If you wanted to go to the Halliwell's place with us." Hay Lin said.

Irma blinked at Hay Lin.

Good coverup. Will will definitely come with us now.

Thanks, wait, Will's thinking.

Will's face brightened up.

"Sure! Let's go. I remember the way." Will said enthusiastically as she walked past them and shut her front door.

"Oh yeah. Wait just a moment." Will told them. She opened the door again and called out to her mother.

"Um, Mom! I'm going out to visit the Halliwells with, uh," Will turned to the two girls. "What were your names again?"

"I'm Irma and this is Hay Lin." Irma said.

Hay Lin and Irma turned to look at each other with sad faces as Will continued to yell, "Irma and Hay Lin. Bye!"

Will turned to them and noticed their glum faces.

"I'm sorry. I feel really embarrassed for not remembering." She told them.

Irma shook her head and gave a reassuring smile.

"That's alright. You're bound to remember everything soon again, right Hay Lin?"

"Definitely," Hay Lin responded with a wink. "You're our best friend, and we'll have you back to normal before you know it."

Will smiled and looked at them for a moment. Irma could only wonder what she was thinking before she strode ahead of them.

"Come on. It's this way." She told them before turning around and walking down the sidewalk. Irma and Hay Lin exchanged glances again before following her.

"It's funny how she can remember the way to their house and can't even remember us." Irma said to her.

"Well, there's bound to be some emptiness inside of her head, so maybe everything else that she learns fills it." Hay Lin responded with a shrug. Will turned back to them and waved for them to hurry up. Irma nudged Hay Lin and they ran to catch up with Will. The three of them walked silently until they reached the Halliwell Manor.

Piper's POV

"Leo!" Piper called out into the air impatiently once again.

Grrr! Why doesn't he ever come right when he's called, she wondered angrily to herself.

"Just relax Piper. He'll come when he wants to." Phoebe's demon turned good boyfriend, Cole, told her. Piper narrowed her eyes.

"I don't need you telling me to relax. Leo!" Piper yelled again. An answer didn't come and Piper walked into the kitchen where Paige was stirring something in a large pot.

"What are you doing?" Piper asked as she peered into the weird ingredients that Paige had been putting into the pot.

"Making a potion." She answered. "What does it look like I'm doing?"

"Yeah, but what for?"

"That Nerissa person. We don't know if she's a demon or whatever, but," Paige tightened the cap of a small bottle and displayed it on the countertop proudly.

"I've cooked up a strong enough potion that'll send her evil butt flying away if she tries to hurt Will again. Or at least I hope it does."

"Hi! I'm back." Phoebe said cheerfully as she took off her coat. Just then, a blue shimmering came into Piper's view and she saw Leo appear next to Phoebe.

"Well it's about time!" Piper said with a roll of her eyes.

"Sorry, that visit with the Elders took longer than I thought."

"Uh huh, so have you found out anything?" Piper asked.

"Well, they weren't exactly willing to give any information about it." Leo said uncomfortably.

Piper's jaw dropped.

"Here it comes…" Paige mumbled.

"What do you mean that they weren't willing to give any information? As in they know something and just don't feel like telling us?"

"Just calm down, honey. They have their reasons, I'm sure-"

"Oh those reasons better be good enough. How are we supposed to protect that girl if those 'all high and mighty' idiots don't tell us anything?" Piper yelled.

"I'm with Piper." Phoebe said. "Are you sure that they didn't say anything that can help us out?"

Leo shrugged.

"All they said was that they had people already working on it."

"Why would they be fussing about someone attacking a girl up there?" Paige asked. "It doesn't seem like so much of a problem for them to get all worked up about."

"Yeah, it seems like our kind of turf drama." Phoebe said. "Why do they all of a suddenly want to take this case upon themselves?"

"Look, I have no clue. I just told you what I've been told. They just said to watch over her." Leo said as he sat down in a chair.

Piper folded her arms and furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"But that doesn't make any sense. What other people could be working on this whole thing besides us? They're acting differently with this girl and her attacker. What I'm wondering is, what could be so special about Will?"

Hay Lin's POV

"Whoa! Is this some house, or what?" Hay Lin exclaimed. Will giggled.

"Wait until you see the inside. And the three sisters are really nice. They helped me." Will said. Hay Lin nodded and remembered Taranee's words from earlier.

'There's something about them that's weird. They may be nice, but there's a secret that they're hiding.'

"Alright then, let's go meet these people then." Irma said as she reached forward to ring the doorbell. Hay Lin held her breath as a man with dark brown hair answered the door.

"May I help you?" he asked.

"Uh, yeah. The sisters said that we could drop by sometime, so…" Will said shyly.

Hay Lin had to smile.

Will kind of seems like her old self. Well, besides the whole clueless part, there is something inside that can possibly bring the real Will back.

I just wonder how long it will take for that to happen…

"Oh, well come on in. My name's Cole." He said as they were led into a sitting area.

"Whoa!" Hay Lin whispered again.

"Um, don't mind me, I'll be right back." Cole said as he walked off. Hay Lin just grinned in return and he walked off. Once he was gone, Irma whistled and started looking around from her seat.

"Nice place! I wonder if they have any snacks."

"As long as you can deal with cookies," came a woman's voice.

Hay Lin turned to see the woman with the short dark brown hair place a plate of cookies on the table.

"Hey, I remember you. Paige, right?" Hay Lin asked. The woman nodded and smiled.

"Well, we didn't expect you girls to come so soon, but help yourselves. I'm guessing that school let out a while ago."

Hay Lin nodded and took a bite of the warm cookie happily. The only one who didn't seem to be eating anything was Will.

"Where's Piper and Phoebe?" Will asked .

"Well, they're in the kitchen still, but they should be out here soon." Paige said. "In the meantime, would you girls like a tour of the house?"

"Sure!" Hay Lin said and Will got up too. Irma looked longingly back at the plate of cookies before giving a sigh and walking behind them as Paige showed them around.

"So the living room's right there. And that's the backyard." Paige told them.

"What's up there?" Will asked as she pointed up the stairs.

"Oh, our bedrooms and stuff?" she answered.

"Do you have a basement, and an attic too?" Will continued to inquire."

Paige seemed to hesitate before nodding.

"Well, yeah, but I don't even want to try to maneuver up there. It's kind of messy."

Hay Lin felt Irma's eyes on her and turned to give her a glare that meant 'remember Mrs. Rudolph?' Irma just shrugged and put her hands in the pockets of her jeans and looking back inquiringly at the staircase.

"So, you are all three sisters?" Hay Lin asked.

"Yep. I'm the youngest, Phoebe is the middle, and Piper is the oldest." Answered Paige.

"Grrr! Just go back, Leo, and demand for them to give us more answers! I am so sick and tired of-Oh, hey girls." Piper said, surprised. Hay Lin watched as Phoebe and Cole and another man that she presumed to be named 'Leo' walked out of the kitchen behind her.

"It's good to see you three again." Phoebe said to Irma, Hay Lin, and Will. "This is my boyfriend, Cole."

"We've met," Cole told her with a slight nod.

"And this right here is Piper's husband, Leo." Phoebe continued.

"Hi! I'm Hay Lin, and this is Irma and then Will." Hay Lin said happily.

Meeting new people, what could get me more physched and in a good mood!

"Yeah, I remember Will." Leo said. "How are you feeling now?"

"Um, okay I guess." Will answered.

"Is she the one who-"

Phoebe elbowed Cole in the ribs and looked at Will apologetically.

"Sorry, men sometimes don't know when to keep their mouths shut."

A large crash came from the kitchen and Paige and Piper looked at each other.

"Um, we'll be right back." Piper said before they raced into the other room.

Everyone looked at each other silently as another crash was heard. Hay Lin gasped as she heard a scream and she and Irma automatically jumped up and ran toward the kitchen.

"Hay Lin! Irma! No!" they heard Phoebe cry. Hay Lin pushed open the door and her mouth opened in a dead shock.

Before them stood a terrifying looking human. His eyes were blood-red and his teeth her huge! He held an electric type ball in his hands.

Leo, Cole, and Phoebe walked in behind Hay Lin and Irma.

"Perfect! You couldn't have kept the girls away?" Paige yelled as the creature threw the ball toward her head and missed while hitting a bowl of fruit instead.

"I tried but they ran too fast!" Phoebe yelled back.

"What's going on?" came a small voice from behind them. Hay Lin turned to see Will wide eyed as she walked into the room.

"What is that?" she screamed.

Hay Lin sighed. She, Irma, and Will had seen far worse and scarier looking things before, but of course, Will didn't remember any of the creatures of Meridian.

As the thing heard Will's voice, he turned his attention toward her and threw another electric ball in her direction.

"No!" Hay Lin yelled.

It was at that moment that the ball froze just inches from Will's face. She blinked in surprise and Hay Lin turned to Piper who let her hands fall down.

"Energy ball!" Paige yelled as she waved her hands and directed the energy ball from in front of Will's face into the weird human. It screamed and writhed in a large flame before it burst before their eyes and disappeared.

…

"Wha-what was that?" asked Will.

"How did you do that?" Irma asked fearfully.

Piper sighed.

"We might as well just tell them now." She said.

"Tell us what?" Hay Lin asked.

"We're witches." Phoebe told them with a smile.
