Term Paper Turmoil

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

Aphrodite faded into her room. Her cousins weren't at home so she had the room all to herself. She was carrying library books because she had just faded in from the library. She sat all of the books on her bed which was closest to the window. She turned on her laptop and laid stomach down onto the bed. As she went through on of the books she sighed. This was going to be a lot of work.

About an hour later the books were scattered all over her bed and she was typing away on her laptop. Suddenlly a knock came from the other side of the door.

"Whoever it is come in,"she called.

[Phoebe Halliwell]

Piper opened the door and took in the messy room, with papers and books strewn all over and realised how much Aph had taken after Phoebe. She was looking for Melinda but her daughter was no where to bee seen in the Manor. She smiled knowingly. "Have you seem Melinda?" she asked her niece.

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

Aphrodite looked up at her aunt and said,"Nope. I haven't seen her Aunt Piper. Sorry." She looked back down at her laptop and continued to type. She stopped to take a break and looked at her Aunt.

"I'll straighten up in here too Aunt Piper. I Promise,"she said when she saw how her Aunt looked when she entered the room.

[Phoebe Halliwell]

"She's lucky then- she left a mess in the attic. Something tells me a potion blew up on her- that smell's going to be around for days," said Piper in a tired voice. "Well it's not as if your mom could make you promise that- she was alot messier than you are," she said with an amused expression on her face.

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

Aphrodite laughed. "I know dad is always complaining about that." Aphrodite smirked and gave a sigh. "I don't know but that would explain the noise I heard before I went to the library."

Aphrodite stretched with her back facing her aunt which caused the tattoo on her lower back to become exposed. It said 'Lissen' which was obviously her middle name. It had roses with thorns around it. That was another thing she had in common with her mom: her tattoos.

[Phoebe Halliwell]

Piper smiled but her eyes help surprise when she saw the tattoo on Aphrodite. "Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell does you mother know about that?" she asked her voice getting a little more stern. Phoebe and Paige may let their nieces get away with things (though not their own daughters) but Piper was stricter than they were- though not in a very serious way.

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

Aphrodite laughed and turned around to face her Aunt. "Calm down Aunt Piper. Technically since I'm 19, I didn't have to tell mom when I got it. However to answer your question yes, mom knows about the tattoo. She also knows about the tattoo on my ankle and on my shoulder blade."

She pulled up her pant leg and exposed her tattoo of a cross with rosary beads wrapped around it. She then turned around and pulled down the top of her shirt to expose the tattoo of a Koi fish.

[Richela Zenith]

Iris teleported in, sorrounded my a cold rush of wind. She had always wanted to drop in and pay a visit to the Halliwells, but never did. She didn't know that she was almost identical to the queen of the Underworld, Axelia, who had crossed paths with the Charmed family quite a few times. Iris herself was only just getting known to the Underworld. "Is a good witch like you really supposed to be getting tattoos?" she asked in a careless tone.

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

"Is a piece of trash like you really supposed to be of ground?" Aphrodite asked in a smart mouthed tone. She pulled her pants leg down and pulled her shirt up as she stood. She took a challenging position.

[Phoebe Halliwell]

Piper froze her hands to freeze Iris but she wouldn't freeze. damn Upper-leveled Demons she thought with annoyance and looked over at Aphrodite. They were all so grown up and oculd take care of themselves easily. "Haven't you caused enough problems in out family already?" she asked in an annoyed voice.

[Richela Zenith]

Confusion flitted across Iris's face for a moment at Piper's comment before she concealed it. Or tried to at least- she hoped it worked. "Aww, does whittle Halliwell want to fight with the big -beautiful- bad demon?" asked Iris in a baby voice.

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

"Wow what are we in 7th grade?" Aphrodite said rolling her eyes. "I can take you and I'm not a baby. Technically I think the last time we met I won the fight. So get that mocking tone out of your mouth now. And whoever told you you were beautiful lied."

Aprhodite scanned her face and remembered the look of confusion she had. "Well you look confused. Very confused. I see the Queen of the Underworld is losing her touch.

[Richela Zenith]

Iris shaked her head at the petty comebacks. Was she really that pathetic when she now found out her powers? And what was that about being Queen of the Underworld? Well, she'd play along. "Do you really think I give a damn about your baby retorts?" she asked in an annoyed voice. She formed an electricity ball in her hand. It was a rare power- it was like an energy ball except alot more powerful. "You should watch yourself."

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

"You might wanna take your own advice," Aphrodite said raising an eyebrow. The electricity ball hardly phased her. She was attacked by demons almost twice a day. Even though the power was rare Aphrodite stood her ground.

[Richela Zenith]

"Why?" asked Iris crossing her arms. "I'm not afraid of you," she said, looking Aphrodite up and down with a disgusted expression on her face. Putting her finger on the lamp Aphrodite recieved from her cousin last Chrismas it froze and cracked. "There's no reason to be."
