|OPEN TO ANYONE| Wandering around the Warf

[Lily Halliwell]

Lily wandered around the Warf munching on French Fries. She had been avoiding friends and family for a bit but now she wanted to see them. She just wished she could find them. Her dark eyes scanned the crowd trying to spot someone she cared for, to talk about the big decision she and Chase had made.

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

Aphrodite walked past her sister and plucked a fry from off of her plate and into her mouth. After she swallowed it she said,"Okay spill it. You've been avoiding me and the rest of the family for way too long. What's up with you?"

[Lily Halliwell]

Lily startled at the sound of her sister's voice. "Oh . . . hi. Well it's just Chase and I have been, well, planning something. Something that neither Mum or the Aunts are going to like. We're going to do something to make everything right."

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

"What is this you've been up to?" Aphrodite asked raising her eyebrow. She definitely didn't like being kept in the dark about anything. Most people said she was noisy but she saw it as wanting to be well informed at all times. She stole another fry off of her sister's plate and waited for a response.

[Lily Halliwell]

Lily looked at her sister, "I don't want you to get mad or anything because it's for the best. But Chase and I are going to perform a ritual with my friend, Gwendolyn. It will make up for everything evil we've done." Lily avoided her sister's eyes as she drank from her Jones soda.

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

"And exactly what type of spell is this?" Aphrodite asked her sister cautiously. She didn't want anything to et hurt and spells could go wrong very very easily.

[Lily Halliwell]

Lily looked deep into her eyes, "the power relinquishing spell. We're giving up our powers." Lily stood quickly and began to walk away to avoid the backlash.

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

Aphrodite got up and folowed her sister. "You're giving up your powers! Why?" she asked. "Just because you made one mistake doesn't mean you should give up your heritage."

Phoebe was heading to her car when she saw both her daughters walking around and chatting.
''Hey girls!''Phoebe called them.

[Lily Halliwell]

Lily whirled around in anger, "one little mistake? One little mistake? The entire world is at stake not to mention the family as well as Chase's AND my future. We're doing it to save the world. If we didn't do this who knows what mistakes we'll make." Tears rolled down her eyes as she began to walk away.

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

"Lily,the Halliwells have made plenty of mistakes. Look at what happened with the Avatars. Look at what Uncle Leo and the Elders. Everyone makes mistakes but they fix them in the end without giving up their powers."

[phoebehalliwell]

''Um...GIRLS?!''Phoebe called the two who seemed to ignore her.

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

Aphrodite turned around and saw her mother. "Oh hi mom. Sorry but I didn't see you there." Aphrodite took a step back from Lily wondering how much of their conversation their mother had heard.

[Lily Halliwell]

Lily turned back to her sister. "Yea, as Halliwells we all make mistakes . . . but not like this one. We're cursed as woman and blessed as witches. Not that something horrible's happened we're going to make it right. Right now. Chase and I are going to perform the ritual now." Lily looked at her sister with sad eyes. "And there's nothing you can do to stop us." Lily faded out to the attic . . . and a new future.

[Aphrodite Lissen Halliwell]

Aphrodite tried to say something but she knew that when her sister was set on doing something there was no changing her mind. She just hoped that nothing went wrong. She watched as her sister faded out and Aphrodite was overcome with sadness.
