Hello!

Before you start reading, I'd like to say a few things.

First of all, I don't own Charmed or any of it's characters. Kai however is my own character.

Secondly, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read my story. If you do decide to review, no flames please.

Lastly, This is set a few months after the Ultimate Battle. While I enjoyed the books, it will not follow the books directly.


"Make this easy on yourself. Just tell me where the Charmed Ones are." A woman said as she stood, menacingly above another young woman. She was about five foot seven. She had long black hair and mint green eyes. Sighing, she raked a hand through her hair. This witch was really getting on her last nerve. "I'm trying to be nice here."

"So attacking me, kidnapping me, and threatening to kill me is you being nice? You wonder why I won't tell you." The young witch snapped. "Besides, how do I know that you're not a demon and you're not going to hurt them?"

"Ha. Don't insult me like that. I'm not a demon darling. I'm actually a witch, just like yourself. Just… a little different. That's why I need to get in contact with the sisters."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Kai. That's all you need to know. So, last chance. Are you gonna tell me where the sisters are or not?"

The young witch looked at Kai thoughtfully. She didn't seem to be a demon, but she didn't have normal powers. She wasn't going to risk the sister's safety like that. Most magical beings knew where the sisters lived, especially witches. If this Kai was who she said she was, then there was no reason that she wouldn't have the knowledge.

"I'm going to take the silence as a no. Oh well. If you don't move, this won't hurt." Kai advised. She looked into the young woman's eyes. She scanned memory after memory, until she finally found the one she was looking for. "1329 Prescott Street, San Fran. Well, thanks for the information dear. You won't remember any of this." Kai said as she shimmered away.


"Leo!" Piper's voice called "Don't forget your lunches!"

The former whitelighter smiled as he entered the kitchen and took the three paper bags. Wyatt soon followed behind his father, with a huge grin on his face.

"Whatcha so happy about kiddo?" Piper asked a she picked up her oldest son. He didn't reply but gave her a quick peck on the cheek. She playfully narrowed her eyes at her son.

"He's excited for today. He met a new friend. Her name's Shelly." Leo informed his wife as he picked up little Chris.

Piper laughed, "You're not even five and you're already charming women. You must get that from your daddy."

"Well, we better get going, wouldn't wanna be late. I'll see you later hon. Bye." Leo said as he took Wyatt. The young boy took his father's hand as they exited the room.

Piper let out a content sigh before exiting the kitchen. She had some inventory she had to finish at P3. While she may have hired a new manager, he didn't do much for inventory. She had lost track of how many times he messed up an order. Grabbing her keys off of the stand, she left for the club.


"You have got to be kidding me." Phoebe muttered to herself as the elevator jerked to a halt. "Elise is going to kill me."

"I doubt that." A woman said from the other side of the elevator. Phoebe looked at her, she had never seen this woman before. She was younger, but held a certain authority about her. "I mean you are the heart of the paper after all."

"That won't stop her." Phoebe joked.

"I'm Phoebe, Phoebe Halliwell." Phoebe reached out her hand. The woman smiled and shook it happily.

"I'm Kai. Kai Riley. It's nice to meet you." Before Phoebe could say anything, her phone began to buzz. She pulled it out of her pocket. The caller I.D. flashed 'Elise'.

"Hello?"

"Phoebe, you wouldn't happen to be stuck in one of the elevators would you?"

"Yeah, I am. I'm in elevator two with another woman. What's going on?"

"The power's out for some reason. We've called the service men. It'll take them at least an hour to get here. From what I understand, elevator one has nine people in it. So that's gonna be their main priority. Are you and the other woman okay for a few hours?"

"Yeah, we'll be fine." Phoebe sighed as she closed her phone. At least she couldn't be held responsible for her missing the meeting.

"I take it we're stuck in here for a while?" Kai asked.

"Yeah. So, since we're gonna be stuck in here for a while, are you from around here?"

Phoebe and Kai proceeded to spend the next three hours talking. They covered everything they possibly could think of. Phoebe talked about her family, Coop, and how she was a rebellious teenager. Kai talked about her parents, how she traveled the world on more than one occasion, and her martial art training. Phoebe couldn't help but think how she was glad that of all people she had to be stuck in an elevator with, it was Kai. She reminded her of herself in so many ways.

"So you've studied martial arts?" Phoebe questioned.

"Yes. I've traveled to China and Japan and studied abroad. I've mastered almost every type of the art. I could teach you sometime if you want." Kai offered.

"Sounds like a plan ." As if on cue, the elevator began moving. Phoebe wanted to jump for joy. "Finally. I mean don't get me wrong, hanging in the elevator with you was great, a lot better than it would have been if it had been someone else."

"Likewise." Kai flashed a smile and exited the elevator, leaving Phoebe alone.

There's something strange about that girl. Phoebe thought to herself. She didn't find her to be dangerous. Though, she felt like she knew more than she was letting on. Phoebe shrugged to herself and headed towards her office.
