How charmed are you?
Chapter 1 who am I
Flashback"You are the chosen one!"
Giles started down the stairs glaring over the top of his glasses his hands tightening on the railing making it quiver and exclaimed
"Into every generation, a slayer is born
One girl in all the world
A chosen one …..
One born with the…….."
I cut in, stopping him in mid sentence and gave him a dirty glance while I continued reciting
"The strength and skill to hunt the vampires
To stop the spread of evil
Bla bla, ive heard it ok!"
I stated hands on hips scowling bored with this English twit already.
End flashbackI stumble back against the wall reeling and slid slowly toward the floor. "Buffy are you ok, what did you see?" Giles asked gently kneeling down beside me. I gazed up I was breathing heavily as I thought who's Buffy……im Phoebe!
His gaze was one of love and it pained me to think that I had to tell him that I wasn't Buffy and I hadn't a clue who Buffy was and so I continued to look at him in his tweed suit eyes shining behind those same glasses from my premonition and had another thought is he real or a demon here to kill us?
I decided not to act-surprise was my best weapon
I finally spoke my voice sounding alien to me foreign somehow as I asked "whose Buffy?" the man called Giles sighed and leaned back unconsciously cleaning his glasses on his tweed as he thought.
At last after what seemed like hours he opened his mouth to speak and was quite suddenly cut off as Paige spoke
"Phoebe, Piper can I see you in the kitchen please! Now!" she nearly shouted. I stood up trembling slightly and walked calmly into the kitchen hoping I was stoping those glances of fear that Piper and Paige wore when they looked at me.
"What?" I said when we had assembled in the kitchen
"Are you telling me that these freaks can barge into our house and make accusations about you being some slayer!" Paige stated calmly "and your gonna believe them?" she added glowering at me, oh if only looks could kill. Piper! Paige exclaimed
Throwing her hands in the air with defeat when I stayed quiet staring at them annoyance clear on my face
"Phoebe" Piper started "you know better than that, to trust strangers, they could be demons…"
"Or they could be telling the truth." I resorted. "Paige you had a past life that came back and bit you in the butt! Who says that it isn't the same for me with them, huh?" I finished.
"Well I don't know, I read a poem that was a spell she stated and when I didn't reply she continued, these guys just showed up without warning, you know, I think that warrants suspicion if nothing else does!" Paige claimed.
I studied the kitchen, my thoughts were going haywire, how could I have gone from a complete stranger, who wasn't trusted, to being a special family member to Piper and Paige so soon after they lost Prue? How can they all of a sudden just say your family, and by the way, the people standing in the kitchen are demons, when in reality there are no facts to support this? I looked around for anything that could help me win and finding nothing I finally replied in a broken voice
"I had a premonition…"
The silence was uncomfortable; I continued looking anywhere but at them, the potion cabinet, the sink with its leaking tap, the basement door when a light suddenly went off in my head. It was as if it had all clicked into place and there was no way that they could wriggle out of this one….
"Cole!" I exclaimed with so much enthusiasm that both Piper and Paige jumped at my sudden change of heart, they looked at me stupidly "Cole" I stated again, "if I really was a slayer then Cole would know in my premonition Giles said…."
"Whose Giles?" both Piper and Paige asked
"The old guy" I replied starting to get annoyed "he was the one from the premonition." As I stated this both Piper and Paige leaned to the left looking through the door at 'the old man', they leaned back disgusted looks on their faces
"The man in the tweed?" Piper asked while Paige stated
"The one that the fashion police should put away, that's a major offence!"
"Yes" I replied venom dripping off the word, but if they noticed it they chose to ignore it "anyway, Giles said I was the chosen one who stoped the spread of evil, so that would mean demons!" I finished-my enthusiasm returning, not only could I determine my past but I also had a reason to talk to Cole again, after Piper and Paige said they didn't trust him Cole had disappeared from my life stealing my heart away at the same time.
"Phoebe he's been gone for 6 months what makes you think he's going to come if you summon him?" Piper said gently, she knew Cole was a delicate subject and therefore treaded carefully around it.
"Come on please?" I said giving them the puppy eyes,
"Oh no you don't.'' Piper exclaimed
"Pa-leeeeeees" I said with my eyes to Paige. 2 minutes passed and no one said anything I began to lose hope when suddenly Paige said
"Ok" she looked at Piper who nodded but I thought I could see a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.
"Magic forces black and white, reaching out through space and light, be he far or be he near, bring us the demon Belthazor here." We finished reciting the spell off the small crinkled piece of paper I held before me and I looked around expectantly.Coles P.O.V the underworld
The chanting began again "Magic forces black and white, reaching out through space and light, be he far or be he near, bring us the demon Belthazor here." I could feel it begin to over power me tugging at my flesh, at my bones. I snarled grabbing on to the rock face as I said over and over
"I can fight it"……..but I couldn't. I felt myself begin to disperse, I could see the Halliwell kitchen flash before me and then I was gone, sucked in to oblivion and it hurt, my flesh tore and burst making me scream in horror and pain and the whole world was spinning
Halliwells P.O.VThere was a crack of thunder so loud that it bought Giles the tweed man and the rest of the yet unknown group at a run, they burst through the kitchen door to be met with a swirling mass that was ripping the kitchen apart, they stood there as if rooted to the ground in fear watching the mass turn over on the spot getting faster, tugging at clothes and hair until it finally came to a gradual stop. Standing there amiss the wreckage was Cole, he stared at me surprise written all over him and he finally spoke "Phoebe."
