Chapter 1: The Aftermath
Billie wasn't coping, not only was her sister dead, but she killed her. She knew of only one person who could guide her now, she just hoped he could still be found at the dry cleaners or she had nowhere else to look. When she arrived, there was only one sign up on the window, it read:
'Closed for reservation, new ownership'.
"Shit!" Billie was stressed, she couldn't come up with of anything else, then suddenly she heard a toot, so she turned around to see a familiar car, it was Paige.
"Hey you," she screamed from the car, "Where have you been, we've been trying to reach you for weeks?" Billie explained how she was just trying to find answers, as soon as she finished, Paige invited her over for dinner, Billie went to say no, until she had a thought, 'The Book of Shadows', she jumped in.
Dinner was a big reunion with the sisters, Copp, Henry, Leo and the boys. But now with the three sisters married and happy, Billie felt so out of place, with no family of her own; all through dinner the sisters chatted away to Billie not seeming to notice that she barely responded; just as they finished their mains Billie couldn't take stand it anymore.
"Listen, I'm worn-out, do you mind if I have a flick though the book before I go?" Phoebe smiled, not believing she even had to ask.
"Of course, knock yourself out, remember our door are always open, anytime, even just to talk about things," Billie returned the smile and stood up to take her plate to the kitchen until Piper stopped her.
"You sure you don't want to stay for dessert? We've got heaps of movies and a spare room, you could stay the night?" she suggested, with a hopeful look, but Billie shook her head.
"Not today, but thanks." As she rejected, she started to walk to the kitchen quickly before anyone could stop he again.
Billie walked up the stairs, remembering how the last time her intentions were to vanquish the sisters, she started to sniffle. When she opened 'The Book of Shadows' she found a note, it was in Piper's handwriting. She opened it, it was a spell, one to vanquish two powerful sister witches. She burst into tears, after a couple of minutes Paige entered and came up to Billie and just held her.
"You told me thing would get better, but nothing has changed, Christy's still dead!" she burst into tears again.
"I know it's hard, we all know." Billie shook her head.
"No, your parents died in a car accident, you didn't kill them." Paige looked at her,
"Listen you're a good person, you don't deserve this." Paige stopped for a second to think of what to say next, "You said you wanted to find Lo Pa? Use a summoning spell" she flipped though some pages in the book until she found the spell she wanted, "now combined this spell, with that and it should work." Billie took some piece of paper and a pen and wrote the spell down, she was ready.
The next day Billie woke up quite early (she stayed in an apartment at the moment, because she dropped out of College.) she got out the spell and read it out loud.
"Spirits, though the wind,
Give me the way to a soul,
He who's helped me once before,
Please help me to start a new,"
The spell seemed to work, because blue light flashed through the room at high speed, then all of a sudden, without warning the light vanished and a figure appeared, Billie was so happy that she jumped into his arms and just cried, after a while she explained why she summoned him, he looked at her in confusion.
"But I don't understand why you called me," Billie look at him in disbelief.
"You seem to understand me more than anyone, you helped me find Christy," He shook his head,
"No, you did that on your own; I merely helped you find a way." Billie smiled, she had caught him.
"Exactly, I only want you to merelyhelp me find a way, again" he paused.
"You mean a way to find Christy?" Billie chuckled,
"No, to help me find a new life and to leave the past behind me," He nodded in acknowledgement.
"Ok then, sit down and we'll begin," Billie sat on the cleared floor and closed her eyes, "Now, tell me why you miss Christy, wasn't she evil?" his facial expression stayed the same.
"No!" She yelled immediately, "Well, ok she was, but she was my sister, my big sister and I just watched them take her and turn her into tha…" Lo Pa interrupted.
"And your parents?" Billie gasped, as her eyes started to get watery even though they were still closed tight.
"They killed them, to turn me, and…"she paused, trying not to cry, "And, well they're dead now, you know I just want it to be as it was before with mum, dad, Christy and me all together, one happy family, again!" Billie felt the room starting to tremble as she said the last few words, she put her head against her knees in terror, as if the walls were going to cave in on her, but unexpectedly the tremble stopped and she opened her eyes, she seemed to be in her bed, but not the one in her apartment, the one she slept in as a child, then she heard a voice.
"Billie, you're not getting away with not brushing your teeth, little missy." She knew that voice, but just couldn't say for sure, until she turned around to see…
"Dad?"
