WELCOME ONCE MORE

Chapter One: Charmed Meeting

Killian Jones awoke with voices in his head. He tried to fully open his eyes but he felt as if his lids were weighed down by buckets of sand. He was only able to manage slits on either side. He could make out three forms, he could tell they were feminine but their specific features were a blur.

He thought about trying to signal them that he was conscious but thought better of it. Perhaps he should try to catch what they were saying first. Determine whether they were friend or foe. Not that he could do much in his present weakened condition even, if they were enemies. "What the hell had happened to him?" he wondered. At the moment his short term memory was blank. Even more reason to eavesdrop on the trio. He tuned into their conversation.

"Quit ogling the sexy pirate, we have work to do!"

"Phoebe, is it my imagination or did Piper get really bossy while I was gone?"

"Please you have no idea, she was actually worse than you!"

"Hey!" two of the voices chimed in unison.

"Kidding, .kind of and I wasn't' ogling the sexy pirate, I'm a happily married woman. "

"Then what were you doing?"

"I was just admiring the light's fine craftsmanship and looking for any family resemblance to my beloved."

"Good one about the craftsmanship Pheebs! I'll have to remember that one on John! The resemblance to our guys is there, just not identical this time."

"Thank all the Gods!"

"Piper, don't you like the way our husbands look?"

"Oh please you know better than that, they're gorgeous but it's getting a little confusing now that there are three identical faces in the house."

"It was your idea to invite Christian to live in the manor."

"Alright so he's kind of an ass, but he's your husbands' cousin, that makes him family, and besides he saved me, remember?"

"She's kind of got a few good points!"

"Thank You, now can we get on with this before I forget the words to the healing spell Leo gave me."

"Yes," Killian thought, get on with it please! Wait a minute healing spell? Where they some kind of witches? God he hoped they weren't friends of Zelena.

"So what are we going to tell him when he wakes up?"

"That he hit his head right?"

"That never works and you know it!"

The three of them started to argue again.

Killian couldn't take it another minute. Screw eaves dropping.

"Ladies, Ladies, I certainly find your conversation about my physical attributes entertaining and understandable. However though my memory is a bit foggy at the moment, I'm quite sure I didn't hit my head, but you're giving me a sizeable pain in it, with all the bickering. Sister's right?"

"Right, sorry about that! You're awake! The one standing to the left said.

"Aye"

They all came closer to his bedside as he finally managed to get his eyes all the way open!

Lifting his remaining hand to scratch his head, he said "or maybe not. Perhaps I did hit my head or I fell asleep on the Charming's couch watching reruns of Charlie's Angels, and now I'm dreaming! Have to lay off that rum after all Kilian, old boy."

"That's right! We are Charlie's Angels. She's Sabrina, She's Kelly, and I'm Jill."

"How come you get to be Farrah?" the one with the long brown hair asked.

Before the lighter brunette could reply Killian cleared his throat. "My apologies for the second interruption but can we get back to the matter at hand, pardon the pun."

My name is Phoebe Halliwell Turne, Piper Halliwell, the middle sister, and that's our older sister Prue Halliwell, she said pointing at another beauty this one with raven hair and clear blue eyes.

Prue spoke: "and though we are not Charlie's Angels, we are the Charmed Ones."

Killian shook his head, "I'm sorry but is that supposed to mean something to me?"

"No you don't know us, but you will and you will come to love us like family, at least I'd like to think so," Phoebe replied. You're related to Prue and myself, in a distant way, through marriage."

"I am?"

"You are! Prue assured him, "but there will be plenty of time later to discuss genealogy, if you are really interested. Right now it's other answers you'll probably appreciate more. So now that the old you hit your head ploy is out, and you know you are not dreaming or drunk, it's time to tell you the truth. I'm warning you it's a bit hard to believe."

"After the life I've led and the things I've seen there's not much I'd find hard to believe I assure you!"

"Okay but don't say you weren't warned. Let's start with where you are. You're in the new Halliwell Manor on Mount Olympus" Piper explained.

"Excuse me, but did you just say Mount Olympus? As in the Mount Olympus?"

"Yep! Told you it was going to be hard to believe and it gets harder!"

Phoebe continued: "All three of us were born, half human, half witch and on earth we were the three most powerful good witches ever born, because we possessed the Power of Three! We didn't find that out till we were adults and had no idea even more would be revealed to us, for instance the original source of our powers."

"It turns out our line on our mother's side can be traced back to Zeus , Hera, and their descendants. Not to mention, Piper's husband Leo is a descendent of the Norse Gods, and our husband's your distant relatives are descended from the gods of ancient Ireland which you are too."

"Me, no you must be mistaken?"

"But, we aren't."

" I have no powers"

"Not precisely true. Haven't you ever wondered how you've managed to survive all that you've been through?"

"Good fortune, dumb luck, whichever you prefer", he shrugged.

"Nope, magic!" Piper corrected him.

Killian admitted to himself they'd been right before. He was finding this all hard to believe. Then he remembered something.

"But magic comes with a price? What is it I'm expected to pay?"

"That may have been what you were told honey, but that's a myth spread by the dark side to try and keep more of the servants of the light from accepting their powers."

Phoebe nodded. When we lived as Wiccans on earth we practiced the creed, that we can live as we want as long as we harm none, use our powers only for the good of others, and not for personal gain.. We pretty much still live by those rules here except Zeus is not such a stickler on the personal gain part as the Elders were, and so far the Light seems to be okay with that."

"Elders? The Light?"

"Don't look at us to explain that part. We are as clueless as you. All we know is all that is good in all the worlds comes from the Light and we were born to protect his/her/it's creations. We are all guardians of sorts."

"That's how you came to be here. We brought you. You see every descendant of the immortals has a guardian goddess or god appointed to them at birth. Mine is Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Part of my duties here is to help her and the rest of our team assist the course of true love on earth, when we are allowed. Sometimes for reasons unknown we are told we have to let fate run its course. However, sometimes when two true loves either through their own mistakes or someone else's deliberate interference get set on paths away from each other, we kind of give them a helping hand from above, and point them back in the right direction, towards each other. Then there are times we are allowed to take extra ordinary steps if evil forces are involved, and in your case they certainly were.

We saw what was about to happen to your Emma and my husband Cole and I felt we had no other choice. We consulted with Aphrodite, Erin, Cupid and Psyche and they agreed. Aphrodite got Zeus' and Morrighan's permission and we brought you, Emma, her son Henry, and her parents and baby brother here. Well at least part of you, your immortal halves. Your mortal ones are still on Earth.

"Mortal half, immortal half, I'm confused, and what of our mortal side then?"

"We were told your mortal halves futures have to be decided by your own choices & potential fates."

"I'd ask why but I'm willing to bet your answer would be, you don't know."

"You catch on quick.

We only know that the human and immortal halves can be separated into two individuals, we have no idea how, only that Zeus found away so he could be reunited with his son Hercules' immortal half here on Olympus.

But Emma, Henry, her brother and parents are they gods and goddesses too?

"Mary Margaret was born from and Olympian line and David from the Norse," all their descendants bear the blood of both."

"So that's where Emma's magic came from?"

"You got it Dude."

"But how come her parents have no magic?"

"Well personally I think true love is pretty magical but that aside not every descendant is given power on earth, only ones that for some reason are chosen by the fates. Some have it but simply refuse to acknowledge it, it's hard to explain.

"After the whole Salem thing I don't blame the ones who wanted to keep their powers hidden," Piper said softly.

"So say I accept all you are telling me, where do we go from here and when can I see Emma, where is she?"

She's being seen to by other members of our family," Piper assured him.

"Seen to, she's hurt? I have to go to her, "he tried to stand up too quickly and fell back to the bed.

"Stay down there fella," Phoebe admonished him.

"Physically she's fine," the one called Prue said. It's just we have to make sure… she hesitated.

"Make sure of what?" he demanded.

"That Cole was able to keep the demon from possessing any part of her immortal soul before Hercules could perform the separation rite."

"Demon what demon?"

"You're memory of what happened right before the separation has been swept temporarily clean. We wanted you to rest soundly and recover from you journey from earth to here without the added worry and trauma about what was/is still happening down there. The trip in itself can take a lot out of a person.

"Look your strangers, but you seem harmless enough and I can see kindness in your eyes. I'm not sure, however, I like not knowing what happened in my own life."

"Oh believe us, we get that it's why I said temporarily,"

"but there's a catch, " Phoebe spoke up.

"Isn't there always?"

"Usually! Unfortunately, you will know what happened before you came here, but you are not going to be allowed to know what's happening to your human half from now on, until he dies on earth and returns to the Elysian fields or Ere's version of it, whichever is chosen. Too much chance you'd try to interfere when we've been forbidden to."

"Can't deny that but I still don't have to like it."

"No one says you have to like it, you just have to accept it, and hope for the best down there, but in the meantime up here you, Emma, the rest of her family are protected. You are going to have an even better chance to have what you've dreamed of having without outside interference!" Prue told him.

"You mean like malevolent authors?"

"Well I think Prue was probably thinking demons, but yeah those scheming little backstabbing, cre." Phoebe sputtered to a stop as Prue put her arm around her shoulders.

"Phoebe has her own issues with malevolent authors, but now is not the time to deal with personal family issues right?"

Killian thought Phoebe's face looked mutinous but she hushed.

"Family issues?"

"Our half –sister, Paige but let's not talk about her she's not exactly a popular topic with any of us," Piper clued him in.

"Understood, so when can I find Emma, and what happens to us now that we're here?

"You can see your lady, as soon as we get the all clear, and then there's to be a family council. In the meantime, I will be back with some sustenance. You'll enjoy my cooking," Piper said as she orbed out.

"Hook, you're not in Storybrook anymore," he said to himself.

Prue and Phoebe started laughing, "Good one!"

"I don't get it?"

"Well Pheebs look like your Modern Culture Class for the Clueless, just got a new student."

"Don't worry you'll fit right in," Phoebe said patting him on the back.

When Piper returned with his meal, the sisters left him in peace. He didn't think he was hungry and he wanted to find Emma, and the others but maybe it wouldn't hurt to build up his strength first and the meal did smell divine. So he dug in. Food of the gods indeed he thought!
