***It's Never Over ***
Chapter 1: Life goes on
Christy's agonizing screams still echoed in the room. The scorch mark said she was gone but the feel in the room said otherwise. Even though the battle between the two had caused a rift in their friendship, any hatred the sisters had toward the Ultimate Power vanished when they saw Billie crying her heart out for the last family she had. They had, after all, only been pawns in the Triads' plans. Billie had fought her own blood trying to make things right, proving herself and earning the chance at a friendship again.
Seeing the battle had officially ended with Good winning once again, a sense of urgency overcame the sisters. Had the future changed back to normal? Paige motioned for Piper and Phoebe to grab a hold of her, but Phoebe had other plans she needs to know she has someone
"Billie… I-"
At that moment the angel of Destiny orbed in, if you can call it that. "Billie you must come with me."
After about the third try, Billie seemed to snap out of her stupor and turned to the Angel. "Why?" Her eyes showed nothing. Who could blame her; she had just lost the sister she spent so much time searching for.
"We must discuss your dest-"
"She just lost her last living relative and you want to talk about her destiny? Can't she have some time to grieve?" the vast emotion shown by Phoebe surprised everyone.
"Phoebe we should leave them to talk…" Piper reasoned. She had just possibly saved her husband and soul mate and as much as it pained her to leave Billie with the Angel, Piper couldn't handle not knowing if all was right with the world once again.
"Phoebe in all due respect, this is none of your concern. Your destiny has been fulfilled, that is what you wanted, was it not?"
Phoebe couldn't stop worrying about Billie, she looked so vulnerable. "Billie, why don't you come with us?" she shot the Angel a dangerous glare, "Anything you need to talk about can wait." She returned her gaze to Billie before continuing, "Some sleep will do you good. "The young witch was surprised by the offer. "Phoebe I don't think I should-". Knowing where her train of thought was heading Phoebe stopped her with a stern, but loving look "We don't blame you"
"Like hell we don't" The words slipped out of Pipers mouth harsher than intended.
Billie flinched at the comment and retreated into herself. Gaining her trust was going to take a long time. Phoebe slowly walked over to her and knelt down. The Blonde's eyes averted her gaze and seemed to suddenly find Magic School's choice of floor tile quite fascinating. "Billie. Look at me." Slowly their eyes connected. "You can trust me. Come with us". Confusion crossed her eyes, but it was gone as quickly as it had appeared.
"Okay" It was soft, hesitant.
The Angel of Destiny, who unfortunately was still around, decided it was time to make her presence known once again, "Like it or not, Billie, choices were made that can only be made right one way. You know what you have to do. I will be waiting for your answer."
The deal… Billie's thoughts went back to the moment she had last seen the Angel
/flashback/
Christy's with the Triad. What do I do? The sisters were right…
Running into a dark alley, Billie called the only person she knew had the answers she needed.
"Please. I need your help."
The Angel arrived with a knowing look.
"I know why you called me and to be honest Billie, you have altered your destiny more than you know. The path you are currently taking might lead you to make a choice that you can't take back. Do you think you owe the Charmed Ones anything?"
"Of course I do. They helped me ease into magic. They protected me. They're like family…"
"You have a nice way of treating family" the Angel saw Billie's shoulders slump in shame. This will be easier than I expected. A devilish glee spread across the Angel's face before returning to its usual indifferent expression. "Would you do anything to give them peace? Let them once and for all fulfill their destiny?"
"Yes, but what is this all about? I don't understand"
"What do you think will happen when the sisters stop hunting demons?"
"Nothing out of the ordinary?"
"Who do you think will fight the demons they would have fought?" geez blondes really are slow. The Angel's patience was growing thin; it was time for one last push.
"Isn't the underworld too unorganized at the moment? You said they could retire!" Did the sisters not have a chance to live demon-free lives? The sisters had wanted it for a long time now. They deserved it.
"If you could give them their lives back, would you do anything in your power to do so? To pay them back for their time teaching you, for the trust you betrayed?"
"I ... What are you trying to tell me? Am I… am I the only one able to give them peace?" Desperation, guilt and a speck of determination could be detected in her voice.
"you'll see in time…" She'll come on her own soon. She's too guilty, perfect…
"Wait! What do I do now? Christy is wrong, but she's my sister… what do I do?"
"would you follow her into the dark?"
With that, the Angel disappeared leaving Billie with more questions than answers.
The blonde just ran, hoping it would clear her head like it usually did. Her surroundings were just a blur; she didn't care where she ended up. Time didn't matter, she found the strength to run longer and farther than she thought she ever could. She stopped abruptly to take a breather. I have to help the sisters. Only after deciding this did she realize where her feet had taken her.
After taking another breath, she walked the short distance to the door and knocked on 1329 Prescott Street.
/End of Flashback/
The two witches rose from the floor and walked over to Piper and Paige; it was time to go back to the manor, back to their own time. What did the Angel's message mean exactly?
As they saw their surroundings change, they all had the same thought in mind, I really hate all of this cryptic crap
A/N so I decided to just merge the two chapters into one since they had basically been the same scene from different point of views. I know I said I would redo the whole thing by the end of the day but I underestimated my family's influence on me... I can't believe they guilted me into leaving my room and socializing :/ it being my last 4th of July at home and all... oh well
