So this is my first story in years and it's my first Bering and Wells fic so please be nice :P
It's an AU based on the Charmed season 6 story line and I hope you'll like it.
it's a bit short I know, but it is the prologue. Next chapter will be longer!
I want to thank my beta for helping me out, I really appreciate it! (:
And I don't own anything, If I did, Bering and Wells would be canon. And season 5 wouldn't be the last.
Prologue
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, SOUTH DAKOTA , 2030 – Emma knew she had no other option, even though her mother warned her about this, she simply had no other choice. Things could go horribly wrong if she made as much as one small mistake but everything was better than the hell she was living in now, never knowing when she would lose her parents, just like she lost her brother. She had to do something!
The past few years had been hard, the constant loss of people around you, living in constant fear, waiting for your inevitably cruel and painful end, it was taking a toll on everybody.
Her mother was the first to fall, struggling against the constant stress, pain and memories. Until one day she simply couldn't take it anymore and broke. After her mother, came her uncle who couldn't bear to see all the pain of the world and after him it simply didn't stop, everyone around her slowly fell apart or was taken by him.
Him. The mastermind behind it all. A puppet master who craved power and control, those who tried to fight him faced a horrible death or worse. She had watched people fall to his power, strangers and people close to her. No one can hide, when he wants you he'll take you no matter how hard you try to hide. It surprises her how long she has lasted, after all these years he never once made a move to take her. It wasn't a thing she was particularly happy about. From the big family she had once had, there were only 3 left. The only positive thing about still being alive and somewhat free was that she was able to execute her plan.
Emma took a deep breath and closed her eyes, mentally remembering everything important to her. She saw her family, friends, faces she wouldn't dare forget and was reminded of why she was taking such a big risk doing this. When she opened her eyes she knew it was time.
She quietly opened her bedroom door and stepped into the hallway. It was completely silent, there was a time where the house would be filled with laughter, screaming, yelling and the occasional explosion followed by an 'I'm okay' or another scream from her mother assuring everyone else that she was fine. Gods she missed those times. What she wouldn't give to hear those sounds, to hear her brother's laughter or her parent's bickering. How many times had she stood the same way, with her eyes closed just imagining the sounds. When her mother would catch her, she would give her a sad smile and a small shake off her head. In the beginning her mother would join her and they would talk about what they were hearing and they would laugh. But it had been months since she'd had a happy conversation with her mother. Thinking about it, she realised that she hadn't even seen her mother in 3 days, let alone talk to her. Her mother mostly stayed locked up in her bedroom. Only coming out to eat and drink, and even those rare moments were happening less. She probably won't even notice I'm gone, the girl though bitterly.
She took one look at the door of her mother's bedroom and resisted the urge to take one last look. She knew that if she opened that door, she would crawl in her mother's bed and never come out. She walked towards the stairs and slowly made her way down. She walked into the kitchen and placed the letter she had written for her mother explaining why she left, on the kitchen table.
When she turned around she was met with a pair of dark all knowing eyes. She had expected that she would see the woman before she left, she didn't know how, but that woman simply knew everything.
The woman looked old and tired and her eyes were full of pain. For the first time the girl realised that the woman was not as invincible as she seemed. This scared Emma. The woman had always been a rock for the girl and her slowly decreasing family, she was always there when the girl or anyone for that matter needed her and she always helped you. Whenever Emma would think about her family the woman was always right in the middle, keeping the family together. Seeing the woman this vulnerable made the girl realise that no one was immune to the loss and pain they had been through. And she wondered that if this woman wasn't strong enough, how could she possibly be.
"You know I'm the only one who can do this." Emma said to the woman and the woman nodded.
"I'm not here to stop you. I'm here to wish you luck" was the woman's reply. "Oh and don't forget; no one can know who you are."
Emma nodded "As if I would forget something as important than that!"
"I'm simply warning you, others have tried what you are doing and they failed miserably."
"They weren't me." Emma replied
"Don't you think you're being a little too confident? " The woman asked with a small smile
"With my genes, how can I not be." Emma smiled back
"Let's hope you're right, for everybody's sake. " The serious look on the woman's face returning, the smile that graced her lips seconds earlier completely disappearing.
"Let's." Emma said and with that she walked out of the kitchen and towards her car.
When she looked back the dark eyed woman was standing in the doorway to make sure that she was actually continuing her plan. The girl gave a small wave then turned around got into her car and drove towards her destination.
Please let me know what you think and maybe leave some ideas behind any help is welcome!
