Hey Everyone,
So this is the remake of TRTUTC and I hope people enjoy it as much as they did with the original. If you haven't read the original it doesn't matter because I will obviously be adding and changing the story slightly. To those who have read it don't worry the storyline and characters will be the same but I may be changing small details to make it flow better. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Charmed characters. I only own the ones made up for the purpose of this story!
The Rare, The Ultimate and The Charmed: Redux
Billie was nervous, anyone would be in her position, in front of her sat the three sisters. It was finally Judgement day. The big fight had been three days ago, none of them had really wanted to think about it but they had to get the air cleared and with everything now settling down it was the perfect moment. The college student looked at each sister and hoped something told her what they were feeling. Each of them clearly felt something different. Paige, who was sat to the left, looked at her with a mixture of concern and disappointment. Phoebe, who was sat to the right, looked at her with sympathy and understanding. Piper, who was seated between her sisters, only showed one emotion, anger. Seeing the anger and disappointment on the youngest and eldest sisters' faces made Billie drop her eyes to the floor, she knew she deserved whatever they were going to throw her way. She couldn't help the small part of her that felt annoyed that her actions against her own sister hadn't dispelled those emotions. The blonde witch knew she didn't have the right to have even that small part of her, she wasn't allowed to feel annoyed not after her actions had led to the sister's lives being turned upside down or ended by her hand. She wanted to atone for being evil, no matter the punishment.
"How could you honestly believe we were the evil ones?" Phoebe spoke up first; she always had hated awkward silences. Billie just shrugged, she really didn't have a good excuse for believing the lies she had been fed. No that wasn't true she did have a good excuse but she didn't want that to excuse her actions. She should have known deep down that they weren't evil; they had been so good to her. Phoebe leant forward in her seat to try and get Billie to look at her "Is it so wrong for us to want a normal life?" Phoebe truly wanted to know if Billie saw it that way, she was just so worn down by all the hurt and death she had encountered and seen in the last eight years.
Billie couldn't look the empath in the eye as she answered "No," she whispered hoarsely. No wanting a normal life was nothing to be ashamed about, the sisters had lasted all these years with all of this hurt; she couldn't blame them, not anymore. Phoebe could feel what the younger witch was going through, she could sympathise to a certain extent. Prue had died because of her, she kept Leo in the underworld with her, and even though she felt responsible for Prue's death she didn't actual kill her sister with her own hands. Billie had, Billie had killed Christy with her sisters own magic by deflecting it.
Paige spoke up next "I tried to help you Billie, at first you were just my charge but you became my friend. Half the time you didn't want to know, you just wanted to find Christy. I understood that Billie, I really did but you were pretty reckless. You believed we were evil and turned everyone against us by manipulating us. Do you know what manipulation feels like?" Paige asked seriously, her perkiness was nowhere in sight.
Flinching away from the question Billie shakily nodded "Yes," she managed to hold back her tears long enough to croak the answer to the question. She didn't want to talk but she owed it to the sisters to answer when she was spoken too. If Paige's question and words hurt she dreaded to think about what Piper would say or ask.
The eldest sister sighed as she thought about what the actually say to Billie. She wanted to scream and throw a massive hissy fit but she knew it wouldn't be very mature or productive "I don't want to trust you Billie, I want to hate you but it seems I'm not capable of doing that but I'm pissed, you didn't believe us and you willing went along with the Triad and your sister to try and kill us, because of you my son's powers were taken away and my Husband was taken from me again" Piper narrowed her eyes at the youngest witch.
Billie finally looked up and this time it was to defend herself "I didn't have a choice Piper" Piper scoffed but she was far from deterred "I was put under a spell to believe everything they told me and because I wanted to be with Christy it made me susceptible, would you believe me if I told you your sister was evil Piper, if our roles were reversed huh? To think that the people you had come to love were trying to take you away from your only family, answer me Piper!" The sisters weren't shocked that Billie had finally snapped and shouted at them, they had been expecting it seeing as Piper had when Prue died. Piper was the first to move she approached Billie, who flinched at her proximity, and she grabbed her in a hug.
Piper hugged Billie tight knowing she needed comforting; her anger at her was fading fast, "You're right Billie I wouldn't have believed you and I know what it's like to lose family and I know what it's like to feel guilty about killing a sister, I felt like it was my fault that Prue died but Billie it was self defence you couldn't just stand there and let her kill us. You saved us, Thank you." Piper pulled back just a bit from Billie and placed a motherly kiss on to Billie's forehead
Those kinds words and acts were Billie's undoing. She crumbled to her knees and she brought Piper with her, she gripped the older witch as she cried. Paige and Phoebe soon joined them and together they soothed the distraught Billie. The sisters weren't stupid, they knew that this was only the first step in Billie getting herself back, she had a while to go before she would even accept the fact that she hadn't been the cause of her sisters demise; sure she had used her powers to deflect her sisters magic but Christy had been long gone before Billie had even found her. Christy had probably been gone for nearly 15 years, that was just a tortured facade of Christy, she was far more demon that she was human during those last moments. Billie hadn't found her sister at all in the end.

Henry was sat at his desk looking around slightly bewildered, normally he would look like that seeing as he was sat at his own desk. It wasn't the fact that he was sat at his desk that confused him but more along the lines of what was on his desk. A single folder, not a probation folder, no it was a case file of a fifteen year old girl whose foster mother was suspected of beating her. Now the folder itself wasn't the cause of his bewilderment by itself, it was the fact that he had removed it from his desk everyday for the last week. He was starting to suspect that it wasn't something supernatural, he no longer believed in coincidence. Looking around slyly he noticed no-one was paying him any mind; he grabbed his bag and slowly slipped the case file in. He would have a look through it later; something clearly thought his help was needed.

Coop hearted in to the Manor and went straight upstairs to find Phoebe, he knew where she would be; after all he controlled her heart. He found his girlfriend sitting on the edge of Billie's bed absently stroking the teenager's hair, he really disliked the fact that Phoebe was anywhere near the backstabbing bitch. He didn't really care that she was comforting her, no it was far more serious than that. It was the fact that Phoebe was actually feeling something. Billie was dangerous to him, no physically but she was dangerous in the fact that she was pulling a head in their fight for Phoebe's affection. Neither of the witches knew that they each had the same feelings, he thanked the elders, and certainly neither of them knew that he knew about their mutual feelings. How could he not, he was a Cupid after all. He wanted Phoebe and he was going to get her, no matter how the two witched felt about each other. All he needed to do was add a little friction to their everyday lives and force them to spend less time together. He had the perfect thought.
Phoebe felt her heart suddenly slow to a normal pace; her heart had been beating frantically since Billie had cried herself hoarse and fallen asleep. Piper and Paige suggested that she be the one to look after the witch for a while, just to make sure that she didn't suffer from nightmares. She looked over her shoulder and smiled when she saw Coop, her heart always calmed down when he was around and the confusing feels just melted away like they had never existed. She just knew that the calmness was Coop's presence, he stabilised her and for that she was thankful. She looked back over to Billie and couldn't help the frown that crept into her lips, all of those confusing feelings Coop calmed were all because of the teenager in front of her. She had felt something for Billie since she had first seen her; she just never knew what those feelings were. She didn't ponder those thoughts anymore, she stood up slowly so she didn't jolt the bed and walked over into Coops arms and waited as he hearted them away into the safe confines of her Condo. Away from the confusing feelings and confusing thoughts.
