Chapter Three:
The Search
Hey Guys! How's it been? Short Chapter. I can't stand the time line difference between this story and the original series, but oh well.
"I can't find her or him. Is there anything else we can go on?"
"Not really," Piper said.
"What about you, Paige?"
"Me?"
"Yes, maybe you could sense the witch in her."
"No, she's not my charge I wouldn't be able to."
"But she's your niece!"
"Look, Phoebe, don't blame this on me. I'm trying to find her just as much as you."
"I'm not blaming this on you. I'm just scared."
In the underworld, Alex was locked in a crystal cage. How she desperately hated them. A man walked slowly out from the dark, showing who had kidnapped her.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"You don't remember?"
"No, I don't remember much of anything right now." Alex knew her parents and aunts would save her. She wasn't worried.
"I'm a friend." A friend? Why was that hard to believe?
"What kind of friend locks another friend in a cage?"
The demon answered by walking to one of the many crystals on the floor, and kicking it out of the way. The cage instantly broke.
"Thanks, I think."
"Your welcome."
"So why kidnap me then?" Demon didn't answer. "O.K., actually explain all of this to me, if we're really friends."
"My name's Lane. We first met when your mom started working more. You seemed pretty lonely at times. No one knows or knew we hang out. Your family would vanquish me in a second, if I gave them the chance. I heard rumors that you had regained your memory back from another life. I just wanted to see if it was true. I knew it was true as soon as you looked at me."
"Ya, well my family's going to come after you now. To them, you kidnapped me. Besides you sounded pretty sure of yourself at the Manor."
"Ya, I did huh? That shows you how good of an actor I am. The only reason Piper's power didn't vanquish me is because I had a potion for it. They don't really need the Power of Three. In fact, if you had a good hold of your witch powers, you could vanquish me."
"And you're not scared." It was more of a question than a statement.
"Of you?" He asked. "No, I'm not scared of you. I know better. Now your aunts and mom, I'm terrified of. They've made their mark in the Underworld."
"Yes, they have. I really don't have to worry about you? Being a demon and all," Alex asked.
"No," he said and grabbed Alex's hand trigging yet another vision.
"Dude! Get out of here! My parents will be home any minute now." Alex yelled at Lane. They were at the Manor hanging out.
"Calm down, I'll shimmer out of here as soon as they open the door. I promise.
"O.K., but if we get caught they might just vanquish us both."
"They'd vanquish me, but not you. You're family."
"Hello? They vanquished my mom's ex-husband. Before he was an ex."
"Yea, I know. I gotta go. They're coming." And he shimmered away.
"Believe me now?" Lane asked.
"How'd you do that?"
"Believe me now?"
"Yes, but you need to take me back home. That way I can prevent them from killing you."
"O.K., fair enough," he held his hand out, "lets go." Moments later Alex was back at the Manor. "See you later, Alex."
"Bye, Lane."
Alex ran back upstairs. She had no idea what was about to happen.
LizardMomma - I have to thank you for reviewing on almost every Chapter of this story and Destiny Sucks. So Thank You! The timeline issue is the fact that Wyatt is suppose to be oldest, but Alex is in this one (Even though, Coop doesn't meet Phoebe until Season 8.) I wanted this story to follow the original timeline, but it didn't work out.
