I'M BACK BABY!
Well I didn't actually GO anywhere, but i have been sidetracked lately with my anime.
Gotta love the anime.
Anyways if you like charmed/supernatural crossovers you should check out my other story I Know My Place it's No-Where You Should Roam.
And if you like Naruto you should check out My Insides Are Copper, I'd Kill To Make Them Gold, just wrote it for a bit of fun
Anyways this chapter is a bit angsty and revealing (yay! We're getting into it), but also very fun to write.
Read and review?
Kthanks

Paige was not having a good time.
She liked Dean, really liked Dean.
But there was something off about it
It might be the fact that they had been dating for three weeks and he still hadn't kissed her.
Or maybe it was the fact that he seemed to be not attracted to her at all.
So instead they just talked on their dates.
And that was all good for a time butt after a while there was just nothing left to talk about.
But Dean didn't seem to get that.
'So... this place is good' said Paige, trying to start some conversation.
'Oh yeah, it always is...' Dean replied, without thinking.
'Didn't it just open?' Paige inquired
Dean seemed caught off guard at that.
'Oh right yeah, I meant Tai food always is... good... you know?'
Keep on your game man! Dean thought she can't suspect anything...
'Yeah, I guess it is' said Paige. Something was up here... 'Where did you say you were from?'
'San Francisco lived here my whole life. But you knew that right?
Then he smiled.
He had a great smile.
It had the ability to make Paige, and no doubt millions of other people (men and women) melt.
Yeah. A great smile.
But this one was a little different.
This one had a message.
It seemed to say,
You wouldn't forget anything would you?
Almost like, if you did you would break his heart.
'Of course not' replied Paige 'so, are you going to kiss me yet?'
Dean seemed a bit embarrassed by the question.
'I uuh thought... that... Ahh maybe it's a little soon?'
'It's been three weeks...'
'Well I like taking it slow'
Dammit! You should've thought this through a bit better Dean Thought furiously.
Paige looked into his blue eyes; they were really pretty, extremely deep and mysterious. Actually they reminded Paige of someone... but she couldn't work out whom.
'Maybe I should go...' started Paige
'No! Please don't...' said Dean 'I want to show you somewhere.'
Moving plan foreword a bit, shouldn't matter thought Dean

Aries sat on the bed in the spare room of the manor.
When did things get this messed up? She thought how is that baby connected to anything?
'Aries?' came Phoebe's voice from down the stairs
Leave me alone thought Aries furiously
But although Phoebe was an empath she was not a mind reader, so she barged in anyway.
'Aries? I thought we should try a memory restoring spell' said Phoebe, now in the room.
Aries looked up at her.
'I suppose it couldn't hurt...' she said
Phoebe smiled
'Great!' she said 'It's a power of three spell so you should probably come down stairs.'
Aries was puzzled.
A power of three spell? Surely a simple memory charm wouldn't need a power of three spell... she thought, and then wait a sec, what the Eck is a power of three spell? How do I recognize this? Who am I?
But neither the less she trudged after Phoebe as she walked down the stairs, humming to herself a song that sounded vaguely familiar to Aries.
'Phoebe... what song are you humming?'
Phoebe stopped walking for a minute, a puzzled look on her face.
'You know I really have no idea. I've just had it in my head all day. Must've heard it on the radio. Hey! Music! I hadn't thought of that! It might help with restoring your memory'
'Yeah I guess it might' Aries thought hard, trying desperately to remember if she liked music, and if so what type.
But she still couldn't remember anything.
'Its ok' said Phoebe 'we'll help you get your memory back, you're not alone in this'
Oh sure, now she can read minds! Thought Aries bitterly
'What is taking you guys so long?' yelled Piper from the living room
'Sorry Piper!' Phoebe called out, 'got a little sidetracked. Be right there!'
Piper looked less than impressed when they finally emerged into the living room.
'Glad to see you could make it, I'd offer you a drink but I'm pretty sure everything in the fridge is expired by now' she said, annoyed.
'What's riding up your butt?' asked Phoebe
Piper sighed.
'I don't know' she said 'I just... I have a bad feeling about Paige.'
'Why?' asked Phoebe
'I don't know... it's just... this Dean guy, she said that he'd lived in San Francisco all his life, how come we've never met him before? Or seen him around?'
Phoebe snorted.
'Piper about 25000 people (1) live in San Francisco. It's a fairly big city...'
'Yeah I guess... I dunno there's just something about him.'
'Hmmm you sound like Paige...'
'Oh shut it, are we doing this thing or what?'
'Wait a sec; don't we need the power of three?'
'Well no, not really. Anyway Paige isn't here so we will have to make due. If it doesn't work we can try again when Paige is here, can't we?'
'I suppose so...' said Phoebe. 'Ok what's the spell?'
Piper held out the piece of paper with the spell written on it and they read it out together.
I call among the ancient power
to help me in my darkest hour
for whom who's past we cannot see
bless her with her memory
Aries was hit with a sharp pain in her mind and heart as millions of images suddenly swarmed her mind, terrible images. Killing, bleeding, dying, buildings being destroyed, families ripped apart. A blonde man with an evil glint in his eye, a brunette boy with beautiful green eyes and a warm smile that so perfectly matched her own. She saw the two women standing in front her being ripped to shreds by a frightening blast of blue lightning. She cried out in agony as she remembered the pain and loss.
The suffering.
The hopelessness.
All the things that had been forgotten. All the horrible images that had been so tightly hidden away in the back of her mind, now all of a sudden coming back and torturing her in the cruellest way possible.
Taunting her with their screams of terror and visions of horror.
Aries couldn't take it.
If remembering was this bad then she didn't want to remember.
'REVERSE IT!' she screamed in terror 'TAKE IT BACK! TAKE IT BACK!'
Piper gave Phoebe a worried glance as she struggled to think of a reversal.
End my interference
reverse this hell
release this girl
from my spell
Suddenly the images were gone and Aries collapsed in a heap on the ground.
Phoebe took a cautious step towards the distraught girl, but Piper held her back with a shake of her head and an arm across her waist and Phoebe stayed where she was standing. Watching Aries as she fought her own not-so-silent battle, praying that her spell had worked and she was once again oblivious to everything, but also hoping that it hadn't so that this mystery could be solved once and for all.
Aries was sobbing relentlessly. The image of a single young boy with startling green eyes and a warm smile still fresh in her mind as she slipped into unconsciousness.
