Warning: I do not own the lyrics from "Runaway" by The Corrs… yah, its an older song which probably a lot of people haven't heard, but it shows what Laura does after she sees the incident…

Chapter 7- A Kiss Only Casanova Can Give…

Laura silently opened the door to her dorm room, entering to a site, which she immediately turned her back on, "Caleb, Sarah, come on!" Laura cried as she turned her back on the couple on Sarah's bed.

"Sorry!" A muffled reply from under Caleb said as Caleb got up. Laura turned back around. Caleb walked over in front of Laura, staring at her straight in the eyes.

"So you're a witch?" Caleb asked. Laura nodded, "and you're a Charmed One? What's that mean?"

"The Charmed Ones are three witches which are the greatest force of good magic in the universe…" Laura explained.

"And your powers, what are they?"

"Healing, Orbing, Eletrokinesis, Telekinesis, and Channeling," Laura replied.

"Channeling?"

"I can channel other's powers and use them…"

"Right, and Chris, is he a witch?"

"Yeah, he's a Charmed One also, him, my brother Wyatt and I are the second generation of Charmed Ones, my mom and aunts were the first generation."

"We have the Book of Damnation as a resource, what text to do you have?"

"The Book of Shadows," Laura paused and closed the door of her dorm before saying the next thing she was going to say, "I was with the Elders-"

"-The Elders?" Caleb and Sarah both asked.

"You really aren't in tune with the magic world are you?" Laura asked, "The Elders are the superiors, like the magical government for the good side." Caleb and Sarah nodded, "anyway, the Elders said I have to help you guys get arid of Chase."

"They did?" Sarah asked, Laura eyed her.

"Yes, now, there has to be some spell or curse to eliminate him so if we looked at the Books," Laura explained.

"Not tonight, we have that party at Rachel's," Caleb countered.

"Right, maybe tomorrow since it's Saturday, I can orb everybody over to my parents' place 'cause they won't let anybody take the Book out of the house."

"Yah, and I'll pick up the Book of Damnation before that, we'll all meet here at noon tomorrow alright?" Caleb asked and Laura, "and now I'm taking my leave…" Caleb opened the door and left the room.

Laura walked over to her dresser and opened it, pulling out an outfit, "what do people normally wear to parties in Ipswich?"

"I seriously have no idea…"

----------------

Laura pulled to Rachel's house in her '06 Mazda dark blue convertible with Sarah in the passenger seat. They got out and headed into the house.

Sarah was wearing a loose spaghetti strap dark blue dress with black and white Converse sneakers, and no jacket, which was really bad because it was 30 degrees outside, it was a week before Christmas. Laura was the opposite. She was wearing a halter- black corset from Hot Topic, dark jeans with a hole in knees and black boots with 2" heels. To go with the weather, Laura was wearing a black Element zipper hoodie from Pacsun.

They stepped inside to the house to noise of "Bring it (Snakes on A Plane)" by Cobra Starship and the extreme smell of smoking and alcohol. A pair of arms wrapped around Sarah's waist and Sarah turned around and kissed Caleb.

"I'm going to go find Pogue!" Laura yelled to Sarah and Caleb over the music before stuffing her hoodie in a corner and walking straight into the crowd of grinding dancers.

A hand touched Laura's shoulder and she turned around, coming face to face with Reid. Suddenly, as she looked into his blue eyes, the words of the Elder echoed in her head, what's the one's name again?

Reid, Reid Garwin…

"I wouldn't go trying to find Pogue," Reid yelled to Laura who gave him a confused look.

"Why?" Laura yelled back.

"Trust me!" Laura gave Reid a death glare.

"What the hell are you hiding Reid?!" Reid pointed to one of the walls where the site Laura saw made her see only red.

There was Pogue, sitting in a chair with Kate straddling him, both locked in a passionate lip lock. Laura's fists balled up and her eyes were starting to turn midnight black, channeling Reid's power to her.

Reid noticed this and pulled Laura outside before she could do any damage to Pogue, Kate, or anybody who crossed her path, "you alright?" Reid asked once they got into an orchard.

"Reid, I just saw my boyfriend making out with his ex who it seems is now a complete slut, would I honestly be alright?!" Laura snarled and turned to look at Reid, her eyes black. Before anything could happen, Reid wrapped his arms around Laura and pulled her close to him.

Laura's eyes returned back to normal and she cried into Reid's white t-shirt and shivering from the cold. "You know," Reid whispered in Laura's ear, "the corset you're wearing makes you look very sexy." Laura smiled slightly as Reid took off his black jacket and wrapped it around her.

Reid looked down at Laura right as a slow song came over the speakers, "wanna dance?" Reid asked and Laura nodded, letting Reid take her by the hand inside.

Say its true,

There's nothing like me and you,

I'm not alone,

Tell me you feel it too,

And I would runaway,

I would runaway yah yah,

I would runaway,

I would runaway with you,

'Cause I fallen in love,

with you, no never,

I'm going to stop falling in love,

With you…

Laura and Reid found a spot on the floor and Reid put his hands on Laura's slim waist while her put her hands around his neck, they started slowly dancing to the beat of the music…

Close the door,

And lay down upon the floor,

And by candle light,

Make love to me through the night,

'Cause I have runaway,

I have runaway, yah yah,

I have runaway,

Runaway!

I have runaway with you!

'Cause I have in love,

with you, no never,

I'm never going to stop falling in love

With you…

Laura and Reid moved closer together, Reid wrapping his arms completely around Laura's waist as Laura rested her head on Reid's chest.

With you…

I would runaway,

I would runaway yah yah,

I would runaway

I would runaway with you!

'Cause I've have fallen in love,

with you, no never

I'm going to stop falling in love,

With you…

Laura looked up at Reid when he looked down at her and they looked into each other's eyes. Reid leaned down and Laura closed her eyes, feeling Reid's lips on her's, completely forgetting that everybody would notice them kissing…

I'm fallen in love,

With you,

No never,

I'm going to stop falling in love,

With you…

With you,

With you,

With you…

Reid and Laura broke apart in time for the song to end and for them to get out of the dance floor, Reid lead Laura over to the edge of the room where Tyler was standing with a Budweiser in his hand. "I didn't what was coming over me!" Reid pleaded to Laura.

Laura smiled, "Reid, that was exactly what I needed," she put her hand on the back of Reid's neck and pulled him down to kiss him again.

"I'm afraid to know what happens when you're drunk," Reid wondered out loud.

A twinkle formed in Laura's eyes, "usually that leads to somebody's bedroom." Reid stole Tyler's Budweiser took a swig from it and gave it back from him.

"I say we get out of here," Reid stated.

"You lead the way Casanova," Laura replied and Reid grabbed her hand, leading her out of the party…

Laura opened her left eye slowly so the sunlight wouldn't completely blind her. Once her left eye was adjusted, Laura opened her right eye. The sun didn't blind her right eye, a guy's bare chest did. Laura leaned her head up to see Reid Garwin sleeping next to her, the blanket down to his waist, not showing his nakedness pass there. Laura lifted up the blanket to remember the fact that she too was completely naked. The night's activities reappeared in her mind.

Laura looked around her, noticing that this wasn't her dorm. One, there were posters of cars, girls and bands all over the room and Tyler was sleeping in the bed on the other side of the room. There was movement from next to Laura and she settled back into the cove of Reid's arm.

"Morin'" Reid mumbled to Laura who smiled at him.

"Don't tell me you're drunk after one sip of beer," Laura said and Reid smiled.

"Hell no," Reid replied and kissed Laura before sitting up.

"Pogue's going to kill you," Laura whispered.

"He is not, he was cheating on you remember?" Reid replied and put her arm around Laura's shoulders as she pulled the comforter over her upper body.

"We should get ready, we're supposed to be meeting everybody back at my dorm so I can orb you guys to my parents' place…"

An Hour Later…

Laura sat on a sofa in the attic of the Halliwell Manor, flipping through the pages of the Book of Shadows with Reid and Tyler. Caleb and Pogue were on the other side of the attic with the Book of Damnation.

"Find anything?" Laura asked.

"Nope," Caleb replied.

"Maybe the answer isn't in those books?" Phoebe Halliwell stated from her seat in at the table. It was Phoebe's turn to watch the Sons and make sure they didn't do anything.

"You know," Tyler looked up at Phoebe, "Mrs. Halliwell, we aren't evil, its just really nice that you're letting us use the Book of Shadows." Reid nudged Tyler hard in the ribs.

"Suck up!" Reid whispered to Tyler.

"Thank you Tyler, but with the experience I've had, I've learned to trust almost no one…" Phoebe replied.

"How's it going up here?" Piper asked as she came upstairs with Wyatt, Chris and girl around Laura's age.

"Who's she?" Tyler whispered to Laura.

"My cousin Pearl, she's my Aunt Phoebe's eldest," Laura replied and continued flipping through the pages. "I've got an idea!"

Everybody looked at Laura with interest, "well?" Piper asked.

"Mom, Aunt Phoebe, remember the spell to get arid of the Source?" Laura asked and Piper and Phoebe nodded, "well maybe the guys could call on their ancestors for their power to vanquish Chase!"

"That's good except for one problem Lor'," Wyatt said, "you need to be involved with the spell also." The guys all slumped their shoulders and frowned.

"You ruined my glory moment Wyatt, don't do that again," Laura snapped and went back to the book.

"I'm starving," Reid stated and Laura glared at him.

"That's sounds good, how about everybody come downstairs and have lunch?" Piper asked and all the guys got up. Wyatt, Chris, Pearl, Laura and Phoebe looked at each other in worry. Caleb looked at them.

"What's wrong?"

"My mom's a retired chef, you'll never be able to stop eating…" Laura replied and Caleb rolled his eyes and followed everybody downstairs, the only two people left in the attic were Pogue and Laura.

There was a long silence and Laura closed the Book, "I saw you and Reid kissing at the party last night," Pogue said.

"And I saw you and Kate making out at the party," Laura replied and stood up, walking up to Pogue. "Look Pogue, I know you still like Kate and I'm fine with that, I don't we ever started a real relationship other than kissing and flirting right?"

Pogue looked up at Laura, "friends?" He asked.

Laura smiled, "friends." They hugged and headed downstairs.

Laura stopped at the doorway of the attic, as if to sense something.

"What?" Pogue asked.

"I sense…" Laura turned around as a flurry of golden lights appeared and a woman was standing front of Pogue and Laura a few seconds later. "Grams!" Laura exclaimed and ran into the woman's arms.

Penny Halliwell smiled at her granddaughter and smiled at the guy in front of her who was confused beyond all reason.
