Wow I really never realized it has been over a year since my last update. My apologies. For those that are still reading, here you go! Chapter 9!
The moment Purity touched Pheobe's hand, the witch jumped. 'That's just not possible.' She kept thinking to herself, but after so many years of dealing with magic she knew better. Anything was possible. And this would mean so much more. She and Cole had a child, something she was beginning to fear she would never have. Plus it was with him, the man she concidered to be her sole mate despite all of the literal demons she had to fight to be with him. What was she going to do now? What did it mean for them? Her sisters. Cole. Her head was spinning. With all that was happening she stood, practially paralyzed.
Piper, however, had very different ideas about this revelation. "What do you mean Pheobe is your mother? That's not possible!" This was just too much for her to handel in one week. First her husband has another kid, and now this! What else was she going to have to deal with? Trying to soften her gaze, but to no avail, she spoke to Purity. "I'm sorry for whatever he may have told you," she bagan gesturing to Cole, "but there is no way my sister is your mother. She has lived with me for most of her life. And whatever time that she wasn't with me, there was definatly not enough time for her to get knocked up and have a kid!" There was simply no controlling her anger anymore. She gave up trying.
Paige barely had time to think. Chaos was erupting around her. She kept looking at Cole, Pheobe, and Purity trying to see if what they were all told was true, after a few secods she began to see some resemblances. Purity had Cole's black hair, but Pheobe's eyes. She was built like Pheobe, but her face was the shape of her father's. Paige began to wonder why they didn't notice sooner. But she answered her own question: you're not going to find something you're not looking for. Piper's ranting brought Paige out of her 'trance'. After Piper was done she spoke. "Piper wait. Look at her. She looks just like both of them." Paige turned to Purity. "But how is it that no one knew about you?" For as much as Paige distrusted Cole, there was just too much that magic could do. After all she was a prime example of no one knowing about a kid. For once he could be telling the truth.
Purity stood, still holding Pheobe's hand, calm. She expected this kind of reaction, but still was really not entirely prepared. "Listen I know why you are upset, but please don't be mad at him." She looked at Cole. " From what I understand, none of you remember me because of these people called the Cleaners." She was slightly scared. Maybe Piper was right, maybe she had been lied to. It wouldn't be the first time. She had been lied to her entire life apparently.
Pheobe snapped back into reality when Purity began to speak. When her daughter said 'Cleaners' she started to remember something, at least she thought so. It felt like she was waking up from a dream that she so desperatly wanted to remember. "When was I supposedly pregnant with you?" She asked Purity but she looked clueless. Cole answered.
"In New York, when you went to find your dad." Cole saw the memories flooding back to her. He stared with a longing that this would hopefully bring them back together forever.
Piper and Paige sat down and watched, speachless.
"I met you in New York didn't I? We were going to get married..." Pheobe's voice trailled off as if there was something else she wanted to say.
Cole just nodded as he also remembered that time. They were so happy, just like they were when he was human. He missed that.
"When I told you I was pregnant you were scared, but wouldn't tell me why. I guess I know why now, you were a demon." She was starting to wonder about herself. Why was she always attracted to bad boys? Not really remembering much more she looked at Cole. "What else am I forgetting?" It wasn't mean, but a sincere question.
"That I told you the truth. I told you that I was a demon and you flipped out. Said you never wanted to see me again." Something he had heard from her multiple times since then, but he just kept comming back. "I left, or at least you thought I did. I still snuck around keeping an eye on you. Making sure you were safe. When she was born," he motioned to Purity. "I approached you again, asked what you were going to do." He had a solom look on his face. This memory stung. "You said that you were to young to give her a proper life so you put her up for adoption. Shortly after that the Cleaner's came a wiped all our memories. You didn't even tell Piper and Prue." He watched her reaction. She began to tear up when he talked about the adoption. "Like I've told you before we are ment to be together Pheobe. We keep being thrown together." Pheobe just ignored his last comment.
"That still dosen't make sense!" Paige finally spoke. "Why would the Cleaner's erase Purity from your memories?" To her, and everyone else's suprise, it was Leo who answered. He had just orbed in.
"She was never supposed to be born. At least not in this life time." He looked at Piper who scowled at him. Avoiding her, he continued "Purity was expected in the next generation, that was when the Elder's and Demonic leaders had predicted her birth. When she was born ahead of schedual, they decided to take her out of the picture claiming she needed to make her own decision about being good or evil. Obviously the other side broke the pact when Demetri tried to influence her."
"So the fate of the world is in my hands?" Purity said quietly. What a thing to tell a 16 year old.
"Pretty much." Leo felt bad for her. She shouldn't have to make that kind of decision.
Just then Demetri shimmered in, acting all nonchalant. He was listening to the entire conversation waiting for the right moment. "And you need to make that decision now. The demonic leaders are getting restless and if I don't bring you back it will be my head. Literatly." He was hoping he had charmed her enough to inflence her.
Demetri's appearance pissed Piper off. "You better get the hell out of here befor I blow you to peices!" He started all of this. Brought all this nonsense into her home and she was tired of it. She wanted her semi- not really normal life back.
"Piper no!" Leo yelled but it was too late. The threat had been enough to anger Demetri and he threw an energy ball at her throwing her into the grandfather clock and knocking her unconcious. Demetri saw an opportunity to not only bring back the heir to the demonic thrown, but really earn some kudos for offing the Charmed Ones. He threw another energy ball at Paige but she orbed and he missed. Cole began firing fireballs at Demetri but every single one he dodged. Leo ran to Piper who was bleeding quite badly. The fight continued as Paige started throwing random objects at Demetri with her powers while Pheobe was trying to get close enough to him to knock him out with a good kick. Demetri noticed Leo trying to heal Piper and threw an energy ball at him. Leo's back being turned he didn't notice and was struck. His body went flying through the air, when he hit the ground he too was unconcious, leaving Piper bleeding on the floor.
Pheobe rushed to Piper to stop the bleeding. She wasn't about to lose her sister.
Purity jumped behind the couch when the fight began. She was scared, nothing like this had ever happened to her before. She peaked over the edge to see Demetri some how avoiding Cole's fireballs and Paiges objects all while advancing on Paige. Her cousin was almost to Paige when Cole ran to him to block him from Paige, but the distraction was only momentary and Demetri sent Cole flying as well. The demon finally reached Paige. He grabbed her by the neck and lifted. She struggled and Purity could barly make out the words 'help' from her strangled cries. Purity sat for a few more seconds, still unsure what to do when she heard Pheobe's voice.
"Purity HELP HER! He's going to kill her if you don't!" Pheobe was still putting pressure on Piper's wound. She was afraid to move, afraid that if she did her older sister would bleed out.
Purity made her decision. She lept up from behind the couch and herled a fire ball at Demetri knocking Paige out of his grasp. She continued advancing on him determined to vanquish him.
"You want to do this the hard way? Fine!" Demetri chucked an energyball at Purity but she simple avoided it. He kept up his attack and she maintained her defence, throwing a few fireballs herself every now and again. The stalment in action gave Demetri a grave thought. 'If she chooses to be good will I have the power to stop her? I was only told I could match her when she was undecided.' He got his answer quickly. Fire had begun to consume Purity and she was getting closer and closer to Demetri. He was caught off guard as the fire turned from orange and red to green all arounf her and he was flung back into the wall by her strike of a fireball. He was backed into a corner. She began producing a humogus mix of black, green, and white fire. Releasing it, the house shook, and where Demetri was cornered there was only a large scoarch mark left. Purity stood, growing in degree by the second.
Cole realized what would happen if his daughter didn't calm down. "Purity, he's gone you have to calm down." But his plea was all for nothing. The girl remained looking forward, engulfed by flames and Cole was beginning to feel the heat. He went to Pheobe, who was now doing CPR to keep Piper alive. Paige had gone to try and wake Leo. "Pheobe you have to talk to her. She won't listen to me."
"I can't leave Piper, Cole." She continued with the CPR. Leo finally roused and rushed over. He began healing Piper while Pheobe went to try and calm Purity. "Sweetie, you need to calm down." She used the nicest voice she could muster and Purity looked at her with purly white eyes. "Cole what am I supposed to say to her?"
"She looked at you. Thats a start. Just keep talking, about anything!" He was scared. Although Purity had choosen good, if she accidently killed her entire family she would become evil by defult.
Pheobe tried again. "Purity it's me, your mom." The words sounded strange comming from her mouth but at the word 'mom' Purity slowly began to decline in flame intensity. "Good, now you need to control yourself. Just think of the new life you are going to have. With me, Piper, Paige. Come on I know you don't want to hurt us." Her child was only slightly lit now and Pheobe approached her. When she was compleetly out she wrapped her in a hug.
"Do you mean it? I can stay with you?" Purity was almost unconcious now, but just before she blacked out she heard Pheobe's quiet "yes" and then she drifted from the exaustion.
I think that's the end of it. I may write an epilogue, all depends on if you R&R! Let me know what you think of this final chapter of my very first FanFic!
