Much Thanks to Phoenixlighter & XxMemories4everxX for you reviews. Sorry for the lateness of this chapter, I've been kinda busy and, well, grieving. Anyway, here it is:

Chapter Ten: A Three-Day's Reprieve

Synopsis:
Billie wakes up in a familiar place with a familiar face to greet her return amongst the awoken. But soon she must face the Charmed Ones to tell them the frightening truth of Christy's being alive as she discovers that she has been sleeping for three complete days.

Her eyelids fluttered open … and the sun dazzled her. She protected her eyes with her arm and soon realized she wasn't "home" anymore. The cozy furniture around her had nothing to do with her dorm where there was just the last comfort – first, she was lying on a double bed, when she herself only had a single one; then the desk had no laptop on it, which happened very rarely and the red curtains were all but her choosing.

"I just called Leo," she heard spoken by a familiar yet unknown voice in the distance, "they just got to the fair."

She moaned and tried to sit up but, "Oh, thank God, Billie, you're awake!" A bush of dark hair hid her sight and she was nearly out-breathed to death by the person's hug.

"T-Taylor?" Billie coughed.

"It's me, honey. Everything's OK, you're safe now."

Billie raised an eyebrow; they were still hugging. "What d'you m–" but she cut herself off all by herself to ask another question she couldn't hold off any longer while looking at the familiar room she was in, "What the hell is this place? It looks so familiar!"

"I sure hope it would! Seeing as how much time you've spent in here," came another female voice and through Taylor's dark hair Billie saw three feminine silhouettes entering the room and halting in a row at the end of the bed.

She now knew where she was: Halliwell Manor! How could Taylor say that "everything was OK now"?

Taylor let go of Billie as she faced the Charmed Ones with a frightful look. "Hi," Billie said, in a high-pitched voice, much like the one she had when she was a kid.

"Hello Billie," said Piper in a somewhat cold tone. Phoebe smiled at her in a way that could say, "Excuse her" and Paige's expression was unreadable. "It's about time you woke up."

"What d'you mean, how long –?" Billie's voice was choked.

Phoebe cut off, gently, "Three days, honey."

"Three days! It's not p–" she shouted but was interrupted once more, by Paige this time.

"Look for yourself," and she waved her hand and a newspaper orbed into it; she handed it to Billie but the latter was looking at Taylor who had merely flinched at Paige's display of magic, like the people did when they knew about magic but still were impressed by actually seeing some done.

"You know?" she asked faintly to her roommate.

"Not until very recently, Billie, I promise. Well, I found you in the dorm, passed out, and took out your cell phone to call the sisters – I so knew you spent so much of your time with them. And I had just hung up when poof," she used her hands to mimic the uprising of smoke, "they appeared in the room and Paige leant over you and her hands shone and next second you were all un-bruised and all the blood had vanished!" she had spoken very quickly, excited, and was now panting, a hand on her chest but smiling, glad that her tale was told.

Billie turned to Paige and took the paper … but it wasn't to look at the date, it was to hide her eyes behind it and wipe away the tears Taylor had brought up in them … all three Charmed Ones had come to her rescue.

I know this wasn't much of a continuation, but I hope to give you the next one soon ;-)
