Hey Guy, I know it's been over a week since I lasted posted. Sorry, things have been hectic lately. Thanks for being so patient, anyway, here's Chapter 10. Hope you all enjoy.
Now that Cece knows about Maria's 'extra' powers, Maria is struggling to tell her little sister the real truth. Maria and Cece are on top of the Golden gate bridge. Cece is sitting, while Maria is pacing up and down.
''Pacing, isn't going to help the situation''. Cece states, a little frustrated. ''How did you do that to Wyatt?''
''I never wanted you to find out like this''. Maria says, finally standing still, now staring down at the water below her, unable to look at Cece.
''Why can't you just tell me the truth?'' Cece asks upset.
Maria turns to look at her little sister. ''We've been through so much, haven't we?''
''Stop avoiding my questions''. Cece is starting get very angry at this point.
''What do you want me to say, Cece? Do you want me to tell you, how they died? How it was my fault?'' Maria goes and sits beside Cece. ''Take my hand''. Maria holds her hand out to Cece, changing the subject once again.
Cece looks at her, suspiciously.
''Just take it''. Maria tries to encourage her.
Cece reluctantly holds her own hand out and takes Maria's hand.
''Can you feel that?''
Cece feels Maria's power go through her own body, and looks at Maria in shock. ''What are you?''
Maria smiles. ''Your sister''.
Cece shakes her head. ''No... You're more powerful, than a Charmed child''.
''I'm a God, Cece''.
Cece starts laughing uncontrollably. Maria just looks at her in shock. ''Cece''.
Cece is still laughing.
''Cece stop... I'm serious''.
Cece finally stops, then looks at Maria, weirdly. ''That's... That's impossible... You're half witch, half cupid... You can't be a God''. Cece says frustratingly confused.
''I am, Cece''.
Cece shakes her head again. ''I need to go''.
''Cece, wait''. Maria tries to stop Cece, but it's too late, Cece has already faded away.
Zara is in her apartment, trying to gain her energy back, after her encounter with Wyatt. After her own encounter with Cece, Maria arrives.
''Gosh, you scared me''. Zara says a little on edge, when Maria fades in, out of no where.
''What were you thinking, Zara?'' Maria says sitting down on Zara's sofa beside her.
''I thought that''...
''You could fight him?'' Maria asks cutting Zara off.
''I got distracted''.
''By Bianca? You ready to tell me the truth now?''
Zara gets off of the sofa, and walks away from Maria. ''Things changed''. Zara turns and looks at Maria. ''But not after I left... It's the reason my family and I left... Someone, magical, took a hit out on my family... And my Dad, he wanted to protect us, so we left... But we were found... And we were attacked''... Zara's eyes start to fill up with tears. ''And Sophie''... Zara pauses for a minute, trying to stop herself from breaking down. ''Sophie didn't make it''.
''Are you saying that, Bianca, was the assassin?'' Maria asks cautiously.
Zara just nods her head. ''One of them, yes... Her mom, and another woman, were also there... But it was Bianca, who... Who ripped my, whole family apart... She killed Sophie''.
Maria shakes her head in disbelief. ''I am so sorry''.
Zara returns sit beside Maria. ''How could he be with her?''
''You mean Chris? I don't know... I've been asking myself that question, since he met her... In my eyes, she'll always be a killer''
''I need justice, Maria... She can't get away with what she did''.
''And she won't... I promise... But right now''...
''I get it... You've a lot to deal with right now''. Zara looks at her understanding. ''So, how's Cece?''
''Confused... Angry... But I guess, I can't blame her for that... It's such a mess Zara''.
''She'll be okay... She's strong... After all, she's Phoebe's daughter... And 'your' little sister''. Zara smiles. ''It'll work out''.
Maria just looks at her, unsure.
Prue is in her kitchen, when she hears Cece come in. Cece slams the door, and goes to head upstairs.
''Hey... Is everything okay?'' Prue asks rushing out to the hallway.
''I'm fine... It's just being a long day, that's all''. Cece says lying.
''Are you sure? You seem upset''.
''Yeah... I'm sure... I'm just gonna go and have a lie down''. Cece heads upstairs.
''Okay''. Prue says, a little worried.
...
Cece walks into her bedroom, with a serious look on her face. She turns and slowly closes the door. She then hurries over to her bed. She kneels down beside the bed, and takes a box out from under it. She then places the box on the bed, and sits on the bed, with the box in front of her, and just stares at it.
Okay so this chapter is very short. But it's a little teaser. 'What's in the box? hmmm' Guess we'll have to wait and find out. Another twist! Thanks for reading, hope you're enjoying the story so far. I'll post as soon as I can. :)
