New Lives
Chapter 1 Kidnapped
Piper knocked on the door to the manor. "Phoebe!" She yelled as she got
inside.
"Aunt Piper." Lily squealed as she ran to her from the stairs.
"Hey flower." Piper used the name for Lily, since a lily is a flower,
"Where's your mom, and dad." She asked as she picked Lily up.
"Mommy." Lily looked up, "And daddy..." She looked down.
"Oh..." Piper smiled, "So, mommy is in the attic and daddy is in the
basement."
Lily nodded and climbed down. She ran over to the basement door and opened
it. She walked through the door and down the stairs, Piper followed her.
"Hey Cole." Piper said.
"Oh, hey Piper." Cole looked up from his papers and stood up. "Work." He
groaned. Piper laughed. Cole looked down at Lily, "Hey sweetie." He picked her
up and asked, "Where's mommy?"
Lily looked up again and this time Piper and Cole laughed. They walked up
the stairs all the way to the attic. "Mommy!" Lily yelled as they got to the
door.
"Oh, hey Piper." Phoebe said putting her book down, "Where's Leo?"
"He's outside talking to Melinda about using her powers." Piper smiled.
"I'll go down and get Melinda's things." Cole said leaving, Lily followed
him.
"Are you sure you don't mind taking Melinda?" Piper asked.
"I am sure." Phoebe laughed, "I think that you and Leo need time alone.
Plus, Prue and Frank also need some, so Charity is coming and you know how Mel
likes to spend time with her cousins."
"And whenever you and Cole need alone time you can just drop Lily by, you
know that." Piper said as Phoebe walked downstairs.
"Yeah." Phoebe said, "Now you two just go and have fun ok." She added as
Cole walked in with Melinda's bag. Melinda ran in a second later with Leo behind
her, "Aunt Phoebe." She ran to her aunt and hugged her.
"We'll see you tomorrow." Leo bent down and kissed Melinda on the cheek.
"Bye Daddy. Bye Mommy." Melinda waved as Phoebe pushed Leo and Piper out
the door.
When Phoebe finally got them out she let out a sigh, "What does your
mother do with the babysitter?" Melinda and Lily laughed.
Then the doorbell ran again and Prue and Frank came in carrying Charity,
"Hey guys." Prue said as Cole took Charity's bag. Prue bent down and gave Lily
and Melinda both two kisses on the cheek.
Frank had handed Charity to Phoebe and said, "So, we'll see you guys
tomorrow." They both nodded and Prue and Frank left.
Melinda looked at Lily and said, "Come one Lils." She ran up the stairs
with Lily behind her.
"Where are they off to?" Cole asked.
"They're kids. They could be off to anywhere." Phoebe said.
"Yeah, and one of them is ours." Cole smiled.
Phoebe put her arms around his shoulders, "Yeah... did you ever think we
were gonna have one?" She asked.
"No..." He kissed her, "I though and think that were gonna have at least
two." He smiled again.
Phoebe laughed a little and pulled him in for another kiss. Just then
Charity started crying. She picked her up and then headed toward the kitchen to
start dinner. Cole went upstairs looking for Lily and Melinda. He found them in
Lily's room coloring. "Hey kids." He said as he sat on the floor next to them.
"Guess what?" Melinda asked.
"What Mel?" Cole smiled. Melinda always loved guessing games.
"I'm learning to orb. Daddy's teaching me." Melinda smiled.
"That's very good." Cole told her, "I just started teaching Lily how to
shimmer. Right flower?"
"Yeah daddy." Lily smiled and shimmered onto his lap, "See."
Melinda smiled and orbed next to them. They all laughed and Melinda and
Lily went back to coloring. "Can I help?" Cole asked.
"Yeah daddy... help us color." Lily gave him a black crayon and he bent
over what they were coloring. It was a witch on a broomstick. "Color in the...
cat." She took out a brown crayon and started coloring the broom as Melinda took
another black crayon and colored the witch's hat.
In about an hour Phoebe called, "Cole, Lily, Melinda! Dinner!"
The kids raced downstairs. Cole took Charity from Phoebe and put the baby
in the highchair. Phoebe gave each person a plate and a fork as Cole handed out
cups. "What're we having Aunt Phoebe?" Melinda asked.
"Well, since I'm not your mother, we are having macaroni and cheese."
Phoebe put two spoons on everyone's plate. Charity ate happily as Cole sat next
to her and took one bite for himself of macaroni, then gave her some of her own
food.
While Cole and Phoebe were cleaning phoebe told him, "Darryl should be
here any minute. I just gotta talk to him... Where are Mel and Lily?"
"They're in the baby's room with Charity." Cole answered, "Good thing we
have the crib from when Lily was a year old." Just then the doorbell rang. Cole
watched as Phoebe went and got it. He continued cleaning.
Phoebe and Darryl walked into the kitchen, "Hey Cole." Darryl smiled
weakly.
Cole nodded. They weren't the best of friends. "Get along." Phoebe said.
"Sure." Cole said. They shook hands. Cole left the room. He walked up the
stairs to the baby's room. "Hey kids." He said as he passed Charity in the crib.
He sat down next to Lily on the floor and helped them finish the picture they
had been working on before.
About two hours later, Phoebe came up, "Mel, Lily, its bedtime." They went
down the hall to Lily's room. Lily climbed into her bed as Melinda climbed into
the extra one.
"Night Melinda." Phoebe kissed the girl and walked over to Lily's bed and
kissed her,
"Goodnight my flower." She walked to the door. Cole blew kisses to each of
the girls and then followed Phoebe. He turned off the light and closed the door.
The next morning, Phoebe was downstairs getting Charity ready to go home
and Cole was upstairs on the phone with Leo. Cole hung up the phone and was on
the stairs when he called, "Melinda!" Melinda ran out of the kitchen. "Your mom
is on the way." Melinda nodded and went back to the kitchen. Cole walked into
the living room and sat next to Phoebe.
"Hey." She said and she kissed him.
"Franks on his way." Cole told her. Phoebe nodded, "Where is Lily?" He
asked.
"Upstairs in her room." Cole told her. Just then the doorbell rang. Piper
and Frank walked in, "Melinda!" Cole called.
Melinda walked into the room, "Get your stuff..." Piper told her. Melinda
ran up the stairs.
Phoebe handed Charity to Frank. Suddenly, they heard a scream. Everyone
raced up the stairs to Lily's room. They ran into the room and found Melinda
unconscious on the floor. Piper started to yell for Leo, while Cole searched for
Lily, "She's not here." He said panicking.
Leo orbed in and saw Melinda. As he healed her he asked, "What happened?"
No one answered. They didn't know how. Melinda sat up, "Daddy!" She hugged him
and started crying, "He took Lily!"
"Who Mel? Who took Lily?" Phoebe asked. Melinda looked up and shrugged,
still crying.
"The book. You'll be able to recognize them right, Melinda?" Piper asked.
Melinda nodded calming down.
They went to the attic. They flipped through the book. Frank went and got
Prue. Cole was pacing. Phoebe was sitting down with her head in her hands.
Charity was on the floor, just sitting. Piper flipped the pages of the book as
Melinda looked at the pictures. "That's it." She said.
The picture was of a dark blue demon with black in various spots. Piper
read out loud, "What most don't know is that there is a demon who has one job
and one job only. Tenecrat. His job is to collect all demon children and make
sure they grow in the power of evil. Though, only children of half or all demon
blood." Phoebe practically collapsed in her chair. She put her head back in her
hands and started crying softly.
Cole took her in his arms, "How do we find him?" He asked.
"You can't." Phoebe said picking her head up.
"What do you mean?" Prue asked.
"I mean that we can't. He shields himself and no one can find him." She
sighed, "He works alone, and no one has ever been able to track him."
"How do you know this?" Leo asked.
"I remember. After I was born, my dad was always worried whenever a demon
attacked. The, when I was 10, Tenecrat came. He had waited until my powers had
grown. He killed my father, failed to kill my mother, and took me. I told you
guys that the historical center said that my mother took care of me until I was
18, well, I was in Tenecrat's care until then. My mother just pretended to have
taken care of me. Tenecrat took me to the underworld and kept me there." Phoebe
sighed and ran a hand through her hair, "Can't believe I remember all that." She
smiled weakly.
"So what do we do?" Frank asked.
"We wait." Phoebe said, "Until she comes back."
The silence was back. Melinda was scared and everyone else was worried.

Lily nodded and climbed down. She ran over to the basement door and opened
