Author's Note: I don't really know where I'm heading with this, but we'll see, wont we. This part takes place about a month after the first part. Trica is almost done with school, she just has to take some finals. O.K., so on with the story....
"Hey guys." said Phoebe walking into the kitchen in her pajamas.
"Hey Pheebs." answered Prue. "Do you know where Trica is?" she asked.
"Yeah, she went to school already, she has to take one of her finals, but I don't know which one. Why?" Phoebe answered.
"Well you guys know that Trica is supposed to be this really powerful witch right." They all nod their heads "O.K. then, she's been here a month, so why haven't we seen her use her powers?" asked Prue.
"You know, I don't know. I never really thought about it. But not that you mention it I'm curious." said Piper.
"I think I can answer this one" Leo said "you three know that you are all very powerful, but you guys still slip sometimes, and Phoebe can't even control her premonitions at all. Think about how much control she must have over her powers not to ever let them slip."
"I guess, but why wouldn't she ever use her powers in front of us? She knows that we're witches too." Replied Prue.
"Maybe she doesn't want us to know what her power is!" Phoebe told her.
"Why wouldn't she want us to know?" Prue asked.
"I don't know Prue, maybe it's because ever since you registered Trica for school you are always acting suspicious of her." Phoebe said getting aggravated.
"I have a right to be suspicious of her Phoebe. She broke into some government agency's computer and made people. Who knows what else she's doing." Prue said also becoming angry.
"You know what Prue, you're right, you're absolutely right. I'm going to take a shower. I'll see you when you get home from your shoot." Phoebe said walking out of the kitchen and over to the stairs. I wonder why Prue has such a problem with Trica? I think that she's a sweet kid she thought to herself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wonder what time it is Trica thought looking at her watch. 10:30, still another hour before the bus comes. I wish I could go home! I miss my family, I still can't believe I never noticed anyone but Nell acting weird. I wonder how long they were becoming evil before I left? I should ask Rocco next time I see him.
"Hey Trica" a blond hared girl said.
"What! Oh hey Erin, you scared me." Trica answered.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to. How do you think you did on the chem final?" asked Erin.
"I think I did O.K., but you never know. I've never been any good in chemistry." Trica replied.
"So, did you get any of your other grades? I got an 89 on U.S. History, a 90 on English, and a 96 on Spanish." said Erin.
"That's really good." Trica began "I got an 84 on math, a 95 on English, and a 99 on U.S. History. But I don't know what I got on Spanish, I couldn't find my teacher." she finished.
"WOW! You got a 99 on U.S. History, are you kidding?" Erin asked.
"No, but that's what I asked Mrs. Stratton when she told me." Trica said laughing.
"That's amazing! I don't think I've ever done that well on a final." Erin said.
"Erin! Come on, we've got to go." called a woman from a green mini-van.
"Well that's my mom, I gotta go. Do you need a ride?" Erin asked.
"Nah, but thanks anyway. I want to hang out here for a little while." answered Trica.
"Erin now!" Erin's mother yelled.
"Oh boy she's in a good mood" Erin said sarcastically. "You sure you don't want a ride." she asked turning towards the van.
"Yeah." Trica reassured her.
"O.K. Bye, I'll see you later." said Erin.
"Bye." called Trica
Trica was sitting on a bench when she felt a tap on her shoulder. When she turned to see who it was she was greeted with "Hey you! How are you doing?"
"Rocco!" Trica practically screamed. "Oh my god, you don't know how good it is to see you." she said a bit more quietly.
"I've missed you too. They" he said pointing up "said that I could stay with you."
"That's so cool, and not that I'm knocking it, but why?" Trica asked.
"I told your family I would be looking for you and that they might not see me for a while." he replied.
"How is everyone?" asked Trica sadly.
"They are hell-bent on finding you. I don't think they've killed an innocent yet, I think that they're ummmmmmm.......waiting for you." he said hesitantly.
"Oh." Trica said barely holding back tears.
"Come on. I'll take you home." Rocco said putting his arm around Trica.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I knew we would find her if we followed him." Nell told two teenage boys. The boys were identical twins with black hair and crystal blue eyes. :One of you go back and tell mom and dad we found her." she continued.
"O.K." the boys said.
"I'll go. Don't do anything till I get back though. I don't want to miss anything" he said smiling evilly.
"Fine, Ben you and me are going to make sure we don't lose Trica." Nell said.
"What makes you the boss Nell?" Ben asked angrily.
"I'm older, so I'm in charge." Nell answered.
"Give me a break, you're only a year older." he argued.
""Give it up, now come on we are gunna lose her." Nell said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mom, dad, we found her." the other twin said. "Nell's hunch paid off."
"Good job Vic, now go help your brother and sister." said his mother, a woman in her mid to late forties.
"O.K. are you two coming?" he asked
"Yes son, we will be there soon." replied Vic's father, a man in his early to mid fifties. Vic nodded and left.
"We've almost got her, soon we'll be done. Can you feel it?" asked the man.
"Yes." replied his wife.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trica and Rocco orbed into the kitchen of the manor. "Phoebe, Piper, Leo, Prue" Trica called. "I hope Prue's not here, ever since I told her about creating a background for myself she's been suspicious of me." Trica said to Rocco.
To what he replied, "Well what did you expect? I told you that one day all that hacking would get you into trouble."
"Oh shut up." Trica said. "Is anyone home?"
"Trica is that you?" yelled Phoebe from the stairs.
"Yeah. Phoebe where is everyone?" Trica asked walking towards the sound of Phoebe's voice with Rocco right behind her.
"Prue's at a shoot, and Piper and Leo are at the club, which is where I'm heading.". Then noticing Rocco for the first time "Who are you?" she asked
"My name's Rocco, I'm Trica's whitelighter." he answered.
"Aren't you a little young?" asked Phoebe.
"Yeah, but when I died I was trying to save a girl who had been stabbed in the parking lot of my school. They said that I showed 'initiative' because I didn't leave her even when the man that stabbed her threatened to kill me." Rocco replied.
"Oh." said Phoebe. "Well do you guys want to come along or stay here?"
"I think we'll stay here." Trica answered for the both of them.
"O.K." see you guys. Nice to meet you Rocco." Phoebe said.
"You too." Rocco answered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Look they're alone now, that woman's leaving." Ben said.
"We'll wait till Vic comes back, and then take care of them." said Nell.
"Can we at least get closer to the house I can barely see." asked Ben.
"fine, but let's be quick about it." replied Nell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey guys, I'm back. Mom and dad are coming later." Vic said.
"O.K. then we're all here. Let's go." Nell said evilly.
Let me know how you liked it so far, and if you think I should continue or not. 8-)
