Disclaimer: *yawn* Yea, I don't own Charmed.
Notes: Okay, in case anyone's confused, there are kind of 3 stories going on at once now. To summarize: Penny had an affair w/ a Vicarri Warlock (for more info read Arsinuwin's review) named Jirad and they had a daughter, Payton. Payton then met an evil warlock, Seth, and they had a daughter named Kyra. Now Kyra has gone to live w/ her Halliwell cousins after her mother's death but she has a secret agenda. There's also some chemistry between her and Chris but she's also in league w/ the Source. *Deep breath* I think that sums it up. If anyone has any questions, just ask.
And thanks to everyone who's been reviewing, I really appreciate your input.
Chapter 5: "For the Moon Never Beams Without Bringing Me Dreams"
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee: And so all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride In her sephulcre by the sea- In her tomb by the side of the sea. -Edgar Allan Poe, from "Annabel Lee"
*Flashback* Payton after Seth's Disappearance
Tossing and turning Payton couldn't sleep again, another sleepless night. She stood up, wrapping her robe around her, trying to obtain some warmth from the chill air around her. It wasn't a chill of the body, but more a chill of the heart that bothered her so. Kyra was asleep in the next room, she had just checked on her a short while ago. The beautiful blonde was all she had left now, she thought with despair. Seth was gone. The words echoed throughout her mind, leaving emptiness and despair in their wake. True, they had argued, they had disagreed, but they also had loved with a love as boundless as the sea. She had left her family for him, he had betrayed the Source to be with her. And now that betrayal had earned him his death.
On the other side of the world, Seth was no better off. He had faked his own death so that Payton and Kyra could finally be safe, he had led the Source away from them for one final time. It had hurt so much, knowing that he'd never see his beautiful wife again or his lovely daughter who has too young too know the depth of his love for her. But they were safe now, with him there would never be the same guarantee. Payton. He missed her so much, the way her soft blonde hair curled delicately at the ends, the way her bright blue eyes sparkled like sapphires. There was no one else like her, no one else could have made him give up his loyalty to the Source. She had been worth everything though, and now he was sacrificing his own pain for her and Kyra. Could he survive his pain though? Only time would tell.
*End of Flashback*
Kyra was having trouble falling asleep, her thoughts kept drifting back to her mother. She had arrived home too late, she had found her mother bleeding to death on the floor of their apartment and had been too late to save her. She was always too late. And her father, he had died too. She had been too young to know what was happening at the time, her mother had just said that he was gone forever. Even Payton couldn't mask her hurt though, as good as she was at pretending everything was okay, and that hurt had affected the tiny girl immensely. Now it was all Kyra could do from screaming, everything was just too much. Desron had promised to find out who had killed her father and then her mother, he had been helpful, but she knew he could never really care for her. It was just a matter of time before he turned against her, the most she could do was reassure him of her intent to kill the Charmed Ones. He claimed it was her grandmother, Penny, who had killed her father, but Penny was dead and now the Charmed Ones would receive her full vengeance. The only problem was her reluctance to kill her own family members, they were all she had left. But she had promised Desron and betraying Desron was a mistake nobody lived to regret. She wasn't about to become another victim. She finally forced herself to sleep, using her powers of mind control.
*She was running away, looking back over her shoulder, running running running. Away from a dark, menacing figure. And he was going to get her unless he kept running running running. Don't! She screamed, trying to get away as the distance between them closed. She tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground harshly. Don't!!!!*
