This chapter is a little bit on Phoebe's side. Hope ya likes…..
As usual…I do not own ANY concept of Friends.
***********
Phoebe sat on the sofa in Central Perk as she read over the book. She was going through one of the new age stores. She was going to buy a book called 'The Supernatural For Dummies' when an old lady wearing gypsy like clothes walked over and started talking to her.
********
"Hello, how may I help you, my dear?"
Phoebe looked up and was astonished, the woman looked to be about eighty five, but her eyes told her that she was much older and were silent witnesses to terrifying times. "Oh, nothing. I was thinking about buying this book."
"It is a nice book for amateurs. It is also very imaginative. How will you be paying for it?"
"Cash. Well, I am not an amateur and I do not want it imaginative. I want it where it really talks about what is real. And I am guessing this is not real." Phoebe looked at he book sadly.
"Well…you are right about that. Almost nothing in that book is real."
"Awwww… that is too bad. I mean, I am physic and I want to know about zombies, ghouls and other supernatural beings. I want to protect me and my friends from those things."
The older woman smiled. "I may have just the book for you." She went behind the counter and retrieved a huge hard covered old book. It was heavy and Phoebe was amazed that the woman could carry it. "This book has been passed down from oldest daughter to oldest daughter for over four centuries. In it, it contains definitions, descriptions, drawings, spells to protect your family and friends and also how to kill the creatures. It also shows what to look out for." She then placed it heavily on the counter. And opened it.
"Really? It is real?" Phoebe asked curiously.
"Most definitely. For one thing, werewolves look like everyday people but they run in packs or gangs, a lot of your rock groups are in fact of that order. REAL witches are in very dignified positions. Like doctors, lawyers and CEO's. Sorcerers and wizards are in very high positions in the government like city council member, mayors and even other government positions. Hunters are in the police force and the military and other important functions. Vampires are very different than they portrayed on the big screen. They are intelligent and tend to have two to three people they stay around. Their blood brother or sister and their own soul mate and the blood brother or sister's soul mate. One thing is for certain, they do not like dogs. Dogs can sense what they are. Although they have some dogs at times that are their friends and help protect them from hunters and other such people." She then looked at Phoebe who looked very interested. "You believe me?"
"Yes!!!!!!!! I do. I really do believe you!"
"Then I will sell you this book. But the price is that you have to come here and learn what my mother taught me. Is it a deal?"
"So I will learn…."
"Everything a gypsy knows. Including how to read tarot cards and to see what life holds for you into in the crystal ball, that I will eventually give you after you learn all there is to know. I will also teach you how to rid society of those unwanted creatures. IS it a deal?" The older woman wondered as she held out her hand.
"It is a deal." Phoebe shook her hand. Not knowing the full extent of the pact that she had just entered into.
********
As she read the book, some of those things that it was talking about was vaguely familiar to her. She saw a lot of stuff on the street, and she was sure that was where she saw a lot of it. But why did a certain part bug her more than the rest. Some of them seemed very familiar. Particularly vampires.
Ross then walked in. "Hi…." He slurred out his famous depressed line.
Phoebe looked up, "Oh, Ross what is wrong?"
"Rachel is mad at me. And it is all Chandler's fault. Her brought up our former argument. I think he did it because he was sticking up for Joey about when Rachel and I got back together."
"Sounds like something he would do."
"You know I have never noticed before how protective they are when it comes to each other. It is like they will protect each other to the graves or something."
Phoebe got a thoughtful look on her face. "You know you are right."
"You know how funny it is, they act more like each other than twins even do. It is like an act, they act like they are different, but are virtually the same. I mean what are they attached at the hip or what?" Ross asked.
Phoebe just read the part about vampires and the close blood friendship with one another. That sounded awfully familiar. NAHHHHHHHHHHH…couldn't be.
Ross looked down art his watch. "Oh, crap! I have to help at the NYU library and it's history section, they have found some old photographs of Mathew Brady's that were taken during the civil war. No one has seen those in ages. Most were closed up according to a deal struck by the former owners, but since they are dead and the descendants are no where to be found or there are none, they now officially belong to NYU!" Ross got up and left.
Phoebe sat on the sofa for a bit thinking, before getting up and walking up to Monica and Chandler's apartment.
After she walked through the door, she went and sat down at the table. The book was sooo thick and heavy that she could no longer hold it in her lap.
"Hey, Phoebes….." Monica stated as she entered carrying a basket of laundry Chandler followed carrying his briefcase and Joey followed and went directly toward the fridge.
"Oh, hey Monica, Chandler, Joey." She looked up and smiled. "You know you guys do not have to hide your relationship anymore with the excuse of doing laundry, right?" Monica just grinned and Chandler got a sarcastic look on his face. Joey just snickered.
"Doing some heavy reading Phoebes?" Monica asked. "Not one word Chandler." Before Chandler could come up with one of his remarks. Chandler then pouted.
"What are ya reading Phoebe?" Chandler asked.
"A book about the supernatural." Phoebe explained.
Joey and Chandler both shared a look at one another. That was not what either one of them expected.
"Really?" Joey asked.
"Yes, but it is not like the modern day books of that stuff. It is very old and it was compiled over several centuries. And guess what? The lady who gave it to me is going to make me a gypsy!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay ME!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"How old?" Chandler wanted to know.
"She said it was passed down from mother to oldest daughter in her family for generations. She said that since she had no daughters, that I was going to be taught everything. From card and palm reading to also how to exterminate those grody creatures. Pretty exciting, huh?"
"Yeah, very." Joey mumbled.
"Phoebe just be very careful, ok?" Monica asked.
"As if!!!!!!!!!!" Phoebe then looked at the book again. Monica then started cleaning.
"Uh, Chandler, I need your help with the TV. I mean I un hooked the DVD player…."
"Say no more, Joe." They both left.
********
"You have seen the books before!!!!!!!!!! Is IT one of THEM???"
"Yes." Chandler exclaimed.
"I thought your father destroyed them all." Joey started.
"I guess he didn't, or he overlooked one or someone managed to hide one of them."
"DAMN!!!!!!! We're in a tough spot!!!"
""Oh, it gets better."
"Uh oh. Do I really want to know?"
"Those old photographs taken of us during the civil war, are now property of NYU." Chandler then continued. "Maybe no one we know will see them."
"Uh, I got some worse news, than that. They are going to be a public showing in a week at the college." Joey started. "Ross was talking about that just today."
"What? Joey if those pictures get displayed, then our cover will be blown!"
"We have to get rid of the evidence, or leave here and everything behind. Including Monica." Joey looked sadly into his friend's face.
"When do you want to do it, and how?" There was no way that Chandler was going to give up on Monica. He had come too far and there was no way no how. Not now. He had found his soul mate, after all of these centuries and he was NOT going to let her go!
***********
It was decided that they would do it that night. And the sooner the better. So late that night, they bypassed the security system at the library and destroyed all they could find. Which included pictures, disks, journals, lists of soldiers for the New York battalion and other various documents.
They also had no chance but to kill a couple of the guards. They killed them in the quickest way so that they would not feel any pain. Then they beat the already dead humans to a bloody pulp, after they were dead, making it look as though there was a tough struggle. And not the easy kill it really was. But one thing they didn't do was to mess up the faces, so that the loved ones would not have to have a closed casket ceremony.
They then destroyed and stole some of the other documents, journals, pictures and writings and artifacts that looked valuable so it would look like a robbery and then left. Making sure that they were not seen by humans or any electronic device.
That night, before they got home, they then sent the evidence to Scotland by mail. Not knowing that Ross had secretly taken home some of the pictures with him. There was something familiar about them. Or the people in them. And Ross being the scientist that he was just had to know what was familiar about them.
*********
The next day, Monica read the paper and looked at the pictures. What she saw made her stomach turn. But not like it usually did when it came to something like that. It excited her for some reason. All of that blood and other matter!
It was then that she got scared. What in the world was happening to her? She never used to think that anything related to violence was good. She hated violence. No matter the tough appearance she put on the outside. She did not like watching or hearing about people getting beat up.
When Rachel and Phoebe saw the pictures, they both turned white and Rachel almost fainted. Soon after Rachel and Phoebe saw it, they both ran to the bathroom. While that was going on, Monica just sat at the table the whole time, scared. Soon after, Rachel and Phoebe both stumbled back in and sat down at the table.
"Monica, honey, it is going to be okay. I mean we will lock our doors tonight and from now on. NO ONE will be able to get in here and we will be safe. Besides, you have Chandler and Joey to protect you. Well, more Joey than Chandler. Besides, Chandler would give his life to protect you." Rachel smiled reassuringly.
"Yeah, he would wouldn't he." Monica thought aloud.
To her Chandler was everything. He was sweet, loyal and considerate. And he wouldn't hurt a fly. Just thinking about Chandler gave her a feeling of peace and protection that she needed. And with those feelings, something more came into play. She had no idea what. But she felt something more.
At that time, Chandler was having lunch with Joey. He was worried for a moment. Something was wrong with Monica, he could feel it. He felt apprehensive. And was not paying attention to what he was doing and accidentally spilled mustard all over himself. He would have to go home to change. Then he could check up on Monica. Hopefully it was nothing serious.
He then smiled. She felt calmed for some reason and was happy. He could now feel and tell what she was thinking. It was the first part of THE BOND that he was going to share with Monica.
The Bond was something that all vampires shared with their blood sibling or with their soul mate. It was there to help keep them from loosing each other and to help calm each other down. In short it was a link. And it was the first indication that he was actually bringing her into the fold.
Joey noticed he seemed preoccupied for a bit. Then noticed that he smiled. Chandler had a look of realization and contentment.
"Chandler?" Joey asked.
"The bond is starting to form, Joe." Chandler exclaimed with tears in his eyes.
Joey smiled. "So ya want to go home. I mean you could call in for the day."
Chandler smiled even more. "Sure." They both got up and left.
*********
Once they arrived at home, Chandler went and changed, while Joey rummaged through the refriderator. Chandler finally emerged from the bedroom in jeans and his NYU tee shirt and tennis shoes.
"Looking good, hon." Monica whistled out as she went over and kissed him.
Chandler then went and made the call to work. While on the phone he found out that the afternoon meeting had been canceled because Doug had to go to court because of him being accused of sexual innuendoes. Or sexual harassment. That was all good and fine for Chandler, he could officially take the rest of the day off.
Chandler went and started to read the paper. He saw where the guards at the museum were 'butchered' as the paper called it. He admired his work for a bit, until Ross who had just came in grabbed the paper from him. Causing him to wince, he had just got a paper cut.
"Oh, dude! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry!" Ross exclaimed. He felt awful.
"It is nothing. Just a paper cut." Chandler said as he watched the paper cut heal inhumanly fast. He then quickly got up and went to the bathroom. "I am going to get a band aide."
*****
That night after dinner, Chandler was washing the dishes. He had taken off the band aide to make it easier to wash the dishes. The others were all watching and playing with Emma.
Phoebe got up to get some mineral water. She looked over at Chandler. He did not have his band aide on. And there was NO cut. She stood there amazed for a bit, then she left the kitchen. And went to the table to get her book and to go home.
"Where are you going Phoebe?" Ross wanted to know.
"Home, I am tired. Night."
"Be careful/Bye/ See ya around/etc." Everyone responded. She then left.
Instead of going home, she went to the shop where she met the gypsy woman and obtained the book at.
*********
What do you7 think is going to happen next? Wait and see. Review please. That is the only way I know how I am doing. So please review.
