A/N: I know, this is short, sorry 'bout that. But I promise, this plot will
get better.
Family Affair
Chapter 10: Hear No Evil
Rich, thick, black smoke rose from a golden pot in the center of a dimly lit cave. An older woman stood over the pot. Her gray hair was pulled into a bun and wrinkles covered her hands and face. She wore a long, brick red dress, and a silver ring glimmered on her finger. Her golden eyes stared into the smoke and she smiled, a very wicked smile. "It is done...." She uttered. Then she flared out.
Phoebe rushed into her office, shut the door behind her, and quickly locked it. "Damn! I hope Elise doesn't notice that I was twenty minutes late!" She whispered to herself. She plopped down at her desk and turned on her computer. She rummaged through the papers on her desk, hoping to find the ones she needed. There was a loud slam, obviously of a door. "Shit!" Phoebe cursed, in a hushed tone. Then she loud bangs on her office door.
"Phoebe Halliwell! Get your ass out of this office and into mine, immediately!" Elise roared, from the outside of the door. She spun around and stomped back to her office, slamming her door behind her.
Phoebe cringed at the noise. Phoebe ran her fingers through her long, wavy brown hair, then opened her door. She knew everyone in the office was taking secret glances at her but she pretended not to notice. She briskly walked to Elise's office, stopping only for a moment to take a deep breath, then she preceeded to open the door and walk in.
Elise's chair spun around. Elise was now facing Phoebe. Her face was red and she looked like she'd hadn't had sleep in days.
Phoebe braced herself for Elise's yelling. Suddenly she felt a warm gust blow past her, then nothing. Phoebe shrugged it off and then her ears began to hurt. She rubbed them, but it didn't help. She then noticed that Elise's mouth was moving but she wasn't hearing a word. 'Oh no....' Phoebe thought.
"And I don't want you late again, Phoebe Halliwell!" Elise screamed, then she rammed her fist into her desk, making a loud cracking noise as books toppled from the desk.
Phoebe stared at Elise. 'That pounding of her fist should have made some noise....Or at least the books falling...' Phoebe thought. 'But I cannot hear a thing, this is not good!' Phoebe thought. She nodded to Elise. "Uh, yeah, okay...Sorry." She said. She couldn't hear her own words either. "But umm, I'm not feeling so good. Ya know, the pregnant thing, so I'm gonna go now! Buh bye!" She said, as she turned and rushed out of the room. TO BE CONTINUED....
