Family Affair
Chapter 28: Curses Are Made To Be Broken
A young man stood within the confines of the cage. He looked a little younger than Carlotta and Elizabeth. He had rich, brown hair. Big brown eyes and a hansome face. He wore ragged clothes and no shoes. "Elizabeth?" He asked, as he looked into Elizabeth's eyes. He too had a small, English accent.
"Edward? Is that....is that really you?!" She asked, as tears began to stream down her face.
"Oh Liz, it is me!" He said, as he stuck his arms through the bars.
Piper smiled. "Step back, please." She said.
Edward nodded and stepped backwards.
Piper held up her hands, then with a swift wave, the cage exploded into nothingness.
Elizabeth ran into Edward's arms. "My God, Eddie! I missed you so much!" She cried out, as she hugged her younger brother tightly.
Carlotta stared at her younger brother and younger sister; she'd never been as close to Edward as Elizabeth had.
Edward turned his attention to Carlotta. "Come here, Care!" He said, as he held out an open arm.
Carlotta paused and then a few tears formed in her eyes, she rushed into Edward's arms too. "I missed you so much!" Carlotta cried. "I know that I wasn't the best older sister, but I missed you!" She said, as she cried into her baby brother's shoulder.
"Shhh." Edward said. "It's okay, I'm back now." He said, as he rubbed Carlotta's back. Minutes passed and soon he pulled away from his sisters. He stepped towards Piper. "I knew that if I could get you here, you'd be able to help. Thank you." He said, as he held out his hand.
Piper nodded. "You're welcome." She replied, as she shook Edward's hand. "Just one question, how come I couldn't call my husband?" She asked.
"Because, besides being able to create illusions and sense powerful magic, I can block magic; like sensing type magic." Edward replied. He turned to face Prue, Phoebe, and Paige. "Thank you all, I'm forever greatful!" He said, as he shook each Charmed One's hand. "I hope I didn't cause too much upset for your family." He said.
Prue shook her head. "It's a part of our Charmed life. So don't worry." She said, with a smile.
Edward walked over to his mother and hugged her. "Mother, I missed you." He said.
The old woman hugged him back. "Oh Edward, I'm so glad I have you back." She said, joyfully. She looked at Piper. "I'm so sorry, I was wrong about you." She apologized. "You are welcome here any time. I'm not sure how to repay you." She said.
Piper shook her head. "It was nothing. You don't need to repay us, we were just doing something that needed to be done." She said. Piper looked at her watch. "But we probably should be going." She announced.
Elizabeth nodded, tears were still in her eyes. "Thank you again." She said, again. "You're clothes should be dry now, in your room." She said.
"Thank you." Piper said.
*****20 Minutes Later*****
Piper leaned up, kissing Leo, then firmly took his hand. She smiled at her daughter, in her husband's arms. "I'm ready." She said.
Phoebe walked up next to Piper, her arm slightly brushed Piper's arm, then she felt a surge of energy rush through her; she was being sucked into a premonition.
*****Premonition*****
The rain was now beating down on Piper's car now, she'd had to turn on her window wipers to brush away the rain, but even with that it was still a struggle to see anything. If she squinted her eyes and looked closely, she could see a dim glow of her headlights, even though they were on their brightest setting. Piper shivered slightly and continued to drive down the road. "What the heck happened? Everything was fine a little while ago!" Piper muttered to herself. She gently rubbed her neck. "Well, at least I still have the...." Piper's voice was cut off as the radio began to make slurred noises and then finally settled on a loud, screeching sound. "Radio...." Piper finsiehd. "Great!" She said, in a sarcastic voice. She turned off the radio and continued her drive in silence. Soon she noticed a slushy substance appearing on her windowshield. "What the...." Her voice trailed off and she shook her head in annoyance. "Now it's doing a rain and snow thing to me?! Oh great!" Piper complained out loud. She could now hear the slush swish and gush under her tires, as she drove down the road. She scooted closer to the window to see if she might be able to see anything better. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light, blinding Piper, and when it was gone she thought she saw a profile of a person a few feet in front of her. "Oh God!" Piper screamed, as she slammed on the breaks. Her car went sliding to the side of the road, crashing into the snow, and then the engine stopped running. Piper whirled her head around, but the figure was gone, and all she saw was fluffy white snowflakes pouring from the sky. Piper sighed angrily. She tried to start her car, but it just made a few puttering sounds, then completely died. "Crap!" Piper cursed. She paused. "Leo! Leo!" Piper yelled, as she stared at the ceiling of her car.
*****Premonition*****
Phoebe opened her eyes.
"What did you see?" Paige asked, in concern.
Phoebe shrugged. "Piper's car accident. And the car in the side of the road." Phoebe explained.
"My car, I need to get that!" Piper exclaimed.
"Don't worry, I'll bring it back." Phoebe said. She shimmered out.
Carlotta's mouth dropped open. "She's part demon?" She asked.
Piper shook her head. "No, she's half witch and half mortal. But the child she is carrying, is one-fourth demon, on the baby's father's side. Her power is projected through Phoebe." Piper explained.
Carlotta nodded. "I see.." She said.
"Well, let's go." Piper said, as she looked up at Leo.
Leo smiled, gripped Piper's hand a little tighter, and tightened his grip around Phiona. "Okay. Bye!" Leo called. He glanced at Belinda. "See you later, Belinda." He said.
"Bye bye!" Phiona called, in sweet tone.
Leo orbed them out.
Prue turned to Paige. "Well, we should be going too." She said.
Paige nodded and waved to the remaining people. "Bye!" She called. She grabbed Prue's hand and orbed them out.
Paige orbed herself and Prue in. She found Leo, Piper, Phiona, and Phoebe already there.
"You're car is in the driveway." Phoebe said, as she looked at Piper.
"Thanks, Pheebs." Piper said, in a greatful tone.
"Mommy!" Pearl exclaimed, as she ran into the room. She started bouncing up and down in front of her mother.
Paige picked Pearl up and hugged her. "Hi baby!" Paige greeted. She kissed her daughter on the top of her daughter's head. "Where's daddy?" Paige asked.
"In the kitchen, trying to make dinner with Uncle Cole." Pearl informed.
A look of horror appeared on each Charmed Ones' face. "Uh oh!" They said in unison. The 4 sisters rushed into the kitchen Paige was still holding Pearl.
Leo looked at Phiona and shrugged. "Well, maybe we can find some way to miss out on the food." He said.
Phiona nodded. "Uncle Cole and Uncle Glenn can't cook yummy food." Phiona stated. She smiled. "Neither can daddy. Only mommy, Auntie Prue, and Auntie Paige." Phiona said, with a giggle.
"Hey! I thought you were on my side?" He asked.
"Me is. Me don't weally like Uncle Cole and Uncle Glenn's food neither." Phiona responded.
Leo rolled his eyes and carried his daughter into the kitchen. TO BE CONTINUED....
