Chapter 3.…………….
San Francisco………(Alternate Universe)…….
Kat was sitting in her room at the manor when she heard a voice say her name. She looked around to try to find who spoke. But didn't find them. So she went back to her homework.
What Kat did not know is that there was a ghost standing in the room. The ghost shook its head. It then said, more loudly, "Katherine Patricia Halliwell Wyatt, I know you can hear me."
Kat jumped out of her chair when she heard the voice. She then spun and saw a ghost of a woman. Kat then asked, "Who are you and what do you want?"
The ghost shook her head and said, "My name is Prue, and I am just here to check up on you and see if you are ready for what you are to do."
Kat's eyes got big. She then said, "Aunt Prue, mom has told me about you. And yes I am ready. I have read the prophecy."
Prue's ghost nodded.
San Francisco…………(Mattverse)……… Halliwell Manor…………12/27/02
Piper is puttering around the house since everyone else is gone at the time. She picks up one of Paige's jackets off of the couch and walks over the downstairs closet to put it away. When she opened the closet up she placed the jacket in it. Before she closed she noticed something on the shelf. So she reached up and grabbed it. She then took it and walked back to the couch to sit down.
Piper looked at the paper scroll. After a moment she did a double take and read it again. She then said, "I won't let this happen. I don't care if it is meant to happen, the Elders are not screwing with my child."
Just then a figure popped out of nowhere. He then said, "That is not from the Elders, it is from the Powers that Be. And you can not stop it. It will happen. No matter what."
Prue turned and looked at the weirdly dressed man. She then asked, "Who are the Powers that Be? Aren't they the Elders? And who are you? Are you a Whitelighter?"
Whistler chuckled and said, "The PTB, are the Elders bosses. So they are not the same. And the name is Whistler. I work for the PTB, and I am not a Whitelighter."
Piper let this work in her head, before asking, "If you work for this PTB, and not a Whitelighter. Then what are you?"
Whistler stepped to the side and held his hands up and said, "Now when I tell you what I am please don't blow me up." He waited until Piper nodded and then he said, "I am a demon. Well a Volarotinkarocke demon, to be more correct."
Piper stood up and said, "A good demon. In my experience, all demons are evil."
Whistler again held his hands up and said, "Yes I am a good demon. I help the good guys. You can ask your friends, Matt and Buffy. I have helped them before." He stopped and then after a moment he said, "Well babe, I must be going, I am being called on another errand. Remember when the baby is born the switch must happen. Bye." Whistler then turned and started to walk away. He then disappeared.
Later………….Halliwell Manor……….
Paige, Phoebe, and Leo are sitting around the dining room table. They were waiting for Piper to come back down stairs.
Paige noticed that as Piper walked into the dining room she was holding a rolled piece of paper. Piper threw the paper onto the table and said, "How long did you guys know about this?"
Leo picked up the paper and then said, "For about a week. Paige found it on the front porch. I am sorry for not telling you. "
They then talked for a while.
Next Day…………… Cole's Apartment…………12/28/02.…….
Cole was sitting in his apartment reading the newspaper. The Headline read, 'Four human bodies found at the San Francisco docks. Culprit unknown.' It said that the bodies were torn apart and that the livers, and the hearts were missing.
Cole shook his head. He then quickly rose to his feet when the elevator doors, to his apartment, flew open. Out of the elevator, walked a large demonic female. Cole took one look at her and knew that she was a Dark Demon. He then asked, "What the hell do you think you are doing in my home?"
The demon looked at this Fellion Demon. She then said, "The name is Chelyntera, and I have heard that you are one of the most powerful Fellion Demons here in this city. And I was told to recruit you to our side."
Cole looked at her, and grimaced when she called him a Fellion Demon. He knew that is what the Dark Demons, called the demon in and around San Francisco, well just like he and the others called her type of Demon a Dark Demon.
He then asked, "Who told you to try, to recruit me? And what is your side?"
She stepped closer to him and ran her clawed fingers on his cheek. She then said, "Why, my boss is The Dark One. And our side is Evil of course."
Cole reached up and pushed her hand away. He then said, "Get out now."
She dropped her smiled and then snarled. She then said, "Fine but beware, soon this City and then the world will belong to the Dark One. The War has started." She then turned and stormed back into the elevator.
Cole shook his head and said, "B***h."
