Summary: 17 years later after the gang's High School graduation. Someone has isolated themselves from everyone else and dropped all contact to their past life. They've created a new identity and a new life. **************************************************************************** ***************
About ten minutes later Laura had heated up some coffee and placed it in front of Ray, she the sat down next to him at the table. She placed her hand over her own and it glowed red for a moment. A second later she took her hand away and clearly a lot more steam was arising from it.
"Hypocrite." Ray muttered smiling. "You yelled at Pam and Tim yesterday for using their powers to help you with dinner!"
Laura shrugged as she smiled. "I'm an adult." She set her glass down.
"So what's your story Ray? Why'd you get made a whitelighter?"
"I was a firefighter, got caught in a really bad one when I went to see if anyone else was in the house, luckily there wasn't."
"I'm sorry" Laura told him
He shrugged. "I'm doing just as much good now. Do you have a story?"
Laura laughed a little. "A very long and complicated one."
Silence overwhelmed them for a few minutes before Laura broke it again. "Is DJ a whitelighter?"
Ray set down his mug as well. "Technically. What exactly happened that day? Even the Elders don't exactly know."
Various images and sounds of blood, screams, energy balls, echo's, fire, cries and red eyes flashed through Laura's mind.
"Well up until yesterday I thought I had killed him but hey, I guess I was wrong."
"DJ's technically a whitelighter but he wasn't dead that day."
"I tried to heal him but it wouldn't work."
"Yea, I know. It's complicated but for what I'm told... he wasn't dead." **************************************************************************** ***************
The next morning -
Ray had helped Laura gather up most of the things the kids would need for the trip by the time they both woke up in the morning.
"Who are you?" Pam greeted Ray.
"Honey, remember how I told you about angels and how they have powers like we do except that they're called whitelighters?"
Both of them nodded. "Well this is Ray, your guy's whitelighter. He's taking us to San Francisco."
"We're going!?" Pam exclaimed happily.
Laura smiled and nodded. "Yea, now come on. We packed some things for you this morning. Huddle together and hold hands."
Laura took Ray's and Pam's hands. Pam took Laura's and Tim's hands. Tim took Pam's and Ray's hands and obviously Ray took Laura's and Tim's hands.
"Close your eyes" Ray told them. Laura ignored this as she had already orbed before. Soon she felt the familiar flying feeling that she had always loved. Soon she recognized the walls around her as being inside the Manor. She was so surprised she fell out of the orb before they hit the ground and to the people in the living room it would've looked like she had fell from the ceiling.
"Mom!" Pam and Tim exclaimed letting their hands go when they landed. They tried to run to her but they're dizziness stopped them. Ray held them back and up straight explaining that it was normal for first orbs.
Then Laura spoke. "Ray when I said San Francisco, I wasn't exactly thinking here in San Francisco!"
She then acknowledged the people in the living room and the people who had been in other rooms but came in after hearing all the noise. She flipped herself up, surprising the heck out of Ray and her children. She turned around where she knew she would come face-to-face with Piper.
"Hello mother."
Piper dropped the plate was carrying but without even looking down at it, Laura waved her hand in a circle and upwards, the plate froze and rose back up. She grabbed it and gave it a gentle toss to the couch where Paige, Phoebe and Wyatt were all sitting. Phoebe caught it.
"Sam" Piper exhaled.
Laura rolled her eyes and turned around. Leo was in the other kitchen doorway.
"Leo" She acknowledged.
"Hey Ray." Leo said to Ray who was still holding on to Pam and Tim.
"Hey Leo." He replied
"Come on, we're out of here." Laura told him, she walked back over and took Pam's hand again. He sighed and orbed out. **************************************************************************** ***************
Hotel -
About fifteen minutes later the four were settling into a room. "Oh" Laura exhaled as she saw two beds. One for Tim and Pam and one for...
"It's okay" Ray told her. "I sleep 'up there.'"
"Okay" Laura told him softly. "Thanks"
Tim and Pam exchanged a look of happiness they had never seen their mom be this comfortable with another single guy. She even hated to have guy friends a lot. She had always said she was worried that if something happened between them that the twins would get too attached to him and then it might not work out.
Ray was just about to leave when two warlocks blinked in. He orbed and pushed Tim and Pam back when he was mid-reform.
"Take them!" Laura yelled. Before Ray could reform he orbed again, this time with Tim and Pam.
"Nice." The first warlocks spoke. "A Charmed Ones daughter."
"I thought you'd like it." The other one spoke.
Laura threw out her hands and the lamp off to the side of them exploded.
"Nice aim!" The first one spoke again.
Laura then squinted her eyes and the first one then started to collapse. She was using her telepathy to drain his powers. Once she had enough she looked at the athame he had in his black pocket and as she held out her hand, Laura's eyes rolled over black. A black mist formed in her hand before the athame produced in her hand. She threw it and vanquished the first warlock that was still on the ground. The second one blinked out willingly but not before throwing a fireball at Laura.
She wasn't able to jump out of the way in time and got hit in the side. since she was still feeding off of the first warlock's powers she blinked out. She landed in the attic.
"Jesus!" She groaned. She stood up from the floor and saw the book.
Once she made her way to the book, she took her hand from her side. Blood was heavily soaking through her dark blue long sleeved t-shirt.
She slowly placed her hand on the book and flipped through it with one hand. The attic door opened and Piper stepped through.
"Are you okay?!" She exclaimed running over to Laura.
"I'm okay." Laura explained softly.
"Let me see." Piper told her, placing a hand gently on her arm that was holding her side.
"Mom, I'm fine. Warlock's attacked at the hotel and Ray orbed Pam and Tim somewhere."
"They're downstairs." Piper replied
"I figured."
"Do you want Leo to heal you? I thought you had the power to heal?"
"Doesn't work on myself."
"Well that's stupid."
"Yea. It is."
"Stay here, keep applying pressure and I'll go get Leo."
Laura finally nodded and Piper left the room. She finally came across the warlocks that attacked her. They were brothers and they killed anything that basically came near them; that's how they could throw the fireballs.
Laura had just finished reading when Piper and Ray orbed back into the room.
"Move your arm." He told her gently as he approached her.
Once she did, he placed his hands on the wound, it healed within three short seconds.
"Thanks." She told him softly, smiling
"No problem"
Piper watched as the two looked over the book together. **************************************************************************** ***************
Later -
Laura watched as Pam and Tim got to know their grandparents, great-aunts and their uncle.
She snuck into her old bedroom. To her surprise it was never changed around. She stood there looking over little post-its left on her desk and photographs on her mirror. She sat down on the bed and pulled out her shoebox of songs. She sat in her desk chair and looked them over. Wyatt soon poked his head in.
"Hey big sis."
Laura quickly wiped away stray tears that had fallen and looked up at him. He had grown to be just about the same height as her.
"Hey."
"Mind if I sit?" He indicated to the bed.
"Go ahead."
He sat down, Wyatt had so many questions; probably more then anybody did but instead of pressuring her, he wanted to wait for the right time to ask her.
"How's school been?" Laura asked
"Busy. I'm graduating this school year."
"The last time I saw you, you were telling me how you were starting school that school year." She stood up and walked to her window.
"Why?" He asked
"Why what?"
"Why was that the last time you saw me?"
"Wyatt.." Laura sighed.
"Sorry." He told her.
She turned back to him and sat down on the bed next to her little brother; who wasn't so little anymore. She took one of his hands in her own.
"You and everybody else deserve the answers to all of your questions but I can't give them right now. Being here and seeing everybody is going to take some getting used to."
"And then?"
"First I have to be here without leaving again, I have to not run away and then? I'll give you your answers." **************************************************************************** ***************
