A/N= ALRIGHT NOW THE CHARMED ONES ARE MORE IN THE PICTURE AND THE STORY IS COMING MORE TOGETHER. AND AGAIN I DON'T OWN THE CHARMED CHARACTERS.

Danielle was sleeping fitfully at her kitchen table. The alcohol had really taken an effect. Danielle was dreaming about her mother. The demons were pounding nails into her skin. There were thousands of demons hitting her. All she could hear was pounding. Pounding. Pounding. The dream disappeared when she heard her name being called.

"Danny"shouted a familiar voice. And then more pounding. Danny moaned and looked up. It must have been at least nine o'clock in the morning. Man she hated hang overs.

"Danny" shouted what sounded like Nikki.

"I'm coming"shouted Danny her voice slightly blurred. Danielle went and opened up the door. She was right it was Nikki.

"You look awful"said Nikki who had a ugly looking bruise on her face. Danny just looked at her.

"Have you been drinking"?she asked incredioiusly.

"Yeah"said Danielle letting her in.

"How much did you drink"?Nikki asked.

"Enough"replied Danielle as she fell into the sofa.

"What does your mom think did she ground you"?asked Nikki still not believing that Danny could get that drunk. Danielle jsut stared into space and then burst into tears.

"I don't know how my mom is thinking right now"she cried out. Nikki put an arm around her. Something was wrong.

"Whats wrong Danny"?she asked severely. Danny just shook her head and criedn even harder.

"Do you need help, are you in trouble damn it talk to me"said Nikki worried for her friends safety. But still Danielle just shook her head. She was in a hang over thought Nikki. She quickly dug in her back pack and found what she was looking for. It was an unmarked bottle of pills. Nikki had used them many times when she had a hang over they worked in about half an hour. She gave Danny a pill to take. Danny took it and was a sleep in five minutes.

Half an hour later Danny woke up more alert than ever. Her hang over was clearly gone.

"I might need those soon"she told her friend. Nikki just looked at her sternly.

"What kind of trouble are you in"?she asked so seriously that Danielle almost burst into laughter.

"Your loosing it "thought Danielle to herself. "Get a grip". Nikki was still looking at her only more softly this time.

"I can't tell you"said Danny expecting argument.

"Do you need help"?asked Nikki.

"Yes but you can't give it to me"said Danielle her eyes starting to get teary. Nikki gave her a hug and said she understood.

"You better figure this out"Nikki told her as she was leaving. " this is serious no screwing around with alcohol any more". Danielle nodded. Nikki was right she did need to figure this out.

Danielle sat on the couch and started to think. It was already established that she would have to kill the cahrmed ones to get her mom back. But could she do it? Danielle wasn't sure she could go through with it. Well she would just have to no matter what. Her mom told her to go to the charmed ones for help not to kill them thought Danielle suddenly. Doing that might not work though. It might back fire. No she would do what ever these horrible people said for her to do. She would have to.

So now she had her plan she would go to the charmed ones for help but just to get them to go to the building. Danny thought about her mom and how weak she looked and how scared she was. Her mother was never scared! Danielle almost burst into tears again. She instictivley reached into her pocket and brought out some weed. She wasn't an addict or anything but she sometimes used it when she was feeling down. But thinking on what Nikki told her she put it back in her pocket. She had to focus. Well first thing to do was to meet the charmed ones anyway. She had the address on the note the Malik Demon had forged. She picked it up and gasped! It was the pink sided house she walked by everyday on the way home from school.

It didn't matter though. She would go through anyone. Still Danielle paused. Thinking about what her mother said maybe she would be better to join forces with the charmed ones. They were the most powerful witches in the world! They could help her with anything. But still Danielle thought she had a better cahnce of following instructions from the seer and Malik Demon.

"They could kill me"thought Danielle.

"They could really hurt me or even kill me if I tried to hurt any of them"she said aloud now. But the wouldn't hurt her. They couldn't hurt her. Not a thirteen year old kid. Plus they wouldn't know that Danny was trying to kill her. Finally making a decision Danielle grabbed her coat and headed down the block to Prescot Street.
