Disclaimer: Don't own anything.
A/N: Get ready everyone, for the sad past essential of all OCs (that's part of what I hate so much about them,) but I really hope you like this. Tell me if you find inaccuracies please. Oh and I wasn't sure if Patty was half or whole witch, so sorry if I messed that up. And about Paige using her orb-telekinesis on a Darklighter arrow.... Well I don't want to give too much away, so I'll ask at the end of the chapter.
Chapter 3: Never Told Anyone Before
All three were reluctant to do so, but like Shannen, Alyssa and Holly felt a bond between the three of them and Pam, along with the need to obey what she said. So they all sat down and began to listen to Pam's story.
Pam began her story, even though she was sure than one of the girls was pressing a silent security button.
"My mother's name was Paige Matthews. She was a very powerful witch, a Charmed One. In reality, the four Charmed Ones were spit up. Paige was the half sister of the three initial Charmed Ones. She was the child of Patty Halliwell and her Whitelighter, Sam Wilder. She was given to an orphanage shortly after she was born, because Whitelighters were not supposed to have relations with their charges. The only request of Patty was that the girl had a "P" name, and that they took good care of her. They raised her and she went from foster family to foster family. But they couldn't hide her magical destiny from her. Weird happenings kept going on wherever she went...."
"Like what?" Alyssa spoke up, "Like "magical" happenings?" Despite Holly and Shannen's incredulous looks, Alyssa was intrigued by the story. She had believed Pam as soon as she started to talk. She was very open minded, and ignored the looks that Holly and Shannen shot at her.
"Don't encourage the crazies!" Holly said in a whispered tone so that no one could hear her.
"Yes, "magical happenings"." Like once a friend of hers snuck up on her while she was reading. She orbed in and orbed out because fright triggered her power. The friend that sneezed right after they said boo, so they didn't see the orbs. Right after she ran to the bathroom. She splashed water on her face and couldn't believe what she saw. Then purple orbs surrounded her and she was brought up to a blindingly white atmosphere of clouds and light. A man in a gold, velvet, hooded robe came out of what looked like a main conference room. She was around 19 and thought that her life was always going to stay as it was, but in her heart she had always known she was different. The man explained to her that he was an Elder, a great force of good. He also explained that she was ½ Whitelighter. Whitelighters were a rank under Elders. They were humans who had done great good in their life and became Guardian Angels for witches and wiccans. She was told that her father was a Whitelighter and her mother was a witch. This made her ½ witch. Apparently she was the first one of the kind. She always told me it felt really good to be something special, for the first time in her life. She took it well, a lot better than most people, but she couldn't help but think it was a dream. The man went on to say that she had three older half sisters, who were all currently unaware of their powers. They would soon make the most powerful force of good that mankind had ever seen: The Charmed Ones. But no one had known about her because she was kept a secret."
The three girls looked dumbstruck. Either this girl had gone through and rehearsed this story many times, or she was truly genuine.
"I've heard the name Paige Matthews before." Shannen stated, pulling away from Pam's story. "It was in the back-up script. Aaron knew how much Alyssa and I were fighting, so he made a back-up script if one of us decided to quit. He doesn't know it but I saw it lying in his office, so naturally I thought it was next week's script. I thought I should get a leg up on my lines so I read it. The stories are really familiar, with a few changes. How did you get your hands on that?" Shannen raised her voice a little, suspecting that Pam had been lurking around the set.
"This is a real story, it's my story. I'll explain why the stories are similar later, right now; I'm running out of time.
"Let her finish Shannen." Said Alyssa who, hadn't spoke in a while. Shannen was surprised that Alyssa actually called her Shannen, and not some derogatory name for Irish people. She was about to open her mouth when Holly, too, spoke up.
"Yeah, Shannen, just let her finish the story."
A defeated Shannen followed suit and piped down so that Pam could tell her story.
"The Elder then took my mother into a main room, and emphasized this next part. 'Now understand this Paige. There are creatures called Warlocks and Demons. Warlocks are evil witches who want two things: to steal good witch's powers, and to kill good witches. Demons are evil magical beings that live in the Underworld, and they want nothing more than for all witches to be dead so that they can rule all worlds.' They were now in front of a Council of Elders. 'Now Paige,' he said, 'you were not supposed to receive your full power until you and two of the other Charmed Ones were to take hands in their home, the Halliwell Manor. But since you orbed today, (that's what happened when you disappeared in the lights and came back feeling dizzy, he said,) you are on the demonic radar. As Elders, we will alter the memories of those who have ever come encounter with you, so that they do not know you as and orphan, but as a close friend of the Halliwells. Only they will know who you really are. You cannot however, go back to Earth until they've received their powers. So you will stay here, though it is highly unorthodox.' She wouldn't have to wait for long, because as they spoke Phoebe Halliwell was reading an incantation from the Book of Shadows."
"But the Power of Four was too much for the new witches." Continued Pam. "The Power of Three was all that was supposed to exist. So my mother agreed to move away so that they could fulfill their destiny. She had said that since she had an active power, she could defend herself if demons came. She was assigned a separate Whitelighter, Jake Dempsey.........."
"Wait you mean Jake the server boy Jake?" Questioned Holly. "He's a Whitelighter?!"
"Don't believe everything you hear, Holly." Interjected Shannen. "We don't even know if she's telling the truth. These are all figments of Aaron Spelling's imagination. Magic isn't real"
"I'll just continue then." Pam went on. "Then you'll believe me." That or they put her in an insane asylum.
"So my mother moved away, and ended up in Sacramento. There she met and fell in love with a mane named John Robert Recanter. He was a mortal, my mother told him about her secret shortly after they started dating. She didn't tell him about the Halliwells. She figured that since he already knew about her secret, what was the point of getting into detail? They got married, and soon after had me. There weren't many demonic attacks targeted towards us. Most of them were directed towards the actual proclaimed Charmed Ones. The Elders had taken my mother's foster family, and she couldn't be in the same room with her real family, so she really took pride in keeping me and my father close to her. Sometimes she would teach me spells that she remembered from her brief days as a Charmed One. My dad always taught me vital life lessons at a young age. Surprisingly, I understood most of them and remember them today. Once my mother was telling me about spells that her and her sisters had to use on an evil witch named Tuwatha. She told me that Tuwatha used a power-binding spell against them, and that she needed 4 human hearts to perform it. I remember my dad saying 'you should never use that spell, Pam. You should never fight someone, good or evil, unless it's on fair grounds. Otherwise, you've lost all nobility. If you don't have nobility, you don't have a soul.' I was so young, only four. I never had any idea why he would tell me things like this at such a young age. Now I know that he just wanted me to know truth, he just wanted me to be strong."
"The night before he was killed, he told me this: 'Always follow your destiny Pam, because following destiny is the closest thing you can get to being and angel."
Pam tried to suppress tears as she was preparing to tell the girls what she had never told anyone, she was going to tell them every detail of her father's murder.
"In the five years that my parents had been together, the Halliwell sisters had too, married and had children." Pam spoke in a quivering voice, and the three girls came over and held her for support.
"Prue had a mortal husband and a half mortal child. Her husband's name was Jack Sheridan, and he insisted on naming the child Jackie. Leo and Piper had not been able to have a baby, but they adopted a baby and named her Patty. Now it was only Phoebe who was left alone. The Elders told me that one night; Phoebe was watching television in the living room. A demon shimmered in a no one could hear Phoebe scream, because they were all asleep. Meanwhile at my house, my father and I were coming back from take- your-daughter-to-work day when we walked in on a demon attacking my mother. He was a power-sensing demon, and unlike most of his kind, he actually acquired a power of his own. He sensed my power when we walked through the door, and hurled an energy ball at me without even looking back. I hadn't come into my powers yet, and I had no idea what to do. But I didn't have to think. My father jumped into front of me. He got hit by the energy ball, but didn't die instantly. My mother stabbed the demon with his own athamae, and ran to my father. Jake was hit with a Darklighter arrow in the next room. My father's last words were 'follow you destiny Pam,' and with that, he left this world. Since we were witches, we could see my father spirit exit his body. But instead of just floating 'Up There,' he left in a swirl of blue and white orbs. 'Mommy, Mommy' I screamed, 'Get him back, say a spell!' But she said simply, 'He's at peace now, he's being rewarded for his big heart and kindness honey. He's at peace.' We ran over to Jake and my mother used her orb-telekinesis to throw the arrow across the room. She then orbed him 'Up There' to get healed. We were both sobbing and heart-broken, but my mother tried to hide it. She was stubborn and liked to pretend things didn't get to her."
"Back at the Manor, my father orbed in the living room where Phoebe was being attacked. He didn't know what he was doing there, but he did see someone getting attacked and knew he had to help. My mother had orbed him many places before, so he had gotten used it by now. He gave the demon a kick in his rib cage, then punch right across his face. He was rendered unconscious. After Phoebe got a good look at the demon, she recognized it as a Cazi demon. Lucky for her Piper had just made a fresh batch of vanquishing potions for Cazi's. While he was still unconscious, Phoebe ran to the kitchen and picked up a vile. She then tossed in onto the Cazi and he burned in flames. After hearing the noise, the two couples came running down the stairs. They came just in time to see a burning Cazi, Phoebe with a lack of breathe, and tall man standing next to her. Phoebe asked for my father's name, but just in that moment he disappeared in purple orbs. He then appeared in front of a council if Elders."
A/N: So can Paige use her orb-telekinesis on Darklighter Arrows? I guess it would be touching her orbs, but she does it in the Season Finale, (which I finally saw because my Aunt taped it for me. But she was at my little sister's show, and she came to drop it off while I was writing this chapter.) I don't know. So either I'm wrong or I changed it for the story. Is it still too wordy? Did I make Pam talk too long? Was it all understandable and relatively possible? Did I rev you guys up for something that wasn't anything? PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
A/N: Get ready everyone, for the sad past essential of all OCs (that's part of what I hate so much about them,) but I really hope you like this. Tell me if you find inaccuracies please. Oh and I wasn't sure if Patty was half or whole witch, so sorry if I messed that up. And about Paige using her orb-telekinesis on a Darklighter arrow....
