A/N: Mandebella: I so think the show would still be more of drama if Shannen were still there! PruedenceHalliwell: I hadn't thought about Andy and Piper bitching at one another but you are right! Zythe, I'm trying to script things a little differently, but you will have to wait and see what becomes of lady Paige. Son Gomay Vidal Goku: Yes, there is a likelihood that Andy will transform into a Wendigo.
Charmed In the Afterlife: A Perfectly Evil Plan:
The Wendigo appear in the Source's cavern, licking Andy's flesh and blood from her talons.
"So it appears that the new sister has powers she unaware of yet," The Source scratched his chin. He'd purposely sent the Wendgo after Paige to see if her powers would materialize.And having Andy there had been an added bonus. A tracer infected by the Wendigo's poison would make a nice addition to the army that the Source was creating in an attempt to destroy the greater good. Once he had destroyed the Charmed Ones and taken their new sister's powers the underworld would be unstoppable.
"I so wanted to taste of the Tracers' heart". The Wendigo purred changing into her human form. "His powers would have made a nice additions to the ones I've already acquired. Bred from evil itself the Source had manufactured the Wendigo, to stalk to witches and warlocks for the sole purpose of stealing their powers.
The source laughed. "Perhaps when his transformation is complete, I shall let the two of you mate. Now be off back to your compound". The Source flicked his fingers, waving the Wendigo away. It was essential that he kept the foul creature well hidden and protected so that the Charmed Ones wouldn't destroy it before the Wendigo's poison had an opportunity to consume Andy's soul.
Paige's Apartment
"There's no answer from Morris' I had to leave a message on his voice mail" Paige said worried as she entered the living room of her apartment with a first aid kit.
"Ok" Andy rested his head on the back of Paige's couch closing his eyes against the pain of his injuries. He needed to get to Leo but how? He didn't dare asked Paige to call the manor out of fear that Prue would find out. She didn't need the stress right now, not with Shax planning to attack. Prue needed to keep her energy focused on the vanquish and protecting Amanda as well as her self and the baby.
"Hey ya still with me?" Paige sank to her knees and started to undo the buttons' on Andy's shirt. Andy blinked back at the sound of her voice.
"Ewe...some of these are pretty nasty are you sure you don't want me to take you to a hospital or something?"
"No" Andy hissed as Paige applied some peroxide to the wound on his neck. "Are you all right?" Andy asked inspecting her face. He needed to know if the Wendigo had slashed her.
"I'm fine but I can't believe your worried about me, when that thing almost killed you" Paige tore strips of cloth to make temporary bandages to cover the wounds. "I'm Paige by the way, Paige Mathews"
"Andy" Somehow Andy managed a small grin at the goodness that was shining in her eyes. Paige pressed a folded towel applying pressure to oozing wound in Andy's chest.
"Hold that right there for minute" Paige said sweetly taking Andy's hand and placing over the clothes while she cut a large piece of gauze and medical tape. "So Andy what do you do?"
"I used to be a police inspector," Andy swallowed by means of a grimace.
"Sorry," Paige apologized, "is that how you know Morris?"
"He used to be my partner"
"I'm work for Social Services" Paige grinned, placing the last of the bandages over Andy's wounds. Several moments of silence passed, as she meticulously made sure she'd covered every scratch. "There all done"
"You really have a healing touch" Andy sighed letting a wave of pain pass . Paige pulled to her feet and quickly picked up the contents of her first aid kit and shoved them back into their plastic container.
"My Mother used to tell me that I was natural" she blushed. "She said I have a gift".
Andy looked about the room letting his eyes settle on a picture of Paige holding a baby.
"No" Paige shook her head, flicking her gaze to the photo, "that's just a little girl that was with me for while. I called her my Angel Girl"
"She looks a lot my daughter when she was that age," Andy commented noting the full head of dark hair and crystal colored eyes. "What's your daughter's name?"
"Amanda, she's almost two"
"Really?" Paige's eyes suddenly got big. That's about how old Angel Girl is now. She was only with me for a little but she kind of has a special place in my heart. I still think about her all the time"
"I know what you mean," Andy grinned thinking of Amanda. A knock sounded at the door and Paige politely excused herself.
"Can I help you?"
"I'm Inspector Morris" Darryl replied flashing his badge "you left a message on my voice mail about Andy?"
"Yes please come in," Paige invited. "He's right in here. The creature hurt him real bad"
"Creature?" Darryl face immediately changed to this is one of those situations I don't want to be in mode.
Andy rolled his eyes meeting Darryl's, "I'll explain everything later"
"Oh I'm sure you will," Darryl grinned displeased. "It's you and me back to freaky cases, isn't?" With Paige's help the two helped Andy to his feet leading him back to the door.
"Will he be okay?" Paige asked they had him settled into Darryl's car.
"He'll be fine, but uh you can call me in the morning and I'll let you know how he's doing," Darryl handed Paige a business card.
Paige then leaned into the passenger side window, smiling. Sweetly, she kissed Andy's cheek. "Thanks for saving my life back at the park"
"Anytime it's sort of what I do" Andy felt a sprint of heat run up his neck at the feel of her lips against his skin.
"Be well" Paige whispered heading back up to her apartment.
"What?" Andy glanced at Darryl meeting his steely gaze.
"I don't even what to know what you are going to say to Prue about this. Pretty girl, you all beat up in her apartment..." Darryl replied throwing the car into drive.
Manor
Piper was laying across her bed, hugging a pillow when the dark lighter returned. He settled into the corner of her room and began to speak to her subliminally.
"You despise your older sister Prue. She has everything that you want."
"Pipa!"
The darklighter grinned evilly when he saw Amanda motor into the room carrying a set of snap and lock beads in her little hands.
"Pipa play!" Amanda crowed coming up behind her beloved Aunt.
Taking full advantage, the dark lighter continued his cruel game You can't stand your niece. You want a baby of your own.
"Go away!" Piper told Amanda, making the little girl look confused. Skillfully, Amanda tried to climb up onto the bed: angering Piper all the more.
Snarling, Piper turned whirling on the child, "I said NO! Damn It!" Startled, Amanda's bottom lip began to quiver. Huge tears sprang from her eyes as she slid back to the floor.
"You want her to leave," the dark lighter whispered directing Piper to sit up.
Piper's eyes narrowed as Amanda began to cry, "Go on get!"
At that moment the dark lighter called upon a lower level demon, bearing the power of fire. Dressed in black, the demon wore a human face, but flashed fang like teeth as he produced a ball of fire and aimed it purposefully at the screaming toddler.
Amanda? Piper's first instinct was to save the child.
"You can't stop him" The dark lighter told Piper, "there is nothing you can do. You are helpless." Piper sat frozen on the bed watching as the demon prepared to attack just as Prue entered the room.
"Piper do something!" Prue shouted.
The demon hurled the fireball at Amanda and Prue quickly deflected it with a wave of her arm sending it back into the demons chest. The demon screamed burst into flames as Prue rushed into the rooming scooping up her screaming child. "You're okay," she whispered holding Amanda tightly to her, "You're okay, the bad demons gone"
The darklighter chuckled and left in a flurry of invisible orbs.
"I don't know" Piper choked watching her sister stormed from the room with Amanda. "I am sorry Prue! I'd never do anything to hurt Amanda!" Flustered, Piper laid her head down into her pillow and began to cry hysterically.
"What's happening to me?"
