A/N: This chapter is a play on the phrase, "sealed with a kiss". charmedsisters: Well, Pam is evil, but since she still has her witch half, she had a innate sense that something wasn't quite right, but she didn't really know for sure. Plus, she hadn't killed an innocent yet, so she wasn't "evil evil" yet. money makes me smile: ;) You'll have to read on to find out. wyatt333: No, Benjamin Turner is Cole's father. You'll find out about Adam in due time (but he's not The Source) and we won't be seeing Ivanna again. (At least, not for this sub plot.) Evilyn just had it out for Ivanna. I don't think I really explained why. But she's evil and why does evil do the things they do? C.C. McKenna: Nope, Peanut likes Evilyn too. lol So do I, for that matter. rjf2004: Yep. You'll find out how Evilyn is connected to the Turners in this chapter. Jade-eye Halliwell: It's partly explained in this chapter. But I'll explain anyway; for Evilyn, just like Balthezor, there has always been a summoning spell. A long time ago, Adam put a spell on the summoning spell, so if anyone ever used it again, he would be able to track Evilyn to where ever she was summoned to. Why he did this, you have to find out by reading this chapter. peanut2lb: Aww, you're so awesome! Reviews like that make me feel so good! :-D moonfirefairy, winter blaze, CharmedAli, and Piper xox Leo: Thanks for the encouragement! LeoPiperAndyPrue: Cool, thanks for the imput. I'll try to stick to that. ;) Phyre: Hey! I was wondering when you were going to come back! I know exactly how you feel, I've been busy all week and ugh....I'm SO tired. And then a load of bad things happened, so I'm lucky to even be typing this. I hope you enjoy this chapter! As for Evilyn, I'm not really sure yet. ;) (Sorry for the lateness, but this week has been unbelievably stressful!)
The Children Of Light
Chapter 15: Sealed With A Kill
Adam brought his lips tightly to Evilyn's and pressed them together, forming a tight bond. The kiss lasted several minutes and then he shoved her to the ground, watching as her skin tone began 2 shades lighter, and his kiss began to take full effect. He'd waited for too long. Ever since his love affair with the great demoness had ended, when her son had discovered he was going to backstab Evilyn, he'd vowed to kill her. Unfortunately, Balthezor was some how able to access a cloaking ritual upon his mother, protecting Evilyn from him. But he'd been smart and he had used a spell so that whenever someone were to summon Evilyn with the only summoning spell that existed for her, he would be able to instantly track her. What he didn't know, was that the witch-demon Blessed One has shimmered in, to see the whole thing.
"Grandma!" Pam cried out, as tears streamed down her face. She ran to Evilyn's side and grasped at her grandmother's hands. "No! No, no, no!"
Adam laughed at the small girl. "So, that pesty little half breed son of yours did have a child?" He asked. "I should finish your line right now!" He said, as his hand turned to flames and he brought it barreling down towards Pam's head.
Pam felt her father's protective arms wrap around her and then the familiar feeling of shimmering enveloped her, as her father shimmered her out of harm's way.
Adam's flaming fist pounded into the wooden floor behind Evilyn, who was to die soon. "Damnit!" He raged, as he turned and saw the father and daughter on the opposite side of the room. He shot a blast of flames at them.
"No!" Piper screamed, as she held out her hands and froze the flames, inches from Cole and Pam.
Adam turned to the Charmed witches. "You're in my way!" With a mighty wave of his hand, all four Charmed One went flying in different directions, eaching landing on the ground and falling into a world of darkness. He turned back to Cole and Pam. "Just me and you." He smirked. "Once I've killed you, I'll kill the rest of them, and become ruler of the Underworld."
Pam held on to her father's hand, as her fury grew the more and more she stared at her grandmother. Suddenly she felt a powerful surge of power overtake her and then she held out her hand, creating an energy ball.
"Pam, how did you..." Cole stopped mid sentence. "Nevermind. Throw it, hurry!" He yelled, as he created an energy ball of his own.
In unison, Pam and Cole hurled the energy balls at the demon. On contact, they sent Adam stumbling back a bit. Cole and Pam exchanged looks.
The power of the young one is strong. Adam thought. But I'll kill her anyway! He raised his arms, shooting a powerful bolt of lightning through one hand and a blazing stream of flames through the other.
Adam thought. He raised his arms, shooting a powerful bolt of lightning through one hand and a blazing stream of flames through the other.This time it was Pam's turn. She shimmered herself and her father out of the way of the impending attacks and right behind Adam. She took one last look at her grandmother, as tears spilled over in her eyes. "I'll take him, you just keep throwing energy balls at him." Pam said, with finality. She broke free of her father's grasp and jumped at Adam's back, digging her nails in and wripping off his shirt, as she felt to the ground.
Adam spun around, only to be hit by one of Cole's energy balls.
Pam shimmered out and then shimmered in, on Adam's back. She quickly dig her nails into Adam's bare back, causing the skin to pop up and then blood to spurt out the wounds. She felt a surge of power rush into her, like she'd felt moments ago with her father. She smiled knowingly. Then she moved her hands to Adam's head and wrapped them tightly around the murderer's head and then her hands turned to flames and began to scald the demon. "Hurry, daddy!" She screamed. "Hit him!"
Cole quickly charged an energy ball for each hand and sent them flying into Adam, causing him to fly into the wall, but not before Pam shimmered to safety.
"Just keep hitting him." Pam said, as she made her way over to Adam. She held out her arms and scalding flames erupted from her palms, at the same moment they hit Adam, Cole sent a barrage of energy balls into the demon.
"Aghhh!" Adam screamed, before exploding into a firery vanquish, leaving only a huge black scortch mark behind.
Pam's eyes blazed, as she rushed back to her dying grandmother, and knelt down next to her. "Grandma.." She whispered, as she held onto Evilyn's hand.
The Charmed Ones seemed to awake about the same time, after Adam's vanquish. All in aw at the scene before them.
Evilyn managed a brief smile. "Pa-Pamela.." She coughed, as the poison from Adam's lips overcame her. "I-I'm so proud o-of you."
"Don't go!" Pam cried. "Please, don't go!"
Evilyn merely shook her head. "I ha-have to." She soon felt another set of warm, strong hands take ahold of her other hand. Her eyes shifted, only to settle on her only son. "C-Cole."
"Mother." Cole whispered, gently stroking Evilyn's hair.
"M-may-maybe I should've l-l-listened to you, all of th-those ye-years ago."
"Yeah." Cole replied.
"I-I'm s-sorry."
"I know." Cole whispered. "I forgive you."
Tears seemed to glisten in Evilyn's eyes, as Cole's last three words. "Thank you." She gently squeezed her son's hand. "I love you, Cole."
Pam sniffed.
"And y-you, Pamela." Evilyn whispered, as she slightly squeezed Pam's hand.
"I love you too, grandma." Pam whispered, through tears.
Evilyn's eyes shut.
"I love you too, mother." Cole whispered, faintly. He felt his mother's hand wrap around his own, one last time, then it fell limp. Then he watched as his mother's body faded into nothingness.
Pam fell into her father's arms and burst into tears, crying into Cole's shoulder.
"I know, I know." Cole whispered to his inconsolable daughter. He knew in his heart that his mother was evil, a pure demon. But she was also his mother and in her own way, she loved him and visa versa. There was that definite bond between mother and son. He gently rocked his daughter back and forth. "Shh..." He whispered, softly. Cole also knew that even though his mother had attempted to bring Pam's evil side to the surface, she also loved the child as well. There was nothing in this world that could replace the love of family. Nothing at all.
----1 Week Later----
The Charmed Ones, The Blessed Ones, The Children Of Light, Andy, Leo, Cole, and Glenn had all assembled in the living room of the Manor. Phoebe and Cole were standing before the large family, hand in hand.
"What's all this about?" Piper asked, as she gently rocked Prissy.
"We've got something to tell you." Phoebe said, as she stared nervously at her sisters, especially Prue and Paige.
"Yes?" Prue persisted.
"We've decided that the Manor is too crowded." Cole filled in.
"And we're moving out." Phoebe finished.
"Moving out?" Prue, Piper, and Paige asked in unison.
"Yes." Phoebe answered.
"To where?" Paige asked.
"To the home where Cole grew up."
"That place where his mother took Pam?" Prue snapped. "The place that has been in the family of demons for generations?!"
"Yes." Phoebe replied. "We're moving in there. With Evilyn's death, The Villa automatically goes to the heir, which is Cole. As well as it being good for the family, it's also a strategic move on our part."
"We'll be harnessing The Ingress for the side of good, instead of evil." Cole filled in.
Piper looked worried. "But-"
"We'll only be a shimmer away." Phoebe said. "Or if you really need us, you can send over Leo or Paige."
"Phoebe..." Prue began.
"Look, Prue, we're not asking for your blessing. We're going no matter how you feel about it." Phoebe cut in.
Prue just stood up. "Whatever." She spun on her heel and walked out of the room.
Paige shook her head and orbed out.
Piper sighed and walked over to her younger sister, giving her a heart felt hug. "I'm gonna miss you hanging around here, Pheebs."
"Don't worry, I'm sure you won't be able to get rid me of that easily." Phoebe joked, as she pulled away from her sister. "Besides, we have a lot of moving to do."
"And guess what!" Pam grinned.
"What?" Piper asked, as she knelt down next to her niece.
"I get my own room! Daddy said I could have Grandma Evilyn's room, 'cause The Villa is really big and there are lots and lots of rooms there!"
Piper ruffled the child's hair. "Good for you! But you better keep it clean." Piper warned.
Pam frowned. "I will." She replied, glumly.
"I know." Piper laughed, as she gave the girl a hug. "You be sure to visit me a lot, okay?"
"A huh." Pam replied.
"Good girl." Piper said. She stood up and walked over to Persia. "I'm going to miss making pies with you."
Persia grinned, remembering the latest Christmas. "Me too, Aunt Piper." She felt her Aunt Piper's arms wrap around her and she did the same.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Aunt Piper."
"You be careful, now! And don't hesitate to call any time!" Piper said.
"I won't, I promise."
"And you better visit a lot, because Prissandra's going to miss you terribly!"
"I will, I promise!" Persia laughed. She walked over to Prissy and picked up the baby. "I'm gonna miss you, little one."
Prissandra tugged at Persia's hair.
"I love you too, baby." Persia said, as she handed Persia back to Leo. "Well, I've gotta go." She walked back over to her mother, step father, and half sister.
"Goodbye, for now." Phoebe said, as she took Cole's hand and Pam's hand.
"Bye!" Pam called.
"Goodbye, Cole." Piper said, then gave him a quick hug. "We'll miss you being around here too."
Cole smiled. "And I'm going to miss those amazing meals."
"Oh, I don't know." Piper said with a wink. "You've got Persia."
Persia took ahold of Cole's hand and looked down at Pam, which was the last link.
The room became quiet, waiting for Pam.
Pam looked up at her elder sister, hesitating to take the hand of the person that she hated so much. Her fingers twitched and then she finally reached out and took Persia's hand.
"Bye." Phoebe said, holding in her excitement. Maybe Pam is finally going to accept Persia now?
With that, the group disappeared in Pam and Cole's shimmers, to begin their lives in a new home.
----9:00 P.M.----
The light was dim, as a soothing rain stumbled outsided. The air had an old, musty smell to it, and Pam's heavy breathing was the only sound within the massive hallway. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was streaked with dried tears, as she stood and stared at the painting of her grandmother. It had been the newest addition and no matter what anyone were to say, she may have been on the side of darkness, but she still cared about her family. Pam ran her red sleeve across her stuffy nose, as her lips trembled. She was holding back the urge to break down. She walked over to the microstero, it had been the 'hottest thing' this year. Her hand shook violently, as she clicked the tiny green 'play' button, for about the 20th time. Soft, sad music began to play in the form of Rebecca Lynn Howard's, 'Memorized'.
"All these nights alone, without your hand to hold, you still feel so close, almost like a ghost, and I see you, and I miss you.
Every little sigh, the taste of the tears you cried....The way you held my face, your strength, your fears, your grace. The things that you believed, I remember evrything. Your face, your skin, your eyes. I've got you memorized.
I just can't forget, the linger of your scent, sweet and innocent, just like a baby's breath. I still feel you, and I hear you.
Every little sigh, the taste of the tears you cried....The way you held my face, your strength, your fears, your grace. The things that you believed, I remember evrything. Your face, your skin, your eyes. I've got you memorized.
Every little sigh, the taste of the tears you cried....The way you held my face, your strength, your fears, your grace."
Pam felt strong, warm arms surround her. She leaned safely into them, turning her head slightly, to look deep into her father's eyes.
Cole gently rubbed his daughter's arm. He was suffering just the same.
"You will always be, the only one for me. I'll never let you go, deep in my heart I know, you are the only one....My earth, my moon, my sun.
Every little sigh, the sound of your last goodbye. I got you memorized.
I got you memorized, I got you memorized, I got you memorized, I got you memorized."
TO BE CONTINUED....
