Princess Pinky: Glad you liked it! Karis is the bossy one and the will be a chapter about why she is! Glad you liked the ice sliding! Your idea for a subplot is actually one I have planned, but Glenn and Jennifer won't be there, it's just be Glenn's parents, Amber and Karis! I've added in orbing now! Paige is still a whitelighter for Amber and Jennifer! I thought some mother/daughter parts with Prue and Grace would be nice! The burst of light which shot from Aurora and hit Phoebe was a burst of emotions, and as Aurora gets older she will be able to create these bursts by herself and use them to kill demons, but that's not for ages yet! Glad you like this title!
Peanut2lb: Glad you liked it! As I said to Princess Pinky Karis being bossy and spoiled will be explained! Glad you liked Prue's green pig line! Kyle and Paige backed down because deep down neither of them wanted to bind Aurora's powers, and Karis helped them realise that by proving she would protect her little sister from anything, in this case protect her from them and a binding spell! I explained about the white blast to Princess Pinky so read it from there!
The-Cheese-Fairy: Glad you liked it! As you know the middle name if after you! Karis is probably gonna be worse than Prue lol! Glad you like Charlotte! Thanks for the compliment about my writing getting better! I'll see what I can do about a guy subplot! Sorry I made you 'confuzzled'! Karis is super protective of both her sisters, as you'll find out when Amber comes in for a bit later on!
Money makes me smile: Glad you liked it! Glad you liked Karis' line to Kyle, you're the only one who commented on that, thanks! You'll have to see about who leaves at the end! Can't wait for chap13 of ur fic! I can honestly say I can't think of a good sci-fi movie at the moment, but I'll keep thinking!
RJF: Glad you liked it! Phoebe gets her chance to shine in this chapter, and more will become of her seer-ness later on! Glad you liked the race!
Psychokitty3: Glad you liked it! You'll have to see about the next generation thing! I might do a Patsy/Charley subplot! The whitelighter version of transmogrification if is called glamouring, and I'm already planning on giving that to one of the whitelighter-witches!
Sherlock Halliwell:
Cassandra sat on the kitchen floor of the penthouse, she glanced around the room until she spotted her pacifier on the table,
"pababia," she called, in her one year old language, stretching out her hand, she got annoyed when it didn't shimmer into her palm and shimmered onto the table, grabbing it and stuffing it into her mouth before shimmering back down to the floor.
"Cassie, how did you get that pacifier from the table?" Cole asked, as he walked in,
"shimmy," she replied, meaning to say shimmer,
"you know what mommy says about you shimmering around the house," he said,
"you dada," she stated, as he picked her up,
"yes I am, and you shimmering doesn't bother me, plus mommy's not home, so I'm not going to say anything about it," he told her, she grinned and took advantage of what he had just said by shimmering into the main room and running over to the TV, pressing the button and turning it on. Then the little girl shimmered onto the windowsill and popped her head out the window,
"Cassandra Penelope Halliwell-Turner, get your head out of that window now!" Phoebe exclaimed, as she entered the penthouse, Cole walked in to see what the shouting was about and found Cassandra shimmering away from the window and into her bedroom.
"I've made us some reservations for tonight," the half demon/half mortal told his wife,
"but where will Cassie go?" she asked, "Paige and Kyle have orbed to London with the kids so Karis can see Glenn, Piper and Leo have taken the kids for a little holiday in Olympia, and Prue and Andy are both at work and have left Grace with a neighbour," she stated.
"Well, I've asked your dad to baby-sit," he said,
"will Gabrielle be there?" she questioned, her expression hardening,
"probably," he sheepishly replied, "but at least Cassie will be able to spend some time with her sister," fury bubbled inside Phoebe,
"we don't even know who she truly is," The Angelic Seer said, "so I'm not leaving our daughter there,"
"but Victor will be there too," he said, but she wouldn't give in, "our reservation is for eight o'clock, so I'll give you until seven to prove to me Gabrielle can't be trusted with Cassie, and if you can then we'll summon your mom or grams to look after her," he continued, she hesitated before shaking his hand,
"deal," she agreed. I've only got four hours to do this, so I have to think carefully Phoebe thought to herself, as she walked off out of the penthouse.
Half an hour later, the Angelic Seer was sitting at her computer in her office,
"I hope that's tomorrow's column you're typing," Elise said, as she entered,
"it is," Phoebe told her, minimizing what she had just been looking at and continuing to type her advise column as if that's would she'd been doing all this time. Elise raised her eyebrows suspiciously before leaving,
"took her long enough," Phoebe muttered, getting the other thing back onto the screen, her eyes scanning through it, "so it looks like our little Gabby's ex-husband was pushed off a building, just like that other man was, which she was blamed for," she said.
"Wait a minute," Phoebe said, "her husband was the guy she was said to have pushed off her building, and it turns out her had quite a pretty penny in his pocket," she continued, "gold digger, lets just hope dad doesn't go winning the lottery anytime soon."
Not much later, Phoebe arrived at her dad's and Gabrielle's house,
"I think it's time for some advanced sight," she whispered, focusing her gaze on one of the windows and activating one of the powers she used less often, "nobodies home," she grinned, after checking all of the windows with her magnifying glass-like ability. She walked round to the back of the house and made sure nobody was looking before levitating up into the air, clinging onto an open window and climbing through it,
"operation break in, complete," she said, "now I just need to find some proof that my dad married a psycho super bitch." Phoebe walked into the bathroom and began rummaging through Gabrielle's stuff, she was looking through a makeup bag when she came across a small, clear, bag containing glowing white tablets,
"drugs, I'm thinking magical drugs," Phoebe said, stuffing them into her pocket and moving into the bedroom.
"This manual searching is taking too long," she stated, firing electric bolts in numerous directions and blasting stuff everywhere, "oops," she said, as some of the electricity shot at her dad's laptop, destroying it. Phoebe began to glance through the belongings she bad blown everywhere, with her power, but found nothing, then she spotted Gabrielle's jewellery box and opened that up. She pulled out all the draws and opened the doors on either side,
"I'm guessing she bought some of these with the money she got from her rich husband who conveniently died," she muttered, she kept on searching until she came across a pendant which had three red jewels in the shape of a devil's head, two horns and a head. The jewels were imbedded in a gold oval, and had strange markings around the outside, with three words carved into the back,
"gafl arash dubvi," she read. A tornado of red lights exited the pendant and surrounded it, pulling it out of Phoebe's hands and into the air,
"uh oh," she murmured, as the red lights consumed the necklace and formed the shape of a woman, with the pendant around her neck.
"Gabrielle, I told you not to summon me ever again after you let this utopia thing go ahead," the figure of red light said, before forming a real woman,
"I recognise you," Phoebe whispered,
"and I recognise you, you're a charmed one and what are you doing using the amulet I gave to my daughter to summon me?" the woman questioned.
"Actually, I'm not a charmed one anymore, I died and became The Angelic Seer," Phoebe began,
"just as bad," the woman snorted, Phoebe glared at her,
"as I was saying, I'm the Angelic Seer and I accidentally worked this amulet after breaking into your daughter's house," she continued.
"Well I'm sort of glad you did summon me, now I can make a grand return to the world and end Utopia, before getting rid of my daughter and taking her daughter as my own, then I really will be the mother of the powerful devil child," the woman said,
"I don't think so," Phoebe growled, shooting electricity at the woman and throwing her backwards into the wall, before chanting:
"return this evil, to where she's from,
leave this world, now be gone."
The woman vanished in a flurry of red sparkles, leaving the pendant to drop to the floor,
"I think I'll take this too," Phoebe said, grabbing the pendant and putting it in the pocket which also contained the glowing pills, then she strolled downstairs and left the house, before locked I with some keys she found on the table and posted them back through the letterbox after locking the door.
Phoebe got back to the penthouse half an hour before seven o'clock,
"we're not leaving Cassie there because I have proof Gabrielle's a loony," she told Cole, taking the pendant and tablets out of her pocket and putting it on the table in-front of him,
"you broke into her house?" he asked, she nodded,
"I played Sherlock," she replied,
"you played breaker and enterer," he corrected.
"Oh shut up Cole and look at what I've found," she told him,
"what are these?" Cole asked, holding up the bag of glowing tablets,
"I have no idea, but I'm gonna look in the book about them and this," Phoebe replied, picking up the pendant.
At the manor, Phoebe arrived in the familiar bright lights of a transportation spell and walked straight over to the book of shadows, flipping it open. Several minutes later, she had found a page about the amulet,
"a pendant known as the summoning Satan, used to summon Hecate, but only family members can have access to one, unless they lose it and it falls into the wrong hands," she summarised what she had just read,
"But nothing about these," she said, throwing the bag of glowing pills from hand to hand. As the angelic seer turned away from the book the pages began to flip by themselves until they stopped on one,
"the demonic market," she read, then she looked at her watch, "my deadline for finding out about Gabrielle is in twenty minutes, I might be able to make it," she said. Using the same spell she had used to bring her to the manor, Phoebe travelled to the demonic market.
When she got there she found herself in a forest, facing two demons,
"who are you?" one of them hissed,
"Phoebe," she replied, "and you're dead," she cockily continued, vanquishing the demons by empathically redirecting an energy ball one of them had thrown. As their ashes scattered across the floor, a large, blue, portal spread across the distance between two trees,
"I'm guessing that'll take me to market," Phoebe said, stepping through the portal and into an old fashioned market. Demons were everywhere, selling things like potions and weapons, even powers, but Phoebe spotted what she was looking for straight away as it was on the market stall right next to the entrance. She walked over and glanced across the glowing tablets, all different colours,
"do you by any chance have a customer named Gabrielle?" she asked, the owner snorted,
"she wanna my best," he replied,
"does she buy these?" Phoebe asked him, holding up the bag of blue tablets.
"Yeah, they're to cloak ya-self in white magic," he explained,
"now I know why she had the summoning Satan, she must be Hecate's daughter and is using these to hide that," Phoebe whispered to herself, before reversing her spell and going back to the penthouse.
Later that night, Phoebe and Cole had decided not to go out, after discovering her stepmother was actually the daughter of some kind of demonic goddess, the angelic seer was even more determined to keep Gabrielle away from her husband and daughter.
