Hi, so I've gotta admit this chapter isn't as good as I hoped it was gonna be, but it pretty much explains why Karis is the way she is!
Replies-
Princess Pinky: Glad you liked it! Gabrielle explode? Well not quite lol! You're always right lol (that was sincere just so y'know)! I always saw Prue as the selfless sister, I mean that's how she died in the show, protecting an innocent, even though that innocent ended up dying too! Peanut has gotten me into Prue/Andy more so now I love it too! There's another thing you're right about, I'm actually having second thoughts about the father I've chosen!
Fanmania: Glad you liked it! I'm not telling you in this chapter lol!
Money makes me smile: Glad you liked it! I don't really like Amber, even though she's only appeared in a small part of a chapter lol! I might keep you waiting until a later chapter!
Charmed Dawn: Glad you liked it! You are my 100th reviewer, congratulations! She wouldn't necessarily say that!
At last but not least, The-Cheese-Fairy: Glad you liked it! Were you annoyed when you had to stop at that part lol! I like writing some Prue/Andy fluff now and again, it shows a different side to my Prue considering half the time the evil powers which she inherited when an evil cloud of smoke possessed her father on the night of her conception make her go all demonic lol! You will be seeing Grandma Purple, and another grandma too!
Special K:
Karis awoke under the pink covers of the bed, she looked around and remembered she was at her grandparents' house. She jumped out of bed, ran into Amber's room and found she was already awake, then she orbed downstairs and found Violet making cakes while Amber played with her dolls.
"I wanna make cakes!" Karis exclaimed,
"oh my sweet you can, but first go and get dressed," Violet told her, Karis looked down at her purple 'Snoopy' pyjamas, which her dad had bought her, and then orbed upstairs.
Minutes later she orbed back down having changed into some denim dungarees and a yellow t-shirt,
"now my sugar pumpkin, wash your hands and then you can start helping," Violet instructed, Karis nodded and climbed onto the stool so she could reach the taps. Amber didn't care much for baking cakes as she was too young, instead she'd rather play with her toys or chase Molly, the dog, around the house.
"Grandma Purple, do you wish you was magic?" Karis asked,
"sometimes, so I could wave my hands and make you disappear," Violet joked, Karis glared at her grandmother,
"I mean it!" she said in a raised tone,
"don't take that tone with me missy, otherwise no cakes for you," Violet warned,
"stupid cakes," Karis growled, destroying the bowl, containing the cake mixture, with an electro-pyrokinetic bolt, before orbing off the stool and storming upstairs.
"At least one of my granddaughters is content with anything," Violet said, looking over at Amber,
"Amber, you wanna play with Molly in the garden?" Neil asked, walking in from outside, Amber just looked at her grandfather before teleporting over to him and running outside, stopping to telekinetically throw a ball towards Molly.
At the manor, the Halliwell-Wyatt family were having breakfast when Charlotte, who was going to be three in just over a month, began levi-orbing,
"Charley sit down," Piper ordered,
"bweakfast up here?" the telepathic half Elder asked,
"no, now sit down," Piper replied. Charlotte obeyed and returned to her chair, only to have Patrice turn her sister's sausage to ice,
"Patrice Phoebe Halliwell-Wyatt apologise to your sister immediately," Piper commanded, glancing at Leo to see he found the situation quite amusing,
"I'm glad somebody finds it funny," she said,
"look Piper, Charley isn't upset, so no need to get all angry," he told her, "maybe all the work is stressing you out, how bout I help, take, or share, some responsibilities of the club?" the Elder suggested.
"You mean so I can stay at home and become a housewife?" Piper exclaimed,
"no, well not forever, just take a week off, I can handle it," he told her, before kissing her on the cheek and orbing out,
"I suppose I could do with a bit of time off," Piper realised, beginning to clean up the breakfast plates.
In New York, Gabrielle got out of her car and walked up to the apartment block she had stopped at, Megra balanced on her hip. On the way up to the apartment where she was going, a dog began barking at them so Megra glared at it with black eyes and morphed into her devil form and back again within a few seconds, scaring the dog and making it back away. When they got to the right apartment she knocked on the door and a man answered it,
"where's Katrina?" was the first thing she asked,
"who are you?" the man questioned,
"it's okay Ray, she's my sister," a voice said behind the man, then he stepped back so Gabrielle could clearly see the eighteen year old brunette standing there.
Not much later, Katrina and Gabrielle were in a café, Megra sitting in her stroller, happily scaring the kids and animals there without any adults noticing.
"Couldn't you of thought of something more original than sister?" Gabrielle asked, taking a sip of her coffee,
"well I wasn't really gonna tell him you're my mom," Katrina spat, though her tone was quite quiet so nobody could here,
"no need to remind me," Gabrielle muttered, before getting Megra out from her stroller and setting her on the lap.
"So who's that?" Katrina asked,
"your sister," Gabrielle replied,
"so you've had another, is she the precious little devil child you wanted?" Katrina said,
"yes," Gabrielle quietly replied, as if ashamed of something.
"You really don't like being reminded of when you abandoned me seventeen years ago, and then eight years ago, and then four years ago," the young adult said,
"I had no choice to abondon you as a baby, Hecate would have killed you if I hadn't, it was her that wanted a precious little devil child, all I wanted was a daughter for who she was," Gabrielle told her.
"What are you doing here mom?" Katrina questioned,
"I came to get you, I want you to come back to San Francisco with me," Gabrielle replied,
"how do I know you won't just leave once I'm there?" Katrina said,
"because there's a lot of things I need to take care of there myself," the redhead said, finishing off her coffee.
Back at the Bellands' house,
"grandma Patty lets me use magic when she comes to visit from Heaven," Karis argued, this gave Violet, who had just told Karis she didn't want her using magic for the rest of the weekend, an idea.
"Do you know how to get your grandma Patty here?" the woman asked,
"there's a spell but I don't know it, but I can make one up," Karis replied, before chanting:
"grandma Patty come now,
with a flying moo-moo cow."
Out of white lights the corporeal figure of Patty Halliwell appeared, and in her hand was a strange toy which looked like a cow with wings,
"it worked!" Karis beamed, hugging her Halliwell grandmother's leg before taking the toy cow and running off to play with it with Amber.
"Urm, you're Violet Belland if I'm not mistaken?" Patty said,
"yes, I am, we met at Glenn's and Paige's wedding," Violet nodded,
"okay, well how can I be of help?" Patty asked,
"I was wondering if you could cast a spell, so we could understand exactly why Karis is so strong minded, short fused and extremely stubborn," Violet said,
"well the stubbornness is a Halliwell trait, so no need to worry about that, but I too wonder about the other things, I think I have a spell in mind," Patty replied, before saying a spell:
"no longer can we wait,
so let our granddaughter truly communicate."
A mixture of golden and white lights swirled together to form a young woman,
"Karis?" Violet asked,
"whoa am I in the past?" the girl asked,
"I think my spell brought you here so you could tell us what we want to know," Patty replied,
"well in that case it's so good to see you both," Future Karis beamed, pulling them both into a hug.
Ten minutes later,
"so what exactly is it you need help with?" Future Karis asked,
"you," Patty replied, "well past you,"
"yes, it's hard to cope," Violet agreed, walking in and closing the door behind her, having just been to check on Karis and Amber.
"Yeah, I've been told a lot how much trouble I was when I was smaller," Karis said,
"well do you know why?" Violet asked,
"I think so," Karis replied.
"When I was two I just had my parents, a normal little life, then within a day I gained a whole big family and lost three of them almost instantly, demons attacking didn't really help, and, well, I went from getting all of my parents' attention to getting what was left after the demons and the rest of the family got it," she explained,
"but if we give you all this attention you want then there'll be less attention to demon attacks and everybody could get extremely hurt, some killed," Patty stated,
"exactly, that's why this all stays between us, you can't try and give me more attention or anything like that, it'll change who I've become, and, trying not to sound to vain, I like who I've become," the future girl told them.
"You really are a special girl," Violet said,
"I remember, I used to get called Special K, because both my sisters, even though they aren't related, have got 'A' names and I'm the only 'K', I still get called Special K sometimes now, mostly by Amber and Aurora," Karis smiled,
"I'm gonna look forward to visiting you in the future," Patty said,
"as will I," Violet agreed, before they shared a three-way hug and Future Karis departed in the same lights she had appeared in.
"I should be going too," Patty told Violet,
"well I'm so glad you came, she's a beautiful little granddaughter we've got there," Violet said,
"she certainly is," Patty said, as the two women hugged and Patty vanished,
"grandma purple, can we make chocolate brownies?" Karis asked, running in with excitement,
"of course my sweet," Violet replied, smiling at Karis and already seeing some of the aspects which were going to make her a beautiful young woman.
To be continued…
Next chapter- Gabrielle returns to San Francisco, bringing Katrina with her, and causes trouble.
'The Bitch Is Back' should be up soon.
