Eternity

Chapter 4

Making New Friends

Cordy walked around the Halliwell house she felt lost and this place did not feel like home but it was better than with the elders. She knew that the sisters and Leo wanted to talk privately about her and since she was a guest and she could understand why the wanted to she left to explore. Cordy had never felt so alone, well at least she wasn't dead and gone maybe she could go and visit her friends.

"Cordy" Leo's voice echoed.

Coming down stairs she joined them in the living room.

"So?" she asked shrugging her shoulders not really knowing what was going to happen.

"Well can we ask you a few questions about why the elders are finding things hard with you." Piper asked.

"Sure well when they gather those robes I mean come on no one looks good in them they make you look hippy." Cordy said with a smile patting her own thighs. Three sisters laughed, Leo's eyes feel to the other whitelighters hands until Piper elbowed him in the ribs. "Of course there is the not getting involved I mean how can you just stand by when someone needs your help, how can you not get involved in the fight I don't understand it and I couldn't, no, I wouldn't stand by and do nothing. And they won't let me see my friends." Cordy pouted ever so slightly she couldn't imagine what pain they were going through.

"But your friends would be a little bit shocked to find you, uhhh well kind of alive and a whitelighter." Phoebe asked.

Cordy smiled. "My friends are used to the unusual that was our lives."

The Charmed ones looked at each other than at Leo he shrugged his shoulders not knowing what was going on and was just as confused. Cordy watched them, she felt as if she could trust them and she was going to need help and have people to talk to and these seemed the only ones that could happen with.

"Ok you want to hear my life story, but this has to be kept a secret.' They all looked at each other and nodded. They all sat down as Cordelia began to tell her life story about Sunnydale and when Buffy arrived, her relationship with Xander, her parents running for not paying tax and then her life in LA with Angel. They heard about Doyle and all the others the good and the bad and they could see her face light up when she spoke about her family Angel Investigations and the love written all over her when she spoke about the vampire with a soul. The love of her life.

Leo sat he had heard of the PTB as Cordy called them but he had never spoken to anyone who dealt directly with them no wonder she had been given at lot of room and that the elders could not just get rid of her. Leo smiled he bet they hated not having total control.

Piper, Phoebe and Paige watched her, they thought there life had been difficult but she had a choice and she still got involved and tried to help people.

"Do you still get visions?" Paige asked.

"Haven't yet but I have no idea." Cordy replied.

Deep in another dimension the sky was black, the night never left, sun never reached the ground, never touched skin. The creatures of this world were never warmed; the coldest was in every pour of their beings, no happy laughter, no fun ever filled a child's life. Pain and torture was all they knew. The screams could be heard echoing, it was screams to say they were still alive but nothing knew how long each they would last, one minute at a time was all they could plan on for when he wanted them gone nothing could help them, he ruled this world with an iron fist. An evil laugh soon followed the screaming he loved to hear that sound but he recognized all the voices it was time for a change he needed a new home now, a claw hand reached out from the darkness and turned the page of a book. He stroked his claw down it. "Soon I will be free, I will be out of her and the next world will become mine."
