Sorry if I made anyone mad by not updating but I have been very busy. So, here is the next chapter and I hope everyone likes it:)
Thank you to The-Cheese-Fairy for reviewing! You'll find out who both the people in the premonition were in later chapters and also, I like watching road rage scenes, they crack me up sometimes.
Disclaimer- I do not own Charmed or any of its characters. They are all owned by Aaron Spelling but I do own those characters which you don't recognize.
Paige was a bit angry now. Why is it that her sisters couldn't tell her anything these days? Kyle wasn't going to do anything bad. He just wanted to help them kill the avatars. The avatars killed his parents! He had a right to know what they were up to. Paige stormed into the restaurant where she was supposed to meet Kyle and saw him at a table waiting for her. When he flashed her a smile, she felt all of her anger go away. He made her want to melt.
"Hello, there," Paige said, giving him a small kiss before sitting down across from him.
"Find out anything?"
Paige smiled at her boyfriend and said, "One thing. That's why I love Phoebe."
Kyle smiled and said, "She can't keep secrets?"
Paige rolled her eyes and said, "Nope, but unfortunately, she wouldn't tell me everything."
Taking her hand in his, Kyle said, "That's ok. So what did you find out?"
"There's a new Source in the Underworld."
Kyle frowned and said, "New source?"
"The Source of all Evil."
"Oh, is that a problem?"
Paige raised an eyebrow and said, "Hello, the Source of all Evil. He is where most of the evil in the Underworld comes from." Paige leaned back and said, "There hasn't been a source around for quite a while. We killed the last one," she replied remembering how she went to an alternate universe and killed Cole.
Kyle rubbed his forehead and said, "Well can't you just kill this one too?"
"Well, no. Cole was the last Source. We had part of his flesh and—"
"Wait, you were on a first name basis with the Source?"
Paige frowned at Kyle and said, "He was Phoebe's husband...ex-husband after a little while…but that's not the point."
"Phoebe had a husband? I don't see her as someone who would want to be tied down by a man."
Paige sighed and said, "They were right for each other I guess but he was the Source, she is a good witch; they don't exactly mix too well."
Kyle rubbed his chin and said, "I see. So tell me again what the problem is?"
"Firstly, we don't have his flesh to make a vanquishing potion. Secondly, the Phoebe told me that the Elders think that this Source might be more powerful than Cole, which says a lot considering that we couldn't vanquish him with a super powerful potion."
Kyle looked at her and said, "Why not?"
Paige shook her head and said, "Long story. How about we order our food now and then I'll tell you the story another time?"
Kyle kissed her hand and said, "Sounds good to me."
About an hour later, Paige and Kyle had finished eating and Kyle was waiting for the waitress to bring his credit card back.
"You want me to drop you back home?"
Paige shook her head and smiled. "No, it's ok. If Phoebe sees you one more time, she's probably going to scream."
"Hmm…I think I'll pass then." The waitress promptly brought his credit card back.
Kyle got up and helped Paige to get up from her seat. As they walked out of the restaurant, Paige asked, "You are just the perfect gentleman, aren't you?"
"Hey, I try." Kyle bent down to kiss her forehead when Paige suddenly put a hand to her head. "Are you ok, Paige?"
Paige shook her head and said, "Piper's missing."
"What do you mean missing?"
"I mean, I can't sense her. That usually means that she's hurt or something like that." She turned to Kyle and said, "Will you come with me to p3?"
"Of course."
Paige quickly looked around to see if anyone was watching them and orbed to p3. When she and Kyle got there, she noticed that Piper's purse was on the counter. "Well, now we know that Piper did come to work," said Paige worriedly.
"I'll go check the storerooms."
"Ok, but be careful."
Kyle nodded and walked towards the back of the club. A few minutes later, he came back and said, "She's not there."
Paige decided that there was only one thing left to do. If Piper was gone then there would be no more Charmed Ones until they found her. The only safe place to go would be Magic School. "Hey, Kyle, I know that the teachers would probably get mad but would you mind coming to Magic School with me?" Paige looked around and saw that Kyle wasn't even in the club. "Kyle?"
"Paige!" said a distant voice that sounded like Kyle. "Come outside for a second!"
Paige slowly went outside and released a sigh when she saw that Kyle was outside. Then she gasped as she saw what Kyle wanted her to see. "They're all…frozen." Every single person and car on the street was frozen in their tracks. Thick blocks of ice were growing on them. Nothing was moving. She turned back to Kyle and said, "What's going on?" Paige gasped as she saw that Kyle was slowly turning blue. "Oh my god! I'm taking you to Magic School! To anyone who says anything, they can go to hell."
A few seconds later, Paige was in Magic School and was slowly trying to get Kyle to sit down on a couch. "Blankets!" she called and bright yellow blankets appeared in her hands. She quickly wrapped Kyle in them and hoped that maybe he would unfreeze. Just then, she saw Phoebe at a table pouring over some maps. "Phoebe? What are you doing? I thought that you were supposed to be at home with your column?"
Phoebe looked up at Paige and said, "Well, no, I got a premonition and- what is that?" Phoebe pointed to Kyle who was wrapped in the bright yellow blankets. She slowly stood up and poked it.
Paige slapped Phoebe's hand away and said, "That would be Kyle."
"What! Why the hell would you bring him here? This is Magic School! For magic people. Notice the emphasis on magic?"
"I know Phoebe, but you have no idea what's going on out there."
"Try me…" replied Phoebe glaring at the bundle of yellow blankets.
"People are literally frozen out there! Even the cars! They have icicles growing all over them, Phoebe. Kyle was almost frozen but I got him here in time."
"And why exactly aren't you frozen?"
"It probably doesn't affect people like you," replied a muzzled voice. Phoebe and Paige turned to Kyle who was now unfrozen. "Would you mind getting me out of this?" Phoebe rolled her eyes while Paige carefully unwrapped the blankets. She gave him a quick hug and he said, "Thanks, Paige."
Phoebe glared at Kyle and said, "All the same, Paige, I don't see why you brought him here. You could have taken him to the manor."
"Phoebe, I was scared, I didn't know what to do!" shouted Paige. "What would you have done?"
Unknown to the two witches, Kyle had seen the library that was behind the table that Phoebe was sitting at and had started walking towards it. It was a library at a magic school so there was a good chance that there would be books on magical beings such as…avatars. Kyle smirked at the two arguing witches as he quietly entered the library. He started looking up and down the aisles searching for anything that could help him with avatars.
While he was looking, an elf in a robe came up to him and said, "Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"
Kyle's eyes widened with amazement. He took a deep breath as he realized that there were probably many creatures like this one around the school. "Uh…yeah, I was wondering, do you have any books on powerful…magical beings such as…avatars?"
The elf frowned at him and said, "And why would you want to read about something like that?"
"Uh…I'm curious?"
The elf smiled at Kyle and motioned with his hand to follow him. He said, "Very good, sir. Being curious is sometimes always for the best especially with the new power on the rise."
Kyle's smile widened as he asked, "What do you know about this new power?"
"Nothing more than you do, nothing more than you do….ah, here's the book." The elf pulled out a gigantic book about the size of Kyle's head. "It should be in here. Just leave it on the table after you're done reading it."
Kyle thanked the elf and looked at the book. He slowly turned to the back of the book hoping that there was an index. Sure enough there was. Unfortunately, there was only one page on the avatars. At least one was better than nothing. Kyle turned the book to page 2,789 and began reading:
Not much is known about the avatars apart from the fact that they were once in power a very long time ago. Contrary to popular belief that they are evil being, the avatars are magical creatures, who are not good or evil.
That was all that was in the book. Kyle frowned as he closed the book. Not good or evil? That's not possible. They killed his parents. How is that not evil? Kyle sighed and began walking back towards Phoebe and Paige.
Meanwhile, the two witches had finished arguing and were now talking about Phoebe's premonition.
"Oh, Paige, did I tell you that I had a premonition this morning?"
"No, you didn't. What happened?"
Phoebe looked up for a second and said, "There was this girl with really dark brown hair and she was getting tortured by a demon that had electricity coming out of his hands. Then this hooded figure walked in and my premonition ended right before he took off his hood."
Paige frowned and said, "Dark brown hair…possibly someone we know?"
"No, she was a young girl. I could tell. Around fifteen or sixteen," said Phoebe with pain in her eyes.
Paige looked thought fully at Phoebe and said, "Well, we can assume that the hooded person could possibly be the Source, right?"
"Yeah, I guess so…he's the only person I can think of who wears a hood in the Underworld." Phoebe looked at Paige who was deep in thought. "Paige?"
Paige looked up and said, "Sorry, I have a question though. How did you get the premonition?"
"What?"
"What were you touching?"
Phoebe blushed for a second and said, "My stomach."
Paige burst out laughing and said, "Your stomach? Why?"
"Well, I was looking at a picture of me and Cole when I was…pregnant."
Paige immediately stopped laughing and gave her big sister a hug. "I'm sorry about that."
"It's ok…I just don't get why I got a premonition of then when I touched my stomach."
"You're not pregnant, are you?"
"No, no, I haven't slept with anyone recently."
"Ok, anyways…so what do you think is the deal with this Source?" asked Paige.
"Do you think that it's possible that he's working with the avatars?" asked Kyle walking towards them.
Phoebe rolled her eyes and said, "Paige…"
"Phoebe, what is your problem? He's trying to help us here!"
"Paige, is it my fault that I'm not comfortable being around him?"
"Yes, it is!" yelled Paige. She glared at her sister and grabbed Kyle. "You know what? Kyle and I will go and search for that girl. And you know what? When we find her, we'll call you!"
"Paige, you don't even-"
"I don't care!" hissed Paige. "I will find her without your help!"
Phoebe glared at Paige and said, "You know what? I'll find her myself…me and Leo. At least I know what she looks like."
Paige rolled her eyes and said, "The back of a head, how helpful. Come on Kyle, let's go."
"Paige, I think you should think this over; Phoebe's right. You don't know what she looks like."
"Whose side are you on?" asked Paige. Kyle put up his hands in defeat and held onto Paige. Paige looked at Phoebe and said, "By the way, Piper's missing, just thought you'd like to know." With that, Paige orbed away.
Please read and reivew!
