Keeping this short, here's chapter 21. Hope you enjoy it!
Flashback (Con't)
Penny sits on her bed, lost in thought. It is now 3 in the morning, but she could not go back to sleep. Everything that she had just discovered was racing through her mind, consuming her every thought. She cannot believe that so much would happen to her granddaughters, all 4 of them.
Paige. Her fourth granddaughter. The one who was given up at birth. Her parents weren't allowed to be together, let alone have a child together. Patty and Sam. They'd given her up right after she was born and since, Penny has kept an eye on Paige. Always checking on her. To make sure she was safe. To make sure she had a good home. And more importantly, to make sure she was happy.
It pains Penny to think about Paige. Even though it was her idea to give her up, Penny misses her. It hurts that she'll never get to know one of her granddaughters. But, she was given up for protection. Protection of herself. Protection of her sisters. And protection of her parents.
What's Penny going to do now?
Halliwell Manor-Present
Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Leo, Ryan, and Kelly are seated in the living room. They've just finished watching the movie, "Casablanca."
"Wow, that was a great movie!" says Kelly.
"It was," says Piper.
"Humphrey Bogart's a great actor," says Ryan.
"And Ingrid Bergman is a great actress," says Prue.
The doorbell rings.
"I'll get it," says Phoebe, as she heads into the foyer.
She opens the front door and sees someone she thought she left behind in New York. "Clay!"
"Surprised?" asks Clay, smiling.
"Very," says Phoebe, as she feels all of her feelings for him come rushing to the surface.
"Can I come in?" asks Clay, looking into the Manor.
"Of, yes, of course, please come in," says Phoebe, as she gestures him into the Manor.
"It's so good to see you," says Clay.
"It's good to see you, too," says Phoebe.
"How are things?" asks Clay.
"Fine, just fine," says Phoebe, smiling.
"Phoebe, who's at the door?" asks Prue, as she and Piper come from the living room.
"Who are you?" asks Prue, when she sees Clay.
"I'm Clay, pleased to meet you," says Clay, as he shakes Prue's hand. "You must Prue, I've heard a lot about you."
"Funny, I've never heard anything about you," says Prue, looking at Phoebe.
"And you must be Piper," says Clay, as he shakes her hand. "Nice to meet you."
"You too," says Piper. "Phoebe, can I talk to you in the kitchen for a second?"
"Ok, um, I'll be right back, Clay," says Phoebe, as she and Piper head into the kitchen.
"Ok," says Clay, looking at Prue.
"I'm coming," says Prue, as she follows them.
When they get into the kitchen, Phoebe sits down at the counter, nervously tapping her foot.
"Phoebe, isn't that Clay, the one I've heard all the stories about?" asks Piper, pacing.
"Yes, it is," says Phoebe.
"What stories? I've never heard anything about him," says Prue, sounding upset.
All of a sudden, the sisters hear a bang come from the living room and they run out of the kitchen.
When they enter the living room, they see Leo, Ryan, and Kelly tied up and Clay battling a demon.
"Clay!" calls Phoebe, approaching him.
"Phoebe, stay back, I'll take care of it," says Clay, his voice demanding.
Phoebe is taken aback by the force in his voice.
Clay releases an energy ball at the demon, vanquishing it.
"What the hell was that!" asks Phoebe, dumbstruck.
"I know what you just saw must be amazing to but I am a witch, with magical powers," explains Clay, as he raises his hand and unties Ryan, Kelly, and Leo.
Prue, Piper, and Phoebe stare at him, in awe.
Piper and Phoebe look at Phoebe.
"Pheebs, I think you should tell him," says Piper.
"Tell me what?" asks Clay, looking around at everyone.
"Clay," says Phoebe, walking over to him. "My sisters and I are also witches. In fact, we're the Charmed Ones, the greatest good witches of all time."
"Oh My God! Are you serious? You guys are the Charmed Ones?" asks Clay, disbelief evident in his voice.
"Yes, we are," says Piper, as they all join hands.
"How long have you been a witch?" asks Ryan.
"5 years," says Clay. "Oh, Leo, I didn't see you there."
"You know Leo?" asks Kelly.
"Yes, he's my whitelighter," says Clay.
"He's your charge too?" asks Prue.
"Yes, he is. I wanted to tell you but it was against the rules," says Leo.
"So, you were a witch when we were together?" asks Phoebe, solemnly.
"Yes, I was," says Clay.
Phoebe runs upstairs, tears in her eyes.
Clay begins to walk upstairs, but Piper stops him.
"Leave her be," says Piper.
"But, she's hurting and I need to talk to her," says Clay, stubbornly.
"She needs time to swallow all of this," says Prue. She didn't know the whole story with Clay, but she could that he had hurt Phoebe real badly.
Clay looks down, dejectedly.
