Author's Note: I hope you are all enjoying this story. I have the basic outlines for all chapters up until chapter 30. Chapter 30 will have major drama, probably the most seen so far in this story! As I told someone the other day, I see a good 40-50 chapters. That is only my approximation; I'm not sure exactly how it'll work. Also, as I'm sure you've noticed, I haven't been including flashbacks in the last couple of chapters. That is because chapter 28 will be known as a Flashback Chapter; it'll only include flashbacks.
On with chapter 24, hope you enjoy it!
Halliwell Manor
Prue storms into the living room, and raises her hand, throwing Ryan into the wall.
"Prue, what the hell was that for?" asks Ryan, getting up.
"You evil son of a bitch, how dare you cast a spell on me!" screams Prue, throwing him into the wall again.
Kelly walks into the room, and when she sees the scene, sits quietly on the couch.
"Prue, you have to understand, I only did it because I love you," pleads Ryan, getting up.
"Oh, I see," says Prue, her rage boiling. "You love me so much that you had to cast a spell to erase my memory of what happened, so we could move on. You didn't trust me enough to get past this myself!"
"How many fuckin times did I try to talk to you?" asks Ryan, equally as angry. "About a million, and you blew me off each time. What else was I supposed to do?"
Piper and Leo orb in, with Phoebe and they join Kelly on the couch.
"Well, um," stumbles Prue.
"Oh, look, the great all-knowing Prue without the answers. What's the matter, is your ego taking up too much room in here for you to form a complete thought?" asks Ryan, sarcastically.
"You know what Ryan, get out! Get out, GET OUT!" screams Prue, at the top of her lungs.
Ryan teleports out but not before saying, "You really are a bitch!"
"UTH!" screams Prue, as she storms up, angrily to her room.
"Apparently, Clay and I aren't the only one's having problems," says Phoebe.
"Speaking of, what are you gonna do about Clay?" asks Kelly.
"I honestly don't know," says Phoebe, solemnly.
The doorbell rings.
"I'll get it," says Piper, getting up.
She enters the foyer and when she opens the front door, she sees a man of about 45 years old and a woman of about 40 years old. The man is about 5'7" with brown eyes and black hair, and he is wearing a white shirt and jeans. The woman is about 5'3" with black hair and brown eyes, and she is wearing a pink blouse and jeans.
"Can I help you?" asks Piper.
"Yes, I'm Eric Jones and this is my wife, Barbara. We're looking for our son, Clay Jones," says Eric.
"I'm Piper Halliwell. Please come in," says Piper, as they enter the house.
They walk into the living room.
"Leo, my boy, how are you?" asks Eric.
"Fine, thank you," says Leo, smiling awkwardly.
"This is my sister, Phoebe, Leo's my boyfriend, and this is our friend, Kelly," introduces Piper. "Phoebe, these are Clay's parents, Eric and Barbara."
"Oh my, hello, nice to meet you," says Phoebe, as she gets up and shakes their hands.
"You must the Phoebe that Clay is living with," says Barbara.
"Yes, I am," says Phoebe, smiling.
"Where's Clay?" asks Eric.
"Oh, um, he went out. He'll be back soon," lies Phoebe.
"Phoebe, I am a telepath, and I can tell you're lying," says Eric.
"And I'm an empath, and I sense anger towards Clay," says Barbara.
"What happened, dear?" asks Barbara, as she and her husband sit.
"Clay and I had a fight and he teleported out," says Phoebe.
"I'll get him here," says Eric, as he concentrates and uses his telepathy to tap into Clay's mind.
Suddenly, Clay teleports in.
"Son!" cries Barbara, as she and her husband pull him into a hug.
"Mom, dad, what are you doing here?" asks Clay, as they break the hug.
"We came to see you. We wanted to see what you new life with Phoebe was like," says Eric.
"But, Phoebe says that you two have been fighting," says Barbara.
Clay glares at Phoebe, angrily.
"What?" asks Phoebe. "Your mother's an empath, she felt my anger towards you."
"Clay, darling, what happened?" asks Barbara, as they all sit down.
"We'll just go into the other room," says Leo, as he, Piper, and Kelly walk into the living room.
"Mom, dad, it's nothing, really. Phoebe and I can handle it," says Clay.
"I can sense resentment from both of you," says Barbara.
"And Clay when I tapped into your mind before to get you here, you were thinking about leaving Phoebe," says Eric.
"You were thinking of leaving me?" cries Phoebe, as she gets up.
Clay looks away.
"Oh, no, you don't. Clay Jones, you look at me this instant!" screams Phoebe.
"Ok, fine, yes, I was thinking of leaving you," says Clay.
Phoebe slaps him.
"Maybe we just weren't meant to be," says Clay, as he teleports out.
"We're gonna follow him. Nice to meet you, Phoebe," says Eric, as he and Barbara teleport out.
Phoebe collapses on the couch, her emotions overtaking her. This was too much for her!
Andy's Apartment
Amanda Williams walks through the apartment, unbeknownst to Andy. He was out cold on his bed. She knew the whole thing that had happened with Prue and how he tried to expose their secret. Amanda also knew how Zola had cast the spell to erase his memory.
She could use all of this to her advantage. This was the perfect way to get revenge on the Charmed Ones! Amanda had written a spell to restore Andy's memory. Once she cast it, she would speak with him and she would use him as a pawn in her plan.
Amanda enters Andy's bedroom, to find him fast asleep.
She recites the following spell:
"Troubled thoughts that plagued your mind,
Memories they wished you to forget,
Let them no longer be erased from time,
Now you will remember with this rhyme."
Andy awakes with a startle, everything coming rushing back to him.
He sees Amanda. "Who are you?"
Amanda smiles.
