A/NWOW ALRIGHT I'M FINALLY BACK TO WRITING! SCHOOL TAKES UP SO MUCH TIME! ANYWAY I HOPE I DIDN'T LOSE ANY OF MY READERS BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEEN UPDATING. OH BY THE WAY, THANKS TO PHOEBE TURNER HALLIWELL THAT IS A GOOD IDEA. I MIGHT USE IT.

The bus came to a stop. Amber Halliwell got off. It was only five o'clock, no bad characters would be out at this time. She would have to make her visit to this guy short. She didn't want to be in this part of the city when the druggies came out.

Amber walked along. The buildings were old and run down. She looked at the address. She had to turn down an alley just up here. Amber froze. The alley there didn't look very welcoming.

She soon got over her fear. She had made a decision and now she had to stick to it. Amber slowly walked down the alley. A dog jumped out at her. It made a growl. Amber quickly backed up in fright. The dog inched up to her. Amber froze! She couldn't think. GRRRR! Amber did the only thing she could think of. She quickly bent down and grabbed a rock. The dog backed up this time. She chucked the rock at the dog.

The dog ran off with a snarl. She let out a sigh of relief and proceeded. After about five more minutes of walking she came to the address. The building was an old brick apartment. It didn't really look like to many people lived in it. No probably did except some druggies and bikers.

It was now that Amber craved for her powers. She wished her mother had never bound them. Any other time though Amber would have turned her powers away though. She didn't want them now. She wanted to be a kid, just a normal kid. Unfortunately she still wasn't normal. Cole had no clue about their powers. But he did know about mom's and aunt piper and Paige's.

Amber opened the door and stepped into the building. She entered into a smoke filled bar. Quickly before anyone spotted her she ran to the elevators. She got into an empty one 'thank god!' she went up to the fourth floor and got off. His apartment was number 413.

She found the room with no problem. She stood outside it for a long while. Her mind was so jumbled. 'was it a mistake?' 'I have to do this.' everything just hit her at once. She knew she had to go in now that she was here. She decided she wouldn't knock. She tried the door and it was open. That probably meant he was home then.

She entered the apartment quietly. No one was in the living room but a chest was open in it. There was a whole bunch of athemas in there. Also some little vials of liquids and powders. Wow it looked like her Aunts kitchen except for the athemas(they were in the attic.)

Was this guy a witch? Was this guy after her mother? Anger boiled inside Amber. She as angry at her mom for not telling her about this and she was Angry at this guy for coming after her mom. Could the lawyer possibly be dangerous to the charmed ones? Amber now knew she had to get out of here. She turned to leave but came face to face with Mr. Turner.

Cole just stared at Amber. He of course knew who she was but he wouldn't let her know that. Instead he said: "you know trespassing is against the law?"

Amber just stared. Her mind was blank. He didn't know who she was did he? He sure wasn't acting like it. Should she run? No. Instead Amber replied: "yeah sorry I knocked but no one answered."

"Really?" asked Cole.

"Um...yeah." "What don't ya believe me?" asked Amber acting offended.

"No"replied Cole matter of factly. "What do u want?" he suddenly asked.

Amber was totally convinced he didn't know who she was. "You talked at my school." she said. "I just wanted to ask some questions for a report I'm doing." she lied not very convincingly.

"I'm busy right now."replied Cole walking across to shut the chest with the athemas in them.

"What do you need all them for anyway?" asked Amber.

"You know the term wiccan?" asked Cole. Amber just nodded. Of course she knew.

"Well then that is why." he said. I think you should go. This isn't the right part of town for a kid your age.

"Right."said Amber.

"Maybe I'll answer your questions some other time." called Mr. Turner after her.

Amber got home just at six. Her dad's car was driving up to the house. Amber quickly ran through the back door and up stairs just as her father opened the door.

Amber stayed in her room. She didn't' eat any dinner either. She was to shaken up. She couldn't believe he didn't know who she was! Or maybe he did! Amber couldn't help but think she had made the wrong decision.
