I'm pretty sure that I know what I want to do with that, but I'm not positive yet…and even if I did know for sure, it would be too early to reveal that detail. Anyways, thanks again!

Chapter 8

Johnny hurriedly explained his vision to his friends as they swiftly made their way towards the Halliwells' room, which they found via the room key they found in Paige's purse.

Just as he had finished explaining what he saw, they had arrived at the door and knocked.

"Hello," Doggett said as he opened the door. He was baffled when he saw them. It wasn't so much who it was, but more so that it seemed they were here on urgent business. I mean, yeah, they had seemed to really want Phoebe to admit to having visions – which was weird enough as it was – but that couldn't be it. "Come in." He stepped aside to let Johnny and his friends enter.

Johnny started walking over to Paige, handing the purse back to her. "You left this at the table."

"Thanks," she said, not liking the bad feeling she was now getting.

"This isn't exactly an easy thing to say," Johnny began, "so I'll just get it over with. When I picked up your purse to give it back to you, I had a vision… of you, Leo, and Chris. There was this strange man that was wearing all black. He was holding a crossbow and shot the three of you with an arrow."

The Halliwells had to use all of their strength and will power to keep from looking at each other. This strange man in Johnny's vision had to be a darklighter…the black clothes…the crossbow…the select three people shot…

"Thanks for the concern," Paige said, "but are you sure you haven't just seen too many horror movies. I mean…maybe you are just remembering something from a horror movie you saw."

"No," Johnny said, growing increasingly frustrated. "I know you believe me." When he only received you're-crazy looks from everyone, he continued. "Even if no one else does, I know that Phoebe does… My visions have never been wrong. Be careful." With that, Johnny and his friends left the room reluctantly, knowing there was nothing more they could do.

"Okay, so how does a darklighter fit in to all of this?" Phoebe thought aloud as soon as Johnny and his friends were out of hearing range.

"Maybe it doesn't," Piper said.

"What's a darklighter?" Mulder inquired.

"It's an evil being that hunts and kills whitelighters using a poison arrow," Leo explained. "There is a cure, but if all three of us are shot…"

"The only person that can heal them would be Wyatt," Piper finished. "If it would come down to that, then so be it, but he is too young to have deal with all of this."

"If whitelighters are already dead, how can they be killed?" Doggett asked the question that was on his colleagues' minds as well.

All of the Halliwells turned to Leo, who just shrugged.

"So what are we going to do?" Paige asked, getting things back on track.

"You, as well as Chris and Leo, are going to be careful," Phoebe said.

"That's not really what I was referring to."

"Well, then what were you talking about?"

Just then a darklighter appeared. He readied the crossbow and fired at the three targets.

Paige, Chris, and Leo all orbed out of the way, while Piper stuck up her hands to vanquish the darklighter.

"Well that was easy enough," Piper said as the darklighter exploded.

"What I was talking about was the whole thing with that Johnny guy," Paige answered Phoebe calmly, as if nothing had even happened. "I mean, he already knows that you get visions, and it seems he wants you to admit it. If he starts investigating, he might find more than he bargained for."

"So, what you're saying is that I should just come right out and tell him that I do have visions," Phoebe said incredulously.

"Paige has a point," Chris chimed in. "If you admit that he's right about this, it might keep him and his friends from finding the full truth."

"I guess it's worth a shot." With that, she went out of the room to go and find Johnny and his friends.

"How can you guys do that?" Reyes asked.

"Do what?" Piper questioned.

"Go back to normal so quick after an attack?"

"If we dwelled on every attack, we wouldn't have lives," Paige replied.

'Here goes nothing,' Phoebe thought right before she confessed to Johnny and his friend that she did get visions. She had already been talking to them for a little while, first about how Chris, Leo, and Paige were fine, and then the subject eventually came back to Johnny's suspicion of Phoebe being psychic. "Yes, I admit it, I do get visions."

'I knew it,' Johnny thought. "Why were you so difficult about it before?"

Phoebe searched for an answer that wouldn't raise more questions about her. "I guess I just never really wanted anyone to know. Very few people know, and those that do know only because I didn't have much choice in the matter."

"If you don't mind my asking," Sarah began, "what happened? I mean, what caused your dead zone to be activated?"

At this Phoebe was thoroughly confused. "Dead zone?"

"It's a part of the brain that people don't generally use. After severe head trauma, however, some people start using that part and have visions because of it," Johnny answered.

"Uh," Phoebe stalled, at a loss for an answer. Deciding they would probably know if she lied, she chose to tell the truth, or, at least, a partial truth. "I've hit my head many times, but most of that was after I started having visions."

"So your visions aren't caused by the dead zone?"

"No. To be honest, I was just riding my bike one day and the next thing I knew, I had a vision of two kids on skateboards getting hit by a car. I've had visions ever since then." 'It is the truth,' she thought, 'I just left out the part about finding the Book of Shadows… and reading that incantation… and being a Charmed One…'

"I think I'm going to call the Lone Gunmen," Mulder said to no one in particular. "Maybe they can find something that could help us." He picked up his cell phone and began to dial the number, but he couldn't get through. All he got was: "I'm sorry, but the number you have just called has been disconnected." He hung up. "So much for that idea."

Frohike clicked on the thousandth link, almost ready to give up. The Internet search engines were a pain. He found so many links that had nothing to do with what he was searching for. If a web site mentioned the word Aurora even just once, it came up on the search engine.

As soon as the site was loaded, Frohike knew that he had finally found what he had been looking for. The article read as follows:

The majestic ship known as Aurora set sail on that fateful trip twenty years ago, that is now shrouded in mystery. The last timethisship and its passengers were seen was the day it set sail. The seas were calm throughout the whole voyage. There were no distress signals. The remains of the ship were never found. Aurora just disappeared.

There have been many theories on the disappearance of Aurora, the most popular of which dealt with the Bermuda Triangle. Aurora's course led straight through the heart of the Triangle. Many say that Aurora is just one of the many victims to this mythical nexus (It is said that the Triangle is a link between the land of the living and the realm of lost souls that have not yet found peace).

Frohike didn't even finish reading the rest. He had to warn his friends. He picked up his phone and dialed Mulder's number. "I'm sorry, but the number you have just called has been disconnected" was all Frohike got.

He hung up and attempted to call Scully, Reyes, and Doggett, but he only got the same results.

With that, he resolved to find them. He had to warn them before it was too late. According to the article, the anniversary of the disappearance was coming up soon… in three days…

A/N: Well, that's the end of chapter 8. Hope you liked it. Once again, I am sorry for the long wait.
