Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Charmed. But I do own Aurora, Haley, Charisma, and any other characters you don't recognize.
Aurora looked around her surroundings, it was the hotel room she had seen Haley, Charisma, and their father in. Stepping away from Reagan, and putting down her bag, she walked into the other room, "Haley." she whispered.
Haley's head shot up, from where she sat on the bed with Charisma curled up beside her. "Aurora?"
"Yea, it's me Haley." Aurora replied.
Haley got up from the bed and walked over to Aurora pulling her into a hug, "Are you ok?"
"I should be asking you that question." Aurora stated.
"What are you doing here Aurora?" Haley questioned.
"I can answer that one." Reagan replied as he walked into the room. "She traded herself for you guys."
"Reagan, just go away for a few minutes. Please. I want to talk to my sister." Aurora mumbled.
"I'll be back in three to let your family go back to their lives." Reagan stated before shimmering out.
"Why? Why the hell would you do something like that? Are you insane?"
"Haley stop yelling. You're gonna wake up Charisma. How's dad doing?"
"Don't, change the subject Aurora. Now tell me why you would do something like that."
"I didn't want to loose you guys." Aurora whispered. "Plus the Halliwells' and myself formed a well needed plan after I made my decision."
Haley was silent for a few seconds before asking, "What's the plan?"
"Reagan's going to be sending you back to where you were, Disney Land. I know he will. Wyatt's going to orb there and heal dad, and you. Then he's going to orb back to the Manor with you guys. All of you are going to work together to find a way of getting rid of Reagan, and the rest of the Inpental demons, while I gather information here."
Haley studied her younger sister. "If anything happens to you, because you were stupid enough to trade yourself for us, I'll kill you."
"There's the big sister I know." Aurora grinned. "I'll be fine Haley, just use the spell mom used to keep an eye on us. I talked to Chris already about it, that's how we're going to stay in touch."
Haley nodded, "Just stay out of trouble."
"Haley that'll be kinda hard considering I'm gonna be stuck somewhere here in the underworld." Aurora replied.
"Just don't get yourself killed." Haley rephrased.
"I won't, 'cause I know if I do you'll resurrect me so that you can kill me yourself as punishment for getting myself killed."
"Jeez your smart." Haley mused.
"I've learnt from the best." Aurora sighed. "So how's dad?"
"He's doing fine. Just sleeping it off." Haley replied.
"Aurora?" they heard Charisma question from the bed.
"Yea, I'm here Charisma." Aurora replied, walking over.
"Are you here to bring us all home?" Charisma asked as she got up and hugged Aurora.
"I'm here to get you guys home, but I'm not going to be going with you guys."
"What? Why not Aurora?"
"I have a few things to take care of first, but I promise I'll be home soon." Aurora replied.
"You promise?"
"Mm hm. You just have to help Haley and Halliwells get rid of a few demons while I'm gone." Aurora paused, and let out a small laugh. "Haley and the Halliwells, that kinda sounds like a rock band."
"I'm glad you can make a joke out of a situation like this." Haley muttered.
"Sorry." Aurora whispered, as Reagan shimmered in front of her. "You got horrible timing you know that Reagan?" she mused.
"So I've been told." Reagan replied. "Now say goodbye Aurora."
"Goodbye Aurora." Aurora smirked, before turning so that she could see both her sisters. "I love you guys and I'll see ya around. And tell dad I love him when he conscious again."
Haley nodded, "I will. And I love you too."
"See you later Aurora." Charisma said, still unsure of what was really going on.
Aurora gave Charisma a hug, "Stay out of trouble."
"I'll try." Charisma whispered.
Aurora then walked up to Haley and gave her hug, whispering in her ear, "Keep an eye on Chris for me. OK?"
Haley nodded, "I'll do my best."
When Aurora took a step back Reagan said, "Now that you said your goodbyes, it's time for them to go back to Disney Land." Reagan then waved his arm and everything disappeared. Aurora was no longer standing in the hotel room with her siblings and father. She was now definitely in the underworld.
"How do I know you sent them back and their alright?" Aurora questioned.
"Aurora would I lie to you?" Regan asked in response.
"Well ya never did tell me you were a demon." Aurora stated.
"You never told me you were a witch." Reagan counteracted.
Aurora glared at Reagan and asked, "Am I gonna be sleeping on the hard ground during my stay with you? Or do you have a place down here hidden amongst the rocks?"
Reagan didn't say anything, just picked up Aurora's bag, and took her hand, shimmering away. Aurora looked around the place they had ended up, the room was beautiful to say the least. A canopy bed, and old dresser, a desk, and an en suite. "Where are we?"
"The underworld. Where else would we be?"
"And I'm guessing you used magic to conjure up a room as elegant as this."
"You could say that." Reagan grinned. "And make yourself at home, you'll be here for awhile. Oh, and if you need anything just call." Reagan then turned and left the room.
Aurora watched as the door closed behind him, and she frowned at the sound of the door being locked. "Yea, tell me to make myself at home, and then lock the door. That's always a bright idea."
Haley sat on one of the hotel room beds, staring at the wall in front of her. 'Why did I let Aurora go through with it?' she asked herself. 'Why didn't I stop her? I guess it wasn't like I had the chance. Her mind was set.'
"Haley."
Haley jumped at the sound of her name and turned, "Wyatt." Biting her lip she stood up and walked into Wyatt's open arms.
"Everything's going to be ok." Wyatt whispered.
"You promise?"
"I promise." Wyatt said taking a step back. "I gotta heal your dad, and then that cut on your cheek."
"Just heal my dad. I've gotten kinda fond of the cut." At Wyatt's raised eyebrow Haley grinned and said, "I think it's kind of sexy."
Wyatt shook his head as he walked over to where Donald was lying. "I'd have to agree with you there Haley, it kind of gives you the bad girl look." Wyatt said before raising his hands above Donald.
Haley watched as Wyatt's hands began to glow gold, and her father's injuries started to disappear. Within seconds her father was sitting up, and aware of what was going on around. "Dad." Haley smiled walking over and hugging him.
"What happened? Where's Charisma? What's Wyatt doing here?" Donald questioned his oldest daughter.
"Well you were knocked unconscious when you tried to help me and Charisma. We were taken hostage. Aurora traded herself for us. Charisma's in the bathroom. And Wyatt came here to heal you, and then he's bringing us back home to figure out how to get Aurora back."
Donald opened his mouth to say something but before he could Charisma came running out of the bathroom, and to him. "Daddy!" she exclaimed.
"Hey kiddo." Donald smiled hugging Charisma.
"I thought you'd never wake up." Charisma mused.
"I don't like sleep that much." Donald replied.
"We should get going." Wyatt stated. "You guys can leave your stuff here, I'll orb you back later, once we figure out everything, then you can go back to your holiday."
Donald nodded, and watched as his oldest daughter wrapped an arm around Wyatt and rested her head on his shoulder. A smile came to his lips as he saw Wyatt kiss the top of Haley's head and wrap an arm around her protectively. They reminded him of himself and Christine when they had been that age. "So we gonna go or not?" Donald questioned.
Only to be answered by the feeling of butterflies in his stomach and then new surroundings. "About time you guys got here." Paige's voice reached his ears. "And I found out some more information by the way."
"Really? What exactly would that be?" Wyatt questioned.
"Charisma. Patsy, Porter, and Drew are downstairs watching a movie. Why don't you go join them." Leo said before Paige could explain what she found out.
"Ok." Charisma smiled leaving the attic, and heading down the stairs.
"Anyway," Paige started. "There is only one known way of getting rid of a Levers demon and keep an Inpental demon from taking his place."
"How exactly would it be known if there still is a Levers demon?" Haley questioned.
"I knew you were gonna ask that." Paige replied. "Way back when, there use to be a few groups of Inpental demons, each with a Levers demon to kind of rule them, and keep them in order. That sort of thing. As time progressed witches tried to find anyway of getting rid of them, because they were slowly gaining more and more power or at least the Levers demons were.
"Almost everything was tried, and then someone found out that if you can get the Inpental demons to turn against and kill the Levers demon, the whole group is vanquished.
"So you're saying we have to get the Inpental demons to turn against their leader?" Donald questioned.
"Basically." Paige replied.
"Well does it have to be all of them?" Haley questioned. "Can't it be just one?"
"I'm guessing one would be enough." Paige replied. "The book I read it in didn't really say if it had to be more then one."
Haley nodded, "This could be harder then it sounds."
"No doubt about it." Wyatt replied.
Haley closed her eyes and took a calming breath. Her emotions were going crazy, as all the possibilities of what could happen played through her mind. She knew that if she wasn't calm nothing would get done. Opening her eyes she looked at Wyatt and said, "Wyatt can you quickly orb to my place and get the coil notebook off of my desk."
"Um...sure... But why exactly?" Wyatt replied.
"There's just something in it, I need to look at."
"Ok. I'll be back in a sec." Wyatt said before orbing out of the room. True to his word he was back only seconds later. "Hope this is it."
"It is." Haley smiled, taking the book, and sitting down on the couch.
"What is it?" Phoebe questioned looking over Haley's shoulder from behind the couch.
"It's basically a log of my dreams and premonitions." Haley replied flipping through the pages of the book. "My dreams have a tendency of ending up being basically premonitions. When I was younger my mom told me to write down every single dream I had, just in case, and I never stopped. Before I left, I had a dream, it was the same time Aurora found out about me reversing the spell... and well I don't exactly remember everything, which is the problem with dreams. So I'm trying to find it, 'cause I have a feeling it wasn't just a dream."
"Huh, writing down dreams. That's a good idea. I should get my kids to do that." Phoebe mused.
Kyle looked at Haley and asked, "So was this dream good or bad from what you remember?"
"Bad." Haley sighed. "It involved Aurora turning evil."
"But I thought we had till her twentieth birthday." Chris stated.
"I thought so to." Haley whispered, beginning to read over the page that held the contents of the dream. "And I really hope this dream wasn't a premonition. I think being in the underworld turns her."
"What?" Piper questioned.
"In my dream, I made a comment about getting an evil sister for Christmas, while I only got her a souvenir from Disney Land. So if it wasn't just a dream, we have to get her back and fast." Haley could feel her stress level rising. She didn't want to think of the possibility of her sister becoming evil, because she wanted to save them.
Phoebe sighed, "Haley you have to calm down. If you don't you won't be able to think straight. And stressing out isn't good for you."
"It's just if, I would of fought a little harder, Charisma, our dad, and myself wouldn't of gotten taken hostage. And Aurora wouldn't of had to come and save us, by trading her self in." Haley replied.
"Don't blame yourself." Donald said in a demanding voice, "The universe-"
"The universe is right on schedule. Everything happens when it's suppose to. You can't stop it no matter how hard you try. And it's no ones fault." Haley cut her father off. "I know dad, but sometimes the things mom use to say don't help."
"I know." Donald sighed. "But just try to keep that in mind."
Haley nodded and asked, "So how exactly are we going to turn the Inpental demons against Reagan?"
"I'm thinking some inside work." Sean spoke up, "When we can get the information to Aurora, we get her to befriend one of the Inpental demons, and see if she can get him to turn."
"That's not a bad idea." Chris smiled. "But she's not going to do the spell till tomorrow night, that's pretty much a whole day of waiting to get the information to her."
"I wouldn't be to sure about that." Haley mused.
"What do you mean by that exactly?" Wyatt questioned.
"Growing up, my mom use to tell us that Charisma, Aurora, and myself would always be able to stay in contact with each other, no matter the distance apart we were, and without the help of spells. We're supposedly telepathically linked, our mom was suppose to show us how to tap into the telepathy but she died before she could." Haley sighed. "Anyway, I guess I'm trying to get at the fact that maybe, somehow, we'll be able to reach her that way."
The three Halliwell sisters looked at each other, "We might be able to." Piper mused.
"This is the song that never ends. It goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was. And they'll continue singing it forever just because, this is the song that never ends. It goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was. And they'll continue singing it forever just because, this is he song that never ends." Aurora sighed, she had been singing that song for the past fifteen minutes and was finally getting bored with it.
Rolling onto her side she stared at the wall, she was bored, tired, and growing cranky. She was afraid to go to sleep. She was afraid that once she woke up things wouldn't be the same, that the dream Haley had told her about would come true. In all reality that would be horrible, the worst thing imaginable through Aurora's eyes. Aurora knew that the day Haley had told her she dismissed it as nothing but a dream, but now she was having second thoughts about it.
Groaning Aurora sat up, she hated this, sitting, well lying, here alone, bored as hell. 'Aurora.' Aurora stilled at the voice.
"Haley?" She whispered, getting know answer of course.
'If you can hear me Aurora, you should be proud. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige just helped me with the telepathy thing, it's beginning to give me a headache.' There was a few seconds of silence before Aurora heard Haley say, 'Look we need you to befriend an Inpental demon and get him to turn on Reagan, as of right now it's the only way known to get rid of all of them.'
Aurora sat there for a moment trying to find a way to reply, hoping what she had heard was really her sister, and not some stupid trick Reagan was playing on her. But soon Haley's voice came back, 'Concentrate on me Aurora. Concentrate and you might be able to reply, if you can hear this. Just close your eyes and concentrate, think of the words you want to say.'
Doing as her sister told her Aurora closed her eyes and concentrated the best she could. 'Haley, please tell me this worked.'
'It did, but let me tell you now you're gonna have a killer headache in a bit, which is why I gotta rap this up. I feel like I'm gonna pass out soon.'
'So I basically have to make friends with a demon?'
'Yea, we're gonna see if we can figure out any other way while you do that.'
'Ok. I guess I can do that.'
'Just be careful.'
'Will do. Guess I'll talk to you later.'
'Yea, I'll keep in touch. Love you.'
'Love you to.'
That was when everything went silent, nothing else was said between the two. Aurora rubbed her temples, Haley had been right, it gave her quite the headache. Sighing Aurora fell back onto the bed, and stared at the canopy above her. So she had to befriend an Inpental demon. How was she going to do that when she was locked up in the room? Aurora mumbled to herself and glanced around trying to find something to do. She was about to get up and look around the en suite when there was a knock on the door.
"What?" Aurora questioned.
The reply she got was the door opening and an Inpental demon walking in. "Reagan asked me to get you for supper."
Sighing Aurora stood up, "Show me the way I'm getting hungry."
The demon turned around wordlessly and left the room, Aurora right behind him. He led her to a small dining room and soon turned and left. "Glad you didn't refuse to come." Reagan stated as she walked into the room.
"I was hungry." Aurora replied sitting down across from him. "But please tell me that this isn't going to be like the story of Persephone and Hades."
"What do you mean?" Reagan questioned.
"You know. Hades the ruler of the underworld in Greek mythology. He took Persephone hostage and gave her a pomegranate after Zeus, or was it Helios, came for her. She ate a few seeds and was stuck in the underworld for a third of the year, every year."
Reagan raised his eyebrow, "You know a lot about Greek mythology."
Aurora shook her head, "Only what I've read."
"Well don't worry that won't be the case here."
"Good." Aurora stated. "Now can we hurry up with the food. I'm hungry."
AN: I'm glad so many of you liked the chapter, just proves my judgement about the quality of my writing wrong. :P But thank you for all of the reviews, its' great to know people like the fic. I'm bored so I'm gonna take a poll. Should Aurora become evil like they think? Or should she come back her regular self?
Hippie Jade: Your back! The last time you reviewed was chapter fifteen, lol. But yes, love is in the air, and who knows about Haley's premonition you'll have to keep reading to find out. Caffeine and Sugar are great things.
AlexisHaliwell89: That's ok, I know what it's like to be busy. School starts in about eleven days for me, and when it come I have no clue when I'll get to review, so I'm trying to get as many chapters done as I can before I go back.
Paige Halliwell-Matthews: Yes Reagan is pure evil, and will soon be gotten rid of. Don't know how soon, but soon.
The Great and Powerful Oz: No it's not weird to love Reagan anyways. Evil characters are always great. They add so much drama to stories sometimes.
ilovedrew88: Yes and I thought up the spell all by myself, aren't you proud? lol. Anyway, hope you liked this chapter.
CharmedClover: Aurora evil is both scary yet intriguing. You never know what she's going to be like when she's evil. Yes, Aurora got a chance to say "I Love You" but Chris didn't. He'll get his chance...sooner or later...
