"So you know the plan?" Aurora asked Alan the following night, eager to get out of the underworld and reek havoc amongst those in the 'real' world. Starting with a night out on the town with Kelsey, after all she needed to show her a good time.
"I leave the door unlocked, so you can get out after I kill Reagan." Alan replied.
"Good boy." Aurora grinned. "You remember things."
"You ok Aurora? You seem different." Alan commented.
"I'm fine." Aurora replied as a small voice in the back of her head said, 'If he can notice a difference, my family definitely will. Because they are much closer to me then the demon standing before you, well me.'
"You sure?"
"Yea," Aurora smiled Alan. "I'm just a little excited, that's all. I can see great things coming from you and me working together."
"How can I be sure you won't turn on me?"
"I only turn on those who don't treat me right. Mainly those who lie to me. You don't have anything to worry about Alan."
After a few minutes Alan looked at Aurora and asked, "So I guess this is it then isn't it?"
"Yup. You kill him, and you'll be in charge. Then you'll help me rule the underworld."
"Now then?"
"Now or never Alan." Aurora stated.
"I don't know if I can do this." Alan sighed.
"You can Alan. You know you can."
"Why do I have to do it?"
"Because Reagan trusts you, he wouldn't expect you to ever do anything like this. He's still weary of me, and that doesn't help me at all. Now go and get it over with."
Alan swallowed the lump in his throat, before walking out of the room. Aurora smiled, and her plan was working. She started to pack up the few things she had taken out of her bag as she listened for any sounds of terror outside of the room. But none came.
"Chris I'll make sure I call you as soon as I hear something from her." Haley stated.
"How can you be sure she'll contact you telepathically anyway?" Chris questioned.
"Chris, this is Aurora we're talking about." Haley replied. "If that's the only way to get through to us, she'll use it."
"Now Chris, go make sure Kelsey has a good birthday." Piper ordered her middle child.
"You promise that as soon as you hear anything you'll call me?"
"We promise Chris." Wyatt replied. "Now go. Eric and Adam are waiting outside for you."
Chris sighed and looked around the attic, his options running through his head. Shaking his head he turned and left the attic yelling, "You better," over his shoulder. But as he walked down the stairs and out the front door the only thing that was running through his head was Aurora. She had completely changed his life and Chris didn't know how.
"So Chris ready to get going?" Adam questioned as Chris walked up to him and Eric.
"Yup. But where exactly are we going?" Chris questioned.
"Ten pin bowling." Eric replied.
Chris snorted, "Ten pin bowling? We haven't done that in two years."
"Hey, it's always managed to cheer Kelsey up, and you know how she gets on her birthday. I thought it would be fun." Eric defended himself.
Chris shook his head, "It could be fun, I guess."
"Especially considering I'm gonna kick all of your butts." Kelsey laughed as she walked up to them.
"I thought I told you we were going to pick you up." Eric said walking over to his girlfriend and giving her a hug and a kiss.
Kelsey grinned up at him, "I thought I'd surprise you guys."
Adam sighed, "We gonna get going now?"
"Little anxious?" Kelsey questioned laughingly.
"I just want to prove you wrong." Adam replied.
"Uh huh, we'll see about that." Kelsey smiled.
"Um...how exactly are we getting there?" Chris questioned, looking at his three closest friends, wishing, at the same time, that Aurora was there.
"I was thinking we'd walk." Eric replied, shrugging his shoulders.
"Walk? Are you kidding me?" Kelsey questioned. "That's like a half hour walk from here."
"It won't kill you." Eric stated.
"It won't but that's a half hour less to kick your ass at bowling." Kelsey stated.
Chris rolled his eyes, "I'll be right back. I'm gonna go see if Wyatt, my mom, or my dad can give us a ride."
'Looks like your plan isn't going to well.'
"Shut up." Aurora growled at the voice in her head.
'Well I don't hear anything.'
"Just because there aren't any noises doesn't mean my plan isn't working." Aurora replied. "And by the way, you can't rag on my plans because in a way, they are yours too."
Ignoring the voice in her head Aurora picked up her bag and started to walk towards the door. Taking a deep breath she turned the door knob and grinned as the door opened easily. "See, my plans working just fine." She muttered as she walked out of the room. Looking around she saw and heard nothing. Aurora continued to walk using her empathy, which her new and improved self had finally got a hold of, to sense for anyone that may be around.
A grin came to her face as she felt it, fear and confusion. Aurora followed it, and as the feeling got stronger she knew she had gotten closer. As soon as Aurora turned the corner she saw Reagan and Alan standing face to face. Her plan was going to be over and done with in no time, and she'd be able to go and play games with everyone's heads.
"I'm sorry that I have to do this Reagan." Aurora heard Alan say.
"Do what Alan?"
Alan raised his hand and sent a fire ball towards Reagan. Reagan quickly deflected it and sent it towards a wall. "What the hell do you think you're doing Alan?" Reagan growled.
"He's doing what I told him to do." Aurora replied stepping into the doorway and looking at Reagan with her arms crossed at her chest.
"You told him to attack me?"
"No. I told him to kill you." Aurora replied, her hand shooting out from her side, sending Reagan into the air. "Now Alan."
Haley watched as Wyatt walked into the attic, "'Bout time you got back," she mused.
"Sorry, traffic." Wyatt replied.
"On a Wednesday night?" Phoebe questioned with an arched eyebrow.
"The bowling alley, is surprisingly busy." Wyatt sighed. "So what's the plan?"
Shaking her head Haley said, "I'm going to do my mom's video spell to see what's going on with Aurora."
"Are you sure it's going to work?" Leo questioned.
"I'm positive Leo." Haley sighed. "If it worked for Aurora when we were down there, it's gotta work for me."
"But Reagan was here when Aurora did it. He know's about the spell, and could of cast a blocking spell to keep it from working." Leo counteracted.
"At least let her try dad." Melinda said with a sigh from where she sat between her cousins Peyton and Patience.
Haley rolled her eyes and recited the spell that lay in her memory,
"Show me now
Those I love
Show me now
Those I think of.
Bring them to me,
Show me what I seek.
In the form of a movie,
As I speak."
As soon as Haley had stopped talking, an image formed on one of the walls. "No I told him to kill you." They heard Aurora's voice filter through the room, before the image became clear on the wall.
When the picture was finally clear they saw Aurora standing in a doorway with her arm extended, and Reagan in the air.
"Now Alan!" Aurora said through gritted teeth.
"He's not going to do it." Reagan stated.
"Shut up." Aurora snapped. "What are you waiting for Alan? Now or never!"
Alan paused for a brief second, before sending a fire ball flying towards Reagan. All seemed to slow down as the fire ball hit Reagan square in the chest, and his form soon changed from that of a human to an Inpental demon, or at least a form of one. Within seconds Reagan was engulfed in flames, and gone.
Aurora dropped her am to the side and looked at Alan, "I'm sorry I lied to you," she whispered as he too became demon dust. Soon the yells of Inpental demons echoed through the room as they to were vanquished with Reagan's death.
A smile came to Aurora's face. A smile of success. " It worked."
Haley grinned to herself as the image disappeared, "I guess now all we need to do is get to her, and bring her back."
"Could orb down there and bring her back." Melinda suggested.
"But Chris already tried that, and couldn't get to her." Peyton counteracted.
"We have something now though, Haley, Charisma, and Aurora's telepathic link. As well as the fact that Reagan is gone, and if he had some kind of anti-orb spell on wherever they were it's broken now." Melinda smiled.
"Ok, you got a point there." Peyton sighed.
Haley shook her head, as Aurora's voice filled it. 'I did it Haley. Reagan's gone and so are the other Inpental demons.'
'I know Aurora. I did mom's spell, and it worked. We saw you helping the Inpental demon.'
'Is Chris there?'
'No, he went with Eric and Adam, to help Kelsey have a good birthday. Took us hours to convince him to take a few hours to relax for a bit. He's been worried sick, same with everyone else.'
'So how exactly am I suppose to get out of here? I tried the spell we use to use to get to the underworld and out, but it didn't work.'
'We're going to try orbing. But, I'm getting a headache. I'll tell you as soon as I know if orbing is going to work or not.'
'Ok, but hurry it up. I don't want to be stuck down here anymore.'
'And I don' t want you to be down there anymore.'
"Haley!" Wyatt's voice filtered through her ears, replacing Aurora's voice.
"What?" Haley questioned.
"I've said your name five times already." Wyatt stated.
"Sorry. Have to get use to the whole telepathy thing." Haley smiled.
"Aurora contacted you?" Paige questioned.
"I'm glad you helped me figure out how to work telepathy. It's so far proven to be very handy." Haley replied.
Aurora paced back and forth she wanted to get out of the underworld, and it was beginning to annoy her that she wasn't able to get out herself. After all her demonic powers were beginning to shine, she should be able to shimmer. At least she figured she should be able to, she was sure that was one of her four times great grandfather's powers.
Sighing Aurora wondered what was taking Haley so long, it had already been twenty minutes. Orbing couldn't possibly take that long. A grin came to Aurora's face as she saw the familiar white and blue sparkles form into her older sister, and Wyatt. "What took you guys so long?" Aurora questioned as she hugged Haley.
"We ended up somewhere else the first time we tried to use my thoughts to get us to you." Haley replied.
"I guess I can't be mad. You did get to me." Aurora smiled, as she picked up her bag. "But can we get out of here? I've been down here way to long."
"Sure thing." Haley smiled back, taking her sister's hand as well as her boyfriends. Within seconds they were orbing out of the underworld and to the manor.
As soon as Aurora's feet were touching solid ground again, she was knocked to the ground. "Ow." Aurora mumbled sitting up.
"Sorry." Charisma grinned at Aurora.
"That's ok."Aurora laughed hugging her younger sister. "I missed you kiddo."
"Missed you too Aurora." Charisma grinned, as she stood up and helped Aurora up.
Aurora looked at her dad and smiled, "I missed you dad."
"I missed you too." He whispered as he pulled Aurora into a tight hug, almost as if he was afraid to let go.
"Dad..." Aurora trailed off.
"Yea?" He questioned still holding Aurora to him.
"I need to breath." Aurora replied.
"Oh, sorry." Donald said taking a step back.
"It's ok dad." Aurora smiled. She looked from her dad, to her sisters. "You guys should go back to Disney Land."
"After what happened? I don't think so." Haley stated.
"Haley, you guys have two and a half days left there. You should go and have fun, just watch your back. I'll be perfectly fine here. You don't need to worry about me." Aurora replied.
"That's what you said last time, and look what happened." Haley grumbled.
"It won't happen again for awhile." Aurora said.
"How can you be so sure?" Charisma questioned.
"I just am." Aurora sighed turning to Wyatt. "You think your girlfriend needs a break don't you? After worrying about me, she defiantly needs it."
"Aurora's right Haley." Wyatt said looking up at his girlfriend. "And if you need help I'm just a call away."
"I don't know..." Haley trailed off.
Aurora sighed. "Dad make Haley go. And don't disagree with me, you all know you want to finish your holiday. I'll be fine."
"I don't see the problem in going." Donald stated. "After all it's still a paid for trip. How about we head back there in a few hours."
"Dad-" Haley started.
"No, we're gonna go." Donald cut her off. "You need it. Aurora's right, you need a break. Plus we still have to buy Aurora a souvenir."
"See you gotta go." Aurora laughed, looking up at her older sister. "Go and have fun for me. Charisma you still want to go, right?"
"Yea." Charisma replied. "As long as you're ok, I want to go back."
"I'm fine." Aurora smiled, looking around the attic where pretty much all of the 'Halliwell' clan was "So how has everyone been?"
Before anyone could say anything the attic door opened and Chris's voice filled the room, "Aurora?"
Aurora smiled and turned around. "Chris," she said, before launching herself at him. "It's so good to see you."
"I'm so glad you're alright." Chris whispered into her ear, as he wrapped his arms around her. "Never do that again."
"I'll try not to." Aurora replied, taking a step back and looking at him, a smile still plastered on her face. "I thought you were out with Kelsey, Eric, and Adam."
"I was, then your sister called and told me that Reagan was gone, and they were going to get you. So I waited a while before leaving Kelsey, Eric, and Adam at the bowling alley, and then I orbed here." Chris replied.
"Let me guess, you got your ass kicked at bowling." Aurora stated.
"Yea, that's basically it." Chris smiled at her.
"Are the two of you done with your lovey dovey stuff yet?" Haley questioned. "I'm hungry and would really like to get something to eat before I'm forced to go back to Disney Land."
"Don't make it sound like a bad thing, sis." Aurora said turning to face her. "And you're one to talk about the lovey dovey stuff."
"It's like everything has gone back to normal." Charisma mused, as her sister's bickered back and forth.

Angelnanoo: Thanks for the review!
CharmedClover: I to wonder if anyone will notice Aurora is 'different'. They could all be blinded by happiness that they don't notice. Either that or Aurora's evil half really is a good actress. Yes, Alan was a good character, it was a pity to kill him off.
