Scully stood staring at the spot where the warlock had been only seconds before, watching the sisters looking around for signs of who had caused his disappearance.
"Well, that was weird. I didn't orb it… "
She heard Paige say, and found herself still more confused. Not only had she not been noticed by the warlock, now it seems the Charmed Ones were oblivious to her presence. She thought back to how she'd felt the day before, unnoticed and ignored by Mulder, and once again felt that familiar pang of jealousy. Phoebe had sensed the bewilderment before now, but she dismissed the feeling as she knew all three of the women standing in the room felt that way. Now though, she knew this new emotion being introduced was from someone else. She gazed around the room trying to get a stronger sense of this person and finally pinpointed Scully, still standing in the doorway.
Scully saw Phoebe staring in her direction and wondered why she hadn't said anything. Not even a 'Thanks for getting rid of him' and suddenly felt quite pissed off at their ingratitude. Phoebe concentrated on Scully's emotions trying to pin point exactly where she was. Walking toward the doorway, she held her hands out, as if feeling around her for something she couldn't see. And that's when Scully realised, maybe they couldn't see her. Maybe this was her power. As she thought it, she felt Phoebe's arm collide with her head.
"Ow! Jeez, did you have to swing your arms around so hard?" She exclaimed, half annoyed, half relieved.
"Dana?"
"No, it's the ghost of Christmas present." She replied sarcastically.
"Uh, how did you do that?"
"I don't know. I was kinda hoping, maybe you could tell me. I mean, I find out yesterday I have some sort of magical power and now suddenly, today after all these years, it reveals itself."
"You don't think the fact that she's on the most powerful Spiritual Nexus could be how she's tapping into her powers, do you?"
It was Paige who asked, and the other three women looked at her questioningly. Though she couldn't see Scully looking at her, it was like she could feel her gaze.
"Oh, right, you don't know what the Nexus is do you? This house was built on one, it's pretty much a source of magical power."
"Okay, so you're suggesting I've only just got my power because of where I am?"
"It's a possibility," Piper answered. "Though you could always have had the power but never realised or were never open enough for it to be revealed."
Okay, okay. I know it's been like FOREVER since I updated this. I just didn't know where I wanted to go with it for a while, and then I, urm, kinda forgot all about it. Please don't lynch me! Besides, I'm writing up the next chapter or few tonight so if ya want them, you have to let me live!
