Chapter 4

by Catherine

Kate felt an odd connection to the sisters that were in the ally and tried stealthily to follow them. They got as far as another ally when she lost them. So she just forgot about it for a while. She headed over to the book shop and as though it were magic the section that she once glanced at called to her. This section contained all sorts of books on the Wiccan way of life.

She was compelled to buy a few. When she got back to her apartment, after stopping for coffee, she sat down and read them all as though she were studying for a test. Little did she know but that test was soon to come.

Kate's TV had been malfunctioning for a while now and out of the blue it turned on. She headed into the living room to turn it off but it caught her attention. It was a segment on the news, about 'Ask Pheobe' an advice column in one of the local newspapers. Off the bat she recognized her as one of the sisters she saw in the ally.

Now she knew who it was, at least who one of them was, Pheobe Halliwell. She opened up the internet, when she sat down at her computer desk, and searched for Pheobe. She found one link to a fan site that gave a biography. She, indeed, had two sisters, two who were living any way. She searched for her address and wrote it down, Kat was planning on dropping by to talk to them and tell them her story.

She grabbed her keys and headed out the door. She somehow knew exactly where to go. When she approached the house she, with a queasy feeling in her stomach, rang the doorbell. Who answered the door, but Pheobe herself. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked "Can I come in?" with out thinking. "First things first," replied Pheobe, "Who are you?" Feeling a little flustered and very embarrassed Kate replied, "Err—right that was rude, sorry. My name's Kathleen err—well Kate, Kate Riley. I saw you earlier today and then on TV and I saw something it was kind of confusing." "Okay," said Pheobe with a hesitant pause, "come in."

"This way. Now, what was it you saw?" "Well," Kate started "There was a woman and a man is this ally I was cutting through. He seemed to be running from her. The thing is they weren't in front of me or behind me when I was walking they just, you'll think I'm crazy, but they just appeared out of no where. She was like, I don't know seducing him then she stabbed him in the back" tears now welling up in her eyes, "Then, well it's almost too gross, she cut off his head and gouged his eyes out" now balling, "it was sick. Then I saw you and two women come out of no where and she disappeared in a cloud of green smoke."
