Fire and demons – part 6
Knowing your past
A little quicker update this time, I'm hoping the whole story will go up today ).
The following morning was sunny and Maeve heard bird singing when she woke up.
"Good morning." Prue was already up and dressed. "There's breakfast for you in the kitchen."
Maeve went down tot the kitchen. The only one there was Cole. She smiled stiffly.
"Morning"
Even though Cole had been very nice to her, it felt weird to be alone her with him. But she could see why Phoebe liked him. He was a lovely chap and a hottie. She only wondered where he fitted in all this.
"Lucky me, having summer break, no school. Are you like a witch or wizard too?"
She sat down on the opposite side of him and stared at him. He looked back. What beautiful eyes he had. Where do you find a guy like that?
"Not exactly. I'm not so different from you. One of my parents was also a demon. But I didn't have any witch powers to save me from becoming one of the Source's demonic soldiers of fortune. But I'm changed now, thanks to Phoebe. I wish for you to continue in the light, but you never know."
"What do you know about my father? Did you know him very well, was he very evil?"
"This is not the time to talk about stuff like that, maybe later. Lets eat breakfast."
The sisters joined them and the morning was without any problems. Maeve called Morris and thanked him. It felt good. Then she looked through her mom's magic papers. She saw some cool stuff. Leo came in the afternoon and said that her mom, whose name was Farrah, had been able to control Fire, as they had assumed. Farrah could throw fireballs and teleport. If she had lived longer maybe the power would have increased.
"Do you know what happened to my mom?"
"No one knows all the details, but soon after your birth there was chaotic. Farrah and her whitelighter were found dead. Apparently they had been attacked, but out of a miracle you survived. And proper authorities put you in the system."
"What attacked her?"
"I don't know. I'm sorry."
He looked sorry too and put a hand on her shoulder. But Maeve really wanted to know the full story about her mother's death. She had a feeling there was more to her mother's death then what Leo pretended.
"Can I stay here until tomorrow? I will be safe after my birthday, right?"
"Sure you can stay another night, and I think you will be safe. Maybe we can celebrate it here?"
"That would be great!"
Maeve had a fuzzy feeling inside. She had a nice birthday to look forward to.
Later on the afternoon she bought a notebook for the magic stuff, closely monitored by Prue. She also got a bouquet for Darryl, that they gave him in their way home. Cole didn't tell her much about her father that day, it felt like he was avoiding her. Maybe he didn't want to think about his own evil past or her father had been very bad.
The evening was action free as well. Maeve started to feel safe. She hoped that one day she would be able to revenge her mother's death. But she wasn't going to be a soldier for the cloaked man. No matter what he said. But little did she knew, when she fell asleep that night in Prue's room, of what the future had in mind for her. Little did anyone know what would happen next. Only time could tell.
Next chapter will be up A.S.A.P.
