A.N: I've changed a little bit this chapter, about describing, detailing etc. because I thought it was too simple. The plot it's the same so it's only slightly changed. Enjoy
Chapter 1. My immortal
The manor was empty.
Piper was at P3 trying to solve some band problems because they were asking for a bigger check,while Phoebe was at her apartment.Billie and Christy were at their parents' house (so Christy could convince Billie to join the dark side along her parents). (and Paige didn't meet Henry)
The air outside was quite cold. The full moon was standing on the darkenened sky surrounded by the milions of stars. It was a chilly weather, announcing the arrival of autumn.
A rattle of a car was heard in the desert street as the lights of the car lightened the gloomy scenery, revealing the lines of the old trees on the alley. A cold breeze of wind made the figure who was getting out of the car to shiver and sneeze.
The moonlight revealed the porcelein face of a young woman. Her dark hair was covering half of her face making her eyes not seen, until she lift her chin and her dark brown hair fell on her shoulders, letting her beautiful hazel eyes be seen.
She approached a tall manor with heavy steps and tired of a long day of work, she didn't saw a shaddow that approach her after she parked her car. It stayed there, in the middle of the street, staring at her. The shaddow looked up, and seeing the full moon, it muttured "now it's the time"and it dissappeared letting one more word…"Paige"
Paige entered the lonely manor thinking she saw something outside and turned back, but didn't see anything.
"Maybe it's just my imagination!" she sighed and entered the hallway, placing her coat on a chair near the doorway.
She placed her purse on the sofa in the living room and just collapsed on the couch, tired of all shopping she had this day; and problems as well at the manor.
"I'm so tired!" she thought and closed her eyes without even bother to go to her room and change from her clothes after a long day of work.
She almost fallen to sleep when she heard something from the kitchen and ran to see what happened.When she arrived there after a couple of seconds she saw nothing but a big pile ash on the middle of the floor.
"Huh?" she muttured confused, not knowing where the ash came from, especially that there was no fire and the burning sound would have woke her.
Then she heard another crack from the attic and leaving the pile of ash there, she orbed to the attic and saw ash on the floor like in the kitchen.
"What the….it seems demon ash" Paige bend down and touched it. It was still hot. "I don't remember vanquishing any demons today…"
She turned to the Book of Shadows and started scanning the old pages, for what, she didn't know. After a half an hour of searching she found nothing and deciding to clean the ash headed downstairs to take the broom.
'RING' the phone rang and Paige grabbed the phone and answered, a little annoyed.
"Yes?" asked Paige.
"Paige,we have some serious problems here at the club,so i'll stay longer than i thought,so unless you didn't eat for dinner at work you should order something because i didn't prepare dinner either."
"Ok," Paige said yawning "But where are the boys?"
"Don't worry,they are with the elf-nanny."
"Ok,bye sweety!"said Piper at the other line of the phone
"Bye!"
And with a final yawn she put the cell on the table full of potions and herbs, and headed upstairs, to her room thinking that she'll clean tommorow.After taking a quick shower she changed into her nightshirt, throwing herself on the bed,thinking of the strange noises from the attic and the kitchen.
It was about three in the morning when she heard another crack, but it was too close, the crack appeared in her bedroom. She jumped from the bed and trying to turn on the light but couldn't work. A little panicked she started questioning the darkness. "Who-who are you, show yourself!"
"Oh-my-god!" she screamed and too shocked to move an inch from where she was standing she looked at the figure that was standing in front of her, wearing a black cloak, his dark eyes full of delight checking Paige
"Wha-? You? Here? WE VANQUISHED YOU three years ago!" Paige spat quietly, taking a frightened step backwards and rubbing her tired eyes
"Nice to see you again, Paige," he said quietly approaching her
"This is only my imagination...after a long day of work," she muttered trying to regain control over herself but her legs were trembling so hard that she had to rest on the bed "You can't be here, Cole!"
"Well, Paige, It looks that I can!" Cole smirked and threw a veil with a gold potion in it at her and Paige collapsed unconcious on the bed.
"Hmm…you've changed Paige, last time you were redhead, brunette again? he said "In fact i like dark hair,not so naive and sweet, more dangerous!" he grinned,took her in his arms and shimmered away still smiling at her.
