Chapter 11
.
The next morning, Pam went to speak with her boyfriend.
.
Pam: I had a dream last night, you were in it.
Jason: Really, hope you remember the good parts.
Pam: Not that kind of dream. It involved war, slavery, genocide. And you and I were ruling over all this misery.
Jason: Weird dream.
Pam: I don't think it's a coincidence that it came the night after meeting my bio parents for the first time ever.
Jason: Yeah, your mind was on that, and what they said about witches and demons...
Pam: This might sound weird, but I think they gave me this vision.
Jason: Wow. I know they didn't seem to like me all that much. But it seems like a lot to scare you away from me.
Pam: Yeah, you'd think they would have stuck with something simple like you cheating on me, or you hitting me.
Jason: I would never do either of those things.
Pam: You haven't yet. But be honest, are you a demon?
Jason: Yes.
Pam: Is anyone telling me the truth?
Jason: I'm sorry.
Pam: So these last two years has just been you trying to get these powers I suppossedly possess?
Jason: At first that was a big part of it yes. But I care about you, more than I ever thought I could care about anyone. I meant what I said, you and I could make real peace.
Pam: I've seen the future, it's basically Hell.
Jason: That was the future that they wanted you to see, you don't think they're a little bit biased. And maybe to achieve real peace there would be some casualties, but maybe we can reduce the number to the bare minimum.
Pam: So you're okay with people dying?
Jason: People are dying every day from needless wars, disease, starvation. How is letting that happen somehow more moral than taking over?
Pam: You're saying that demons are the good guys and witches are the bad guys?
Jason: It's not as clear cut as they'd lead you to believe. The war has been going on since the beginning of time. I can't deny that my side has done some bad stuff, and no my hands are far from clean. But you know, relationships between demons and witches are not unheard of. Why don't you ask your aunt Phoebe and her ex-husband Cole. He tried to become a hero for her, she tried becoming queen of the Underworld for him. In ancient Egypt the demon Jeric fell in love with the witch Isis, the charmed ones vanquished them but they're back together. Not all demons are evil, some try to be better. And ofcourse some whitelighters have tried to murder children. It's like any other war, there are good and bad elements on both sides.
Pam: So what now?
Jason: I don't blame you for being angry, at me or your bio parents. Maybe you should take some time, really look at both sides, get to know both sides. Than you can make an informed decision about which side to join, if any.
Pam: That's fairly reasonable. Okay, I'll take some time to figure this out.
