Fairies and Potions

I sat cross legged on the floor with my Fifth Year Potions book in front of me. I groan leaning back to the couch, much to Oliver's amusement. "Still don't get it?" George ask jumping over the back of the couch. Fred did the same. They caged Oliver in his place right behind me.

"No." I pout.

Oliver pat my head with a still amused smile. "You will."

"Try to clear your mind and start fresh?" Hermione suggest from her chair.

I groan resting the back of my head on Oliver's knee. Our eyes connect for a moment and I pout. "Why can't you explain it?" I whimper.

He roll his eyes and nudge my head forward. "Got to figure it out on your own."

"What about a distraction till you can clear your mind?" Fred ask sharing a mischief look with George.

His brother with the same look nod his head. "Yeah."

I look at them slightly worried about what they have in mind. "Like what?"

"Tell us the Fairy Story!" They cheered.

I roll my eyes turning to them. "I wouldn't mind hearing it." Oliver input.

Hermione look up from her own textbook. "I would like to hear it too." She said brightly.

I smile at the memory of the sandy brown hair girl from my past. I knew I couldn't use my aunts' real names so I used the made up names. I had to change my mom's too cause us both being named Prudence is suspicious. "My Aunt Julie," Phoebe. "Picked me up from my after school program. She took me out to dinner and we had a lot of fun. On our way home my mom called. She was freaking out cause my god-mother, Jenny, had a nightmare.

"That's when a girl not much younger than me ran out in front of the car. Julie stopped the car and in a rush told me to stay there as she went after the little girl. When she came back we couldn't get her to tell us her address so Julie brought her home with us. Who would have guess that would have been the start of our adventure with the Fairies?" I laugh as my mind start to spin with the memory.

Once at home Phoebe made the girl some hot chocolate and got her cookies to eat. I sat across from her looking at the box on the table with wonder. "You just have to be very careful cause it's hot, so blow on it, okay?"

I heard someone else come in and saw my worried mom and depressed Piper. "Hey. Did you find out anything more from her?" Mom asked.

Phoebe got a straight emotionless face. "Name, Rank, and Serial Number." She answer in a monotone voice.

I roll my eyes as the depressed looking Piper spoke up. "Her parents are on their way." She told them. "They live up the street." Piper then looked up to the silent girl that's sitting across from me. "They were very worried about you."

Phoebe turn away from them starting to walk off. "I'm gonna go to the car and get her jacket." She got to the key rack and got our attention. "Uh, keys?"

Mom gave her an 'unbelievable' look. "What?"

Phoebe pointed at the empty hooks. "You know, silver shiny things that go jingle-jingle."

Mom is upset now. "I don't have them."

I sigh softly. "I put them on the hook. You saw me do it, Phoebe." I said with my hands up when Phoebe look to) me with the unasked question.

"That's so weird. They were put here." Phoebe then stated.

The younger girl spoke up. "The Fairies probably hid them." Her voice is so sad.

Piper, Phoebe, and Mom gave her a confused look over what she said. I gave her a confused look over way she said it not what she said. "What was that?" Phoebe asked coming over to her. Mom and Piper did too.

Mom stood behind her and Piper on opposite side of Phoebe. "Sorry. I'm not supposed to talk about Fairies." She said really sad looking at her box.

Phoebe got down to her level and spoke to her like an equal. Not many adults do that. "Um, you know what?" She sat down with her in a comforting way. "In this house you can talk about anything you want." She moved the girl's hair out of her face. "Some times we talk about weird things, too." That's an understatement.

She look up at Phoebe trusting her and seems so hopeful. "Well, that's what Fairies do, hide your keys and things. They're tricky like that." Mom, Piper, and Phoebe shared a look I know so well. It's the look they do before running to the Book of Shadows for answers.

Phoebe carefully thought out what to ask next. "Is that what's in that box?" Phoebe ask nearly a whisper softly tapping the small wooden box. "Is it a Fairy?" The girl and her look at each other for a moment. "Is that who you're protecting?"

Right then, at that moment, the doorbell rang and mom groan. "That's probably your mom and dad." Piper said with little emotion but softly.

She made an upset face. "He's not my dad, he's just my mom's new husband." She spoke sadly and I knew somewhat how she felt.

Piper nod her head as I smile to her. "Come on." I said and she smile back to me. "Why don't we hang out sometime?" I suggest as we walk to the front door. She is only about a year or two younger than me. I am only what nine about to be ten in a few days? She is about eight, maybe nine herself.

"Sure." She spoke still so softly. We got to the hallway and she freaked out. "Get out of the doorway!"

"Kate." Her mom, with same sandy hair and dark eyes as her, scold slightly.

Kate still panic and I can see how real the threat is to her but I didn't feel like it was my place to say. "It's the In-Between. Get out of the In-Between." Her parents walked through the door.

Phoebe look to her parents and spoke in a serious voice. "What's an In-Between?"

Kate answer before her mom could stop her. "It's where the trolls are."

Her mom turn her around to face her. "Hunny, we've had this conversation before. You're a big girl, and it's time to stop believing in things like that." I saw Kate's dirty face and she looks broken. I can't believe her mom would do that to her. I look to my mom who was giving me same look I am sure I am making. "She's had some problems...-" her voice drift off as she tried to explain herself to us. "since her father and I divorced." She said with even voice after letting first part drift slightly. Kate looks like she is about to cry and was giving her mom the most pathetic look she can. I can't believe a mother wouldn't believe her daughter that she loves so dearly that this woman obviously does. "Regressed, sort of, back to the imaginary friends stage."

The man finally spoke as Phoebe place her hand on my shoulder to keep me from getting to involved knowing how I felt. She can see it and I know she can after she looked over me and Mom. "Look, uh, we—we should go. It—it's late." The man, step-father, said stepping in. He is happy she is with them so I know he isn't abusive or anything. Plus I don't get the bad feeling from him. Mom said I have her Character Picking talents. "Thank you again, for everything." He said as he turn to the girl and his wife.

Kate gave him a stubborn look. "They'll get us." she is worried about this, way more then she should be.

The man got down so he can be at her level without kneeling and spoke evenly. "I won't let them." He got my approval. "It's okay." he went down and start to pick her up who stiffen up. "Come on." He still speaking softly.

I then saw something on the door frame. "What's that?" I asked and they all look at it but didn't see anything and way the man was holding Kate she couldn't see.

She then start to panic and I saw what she did. It look like a little furry human with pointed ears. "Look! There it is!" She said scared as can be.

The man roll his eyes and her mom sigh softly shaking her head before looking to them. "Thank you."

Mom nod patting her shoulder. "You're welcome."

"What did you see?" Phoebe asked once the door was closed.

I was looking at it still slightly worried. "I don't know but it resemble a harry little human." I stated.

Mom frown slightly. "I am not doubting you but it's late and way past your bedtime. Damnit, Phoebe you know she is suppose to be in bed by ten." Mom scold the awesome aunt who took me out.

Mom place the tea pot on to the stove as the aunts talked and I sat at the kitchen with my head down. "Come on, Phoebe. Trolls and Fairies." Piper is trying to be voice of reason. "You don't believe that stuff?"

Phoebe look to her kind of hurt. "Sure. Why not?" she asked and I snicker.

"You bed." Piper snapped at me.

I pout looking to mom with my most hurt eyes as I can make. "She is way past curfew and she can't sleep. Not after seeing what she thinks she saw. Let her have some tea when it's done." Mom reason as she gave me a pointed look. I know that look, 'do not make me regret this' look.

Piper roll her eyes then look to Mom. "Well, maybe it's time we tell her about Santa." She said.

I sat up and gave Piper a look. "What about Santa?" I asked and Phoebe bit her lip. Phoebe knows I don't believe in Santa but doesn't mean I am not going to let her pick on Phoebe relentlessly while I can stop it, for a little while.

Piper gave me a look and Mom tried to hide her smile. "All I know is something definitely after her." Phoebe said after rolling her eyes.

"But you didn't see anything?" Piper pointed out.

"Wait!" Fred cut me off. "Only you and the girl could see them?" He asked confuse.

I laugh and shook my head. "They have this magic that's old that hide them from regular sight. If you don't truly believe and you don't have the innocent you can't see them. Like an imaginary friend they will seep to back of your mind and later forgotten." Then I lean forward giving him a look. "May I go back to the story now? The rest will be explain if you don't rudely interrupt me."

He nod his head with a grumbling. "Fine."

I smile to him as I took a breath. "Now where was I?"

"The girl just left and your aunts and mum couldn't figure out what you and the girl saw. They didn't see anything." Oliver said really in to the story and enjoying apparently.

I nod my head. "Okay, yeah. Well Aunt Jenny," Piper. "was being doubtful and really believed that the girl just got hurt when she fell but Aunt Julie," Phoebe. "was convince that the girl got hurt another way, she and I both agreed it look to much like claw marks. Very tiny claw marks but still claw marks." I snicker. "Mom then decided to play my Aunt Jenny's spot as middle child and play peace keeper, she is eldest so you can see the awkwardness there." I laugh slightly as my memory went to them fighting and mom playing peace maker. "She then sent us off to bed after she made us cups of tea to settle our nerves."

The next morning Phoebe woke me up and asked me about the books that Grams use to read to me. I grumble out where she put them in the attic and went back to sleep. When mom dragged me out of bed and had me bring up coffee for her and Phoebe I dragged my feet sipping on Phoebe's coffee. She smile up to me as I took another long sip then hand her, her drink. She drank some of it as she look over the book her and mom was looking at. "Hey I remember that." I grumble still really tired.

"Listen to this." Phoebe said opening book back up as Mom kept looking through the pictures she is looking. I reach for them and she hand them over. They are of a red-brown hair fairy name Lily. "Fairies, Elves, and Trolls are mystical creatures that live in a realm parallel to ours but separated by a thin veil." She is reading.

Mom seems confuse as she tilt the book up to read the spine. "The Enchanted Realm?" she asked confuse and knowing. "Isn't that a book Grams use to read to Dence when she was little and couldn't sleep while I was at work?" She asked.

Phoebe ignored her as she kept reading. "A thin veil which lifts on in the 'tween places." she then pull book away to look up at Mom. "'Tween places, Prue." she then start to explain. "That's like a realm in between two things, like doorways and windows, um, shadows-" She is losing things to name off.

"Shadows?" Mom asked confuse.

"That's between light and dark." I pipe up. Phoebe gave me a look. The look said, 'I was going to say that!'

"And it's exactly what Kate said." Phoebe pitch in. "'Trolls live in the In-Between.'"

Mom stop thinking for a moment. "Right, but when you found Kate, she wasn't in an In-Between." Mom is trying to figure this out.

Phoebe pick up her hand to show to wait a moment. "Actually, she was in the biggest In-Between of all, Midnight." She explain looking down at the book to read as mom thought about it. "'In the hour between night and day, the world itself becomes a 'tween.'" Phoebe read.

Mom is starting to worry, I know that face. She is calculating everything in her head. "So why isn't there anything in the Book of Shadows?" She ask confuse and trying to sort everything out in her head.

Phoebe gave me a look to say what is on my mind. I nod my head and stood up straight taking a sip of Mom's coffee. She gave me a look but ignore it. She hates it when I have coffee but it's not that often I drink sips of theirs unless I'm tired. "The Book of Shadows was written by adults." I toss out my idea.

"I'm assuming that scary-looking dude in your picture is a Troll." With that I look at it and gasp. "See?" She motion to me. "It's apparently similar to what Nixie saw!"

Mom is slightly confuse as again as she thought about everything. "So then why is he trying to hurt Kate?" she ask trying to reason with everything. Everything always have a reason, even if the reason isn't always perfectly understandable.

Phoebe shrug. "I don't know. We have to ask Kate." She admitted. She then start to get up as the phone start to ring. "And we will fill Piper in on the way." She is content which is good.

Mom got up as I went downstairs to answer the phone. Taking the steps by twos I got downstairs faster then normal not really listening to mom and Phoebe right now. "Hello?" I answer the phone.

"Hello, is Phoebe there?" A male voice ask. I think it's the one that Mom dared me to mess with, Case, Conner, something with a C.

"Who is it?" Piper ask walking over to me.

"Want's Phoebe." I said with a shrug.

She took a few steps up the stairs and yelled up. "Phoebe, Phone!" She took the phone spoke. "Hello?" she then stop for a moment and a look pass her face. "One moment." She said looking up the stairs as Phoebe came down handing her the papers, drawings, she was showing mom. "It's your little lawyer boyfriend." Piper said nearly emotionless.

"So there." Phoebe said taking phone away showing the pictures. "And he's not my boyfriend." She said in a weaker voice making me smile.

"Weird." Piper shrug it off as Phoebe start to talk on the phone.

"Hello?" "Um, the..." She looks to me and I pick up an envelope pointing at it. When she motion to me that he wants to know, 'not boyfriend' is. "Mailman." She said covered up. "Uh, yeah, sometimes Piper likes to tease me because I like to get the mail a lot." I hit my face and ran my hand down it with a weak groan. "Uh, so how are you?" She tried to change the subject.

I jumped as I ran after Piper who went back to the kitchen. Around the sitting room in to the kitchen I saw her grabbing her things and dully look to me. "Yes?" She as as I held up the envolope. "Yes, that's your's."

"Who is that?" I ask pointing at the name that is in the return address.

"Who do you think?" She ask still so emotionless I am really worried.

I frown at her and she raise an eyebrow at me in reply. "I don't know anybody with last name Andrew." I stated simply with a deeper frown.

She roll her eyes and shrug her shoulders. "Open it and see what's it about?" She suggest blandly.

"You." I said handing it to her. She roll her eyes and took it opening it quickly.

She took out the tan paper and read over it as she look slightly bored and want to just leave. "Great, you are invited to a dance at the school. It will be held in the Gym and you will have to wear classy dress clothes." She said sarcastic as she hand it back to me. She then start to walk out with her things and I followed her with the envelope and letter.

Mom came down as Piper start to put on her light jacket and start to get Phoebe's attention. "Because Piper's going through something, but I will c-call you a-and maybe we could meet at the club, okay?" she slightly stutter as mom tried to hurry her up. Mom took the phone away dramatically as she scream to it "Oh, Sorry. Bye!" And mom hanged up.

Mom and Phoebe ran in front of her and block her path as she grab her keys and head to the door. "Did you not look at those drawings?!" Phoebe asked frantic.

"They're cute, yes." She said still so emotionless. I look to mom who gave me the mirror look as I grab Piper's arm.

Phoebe look confuse as she looks at Piper. "Cute. Cute?" She asked. "We all had the same invisible Fairy friend, Piper." She pointed out. "That is proof that Fairies exist."

She gave me a look to make me let go of her light jacket and start to step around Phoebe and Mom who moved with her. "Or..." She started and gave them a slight glare for getting in her way. "It proves that one of us had a really," she moved the other way and Mom and Phoebe moved that way too, blocking her, "fertile imagination," she is getting aggravated at them, "and the other two were really good copycats." She suggest the actually quite possible outcome.

Mom step up as they kept blocking her in. "Piper, Honey." She reach out and pat Piper's hair down and Piper gave her dirty looks. "Just listen to me, okay?" She is trying to reason. Piper is who we are talking about here, reasoning doesn't work when she is dead-set thinking she is right. "Um, we think that Kate's in trouble," Piper was about to protest then stopped. "our kind of trouble." Mom said motioning between them and myself.

"Okay, well, I don't, and after what They did to Leo, I'm not really all that motivated to go dig up demons for them." she said coldly.

Phoebe took slightly definitive. "Trolls." She corrected.

"Whatever." She doesn't care. I even feel hurt about that. "Look, you guys can do whatever you want, but I've had it, and I'm done."

Mom gave her and upset confuse look. I know that emotion in her eyes. It's worry and it's bad worry. "What does that mean?" She ask skeptical.

Piper look down slightly thinking of a way to explain it. "That means that, um," she stop for a moment and then spoke again. "The Power that be haven't done anything but ruin my life," she start to explain, "so therefore, I'm not gonna do anything for them anymore, okay?" She asked harshly. "I'm going now." She said making them move. "Excuse me. I'm going now."

"I think she's on strike." Phoebe stated obvious.

"Nixie, go to Kate's we will be there shortly." Mom said. "Say you want to hang out with her or something." She then added.

As I start to walk to the door Phoebe called out over her shoulder. "Nothing witch-y till we get there!"

"Okay!" I call as I went down the street to the girl's home.

I came over and Kate's parents lead me up to her room. Once there we just draw some. "Sorry I'm no good." I said sheepishly as she smile to me.

With a shrug of her shoulders. "It's fine." She said as she went back to drawing. I smile as I did too.

A few minutes pass before a knock came at the door. "Kate?" Her step-dad said coming in. "Someone's here to see you." he said as he let Phoebe and mom in.

Both of them gave the step-dad sympathedict looks and walk to Kate. Phoebe put her hand softly on girl's head as show of affection as mom spoke. "Hey. So, um, we brought you your jacket." She said getting down to Kate's level. "We had to use the spare key to get into the car, though." She stated off hand. I can see Phoebe look over my shoulder to what Kate is drawing. "I guess the Fairies hid them after all." Mom kept on as she saw Phoebe motion to the picture and mom looked at it herself.

"Told you." Kate said not looking up from the picture.

Phoebe spoke up this time being, well, Phoebe. "What are you drawing? That looks like a very scary cave." Phoebe said as she watch the girl not even stop from what she's doing.

Mom played along. "you know..." she stopped and look at her pictures in her hand. "That looks a lot like mine." She said showing the girl the pictures from my mom's childhood.

Kate gasp as she look over the picture. "That's a Fairy and a Troll." She said as she look at the picture.

"Looks more like a wolf from a fairytale if you ask me." Kate roll her eyes at me and smile weakly.

Mom gave me a look which made me smile up at her innocently. "My mom says I'm making them up, but I'm not.

Mom sigh softly and smile. "Well, we believe you, okay?" Mom said softly holding the girl close to her comfortingly. "And we just need you to tell us everything that you know so that we can help."

Kate looks skeptical. "I don't know that much." she said carefully wording something so she didn't sound like a crazy person, only thing I can think of. "Thistle's kind of hard to understand." The girl said and I gave her a confuse look that the my aunt and mom did too. "Fairies don't talk the same way people do."

Phoebe lean over and look at the girl carefully. "Thistle?" She ask softly as if she is about to scare the girl off and that's not what she wants to do.

The girl looks proud of herself. "I saved her." she admitted. "See, the Fairies are bosses of the Enchanted Kingdom, but the Trolls wish they were the bosses, so they kidnapped Thistle from the King and Queen of the Fairies."

Mom look to Phoebe and me making sure we got all of that. "So Thistle is a Princess?" Phoebe asked.

She made a 'mhm' sound and then spoke again. "But the Trolls are gonna kill her unless her parents hand over the Kingdom." She explain slightly scared.

Phoebe look to mom. "It's a miniature Coup D'état."

Kate took a deep breath. "But I found her tied up in the care, and I saved her." She finished.

Prue looked proud of her. "That was very brave of you." she complimented.

She then looks slightly scared again as she starts to talk again. "But now the Trolls hate me 'cause I won't give her back. Most of the times, I can stay out of the In-Betweens, but at Midnight-" She start to let herself drift.

"There's no place to hide." Phoebe sympathize with her. "Yeah, we know."

"Can we see her?" Mom asked motioning to the box.

Kate grab the box and pulled it closer to her. "No. Only children can see Fairies."

Phoebe is trying to convince her as she start to make a humming noise like she's thinking. "I don't know if this is gonna help at all," she start to act like a modest kid and I try to not to roll my eyes. "but Prue and I, we're very in touch with our inner children."

Mom was trying not to laugh at her then suggest. "Can we at least try?" Mom softly press the matter.

"Hey, I am only a year or so older than you." I said with my hands up in the air. "I believe and I am still a kid though everyone says I don't act it."

Kate softly sigh giving up. "We'll have to go into an In-Between." she said as she got up. "Watch out for Trolls." She is looking between them and the last part was directed to me. She look around the window as did I as she put her key in to her lock and open it slowly. I saw the fairy who in truth looks like a little girl. I softly gasp and the girl we are helping smile at me. We she look to my mom and Phoebe, mom shook her head and Phoebe frown. The Fairy went back in to the box and she closed it locking it back up. "Can't help if you can't see her." she told mom and Phoebe upset. I think Phoebe got her hopes up. I can hear a tinkering noise as Kate holds the box to her ear. Mom and Phoebe share confuse looks. "Thistle says that if you really believe in Fairies, there's something that'll make you innocent again so you can see them." She said with a smirk.

Mom and Phoebe both nod and I felt like something bad was going to happen. Thistle gave Kate some dust looking stuff that she threw at the two adults who both close their eyes as I saw a light glow around them. Before I could ask something Phoebe just start to uncontrollably laugh. Mom bit her lip then start to, too. I look at Kate who looks like pure joy that the two is acting like, I don't know what! "It worked?" I asked her. She nod her head. Great, now I'm going to babysitting my aunt and mom.

"I think it worked." She said as she set the box down again.

Mom start to bounce up and down. "I wanna see the Fairy." She said like a little kid, I mean like five year old little.

They both gasp as the Fairy in pink flew out from the box and smile as she knew they can see her. Their faces of shock and amazement is proof of that. "Mom, I'll spend the night here if it's okay with Mr Bill and Kate's mom." I suggest and she nod.

"Okay, we get Piper!" She laugh and they both ran out of the house to the car to get to the club to get Piper from the club. Kate gave her a walkie-talkie to get in touch with us once everything is settle and they are ready to come over.

With that I look to her. "It's not good they are acting like kids." I said.

She frown and nod her head. "You think they are going to be okay?" She asked as she look after where my aunt and mom drove off.

"Probably. Doesn't mean they won't look like fools or drunks at it." I laugh and shook my head.

"You aren't that innocent." She stated.

I smile to her. "With little I had with adult figures in my life I had to learn how to act more mature then I really am." I said.

We went back to her room and sat down in her room as we went back to drawing. "You are a witch?" she asked.

I smile warmly as I pat her arm. "No worries, we are all good witches."

We drew till it start to get dark. As it did we start to hear little voices. Kate holding the box extremely close to her and I stood guard back to back with her. "Kate, Kate. Come in. It's Prue." my mom using a little kid voice said through the walkie-talkie. "Come in, Kate." the voices got louder as they zoom around the room and we stayed back to back as we moved around looking through the shadows for them. "Kate, are you there?"

"Answer them." I hiss as I glare in to the dark. I am scared for my new friend.

She listen to me and start to speak. "Prue, where are you?" She asked scared.

"We're at home." her voice said and I am starting to freak out not being able to see these things. "The dust didn't work on Piper."

Kate then declared on the walkie-talkie. "Then she doesn't believe." she look around as did I. I asked her and she repeated to them. "What are we gonna do?" she then added on her own. "I'm scared, there's shadows everywhere, and it's almost midnight."

Phoebe then start to talk, still like a little kid which I find very annoying. "Okay, listen, Kate. Okay, you don't have to worry." I groaned. Whenever someone says something like that you have to worry. "That's what we called to tell you, because the Trolls know that we have the key now, so they're not after you anymore. They are after us."

"Bull, they are here too." I said grumbling under my breath.

Kate ignored me as she talked in to the walkie-talkie. "No, they're here, too. We can hear them."

"As long as we have the key, Thistle is safe."

"Hold up a moment!" George cried out. "You telling me that the whole time you were on walkie-talkies things that you all didn't think to get out?" He asked confuse.

I groan leaning back some. "Kind of hard to do when there no where you can run. It made more sense to stay there and wait for the attack." I admitted. "We didn't have the key so it really didn't matter."

"What are walkie-talkies?" Fred asked with his face scrunch up confuse.

I smile and took out my cellphone. "Similar to this. You press a button and it calls whoever has the counter part. Just with this one it's a seven digit number and not just a button." I said passing him my cell phone. They looked at it and then hand it back to me when they start to call someone. I hanged up before it really rang though.

"Ignore them, go back to your story!" Hermione said happily really in to it like Oliver is.

I laugh and nod my head. "Okay, okay. I was at the walkie-talkies?" I asked and she nod her head and I sigh softly. "Well mom and Phoebe was telling us to turn the lights on and make the shadows disappear till they can get to us. We were freaking out more then we should but who wouldn't be? Fairy Trolls were everywhere!" I slightly said dramatically. "Somehow they got the key from Julie," Phoebe. "and Mom. They then came after us."

The trolls start to attack us. I flew them off as best as I could and tried to keep them at bay. We all freaked and trying to get them away from us and stay in center of the room. It's getting close to midnight. I groan at the thought of fighting these things off by myself without the others here yet.

Just about five minutes from midnight and I am slightly freaking out till we heard everything and then seem like a minute more than like five minutes pass and they start to attack us. I flung them away with my powers and screamed. Phoebe, Piper, and Mom came in and we all start to scream. They sounded adults again and I don't think they can see the Trolls anymore! We were both grabbed and dragged under the bed. I wrap myself around her as they start to come out at us.

A Troll threw Fairy Dust on us and light form around us as we both goth smaller and I notice then that Kate has wings and I can feel myself move but my legs and arms aren't moving me. I look back and notice I had wings too. Before either of us could escape them thought two of the Trolls grab hold of us and zoom away making us scream.

We end up in a cave scary like the one from Kate's pictures. I look around trying to figure out how we got here so fast and how we got in this small bird like cage. I look under as they gather up sticks and I groan and scream down to them. I can't understand myself though! It all coming out in weird sounds that's not my own voice.

What feels like forever and all I could do was comfort Thistle and Kate. This thing is scary as it is and my powers aren't working. I can't reach the lock so I can't unlock us. We are stuck. They eventually started a fire and we all screamed. Then more screaming but coming from another direction. We look and saw mom and the aunts. Phoebe and them are screaming at each other as they all panicky saved us by Phoebe levitating and mom pushing her through the fire.

Mom and Piper jumped through the fire and the fire unfreezed and the Trolls all burn crispy. I can understand Thistle slight and she told me to follow her along with Kate. "Hey, hey, you guys wait up!" Phoebe panic.

Mom spoke up speaking to Thistle. "Thistle, don't you know how to turn Kate back into a person?" she asked worriedly. "And my daughter?" she added motioning to me.

Kate start to say no in Fairy and shaking her head where the humans can understand her. "Kate, you know, you can't stay a Fairy, because if you do, your mom will be very sad." Phoebe tried to reason.

Kate look down and in the Fairy Language that apparently they can't understand but can read her body language. She asked "So?"

Piper spoke up walking over to us. "Um," she start and then look to Kate understandingly. I smile, this is the Piper I know and love, not the emotionless one that was moping around the house as of late. "You know what?" Piper asked and I heard Kate say what, though I know they can't understand her. "I think I kind of know how you're feeling." She inform the girl. I smile knowing what she's doing. She is going to talk about Leo which reminds me, she deserves a big hug when I am full size again! "When someone you love goes away, it doesn't make any sense, and you feel like the whole world is out to get you." she then took a deep breath. "But you know what?" She asked again. This time Kate kept quiet but by body language she wants to know what Piper is coming from. "Your mom and dad didn't split up to hurt you. Things just happen, things that you may never understand. But you just have to believe that it's for the best, even if it doesn't always seem that way." Kate look down in slight shame and said she misses her daddy. I flew over to her and touch her arm saying I miss mine too. "You remember how sad you were when your daddy left?" Piper asked. Kate nod her head and look at Piper seriously and concern along with grief written across her face. "Well, that's how sad everybody's gonna be if you don't come home." She said simply.

Kate turn to Thistle and told her to turn her back to human again. Thistle nod her head approving and did as she said turn her back human again. "Thistle says she needs to borrow Nixie for a while. She will bring her back before daylight." Kate told them.

Mom and Piper looks worried but I nod to them to trust me. They hesitantly agreed and let the Fairy Princess take me away. I flew with her and I don't know how to describe everything. The kingdom is beautiful. It's huge and nothing but plants making all the huts and buildings and the castle is an old widow tree and you can see all the floors and rooms. We went in and she flew us straight to the center where Thistle was embrace by an older female Fairy with a small crown that's slightly bigger than her's. A male one with a huge crown then hugs Thistle. They turn to me with warm voices thanking me. I don't understand how I can speak Fairy or understand them but they explain that it was part of my gift.

They then flew around me multi times as they sprinkle Fairy Dust on me and speaking so fast in their tongue I don't truly understand it. It was all a gift to me for helping Thistle, because I'm a witch that helped her. I smile and told them that they really need to thank Kate not me. Nodding their heads they told me of their plans with Kate.

I approved of them and they then usher me away. I flew out and a bright flash brought me to the house and I am human size in a green leaf like dress. Flowers arrangements are on the ground in front of me and mom open the door with the aunts. "That didn't take long." Mom said to me with a smile.

"I think I was blessed by the Fairy King and Queen." I said in slight shock. We pick up the things as they tried to figure out who sent them.

"Who delivers at this hour?" Phoebe asked while Mom just smile knowingly.

She laugh as she pick up her keys looking at me then to her sisters. "I think that this is someone's way of saying thank you." She said and then smiled. "Blessed huh?" she asked and I laugh nodding my head.

We pick up all of the flowers and stuff and I hugged Piper who was smiling and hugged me back. I then left them to have their moments sitting in the next room. "Marriage is hard enough, but marriage to a whitelighter. He's going to orb out at all hours of the night and sometimes he's gone for weeks at a time. But honestly, if I'm gonna have a meltdown every time I have no idea where he is..." her voice drift slightly then she clear her throat finishing what she was saying. "Then none of us are gonna be able to do our jobs." She said with a slight sob in her voice. "And if we had lost that little girl tonight..." She is losing her voice again and sobs are getting easier to hear which is rare with Piper.

Phoebe being Phoebe doesn't like seeing people like this. "But we didn't." She said.

"But we could have. And I don't think I could live with that." she start to cry. I moved over and hug her tightly. She wrap her arms around me protectively. "If that means that I have to give up Leo..." She start to sob more. "Then I guess that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make." mom pulled her close to a hug on the other side and then Piper got up starting to walk off. That's when we heard someone orb in.

Leo is standing in front of the stairs. "I think it's time for me to go to bed." I said and start to run pass Leo softly touching his arm. He wrap his arm around me lightly and then turn to Piper. I ran up the stairs and straight to mom's room to change after shower and crawl in to bed. I'm pass tired after today.

I laugh at their face expressions when I was finished the story. The twins look amazed as Hermione looks fearful ever slightly. Oliver's I can't read. Oliver shook off the emotion and smile a warm smile. "You are a good story teller, felt like I was actually there." He said softly.

The others nod their heads. I just laugh. "Yeah, I was told that a lot as was my Aunt Julie." I said with passion I didn't know I even had for story telling. Huh, maybe I am more like Phoebe then I thought.

I then stifled a yawn. Oliver saw and reach down ruffling my hair some. "Ever figure it out?" He ask motioning to the forgotten book in my lap.

I blush looking down at it then laugh, uncontrollable laughing. The others besides Oliver gave me weird looks. "I was over thinking it?" I ask in my laughing fit which made Oliver smile warmly. "Wow." I kept laughing.

The whole potion is simple and because this is meant to be a bigger doses then what we were doing. I was just over thinking it. That's just amusing and now see why Oliver kept laughing every time I got it wrong.
