Hi guys, sorry for the delay, but here's the new chapter; I thought it would be cool to do my own version of one of the issues of the Charmed comics: "Morality Bites Back", and I hope you enjoy it.
Oh, and I also included a reference to Alyssa Milano's new TV series, Mistresses, just so you know.
Morality Bites Back
Phoebe was at The Bay Mirror writing something on her computer, when a woman came through the door of her office.
-Hey Phoebe! –The blond woman said. –It's so nice to have you back!
-Hey Savi; it's good to be back, but you can thank Elise for that, I'm glad she came back too. –Phoebe said smiling.
-That's good. –Savi agreed. –So, how's the book writing going?
-Oh, it's great. Actually, I've already finished it, I'm just waiting to publish it.
-Really? Don't forget to tell us when you publish it. –Savi replied.
-I will. –Phoebe said. –But now you have to tell me where are you going so fancy? –She added looking at Savi's clothes.
-I kind of have a date tonight; I've been seeing this man for a month now.
-And who is this mysterious man?
-I can't tell you; we want to keep our relationship in secret for a while.
-Honey, if he's ashamed to tell everyone that he's dating you, then he's not good enough for you. –Phoebe said with a concerned look on her face.
-Oh, it's not that! It's because he's very well known, and we wanted some privacy.
-Now I understand it! Is he an actor? Or maybe a singer?
-No. –Savi said smiling. –All I can tell you is that he's a baseball player.
-Well, good date with the secret player then. –Phoebe said grabbing Savi's hand, but when she did it, she received a premonition:
"Savi was standing in a room shouting at a guy:
-I don't want to talk to you anymore! It's over; don't ever talk to me again!"
-Are you ok? –Savi asked.
-Oh, I'm fine. –Phoebe said. –But I've got to go now too; see you later. And remember that guys sometimes are stupid, so be very patient. –She waved and left the room.
Later that night, the sisters were talking and drinking wine, until Phoebe got up.
-Ok guys, I think I should go because tomorrow will be a long day. –Phoebe said stretching the last word.
-Why? –Piper asked.
-I had a premonition that my friend is gonna break up with her boyfriend, so tomorrow she's going to be really sad and I'll take her out to cheer her up.
-I don't know it that's nice or really creepy; I don't know how you can plan everything like that. –Piper said sarcastically.
-Shut up. –Phoebe replied smiling and then left.
The next day, when Phoebe got to the office, she saw a bunch of people leaving.
-Where's everyone going? –She asked.
-To the hospital; Savannah was attacked yesterday. –A man answered.
-What?
-Yeah, she was at her boyfriend's house and the neighbor heard a fight and called the police; when they got there, the man was gone and she was unconscious on the floor.
-Oh my God. Do the police know who the man is? Savi told me he was well known.
-They won't tell us, but I found out that the apartment actually didn't belong to anyone; it was empty, and that's why they were meeting there.
-This guy is really strange; one thing is to keep a relationship a secret, but another is to do that.
-I know. But hopefully everything will be fine; are you coming with us?
-Yes sure. –She replied and they left.
In the hospital, Phoebe and three other people were sitting next to Savi's bed; she was still unconscious and her body had several bruises.
Phoebe got up to grab a coffee, but before she left, she touched Savi's hand, getting a premonition:
"Savannah broke up with her boyfriend and decided to leave, but he wouldn't let her; she slapped him and he fought back, hurting her. Soon the fight grew bigger and he hit her in the head with a baseball bat, running away right after."
After the premonition Phoebe was in shock; she knew the man that had almost killed her friend. She left for the coffee machine while calling Piper; since her sister didn't answer, she left a message. She sat next to the machine, trying to think of what she could do; she was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't see Sigma appearing next to her.
The demon waved his hand and Phoebe's eyes shone grey for a second. Then, he faded away, without being seen.
Phoebe got up and left for the manor; when she got there, she ran into Piper.
-Ouch. –The older sister said. –Where's the fire? –She asked sarcastically.
-Very funny Piper. –Phoebe deadpanned. –Why didn't you answer my calls?
-I'm sorry, I lost my phone. Or Melinda just hid it somewhere here.
-It's ok. If you excuse me, I have to go to the attic for a second.
-Okey. –Piper said leaving.
Phoebe went to the attic and scried for the man; as soon as she got a location, she left.
-Was that Phoebe? –Prue asked coming into the manor with Paige. –Why is she such in a hurry?
-I have no idea. –Piper said opening some drawers. –Found it! –She yelled grabbing her phone.
She pressed the button and listened to the message Phoebe had sent her:
"Hi Piper, remember my friend who broke up with her boyfriend? Well, she's in the hospital because he beat her up, and I had a premonition about it; I know who the man is, Call Greene, the baseball player. So call me as soon as you can."
-Wait, did she say Call Greene? -Prue asked. -Oh my God!
-What? Why? -Piper asked.
-Can't you remember? Ten years ago we were sent to the future because we use our powers to punish the guilty, not save the innocent. And Phoebe was arrested...
-Because she killed the man who murdered her friend! -Piper completed remembering. -How could I forget about this?
-It's been a long time for you; time works differently for the dead. -Prue replied.
-Wait, girls. So you're saying that Phoebe is going to kill someone? But I thought you had the chance to choose the right thing! -Paige asked.
-Something must have changed her; maybe a spell or a demon. -Prue replied.
-She went to the attic to see something, I think she scried for him and now she's on her way. -Piper said. -I'll get the location and you ask Cole to flame there; it will be faster.
As soon as Piper came back, Prue called him, who was with Billie, training.
-Cole, go to Park street 291 now and find Phoebe. Stop her from doing anything stupid until we get there.
-What?
-Just do it, damn it! I'll explain later.
-Ok. -He said and hung up. He grabbed Billie and flamed away.
Phoebe was waiting outside Greene's house; she chanted a spell to turn the cameras off and to unlock the doors. When she came in, she heard him talking on the phone:
-They're gonna find out that I did it. Come on, it's not that hard to understand that I was dating Savannah, and as soon as they do, they're gonna arrest me! No, I won't calm down, I don't know why I did it, ok? I can't even remember being that angry...
-Enough of that lame story. –Phoebe said attracting his attention.
-Wait, who are you? –Call asked dropping his phone.
-You're a killer; Savannah Haling is in the hospital because of you; you hit her and then left her there, and now you will pay the price.
She levitated and kicked him, making him fall.
-Please don't hurt me! –He cried covering his eyes with his hand, but when he took it off, the room was empty.
In an alley next to the house, Cole appeared with Phoebe, meeting Paige, who was waiting for them.
-Thank God you're back! Did she do anything? –Billie asked.
-Just scared the guy. –Cole responded and then turned to Phoebe. –What were you thinking? Are you insane?
-I, I don't know why I came to him. I wanted to make him confess or something, but then I got controlled by this anger that I didn't know I could even feel…
-We'll figure it out. –Cole said holding her close. –Come on, let's wait for your sisters.
Later, at the manor, the six of them were talking.
-Ok, now I'm definitely sure we undid the spell. –Paige said.
-Thanks guys. –Phoebe said.
–Now we just need to find out who did this to you. –Prue said.
-Actually, before we need to stop Call; he's going to find a way out of it. –Phoebe said.
-Fine, but how? –Piper asked.
-I have the perfect idea... –Phoebe replied.
Carl was in his apartment; there was a bodyguard in the front door and his lawyer had just left saying:
-We're gonna find someone to blame for this.
As soon as the door closed and he left, someone knocked the guard off.
Inside the apartment, Carl sat on his couch, but he was scared when 3 Phoebe Halliwells appeared in front of him.
-What the hell! –He shouted. –Who are you and what do you want?
-I want you to confess the crime you did. –The three said; the one in the middle grabbed a camera and started recording.
-Say it now. –She said.
-What? No!
-Than you'll have to face us. –Two more Phoebes appeared from behind him, making him scream.
-Ok, ok! I'll do it. –He said crying. –I hit Savannah Haling; we had a fight and she broke up with me, I had never felt so angry before, and I lost control! I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry.
-Thank you. –The clone in the middle said before the five of them flamed away.
The next day, in the manor, Phoebe, Piper and Prue were watching the news:
"-Today, baseball player Call Greene will face trial for hitting an innocent woman and then leaving her there; she is now fine and awaken at the hospital, but have severe injuries…"
-I'm so glad it all ended well, I mean, half well considering that Savi'll have to stay in the hospital for a week. –Phoebe said.
-Me too. –Prue said. –And your idea of scaring him into telling the truth was really good.
-Yeah, we did it once before. –Piper replied.
-Phoebe! There's a call for you upstairs. –Leo's voice called.
But when Phoebe came into the room, she found Sigma.
-Nice to see you Mrs. Halliwell. –He said with Leo's voice. –I see you found your way out of my little situation. -He added with his normal voice.
-It was you! You were the one who made me feel so angry!
-And don't forget Mr. Greene too, I also had a little string around him. –He understood Phoebe's silence as a cue to continue. –I just wanted to tell you that all I do is enhance feelings that are already there; be careful because I can dig right into your deepest wounds. –He completed and faded away.
