AN: Sorry about updating this late, but blame it on my internet I did and I even got into a yelling match with my computer it was not pretty.
Chapter 2: Death knows no breeds
Phoebe: Was pacing around the room, it had been two hours and the kids weren't back yet and that truly worried her. "We never took this long."
Piper: Was on her other side pacing as well, "I know right, it should only take an hour tops."
Paige: Was sitting on the sofa next to Henry, "Uhm sisters, I hate to tell you this, but we wouldn't just take an hour." They stop pacing and turn to look back at her. "Well we didn't,"
Prue: Who's sitting on Paige's other side and next to Andy, nods her head, "Yea, we would always take like five ho— uhm I mean six hour— you know what almost a whole a day, we would always leave the guys worrying, I have no idea what you're two are talking about."
Leo: Waving off his wife and sister-in-laws pacing passion, "Ah Prue, just let them be, they need to pace it's who they've become since they had the kids."
Piper: Shaking her head, "Not true, it's who I have become since Wyatt joined the army."
Eva: Rolls her eyes, "Are we going to have this conversation again? I told you Piper he told me in confidence."
Lyn: Folding her arms over her chest, "Yea it wasn't pretty."
Frank: Shaking his head, "I told him it was a bad idea, but you try telling a Halliwell boy, child or anything that goes with Halliwell not to do something and…"
Derek: Pounding his right fist with his left hand, "Bam, they go and do it just because you tell them not to."
Leo: Nods his head, "Yea, I knew she was going to kill him."
Piper: She stops pacing and glares back to them, "Wait a minute you all knew before me?"
Andy: He couldn't help but chuckle, "He was worried you were going to kill him."
Piper: "I'm not surprised that Andrew over there knew, you practically spoiled the boy."
Prue: Shaking her head at her sister, "Like you can talk you did the same thing to Parker."
Coop: Nodding his head over to Henry, "She's not the only one."
Ryan: Looking back to his cousin as she sat next to David, "You know, I've noticed this, bring them all together and they make hell."
Emma: Smiling, "Ah Ry you just figured that out?"
Suddenly someone orbed in front of them.
Piper: Her best motherly face on, "Oh now, you kids better have a good reason as to why it took you so long!"
Though to their surprised standing there in normal non elder clothes was Max. A smile firmly on his worn out face. He looked a lot older than he should, but still his smile made him look young as well. His normally brown hair had hints of gray in it, while his dark green eyes held nothing but the same ageless look they used to have.
J.J.: Looking up to his long lost brother always amazed and shocked, "Max?"
Max: Sent his little brother a nod, "Heya, Shrimp," David, took one look at him and shook his head, he got up and left the room muttering things to himself, Emma slowly gets up and goes after him, "Guess I pissed off, Duck huh pop?" He glanced at both a shocked Billie and Julian, "Well don't all come welcoming me at once now."
Billie: Stays next to Julian she doesn't want to move or blink for fear that he might just disappear, "It's good to see you Max."
Max: He sends her a smile, "It's good to be seen by you mom."
Julian: "Why is that?" Max threw him a confused look, "That we can see you now?"
J.J.: Knew that his brother David got his father's temper, "Dad,"
Julian: Waving off his youngest son's worry, "No, I just wanna know what has brought him back to Earth, when nothing ever has before."
Max: Nods he can read the pain in his father's eyes, "Gabriel," He turns his green eyes now to his Aunts Piper and Phoebe, who stop pacing just to look back at him, "Is dead,"
Before anyone of them could comprehend what he had just said, in orbed/starred/shimmered/hearted everyone. Wyatt was close to Bianca as they looked out to the younger people that were with them. They could see the pain and the frustration in Chris and Linn's eyes. They could see the anger in Pacey's eyes and the sadness in Hazel and Bella's eyes, they were being held by Pacey. They could see the misery in Lex's eyes as he tried to calm a dejected Nix. They could see the toughness in Hank's brown eyes as Emily cracked in his arms. Mel had her eyes closed trying to calm herself down but it was slipping, and then they saw Damian as he tried to get something out of an emotionless Parker.
Damian: "Park, you okay?" She just stood there looking down at her bloody hands; her blood had mixed with Gabriel's, "Parker?" She looks up to his face, she gave him a slight nod but looked back down to her hands, he didn't look convinced.
Parker: "Why wouldn't I be fine?" She looks away from her hands, "When Gabriel's the one that's dead." She went to leave the room when she comes face to face with Max, "What are you doing here now?"
Max: Wanting to pull her close, god he missed her, yea he had seen her when he helped her fight Janet but she didn't really know it was really him so that didn't count, but there she was the best friend he left behind. "Parker, you did something amazing."
Parker: Rolling her eyes a stubborn nature coming out thick, "What was so amazing about losing a friend? About losing a battle with that son of a bitch?"
Max: "Gabriel's soul, Parker you saved his soul."
Parker: Dismissing his answer as if it was never said, "He's dead, what does his soul matter?"
Max: Gulping he could see this was going to be hard, "Instead of rotting away in the Wasteland he's going to…"
Parker: A fire in her green eyes, "Rot away in the Heavens."
Max: Looking back at her shocked, didn't she know what she had done was something that had never been done before? Did she not care that she had just done the impossible? "Parker,"
Parker: "What Max? What do you want me to say; oh you're welcome that I can't kill Roderick? Oh I tried my best gave it one hundred percent. Hell I gave it my all and still he lives, we're too evenly matched that ain't going to change!"
Max: "Yes it is, you just have to vanquish him the same way you did his father,"
Parker: She walked up to him, a dangerous calm in her green eyes, and if all didn't know any better they would have thought her eyes were dark blue, "The only problem with that Max, is I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA HOW I KILLED HIM!"
Max: "Well don't fret love, I'll tell you, you used the Hollow, and a nice pretty spell to boot," Taking out a piece of paper, "I have it here."
Parker: Looking down to the paper, "I've never done that."
Phoebe: Looks back worried, god she had raised Parker and Ryan to love each other to trust each other. Parker believed in and looked up to Ryan, if she were to find out that in another life he had slaughtered everyone in the family, almost killed her, ruined her life, scared her body, what would she think of this Ryan? Would she fear him or hate him? Phoebe herself just couldn't take that risk, "Max,"
Max: Gulped as Pacey sent him a glare and her his Aunt's voice, "It was around the time of your death you know when Wyatt was Lord Wyatt," He knew perfectly well why Pacey was glaring back at him and why his Aunt Phoebe had said his name, "The reason you don't remember is because he pretty much killed you."
Parker: Shaking her head, "No I got killed by a Darklighter! BECAUSE I BLED TO DEATH BECAUSE CHRIS COULDN'T HEAL!"
Max: "Yea! THAT WAS AFTER YOU FOUGHT RODERICK'S FATHER."
Piper: "Okay, enough both of you, we're not trying to get into a yelling match."
Parker: "Oh whatever,"
She goes to leave.
Coop: "Paige where are you going?"
Parker: "OUT!"
They hear the front door slam.
Phoebe: Looking back to Coop, "We'll give her some time, she just lost her friend." She looks out to the kids, "They just lost their friend,"
-Next Scene-
David: Was standing in his room glaring at a picture in his hands. It was a picture of JJ Max and himself, all three of them were smiling big goofy smiles it had been before Max had left, back when everything was easy and nothing could ever hurt them not demons nor family. They looked so happy that it made him angrier, how could his brother leave like that? And how could he come back as if nothing had changed? And how could his other brother just take him back, didn't he realize that he'd be gone just like before? He was so focused at glaring back at the picture he hadn't heard the door open. "You're a stupid rat, ass-whip!" He yelled more with passion and rage in his eyes, "What was the reason for you leaving? Huh? Why did you go and become a stupid Elder? What…" He dropped his head in shame, "Wasn't I a good enough brother? Weren't we a good enough family?"
A Voice: "How could you not be?"
David: turned back and came face to face with Emma, he shook his head, he should have known she'd have come after him, "Emma,"
Emma: Standing there with her arms crossed over her chest a Paige look on her face, "Don't you give me those, puppy dog eyes, tell me instead what's the matter with you."
David: Shaking his head, "Nothing's the matter with me."
Emma: Walked up to him and pointed to the picture in his hands, "That doesn't look like nothing."
David: "He left Emma, he didn't call ever, didn't write he just picked up his things and left a note that said, 'I'm going to be an Elder,' not goodbye, not I love you, not thanks for raising me, nothing just, 'I'm going to be an Elder' that's it!"
Emma: Took the picture out of his hands and threw it onto the bed, she then pulled him into a hug, "He had his reasons."
David: "But not to say goodbye, to me, mom, or dad, hell to JJ? You remember how much JJ was crushed about that? And the fact is, we hunted everywhere for him, my grades fell a lot, my attitude went to the trash, you remember how I was."
Emma: Nods, "I do,"
David: "I can't go back to that, I don't know how to."
Emma: She put her hands on his face, "You won't have to, I promise."
David: "How do you know? And you know what, this isn't just about me, its about JJ too, if Max leaves," He snorted, "When Max leaves, he's going to be crushed again and I just can't stand for Max to just keep doing that to us, to him."
Emma: Her eyes shined in a way that only Halliwells have ever shined, "You're right you can't."
David: Looking slightly helpless, "What am I going to do?"
Emma: She put her hand on his cheek, in a loving way, "Right now, nothing but I promise you, we'll both get to the bottom of this."
He just nods his head.
-Next Scene-
Parker was walking through the underworld. She had hearted down there, it had been just a normal instinct to do so. She didn't even want to be there but there she was right smack in the Underworld. She walked into the bar that she had met Gabriel in, god it brought so many memories to her mind. She stopped dead in her tracks as she looked around herself, she saw the lower level demons celebrating drinking and having fun, laughter all around her, she walked up to the Bartender who was smiling just a little.
Bartender: "Ah, little Halliwell, what brings you here?"
Parker: Put money upon the table, "Need to get drunk."
Bartender: Put a drink onto the counter, "No need to pay, you did everything you could."
Parker: Takes a sip of the drink, "He still lives."
Bartender: Raising his own glass to what Parker had just said, "Yes, Gab still lives in our hearts and minds."
Parker: Sending him a glare, "That's not who I was talking about."
Bartender: Frowning slightly and gulped down his throat, "I know,"
Parker: Drinks from the bottle, "What good am I if I couldn't kill him?"
Bartender: His eye soften, "You really asking me, a demonic Bartender that?"
Parker: Looks up to his eyes, "You're the only one that would tell me the truth. My family they'd lie to protect my feelings, they'd lie because that's the only thing that comes to mind when I'm around."
Bartender: Shaking his head, "Okay, then tell me, you did your best yes?"
Parker: Nods her head, "All of it,"
Bartender: Wiping the bar's top, "Where you close?"
Parker: She traced the bottle's rim, "So close,"
Bartender: He nods, "So then what's the problem?"
Parker: Looks up to his eyes, that she's notice are now dark red, there's only a hint of sadness, worry in the rest of them, "I failed,"
Bartender: Puts his hand on top of hers, "Little Halliwell let me tell you why we lower levels are celebrating."
Parker: Taking a random guess that doesn't even feel right, "Because you all hated Gabriel?"
Bartender: Slightly laughs, "No, because you couldn't save his body, but instead you did him the honor that no one has ever had the pleasure of getting, because of the love that you felt for him, because of all the good that you made him do."
Parker: Saying what came to her mind, "He got killed,"
Bartender: Shaking his head, "His soul was saved."
Parker: She threw him a glare, a young pain filled glare, "What good does that do him?"
Bartender: His words only held sweetness in them, no anger or hatred, "You've never been to the waste land have you?"
Parker: "No,"
Bartender: He drinks from his bottle now, "Believe me, it does him all the good that he doesn't even deserve, and believe me he deserves a lot."
Parker: "I still failed him."
Bartender: "Then if you still believe that, there's only one thing you can do."
Parker: "What's that?"
Bartender: "Devote your life to killing the bastard that killed your friend."
Parker: Looks down to her drink, "I plan too,"
Bartender: Pulling her chin up to meet his eyes, "Just remember, don't push those that love you away, Gabriel would hate to see that, and right now," He looks up to the roof of his club, "He's watching our every move, hoping and praying we don't fuck up, that we do what he wishes us to."
Parker: Her voice trembled, "And that is?"
Bartender: "Live our lives, and just remember him from time to time."
Parker: Laughs slightly, with bitterness in her voice, "You know I met him here, in this very bar."
Bartender: "Oh,"
Parker: He left her to her thoughts and she closed her eyes, and gripped the bottle firmer as her mind took her back to the place she didn't want to remember, "Oh god how could I be so stupid?"
*Memory*
Parker was younger, she was a fifteen year old teenager, with charm like no other. A fire in her light green eyes and she was in the prime of her life, hell she was as she thought invincible everything was going good for her family she couldn't be happier, well she could have, but at that second she was just pretty happy to be youngest in her family. Because what she was doing was going to get her killed. Right now she was sitting in front of a bar, she didn't fear the fact that her mother and aunts would kill her if she was near a bar, hell a drink not that she liked liquor it tasted funny to her. But she wasn't at a mortal bar, hell they would only ground her, but she was at a demonic bar, they wouldn't just ground her, they'd ground her hearts, bind her other powers, they'd make her spend the rest of her life in her room, literally they could do that. They were the Charmed Ones no one would question them. She was screwed. Really screwed. Though she was happy to know she wouldn't be the only one screwed or trapped in her room without powers. Pacey was sitting next to her, tapping his hand almost in frustration. He hated coming to this place more than she did. And her hatred of the Underworld was huge.
He was dressed for his part though, wearing a black shirt and jeans with chucks. A beer bottle in front of him, but only a little gone from it, he didn't dislike it as Parker but he didn't really feel right if he was drunk, he felt that he'd be off his game, and he couldn't be off his game if he and her were in the Underworld. Someone could get hurt, and he'd die if it was Parker. Just like her she'd die if anything happened to him, they were that close. David and Max were on Pacey's other side drinking back bottles of vodka both were dressed in black and gray they looked like two bad asses. No one could even tell that they were both half whitelighters. While on her other side, were Nix, Lex, Hazel, and Emma. Emma was drinking as well, she was dressed in hot pink dress that was pretty short. Her hair up in a bun she had her eyes scanning the room for their demon. Nix was smoking and was dressed in a tight neon yellow shirt and pants while Lex had his arm hooked with hers; he was dressed in a leather jacket, blue shirt, and jeans. His hair was back and he looked rather dangerous. Hazel was looking around the room, a beer in front of her but she hadn't touched it the whole night. She was dressed in a button up jacket and sweats ready for action. She seemed like the only one dressed for a fight.
Nix: Took a puff of her cigarette, "Just relax, we're not going to get in trouble."
Parker: Rolling her eyes and getting a peanut from the bar's counter, "Yes we are, we are screwed," She looked at what she was about to eat and put it back. "We are beyond screwed, screwed would be if we were just drinking at Gramps, or at a real mortal bar but since we're not well that means literally screwed."
Max: Slightly smiled at her panicky voice, "Which means we're in deep shit."
Emma: Rolling her eyes at her younger cousins, "Will you relax?"
David: "Aw Emma, come on you damn well know, we have fearful Paige with us."
Pacey: Coming to Parker's defense in seconds, that was his cousin no one messed with her and lived to tell anyone, "Leave her alone, just because me and Parker don't like to hang out in the underworld like you morons doesn't mean anything."
Max: "It's just Andrew, you and Paige aren't living up to your names shakes, is all."
Lex: Pounding the table just a little, "Yea, have a backbone you two."
Parker: "You want backbone I can give you backbone just give me a second to walk over to your ass and kill you DEREK."
Lex: Smiling at this version of Parker, "Cute Paige,"
Parker: Looking over her shoulder, she couldn't help but think someone was looking at her, watching her, "Yes I am,"
Hazel: Interrupting anything her moronic twin brother might say, "Are we going to do anything or just sit here and get drunk?"
Max: "Action and more action is that all you ever think about Hazel?"
Hazel: With a non emotional face, "Maybe,"
Emma: turned to look back at Parker, "It's your turn,"
David: Sharing a look with Hazel, "You think she's ready?" She doesn't nod or shake her head she just rolls her eyes.
Parker: "Wait no its not, its Nix's!"
Lex: "No she did it last month it's your turn Parker."
Pacey: Almost getting up, "I'll do it,"
Hazel: Waving off his offer, "You did it the other time, it's Parker's turn."
Nix: "Besides, we're here for a male, not that you don't look hot but I know for a fact that you're straight."
Pacey: Sitting back down, "Gee thanks I knew that already."
Parker: Sending them a bit more of a panic look, "Why does it have to be me?"
Emma: "It's just fair that way," Giving her, a slight push to a demon's table, "Now go get him."
Parker walked over to the demon in the dark corner.
Max: "Think she's going to do good?"
Nix: "Not a chance we're going to have to save Paige's ass."
Hazel: "She'll be fine,"
Max: Sending her a smile, "Well if you say so, it has to be true." But she doesn't return it.
Parker stopped at the demon's table, she was smiling remembering lines that her cousins had used before, trying to have a firm demonic sound in her voice yet feminine as well, the demon turned up from his beer and smiled a creepy smile at her. She fought hard with herself not to cringe at him. God he stank, his fashion sense was crap, he was wearing more black than she thought possible, his hair could use a cut, but his eyes that was one thing she did like they were almost a yellow they almost pulled her to sit down but she kept herself firm and only sent him a charming Halliwell smile, a smile not many demons knew, hell none that lived knew them.
Demon: "Never seen you around these places."
Parker: "New,"
Demon: "Where you from?"
Parker: Ran her hand around the table's rim, "Just new,"
Demon: "Interesting," He took out a smoke and lit one up for himself, he took it out of his mouth and handed it to her, "Want?"
Parker: Gulped, "Why not?" She took it from him, and she did what she had seen her cousin do so many times, she took a puff from the smoke and she felt the fire rush through her veins, felt the stress just leave her mind, she smiled at the demon now not just her Halliwell smile but a sexy one as well, "So tell me,"
Demon: Holding out his hand, "Hector," She took it. "And you?"
Parker: Thinking it was best to leave out her first and last name, no demon would think of anything if she used her middle and father's last name, "Parker Valentine,"
Hector: Looks her over, his eyes went down her young face, to her black shirt that showed off her body and ended up on her chest, "You don't look like a Valentine."
Parker: Laughs, "I get that a lot."
Hector: "I'm glad you much rather look like a Foxy, because you scream hot."
Parker: Laughs again though she really wants to roll her eyes, "I haven't heard that one before."
Hector: Getting closer to him, "Glad to know I'm your first."
Parker's thoughts: "I bet you are,"
Hector: Stood up and looked down at her, "Come on, let's go outside."
Parker: "Momma always told me not to go anywhere in the night."
Hector: Pulling her up to him, "What do you have to lose?"
Pacey gives Parker a hard look.
Nix: "What the hell is she doing?"
Emma: "Going with him or we won't get another chance to take him down."
Pacey's thoughts: "Don't even think about it, Paige, just keep him here, don't leave with him."
Parker: A suddenly emotion over takes her and danger calls to her, she jumps to catch up with it, "Why not?"
Hector: Smiles to her, "Let's go then," He lets her pass and she walks out of the bar he follows.
Pacey: "If she gets hurt I'm going to kill you all."
Max: "She'll be fine,"
David: "Oh that's good and all, but I think we've been made."
Lex: "What do you mean?" They look around as the music has stopped playing, and all of the demons are staring back at them. "Oh, you mean that."
Hazel: "Take them down,"
Nix: "If only it'd be that easy."
(Alley)
Parker: was staring back at Hector as he looked her up and down. "What?"
Hector: "You know, Parker Valentine,"
Parker: No fear in her eyes, "Yes?"
Hector: His hand ran up her side, "I've heard of a Parker Valentine."
Parker: Caught off guard, "Huh?"
Hector: He held her hand now, holding it tightly, "She vanquished a Seer, a man that I respected dearly."
Parker: Starts walking backwards, "Well see about that, my name isn't Parker Valentine."
Hector: "I figured, seeing as she's been missing for a long-long-long time."
Parker: "You're point?"
Hector: Walking closer to her, "You look a lot like her."
Parker: Her hand gripping the athame in her belt, "I look like a lot of people."
Hector: His finger touches her cheek, "But,"
A Voice: "Step away from her, if you value your life."
(Back in the bar)
Pacey jumped over the demon that went crashing around his feet. Lex waves his hand trying to kill the demon that was near Nix, while Emma orbed in and out of energy balls, Hazel just threw back athame after athame. Max and David were double-teaming the demons around them.
Pacey: Throwing a beer bottle at the demons around Nix, "We need to get to Parker," He blew a demon up now, "You think you're tough I'm way stronger than your weak ass."
Demon: "Says the Halliwell that is going to die?"
Pacey: "That's what you think."
Demon: "And I will be right."
Pacey: "Ha, my ass,"
Lex: Jumped out of the way of an energy ball, "Easier said than done."
Max: Ducking from an energy ball, "You're point,"
Nix: Conjuring an athame and threw it at the demons around Emma, "We better hurry up with these bastards."
Pacey: A smile fell on his face as he punched out the demon he was just talking to, "No problem,"
(Back with Parker)
Parker: Looks behind her, and saw a teenager with brown hair and dark green eyes standing before her. He's wearing all black yet none of it leather, "Who are you?"
Hector: "This does not concern you."
Teen: "Do you know who you're talking to?"
Hector: His eyes go down to the floor, "She murdered the Seer."
Teen: Smiling slightly to Parker, "Well then let's throw her a party."
Hector: Goes red, "You rotten excuse of a demon."
Teen: His eyes turn mean, "You shouldn't have said that," He went to make his move, but Parker sent a bolt at Hector instead, "Nice, I never saw you coming."
Parker: They both turn as they hear the noise inside the bar, "What was that?"
Teen: As if it was nothing, "You're family's getting their asses beat."
Parker: Starts to run, "I have to help them."
Teen: Goes after her, "Right, you have to go after them," Parker enters the bar and gets ready to help but the Teen walks up in front of her, "Let me handle this," He throws a fireball at the roof stopping the demons from killing Pacey who is on the floor bleeding, "Enough, leave them alone, they have freedom to come as they please."
Bartender: "They were here to hunt a demon."
Teen: "I know, I made them come, Hector was outing us to the bars, talking smack about us, and he was leading a battle to our doorstep. I hired these Halliwells to help our cause, and they so willingly came to our aid." The demons walked away from the Halliwells going back to their lives and tables as if nothing had come to pass. He walked over to Pacey and helped him up, "Pardon my moronic men, they know not who they hit."
Pacey: Knowing this guy had just saved his ass, "No offence taken,"
Lex: Helped Nix up, "Who are you?"
Teen: Smiled an almost human smile, yet there was something demonic about it, "Gabriel Peirce but my friends call me, Gab, my demons call me Mr. Peirce."
Emma: "And what should we call you?"
Gabriel: Smiles back to Parker, who is standing right next to him, "Gabriel I hope, and in do time, maybe even Gab, I'm a nice guy."
Nix: "Well then, thanks for the save."
Gabriel: "You're the one that did me the favor."
Parker: Giving him a hard glance, "So you weren't just bull shiting?"
Gabriel: Shook his head, "No, he was a really bad demon."
Max: "And what are you?"
Gabriel: "Me I'm,"
Hazel: Giving him a hard look, "Different,"
*End*
Parker shook her head and just took another gulp of the liquor in her hands, praying it'd wash away the pain, and memories but something told her, she was in for a tough night.
-Next Scene-
Pacey: Was flipping through the book trying to find something about past lives, though deep down he had no clue about what in the world he was looking for, but what better way to find a way to get Parker to remember about Valentine than look in the book. If there was a way then this book should have it.
Star: Hearted into the room. "I'm glad I could find you," Pacey didn't look back to her, he just flipped through the book as if in a hurry, "PACEY!" He now looked up to her.
Pacey: Made a confused face, "Star?"
Star: "I'm glad you remember my name."
Pacey: "Please just tell me you're good."
Star: Laughs, "I'm sane Halliwell don't worry about that, I'm here for another matter."
Pacey: Stopped flipping the book, "What's that?"
Star: "It's come to my attention that you need a little push."
Pacey: "You're talking in riddles and I'm not in my riddle solving clothes."
Star: Rolled her eyes, "All you must know, is that what has come to pass is going to pass again, and that she failed to stop what we all fear, that no matter what they shall return to their rightful places, that the forgotten son will be back in more ways than one."
Pacey: "That's nice, now can you leave me be?"
Star: Shook her head, "Pacey, I'm giving you a warning, decode it, soon and fast for her life depends on it, in more ways than one."
Pacey: "If this is about Parker,"
Star: "No it is not about Parker, but rather, someone else, someone you love deeply and miss as well."
Pacey: "Then if this is about Valentine."
Star: "This is about, something you can't even stop, something she couldn't stop."
Pacey: "And that is?"
Star: "The inevitable,"
Pacey: "Which is?"
Star: "Something only she can stop."
Pacey: "But you just said she failed."
Star: "I said, Valentine failed, not Parker."
Pacey: "Aren't they the same person?"
Star: "Are they?"
Before he could yell at her for confusing him she hearted out.
Pacey: "Wonderful,"
-Next Scene-
Linn was sitting in front of the manor trying her best to forget the way Gabriel had looked when his life was being stolen from him. She felt the hot tears fall from her face just thinking about the fact she'd never see that moronic funny demon again made her realize how dangerous this Roderick really was and she really feared that he would kill them all. Chris looked back to her tear stained face and it enraged him but it made him feel sick to his stomach he couldn't stop himself before he knew what he was doing, he was holding her telling her it'd be okay, that Roderick would pay that Gabriel would get justice despite the fact he didn't know how they were going to get rid of Roderick, he said to at least have faith that they would.
Linn: "Don't lie to me, Perry, you damn well know we're going to fail."
Chris: "No we're not, Lyn."
Linn: Looks back to him and saw that sly smile in his eyes, "Don't start with me now, Perry."
Chris: "You're the one that started it, Perry? You haven't called me Perry since Frankie got a girlfriend that I helped him get, mind you, you were really pissed with me."
Linn: Laughs slightly, "Yea, I kicked your ass."
Chris: Rolling his eyes, "Yea that's what you did."
Linn: Let herself fall into his arms noticing the fact that she could fit so well in them, "So Halliwell tell me, how we going to get justice for Gab, when we're weaker than his killer?"
Chris: Put his chin on her head, smiling as the movement felt natural to him, "You're wrong," She looked up to his face, that looked so thoughtful that it made her heart beat faster, just staring into those sea-green orbs of his, and she would transform into a woman solely in love with him, "We're matched, well Parker is, but we all need to band together and take him surely we will."
Linn: she blinked, and his eyes looked down to hers as she took in what he had just said, he stared into her brown eyes, that sent his heart into a drum beat, god those eyes of hers could make him do anything just a bat of one and he'd fight an army just to have her bat them at him again, "Maybe you're right, but I doubt we're going to be doing anything with him soon."
Chris: "What do you mean?"
Linn: "Parker our little demon killing person is a broken one at this second."
Chris: "More reason she will want to get Roderick to face the wasteland."
Linn: "Yes, but less reason for your parents to let her, she'll be hell bent and emotional you know how you Halliwells get when you get emotional."
Chris: "Yea, we fight ten times better, and with a lot more heart."
Linn: Rolling her eyes at him, "You get reckless."
Chris: He couldn't help but chuckle at the look on her face, "Ah. Let's not argue over this right now, Linn, just zip your mouth and watch the moon with me tonight."
Linn: "As long as you promise not to let go."
Chris: "You couldn't get me to let go even if you begged me, holding you right now, is the only thing keeping me from doing down to the basement and trying to sharpen my skills."
Linn: "Then I guess I'll be your anchor."
Chris: "I'm glad,"
-Next Scene-
Parker had her wallet out she was looking through pictures, and she had just found a picture of her and Gabriel it had been taken back when they were barely dating. God it sent her mind back to the night she had first introduced him to her parents it was one hell of a night.
*Flash*
Parker: Was standing in front of the manor she had on a short sleeve blue shirt with a skirt that came down to her knees, she was looking down at her hand waiting for someone. He was only ten minutes late well he was going to be ten minutes late. She jumped slightly when a shimmer appeared in front of her. But she relaxed when she saw Gabriel's green eyes and he flashed her a smile. "You're late,"
Gabriel: Wiping the dust from his hands, "I had to deal with something."
Parker: Her arms crossed over her chest, "Demons?"
Gabriel: Nodding his head, "Hey, you told me no using that 'D' word until after your parents kill me."
Parker: Takes in some air, "Relax you have backup."
Gabriel: Gets close to her, "Ay so my good buddy Pacey is here to defend me, against Angel, Hank, Wyatt, and Ryan?"
Parker: Smiles slightly at this playfulness that he brings out of her, "I'll even throw in Lex and David those two you already have under your spell."
Gabriel: Played with her hair, "It's not a spell DK it's a potion demons can't make spells."
Parker: Throwing him a grin, "But potions you can?"
Gabriel: Smiles a smile that makes Parker's heart race, "A lot of them."
Parker: She laughs slightly, "Oh Mr. Peirce please tell me more."
Gabriel: Getting closer to her face wanting to kiss her, "We can also do these cool things too, things you witches can't do."
Parker: Inching towards him, "Oh like what?"
Gabriel: He could feel her soft lips on his, "Be utterly irresistible."
Parker: Her words coming out softly, "Oh please Mr. Peirce I can do that way better than you."
Gabriel: His eyes played a dancing game with her as she smiled, "You wanna show me?"
Parker: Putting her hand on his chest, "Oh yea,"
Gabriel: Going to kiss her, "Prove it?"
Parker: Giving him a slightly kiss, "I think I just did."
Gabriel: He entwined his hand with hers, "Yea you did."
They door opened and looking back at them were Ryan, Wyatt, Damian, and Hank all four did not look happy. Parker and Gabriel were looking back at them with smiles on their faces, standing almost two feet away from each other, which was so unlike how that had just been.
Ryan: Looking only at Parker, "Mom says to call you both in."
Parker: She turned back to Gabriel, "Thanks Ry,"
Ryan: He gives Gabriel a dirty brotherly look, "She means now,"
Parker: Giving him a stern look, "I got it,"
Gabriel: Wanting to be nice, he really liked Parker, "We've never met,"
Hank: His arms crossed over his chest, "Oh we met,"
Damian: His eyes show a gleam of trouble, "Yup, Pierce,"
Parker: Not liking their attitudes, "HEY! Do I attack your stupid girlfriends when you four bring them around?" They didn't answer her, but the looks on their faces said enough, "That's what I thought, now either move out of our way, or I will start to break body parts," Her eyes flashed dangerously, "And I won't have to be creative, because I know were you all hurt."
They moved out of the way, and Parker pulled Gabriel into the manor.
*End*
Boy did they both not know what they had gotten into. Or what the night would turn into. Not just a two year relationship but a friendship as well.
-Next Scene-
Hank and Emily were sitting in P3 drinking back bottles of whisky. Hank still found it amazing how she could drink it down straight and still want more. She was his kind of woman.
Emily: Sending him a gloomy face, "What are we going to do now?"
Hank: Trying his best at doing what he well known for, "Well I say we tie up Chris and we tie up Linn right, but the trick is we send in a power switcher, I think Parker and Nix, right, and we make them feel Empath hell!" He did an evil laugh, "You like my plan?"
Emily: Shook her head, god she loved that no matter what was happening he could find something to joke about, that he could find the good in a bad rotten mess, "That's not what I meant."
Hank: He took a gulp from the bottle, "I know, it's just I don't know, you get it? I've never had to deal with a demon that really-really wants to kill us, and that will not stop until we're all dead, or at least until Parker's dead."
Emily: Shaking her head, trying in vain to erase the face from her mind, "God did you see his face?"
Hank: Shaking in his own skin, "Yea, I feel bad for the Demon, poor Gab."
Emily: Looking back at him, "That's the first time you ever called him Gab."
Hank: He takes a drink, "First time for everything," He looks down his eyes closed he looked up to her, "God I put myself in Parker's place, sure she loves Damian and will stop at nothing to protect him but she also loved Gab, and now that he's dead, I think that if you would have been Gab, I would be a wreck."
Emily: She shakes her head, "I'm glad that you weren't Gab, because I would be hell bent on killing Roderick."
Hank: "What are we going to do Emily?"
Emily: She put her head on his shoulder, "I asked you that."
Hank: "We can joke and laugh, and we can pretend to be cupids, and we could…"
Emily: "Sit here and drink."
Hank: "Or that,"
The door opened and they both turned to look back to the woman that walked into it. She had red fiery hair and deep light blue eyes, a smile that could send any man to his knees. She walked up to Hank and Emily. Ignoring Emily altogether.
Girl: "Hey H,"
Hank: His eyes went wide, "Hey Sophia,"
Emily: Looks back at her boyfriend as she saw his eyes light up, she drank from the bottle this time, "Just fantastic,"
-Next Scene-
Emma walked into the attic she was hell bent on getting answers. She had promised herself and David as well that she would, well she didn't promise him per say but she was going to get her answers and the only way to do that was to get them from Max. And if he wouldn't tell her then she'd use her good old Halliwell charm, who cared if she was a whitelighter she wasn't above using torture to get her information. She entered the attic and found that Max was not alone, with him was both Frankie and JJ.
Max: "Hey Prue,"
Emma: Didn't make a smile or give him a nod she only stood there and he nods his head, she only stood there with a stern look in her face.
Max: "Can you guys give us some space?"
JJ: "Okay,"
Frankie and him left the attic.
Max: "Okay, what's up?"
Emma: Walked over to him, she slipped an athame out of her sleeve and held it to his neck, "I'm only going to ask you this once," He nods, "Why did you leave?"
Max: Looking as the athame inched closer, "That's a personal reason,"
Emma: "The hell it is, when it effects my boyfriend it isn't personal."
Max: "So you and David, huh?"
Emma: "This isn't about me and David its about you leaving David, forgetting what a brother is, forgetting that you were a brother."
Max: "I didn't forget, I had things to do, I had…"
Emma: "Don't tell me, Max, I'm not the one that you left behind."
She walked out of the room and Max looks down at something, he looks to the same picture that David had in his room, except Max's is a lot more worn out, it has tear stains and rips, he looks to the smiling David in the picture and closes his eyes.
Max: "I had to protect him."

Pacey: Was looking down to the book he hadn't found anything but a pain in the neck from looking down at it for a long time, "You're a useless book I hope you know."
Bella: "That's mean," He looks up to her and she sent him a smile, "I heard you were up here, I hope you don't mind me coming."
Pacey: Sending her a smile, "Why would I mind?"
Bella: Her hands slid into her back pockets, "I don't know, you seemed interested in destroying that book."
Pacey: Dancing his eyebrows, "Only when it angers me."
Bella: Smirking just a little, "Is that what it's doing right now?"
Pacey: Nods his head, "Oh yea,"
Bella: "Stupid book,"
Pacey: "You bet," She was now standing next to him shoulder to shoulder, "So tell me, Bell why did you come back?"
Bella: "Because I missed my friends and family because I was done with New York."
Pacey: "What did you find there?"
Bella: "That art isn't an easy thing to get paid for," He laughs, "Don't laugh its true do you know how hard it was for me to find a job?"
Pacey: "Don't tell me that I quit my job."
Bella: "Why you loved that job?"
Pacey: "Yea loved past tense, it got in the way."
Bella: "Of what you don't seem to be doing anything or anyone."
Pacey: "I could say the same thing about you."
Bella: "Heard you're still single, that true?"
Pacey: "You don't waste anytime do you?"
Bella: "Well I'm not Linn or B."
Pacey: "That's good because I'm not Chris or Wyatt."
Bella: "So it's true?"
Pacey: "Are you?"
Bella: A playful gleam in her eyes, "No,"
Pacey: The same gleam in his eyes, "Me either,"
Bella: "Oh so my sister and your cousins lied?"
Pacey: "Yup, me and Hazel are happy."
Bella: "You and Hazel?" She started to laugh.
Pacey: "What what's so funny?"
Bella: "The girl never dates."
She starts to go and Pacey watches her go.
Pacey: "Why do you got to play hard to get, when I already want you?"

Hank: "That's great,"
Emily: Got up taking Hank's bottle with her, "Harry, I'll see you back at your place."
Hank: "Right Emily, see you later."
Emily: Rolled her eyes and teleported out.
Sophia: "So you single?"
Hank: Blinked now, and looked to were Emily had been sitting, "She called me Harry didn't she?"
Sophia: Her hand rubbed his chest, "Yea so you single?"
Hank: Steps back, what the hell happened to him he shook his head, oh he was going to get killed by Emily, "Sophia, I'm taken, I'm in love with the girl that just left and if I don't get her back, she's going to dump me."
Sophia: "Why don't you stay with me?"
Hank: "You had your chance, you left me, I was always here for you, and hell I waited, I really waited," He shook his head, "But your time to get me is over, I'm in love now, I love Emily," he looked back to himself, "I love Emily," Whoa that came out of nowhere.
Sophia: "How can you love a woman that didn't even know your name?"
Hank: "I'm asking myself how could I have waited so long to forget about you? You're not worth it."
Sophia: "Whatever moron, you're just a piece of ass anyways."
She walked out of the bar.
Hank: "Gotta find Em, and say I'm sorry, fuck why am I so stupid sometimes?" He smacked himself on the head, "Oh right, because I'm a man."

-Next Scene-
Wyatt and Bianca were sitting in the living room watching the TV. They weren't thinking about anything but just blindly watching whatever what was on. But if someone were to walk up to them and just ask them what that was on TV they both wouldn't be able to answer them. Wyatt's eyes left the screen and faced Bianca's, she turned to look back at him and he turned away from her quickly, she did the same.
Wyatt: Looks down to his hands, "You cold?"
Bianca: "Kinda,"
Wyatt: "Uhm,"
Bianca: "What?"
Wyatt: "I'd offer you something, but,"
Bianca: "Chris took all the covers,"
Wyatt: "You could have my sweater,"
Bianca: "I couldn't, then you'd be cold,"
Wyatt: "I'm hot right now,"
Bianca: "Well if you say so,"
Wyatt: Orbed and sat next to her, took off his sweater, his chest showing, she saw the tattoo on his heart, "Here you go."
Bianca: "When did you get that?"
Wyatt: Looked to where her hand pointed at his shirt, "This shirt?"
Bianca: Shook her head he was really a moron sometimes, "No, the tattoo,"
Wyatt: "A while ago, in the army."
Bianca: "It's nice,"
Wyatt: He looks away from her, "Thank you," She does the same.
Bianca: Turning back to him, "Wyatt,"
Wyatt: Looking at her face, "Yes?"
Bianca: Shaking her head, "Nothing,"
Wyatt: Not knowing what he was saying, "How about we call a truce?"
Bianca: She looks back to him, "What kind of truce?"
Wyatt: He looks down to his hands, "Just let me hold you, I need to feel."
Bianca: Wanting the same thing, "Like you're not alone?"
Wyatt: Nods his head and looks into her light blue eyes, "Yea,"
Bianca fell into his open arms and he rested his chin on her shoulder, he took a smell of her hair and it sent his heart a blaze, she closed her eyes and just tried to remember how his arms felt as they were around her.
-Next Scene-
Parker was walking she had just left the Underworld Bar, and right now she just needed to clear her mind. The memory of Gabriel had sent her into confusion world. Why was she thinking about the past when what she needed was to forget all about the past? Then again there was Roderick the man lived for the past, he was killing her friends and trying to destroy her family because of said past. It made no sense, she could trust Max, there was no reason not to, but it just didn't seem right, she hadn't fought a Seer ever, it made no sense to her to have fought Roderick's dad and won. She wasn't powerful she wasn't Wyatt or Mel, she was Ryan's little sister, Silver's twin, she was the heart attack waiting to happen child. The one that demons loved to get and torture because she's the weak Halliwell. He had to be mistaken she wasn't a powerful being and that wouldn't change no matter how much he may have wanted it to.
Parker: "What does it matter anyhow, I'm going to die fighting him anyways?" She shook her head, she could say for the first time in her life, she didn't know what emotion she was feeling.
*Memory*
Piper blew up a demon, while Prue sent another flying out of the room, Phoebe used her empathy to send one crashing down to the floor, while Paige stabbed it in the chest. Eva threw a potion and Billie sent fire blast at anything that was in her way. All the while their kids and husbands were looking back at Parker and Gabriel.
Soon the Halliwells and their guest found themselves freed of the demons. Phoebe turned to look back at her daughter.
Phoebe: "Care to explain?"
Gabriel: "I'm a witch?"
Parker: Shook her head she was tried of lying, "Mom, Gabriel is a demon."
Coop: "You're dating a demon?"
Ryan: "See why I said he was trash?"
Pacey: Trying to help Gabriel, "He warned us,"
Wyatt: "He brought demons into our home."
Gabriel: "I'll just go,"
Parker: Grabbed his hand, "No, everyone is going to listen to me, for a change," She looked back to them all, "He's different, he's not evil, he saved our asses in the Underworld, yes mom us younger kids like to go to the Underworld too, but that's not the point, the point is, he saves our asses, because if he hadn't spoken up…"
Lex: "We'd have been demon food."
Phoebe: "Paige,"
Parker: "Let me finish mom, we trust Damian."
Damian: "I was raised as a good mortal."
Parker: "So what? For all you know so was Gab."
Ryan: "Was he?"
Gabriel: "Huh,"
Parker: "No but that's not the point, the point is, I trust him, because he told me from the beginning that he was a demon he didn't start with no I'm a witch, and yes I know we should have told you, but, you just reacted the same way I knew you would." She saw that this conversation wasn't even over, "Look, get to know him, if you don't like him then I'll lie and I'll say me and him broke up, and I'll never bring him to anything this family goes to, but if you all trust me and love me, you'll take a second to see what I have," She looks over to Gabriel, "He's on our side."
Coop: Hid the smile from his face, she really was just like Valentine when she wanted to be, because god he knew that was something she would have said, "No more lies?"
Parker: "No more lies,"
Piper: "What are your powers?"
Gabriel: "I can shimmer, I have energy balls, fire balls, and that's pretty much it, I own a bar, I'm a pretty high regarded lower level demon. In fact so high that some upper levels love me," He smiles slightly, "I had a brother he was vanquished."
Prue: "By who?"
Gabriel: "Me,"
Eva: "Why did you do that?"
Gabriel: "He wanted to hurt a mortal, see I was raised to hate mortals, but I learned to love, it was back in this one year period that us demons are put through, they send you up to earth, and they make you live on your own, and well I met this wonderful person and she thought I was homeless, and she took me in, raised me like her own son, trusted me like her own son, she uh showed me, what none of my family ever did, she taught me, what the word family meant," He blinked away tears, "Well my year was almost up, but I wanted to stay, I wanted to forget about magic and I was determined to do everything to do just that. I went to a magic shop, bought myself a binding potion improved it and I was going to use it, in fact I did I bound my powers and days passed nothing, weeks turned into months, it was another year, and that's when my brother showed up. I had forgotten about magic I erased that part of my life, only to have him throw it back in my face, he shimmered in, and he attacked, and I tried my best to stop him but without my powers I was well mortal I was wounded but he didn't want me to die, he wanted me to suffer, so we waited for her to come back, and when she did, he killed her in front of me, I can't explain it, but my powers returned, and I vanquished him, after that day I made damn sure, that if I was going to use my powers, that I would do everything in my power to stop other demons from hurting people from hurting anything." He nods to himself, "That's why when I saw Parker going up to Hector."
Nix: "You had to act?"
Gabriel: "She reminded me of the mortal that helped me," He shares a look with Parker, "And I wasn't going to let anything happen to her, like I had let happen to the mortal."
Sister: "Wow,"
Gabriel: "Did I pass?"
That sent all the kids into a laughing fit.
Parker: "Yea I think you did."
*End*
-Next Scene-
Hazel rolled her eyes at how stupid her powers were they were utterly getting on her last nerve. She was now watching her future self as she had gone through the things she had learned about the Underworld and Ryan's plans. Point blank he had none. Though Silver wasn't buying it, even though future Hazel wasn't lying.
Silver: Her had aged to look like an older Phoebe, the only difference with her and her mother was the big scars on her face, and the anger in her light blue eyes, there was no longer anything cupid about her persona, she changed so much, just but the way she talked you wouldn't be able to think about the fact she was the goddess of love, she rather looked like hate in disguise, "Hazel come on, nothing, you have to be kidding me, he's up to something, this is Ryan we're talking about!"
Future Hazel: Nods to her head, "Silver I'm just telling you everything I know, Ryan has nothing in the works, and the only reason is because, he doesn't know where we are, and because of that…"
Riley: "He can't make any plans."
Future Hazel: "Exactly, so, can I go now? I haven't seen my kids in weeks, and I need to have a talk with my Penny."
Silver: "Fine, you can go,"
Future Hazel: turns to look back at Riley, "Teleport me, my dear hottie."
Riley: Smiles, his mood had gone straight to the roof, "Sure my love I'll take you anywhere."
They shimmered out.
Pacey: Took in some air, "Thank god she's back, I wouldn't be able to handle him any longer with that sour look on his face."
Future Hazel walked over to Alexis's bed, her daughter was awake but she had her eyes closed. She had chosen to come see her first because she knew her son would already know that she was back. Thanks to the fact he had inherited her power to see the future.
Alexis: "Moans,"
Future Hazel: Smiling it warmed her heart to see her oldest daughter, "You can pretend that you're asleep but momma knows you're awake."
Alexis: Jumped up, she looked back to her mother shock and fear in her eyes, "Mom?"
Future Hazel: Sat down next to her oldest child, and pulled her into a hug, "Hey, Pens, you look wonderful."
Alexis: Tears in her eyes, "Mommy, you're really here?"
Future Hazel: "Yes, Pens, I'm really here."
Alexis: "I'm so sorry."
Future Hazel: Pulls away from her daughter, "For what?"
Alexis: "For getting kidnapped, and you having to take my place, I failed as a Halliwell."
Future Hazel: "Alexis Penny Valentine Halliwell, have you lost your mind? You could never fail as a Halliwell and I won't have you saying it! You're my daughter and you're good, and you could never fail as that, or as a Halliwell."
Alexis: "But I broke the only rule we have."
Future Hazel: "Okay, Pens, tell me what the rule is, and how you broke it?"
Alexis: "Never let your family get hurt, and you took my place and you got hurt." She pointed to the bandages on Hazel's wrist.
Future Hazel: "Yes that is a rule, but you're wrong, there is another rule one that by passes all rules," Alexis throws her a look that made her look just like Riley, "Never stop loving your family, and trust me, Pen, I know you and you've always loved me and your father sure you hate Alan from time to time."
Alexis: "That's because Coop, gets on my nerves."
Future Hazel: Shakes her head, her kids were a lot like her and her twin brother, fought when they were kids but always stood by each other's side, "Leave Alan alone, he's just a kid."
Coop: Ran into the room with Riley right next to him, "Mommy!" He jumped on top of Hazel, "You're okay,"
Future Hazel: Smiles and runs her hand through her son's hair, "Yes, Alan I'm fine, are you fine?"
Coop: "Yes mommy,"
Future Hazel: "I'm glad,"
Riley: Sat on the other side of Alexis, "Look at us, we're one big happy family again."
Alexis: "Dad you're such a tool."
Riley: Hugs her, "I love you too, Ace."
They all laugh and hug, smiling they couldn't be happier right now.
-Next Scene-
Emily was sitting in front of P3 on her car. Wondering how much longer Hank was going to flirt with his Ex, oh she was going to kill someone if he didn't come out soon. And with her luck there he was a goofy grin on his face. The same goofy grin she had fallen for a long time ago but no not this night it wasn't going to work its charm on her. No he'd be in the doghouse for a long time.
Hank: "Hey Em,"
Emily: "Don't you hey Em me you jerk," Is what she wanted to say, but what she really said was, "Hey, Harry," It would hurt more.
Hank: Gulped, she was still pissed, "I deserve that,"
Emily: Jumping off his car, "You deserve worse, I was even thinking about cutting your tries, and ripping other things."
Hank: "I'm glad you didn't."
Emily: Sent him a glare that could kill. "You done flirting already?"
Hank: "Emily,"
Emily: "What? Don't try and make this my fault."
Hank: "It's not, I fucked up, I know that."
Emily: "I hate when you know you did wrong."
Hank: "Believe me I was raised to not do what I just did, and for that I'm freaking sorry."
Emily: "Too late,"
Hank: "You're breaking up with me?"
Emily: Looks away, "You would rather be with her anyways."
Hank: Slightly chuckles, "You women and your craziness, I don't wanna be with her, she means nothing."
Emily: "Whatever,"
Hank: "Look what me and Sophia had, it was nothing, you mean a lot more to me than she ever will."
Emily: Looks back to him the pain leaving her eyes, "So you're not going to leave me for that blonde bimbo?"
Hank: "Never,"
Emily: Hugs him back, "Good, because Henry I would have to kill you if you ever thought of leaving me."
Hank: "Emily I love you, to much too leave you, and I'm not just saying I love you to shut you up, her coming to visit it brought to light my stupidity, I don't even know why I haven't said it, because believe me, Emily, I love you."
Emily: Smiles and kissed him, "Good because I really, really love you."
They kissed again.
-Next Scene-
Parker: Was now standing in front of all her cousins and their friends. "I'm sorry I left but I needed time to think by myself."
Pacey: "We understand,"
Parker: "Good, because I've come to the conclusion, that we're not ready." They all gave each other looks, "What I mean to say is that, Gab's death showed me, that we're not strong enough yet, and maybe what Max said will make us strong enough, but I want to be prepared. I want to make sure that the next time we face, Roderick," She gave them all a stern look, "It'll be our LAST, that he will die this time."
Mel: "We're all ears Parker you have a plan?"
Parker: "Not yet but I will, at this second I think it'd be appropriate if we did something for Gab."
Wyatt: Nods his head, "What do you have in mind Park?"
*Memory*
Parker had changed her family's mind about Gabriel she just knew it. He had opened up and told them things that no human would ever; she could tell that he felt a lot better. And it also put her parents, Aunts, and Uncle's at ease just because they knew even though he was full demon he could almost be considered human. Parker and Gabriel were sitting on a sofa in the manor they were in the living room, and they were alone how they both had gotten that lucky they didn't know and at that second they didn't care.
Parker: Played with his hair, "I'm glad today worked out the way it did."
Gabriel: "Me too, hell," looked back to Parker, "I had a great time Halliwell, you're the only person I know that knows how to party like me."
Parker: Slightly looks away, "Thanks,"
Gabriel: "You think we convinced them?"
Parker: Nods her head, "Oh yea, they love you, well they don't love you, but I say you're pretty much improved your status from enemy to an okay guy and believe me you jumped up," He laughs, "So what are you going to do now?"
Gabriel: "Wait till you call me," He looks down to his hands, "Hopefully I can see you again, I mean now that I'm a okay guy."
Parker: She smiles, "I'm pretty sure you will okay guy."
Gabriel: "Would it be to much to ask for a goodbye—," She gave him a slight kiss, his eyes were still closed when it ended, "Kiss,"
Parker: Standing up as he did, "See you around?"
Gabriel: Nodding his head, "Oh yea,"
Parker: "Bye,"
Gabriel: Sweetness in his eyes, "Bye,"
He shimmered out.
*End*
Parker: Lifts her glass, "To Gabriel, the friend we'll all miss."
Everyone: Lifting their glasses as well, "To Gabriel,"
They all drank back all feeling just a little better. Roderick thought that by killing their friend they'd all push away they'd all hate everyone in their group oh boy was he wrong, by killing Gabriel he had just made them much, much closer.
The End
