Hey! Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I am starting something called the NDA (National Dork Association) and I am asking for names of people who would care to join. I will put the names on my profile. If you're interested, send it to me in a private message, or leave it in a review. Thank you. Oh, by the way, I got a 100 on my English Final!!! I had to write an essay. And they say fan fiction doesn't help with school.

Chapter 3 After Dinner

Leo orbed into the manor, only to find the girls and Chris in the living room. Chris and Riley were sitting together, as usual. This time Riley was leaning against Chris, with his arms around her, and they were holding hands. Not in a boyfriend/girlfriend way, but as friends. Piper and her sisters were sitting in the couch across from them, laughing at the stories they were telling. Leo walked into the room, and took a seat next to Piper.

"What's going on?" he asked and they all looked at him.

"Riley and Chris are competing about who was the worst child growing up. Riley thinks it was Chris, and Chris thinks it was her." Piper told him.

"At least I didn't stick enchanted play dough up someone's nose." Chris said smugly, and Riley had the good grace to blush.

"Well, I wouldn't have done it if you hadn't orbed my Barbie doll onto the roof." Riley shot back.

"You put make up in G.I Joe." Chris cried. Riley laughed.

"He looked pretty though." She said with a grin. The sisters laughed, and even Leo had to break a grin. A knock at the door caught their attention. Piper went to answer it, everyone else trailing not far behind.

"Daryl." Piper said as she let him in.

"Look, I hate to bother you guys, but there was a murder tonight, and I think it was demonic." He said grimly.

"We'll check it out. Were was it?" Paige asked and the answer made Riley go pale and take off out the door. She was running, and his words played through her mind. 1759 Johnson Street. An object going straight through the heart killed Mrs. Frank Adams. It looked like claws went straight through her. Riley's thoughts were flying a mile a minute. That was her mother! But if her mother was dead, how was she still here? She got to the house, and stopped, trying to catch her breath. She noticed the crowd around, and her father was on the porch, his head on his knees. She wanted to go comfort him, but knew she couldn't, or else she'd have to explain who she was. She felt tears flood eyes, and wondered again why she hadn't disappeared.

"FRANK!" she heard. Everyone turned around and when Riley did she fainted. Chris and the others had just got there, and Chris caught her. They decided they better get her home now.

Manor

Riley woke up on the couch a few minutes later, with the others hovering around.

"You're ok." Chris exclaimed and Riley remembered what she had seen.

"Oh my god." She whispered to herself. The others exchanged glances.

"What happened Riley?" Piper asked.

"That address was my mom and dad's house. That was my mother." She said, her mind a fog.

"Then how are you still here?" Chris asked. Riley took a deep breath.

"I was lied to. I was always told my mom was an only child." Riley said.

"So?" Paige asked.

"Right before I fainted, I saw a woman with red hair, and chubbier than my mom, call out my dad's name. The only thing was other than the hair and weight, she was an exact replica of my mother." Riley said.

"Wait, her twin maybe?" Phoebe asked. Riley nodded.

"Mom and Dad have always protected Parker from everything. So it makes sense that if something happened to mom…er, Parker's mom I guess, then if she had a twin, she'd come take her place so that Parker didn't notice. So I guess since I was born later, that the woman I saw is my mother." Riley said.

"Unless this didn't happen before." Leo said. Riley forgot her hatred of Leo for a moment.

"Well, it was a clawed demon that got Parker. So I think this did happen, and her twin took her place. That would explain a lot." Riley said.

"Like what?" Phoebe asked.

"The fact that my mom and dad never said I love you to each other. And why she could barely stand me when Parker died. He was all she had left when her sister died. Wow, this feels weird." Riley said.

"I'm getting a headache just thinking about it." Chris said.

"Me too. I need some sleep." Riley said.

"You can come to the club with me." He said as they said bye to the sisters and Leo and orbed out.

P3 Storage Room

They orbed in and Riley smiled.

"It looks just as it always did when we would hide here." She said. Chris nodded.

"Yeah it does. That's why I spend so much time here. It's less painful than the manor." Chris and Riley settled on the couch, just as they used to do, or rather, would do in the future. Riley had her head on Chris's shoulder, her legs over his.

"How are you holding up?" he asked her softly.

"Fine. I just keep replaying mom's death in my head." She said.

Flashback

Thirteen-year-old Riley walked into the house, her senses telling her to stay on alert. She heard a crash in the living room and ran in there. Her mom was fighting someone in a black cloak, and losing. Riley was about to help her mom when a blue shield enclosed her, making her unable to help.

"Mom! MOM!" she screamed as the shield started shocking her. She fell to her knees, as her mother looked her way. She didn't see fear for her safety on her mother's face, but anger, and maybe shock. Her mother yelled out at her.

"Why'd you come here? Are you that stupid?" And then the cloaked man stuck his athame into her, and she fell to her knees, no longer fighting. The man, and the shield then disappeared. Riley ran to her mother's side.

"Leo! Please! I need you, my mom needs you!" She called out, as he was the only one who could heal her mom. But Leo never came. Riley's mom looked at her with glazed eyes.

"Parker." And then she was quiet.

End Flashback

"Maybe her death was my fault." Riley said and Chris shook his head.

"No, it wasn't you Riles, and you know it. You were just a kid." He told her.

"My greatest fear Chris is that I'm going to have to watch everyone I love die. And I've already seen four of those people die. Parker, Mom, Dad, and Piper." She said softly.

"That'll never happen." Chris said softly.

In The Shadows

So, that's her fear. I'll just have to make her fear come true. The person invisible in the shadows shimmered out, preparing his plans.
