Chapter 22:
-P.S The next chapter is in Jess's POV unless I say otherwise. It is still in the Underworld.
It felt like hours that I was alone before the man who called himself my father came to see me again. I could barely keep my eyes open, but I knew I wouldn't be able to keep them close for fear…of my life. I'd heard horror stories from other foster children I'd talked to…the very few I'd talked to. I'd been through horror stories myself, many a time. Too many a time.
They were like me…abused, alone, and unwanted in this world. The only glimmer of hope I saw of getting out of this mess was that my mom and my sisters would be able to do something about it. I thanked my lucky stars (now that I actually have lucky stars) that they were the Charmed Ones. If I knew my mother like I thought I did, I knew she would be furious at my father for taking me. It would only be a matter of time until I heard a big boom and my mother's wrath.
Sitting in the dark, I felt calm. It was very strange, being back in this situation. There had been many times when I had been locked in a dark closet and forgotten about for a week even. This just reminded me of the dark closets. Unlike the usual foster child who went through that sort of trauma, I didn't really mind. Sometimes being in the dark closet was safer than being out in the house.
All of a sudden, I heard a sharp scream that made all the hairs on the back of my neck stand up straight. Then I heard voices.
"COLE TURNER! SOURCE OF ALL EVIL!! YOU BRING MY DAUGHTER BACK NOW OR THERE'LL BE HELL TO PAY!!" I heard my mother scream. I smiled in spite of my fear.
"Your daughter? Last time I checked she was my daughter too. I have as much custody over her then you do." I heard Cole retort calmly.
"Don't you dare call her your daughter. You don't care about her! All you want is her powers!" I heard my mother reply in a low but powerfully dangerous voice.
"And you care about her?" Cole said
That's when my mother snapped. I knew she was at the end of her rope. I heard a lot of noise then…they were obviously fighting. And by the sound of my mom and aunt's voices, they were kicking butt.
"Hey sweetie." I heard a voice say. I looked up to see my mother. I almost started crying with joy. Then I got very confused, because I'd just heard her voice and heard her and my aunts fighting.
"Sh…don't say anything. I'm going to get you out of here, I promise." She said, looking into my eyes determinedly. "I'll explain everything when we get home.
All of a sudden, a demon shimmered in. Seeing my mom, he glared. My mom then did something funny. She grabbed me and we astral projected out of the Underworld just in time as the demon threw a fireball. It disappeared right where my mom was. Then, quick as a flash, we reappeared in the attic. Where yet another one of my mom was waiting there.
"Wait…what…how?" were my last few words before I passed out unconscious.
I woke up to hear a name calling me. "Jessie…sweetie…time to get up!" I heard my mom calling. I blinked my eyes open. Then I got confused.
"Wait, mom…what happened to the demons?" I asked. "Did you kill dad?"
My mom looked very confused. "What demons, Jessie? Are you feeling alright? There's no such thing as demons."
