2x03: Power of Who?
Parker opened her eyes and found herself under a lot of debris, she tried to sit up but a massive amount of pain knocked her back down. She tried to scream but no sound came from her mouth.
Phoebe: "PARKER!"
Coop: She could hear the distress in her father's voice, "I can sense her but I can't see her, god damn it, why the hell do they always have to do shit that is this stupid?"
Piper: "Because they're children, I hope you know this is the last time I let Leo tell me how to handle those kids. Do you see why it's better when I'm over protective!"
Paige: "Piper, things like this are going to happen. It always did when we were in their shoes. But then again we didn't have anyone to get worried for us like they do."
Prue: "Which is why they are so grounded. How in the world did Pacey and Parker even come up with that amount of power?"
Piper: "Same way they came up with the stupid idea to let all their powers out at each other. What have I told them? Never send your powers at your cousins, bad things tend to happen. It shows you how they don't ever listen to a word I say."
Paige: "Piper, calm down before you blow something up…" She stopped talking as a scream came from below them, "God damn it, I told Henry to be easy with that boy, he ain't got much sense, and ripping arrows out of him is going to make him think he's freaking superman."
Billie: "No Paige you have that confused with my son, I'm going to kill David. He knows better than to let himself get hit by those arrows, I can't count the number of times Julian had to heal him and Max because they had gone down to the underworld with Nix and Emma to go play with Darklighters, as they called it."
Paige: "Don't remind me of my youngest daughter as a teenager I don't know how we survived it, I'm just glad we did."
The Halliwell sisters all did a full body shake, Nix as a teenager was something no one wanted to relive, back then she was worse that Parker, oddly it was a miracle that Parker had been the angel in the group, but how the tables have turned.
Lyn: "Billie as much as I would enjoy you murdering one of them, don't, David was only trying to protect Jay."
Eva: "Which he shouldn't have had to have done, I'm never listening to Leo either."
Her and Piper were really alike.
Valentine: "They've gotten crazier in their old age?"
Parker: Trying to breathe, "So they tell me."
Valentine: "If you'd let me take over, you wouldn't be in pain."
Parker: Grasping for air, "You'd like that huh, if I let you take over, you'd never give me back my body."
Valentine: "It was mine first."
Parker: "Sorry, Valentine, this was never your body, your body is in whatever washed up hell you left it in."
Valentine: "Now I see why people call you difficult."
Parker: "I'm a carbon copy of you so what the hell does that make you?"
Valentine: "Unlucky."
Parker: Chuckles, "I guess we know each other too well to trust huh?"
Valentine: "I would never trust a word that leaves my lips, I damn well know, I am always lying."
Parker: Her eyes going in and out of focus, "That's another thing they tell me."
Valentine: A hint of worry in her voice, "Paige."
Parker: Coughs, hears her mother's voice getting closer, "It's hard isn't it, when someone has your same exact name, and they are almost like you, but there not, not really anyway. We can argue and play blame games, but you and me, we're not that much alike. You're fire and I'm Ice, you could send me away with some words, but I'm stronger than you know. Sure I never lost my mother at twelve, sure I didn't grow up with hate everywhere around me, didn't grow up to be a kick ass witch, but if you and me fought it out for this body, I'm pretty sure I'd win. Not because I'm stronger than you, we both know that is a lie; my heart is a lot weaker than yours, not to mention other imperfect things that I got. Hell I'd win, because I'd kill anyone that tries to come between me and my family, I respect you, Valentine, because you are a lot wiser than I could ever hope to be, but shit, so am I, but you don't see that, no one does. I pretend to be a careless moron, yet I fight every day for my family, I'm in the shadows while others fear Wyatt and Mel because they're equally strong, they never see me coming, I'm not as powerful as them, but I am a hell of a lot smarter than they are."
Valentine: "Is that so, Paige? I think you aren't smart at all who aims for her cousin? Who throws a bolt at family?"
Parker: "I did, because it was the only shot we had, we both know, more were on their way. Why not cut them off before they could arrive? If we show them that amount of power then hell they'll think twice about coming now won't they?" She didn't expect an answer from Valentine, she knew that the witch was thinking about the logic in Parker's words and how there was nothing wrong with it.
Phoebe: "Parker?"
Parker: Looked up and found her mom looking down at her, she was pulling things off her, opened her eyes slowly, "Mommy?"
Phoebe: Pulling off a huge piece of wood off of Parker's knee and torso allowing her to gain more air, "Come on, stay with me, Paige."
Parker: Eyes were in and out of focus, "Mommy?"
Eva: Went to look at Parker, "Shit, we need to get her healed now!"
Coop: "Come on, Park stay with me, you're going to be fine."
A couple minutes later Parker could hear voices talking, she felt someone squeeze her hand tight and whisper an apology in her ear.
Pacey: "I'm so sorry, Park, you have to wake up, damn this was all my fault."
Parker: Opened her eyes a little, she could see the worry in his light blue eyes, "Damn Fatty, you've gotten fatter in your old age."
Pacey: Smiles he had tears of joy in his eyes, "Parker, you had me scared to death, you know that."
Parker: "I'm sorry, that tends to happen when morons get the footing wrong."
Pacey: "Yea, I'm to blame,"
Parker: Opened her eyes fully, "Pacey, your eyes are leaking, what's wrong?"
Silver: Shaking her head at her sister's small joke, "He's happy to see you are alive, Paige."
Parker: "It's nice to be alive, but why are you crying?"
Silver: Wiping away her tears, "I may not tell you this often, but I love you, Parker."
Parker: She turned around the room and saw everyone was looking at her, "Dear god, she's getting mushy, I love you too, even though you annoy the holy hell out of me." She sat up with a little bit of difficulty, her knee was oddly killing her but she didn't know the reason yet, "So how long have I been out?"
Mel: "Two to four hours, who counts anymore with you, Park?"
Parker: Laughs, "I guess you don't, jailbait."
Mel: "Parker, that isn't funny. My mom is still threatening to ground me."
Parker: "I told you it was risky, but no you wanted to follow that lead."
Wyatt: turned to his sister, "Mel, why are they making jail jokes?"
Piper: "Because your sister got arrested for breaking and entering, with of course your baby cousin who has a damn death wish."
Parker: "The charges were dropped."
Henry: Shaking his head, "Leave it to Paige to be okay with going to jail."
Parker: She got a goofy smile on her face, "What? Isn't like it was my first time going there."
Jay: "What did you do ,Park?"
Parker: "Me and the other irresponsible children, sort of egged some guys house for kicks."
David: Shook his head, "You mean the principle of our high school,"
Hazel: "And we did more than egg his house," She did a full body shake, they had done a lot worse, just because Parker hadn't been all about going into the underworld back then didn't mean she had been a complete saint.
Frankie: A grin forming on his lips, "You egged Tanner's house?"
Parker: "Hell yeah, he thought that just because I'm not into my education that I wasn't learning anything, joke was on him, I learned that if you buy ten packs of eggs and combine them with Pipe's ten day old food, that me and Fatty collected, that it leads to a pretty nasty ass prank."
Jay: "No wonder they call you prankster."
Parker: "Nah that's not even close to being the reason." Suddenly her empathy kicked her in the gut and she stopped smiling as she felt someone's emotions, they were filled with pain and guilt, she looked around the room for her older brother but didn't find Riley anywhere. "Hey, where's newbie?"
Pacey: Turned to the window, "Outside, rethinking his being."
Parker: "Why?"
Eva: "How's your knee?"
Parker looked down at her knee and saw that it was wrapped up, and she groaned in frustration. Injured was something she hated being.
-Next Scene-
Riley leaned on the stair post in front of the manor; in his fingertips was a gold ring with a bright blue stone inside it. The ring was on a silver necklace that he normally had around his neck. Coop had given it to him when he had been a lot younger, hell it wasn't just to help Riley get over the fact he was half demon but rather to show how much Coop loved him. He looked up to the sunny sky. Was this it? Could he either have the sun or his father and mother's love? Was it that simple or far more complex? Here he was in the changed present, the saved present. The thing he saw his oldest little sister get literally killed for and some of him couldn't help but hate being here. His parents had no idea who the hell he was, his older brother didn't like him and he wasn't allowed to even say he was madly in love with Hazel because that would ruin everything. He took in some air and turned as he heard footsteps get closer to him.
Coop: "Hi, Cole." He had no idea how much it hurt Riley when he called him that.
Riley: Slipped the ring into his pocket before his dad could see it, "Hi sir, is she awake?"
Coop: Stepping closer to the younger man, "Yea, I told you she would be, she bounces back, she's not going to like not being able to move for a little while but she'll be alright."
Riley: "Glad to hear that, sir."
Coop: It hurt him a lot to think that he lost the chance to raise him, to show him the amount of love he had for the boy, he saw though that he looked a lot like Phoebe, he had her Halliwell traits but his eyes were light blue, oddly though not like Cole's but rather like his own, "Cole, don't call me that, I told you call me Coop."
Riley: "It's disrespectful for me to do so."
Coop: "Then what would you rather call me?"
Riley: He looked away, "Dad."
Coop: Not having heard him, but felt all his pain, he mistook it for thinking he had hurt Parker, "Hey, Cole, don't worry about Parker she's always crashing into things, this one time she flew out of the window. Landed on the car, it scared the crap out of your mother and me, but seconds later she jumped right up and was fine."
Riley: "Si…" biting on his lip, "Coop, if I call you that, then please call me Riley, I don't really like Cole much I only use it out of respect for Cole,"
Coop: "Don't you mean your father?"
Riley: Lying, he didn't want Coop to think that he was anything like Cole, for he was like Coop, he had shown him a lot more love than Cole could ever, "Cole was a lot of things, but he wasn't a great dad, he just knew how to help me with my powers, but he didn't get too close, guess he knew I'd leave someday."
Coop: "What happened to him?"
Riley: Telling him the truth, "I don't know, when I was ten, he just disappeared, and I never saw him again."
Coop: "You were all alone in that other reality at the age of ten?"
Riley: "Yea," He turned his head when he felt an evil presence in the air, "Coop, maybe we should go inside."
Coop: "Why?" Not sensing anything.
Riley: Eyes wide when a monster appeared from thin air it had been really close to Riley and its claws cut his chest, but Riley recovered and stood in front of Coop, the animal threw his claw at them but Riley pushed his dad out of the way, and they both collided with the door. "Sorry about that," He looked up at the animal as it snarled at him, he could sense his evilness and power, it scared him a little, because its power was just like the source's and his fowl breath didn't help matters, "Man you need to learn what a tooth brush is."
Wyatt: Running into the hallway, "Shit, Cole, you have one huge death wish."
Hazel: "Riley, watch out."
Riley: Shimmered him and Coop out of the way of another claw attack. He reformed in the living room, only to find the animal had followed him. "Fuck," He formed a fireball, "Come on, Cujo, you show me what you got."
The animal bared his teeth that looked huge enough to eat Riley whole.
Parker: "Today is not your day huh?"
Riley: "You have no idea."
A Voice: "Enough Monstrum!" The animal bowed down and everyone turned to face a hooded figure. "Cole, I've come for my Queen's answer to her question."
Riley: "Question? What Question who are you?"
Hooded Figure: "Really I wasn't that memorable? Well I guess not, you have been put through hell before, by your br…,"
Riley: Knew who he was when he heard his voice better, and that cocky remark about King Ryan also helped, "What the hell do you want?"
Chris: "And remember you are in our home."
Piper: "Chris, let me do the threatening you aren't ready for it yet honey."
Wyatt: "Mom our bad guy let us handle it."
Eva: "No offense, Wyatt, but you guys failed to handle the other demon what's to say you can handle this one?"
Damian: "Offense taken!"
Hooded Figure: "Will you or won't you join her?"
Riley: "For the last time, n…"
Ryan and Grace walked into the room from the kitchen.
Hooded Figure: "Before you answer, think about your life, here you will always be looked down at because your father is the Source of all evil. But with her you will be embraced, you won't ever have to hide half of who you are."
Riley: "Yea that might be true, Cole was the Source of evil after all, so his mark I have it on me, the powerful magic that runs in your Queen's veins runs in mine, but I'm not a demon, I'm a witch and I will never betray this side for some peace of mind."
Hooded Figure: "So much potential, so much promise, I could make you become the King of evil, which is your rightful place,"
Riley: "I told your Queen, I'm nothing like my father, I'm not Cole, my name is Riley Halliwell, not Turner."
Hooded Figure: "But you introduce yourself as much."
Riley: "Yea, out of respect for the man, he raised me showed me everything I know, I cared about him, but I didn't love him. He cared about me," He looked down, "But he didn't love me."
Hooded Figure: "Another demon looking for love pathetic," He shook his head, "So your answer is what? Are you in or out?"
Riley: Looked into the animal's eyes, they screamed for his blood and a smirk fell on his face, "No I'm out, tell your Queen, that this Ex Source's son has turned over a new leaf, and found himself."
Hooded Figure: "Rip him to shreds."
He shimmered out, the animal snarled at Riley.
Riley: "You might want to leave right now and sorry for the mess that is going to happen."
Pacey: "We're not going anywhere and no mess, Aunt Piper will ground your ass she's got OCD."
Parker: "Someone help me up so I can help kick his ass."
Riley: "Aren't you broken?"
Nix: "That doesn't exactly stop her from doing bad things."
Prue: "Okay maybe if we all back away he won't attack."
Riley: "He won't attack you he wants my blood, I told her I'm not joining her and she sends her pet dog after me."
Ryan: "Why would you go and do something stupid like that?"
Riley: With some bitterness, "I'm not evil, despite what you must think, yes it's in my blood, but I have Halliwell blood in my veins too."
Ryan: "I didn't mean because you're evil I meant."
Riley: "I know what you meant." He had taken his eyes off the animal so it had taken its chance and jumped at him, but suddenly in ran Vanquish in all his badass fury, he jumped up and barked the loudest bark they had ever heard leave his mouth. The dog had been lazy as hell, never moved off Pacey's bed, now seeing him here standing in the way of a monster was kinda badass. "Why is there a bull dog in front of me?"
Pacey: Proud, "That's Vanquish, that's my dog." Vanquish growled at the monster that slightly shook in fear. "He's pretty bad ass."
Parker: "He's a lazy ass that's what he is, you need to stop feeding him, he looks like a plump fucking pig."
Pacey: "Hey he happens to be the only thing standing between Riley and his demise."
Riley: "Thank you for reminding me, that the only thing stopping me from death is a fat ass bull dog."
Nix: "Show some respect that's Fatty Jr."
Pacey shook his head they always made fun of him now they where making fun of his dog.
Phoebe: Formed a bolt and threw it at the animal, causing him to turn to her direction. "Come on fur ball come get some of me."
Piper: "Phoebe, you just used up your only offensive power, and it did nothing but piss him off." Trying to blow him up, causing a hint of pain, "That's better,"
Prue: Sending the animal into the wall, "No it isn't he's still alive."
Lyn: Threw an athame at the animal it dug into his arm, "Your attack did nothing either."
Eva: Sent a sonic boom at the animal making it hit the grandfather clock, "Not much help either."
Paige: "For the love of god must I do it all?" She waved her hands at the dog, "Underworld!" The animal disappeared in orbs. "Now that's how you do it."
Frank: "Thank god you got him out he stank."
Bianca: "That was him, I thought it was Wyatt."
Wyatt: "Very funny, Ana really it was hilarious!"
Riley: Let out his breath, he turned to the dog who turned to look at him, he picked him up and scratched him behind his ear, "I know, dog, he's still alive."
Hazel: "Riley, you're bleeding."
Riley: "I know, it's just a flesh wound, don't worry about it." He looked into her eyes and for a second he lost himself in them.
Silver: Slapping his back, "Well you really are a Halliwell."
Riley: Rubbed his shoulder, she hit him hard, "Why do you say that?"
Parker: "Because the fat ass dog came to your aid, he only ever does that when someone he loves is in danger."
Riley: "Even though I just met him."
Silver: "Dogs are crazy like that."
Piper: "Alright that's it, I'm tired and it's past our bed times." The kids shook their heads while the other parents chuckled. "We will discuss all these different demons later, right now it's night time and I'm due for bed."
Mel: "Mom, not to cut you away from your sleep, because I'm already on your bad side. But where's Riley going to sleep? I mean you do sleep right?"
Chris: "Sis, because it's you, I'm just going to mention the word blonde."
Mel: "Hey I'm a natural blondish brunette I'm allowed to have those moments."
Wyatt: Shaking his head, "And you guys make fun of me for saying stupid things."
Bianca: "We don't make fun of you for saying stupid things, we make fun of you because you're stupid."
Damian: "Oh brother, will you two not start we had a good day today? I thought maybe the gods had finally helped you two get those heads out of your asses,"
Both: "Well they didn't!"
Damian: "Yea I noticed."
Riley: sighed as all their eyes fell back on him, "Of course I sleep, I'm human."
Phoebe: "I kinda forgot that you don't have anywhere to go." Deep down she was going to just let him stay at her place she saw nothing wrong with that, he was her son and he deserved her love just as much as her other kids had, even if she didn't know him, but then she saw Ryan's look and knew he wasn't ready for that.
Coop: Ignoring his older son's glare, he just knew that Riley was good, it might have been his eyes or just the way he put his life on the line for Coop's that showed him, that somehow maybe Riley was little Coop from Valentine's time, and he was loving that idea, "He could always just stay with us, we have a spare bed room."
Ryan: "Dad."
Riley: He saw the look in Ryan's dark blue eyes, and his emotions, "I don't want to impose, I can just stay somewhere else."
Hazel: "Where? You are new here."
Riley: He sent her a charming Halliwell smile that held a hint of Turner but more Valentine, "Don't worry about me, Hazel, I'm bouncy and I love to bounce from place to place, besides it wouldn't be right if I stayed here, you don't really know me to well, for all you know, I could snore or talk in my sleep." He was being honest, he did talk in his sleep, well not talk, rather yelled, he still had nightmares about King Ryan, and he didn't need them to know that, least of all Valentine, she'd kill him.
Parker: "Well, tough shit," He sent her a look, "You need protecting, because as we all saw that animal is after your ass, so the safest place would be here, you know us Halliwells tend to be pretty powerful, not me, I'm talking about Mel and Wyatt, I break easily," She pointed to her knee, and she was not happy about the fact that no one could heal it, so that meant crutches and she hated that.
Riley: "I'd rather not, but again thank you for your offer, but I'm just going to go, I may not know this place, but I am a charming moron, so I can assure you I can find a place to stay."
Silver: "Riley, you really should just stay here."
Ryan: "Piper."
Riley: He turned to Ryan, and sighed, he was trying to hold in his temper, not just for Ryan's benefit, but everyone else's too, if he didn't control his temper than the beast would take over and he was trying really hard not to be like Cole, "Don't, worry about me Silver, like I said, I'm bouncy it's easy for people like us to just live anywhere." He sent Ryan a look, "See ya later."
He shimmered out.
Ryan: "You guys have all lost your minds."
Parker: "Damian," Pacey turned to her knowing she wasn't in the mood for Ryan right now so he shot her a half smile, "Help me up, will you, I'm not ready for another speech about how my judgment on trusting just random people is going to get me killed," Damian said nothing and just picked her up and shimmered out.
Ryan sighed, why was everyone willing to just trust Riley as if he had been there along? Grace turned to him and shook her head. She knew it was the dreams that were making Ryan like this, but that didn't mean she had to like it.
-x-x-x-
To get up and walk away would be too easy. So stay and stand your ground, just watch your mouth with me. On the back of every right, there's a wrong looming. Have you ever tried to step in my shoes? Have you ever tried to balance that beam? And if you ever tried to fit in my shoes, they'll never be quite as soft as they seemed.

Ext. San Francisco, various shots of the city. Underlined by the song: Heartache Tonight by Michael Bublé.
Jay flipped opened his phone and looked down at all his twenty missed calls all by the same person he shut his phone. She wasn't going to give up and he knew that, it was one of the things that he liked about her and a thing he hated too. There was a knock on the door and he got up and went to answer it.
Girl's Voice: "Johnny, I know you're home so open the door."
Jay: Sighed there was only one woman that was allowed to call him that, "Gabby, what's wrong? You only ever come over when something is wrong."
Gabby: Tired of his foul mood, she was standing in front of him in a bright pink long sleeve shirt and some jeans, her hair was down hiding her ears, "How about you tell me what's wrong because you're the one acting bitchy with me."
Jay: Denying it, "Am not, I couldn't be acting any more normal with you and you know it."
Gabby: "Don't take that tone with me," She turned to look at someone he couldn't see, "You were right, he is bitchy,"
Jay: "Whom are you talking to?"
Frankie: Yawned as he came into Jay's view, "Hey Jay,"
Jay: Shook his head, "I should have known you'd be here, it stank like nosey ass Hunter."
Frankie: Turned to Gabby, "Gabby, I don't know what you did, but I don't like him anymore."
Gabby: "Why do you think I broke him? I'll have you know."
Frankie: "I didn't say you broke him, I just said I missed the good old days, where I wasn't in the Underworld all hours of the night and day. I'm kinda missing school and you know something is wrong when I miss school!"
Gabby: "That's true, you don't even know were homeroom is."
Frankie: "Exactly," He made a face that bunched up his cheeks, "That's the class we have everyday right?"
Gabby: "Oh, brother," She turned to Jay, "You and me, we're the sane ones, look what it's doing to Frankie, he's missing school, and he doesn't even like school."
Frankie: "It's the ditching classes that I miss and I miss it a lot!" He wiped away fake tears.
Jay: "Look nothing is wrong with me," They both sent him looks that said, 'Quit bull shiting us', "Fine okay, come here," They walked into the house, "Do you remember when we were helping Max and David that one time?" Frankie nodded his head, "Well I found something, and well it's going to change everything we've ever thought about."
Gabby: "A witch thing or other?"
Jay: Sighed, he knew that she wasn't going to be happy because the thing he learned had to do with her family, "Both, and Gabby, it's about your mom."
Gabby and Frankie both shared a look, if he hadn't said it yet then it had to be bad.
-Next Scene-
Wyatt: Was fiddling with his hands as his mother paced around the room, "So whom are we still waiting on?"
Parker: "Newbie."
Chris: "Where is Riley anyway."
Phoebe: "That is a good question, I wish he would have just stayed here."
Parker: "Mom you know why he didn't right?" Phoebe turned to look at her baby, "He didn't want to piss off Mr. married Halliwell." Went on as Wyatt turned to her, "And no, I'm not talking about Wyatt, Chris, Pacey, or Hank."
Chris: "I knew you weren't talking about me, I'm not married."
Parker: Sent Linn a look, "Sure you aren't, and my knee is perfectly fine, oh wait what was that pain in my knee, it's not fine? Yea that's what I thought, tell that to Chris."
Riley: Shimmered into the room, wearing the same clothes as yesterday though he looked a little worn out, he even had a black eye and his hair was messed up, he put on a smile for their account, though some of him wished he hadn't because his jaw hurt like crazy, fighting a demon to reveal stress was not working out for him too well, "What's going on?"
Nix: "We were waiting for you, and what the hell happened to you?""
Bianca: "You look like you got into a bar fight."
Riley: "I did, it was a little more painful than I thought it would be, but I had fun."
Lex: "Yup, he's related to Paige alright."
Parker: "Hey, I have you know I haven't started any bar fights lately, I only fought in them, because some stupid elf has a death wish."
Emily: "For that last time I am not an ELF!"
Bella: "Oh Emily grow up, you're an Elf and Julie was half monkey, and I'm the only sane one."
Pacey: Shot the older man a look, "Dude, you don't have other clothes do you?"
Riley: "What's wrong with the old biker look? I heard it was in."
Hank: Shook his head, "By whom, the guy that hit you?"
Riley: Frowning, "I think I had more fun in the bar."
Hazel: Shook her head she stuck her hand out to him, "Come on, I'll get some ice for your eye, and then we can go raid Pacey's closet I think you're his size."
Riley: "I don't want to—,"
Paige: "For the last time you're not intruding your manners are getting to be annoying."
Riley: "Sorry?"
Hazel: "Shut up, and come on before Aunt Paige has Aunt Piper blow you up." She saw his face, and the look of hurt that passed his eyes, "It was a joke."
Riley: "I don't think you should joke about that, I heard getting blown up hurts."
Hazel: "Riley, just follow me." She dragged him out of the room.
Lex: "Was he trying to make a move on my sister?"
Parker: "I think your sister was trying to make a move on my brother."
Wyatt: "Can we get to the demon that attacked and stole Riley first then to the animal who is trying to kill Riley now and then to who was trying to make a move on who?"
Prue: turned to the kids, "So what did the demon that took Riley look like?"
Pacey: "Mom, you know what he looks like, seeing as he almost killed you around the time you met Aunt Paige."
Piper: "Shax?"
Nix: "The book said that only the power of three could destroy him, what's that?"
Paige: "Well your Aunts Piper, Phoebe, and Prue were the power of three before they met me then we became the power of four."
Linn: "So are you guys still the power of three or is it someone else?"
Phoebe: "That's a good question," She turned to Leo who had his thinking face on, "Leo any idea?"
Leo: "Well, because you guys gave up on the power of three in order to form the power of four I kinda wanna say you aren't the power of three anymore."
Prue: "So, what we're just normal witches?"
Vincent: Stood up now, "I can answer that one, no you're the power of four, but because you guys met Paige when you did the power of three went to the closest Warren line."
Chris: "Okay this is going to sound blonde, but I thought we were the only Warren line left."
Vincent: he shook his head, "You're not, there happens to be a family out there that is half Warren."
Piper: "Wait a second your telling me that out there is another family like ours that is related to us,"
Vincent: "Yes."
Hank: "Does that mean they take some of the world to protect or do we still have to protect all of it from demons and evil?" Vincent couldn't help but laughing at that, "I wasn't kidding."
-Next Scene-
Victor: Opened his eyes as he heard his best friend up in the kitchen. He walked out of his room. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and opened them to find Sam downing a drink in the kitchen. "For a second I thought, I walked into the past. 'Cause last time I checked, Sammy, you don't drink anymore."
Sam: turned to Victor and pointed to the chair, "Take a seat my friend, in the end it's all going to be taken from us anyway. Our love, our kids, hell our grandkids, it's funny isn't it? I took your love and made a daughter and then in the end she thinks of you as her father and my grandson, well shit, he thinks of you as his grandfather."
Victor: "Sam, you know Henry Samuel loves you and you know how Paige is, Prue pressured her into thinking I'm a pretty great guy."
Sam: "No she didn't, you are a great guy what other guy would let the man that stole his wife away live with him?"
Victor: "Sammy, you damn well know that Patty and me were over before you made your move, you were in the right man, I was in the wrong." He shook his head and looked up at the sky, "Phoebe, honey help me help Grandpa Sam to the manor, I think your mother needs to talk to the drunk."
Suddenly they were enveloped in bright orbs.
-Next Scene-
Hazel: pulled out a black wife beater and turned to look at Riley who was standing next to her without a shirt, she noticed a tattoo on his chest that said 'DHNT' and was surrounded in a heart. But she said nothing. She pulled out a green button up shirt and some black jeans she smiled and handed them to him. "Try this."
Riley: She turned around and he took off the jeans, "Thanks for uhm, doing this."
Hazel: "I like to help, I work in."
Riley: "Fashion?"
Hazel: turned around and found Riley still buttoning up the shirt, her heart started to race and her palms began sweat he looked down to her with those huge blue orbs of his, "Yea something like that."
Riley: Looked up and his mouth got watery and his eyes twinkled, "Well, I think you're great at it."
Hazel: "Thank you." She walked over to him and helped him fix his hair, "I love your hair, it's so wild yet tamed."
Riley: His eyes closed as he felt her touch on his skin, he smelled her hair and it smelled fresh like sun flowers, "Yours is very nice."
Hazel: She let out a soft pretty laugh, "You're not very good with words."
Riley: God, he thought, even her laugh sends my heart into a rhythmic beat, "I never pretended to be a poet."
Hazel: Ran her hand through his hair she loved the way it felt on her finger tips, she knew this was wrong but her emotions were getting the better of her, "I guess it's a good thing I wasn't looking for one."
Riley couldn't stop himself, his lips met hers and to his amazement she didn't disappear in fact she pulled him closer.
-Next Scene-
Gabby read the scroll over again and she kept muttering 'not possible' over and over again.
Frankie: "JJ, I think you broke her."
Jay: "I didn't break her, Frank, but I know I think I scared her."
Gabby: Looked up to them, "Don't talk about me like I'm not here, do you think DJ knows, do you think my dad knows, oh my god, my mom, does she know?"
Jay: "Hey, come on, take a deep breath okay, I know everything seems a little."
Gabby: "What, Johnny, like everything in my life has been a lie?"
Frankie: Sighed, "Relax, Gabby, just take a deep breath, for all we know this isn't us."
Gabby: "You're kidding right?" Reading, "A warrior who loves the chase and catch brother of two of the thirteen and son of two witches of Salem's ashes," She shot him a look because it damn well sounded like him, "Is to join forces with the son of the Ultimate power who has full control over fire," She turned to Jay who sighed, "They shall join a girl who is unknown in the battle, she is close to them and has always known of magic but not of the magic deep inside herself. They will fight many demons but their job is not to win the war but rather to save the soul of the fallen child. With help by the youngest Underwood they shall not only accomplish this but as well grow into their full powers. United they shall form a powerful collection, unlike anything seen in a while." She shook her head, "Yea that doesn't sound like us at all."
Frankie: "Well when you read it like."
Jay: Shook his head, "Should we tell the older kids?"
Gabby: "YES!"
Frankie: "I think she wants us to tell them."
Jay: "Let's go."
Frankie: "I think JJ wants us to go," Gabby grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "Woman, you're stretching out my shirt!"
-Next Scene-
Victor helped Sam sit down on the love seat.
Nix: "Grandpa Victor, what happened to Grandpa Sam?"
Sam: Drunk, "Even the girl likes you better."
Victor: He groaned, "Dear god, not again with this, I swear on everything that's holy, Sam, you aren't allowed to drink anymore!" She turned to Paige, "Paige honey, fix him, he is driving me nuts apologizing for a lot of things that happened in the past."
Paige: Turned to her biological father, "Sam, what the hell is the matter with you? I thought you kicked that habit."
Sam: "Adam Underwood is dead," Paige looked confused as hell, "He was my best friend's son that I met a long time ago, not that long but pretty long, I took Adam under my wing and taught him how to be a great witch, and now he's dead." He turned to Paige; "I failed him, like I fail everyone."
Nix: "Grandpa, that's not true, you're a pretty great guy."
Hank: "Yea, Grandpa Sam, you are, you even let me shoot my first gun."
Henry: Looking somewhat sad, "I thought I taught you how to shoot a gun first."
Hank: Turned to his dad, "I wasn't going to tell you that Grandpa Sam let me shoot a gun when I was ten."
Paige: Shook her head and turned to her husband, "Henry, remind me not to let Sam watch Pierce, I don't need another trigger happy man in this family."
Suddenly the younger kids walked into the room.
Gabby: "I still say that we should find out what I can do."
Frankie: "And I said that I agree."
Jay: "Well I'm the boss. So we're going to tell them first then see what you can do, if you can do anything, maybe you'll get lucky and it won't be you."
Gabby: "We both know it's me."
Frankie: "When the hell did you become the boss, because I didn't get that memo?"
Jay: "It was at that meeting that you decided to skip."
Lyn: Looking down at her watch and saw that it was early, "Frankie what are you doing here? It's too early for you to be up, normally you're up at twelve."
Frankie: "Well, Jay found this scroll and it talks about us, and by the way, I think Gabby is a witch, and the scroll says that us younger kids are going to be pretty kick ass."
Damian: "I'm sorry, did you just say you think Gabby is a witch?"
Jay: "Yup, that's exactly what he said."
Damian: "Gabby can't be a witch, because, well."
Gabby: She nodded her head, she knew what he was going to say, then that would mean that DJ was a witch and that wouldn't be a good thing, the guy wasn't ready for that kind of responsibility, "Hey, I think magic is great but I'm hoping this thing is wrong."
Leo: "Can I see the scroll?" Gabby handed it to him he began to read it to himself, Andy walked over to him and looked over his shoulder, two eyes were better than one.
Victor: "Sammy?"
Sam: Not looking up from his hands, "Look I know I'm not perfect I never will be."
Piper: "Sam, no one here is perfect."
Prue: "Except me."
Pacey: Grabbed his head, "Oh dear, mother."
Sam: "But to fail at something so many damn times. To lose so many people, I shouldn't be a whitelighter; I'm not cut out for it anymore."
Phoebe: "Hey, Sam, look, you couldn't save this Adam, sometimes we're just not meant to, what did he from die anyway?"
Sam: He looked up to Phoebe, "I don't know, Aidan didn't really tell me, he just told me that his old man was dead."
Vincent: Looked up, "By any chance did, your friend's last name happen to be Underwood?"
Sam: "Yea, Adam Underwood, why?"
Gabby: "Hey, the scroll talked about an Underwood that Frankie, Jay, and this mystery girl were supposed to join forces with."
Vincent: He looked around the room; he saw the look in Piper's eyes.
Piper: "Let me guess, Vince, the Underwood's happen to be that other part of Warren family tree?"
Vincent: "Yea."
Paige: "Okay I have an idea, its going to sound a little crazy," They all looked at her, "Sam has to go grieve right? And we all need to meet these Underwood's, because as it happens they're family, so, I say we go with Sam."
Parker: "That sounds like a good idea, and it'd give us time to get to know Newbie a little better."
Mel: "Only a Paige would agree with a Paige."
Wyatt: "And only a Piper would say something like that."
Bianca: "Shut up, Blondie before Mel kicks your ass."
Chris: Snaps, "Aw, B, why did you say anything? I've been waiting for her to kick his ass since diapers."
Pacey: "There's only one problem with this plan."
Phoebe: "Only a Prue would find a problem."
Prue: "That's because we're perfect and we think of everything."
Piper: Stopped Phoebe from starting with Prue, "Pacey, honey, go on."
Pacey: "Where the hell are Riley and Hazel?"
-Next Scene-
Riley and Hazel pulled away from the kiss slowly.
Riley: Looked away somewhat ashamed and shy. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."
Hazel: Couldn't help the smile that formed on her face, "Really? because I did."
Riley: He let out a laugh, "Hazel you don't even know me, I'm a stranger and I'm half source and…"
Hazel: She put her finger on his lips to make him stop talking, "Riley, stop, I'm not going to push you away just because you're half source."
Riley: "Are you so stupid, that you'd just blindly take me as I am, not see my reality, Hazel, I'm not what you think I am, I'm half Cole, don't you understand what that means?"
Hazel: "That you're charming as hell."
Riley: Went to say something, when the door opened and in rushed Lex and Pacey, Lex looked out of breath, Pacey shook his head, Riley turned away from Hazel, "Thanks for the help, Hazel."
Hazel: Looked back at him and she saw the pain in his eyes, "You're welcome."
Riley tried to hide his emotions but some of him was just tired of being alone. Hazel tried to deny the pain her heart felt, didn't want the troubled love life everyone she knew had, she didn't want to hide behind her parents like Lex and she didn't want to ignore the love in front of her eyes like Damian had, and she didn't want to just be friends like Chris and Linn nor did she want to make the other person jealous as Pacey and Bella had, she wanted Riley and she damn well knew he wanted her to.
Pacey: Walked over to Riley as Hazel and Lex left his room, "Come on, Coop, we're going on a road trip."
Riley: turned to Pacey, "How do you do it, Andrew? All I want to do, is let my emotions run me. I want to scream at the top of my lungs that my name is Coop not Cole that I'm a demon who's cursed to have a demon half that sometimes scares the crap out of me, that I miss my mom and my dad, that I want to be with Hazel. How do you stop yourself, from saying fuck this and grabbing her in a deep hot kiss?"
Pacey: Placed a hand on his older cousin's shoulder, "You just do."
To be continued…
Have to feel for Hazel and Riley both feel something for the other but are to scared to act on those feelings. More Riley than Hazel though. Please review!
