Chapter 3: Power of Who?
DJ Morris walked into the manor he was dressed in a green polo shirt with some jeans. He scratched his chin as he walked into the room. Parker was reclining on the counter messing with her crutches, she stopped for a second and took a gulp of her coffee, she turned to her right hand as she realized that she had picked up the cup with her right hand something she shouldn't have done since she was left handed, she turned to her left hand and noticed that it was shaking as if it were trying to move itself. She sighed in slight frustration, it wasn't just her emotions that she could feel from Valentine, wasn't just her memories, wasn't that Valentine had gotten to keep Riley from coming to live here, wasn't that whenever Valentine thought of Max she held a slight attraction to him, wasn't that this woman was messing with her mind, heart, and soul, but it was the fact that now even her left handed-ness was no more and she was hating that. She prided herself on being a left handed person hell she had that as her own, her sister and brothers were all right handed her mom and her aunts were right handed as well. She had been the only left handed one and now Valentine was taking even that away from her. She shut her eyes as she heard Frankie's loud grunt, then shook her head, she used to enjoy a fight. Now all she could think about was how an enemy might attack and all the details, she had to think about it now when before she could just feel it the way the fight was headed and now she couldn't.
DJ: Walking closer to her, "What the hell is that?"
Frank: Shook his head, "That's my only son getting his ass beat by a newbie."
Lyn: Sent her husband a look, he knew damn well that she could kick his ass so why he was making a comment about their son she didn't know, "Give him some credit you know that Valkyries have powerful fighting skills."
Julian: Smirked, "All I know is if my son…"
Jay: Grunted, "No Gabby don't," They heard a crashing sound, "I'm okay,"
Frankie: Ran out of the basement, "I don't wanna do this anymore, I don't wanna!" His face had a huge blue bruise on it, and his lip was swollen. He turned to his mother and shook his head, "I don't wanna go through that again, it was bad enough when I had to help Park deal with her new power I won't be anyone's fucking lab rat!"
Lyn: "Frank! What in the world is wrong with you?"
Frankie: "Gabby almost killed me!"
Parker: Yawned as she looked over at Frankie, "You do realize that well, shit, that's what training with her is for?"
Frankie: "So she can kill me?"
Parker: Sighed, "Frank, the reason me, Pace, Mel, and Nix work so well together has nothing to do with our moms, has nothing to do with the fact we're cousins, it has to do with the fact I make them train every day, I train with them, and I always do,"
Frankie: "You still train, even though you're still a kick ass witch?"
Parker: "I'm not a kick ass witch, I just happened to train a lot, nothing else."
Frankie shook his help and walked down the stairs.
Frank: "You and your lackeys don't train."
Parker: "What? I do train, it's just I haven't had a chance to do it lately." She turned to look down at her leg, "This proves it, my leg would be fine if I hadn't been stupid and well sloppy."
Coop: "Parker, not being able to train isn't the end of the world."
Parker: "No, dad, but it can lead to it."
Coop shook his head; he didn't know why he tried to make her see reason sometimes it was like talking to wall.
DJ: "What's going on?"
Jay's Voice: "Frankie, get her off me!"
Frankie's Voice: Almost whining, "Man, I don't wanna die!"
Parker: "They're training, and the boys are getting their asses beat. Doesn't help that Gabs knows martial arts." She turned and gave him a smile, "DJ thought she'd be better to defend herself."
DJ: "Gabby in there?"
Piper: "Yes,"
DJ: Turning to Parker, "I thought you called me over here for somethin important?"
Parker: "I did, well I didn't," She turned to her family, "I'm not telling him, I have a life to want to see the end of."
Phoebe: Shaking her head at her daughter, "Fine we'll explain it to him."
Parker: Put the crutches under her arms, "Sweet, I'll be down there with Jr. evil children. Wishing I could play with them, but not being able to because I can't be healed."
Henry: "Paige, I'd play you a violin if I knew how."
Parker: "How rude!"
Henry laughed at Parker's childish face.
Coop: "I don't think they like that name, Paige."
Parker: Smiled at her father, and secretly thanked him for calling her Paige, because in the first time in her life, she needed to be reminded, that she was in fact Paige, and not just another Parker, "That's too bad, dad because I happen to love it."
She walked down to the basement to go mess with the teens.
DJ: Turned to his aunts and uncles, "Okay, spill it, because you guys all look like Wyatt does when he's about to get busted for checking B out."
Leo: Shook his head, "That boy should just tell her he's still in love with her."
Frank: "That girl should stop playing hard to get. Then that boy should confess his love."
Coop: "It is not called hard to get when you're dealing with a loss, it's called grieving."
Leo: "I miss that boy too, but still that doesn't mean they should have pulled apart like that."
Prue: "Guys, we can deal with Wyatt and Bianca's relationship later, let's just tell DJ what we have to."
DJ: "Now that worries me."
-New Scene-
Wyatt: sighed as he looked out the view of the city, so much freedom in one window, he shook his head when Bianca walked over to him handing him a drink of water. "You ever miss it?
Bianca: Sent him a confused face, "Miss what?" There were a lot of things she could be missing and a lot of things he could be talking about she didn't always know what he was speaking about.
Wyatt: "Living on your own? You know away from the brats?" He sent a look to his brother who was laughing at something Linn had just said, "Free to go any come as we pleased?"
Bianca: "I can still do that, you know my mom isn't as bad as Aunt Piper and Aunt Prue."
Wyatt: Shook his head, "True, why do you think we told her first?" Taking about whom they told first that they had gotten married, their marriage hadn't been a full of family it had been hidden and a spur of the moment but even so they never had regretted it.
Bianca: Looking away from him, "Wy, why don't you just say what you wanna say?"
Wyatt: Sent her a confused look, but nodded his head anyway, she forgot his brain wasn't as quick as everyone else's, "Sometimes a question means nothing but that, the question that is being asked." He looked back to the window view, "Though there are times hidden messages are in questions, but I don't really do that."
Bianca: "And sometimes, you forget that the chase is all anyone needs."
Wyatt: turning to her with a passion in his light blue eyes, "Well if we're talking about the chase then you might want to know that works both ways, people won't chase anyone unless they get chased back. Hell sometimes one needs to chase so the other person knows to chase them back."
Bianca: Sending him a look filled with the same passion, "I think I've chased you, Wyatt."
Wyatt: "You mean away? Yea you did that too, B."
Bianca: Shaking her head at him then turned to him with harden eyes, "Why do you have to be like that, Matty?" He was always either trying to get back with her or reminding her why they had broken up in the first place, both stubborn too admit that they missed the other that they would never fall in love with anyone else.
Wyatt: He put on a smile for her and trying to soften her eyes, "You know you haven't called me that in years. It's only ever Matt now, so grown up for some reason."
Bianca: "And you aren't allowed to call me B."
Wyatt: Laughed, "Yea, I know, maybe that's why I do it, B. Love pushing your buttons it's the only way I ever get a half smile out of you, only way I ever get some kind of happiness out of your eyes." He sent her a slight pained smile, "And I miss that, B, the way your eyes shined with happiness."
She shook her head as he walked away from her. He couldn't say anything else no matter how hard he wanted to if she wasn't going to chase him back then he saw no reason to chase her. For if she didn't chase him back then that meant she didn't want him back. Lex walked slowly over to her.
Lex: "Hello, B."
Bianca: Seeing he was about to make a comment about her and Wyatt, he did have his hands in his pockets and playing with the change in them, "What do you want, Derek?"
Lex: "I just wanna say something for every empath that has ever met you and Wyatt."
Bianca: Crossing her arms over her chest she didn't like where this was headed, "What?"
Lex: "I met my daughter when you met your next son, and I've learned some things from meeting Astrid. One is well, she's a lot like teenage Nix, which scares the holy hell out of me, but wouldn't change her for nothing, because teenage Nix turned out to be pretty amazing. Two, I can't wait to hold her in my arms raise her and show her everything about magic that can make you smile no matter how bad your day is, and three, no matter how bad things get with me and Nix we end up together, like we always knew we would. She likes to pretend that she saw me coming that she knew that I loved her since we were in diapers, but if anything, Nix is an acquired taste. I didn't always know that I loved her that way." He chuckled, "This way, the way I love her and can't even breath without her, but growing up I saw different sides of her and then one day it hit me in the gut, she's perfect and me maybe I had a slight chance to have her even if it was for a second. I thank god every day that she keeps giving me chances." She shook her head at him, but he kept going, "So what I'm trying to say is, that one thing I've learned with meeting Franco is that you and Wy, same thing, no matter how much pain or anger you both feel, no matter how stupid you two want to act you end up together. The thing is the only two stupid people in this world happen to be you and him. Everyone else sees it, the connection that you two still have, the passion in both of your eyes when someone mentions the other's name. I'm going to tell you this, you better get him back, I don't care if you both are hurting or mad at each other or the world, but you have to get him back. Because trust me, you don't wanna blink and see him standing with a demon who angers you and treats him like shit makes him choose love over everything he believes."
Bianca: "Wyatt isn't teenage Nix, Lex."
Lex: "No, but pain and loneliness can make any sane person do something stupid. I'm begging you from every being in this world, you find some way to start chasing him back home, or B you'll blink, and he'll move on, and you'll want him too, because you want the best for him, it's the reason you didn't stop him from leaving it's the reason you pretend to have moved on, it's the reason to pretend there's no passion even though we could save a cupid's life with all the passion you two feel for the other."
Bianca: "What are you trying to say, Lex?"
Lex: "You don't wanna wake up and see that everything you've ever wanted is gone and you're left alone in the dark, searching for a flash light but with no aid at your side." He took hold of her hand, "I promise you no one not any cupid on this earth of any other dimension for that matter with try and set Wyatt up on a date but sometimes things happen, sometimes we lose our way from our soul mate."
Bianca: "Thanks for the words Lex, but you're right, meeting Franco told me, Wyatt and me, we'll end up together, but that doesn't mean the future can't change."
Lex: "Doesn't mean it should," Shook his head, "If only you had what I have you'd see what everyone in this room, family, world, living being does, then you'd truly see how wrong you really are."

Chris: walked over to his brother and tapped him on the shoulder, Wyatt turned to him and tried to smile tried to pretend that talking with B, hell just looking at her didn't still hurt. "You okay, big guy?"
Wyatt: "I'm fine, Chris, you don't have to check up on me every five seconds."
Chris: "Wy, I'm going to let it slide even though that venom in your voice kinda hurts me."
Wyatt: In a more brotherly-tone, "What do you want from me, Chris?"
Mel: Walked over to them, "To stop being a fucking moron it would kinda be nice."
Wyatt: Groaned as he saw his baby sister standing there with her hands on her hips looking just like their mother, "Sure thing, Mom, I'll get right on that as soon as I learn what the hell you two are talking about."
Chris: "Stupid, stop yelling at us."
Wyatt: With a childish voice, "I'm telling Dad you called me stupid, lord knows if I tell mom she won't do anything to her Peanut and Jr. her."
Mel: "Dad gave us permission to call you names until you get your head out of your ass."
Wyatt: "You know what? Let's be real for a second, because you two have no right to call me names. Chris, you're in love with Linn and are pretty blind and clueless to see that she loves you back, hell she thinks your cute that your jokes are funny but let's be serious the only funny one in this family is Hank, but we don't yell at you every five seconds when you send her goo-goo eyes hell no one tells you crap or calls you clueless!" Chris was left speechless, what was he going to say to that? He didn't think Linn could ever see him as more than a friend, Wyatt turned to his sister, "Mel, look I know you're worried I know that you fear that I'll go to pieces on you sis, but I won't okay. I know that I love her I know that there is no one but her for me the thing it she doesn't get it, I left because I blamed Luke's death on me, not her, I left so she could heal, yes I now know it was stupid and I was running from my emotions hell let's face it I joined the army so I could shoot things it made me feel like I was in control of my shit. We all know I'm not, but I promise you I won't fall back to crazy moronic Wyatt, I'm me again."
Mel: "Then why are you being a moron and a jackass?"
Wyatt: "I'm playing this her way, she wants me to move on and get over her even though that ain't happening ever, but I will pretend to do it, so the second she needs me I'll swoop in and show her I'm not leaving and that I'm ready to face her emotions and mine as well no matter the fall back."
Mel: "Guess you aren't stupid after all."
Wyatt: "I only play it to make you seem happy, though it wasn't really my idea, it was more Parker."
Mel: "And she said she wasn't touching your love life."
Wyatt: "Parker is a liar but that's why I love her."
Mel: "It's why we all do."
Chris: "Linn thinks I'm cute?"
Wyatt: Laughs, "Little brother, she thinks you're very cute."
Chris smiled he was liking that idea.
Mel: Hugged Wyatt and Chris, "Looks like I'm signing up another brother for Parker's therapy sessions."
XXXX
Hank: sighed as he looked down at his watch, Emily sat down next to him and he pulled her into a bear hug, "Hello, my love."
Emily: "Remind me why we're still waiting for Aiden and his demon friend?"
Alice: "Because if we rush them, then we'd never get anything out of either one of them, growing up with my twin I've learned a few things, one he's a pain in the ass two whenever he's near Claire, James's time is meaningless."
Bella: "So we're going to be here forever."
Alice: Smiled, "Yea," She looked up when she saw a shadow pass her eyesight, it was Reese and he seemed to be on a mission or something. "Reese?"
Alex: Rushed after him, "Ignore us, we're looking for paper."
Alice: "Alex?"
Alex: Looking away, "She's giving me the eyes."
Reese: "Then tell her not too?" He started to throw things out of his way, "Where the hell is it?"
Alice: "What are you looking for?"
Alex: "Nothing, can't a person just throw things around and not be asked anything?"
Aiden: "What's going on?"
Reese: "Where the hell is my notebook?"
Alice: Pointing to the sofa, "Why didn't you just ask me?"
Alex: "Because us young and normal people like to do things the hard way." She walked over to it and made a motion to her brother, "Time?"
Reese: "Let's hurry this up! It ain't going to last long."
Claire: "Alex what happened to your hand?"
Alex: "Nothing happened to my hand!" She tossed Reese the notebook, "Gotta go."
Aiden: "Where?"
Reese: "We are so busted."
Alex: "Shut up!"
Pacey: "Now I see that Paige isn't the only crazy person."
Mel: "I am so telling Parker you called her Paige."
Pacey: "She's not letting me call her anything else."
Damian: Sighed, he didn't like it when Pacey and Parker fought because that could only mean trouble, and he was trying to keep her calm for the wedding it wasn't like she'd run it was more like she'd push it all ahead because she wanted it over already, that and she missed sex, he missed it too, "What's wrong with her?"
Riley: "Maybe her knee? I mean she does like to hunt demons right? Maybe she's just angry we sent her home?"
Chris: Sending him a look, if anyone could find out that Riley was Coop Halliwell from Valentine's present it was Chris, not that it would be a bad thing in Riley's mind, but for some reason Valentine didn't want anyone to know she was back, "That might be it, but how could you come up with something like that?"
Linn: "He's right you barely know Park."
Reese: "I thought he was her brother?"
Hank: "They just found out about him."
Reese: "Kinda like Alex?"
Sam: "Not like Alex, they just met Riley, Alex is been here all your life and hers."
Alex: "Can we not talk about my father and his way with women?"
Victor turned to Sam.
Sam: "He pulled a Patty, except, Alex's mom has never came to claim her."
Alex: "Can we also not speak about my mother? What is this make Alex walk down painful life lane day?"
Reese: "No that's next week."
Alex: "Antony, you are my least favorite person right now."
Reese: "As long as I'm still your favorite sibling."
Alex: "Always little brother always."
Aiden: "Can we get back to one your hand, two the reason he needs his notebook, and three how our lives are going to turn upside down again to help them?"
Reese: "Only one, I touched Lexi with my red hand and I burned her."
Alex: "I'm fine, just a small little burn."
Alice: "And second?"
Alex: "We were going to make a comic book."
Reese: "I just got a vision. Of Lexi fighting a demon dog."
Hazel: Chuckled and looked at Riley, "And we've actually met him."
-New Scene-
Gabby punched Jay in the gut and then kicked Frankie on his chin knocking him out cold, Jay took in deep breaths and went to swing at her only to knock himself over, he stayed on the ground breathing hard.
Parker: Clapped and whistled, "Girl power!"
Gabby: Slightly bowed, she helped up Jay who walked over to Frankie and poured water over his friend to get him out, Frankie glared back at him, "Okay again from the top."
The boys groaned.
Parker: "How about you guys take a break?"
Gabby: "Would you take a break?"
Jay: "She's right Park would you?"
Frankie: "Please say yes."
Parker: "I would, come here, sit, let's talk about things."
The three teens grabbed a spot of the floor and looked up to one of their heroes, not that they'd admit it to her.
Jay: "What do you wanna talk about, Boss?"
Parker: "I found your Underwood or at least I saw him, he seemed nice, I think he'll fit in wonderfully."
Gabby: "How old is he?"
Parker: "Frankie's age,"
Frankie: "Guess we tie for leader?"
Parker: "I'm going to let you on a secret."
Three Teens: "What?"
Parker: "You don't choose to be the leader it chooses…" She stopped half way and started laughing, "Oh god I couldn't even finish, I'm not going to lie to you, you choose to be the leader, not stupid fate or destiny, but she can help. As you may or may not know, Nix was at one time the leader, then I took it and now Pacey is trying for it. Pretty sure I'm not going to let him be the leader, guy draws for a living that does not scream responsible. I love my cousin don't get me wrong, but I hate following his lead, because he is such a male when he leads!"
Jay: "Are you saying we should let Gabby lead?"
Parker: "No what I'm saying is even though Gabs is the strongest she hasn't been doing this all her life."
Gabby: "She's right, guys, though if you lead me into a trap I'm going to kill you both."
Frankie: Leaning into Jay, "And she has the power to do it."
Parker: "Look, choosing your leader doesn't have to be done overnight it's a long process it takes time, being the leader is hard you aren't only thinking about your ass but everyone's in your group, it's a job that gives you gray hairs and a job that makes life fun as well." She smiled, "No, right now all you have to do is figure out a way to let us let you play with us."
Jay: "You're saying we have to do something huge to be allowed into the attic when the demon talks are being held."
Parker: Nodding her head in agreement of what he just said, "I would never say that, that could lead you to going to the Underworld without your mommies and daddies or worse without your bigger siblings to help you and hold you back from your learning."
Gabby: "So what you're saying is that you won't tell us to go to the Underworld, but we should rack up learning points?"
Parker: "You know when I went to the Underworld my first time, I was scared shitless, I didn't know what I was doing, hell I walked into trap after trap, couldn't see 'em until I was shackled to a fucking cave wall. But I learned, I can now see traps before the demons even think of them, plans have different endings just so I don't get caught by different demons who at any chance could come back and eat me… you don't have to do it my way, hell you can do it Wyatt's way, go in blind and not do research you know more feel the way you go type of thing, it doesn't matter as long as your system works for every member of your team."
They looked at each other seemed like a lot of work. But they knew the more work something was the more pay off it would have.
-New Scene-
The Queen of the underworld looked around like she was bored. She sighed as a demon walked in front of her, he was pacing and worry clear in his eyes, and she slightly yawned, she stood up and he stopped pacing and turned to look at her.
Demon: "You're Majesty, I beg of you."
Queen: "You don't know where they are, does that not mean I should rip your head from your body?"
Demon: gulped and sweat dripped off his face, "Uh…."
Seer: Stepped up and turned to her, "My Queen."
Queen: "I am not your Queen you are just a pet given to me by the future King, but that does not mean much in this timeline, do you understand, Seer?"
Seer: "Yes Queen, but I just thought you'd like to know I've found them."
Queen: She looked to the demon who was staring into her eyes, begging her to let him live, a part of her would have for it not all the other demons around her. She only looked at the demon and fire started to form around his body he screamed in pain but stopped as the fire subsided, the demon collapsed onto the cave floor the other demons turned to look at her, "Get him out of here and remind him that if he ever loses the location of a Halliwell again I will not be so easy on him." The demons walked over to the unconscious demon that looked like a meteor hit him over and over again, they picked him up and shimmered out. She turned to him, "Tell me Seer where are they?"
Seer: Gulped himself some panic filled his eyes but he tried to pretend that what he was about to tell her wasn't dire, "Los Angles, with the Underwoods."
Queen: Cracked her neck and looked up enraged, "Monstrum!" The demonic dog teleported into the room and looked down at her, "Kill them all or don't bother coming back!" The demonic dog nodded its head and teleported out, she turned to look at the Seer, "For your sake he better get blood or I would hate to send you back to King Ryan without a head." The Seer nodded his head and left the room, she looked up to the sky, "I hate this place." She pulled out a ring and fiddled with it and held it tight in her palm, "Why did you have to die, RJ? We could have ruled them all." She wiped a tear away from her face and looked out to her cave and shook her head. Sometimes being the Queen was the best thing in the world, she felt strong and eager to rule and control the demons, other times, it didn't seem like it was for her. And slowly she was forgetting the very reason why she took the job.
-New Scene-
Aiden looked up from where he was sitting, Alice nodded her head to everything that had been said and Alex just yawned, it was Reese that said something.
Reese: "So they're the power of three," After a second, "So?"
Chris: "What do you mean so this is a big deal."
They had just explained that because they were Warren by their father that they were able to take hold the power of three, but it was as if they didn't care about it.
Alex: "It's not that we don't care about it, but it's just."
Aiden: "We already knew, Dad told us."
Sam: "How did he know?"
Reese: "He was an Oracle,"
Alex: rolled her eyes, "Can we get away from that woman chaser?"
Alice: "Alex!"
Alex: "Don't start with me now,"
Aiden: turned to his baby sister, "Lexi, I now you're pissed off at dad and every other person from our family, because of the truths that had gotten out, I mean if I found out my mom isn't my mom and my real mom never claimed me I'd feel a little…" He stopped as he knew how he was starting to sound like and he could see the hurt on her face, "Sorry, but we need to band together, besides you annoy me like Reese does and I don't look at you any different just because you're my half sister, hell Alex I love you the same and I always will even if you do try and put me in an early grave all the time." She sent him a small smile so he went on, "So we can get rid of that demon that's after Riley?"
Reese: "There's another thing they haven't said that needs to be said."
The older Underwoods turned to the Halliwells and their friends.
Bianca: "He's right, there is another prophecy about my little brother and his best friend Jay Jenkins."
Aiden: "What does that have to do with us?"
Reese: "You nothing, it has to do with me, I'm supposed to join sides with Frankie, Gabby, and Jay."
Linn: "How do you know their names?"
Hazel: "He's an Oracle."
Lex: "Another one? I thought you were the last one in the whole living world."
Hazel: "I'm not,"
Riley: His Hazel hadn't lived long enough to get that power, "Oracle? What is that?"
Reese: Looking to Hazel amazed that he wasn't alone in this world, after his dad he was the only Oracle he had ever met his father made it almost impossible to meet other magical people meeting Oracles was highly never going to happen and here she stood another person like him, cursed like him, "We can see the future, it can ruin relationships, stop deaths, or maybe even cause them."
Hazel: Sends Riley a look, "But sometimes we get lucky and it helps us see that there is someone better headed our way. And sometimes we save the day because of what we see."
Reese: "Yea it can do that too."
Riley's Thoughts: couldn't help but smile, "So she knows what will happen so that means she already knows who I really am, so that means, she already knows about me, about all the love I have to give, but does that mean she loves me too?"
Hazel: Not looking at him, but answering his unspoken question, "You better believe I do."
He smiled a huge smile that showed his Halliwell and Valentine traits.
Aiden: "So what does this mean for Reese?"
Reese: "We will get to that later right now we have to get rid of the demon that's after Riley he won't be able to live wherever he wants if we don't."
Riley: "I don't even have a place to stay yet, so that's not really a problem yet."
Wyatt shot Chris a look.
Mel: "We have a slight idea on how to deal with the demonic dog, but we're going to have to do it at home."
Reese: "Which means, road trip!"
Claire: looking at Aiden, "Means I have to go watch the demons."
Aiden: Stood up, and smiled at her, "Missing you already."
Claire: "Please be safe I don't know what I'd do without you."
Aiden: "Find some other witch to make fun of with your brother."
Claire: Kissed his cheek, "Bye guys," And she shimmered out.
Alice: "Guess we better get ready for San Francisco."
Reese: "I love road trips."
Alex: "Someone please tell me we can orb or something."
Mel: "We could orb the cars."
Nix: "As long as someone feeds me afterwards"
Lex: "I'm calling Aunt Piper right now."

Riley: was pulled to the corner by the older kids. "What's going on guys?"
Linn: "Your living arrangements."
Riley: "What about them?"
Chris: "Riley we can't let you be a bum."
Riley: "I'm not, I'm looking for a place."
Bianca: "Why?"
Riley: "What do you mean why? Because I need one."
Wyatt: "I do believe I remember, a certain Aunt Paige saying something about you could stay in the manor, hell Uncle Coop said you could stay in their spare bedroom."
Riley: "I don't want to live in the manor, you people don't understand the word 'new' you shouldn't trust me this quickly, have our mothers taught you nothing?"
Damian: "Yea, family is always a good thing to trust."
Chris: "Look if you don't want to live at the manor, because you're afraid to hurt us in any way, which you can't."
Riley: "You don't know that, I'm half demon,"
Bianca: "Why don't you want us to trust you?"
Riley: "I want you too, but not just blindly, haven't you been listening to Ryan? I'm half Source for all you know I could be the big bad," Seeing the looks they were sending him, "You don't know, I could be."
Linn: "You aren't, Riley, we know you have a heart and someone who runs the Underworld is heartless, she has to be heartless to send in a pet dog after someone. With the order to kill."
Riley: "She thinks I'm a threat if I were to go evil I'm the source just solely because of my DNA."
Chris: "It's a good thing you won't be turning evil, because you know it could kill your mother we know you won't."
Riley: "She doesn't even know me,"
Wyatt: Gave his shoulder a squeeze, "Give her a chance Coop, you might like her."
Riley: He blinked a second because had he heard his oldest cousin right, 'Coop', he turned to Pacey, who was looking away from him, but standing close to them, "You told them!"
Pacey: Walking over to them, "I decided that you needed us cousins on your side if anything ever happened it's not my fault I might of said that you happen to be Coop, from Valentine's present."
Riley: "Pacey…"
Chris: Put his hand on his cousin, "Coop, face it we know okay, and we promised to keep this from everyone."
Riley: "You're not going to tell on me?"
Bianca: "No."
Riley: "I kinda wish you would."
Damian: "Man I know what you're going through, I know its tough, but we'll get you through this."
Riley: "I can't stay at the manor though."
Chris: "Didn't we just…"
Riley: "No Chris it's not that, it's just, I have nightmares about King Ryan, about the things he's done things that I've done, let happen." He looked away ashamed of that time of his life, it was a something he had to carry with him for the rest of his life, whether he wanted to or not, "And if mom were to learn, she'd kill me, I mean I'm ruining her perfect family, and besides Ryan hates my guts and I haven't even gone and showed you my demonic half yet."
Wyatt: "Riley, we can cover the nightmares, there's a spell that sound proofs rooms so we can do that in your room. Aunt Phoebe would never harm one hair on your head, and neither would Uncle Coop, in fact they've been waiting for you for a long while and they're just happy to know you're home, just worried that you might never like them, and we promise to get Ryan to ease up on you, he always wanted a little brother,"
Riley: "Then why does he hate me?"
Linn: "He doesn't hate you."
Riley: "I'm an empath, remember?"
Bianca: "It's just a little rough on him right now, but he'll come around I promise."
Chris: "We all do."
Riley: "Fine, I'll move into the manor."
Damian: "I told you he would."
Riley: "Kinda do miss Aunt Piper's cooking."
Bianca: "That is something one can always miss,"
Chris: "Who do you think taught me?"
Pacey: "Now all we have to do is make sure Valentine likes this idea."
Riley: saw how they didn't act as if hearing Valentine's name bothered them, "So you told them about her too?"
Chris: "We could always remember Valentine because we met her personally, but yea he told us that she's causing Parker trouble and we'll help with that too."
Wyatt: "You younger kids always like to forget us older kids like to help you guys out."
Bianca: "It's our job."
Riley: "Sorry that we're clueless."
-New Scene-
DJ: sat in front of the parents who were sending each other looks. "Can we tell me what's going on already? I'm getting nervous with all this quiet."
Leo: "Okay we're just going to tell you…"
DJ: "Cool."
Phoebe: Beating around the bush, "You know when you learned about magic?"
DJ: "Again I'm sorry for how I reacted." He shook his head at his past actions, he had literally, tried to throw bibles at Wyatt and Bianca trying to get them to read them, dragged Chris and Linn to church just to see if they were really good and when they didn't burn made them stay even though they both had hangovers and wanted to stay in bed, talked about poor kids in other countries with Parker and Nix trying to get them to make a spell to help everyone in the world getting both of them grounded after Parker did it, asked Pacey to heal some kid's leg when it broke during a game, learned he couldn't heal so he rushed over and asked Hank, he didn't understand the whole witches were bound by rules and they couldn't do certain things no matter how much they wanted to, though he understood quicker when his father grounded him until he got it. "But you should be happy to know I don't drag Chris and Linn to church anymore."
Lyn: Knowing her youngest daughter so well, "The only reason why you don't is because my youngest daughter is always passed out drunk with her best friend and waking them up is murder."
Piper: "Hey don't bad mouth my helpers."
Frank: "I can't believe that Lyn Jr. would rather cook for Pipes with Chris than ever cook for me."
Henry: "Might have to do with the fact that Chris is there, he is a little charmer like his father."
Piper: "Please I made the first move, Robin over there was too chicken." Calling her husband by his middle name.
Leo: Ran his hand through his hair, "Dear lord, I still haven't lived that down! Astrid over here likes to forget that I made up for it!"
Prue: "Don't expect her to neither, Andy hasn't forgiven me for not going to his first football game when we went to high school."
Andy: "It was the time I was going to ask you to date me!"
Prue: "It is not my fault that I had to deal with little sister problems."
Phoebe: "Hey I was busy kicking some punks ass for making a slight comment about my body."
Paige: Shook her head, "And you try to blame Paige on me."
Parker: limping her way into the room, "I love it when I get tossed around in this family no one ever wants to claim me, whenever I hang around Nix or any other girl in this family they pretend I'm not family and don't get me started on the men, before I was going to marry stupid Damian who is denying me sex, I couldn't date anyone but stupid DJ or David because they'd bring their over protective asses over there and ruin my dates. But if I try to talk to them at magic school oh no they had no idea who Paige Valentín even was! I knew I was adopted."
Coop: "Paige, quit overreacting."
Parker: Marching up to the coffee table, "I love how you didn't deny it." Picking up the book, "Excuse me I'm going to go blow up the attic."
Piper: "Then you don't need the book." Parker ignored her, "Paige!" She turned to Phoebe, "That's your stubborn ass daughter."
Phoebe: "Let's not get started on your stubborn ass daughter."
DJ: "Not to cut in, but can we get back to what you wanted to tell me?"
Frank: "Okay, DJ, best we just say it."
DJ: "Okay just say it."
Andy: "Somewhere in your family there is a gene though this gene doesn't affect you because you're male," DJ nodded his head to show that he was understanding him so far, "But this gene does affect Gabby, because she's female,"
DJ: "What are you trying to say?"
Eva: "DJ, your sister is magical."
DJ: "That's not possible, no one in my family is magical we're all mortal."
Derek: "Though that is true, but your dad has helped us with a lot of magical things over the years."
Piper: "One time he helped us with something that had to do with him leaving his body and getting into the ring with Leo in a champion fight he lost so Leo could escape don't worry nothing happened to him, but we think that the time away from his body might have done something to him and he must of took in magic somehow."
DJ: "Are you saying my dad is magical?"
Prue: "No, we talked about this, that he and you can't because you're males."
DJ: "Is she a witch? A demon what is she?"
Lyn: "She's—"
Frankie, Jay, and Gabby entered the room, all three of them laughing at something. They stopped walking and laughing as DJ turned his head slowly he took one look at Gabby and his mouth fell open.
Gabby: "DJ,"
DJ: He couldn't believe his eyes, "W-w-what are you wearing?"
Gabby: Looking down at herself she was dressed in armor and boots, and she thought she looked pretty cool, so strong in that armor hell, she felt it all this power that she never knew or thought she could ever have, and she was loving every second of it, "Magical armor,"
DJ: stood up, "Come here," She walked with him to the kitchen, "Why the hell are you wearing magical armor?"
Gabby: "DJ, I'm magical, did the sisters explain that?"
DJ: "They did but I mean," He looked at her almost as if she was a different person and not his baby sister his only sibling, "What are you?"
Gabby: "I'm a Valkyrie, only women can be one so you're safe I guess. Well I mean yea you're safe because I know you couldn't be magical you're not good at hiding things. Hell, you with powers is something no person on this planet things your ready for so don't worry you won't ever get any."
DJ: "You've lost your mind." Gabby said nothing and he started to pull out his hair, "You can't be a Valk-whatever the hell! Your supposed to be mortal like me, normal Gabby. Not…"
Gabby: Feeling some rage from out of nowhere, she knew he was going to find this hard but to act as if this was a curse as if she was a walking plague, "I'm not normal DJ, and there's nothing wrong with that!"
DJ: "I can't talk to you right now."
Gabby: "Why because you hate the fact that your little sister is magical? We both know that you have problems with magical people. I know that you just barely started trusting Damian again, because you just learned he was a demon, well I knew already because he trusted me, DJ, hell it isn't even about trust he knew I wouldn't freak out and call him names like you did." She shook her head, "You know, DJ, you only fear what you don't understand and you like not understanding things you think that it'll keep you safe in the end but it'll get you hurt. I unlike Damian won't just let you treat me any different because you don't understand me."
DJ was about to say something when the Halliwell cousins and Underwoods orbed into the room.
Damian: "Gabby?"
Gabby: "Excuse me, I have to go somewhere I'm trusted and liked." Sending her brother a hurt look, "Hell, understood."
DJ: Grabbed his head, "Crap, its 'turning into a woman' time all over again." Shook his head, "I get that she's going through changes doesn't she get I understand that this just came out of nowhere and I'd like a bit of time to wrap my head around this."
DJ walked out of the kitchen through the back door, Damian shook his head and followed him.
Reese: Out loud, "That was Gabby Morris?"
Hazel: "Yea, I'm going to go see what Parker is up to."
Riley: "I'll tag along."
Lex: As they left the kitchen, "Riley is trying to make a move on my sister!"
Hank: Grabbing his best friend in a side hug, "What have I told you, man? Us Halliwells…"
Lex: "Yea, yea, Hank, I know you Halliwells can be trusted with woman."
They walked into the living room.
Prue: "I still say it was your fault. Why the hell did you talk about making the first move?"
Leo: "Because I would like to be forgiven about not doing it."
Wyatt: Shook his head, "Not this again,"
Chris: "Why is it every time we walk into a room with all you people you're always talking about is the damn time this and that…"
Linn: "Chris don't get killed by our parents."
Victor: "Or grounded, you know your mom would love it if she grounded your old ass."
Piper: "Prue can you believe him, our father bad mouthing me?"
Prue: "Oh no, not Victor, he doesn't bad mouth anyone."
Eva: "I love how they all deny being sarcastic and pin the blame on Paige when they all are the same way."
Phoebe: "Eva, careful they're both crazy."
Reese: Got closer to Alex and whispered, "Yup, I feel like we're home already." She nodded and stopped a laugh.
Sam: "Family, let me introduce you," Pointing out who he was naming, "This is Aiden," He slightly waved, "Alice they're both twins."
Alice: "Regrettably."
Aiden: "Hey,"
Alice: "Come on, Aid you know I love you, you are just annoying sometimes. Like when you try and know everything."
Alex: "Overprotective ass is more like it. I can deal with nosiness that's not always a problem just tell him what you're up to and he'll leave you alone, he just wants to make sure you aren't in the Underworld looking for demons to kill for fun, but try and go on a date and he flips the fuck out." As her older brother threw her a look, "Who would say something so true?"
Reese: Laughed, "Good one, Lexi."
Sam: Shook his head but went on, "This is Alex and that's Reese, both are like Andrew and Paige, but worse."
Pacey: "No way someone is worse than Paige."
Parker: Walking into the room with Frankie and Jay, "See I knew it I was adopted!"
Jay: "Don't worry Parker we love you."
Parker: "Oh, Jr. Pacey, don't try and butter me up just so you can get into a piece of the action."
Frankie: "I don't think she wants our love, Jay, she thinks we're just saying things so we can join in the demon hunts."
Bianca: "Frank, you shouldn't even be allowed to leave your room much less join a union with Parker and her crazies."
Jay: Pulling Frankie to the side, "I think your sister wants us to join her band of crazies."
Frankie: "But I don't like going in places blind."
Jay: "Yes you do, we do it all the other times."
Frankie: "That's different we never had Gabby on our side when we did it."
Jay: "Gabby took care of herself nicely."
Reese: Walking next to them, "Except that was training and not real life."
Frankie: Turning to the kid who was his age, "Who are you?"
Jay: Sensing the good in him, "Chill, Frank."
Frankie: "He's got that look that screams I'm going to end up kicking his ass."
Reese: "I can already feel the love, name is Antony Reese Underwood and we're going to get along just great."
Jay: "Does he have that look that reminds you of Hazel?"
Frankie: "You mean that Oracle thingy?"
Jay: "Yup."
Reese: "That's because I am one." Looking around the room, "Where is Gabby anyway?"
Frankie: "In the front rethinking her family relations."
Reese: "We should help her, don't you think?"
Frankie: "Maybe she wants to be alone."
Reese: "No one ever wants to be alone."
The three of them sneaked out of the room.
Mel: "Parker, what's wrong with you?"
Parker: "I said I was adopted and no one said you aren't."
Derek: "We gave up on you seeing reason Parker."
Lex: "Where did you leave my sister and your brother?"
Parker: "Last time I saw them she was standing really close to Riley and they were talking about powers and then I think they were about to make out, because she kept giving him what us cupids like to call 'the look', you know when a person looks at another person with a hint of attraction and a hint of kiss me, but I could be wrong."
Lex: "HAZEL!"
Hazel: Walking down the stairs with Riley, "I still say I'm more right."
Riley: "But that doesn't make any sense I mean why, would a power bring so much burden yet so much power with it as well? Hell, look at Pacey he can see every past life he's ever lived in but that doesn't really help him when he needs it. So it only burden but your power it's almost like both, but why?"
Hazel: "Haven't you ever heard of Spiderman and that quote that has been forever ruined?"
Riley: With a full grin, "I love you, Marry Jane?"
Hazel: Shook her head, "Not the one I was going to say,"
Lex sighed as he felt their emotions attraction was very much there and so much more. He shook his head he knew that though Riley liked his sister but that didn't mean he wouldn't hurt her, and he had always felt protective of his little twin, he felt that it was his job to protect her from everything and that included heartache though he knew he might have been stopping happiness from growing.
Nix: Leaned close to him, "Let her be, maybe this is Alex's father maybe, this is her guy her soul mate."
Lex: "Woman, you are turning me soft."
Nix: "You were already like that before I got here."
Lex smiled.
Prue: "I'll introduce us then, I'm Prue this is my husband Andy and we are the parents of Andrew,"
Pacey: "My parents like to forget that I don't go by Andrew."
Parker: Whispered to Mel and Bella, "Because he's short, and uncle Andy is tall."
Pacey: "Hey I heard that!"
Parker: "Prove me wrong."
Pacey: "Always picking on me."
Parker: "How else am I supposed to show you I love you twin from another mother?"
Pacey: hugging her, "Parky, you're you again I've missed you!"
Parker: "Andrew, you are killing me watch the knee!"
Phoebe: Shook her head, "I'm Phoebe and I happen to be the mother of that one over there, Riley and two other people, my husband over here is named Coop."
Riley got a small smile on his face because she had just claimed him as her own.
Piper: "I'm Piper mother of Wyatt, Chris and Melinda, Leo is my husband."
Mel: "Mom we talked about this, don't call me Melinda."
Piper: "Why do you kids not like your first names?"
Wyatt: "I don't have a problem with mine. Except that everyone likes to make fun of my name because I happen to be named after Dad's last name, but other than that I love Wyatt."
Bianca: "Self centered ass."
Wyatt: turned to her, "Be quiet you know you love Wyatt too."
Bianca: "That's why I call you Wy, Wyatt."
Wyatt: "You just called me Wyatt."
Bianca: "Oh brother."
Chris: "Mine is too long, plus Christopher is old fashioned."
Piper: "Your grandfather was born before War world one."
Leo: "Great you're making jokes to my age again."
Wyatt: "Come on old man you know we love you."
Aiden: Looked at Sam, "Before War World one?"
Sam: "Leo was a whitelighter when he first met Piper, they fell in love, and years later after some hardships, they had Wyatt and after some other things they had Chris then they had Mel, Leo is now an Elder, though he is less of a pain in the ass."
Paige: "I'm Paige the fun one," She saw the looks her sister sent her, "What? They should know I'm the fun one."
Nix: "Mom, you're not that fun."
Hank: "I won't comment,"
Henry: "Smart man."
Paige: "I never grounded your ass when you were younger,"
Nix: "Then you're the cool one, Aunt Phoebe is the fun one."
Parker: Still being hugged by Pacey, "No she's not, she always tries to ground me for nothing!"
Pacey: "Parker its always for something, you and me are bad together."
Parker: "You aren't allowed to come to my wedding anymore."
Pacey: "But I'm the bridesmaid."
Parker: "I forgot we did buy you that dress, so you can come again."
Bella: "Excuse me?" She turned to her boyfriend, "A dress Andrew?"
Pacey: "It is not a dress." He turned to his cousin, "It better not be a dress, PARKER!"
Parker: "All I have to say is you better shave your legs."
Wyatt: Shook his head, "Mom why was Gabby wearing armor?"
Piper: "Because she's a Valkyrie."
Emily: "See why didn't mom get with one of those?"
Bella: "Because Valkyries are only women and because dad found her first."
Emily: "We don't have any powers that pack punches."
Bella: "No we do you just ignore dad when he talks about elf magic."
Emily: "I can't take anything he says when he's dressed in that elf suit seriously."
Bella: "And they call you mature."
Nix: "Why do you think she's dating my brother?"
Hank: "I am mature."
Emily: "No you aren't, which is why I love you."
Hank: "Did I ever tell you the joke about the tree and the man?"
Emily: "No."
Eva: Shook her head at those two, "I'm Eva and I'm the mother of Damian, Lex, and Hazel, married to this lug over here,"
Derek: Smiled to her, "I love you too."
Lex: "It's always fun to see your parents try to make out in front of you."
Derek: "I don't want to hear you talk you and Nix used to date and used to make out in front of us all the time."
Lex: "That's different, it wasn't gross when we used to do it."
Nix shook her head.
Lyn: "I'm mother to Bianca, Linn, and Frank married sadly to Mr. Hunter over there."
Bianca: "Dad, what did you do to mom now?"
Frank: "I might have woke her up for the hell of it."
Lyn: "No you woke me up to go on a hunt."
Frank: "You know before the kids you loved hunting."
Lyn: "Before the kids you weren't fat."
Frank: Faking hurt, "We talked about this you can't make fun of my fatness."
Lyn: "See what I have to put up with?"
Wyatt: "See that's what it was like being married to Bianca."
Bianca: "Yes, I made fun of your fat all the time, Wyatt."
Wyatt: "It's not fat!"
Piper: "Ignoring my oldest son now, why did you guys bring them here?"
Mel: "Well, we knew that if we wanted to deal with the dog who was after Riley we'd need their help."
Prue: "How did you figure that?"
Nix: Taking the book from Parker, "Well, I was doing research and I found the animal, his name Monstrum, means monster in English it says that he isn't supposed to be working for the source, but if his master is evil then so is he," Kept reading, "He follows every order his master gives him and he doesn't stop until he completes it."
Phoebe: "So he won't stop until he kills Riley."
Riley: "Yes and no," They looked at him, "The Source sent someone to command him to kill me but she herself didn't do it."
Bella: "What are you thinking Riley?"
Riley: "Nothing never mind." He looked away, if the source told the dog to kill him, then he was a goner but if it had just been the Seer he was in the clear he really needed to talk to Valentine and everyone else, he needed to inform them of the return of the Seer. He more likely was pulling the Source's strings, that's what Seers always did.
Andy: "So what are your powers?"
Aiden: "It's better if I show you." He cracked his fingers and shook his hands and held them close together and soon electricity started to form in between them, he shut his hands and it disappeared, "I can also control thunder you know when it's raining I can make it thunder."
Alice: "My turn." She closed her eyes and put out her hands and suddenly ice started to form itself on her palms, "I can control ice,"
Hank: "Parker can too."
Parker: "No I can only form it, she can control it." Saw as Alice used her hands to form a little dancer, "That's pretty cool."
Alex: She circled her hands over each other and fire started to form, "Fire control."
Leo: "You're elemental witches."
Aiden: "Yes,"
Phoebe: "So, their version of power of three is different than ours."
Alice: "I can answer that, ours is different than yours because you get your power of three from Melinda Warren but we get ours from a different Warren."
Pacey: "His named wouldn't happen to be Drew Warren would it?"
Alice: "It is."
Parker: Laughed, "Oh that's just funny."
Sisters: "What?"
Parker: "Pacey, care to explain your past self?"
Pacey: "I was Drew Warren, and I was married to a woman named Rachel, but I didn't love her, I loved another, her name was Alexandra Underwood."
Aiden: "That's one of our great times ten grandmothers. And who Alex is named after."
Alex: "Great I'm named after a home wrecker, ironic I think not."
Pacey: "Yes, so I had an affair and she became pregnant I wanted to do the right thing but she was already promised to some man who was wrong for her."
Bella: "You let her leave?"
Pacey: "I wasn't going to I was going to run away with her, but before I could get a chance to, she ran away to Los Angeles without me I spent the rest of that life searching for her, but I, he never found her again."
Parker: "Drew is the witch that they get their powers from, he was an elemental witch."
Alex: "I always knew our family was very unfaithful."
Aiden: Sighed, "Alex,"
Alex: "Look I know you like to pretend that dad cheating on your mom doesn't affect us but face facts Aiden we're not really related. Your mom isn't my mom. We don't look that much alike."
Paige: "That doesn't matter really because the magic your father has it was given to you and through him you are bound together forever."
Sam: "Trust that she knows what she's talking about, she's gone through it too."
Piper: "Except it didn't take mom's death for the truth to come out, we learned about Paige later in life, and you guys…"
Aiden: "Alex grew up with us we always thought she was our sister. Except one day mom was drunk or mad or both and she just started to tell us the truth and Dad didn't deny any of it."
Alice: turned to Alex, "Even so she is our sister."
Alex: "I know that I'm your sister, it's just sometimes I don't feel like I really am, dad's gone and he was the only thing that tied us together well him and magic but I don't want to just be tied together by magic."
Alice: "You're not, you're bound to us by love, too Alex, like Aiden told you we don't love you any less now that we know the truth."
Alex: "You promise?"
Aiden: "Oh yea."
She smiled to him.
-New Scene-
Gabby was sitting on the front steps of the manor she was wearing her normal clothes looking down at her hands, in them was a Valkyrie necklace, if she pushed the gem in the middle then she would turn back into her Valkyrie form if she took it off she was normal again almost as if she was powerless but even without the necklace she could still feel the power that ran in her veins. She shook her head she didn't understand why DJ didn't understand that this wasn't something to be ashamed about this was a gift a huge one.
Reese: "He's just confused, he doesn't know what he says and that it's hurting you whenever he looks at you the way he did."
Gabby: turned to find Frankie Jay and some new guy standing next to each other the new guy was cute, he had light blue eyes and short curly black hair. "So you're the new guy huh?"
Reese: "Antony, but you all call me Reese,"
Jay: sat down next to her, "You okay?"
Gabby: "I knew he was going to have a hard time with this, but I didn't know it was going to be this hard."
Frankie: Sitting on the other side of her, "You know when I first told this girl I was magical she laughed at me, called me crazy and told me she never wanted to see me again."
Gabby: "What does that have to do with me and DJ?"
Jay: "You told someone you were magical?"
Frankie: "Next day she called me up and said she was sorry, she didn't mean to call me crazy it was just a shock, you know you being magical doesn't sound real."
Jay: "Was it Lorie?"
Frankie: Ignoring his best friend, "Anyway, we got to talking and I found out she was magical too, she had thought that I was making fun of her."
Gabby: "DJ isn't magical."
Jay: "So it was Lorie?"
Reese: "I think what he means is, right now you're feeling like DJ will never look at you the same, he made some comments and you made some too, but he's your brother things happen but nothing changes that." He sat down on the lower steps, "Look when I was younger I was scared of my powers, I thought that I was going to hurt anyone I touched, I thought that I was going to burn my room and everything near me. I even wore gloves for a week, that was until my sister Alex had a chat with me, she told me, that even though I was different, than her and my older siblings that they loved me for me. I'm not like them, I mean Alex may not be fully related to Alice and Aid or me but they're like each other, they are elemental witches while me, I can mess with molecules, and I'm an Oracle. If I get angry or upset my hands turn red and they can burn through anything, I once burned my sister Alice when I was lying about not being afraid of some demon that scared the holly crap out of me. I mean come on anyone would be afraid of a guy that jumps out of your closet at two in the morning screaming death to witches." The teens nodded, "Look what I'm trying to say is, I know right now you think that your relationship with your brother will forever be destroyed, but truth be told he loves you and you love him yes right now he's confused but I promise you when he sees the error of his ways he'll come running to help you deal with your new responsibilities."
Gabby: "You're right,"
Frankie: "Can you really burn things with your hand and not make fire through it?"
Reese: "Yea, conjured an athame," Frankie conjured one and handed it to Reese, he closed his eyes and thought of things that angered him, learning that his sister Alex wasn't completely his, learning that he couldn't go to magic school because his father didn't want him to go, learning that his father was dead and knowing somehow he could have stopped it if he hadn't been drunk that night, suddenly the athame was being melted away in his hand, "See."
Frankie: Took the athame that no longer had a blade, "That's fucking cool,"
Jay: "So because you're an Oracle you know?"
Reese: "About the prophecy, yea, I know and don't worry I'm in."
Frankie: "I think this is going to be a kick ass partnership don't you agree?"
Others: "Yea!"
-New Scene-
Aiden: looked down at his watch then turned to Alice who smiled to him. "We're going to do this."
Alice: "What following in mom and dad's footsteps?"
Aiden: "Yea,"
Alice: "Why do you act as if that's a bad thing?"
Aiden: "Isn't it?"
Alice: "Aren't you dating this girl named Claire James who happens to be a demon?"
Aiden: "That's different, hey you know let's stop talking about my dates let's talk about you and your Logan Jax."
Alice: "Very funny, Aiden,"
Nix: "Who's Logan Jax?"
Alex: "Our whitelighter, that has a huge crush on Alice and who Alice thinks has a nice ass."
Parker: Looking at Chris, "That isn't going to work,"
Chris: "It will it'll call him from where ever he is and he'll be forced to come."
Pacey: "I feel a little bad for this guys, I mean we're killing a dog,"
Hank: "Pacey, you can't think like that,"
Lex: "Yea, do you want him to kill, Mr. Flirty?"
Hazel: "Lex, what the hell is the matter with you?"
Lex: "I don't like the way he looks at you."
Hazel: "Lex, let's get something straight, Derek Lexton Nicoli-Tiernan, I don't say anything to you about the girls you've dated before Nix, hell I never insult your brain nor have I ever said anything about your love life, look he isn't perfect, he's half demon and he's got issues of the heart and he is somewhat scared of commitment, but he accepts me for me."
Lex: "Okay but me and him, are going to have a talk about if he hurts you I will rip his man parts to pieces."
Hazel: "Fine even though he won't hurt me for a long time coming,"
Lex: "I hate your power."
Hazel: "Me too, Lex, but I promise he's my guy just like Nix is your girl."
Lex: "I can't fault that reasoning."
Wyatt: "Do we have the potion and spell?"
Chris: "Yes we just need Parker to leave now, and Riley to get here now."
Parker: "I'm not going anywhere."
Hank: Picked up his baby cousin, "Come on, Paige, time to go hang with the parents."
Parker: "This isn't fair!"
Hank: Carried her out of the attic, "Come on, Park, you know you love us!"
Parker: "Put me down, Gorilla!"
Pacey: shook his head at his cousin, "I don't envy Hank right now."
Bella: "Why would you envy him? He's dating Emily, and I've heard that she's half elf."
Emily: "You're half elf too."
Bella: "You forget that I don't mind being half elf."
Emily: "I still don't see how it's something to be proud of."
Bella: "You just haven't learned that acid powder that dad was teaching us and now you're mad about it."
Emily: "It's not my fault I suck at being an elf hell whenever the elves are having trouble I make Parker go deal with them."
Alice: "You know elves?"
Bella: "Me and Emily happen to be part elf."
Aiden: "Really, but you're our height?"
Emily: "We're half witch."
Alex: "Excuse my brother he works in art. Otherwise known as brainless."
Pacey: "You work in art? I'm an artist."
Aiden: "I'm an Art dealer I go around the world buy expensive art for clients."
Pacey: "How cool is that job?"
Aiden: "Pretty cool, all expenses paid,"
Alex: Shook her head, "Men and their art."
Mel: "What do you work in Alex?"
Alex: "By day I'm a college student by night I go to Shimmer to get inspiration, I'm trying to write a novel it has yet to work out well writers block is all I'm saying,"
Mel: "I'm a reporter and trust me sometimes I just want to bang my head against the desk."
Alex laughed.
Linn: "What do you do Alice?"
Alice: "I'm a bartender at Shimmer."
Bianca: "So, Claire let's you work there even though she's a demon and you're a witch?"
Alice: "Claire and Sebastian aren't like other demons, you may not believe this but they're pretty cool and nice."
Wyatt: "We believe you my best friend is a demon," Looking around the room, "Where is Damian?"
-New Scene-
Riley was sitting on the sofa tapping his hand on the coffee table, wondering what his mother wanted to talk about; she had pulled him out of the attic and asked him to join her in the living room alone. So, there they were silence surrounded them and neither one of them knew what to talk about. Riley wanted nothing more than anything to tell her the truth, but he knew Valentine didn't want that, she didn't know how to be accepted by her.
Valentine had only ever dealt with a mother who died early and younger Phoebe both were nothing like this Phoebe. She lived longer than his mother and she was more wiser than younger Phoebe, so maybe this Phoebe would see through his not being raised here in her reality and see that he was her son Coop. Phoebe was standing in front of him she smiled to him and wondered how much like Cole he really was, she could look into his eyes and see that not all of him was like Cole she could see some of herself in him too, and that made her want to smile. She sat down next to him.
Phoebe: "So, Riley, did you find a place to stay?"
Riley: He looked down to his hands he didn't know how to talk to her, he could talk to anyone but her, including his dad, but to talk to Phoebe it hurt, she his mother had passed away, the Coop from Valentine's present had never died, but Riley had lost his mother and that pain didn't go away, but here she was as if she had never died, though here reminded himself she never died. Ryan had never killed her he had never turned evil. "No,"
Phoebe: She nodded to herself, as if confirming something, "Tell me about yourself."
Riley: "Well I'm allergic to peanuts, highly scared of the dark, uh, I'm kick ass with spells, I couldn't make a potion to save my life but my spells work all the time. And I'm half Cole."
Phoebe: "You can change your form?"
Riley: "Well…" he sighed and nodded his head, "Yea, I can."
Phoebe: "Show me,"
Riley: "I don't think…"
Phoebe: She put her hand over his, "Show me,"
He nodded and stood up, he closed his eyes and suddenly his formed changed he was still wearing the same clothes as before but his skin color was dark red skin with black dark circles around his eyes, his hair was grown out long and his nails long and black.
The sisters walked into the room.
Prue: "Phoebe watch out."
Phoebe: Stood up, "It's okay, I asked him to do it." She stood up and walked over to Riley, "What is your name?"
Riley: "My name is Riley,"
Piper: "So unlike Cole you control the monster?"
Riley: "We are one, if I get vanquished so does the human side, so does the witch side, we all feel pain and we all feel love."
Phoebe: "You look like Cole but you aren't him, do you understand Riley?"
Riley: turned back to his human form, "Do you really mean that?"
Phoebe: Touched his face, "I do."
Riley: "You don't know how much I feared you might think that I'm like Cole, I thought maybe if she thought I was like Cole that maybe I should stay away that I would live with you that I'd pretend that it didn't hurt when I…" he looked down, "Victor and Sam said I could call them both Grandpas, and Parker's been nice so have the other cousins, Coop even let me call him Coop and I just… I don't know what to you call you but I don't want to pressure you into anything, I'm not but I would like…" He looked away from her and, "I could never turn evil because I'd rather die, but there is always potential for me to change,"
Phoebe: "Riley, I know you're not like Cole, and I know that you're good. And I know that you're scared because you don't know what I'm feeling."
Riley: "I do I am an empath like you."
Phoebe: "Then you know I love the idea of having another son."
Riley: "You mean that too?"
Phoebe: Nodding her head, "You can call me mom," She smiled at his smile and though she didn't know why it reminded her of Coops, "I want you to stay here, Riley."
Riley: "What will Ryan say?"
Phoebe: "He'll get mad but he'll get over it, look, Riley, I owe you a family, I know that living with Cole…"
Riley: "He was great, he helped me understand myself, and I miss him everyday, I didn't tell Coop because I don't want you to think that I'm like him."
Phoebe: hugged him, "Hey Cole was a good man, he just lost his way, but I promise you I won't let you lose your way."
Riley: "Thanks mom."
Phoebe smiled she liked the way that sounded.
Elder: "Excuse me, but I need to cut it."
They both pulled apart from each other, the sister got closer to Phoebe and Riley.
Piper: "Way to ruin a happy family reunion."
Elder: "I did not mean to, but I and the other Elders feel as if we as well owe Mr. Halliwell a gift."
Riley: "What kind of gift?"
Elder: "Us Elders feel somewhat responsible for you not coming here earlier."
Paige: "Of course you had something to do with him not coming,"
Elder: Ignoring Paige's comment, "So, we are willing to imprint you the knowledge of what has happened in this reality, you know historical events family issues a list of powers and a job."
Riley: "You'd zap into my mind everything that has happened in this world as if what I was a part of it?"
Elder: "No, as if someone showed you what happened."
Riley: "Okay, I'll take the offer, but what type of job? Because I don't want to be a janitor."
Elder: "Anything you wish."
Riley: Got a smile on his face, "Anything?" Seconds later Riley shook his head. "Man that hurt, everything is moving again."
Piper: "Here drink this."
Riley: "Thanks,"
Prue: "So what did you choose?"
Riley: Drinking the potion it helped calm his head, "You're looking at a firefighter."
Paige: "Really?"
Riley: "Yes, I always thought they were cool, I mean they are the definition of hero, of good."
Phoebe: Shook her head at her son, "I know you'll be the best firefighter ever."
Riley: "Thanks, mom, I will be."
-New Scene-
DJ was sitting in his apartment looking down at his empty shot glass. Damian walked into the room and shut the door; he turned to find his friend in his living room getting drunk.
Daman: "Dude, why the hell are you here getting drunk instead of talking to Gabby?"
DJ: Poured more liquor into his shot glass, "Well let me see, my sister is magical, she thinks that because I've had misgivings with magical beings the main one being you, that I can't understand her, that I look at her differently." He drank the shot, "But let's speak the truth, the real reasons I'm here in my dimly lit apartment is because I've come to the realization that all us older siblings come to. I can't fight her battles for her anymore, and I have to face the truth that demons will always be after her and there's nothing I can do to help her, because I'm just a mortal."
Damian: Took a seat next to him, "I know what you're going through."
DJ: "But you're magical you get to go out there and fight alongside them, you get to protect them from demons that want their heads on sticks."
Damian: Poured himself a shot, "When I found out Hazel was an Oracle I was shitting bricks I can't help her with that power, it's something hardly found and to find a gypsy with that power is even more rare." He looked "I felt helpless, hell she has nightmares and I'm just supposed be okay with that, I can't be, no matter how much I have to be. It's my job as her brother to protect her, and now that she has that power, I couldn't fight the future hell I couldn't stop her waking up night after night screaming, I could just help her deal with it, day by day."
DJ: Poured his friend a drink, "Talk about being helpless."
Damian: Clicked glasses with him, "Yea." He drank the shot, "But I do it everyday, help her in other ways, she falls in love I make sure the guy is a good one hell the one she deserves. Some things in this world we can help them with, trust me Gabby is going to need you more than ever, she has to tell your folks and you know how your parents get when something concerns Gabby."
DJ: "What are you saying?"
Damian: "Help her explain what she's is now," he put down the glass, "It's the only thing as her brother that you can control, helping her when she needs it."
He shimmered away and DJ looked to his glass shaking his head he jumped up and rushed out the door knowing Damian was right.
-New Scene-
Parker looked at her Aunt Piper who was standing next to the oven making tea for the rest of the Aunts. Lyn was looking through the book just for fun; Frank, Coop, and Derek were looking at the television watching a poker game while Leo, Henry, and Andy were talking about something. Pierce in Henry's arms was playing with a necklace his father had on.
Valentine: "This is nice, just sitting around doing nothing."
Parker: Rolled her eyes, "Your sarcasm is just a real super treat to listen to every freaking second of the day."
Valentine: "Why are we butting heads so much?"
Parker: Listing the reason on her fingers, "Let me think, one you're hiding something from me and you think I'm too stupid to know that you're hiding something even though I'm not stupid. Two you just get the anger out of me for no reason, three I'm right handed when all I've ever been my whole life was left handed and oh yeah, you annoy the holy hell out of me just by saying one word, Paige, as if it is a disgrace to be known by Paige."
Valentine: "At least you have pride in your name but let's not lie you're angry with me because of something else."
Parker: "Max,"
Valentine: "What about him?"
Parker: "Well when someone wakes up thinking about one of their best friends in a romantic setting it sort of makes them grossed out, but I can't be grossed out because I feel half of your feelings."
Valentine: "We were in love, you know."
Parker: "And then you learned he didn't love you he was playing you, yeah I saw that memory too."
Valentine: "Sometimes, Paige, you have no idea what it's like, to have grown through so much, you have it so sweet, I've died every second I see you with Damian, when all you are is a replacer."
Parker: "Yea I know that, but the thing is, Valentine I'm here and I'm not going anywhere,"
Valentine: "Neither am I."
Parker: "Now why would you have to go and say some hurtful things like that?"
Henry: cutting off Parker's talks with Valentine, "Parks," She turned to him, "Can I ask you something, and you promise not to give me hell for asking?"
Parker: "I never give you hell, Uncle Henry, remember you like me."
Henry: looking at Pierce who was eating his necklace, "Anyway, so I've been wondering," She blinked waiting for him to finish, "When exactly is this wedding of yours going to happen?"
Parker: "In two weeks and I can't wait for it to be over with."
Andy: Shaking his head, only Parker would say that she couldn't wait till it was over with and not for it to get there, "Any reason?'
Parker: "One, because I can't go visit Damian in the night because people named Silver think we can't keep our hands off each other, which isn't true, I can keep my hands to myself, and also because she is annoying I don't know if you know this, Uncle Andy, but Piper can be a controlling bitch."
Paige: "I've said the same thing about your Aunt." Piper shot her baby sister a look. "What? you can be annoying."
Phoebe: "Not as annoying as Prue."
Parker: Cutting off her Aunt Prue from getting into a fight with her mom, "I find it odd how I say one thing about my sister and that gets them fighting."
Leo: "Trust me, Parker, you get over it quickly."
Lyn: Looking up from the book, "How does anyone find demons in this book?"
Eva: "Doesn't it have a table of contents?"
Prue: Shaking her head and flipping the page, "No, this book needs to be organized better, it doesn't even have page numbers, how the hell the kids find demons, I don't know."
Parker: "Oh that's easy we look in the index." They all looked at her as if she was crazy, "What?"
Phoebe: "Are you sure you didn't hit your head and not your leg?"
Parker: Rubbing her head, "I did hit it a little but…"
Prue: "Parker, there isn't an index."
Parker: "Yes there is," She reaches for the book and moves to the last page, "See index," She points to the page's title.
Piper: Walking up, "When was there an index?"
Parker: "Grandma wrote it one of the times Grams was off yelling at me or one of the guys."
Phoebe: "And why didn't she tell us about it?"
Parker: "Because you people are retired?"
The men laughed.
Eva: "Phoebe, I don't think I like your daughter."
Phoebe: "I've heard that before."
Coop: "Hey don't bad mouth my little demon just because she speaks the truth. And you old ladies can't handle the fact the kids have taken over your jobs."
Prue: smirking at her brother-in-law, "Says the man that sent his two oldest to live in New York City so they wouldn't take his title of best cupid of the west."
Coop: "Hey I didn't send Ryan and Silver anywhere they wanted to leave, something about their mother being a little bit attached to them at the hip, the only kid, of mine that could take over my job is Parker and she hates being a cupid I'm safe."
Parker: Smiles to her father, "Thanks daddy. And I don't hate being a cupid it's just the people the cupids force me to make love each other sometimes shouldn't be together or have given up on love, Wyatt and B is all I'm saying."
Leo: "The cupids asked you to fix those two?"
Parker: "They didn't ask me, I asked to be assigned to them, they were going to put it on a newbie but I felt sorry for the guy. I love Wy and B and I don't even want to touch their love lives."
Lyn: "Well, at least we know in your hands everything should be fine."
Parker: "Yup, I'm going to play hard ball with both of them and if they don't like it tough shit I'm about tired of their stupid mood swings and goo-goo eyes, hell after them I'm going to finish Chris and Linn I'm very close to getting Chris to see that Linn likes him, once I get him to open his eyes he'll begging me to either stop setting her up on dates or set her up with him."
Piper: "And you think that is going to work? You know your cousin."
Parker: "That is exactly why it will work, because I know Perry very well and once I lay my trap they'll all fall down!" She did an evil laugh. "Hell, if you need proof of my evilness ask Bella if Biff was real and ask Pacey who gave him the idea to ask Hazel to be his fake girlfriend and they think I don't do anything for them."
Coop: "That's my little demon."
Derek: "I find it funny how Coop calls Parker little demon and Silver mini princess."
Parker: "Uncle Derek, don't you go around and making my dad change my nickname he knows me just fine, besides who the hell wants to be called mini princess? I eat mini princesses for breakfast." She smirked, "And they're tasty too."
Mel: "Great we leave Paige alone with the folks for a second and here she is speaking ill of our nicknames."
Nix: "Speak for yourself I'm so unloved that I don't have a nickname."
Henry: "Sure you do, Nix, it's who the hell is that girl?"
Paige: hit the back of her husband's head, "Will you quit teasing her? She is going to think we love her less than Hank and Emma."
Nix: "You do love me less."
Paige: "Baby girl, you know that isn't true. I love you a tiny bit more; you remind me of me, so don't go around getting any ideas of me loving you less. Yes, I like to tease you because I know you don't take anything I say to the heart." She turned to her husband, "Henry do you want to tell our baby girl anything?"
Henry: "What? She knows I love her, I'd kill for Nixie, hell where do you think you got your nickname from Hank? I laugh at that though. Yes Hank couldn't say Phoenix to save his life and Phoebe was even harder, he called your Aunt Phoebe, Phee, and he was starting to call you that too, but I told the big gorilla he couldn't call you Phee and your sister Poo, see that's how all you kids called your Aunt Prue, Poo." He laughed at that and Prue glared at him. "What? Prue, you love me."
Prue: "No, I only keep you around because Paige likes you if she didn't I would have gotten rid of you years ago."
Piper: "You can't get rid of Henry then who would tell us jokes?"
Henry: "Exactly!"
Nix: "Well seeing as no one calls me Phee and Emma isn't Poo," she laughed at that, "but that is funny, who gave him the idea to call me Nix?"
Henry: "That was me, I said Hank Jr., call your older sister Emma, but he could only manage Em, then I said call your baby sister Nix and he could manage that how he couldn't mange Emma I don't know he's not so bright," He turned to Pierce, "Please be smarter than your older brother, okay bud?"
Nix: "Of course he's going to be smarter than Hank." She picked up her baby brother, "Right? Brainy, you're the smart child."
Parker: "Nix, we spoke about this his name is Pierce."
Nix: "I like Brainy."
Leo: "You know we love you a lot right, Mel?"
Mel: "Dad, I'm your favorite I know I'm loved."
Parker: "Anyway, what are you hookers doing here?"
Nix: "We were going to bring you to the attic party but if you want to sulk about your knee with the old people we will leave you."
Parker: Hearted right next to her cousins, "What's this leave Paige you speak of how mean can you be to me in one day? You already kicked me out of the attic so I have no clue what the game plan even is or if we even have a game plan." Sending them both looks, she had left her lackeys with Wyatt and he didn't even know the meaning of the word 'plan' much less prepare, "We do have a game plan right?" She sighed in relief once they nodded their heads; "Thank god, I thought leaving you lackeys alone with Andrew and Wyatt would mean the end of all my hard work."
Derek: "What hard work?"
Parker: "Do you know how hard it is to get these pack of wild animals to listen to me? They judge me because of my age."
Nix: "You know, I don't like it when you get hurt, you always whine afterwards."
Parker: moving the crushes under her arms, "I have weapons!"
Mel: Smiled, "Just zip it and come on."
Nix: Handed her brother to her father, "Here, Dad, take brainy."
-New Scene-
Frank: walked into magic school as if he owed the place, Jay on his right side and Reese on his left. "This is magic school," Turning to Reese, "Are you sure you've never been here?"
Reese: Looking around the school mesmerized, the hallways were empty right now because school time was over with, even so in his mind he could see it all, how students rushed to class with smiles on their faces ready and willing to learn more about magic. A smile formed on his face, "Only in my dreams."
Jay: "It's not like Harry Potter or anything, we don't fly on broomsticks."
Reese: "I figured that."
Frankie: "So, Reese, how do you like being related to powerful beings?"
Reese: "They're down to earth I can remember when Aiden used to beat me when it was my birthday. And Alice used to and still does make me soup when I get sick, not to mention me and Lexi get into trouble all the time."
Jay: "Awe birthday socks, and soup."
Frankie: "Yea painful."
Jay: "You have two sisters."
Frankie: "Have you met my sisters? One teaches defense class the other would kick my ass with words and has."
Jay: Shaking his head, "Child abuse is very tragic."
Reese: Entered the library, it was filled with different books his eyes wide, "Wow, what a collection."
Frankie: "You like to read?"
Reese: "Different cultures of magic interest me, I mean it's cool Jay is half whitelighter and your full phoenix and look at Gabby she's a freaking Valkyrie, and I'm an Oracle but look at us we have banded together or at least have to band together to help save this person who's lost her soul this is freaking cool."
Jay: Laughs, "Looks like we found our researcher."
Reese: Smiled, "So I'm in then right?"
Jay: "Yea you seem like a cool guy, why not?"
Frankie shook his head he could see the trouble they were going to get into.
-New Scene-
Parker: turned to her family and sent them all a sarcastic smile, "So we've all lost our minds then?"
Wyatt: "Parker, I know you don't like this plan, but be happy we made a plan."
Parker: Blinked and turned to her older cousins and their friends, "You listened to him do you understand how wrong that is? Wyatt you listened to Wyatt he didn't learn how to tie his shoes until he was seven!" She turned to her older-older cousins, "You people should be ashamed of yourselves listening to a stupid teddy bear!" She turned to her brother who was staring off into space, "And you, I thought you had more of a brain! No I find out you are just like Ryan and Silver, clueless!"
Nix: Knew she would behave this way, the plan wasn't that great, "Are you done?"
Parker: "Sadly yes, but only because my arms hurt," She sat down on the sofa and rubbed her arms, "I hate crushes."
Wyatt: Cracked his neck, " Alrighty," He turned to his brother, "Chris, do the honors."
Riley: "Shouldn't I do the honors? He is after me."
Chris: "Let's just risk you getting hurt not your life," He unfolded the paper, "Bad enough we're letting you be in the room, if it was up to Parker you'd be downstairs with the Aunts."
Parker: "What I like newbie." Riley threw her a look, "I give everyone nicknames, right now Newbie is yours, give me time and you shall gain a real one,"
Pacey: Under his breath, "Just hope that she doesn't name you after an imperfection, her nicknames stick."
Parker: "Oh zip it, Fatty, you know you like your nickname."
Chris: Rolled his eyes and started to read the spell, "Monstrum beast of monsters beast of hate and rage we summon you here and now come monster of monsters." He turned to give his older brother a look, "Why did we let Wyatt write the spell?"
Wyatt: "Because it works."
Bianca: Was about to say it didn't work when Monstrum shimmered into the room, though he looked a little different, there was a hidden kindness in his eyes unseen before, Riley turned to look at him confused, again he knew only he saw the kindness in the evil dog's eyes, for only he himself had ever been in his position, "Well look at that it worked."
Aiden: Holding the potion in his hands, "Let's get this over with I have an art gallery to get too."
Alice: "And I have work."
Alex: "And I have a beer waiting for me."
They went to throw the potion when out of nowhere Vanquish ran into the room.
Nix: "Pacey, control the dog."
Pacey: "Two times in a week he's gotten up."
Parker: Sat up, "Both when Monstrum was here."
Pacey: Walked over to Vanquish, "Come on boy, it's okay, we're going to deal with him I promise he won't hurt anyone."
But Vanquish wouldn't budge he just kept looking back at Monstrum something in his eyes caught Riley's. He took a step closer to both dogs.
Hazel: "Riley."
Riley: "It's okay." Something hit him and he focused his mind on reading Vanquish's and soon he was left opened mouthed. But he knew what he had to do. "Don't kill him, he's bound to kill me by the Queen of the Underworld, but he doesn't really understand why she wants me dead."
Linn: "You can talk to dogs?"
Riley: "No, at least I haven't been able to do that until now." He walked over to Vanquish the dog looked into his eyes, "He says their brothers, him and Monstrum, that they've been destined to protect us Halliwells, he says that Monstrum has just lost his way, and is trying to get the Queen to the side she belongs too…" He looked confused, "Our side…," He bent down and looked at the other dog, "I don't understand if she should be here then why did she agree to live down there if she wants to come home? Then why damn herself for eternity? Or at least for however long we have left?"
The dog looked deeper into his eyes and Riley found his answer.
Mel: She gulped, "What's the Queen's name?"
Riley: "He doesn't know it, he just knows she hates it, being the queen. At first he thought she loved it, that the power was the thing that kept her there, that the idea of love held her to the crown but now torturing the demons has even gotten boring for her, it's almost as if she's being used almost as if she's forced to stay there though that is not what her heart desires." He looked back at Monstrum, "She needs me dead, does she not?"
Valentine: Took hold of Parker, she had been fighting for control, not because she wanted to take over but she wanted to talk to her brother for a second, before he gave his life for another Halliwells, he may have been half demon but he had the honor of a lion, "Riley."
Riley: Looked up to her and he saw her blue eyes, "Don't worry I didn't fight my way out of that place just to die here, but I have an idea. One that benefits; your Queen, you and us," He turned to Bianca, "Can you give me an athame?" She summoned one and handed it to him, he cracked his neck and his knuckles taking in a deep breath he cut a piece of his palm and his skin sliced off, "That hurt a lot more than I thought it would have," Again he cracked his neck his back on his family, he shape shifted his hand into his alter ego Balthazar Jr. and again he cut his palm and his flesh fell down he turned his hand back to normal and picked up his flesh and put it out to Monstrum, "Take it, give it to your Queen, tell her that you failed but, I'm wounded, very much so, that…"
Wyatt: "He changed his form in front of us cousins, and we mistrust him now."
Riley: turned to face his cousins they were in fact the only ones there, and he knew that had seen him change he had forgotten that he was standing in front of a mirror so they had seen it all. "That could work tell her she can use my heart as a way to turn me, if ever we need it, the door is open for us to use it."
Monstrum took the pieces of flesh and looked back at Vanquish who nodded his head.
Hazel: Walked over to him, "What did he say?"
Riley: "See you later, brother."
There was a silence in the attic until.
Piper's Voice: "It's too quiet, look, Leo, I do not trust those kids by themselves, and must I remind you of Parker and Pacey?"
Leo's Voice: "We have to let them grow, Piper, you know I don't like the idea of Mel going to the Underworld but I let her."
Phoebe's Voice: "You don't let her she sneaks her way out."
Mel: "I love how they still treat us younger kids like we have no idea what we are doing."
Pacey: "No, Mel, that's just the way they show us how much they love us."
Parker: "What kind of meds are you one so I can get the same dose?"
Pacey: "Fear of grounding."
Parker: "Never mind, I don't like those pills they taste gross."
Pacey: laughed, "Promise me you'll never grow up."
Parker: Punching his arm, "I don't plan to cuz never have and never will."
-Next Scene-
Prue: "It was nice meeting you."
Aiden: "Likewise." He turned to his siblings, "Shall we?"
Reese: "Uhm, guys." They turned to look at him, "I'm not going back with you."
Alex: Sighed she didn't like the tone in his voice, "What do you mean, Reese?"
Reese: "I'm staying here, well not specifically the manor, more like Jay's place, what I mean is, I have a destiny and I know dad would yell up a storm tell me I'm acting like mom, leaving you guys when things are rough."
Alice: "What have you done with the boy I used to know is name was Reese and he would get into trouble with our sister Alex?"
Reese: "I can get my powers under control here."
Alex: "You could get them under control at home."
Reese: "Alex."
Alex: "No, fine you want to leave me with Crappy Aiden who likes to walk around in his underwear and OCD having Alice who won't let me use a glass cup and place it on my counter. That's fine but don't expect me to come all the way over here to help you cause hell."
Reese: he smiled he had been worried about what she would say, he knew she needed him the most, "No, I'll just go home to you so we can finish our fireball game."
Alice: "No one is playing fireball!" Shaking her head, "Do you know how long it takes to get burn marks out of the sofa?"
Alex: "About as long as it took you to stop giving us death stares."
Reese: "Nope, you're wrong Lexi it took longer for her to be kind to us, remember she called me a short moron."
Alex: "She took away my booze I'd have rather be called short."
Aiden: "It's finally happened, he's out grown Alex," turning to Alice, "I've known the day would come, just not this early."
Reese: "Then you're okay with this, Aid?"
Aiden: "If this is what makes you happy finishing a destiny then all I can say is damn the demon that tries to stop you."
Reese: Smiled, "Thanks."
He watches them leave and smiled because he could see their future and it looked brighter than ever.
-Next Scene-
Gabby was sitting in front of her parents who were looking at her almost out of shock.
Darryl: "How is this possible?"
Gabby: "Genetics?"
The door opened and they all turned to see whom it was DJ stood in the hallway he smiled to his sister and went to sit next to her.
DJ: "It doesn't matter, what matters is." He looked into her eyes, "It's a gift, a magical gift."
She smiled at him, knowing that he was going to be by her side forever. He held onto her hand and turned to face their parents together. He may not have been magical like her but he would protect her from anything a big brother could.
-Next Scene-
Hazel and Riley were sitting at the beach, watching the shore get beaten up by the water's tide. He kept looking back at her from the corner of his light blue eyes. He could honestly say, that he was glad she lived pass eighteen. She had grown up to be an attractive young woman, he didn't know if he could tell her everything about himself, he didn't know if he'd hurt her like he hurt Dara Tiernan, which was how she called herself back in his old reality. But one thing was for sure, she looked as beautiful as the day he felt his heart stop beating, and he got to see her in heaven, even if it had been just for a second, she had taken his breath away.
Hazel: "I saw you coming,"
Riley: A small smile fills his face, "I bet you did, you have a wonderful power."
Hazel: "I hope you didn't mind that I came here, I mean, if you want I can leave, I'd understand, you might want to be alone."
Riley: Looking up at her, with love in his light blue eyes, "No stay," Almost pleading like a child, "I'd like the company."
Hazel: Stayed and all their attention was forced upon the beach's shore, now the waters had almost calmed down, "So, how do you like this reality?"
Riley: He looks down to his hands, playing with the ring on his index finger, "It's okay, I mean, I can look around and I can see buildings standing around me, and I can see everything else," He picks up the sand and smiles at her, "I can touch the sand, and it'll feel real not hologramy."
Hazel: She nods, "Oh,"
Riley: He looks down, "So?"
Hazel: "So what?" She didn't want to pressure him into anything.
Riley: Looks at her his blue eyes shine, lovingly, "So what do you see?"
Hazel: She stares into his eyes, that she almost gets lost in them, "I don't want to put—…"
Riley: Almost reading her mind, "You're not going to put any pressure on me, just tell me," He moved her blond hair from her face placing it behind her ear, "Tell me what you see."
Hazel: Doesn't hold out, "I see us getting married, having kids, having a long relationship, us living together, not in that order, but we're happy, even if it was for a second, we're happy,"
Riley: Takes her in his strong arms, "Then say no more," He smiles in a charming Halliwell smile, "Because I want you, with every fiber in my body, I need you," He goes to kiss her, "And trust me, I'm doing this because I want to, not because you think I have to."
Hazel: Before he kisses her, "Don't hurt me," She gave him a look that told him, she was opening up to him, and she hadn't done that to anyone, "Okay?"
Riley: He understood, "As long as you, never hurt me," His lips almost touching hers, "I can't take anymore pain, I'm a broken man, and I can't take much more."
Hazel: She presses her lips onto his and they kiss a passionate kiss, as they stop, their foreheads touch, "I promise,"
Riley: "God I missed you,"
Hazel: "I'm glad I held out."
Riley: Their hands entwine, "Me too,"
