I don't own Jay; I just wish I could…

Later that day I wake up and looked up at Jay. He looked like a fallen angel, his eyes were closed and he was giving this peaceful feelings. I knew he knew I was awake, but still he stayed like that, 'sleeping', I think he knew I needed time to think, to collect myself, to prepare myself for another day of fighting.

To be honest, I was getting tired of this, this fighting… fighting for my life. I just keep doing it because there's no way in hell I'm going to let anybody take my happiness, my family away…

I've lost two families; I won't lose a third one… I deserve my happily ever after… and with Jasper I'm going to get it.

I lost my mom, my dad, my aunts, my uncles and my grandparents to demons, I can't even visit Darryl because demons could be watching me and I could put his family in risk, and I would never do that to him, so I have to stay away to protect him, even though it hurts me. I lost my mom Renee and my dad Charlie because of a drunk driver, I was telling the truth, some humans are monsters too; I won't lose this family because of those bitches, Maria and that blonde witch…

I've had enough… I can't handle to lose someone I love; I've had enough… so this is why I keep fighting… for my whole family.

Maybe, after all this is over I can be myself and not the chosen one or the two blessed child. After the battle, I want to be just Prue, just me and not the hybrid… half witch, half Whitelighter creature with a destiny to fulfill.

Don't get me wrong, I love to be a witch, I love my unique family, I love my powers and all the good things I can do with them. I love that because I'm a magical being I can see so many things that humans can't even imagine, and I love the fact that being a witch brought me to Jasper and his family… but the think I don't like is to be persecuted by evil creatures who want to take over the world and mostly I hate that I have to lose my family because of those monsters.

I miss my family so much. I miss to cook with my mom, potions and food; I miss talking with dad, about all the things he had seen. I miss my crazy aunts, I used to talk to Aunty Phoebe about all the things they had done back when aunt Prue was alive and about all the crazy things they did when they were learning the witchcraft. I also talked a lot with Aunty Paige, we talked about being a hybrid and about her life before being a charmed one.

I used to chat with my uncles; uncle Coop used to tell me stories about all the couples he got together, the true fairytales; uncle Henry used to tell me stories too, but his were about humans, he always asked about how many demons I'd vanquished and I asked him how many lowlifes he had put in jail… I remember one time my grandpa asked him how he felt in the family, with his wife vanquishing demons with her sisters and her niece and he just told him 'they try to rid this world from demons and I try to rid this world from bad humans, in the end we all fighting to keep this world for ending in the hands of evil… they do it in their unique way and I do it in mine' and shrugged his shoulders. I always loved how acceptant of us he was. I miss him a lot and I miss my grandpa, I miss his stories, our lunch dates, I miss to spent time with him. I miss the manor, I miss them all. I miss my family.

I also miss Renee and Charlie; Renee was a fun person, a free spirit, she was always looking for new things to do and took me with her and it was ok with me, I always had this need to protect her even though she was my mom. I didn't remember my past back them, but something deep inside of me told me I needed to protect the people I love; and Charlie, well, he was more like me, a protector. He worked in the San Francisco police department. He was a really good person, always taking care of Renee and me. He was a great dad, I felt protected and loved with him. After I remember everything, I realized that with him I was a child for the first time, back in the manor I had to protect my family, I wasn't so innocent. I knew the world had many dangerous things, and almost all the evil ones were coming after me; I was a killer since I was a toddler, but with Charlie and Renee, I was just the shy teenager that didn't fit in the crowd, maybe It was because I didn't remember the first thirteen years of my life, or because I couldn't trust in people so easily; with or without magic, my friends were my books and my family… I love my family and I'm going to protect them; I won't lose them.

"Darlin', are you alright?" Jay asked me softly stroking my back "You're a little tense"

"I'm alright, I was just thinking"

"About?"

"My family"

"Which one?"

"The magical, the human and the vampire one" I told him and looked up. He was smiling softly "I'm not going to let anything happen to you; any of you" I whispered and he hugged me tighter

"And I won't let anything happen to you, we won't let anything happen to you" he said and kissed my temple.

"I know… Come on; let's get ready for the day. We have a lot of things to do"

"Alright…" he said and I stood up and made my way to the bathroom "Prue?" he called for me so I looked at him. He came to me and smiled softly "I love you" he said and kissed me making me feel like jelly.

"And I love you" I told him.

"Now, go get ready" he said a swatted my butt

"Yes, sir" I said mocking him and saluted him, he was going to grab me but I orbed to the bathroom and locked the door.

"You keep doing that… and that's not fair" he whined and I laughed. He knew how to make me feel better. I did what I had to do in the bathroom and then got out wrapped in a fluffy towel. Jay was on the bed again, only wearing his boxers, but when he saw me he stood up and I smiled to him.

"Are you going to take a shower?" I asked while I pick out my clothes for the day.

"Yeah" he said slowly but didn't elaborate or moved from his spot. I turned around to see why he didn't just go to the bathroom and found him staring at me with pitch black eyes. It didn't scare me, I knew why he was watching me like that, but still I played innocent.

"What is it?"

"Nothing" he said and I arched a brow "Alright, I'm watching you… you're only wearing a mini towel, what can I say..." he said shrugging.

"Perv" I murmured knowing he could hear me, and then we laughed

"I'm not a perv… I'm your mate and that gives me the right to watch you they way I want" he said smiling proudly, and I couldn't help but walk toward him smiling back

"I love you so much, Jay…" I told him softly and put my arms around his neck. He pulled me close to him by wrapping his arms on my waist.

"I love you, darlin'" he whispered back. I stood up on my tiptoes and we kissed, softly but passionate at the same time, demonstrating our love for each other… after a while of kissing, I pulled back.

"Why are you pulling back? I haven't finished kissing you" he pouted and I laughed.

"If it was for you" and for me "we would spend all they long here and we have a lot to do today…" I told him giving him a peck on his pouting lips "Now, go shower, Major"

"Yes, ma'am…" he said and saluted me… that was hot. I remember how Jay looks with his uniform, I wonder if he still have it, or if he can get one… he looked so good in it… I looked at him biting my lip; I shouldn't be thinking about that right now "A cold shower coming right away"

He joked and got into the bathroom and I got dress quickly laughing at his antics.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to check on Ty" I told him

"Ok… I think he and Peter are the only ones in the house, I don't feel anyone else or hear anyone else near"

"Alright, take your time" I stepped outside our room and he was right, I didn't feel anyone else here; I checked the powers, they were exactly were I left them and then walked to look for Ty. While I was walking along the hallway I saw Pete coming closer, he was grinning, showing his razor blades teeth and his red eyes, they were sparkling with happiness… I could feel he was happy to be here, I smiled at that.

"How are you doing this fine morning, sugar?" he asked politely, with his grin still in place.

"I'm doing great, thank you. How was practice?" I asked because his clothes weren't so good. I guess Cole threw him some energy balls.

"You're asking because of this?" he said pointing at his clothes and I nodded "You should see Cole… practice was good, we were comparing techniques only his were throwables"

"Yeah, that's Cole… so, what are you doing up here… and where are the others?" I asked him. Esme's room wasn't in this floor.

"I'm looking for you and Jasper, I heard you were awake so I need entertainment… the others were hunting, Char wanted to try the animal diet and Cole wanted to see how they hunt 'squirrels and bunnies'" he shrugged and I laughed

"Well, Jay is in our room, I guess by now he's getting dress… I'm on my way to see Tyler; I'll be right back to see what we can do while they are hunting"

"We'll wait for you… you are free to go sugar" he said tipping his invisible hat and walked to my room. When he was about to open the door I called for him.

"Pete… I'm sorry for putting you and Char in this position" I told him quietly, he let go of the door knob and flashed to my side. I was feeling really bad about this. Pete is Jay's brother, his first friend since he became a vampire, I didn't want to put him and his mate in risk.

"Don't say that, you're my brother's mate, ergo, you're my sister, which mean, we're family and family takes care of each other" he told me softly "You should know that by now" he told me smiling kindly and touching my nose.

"I tend to put my family in danger" I confessed to him "Are you sure you want to be my brother?"

"Hey, sugar… I want to be brother… I am your brother; besides you're not putting your family in risk, you are saving them and the rest of the world. It's an honor to fight at your side in this battle…" he said but I looked down… he sighed and made me look at him "Maria turned Jasper, Char and I to be monsters, we killed too many for the wrong reasons, vampires and humans and we hated it… now it's time for her to pay. With your help, we will vanquish her ass for once and for all… you know what they say 'payback is a witch' you're actually making us a favor. Char, Jasper and I want that bitch dead, for good this time…" he said grinning again.

"Thank you, Pete" I wanted to hug him, but I didn't know how he was going to react, so I just smiled and crossed my arms. He cocked his head to the side and then shook his head. Next thing I know, he was hugging me tight.

"You're such a sentimental girl" he said moving me from side to side, still hugging me. I must look like a rag doll…

"Let go" I told him pretending to be offended but he didn't… I could have orbed from his embrace but we were bonding as siblings…

"Let her go…" someone shouted from behind me scaring me half dead, I didn't feel anybody coming because I was distracted with Pete and I guess he was as distracted as I was because he was shocked to look at Ty so close… Pete put me down, so I turned around. Everything happened so fast… Ty looked Pete's face and then he grasped his head and Pete was on fire.

"What the hell?" Pete yelled and took a couple of steps backward.

"Tyler, no, stop" I shouted, but he didn't listen, so I waved my hand and threw him against the wall, he was ok, still conscious and was looking at me confused "He's Peter, Jasper's brother" I told him.

"Oh my God" he cried out. I turned around and Jay was putting out the fire with his empathy. I ran toward them.

"Is he ok? Please, tell me he's ok" Pete was laying on the floor, his clothes were still smoking and his eyes were closed. I was crying I couldn't help it; he was tight, I was too emotional today… I concentrated on his emotions because he wasn't moving or breathing and since vampires don't have pulse or heartbeat I needed to feel him; he was feeling pain, which relieved me… if he was feeling something, it meant he was still alive "I can't lose somebody else" I whispered. Jay looked at me worried

"You won't" he stated. I took a deep breath and checked Pete's body; his clothes were burned badly, but his body was whole, he only had rough patches where his skin was injured. Thank God for vampires' high resistance.

"The fire is out. He's going to be ok, he'll heal in a couple of hours; it's nothing, don't worry" Jay told me trying to make me feel better. I should have made them immune to Ty's power the minute they got here.

"Nothing…? It stings like a bitch" Pete moaned and winked at me… He was hurt and he was making me feel better; what is it with this southern boys and their need to make me smile.

"It's ok, Pete… it won't take hours" I told him and he looked at me curious "Don't move" I put my hands over his injures and they started to glow healing him.

"Hours… or you could do that" Jay said and I smiled at him. When I finished, even his clothes were as good as knew.

"All good" I told him and Pete stood up.

"That felt strange" he said flexing his body "But good, I don't even have to change… it was kind of entertained"

"That was what you were looking for?" Jay asked playfully which told me he was listening our conversation; it didn't surprise me, he has enchanted hearing… I really appreciate he let me talk to Pete; he's so thoughtful.

"To be used as a torch…? Nop… but I'll live..." he said and we nodded… I kept staring at Pete, my hands were twitching and I was biting my lip…

"Do it" Jay nodded his head towards Pete smiling softly.

"Thank you" I told Jay and throw myself at Pete.

"I'm glad you're ok" I said and he hugged me back.

"It was nothing… Sorry I didn't feel him until it was too late… Please, don't kill me Jasper"

"You won't, right? It wasn't his fault" I told Jay pouting and he gave me a kiss.

"I won't kill you" Jay told him; then I turned around and went to check on Ty, he was still on the floor, feeling guilty and embarrassed.

"Sorry I had to throw you against the wall" I told him with a childish voice while I sat beside him and he shrugged his shoulders

"I'm sorry I almost kill Jasper's brother" he told me and Pete and Jay laughed. I looked back at them and smiled too; it was easier to joke about it now that Pete was ok.

"He's ok now… are you ok? Did I hit you too hard?"

"Not harder than Cole yesterday in practice… I'm fine and I really am sorry" I messed his heard and shrugged my shoulders.

"I know… I'll make him and his mate immune to your power as soon as she gets here… so, please, try to not burn him and her… she's a petite blonde vampire with red eyes"

"Charlotte, right?" he asked and I nodded "Noted"

"Come on, let's introduce you the way it's supposed to be" I stood up and brought him with me to Pete "Pete, this is my brother/charge/Firestarter, Tyler… Ty this is my brother/brother in law/vampire Peter"

"Nice to meet you… sorry for almost killing you; I thought you were a demon with those red eyes… when I saw you with her and she was telling you to let her go, I just…"

"It's ok… I understand you're on the fringe here; you were defending her, so… I'm ok" Pete said grinning again and Ty looked at him a little uncomfortable "What is it? My eyes or my teeth?"

"Excuse me?" Ty asked him.

"What's making you uneasy… my eyes or my teeth?" Pete repeated smiling even bigger. Ty looked at me him and then shrugged.

"The eyes" Ty confessed and we all laughed "Why are they red again? Jasper's and all the Cullens eyes are like golden"

"It's because of my diet… I drink human blood" Ty gulped and looked at Pete a little scared.

"You don't have to be scare of Peter, Tyler. He won't hurt you…" Jay told him and Ty nodded, his feelings were calmer but he wasn't feeling totally safe.

"I hunt lowlifes, so does my mate… don't be afraid, your blood doesn't tempt me, I rather have Prue's blood than yours"

"Peter" Jay said in a warning tone and snaked his arm around my waist "I rather not listen about your preference for my mate's blood"

"Just saying… I rather have hers than his, but hers ain't tempting in the edible sense, hers is more alluring"

"Hers…? I'm here, just in case you didn't notice… stop talking about my blood, would you?"

"Sorry, darlin'… Peter, shut up" Jay told him and Pete frowned.

"You shut up" Pete said back

"You shut up" Jay repeated

"You shut up" Pete replied again

"Seriously…? You are old and vampires and still act like that…?" I scolded them trying not to laugh and they looked at me guiltily "Shame on you… Come on, Ty… let's leave these old men here and get something to eat" before Jay or Pete could react I took Ty's hand and orbed to the kitchen… not even five seconds later they were in the kitchen too. Jay was smiling at me and I smiled back.

"You shouldn't orb with Tyler" Jay told me and I frowned

"Why is that?" I asked him

"Look at him Prue" Pete told me… Ty was grasping the kitchen counter looking a little ill.

"Oops…"

"I'm ok…" he said but he didn't look ok.

"You should really get use to it; you'll be able to teleport soon… not in orbs but is the same thing"

"How are you going to do that? I mean, the powers Cole brought you aren't like evil?" Pete asked me.

"No, magic or powers, they aren't good or evil, per se… it's how they are used what makes them good or evil"

"Your mom told me that once; I thought I was evil because I was meant to be the source guard… she told me I could be good if I wanted… I wanted to be good"

"Well, she was right, you're good… do you want to eat something?"

"Sure, I'll help you" we made ourselves some sandwich while Pete and Jay bickered how bad they smelled, I told them if they keep doing that I was going to make them eat it, so they shut up, they knew I could made them. We ate and then when upstairs so I could bless the powers… the powers may no have been evil, but they were inside demons before, I needed to make them pure again. I cast an spell and then they were ready, we just needed the other to come back.

"While we wait we can help you train, if you want" Jay told me and I agreed, so we went to the patio.

"How are we going to do this?" Pete asked me.

"I can practice with you combat skills and some of my not so strong powers, like my freezing, telekinesis, empathy… powers that won't hurt you permanently and my dangerous powers with objects"

"Like throwing you a log or something?" Ty asked and I nodded.

"I'll throw you a log if you want?" Pete said eagerly and Jay pushed him "I'm trying to help" we laughed.

"Let start with your powers because it's what you need the most; when the others get here we will practice your combat skills, you're really good at it already so" Jay told me and Pete.

"Really good?" he asked me, he didn't believe it

"Well, I can levitate and I have telekinesis, those powers give me agility and I've practice my combat skills since I was five with my aunt, so, yeah, I'm pretty good"

"I don't know; are you strong enough to overpower a vampire; would your punches hurt one?"

"Do you want to test me?" I asked him with one brow cocked and he grinned.

"I do" he said and Jay sighed.

"You don't mind if I kick Pete's do you?" I asked him and grinned and shook his head.

"Show him what you got, but leave him in one piece" he told me and gave me a kiss.

"Hey" Pete whined… Jay and I were getting better, he hadn't growl when Pete hugged me or when I took Ty's hand, he just was uncomfortable, but he managed.

"Sure" I walked to the middle of the backyard and made the 'go ahead' sign. Pete flashed in front of me, but it didn't surprise me. I could see him just fine even when he moved fast…

We started to circle each other; testing… I was waiting for him to make the first move and then he did it, he tried to kick me but I jumped backward; he kept coming at me, but I flicked backward until I was close to a big tree, he thought he got me, but I ran and walked on the tree and flipped in the air, when I was just above him I took his shoulders and took him with me, he landed on the ground with a grunt and I grinned while Jay and Ty laughed at Pete.

"I told you she was good" Jay said and Pete glared at him.

"Don't be a sore loser"

"This isn't over" Pete told him and then turned to me, I immediately jumped and kicked him in the chest and he landed on a tree that split in a half.

"Pete, in a fight… never lose focus" I told him and walked toward Jay, he hugged me and laughed at Pete and Ty was watching the tree in amaze.

"I knew that" Pete said and came to us "Ok, you're really good at it… but just keep in mind that you won't because I couldn't use my teeth on you"

"Yeah, yeah… let's practice my powers"

"We could use this tree with Peter's ass prints" Ty said seriously and we couldn't help but laugh.

"Sure thing; let me break it in smaller pieces" Jay said and in less than a minute, he had enough wood logs.

"I wish I could do that with my bare hands" Ty told him

"You can make a bonfire with your mind, I wish I could do that" Jay told him

"Yeah, yeah… you wish, he wish… we're all wishers… can we help this young lady how to control her powers now" Pete told them taking a couple of logs with him.

"You just want to see what she can do with her powers" Ty told him and Jay agreed.

"Maybe…" he said and turned to me "How do we do this?" he was excited about it.

"We could start simple. I'm going to stand here and you three over there and then you're going to throw that to me, whenever you want… I need to practice my powers and my reflexes"

"Alright"

"You have to be careful… the logs might go back toward you…" I looked at Ty and he nodded, so did Jay…

"Let's start then…" Jay said and they started throwing the logs toward me…
