heres the next chapter. Hope you enjoy and please review :)
As soon as Peyton opened her eyes she was aware of the horrendous headache filling her skull. She turned over and focused her eyes on her clock until the blurred numbers were readable.
Peyton: "9.30??"
She ran through to her mothers room and swung the door open causing her to wake up.
Peyton: "Mum are you aware its 9.30 and I'm late and your late and..."
Peytons eyes widened as what she had thought was the blankets began to move beside her mother before a mans head popped out.
Peyton: "Oh my god, gross...ok leaving now"
Peyton ran downstairs to the kitchen where Phoebe and Piper were making breakfast.
Piper: "Well good morning sleeping beauty, how do you feel today?"
Peyton: "My head hurts, i feel nauseous, and are you aware theres a man in bed upstairs with my mother"
Piper and Phoebe shared awkward glances.
Piper: "Yeah look we'll leave that for your mum to explain. Meanwhile, drink this"
She put a cup of water with a fizzing white tablet in it onto the table.
Piper: "It tastes disgusting, but it will take away your headache and nausea"
Peyton downed it in one and as soon as the glass was away from her lips she screwed up her face.
Phoebe: "You looks so much like your mum when you do that, she makes the same face"
Prue: "When i do what?"
She had entered the kitchen in her dressing gown, Andy holding onto her hand.
Phoebe: "When you take an alka seltzer...looks likes someone had a good night last night"
Prue smiled : "Yeah we did"
Peyton: "People, seriously, i feel nauseous enough as it is thank you very much, and whats going on? He wasn't here last night when i went to bed, and i know that was late, did you just pick him up off the street?"
Prue laughed: "No sweetie, look we have to talk, can we go upstairs, please?"
Peyton: "Ok, but i hope you know I'm mega late for school as it is, so you'll have to explain"
Prue: "I already phoned this morning to say you wouldn't be in"
Peyton: "Oh, ok"
Prue tugged on Andys arm and they left the kitchen, Peyton following behind. They sat in Prue's bedroom, Peyton facing them.
Peyton: "Does he need to be here for this?"
Prue: "Yes he does. Peyton, this is your dad"
Peyton: "But i thought...you said he was dead"
Prue: "Yeah he was, but not anymore, the elders brought him back as a whitelighter"
Peyton: "Ok, so is he here permanently?"
Prue: "Yeah he is"
Peyton: "Ok, i mean I'm glad, this is just a lot to take in, especially when my head hurts as much as it does"
Andy: "Self inflicted"
Peyton shot him a glare, to which he returned a sheepish smile.
Andy: "Look honey i know this is a lot to take in, but I'm here, and you don't know how glad i am. I've watched you for the past year and cant believe how much I've missed out on"
Peyton: "Maybe you shouldn't have gave me up as a baby then"
Andy: "I was kind of hoping that wouldn't have been brought up"
He lowered his head, fiddling his thumbs just like she does when shes put in an awkward situation. Peyton perhaps realised this.
Peyton: "I'm sorry i shouldn't have said that, look i just need to get used to this"
Prue: "Thats fine, you take as long as you need sweetie"
Peyton: "Ok, well I'm gonna take a shower, i have dirt in my hair from last night, I'm never drinking again"
Prue: "Good"
As she got up to leave, Andy stood up.
Andy: "Can i get a hug"
Peyton: "Not yet, I'm sorry but I'm just not ready"
After she left Andy sat down and sighed.
Prue: "Don't worry about it she done the same to me when she came back. It took her ages before she would even call me mum, just leave her to her thoughts and she'll be fine eventually, just the way she is"
Andy: "Yeah, shes gorgeous Prue. I cant believe how much we missed out on"
Prue: "I know, but we can make it up now. We have our work cut out with her though Andy. Shes a good kid, but she doesn't act it, shes just hurt and confused with all this. Finding me, finding out shes a witch, then you coming back, it must be messing with her head. Shes had a hard life, being shoved between foster homes and childrens home"
Andy: "I know, shes went through more than most kids have had to deal with. We'll manage, you've managed well without me these last few months"
Prue: "Yeah but ill manage better with the support from you"
Andy: "Yeah, come on lets go get ready"
Peyton was now showered and dressed and had made her way downstairs to get food.
She walked into the kitchen.
Peyton: "Hey is there any breakfast left?"
Piper: "Yeah sweetie but its eggs"
Peyton: "Eugh, why did you make eggs, you never make eggs"
Piper: "Well your dad likes them so thought I'd make them"
Peyton: "Oh, never mind then"
Piper: "I can make you something else?"
Peyton: "No, ill be fine thanks"
She went up to her bedroom and lay on her bed with her IPod, not that she was listening to it much because she was too caught up in her own thoughts"
A knock on the door caused her to jump. Her father popped his head into the room.
Andy: "Hey Sweetie, are you ok?"
Peyton: "Yeah I'm ok"
Andy: "Look me and your mum are going out for the day, do you want to come?"
Peyton: "Not particularly"
Andy: "Please Peyton, come on, it would give us a chance to get to know each other"
Peyton: "We have our whole lives for that, i just wanna be on my own right now"
Andy: "It would mean alot to your mum"
Peyton: "For the last fricking time...NO! Just because your back now doesn't mean you can come waltzing in here expecting me to spend every minute with you and have people making you eggs!"
Andy: "What does eggs have to do with it?"
Peyton: "Just get out"
He looked hurt and retreated, Peyton just turned over onto her side, not caring.
A few minutes later another knock on the door came and this time it was Piper that came in.
Piper: "Right missy. Listen up because I'm only going to say this once, you hear me?"
Her voice was slightly raised so that she definitely had Peytons attention. Peyton looked up, and nodded her head.
Piper: "Good, now i want you to stop being so damn stroppy, and go out with your parents. Your mum and dad are really upset"
Peyton: "But.."
Piper: "No buts, you know you've had it hard, i understand that, but you know the amount of kids that would kill to be in your position, how many kids do you know have lost there dad because of death and get them back? None? and yet here you are with such a blessing as this, and you just want to sit around your room and mope and feel sorry for yourself? Well its not happening young lady, get off your backside and get moving"
Peyton immediately felt guilty and her eyes clouded over. Piper walked over and put her arms around her.
Piper: "You ok?"
Peyton: "Yeah, your so right, i shouldn't take this for granted and make the most of it, you never know whats around the corner"
Piper: "Thats a good attitude to take, now go on, have some fun"
Peyton wiped her eyes.
Peyton: "Thanks Aunt Piper"
Piper: "Its ok"
Peyton walked downstairs and into the living room, her parents were sitting on the couch, her dad had his arm around her mum comforting her.
Peyton: "Where we going then?"
Prue looked around and smiled.
Andy: "What about the zoo?"
Peyton: "I went to the zoo last weekend and got the power of premonition so to be honest id rather not!"
Andy: "You've got powers?"
Peyton: "Yeah, well mums a witch so obviously I'd get powers"
Andy: "Oh, i didn't think you would with me being mortal"
Peyton: "Yeah but grandad was a mortal and grams was a witch and mum, aunt piper and aunt phoebe still have powers"
Andy: "Yeah i suppose, do you just have your mums powers then?"
Peyton: "No, i got the power of telekinesis and astral projection from mum, and the power of premonition from Aunt Phoebe"
Andy: "None from Piper?"
Peyton: "Not yet, and hopefully not anytime soon, its hard enough trying to get control over these powers never mind freezing"
Andy: "Yeah true"
Peyton: "Does it bother you that i have powers?"
Andy: "No of course not. I love you with or without them"
Peyton: "Good good, so anyway what we gonna do. Oh can we go to the beach!"
Prue: "Yeah, as long as i stay away from the water I'm fine"
Peyton: "Dad can come swimming with me then"
Andy smiled and you could see he was glowing with pride.
Andy: "Of course i will"
Peyton: "Cool I'm gonna go and get my bikini and a towel. Do you reckon i could get Aunt Piper to make us a picnic?"
Prue: "I don't know"
Peyton: "Ill go sweet talk her"
Peyton went through to the kitchen.
Peyton: "Aunt Piper, you know how much i love you"
Piper: "What do you want?"
Peyton: "Aunt Piper! Cant a niece show her love for her aunt"
Piper: "Some can, but you want something"
Peyton: "Well you see..."
Piper cut in: "And here it comes"
Peyton: "Well Mum, Dad and I are going to the beach so i was wondering if you would make us a picnic, seen as you make the awesomest food ever"
Piper: "Thats not even a word"
Peyton: "Still makes a point though, please Aunt Piper, ill make you my favourite Aunt"
Piper: "I'm not your favourite Aunt just now?"
Peyton: "Well yeah, of course you are, i just mean that Aunt Phoebe will have do to something big to get ahead of you"
Piper: "Ok fine"
Peyton: "Yay, thanks!" she gave her a quick hug and ran from the kitchen.
By the time she was ready Piper had already made the picnic.
Piper: "There you go, Picnic a la Piper"
Peyton went to grab it before Prue swooped her hand in and took it first.
Prue: "Thanks Piper, i better take this otherwise it'll be eaten by the time we get there"
Peyton: "Mum, hardly"
About an hour later and they were at the beach, it was mostly quiet considering the time of year it was wasn't really one for tourists, and the residents of San Francisco were either at work or school.
As Peyton lay in the sun she heard quiet laughter coming from her right.
Peyton: "MUM!DAD! That is so gross stop that this instant!"
When she had turned to look, Prue and Andy were embraced in each others arms, their lips locked together.
Prue: "Its not gross"
Peyton: "Really it is"
Prue: "Its a natural thing"
Peyton: "Ok, tell you what, ill phone grandad and get him to meet us at the manor, then we'll summon grams and have them make out. Then you can tell me its not gross"
Prue: "Fair point"
Peyton smiled :"Thank you. I'm going swimming"
Prue: "Well make sure...."
Peyton rolled her eyes: "I stay where you can see me, don't go too deep, and if i see anything suspicious scream"
Prue: "Ok then smarty pants, go swim"
She ran down to the water.
Andy tried to return to how they were before being interrupted by Peyton but Prue was now sitting upright with her eyes following Peytons every move.
Andy: "Sweetie, shes ok"
At that they heard a scream, as they looked down Peyton was struggling to get out of the water, her head bobbing under as she did.
Prue: "Andy go get her!"
Andy ran down and grabbed a hold of her.
Andy: "Hey sweetie you ok"
Peyton: "Damn jellyfish stung me"
She limped back up beside her mother.
Prue: "Let me see"
Peyton: "Dad cant you heal it?"
Andy: "I've not got a hold on my healing power yet"
Peyton: "It really, really hurts"
By this time the tears were starting to cloud her eyes.
Andy: "I know what will make the pain go away, but your not gonna like it"
Peyton: "I seen that episode on the discovery channel as well, and theres no way i am peeing on myself"
Prue: "But if it makes the pain go away"
Peyton: "No way! I'm just going to lay back on my towel, and think about anything i possibly can to get my mind of it"
As she tried to lay back down she accidentally put pressure on her foot.
Peyton: "OWWWW"
Girl: "Hey are you ok?"
Peyton: "I'm fine its just a jellyfish sting"
Girl: "Ouch! My mum has some ointment for that if you want some?"
Peyton: "Really? Well if you wouldn't mind"
Girl: "Hold on a second ill go get it, I'm Stephanie by the way"
Peyton: "Thanks, and I'm Peyton"
When Stephanie had came back, Andy and Prue had returned to their original position.
Stephanie: "Is that your parents"
Peyton: "Nope, don't have a clue who they are"
Prue: "Yes we are, its nice to meet you, and thanks for doing this"
Stephanie: "Its no problem, I've had my fair share of jellyfish stings and i know how painful they can be. And Peyton don't worry, my parents are just as embarrassing"
Peyton looked along the beach to see a couple in almost the same position as her parents.
Peyton shuddered.
Stephanie: "Yeah, ditto to that shudder. Right, here, this might sting a bit when it first goes on, but give it 20 minutes and you'll feel as good as new"
As she put on the cream Peyton bit her lip, preventing everywhere swear word she knew coming out.
After about 5 minutes, the pain had subsided.
Peyton: "Wow, thats awesome, thanks!"
Stephanie: "Yeah, hey do you wanna take a walk along the beach? i just moved here, would be nice to get to know someone, plus we can both get away from our embarrassing parents"
Walking along the beach, listening to the way Stephanie spoke, made her feel she almost understood how she felt.
Peyton: "So why did you move here anyway?"
Stephanie: "We had to be relocated because of my dads job, have you lived here all your life?"
Peyton: "Aw that sucks, you'll miss all your friends! And no i moved here about 4 months ago"
Stephanie: "Well we still keep in contact. Why did your parents move you here then?"
Peyton: "Technically they never. I was given up as a baby, and i was never actually adopted, so i found my mum and dad and came back to live with them"
Stephanie: "Wow, thats steep"
Peyton: "Yeah, I'm glad though, i have a family now"
Stephanie: "True, and did your mum just welcome you back?"
Peyton: "Yeah, i mean she had her reasons then, sensible ones, but now she doesn't have them"
Stephanie: "You hope"
Peyton looked at her with hurt eyes.
Stephanie: "Look I'm sorry all I'm saying is the child you abandoned turns up on your doorstep, are you going to turn them away? No. Do you ever just wonder is that what she really wants"
Peyton: "I don't know, i think she does"
Peyton was now starting to doubt all that had happened so far, did her mum really want her there?
Stephanie changed the subject.
Stephanie: "So where do you go to school?"
Peyton: "The public one. What about you? Private or public?"
Stephanie: "I suppose you could say private, its kind of for gifted students"
Peyton: "Oh, cool. So maybe we could hang out sometime, would have to be a weekday after school because i have trai....to study at the weekends most of the time"
Stephanie: "Yeah that sounds good. You study most weekends? That sucks"
Peyton: "Yeah. I got away with it last weekend, my Aunt Phoebe and her boyfriend took me to the zoo"
Stephanie: "You have an aunt too?"
Peyton: "I have two, my aunt Piper and aunt Phoebe"
Stephanie: "Whats your mums name?"
Peyton: "Prue, why?"
Stephanie: "I knew i recognised you...."
Woman: "Stephanie come on its time to go home now"
Stephanie: "But mum this is..."
Woman: "Oh look you made a friend, we have to go"
Stephanie: "ok, wait Peyton"
Stephanie quickly scrawled her number over Peytons arm.
Stephanie: "Give me a call sometime"
Peyton: "ok, i will! Thanks for the ointment for my foot!"
Stephanie: "No problem"
Stephanies mother was dragging her away, and you could tell she was whispering stern words in her ears.
Prue: "Wheres your friend?"
Peyton: "She's away home"
Andy: "That sucks, your stuck with us again"
Peyton: "Yeah, i got her number though so we can hang out some time. And you's aren't so bad"
Andy: "Prue did you just hear that? Were not so bad!! Quick get a camera, write it down!"
Peyton: "Yeah keep going on like that and you'll go back to the embarrassing parents i don't want to be seen with"
Prue: "Well we cant have that" she said it with such sarcasm in her voice.
Peyton: "Of course you cant! What time is it anyway?"
Prue:" 4.30, why do you wanna go home now?"
Peyton: "No, the suns still out, I'm going to enjoy it while i can"
Andy: "Good, we'll have to leave in about an hour though cause piper will have tea made for us"
Peyton: "Okay"
At 6 o'clock they had just arrived back at the manor in time for dinner. Peyton had been quiet most of the car ride home.
Piper: "Your just in time for dinner, its chicken, potatoes and veggies"
Peyton: "I'm not that hungry just now, I'm just going to go to my room"
Once in her room, she put her hairdryer on low, but on the hottest setting and blew it upon her forehead knowing too well her mum would be up in a few minutes to see whats up.
Peyton felt her forehead: "That should do it"
She heard footsteps so quickly hid the hairdryer and lay on her bed, shaking so it seemed she was shivering.
A knock on the door caused her to turn around.
Prue: "Hey sweetie you ok?"
Peyton nodded her head.
Prue: "You feeling ok?"
Peyton shook her head this time " I'm really cold"
Prue placed a hand on her forehead.
Prue: "Your roasting!"
Peyton: "I just want to go to sleep mum"
Prue: "Ok honey, sleep well, ill come check on you in a little while"
Peyton again, just nodded.
When Prue next went up to check on her she found Peyton sitting at her desk.
Prue: "What are you doing?"
Peyton: "Well this homework due for tomorrow so i thought i better get it done"
Prue: "There's no way your going to school tomorrow missy, back to bed now"
Peyton: "Ok mum"
Prue: "I'm going to bed now ok, everyone else is sleeping, night night" She leaned down and placed a kiss upon Peytons forehead.
Peyton: "Night mum, love you"
Prue: "Love you too"
Once Prue had left the room and Peyton knew she was in bed, she grinned to herself, whispering "well that was easy"
She tiptoed out her bedroom and into the attic. She opened the book of shadows to the page she wanted and started to chant the spell.
Peyton:"For those who want the truth revealed
Opened hearts and secrets unsealed
From now until it is now again
After which the memory ends.
Those who now are in this house
Will hear the truth from others'
mouths."
