So I was a bit dissapointed at my lack of reviews on the last chapter, Thanks to those who did review, it means a lot. Those who didn't, please just write me a review! It only takes like a minute tops, also, please read my note at the bottom of this chapter, maybe give you an incentive to get reviewing!

Two weeks had passed since the kidnap, and Peyton was a shadow of the girl she used to be. Nightmares of the ordeal haunted every moment she was asleep, and when she was awake, she was constantly on edge. She barely left the house, barely spoke, and Prue and Andy practically had to force her to eat. She had given evidence to the police, with Prue by her side gripping her hand tightly, fighting back the tears at having to listen to what her daughter went through. The trial was tomorrow, the evidence Peyton had made had been recorded and would be shown in court so that Peyton wouldn't have to face them.

The room was dark and quiet, apart from the whimpers from Peyton as she writhed around in her bed. The whimpers got louder and louder, till they were screams. Beads of sweat trickled down her face, which was contorted in terror. The room light went on and Prue rushed to Peyton, sitting on the bed, she shook her till she woke. Peytons eyes snapped open, and upon seeing Prue her face softened as tears streamed from her eyes. Her body trembled as she sobbed silently, the only noise heard from her was gasps of breath between each sob. Prue pulled her into a hug, her eyes heavy from the same routine every night. The two laid down in the bed, Prue stroking one finger down Peytons back as she fell asleep again. Prue lay in the bed, her mind tormented with thoughts of how her daughter had become like this. She let the tears slowly fall from her eyes, eventually allowing her mind to shut off, and succumb to sleep.

The morning of the trial Peyton didn't leave her room, Andy tried to get her to come get some breakfast, but she responded with the same incoherent mumbles. Dark circles surrounded her eyes, red showing through from the tears she had spilled.

The trial was at 10am, Prue and Andy sat quietly in the living room, awaiting the phone call. Prue lay her head back on the brown leather suite, fighting the urge to sleep. Andy tapped his foot impatiently on the laminate flooring, a click heard everytime his shoes hit the ground. He kept glancing to mantelpiece, first to the clock, then to the picture of himself, his wife and daughter. He smiled at the photo, it had been taken in the manor, Andy was stood in the living room smiling for the photo, as Peyton and Prue stood making faces. He missed the happy times. He blamed himself in a way, if he hadn't pushed Prue so much to move, they'd have never met those vile creatures, and Peyton would still be the same happy, bubbly teenager she was.

Blue lights filled the room, Piper and Leo appearing, shortly after a ripple in the air saw Phoebe and Cole shimmering in. They shared gentle smiles with the two parents, and sat quietly on the couch opposite. The silence was broken as high pitched ring echoed through the apartment. Andy immediately jumped to his feet to answer. Few words were exchanged and he sighed with relief just as he hung up. All eyes turned towards him awaiting the verdict.

Andy gave a small smile: "Guilty, they were found guilty" and let out another sigh.

Prue: "How long did they get?"

Andy: "Alice got 5 years, George got 3. Once they're released, they're not allowed back into San Fransisco, a restraining order has been put on them to stop them ever coming near Peyton again"

Prue: "Thank god"

Piper: "That's good news, maybe Peyton will relax a bit more now"

Prue: "I hope so"

Unbeknown to them Peyton had stood in the background, listening to the news.

All heads snapped towards her upon hearing her voice.

Peyton: "It's over" she cried.

Phoebe got up and wrapped her arms around the young girl: "It is baby, is is"

The days following this showed Peyton to be returning to her old self. She was back to eating normally, her clothes no longer hanging off her. She started sleeping better, the nights when she had the bad dreams became less and less frequent. She starting allowing her friends to visit again, and laughter slowly returned. It took about a month before she was back to her usual self again, although she still had some bad days. It was her birthday in a week, and a suprise party was being arranged, to this she was totally oblivious. She returned to school, the first few days were hard trying to catch up, but she managed. Prue and Andy decided that if they weren't in the apartment, neither would Peyton, so more time was spent at the manor, which she was glad off.

The day of her birthday Thomas picked her up, took her shopping and went for lunch. She was under the impression that both her parents had to work all day, so they went back to Thomas' for the rest of the afternoon, having dinner with his parents. When around 6pm came Peyton was eager to get back home. As she spoke to his parents in the living room, he feigned a sore head to get out the room. Hearting back to the manor everyone was up in arms.

Prue: "What are you doing here its too early!"

Thomas: "She doesn't know I'm here, she thinks I went off to get painkillers so have to be back any minute now. She wants to come home now though"

Phoebe: "Hold her off till 7, if you's arrive back then everything will be ready and everyone will be here"

"Don't put them there, put them here dear!" a voice was heard carrying through the manor.

Penny appeared in the doorway and took a look at the boy.

She grinned: "Is this him?"

Piper nodded and Penny approached the boy with open arms. Thomas warily hugged her back, totally unaware of who it was he was hugging.

Penny looked to the others: "My grandaughter has great choice in boys"

Looking back at Thomas she noticed he was still looking at her strangely: "Oh, sorry Thomas, I'm Penny, Peytons great grams"

"And I'm just her grams" came Pattys voice as she walked from the kitchen, also giving Thomas a hug.

"You treat our girl right" she said seriously, but a playful smile came from the corner of her mouth.

Thomas laughed: "I always will, she's everything to me"

Prue: " We know Thomas" she smiled. "Anyway, get back to her, see you at 7"

He nodded before hearting out. He managed to successfully stall, and brought her back home for seven.

Walking in the front door, it was pitch black. When the door shut behind them the lights went on and a chorus of 'surprise' was heard.

She jumped with fright, but immediately smiled at everyone before her. Friends from school, her parents, aunts and uncles, she kept looking around too look at all who were there.

Prue approached her and hugged her: "Happy Birthday honey" she said and planted a kiss on her head.

The night was followed with laughter, fun, and happiness, the room was bursting with it. Not just from Peyton, but from those around her, just to see her smile again was everything to them. The night went on, and eventually the guests dwindled out, leaving only Peyton and her family.

Andy: "You have a good time?" he asked as he sat on the seat next to her, putting one arm around her and pulling her in.

Peyton smiled: "I had a great time, thanks, to all of you, it was amazing"

Prue: "I'm glad, look, times getting on, we better be going home now"

Piper: "Don't be silly, just stay here for the night, no point driving home now"

Andy: "Driving? We would have been orbing, I think I'm a tad over the limit to drive" he laughed, and the rest joined in.

The laughter was broken when three demons shimmered in, Prue instinctively went to protect Peyton. It was too late though, a fireball headed straight for her, first her eyes were wide with shock, but her expression changed, a smile spread and she used her telekenisis to reflect the fireball back. As she did this though, the second demon threw a fireball. Peyton put her arms out in front her, as she did the demon and the fireball before her froze. Peyton looked to her hands, then to the fireball. Wasting no time she squinted her eyes, throwing the fireball back to the demon, him too bursting in flames. The third demon looked confused.

"I don't understand, this was meant to work! You're meant to be a wreck" he said as he shimmered out.

Peyton turned to the rest of the family, all of them looking at her in awe.

Peyton: "I'm back" she smiled.

So that was just a wee filler, I didn't know what to write to make it a big chapter, but I wanted to show her recovering from her ordeal, so this was it! Please please please review. If you'll notice, it was a quick update! :) Go me, and that's what reviews do, so if you want the next chapter up soon (It's already been started) then get the button pressed and write me a review :)

I fancy putting a new character in, he has to be male, and magical, of Peyton's age group. If you have any ideas, put it in the review you leave :) And I'll choose which one can appear in the next chapter :)

Till next time,
