A/N: A double update! Don't you guys feel special? Anyways tell me how you feel.
Chapter 11 - Prelude to a storm.
The mirrors were mocking her. Murderer one of them sneered. Soon that was all she could hear. Murderer. Murderer. MURDERER! "SHUT UP!" She screamed. At once all of them smashed sending the sharp knife like pieces flying in the air. Breathing heavily she collapsed to her knees.
Sirius was dead. Dead. And it was her fault. She knew that the Source and Voldemort would be out looking for revenge for her refusal but she ignored the signs and continued as normal. Now she reaped the reward of such a brilliant idea. A cold stiff dead Father. "You know…I could help you" her voice said. She looked up through tears and saw herself looking down.
But this face was different to hers. Instead of her normal colour eyes she found herself looking at an image of her with black soulless eyes. "How did you get in here" she asked her voice hoarse from sobbing.
"Easy. I am you…Did we not cover this already? I'm the dark side of you…the one who can help you get payment"
"Payment?"
"Revenge" The reflection said simply.
"How"
"We kill every motherfucking piece of scum" It replied.
"Deal" Scarlett whispered. Smiling the reflection stepped into her. A cold feeling swept over her and then there was nothing. No fear, no mourning. Only power. It was always about power. Smiling Scarlett began to make a list.
After apparating out on Chris she wandered around the park for a while. A little kid came up to her and said "Nice eyes miss". She turned and snarled causing him to shriek and run away. Smiling she walked through the park.
The hatred she felt was still there but there was something else with it. Acceptance; the whole world revolved around power. Who has it, who knows how to use it, and she certainly knew how to use it.
But there was one problem. She had limited power. Sure she was powerful, even she knew that, but it wasn't enough. There needed to be more power; there had to be. Like Charmed power. There was no magical force grater than it there once was but that had long since been destroyed. Smiling again she made a plan before apparating back to her home.
He had to tell her about Scarlett. He knew this, so why couldn't he? "Hey Chris sweetie what's the matter?" his Aunt Paige asked.
"It's about Scarlett" he said.
"What about Scarlett" His mother asked while closely followed by phoebe.
"I went round to her house and well….She doesn't look good" He said.
"In what way not good?" His mum asked
"We had an argument. We went demon hunting earlier for a specific demon but instead of leaving afterwards she stayed and took on some unknown ones. Then when I said about her crossing a line she couldn't turn back from she said she wasn't coming back"
Paige opened her mouth when the door flew open bouncing back slightly as it hit the wall with a bang. A wind blew inward as they rushed out to see what was going on.
Scarlett was floating on air as she burst into the Manor. She had black eyes that gleamed as she took in the four witches before her. "Scarlett what are you doing?" Phoebe asked
"It's not enough" She said holding out her arm. The book of shadows flew from the attic and landed in her arm. It began to slip away when she waved a hand over it and it stopped resisting.
"Bo-"Paige began before Scarlett pinned them to the wall with the air.
"I need more power" She said as her hand turned faint. She pushed it deep into the book and sighed closing her eyes.
"What's she doing" Piper screamed as she struggled against the bonds.
"She's draining the magic from the book" Chris realized horrified.
Satisfied she dropped the book onto the floor. "That's better" She said turning her attention back onto the family.
Just then a column of blue lights filled the room. "Hey Mom I'm ho-"Wyatt began before switching into battle mode.
"So this is the twice blessed? I gotta say…Thought you'd be smaller" She said flicking her wrist sending him flying into the wall where he was subsequently pinned.
She floated closer to him and studied him. Her hand turned faint again and she plunged it deep into his chest. Instead of closing her eyes like before she widened them and gasped. Dropping her hand away she gripped the wall for support as she slid to the floor.
"Whoa…Head rush" She laughed breathily "It's like…no living thing should ever have this much power…I feel connected…I feel everything. I feel…Oh god…I feel everything…all the emotions…Everything…Oh god you poor bastards…The pain needs to end!" She said before apparating out again.
The Halliwells dropped to the floor. "Wy…What did she do to you"
"She stole my magic" Wyatt said shell shocked. Being the twice blessed he rarely felt powerless but now after being bested by another who then stole his magic, he felt weak.
"What did she mean when she said she could feel all the emotions" Phoebe asked standing to her feet after checking to see if she or the baby was hurt.
"She once told me that any object like the books are powerful. You got your powers from the book. She took on aunt phoebe's empathy powers and then couples with the extremities of stealing Wyatt's…She could literally feel the worlds emotions" Chris theorized.
"So then why did she stop? If she was all about stealing power why not go for the source of it. Us" Piper asked.
"Didn't you hear her…She said 'The pain needs to end'. What the heck does that mean" Paige asked.
"She's going to destroy the world" Remus Lupin said standing in front of the door next to Terrence.
