A/N- I'm so sorry, I feel terrible about this but I had to do it. I don't own Supernatural or Charmed.
Chapter 011
Addie was getting out of bed a week after her dream/astral projection ordeal when she heard Piper crying in her room. Concerned that something had happened to Leo, she went to see what was up. Piper was sitting on her bed, phone dropped in her lap, with tears flowing down her face.
"Piper," she asked softly, getting the older woman's attention. "What's wrong?" Piper looked at her, tears in her eyes.
"I just got a call from a friend of my Grams named Bobby Singer," Piper said. "A friend of mine just died." Addie immediatly felt an instant moment of sadness for her friend.
"I'm sorry," she said. "What was his name?" Piper looked up at her for an instant before answering.
"It was John." Piper said, "John Winchester." Addie felt an instant pain in her heart before she started crying. She didn't know why the death of a man she didn't know would hurt her so badly, but she was sobbing her heart out. Piper just reached out and held her, not sure of what else to do.
"I'm sorry," she said, gasping for air. "I don't know why I'm crying so hard, but it feels so horrible." Piper ran her hands up and down Addie's back, comforting the girl.
"It's okay, we all have to cry sometime." Piper said. After a while, Addie stopped crying so hard, letting out the occasional sigh, but mostly stopping. "Feel better?" Addie nodded before standing up.
"I'm going to make pancakes." She said getting up to go down to the kitchen. Piper nodded, understanding the need for comfort food. Addie went down to the kitchen and starting to gather the ingredients for pancakes. Leo came downstairs to help her make them.
"So, you had break down with Piper today, huh?" He asked, cracking eggs into a bowl for her.
"Yeah," she said. "I don't know what happened. Piper just told me about your friend, and I started crying." Leo looked at her with concern.
"Maybe you have an empathy gift," he said. She looked at him worriedly.
"Maybe," she said. "I hope not." Leo looked at her with understanding.
"I understand, Empathy isn't the easiest of gifts." He said. He walked over to her and cautiously put his arms around her. She leaned into him, needing the comfort. The phone rang, interrupting the moment. Addie decided to answer it, while Leo stirred the batter.
"Halliwell residence," she said.
"Hey, it's Darryl." The voice on the other line said.
"Oh hey, Darryl, what can we do for you?" Addie asked.
"We found a dead body and I think it's something you girls can help with." Darryl said. "Can you come down to the station?"
"I can get Paige to bring me." Addie said, "see you after breakfast?"
"Okay, Addie, see you then." Darryl hung up. She returned to Leo in the kitchen. He had just finished mixing the batter and was making bacon.
"Who was that?" He asked.
"It was Darryl," Addie said. "He said they had a strange body in the morgue he wanted us to check out. Thinks it's right down our alley." Leo nodded and Addie continued, "I told him I'd see if Paige wants to orb over there after breakfast. Piper has things with the club, Phoebe has to go to the paper and I know you have babysitting duty today." Leo grinned. "So that just leaves Paige and I."
"Makes sense," he said, he then took a closer look at Addie, who was beginning to fidget as she watched the pancakes cook. "Is there anything else you need to talk about?"
"Yeah," she said. "I think I astral projected the other night." Leo looked at her, startled. "I know we talked about the possibility, because of Prue, but I wasn't expecting it and it was kinda shocking."
"I bet," Leo said. "Where did you go?"
"I don't know," Addie said. "One moment I was in bed, the next, I was in a hospital room. There was a guy there in spirit form, he could see me, but the others in the room couldn't. He said his name was Dean and he'd been in a car accident caused by a demon."
"Maybe you went to him because of the demon." Leo said, "we do protect the innocents after all." Addie nodded.
"Maybe, I hate all this hypothesizing though." Addie shook her head, "I hate not knowing who I am." Leo nodded understandingly, the rest of their conversation was cut short as the sound of the sisters coming down the stairs caught their distraction. Phoebe was the first in the kitchen.
"Oooh pancakes," she said, sadness tinging her voice. "I guess we all need some comfort today." Paige followed, looking pale and sad and Piper was the last one in, holding Wyatt who was looking around, wondering why everyone was so upset.
"Who was on the phone?" Paige asked.
"Darryl," Addie answered. "He says there's something we need to look at." Paige nodded.
"So who's going?" Piper asked.
"You have things to do for the club today, Phoebe has work and Paige and I were planning a girl's day while Leo babysat," Addie said, "so I thought Paige and I could check it out on our way to the mall." Paige nodded her agreement and Piper frowned.
"Are you sure you can do this, Addie?" She asked. "I know you're going to be with Paige, but you're both relatively new at this."
"What better way to learn?" Leo, Addie, Paige and Phoebe all said at the same time, before looking at each other and laughing. Then Leo added, "I will be on call and ready to help if they need anything." Piper finally nodded.
"Okay, but be careful." She said.
"Of course," Addie said, before a feeling of dejavu washed over her.
Dean spent a couple of days rebuilding the Impala. He spent every moment he could working on it. When he wasn't, he was spending time with Zoe, who was usually content to watch him work, or get him tools or whatever needed to be done. Sam came out and would try to get him to talk but he would keep brushing it off, mostly because thinking about his dad, and Addie just hurt too much. He had fixed most of the car, but the trunk cover when he accidentally stripped out a bolt trying to get it off. Something inside of him snapped and he started beating the trunk with a crowbar. Zoe was just coming out with a bottle of water for him and a sandwich when she saw him.
"You know, ther are easier ways of fixing the car than that." She said, getting his attention.
"I'm aware," Dean growled at her. She looked at him and set his stuff down on a makeshift table that was near the car.
"I know you're hurting, Dean, and I really am sorry for that." Zoe said, "I'm here if you need to talk." Dean dropped the crowbar and looked at her.
"What about after we find Addie," he asked. "What then?" Zoe was surprised at his question.
"I don't know what you mean." She said, "what do you mean what then?"
"I mean what do you want to do after we find Addie?" Dean said. "Are you just gonna leave m-us?" He was looking at her intensly, fear mixing with something she couldn't quite identify in his eyes. She walked over to him and looked back at him, not sure what she was doing.
"I already told you that you're gonna have to leave me somewhere to get rid of me," Zoe said. "I can't imagine being anywhere else." Dean reached out and cupped her face, his thumb lightly grazing her bottom lip and she felt herself quiver slightly at the excitement running through her veins. His breath hitched slightly before he pulled his hand away from her. She almost whimpered at the loss of contact. He looked at her and smiled softly.
"You don't have to take care of us, Zoe." He said, "I know you have a life and family outside of this. You don't have to give it up." She looked at him disbelievingly.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" She said, "ever since Addie told me that you guys hunted the things that go bump in the night, things I knew were real mind you, I knew I wanted to travel with you. Yeah, I wanted it to be under different circumstances, but life goes on. The need to be with you runs in my veins like giant radioactive rubber pants!" Dean snorted slightly.
"Can't talk you out of staying with us, then." He smiled.
"Nope," she said, smiling back. "The pants command me, do not ignore my veins." He started laughing, realizing she'd been purposely misquoting the cartoon. She suddenly got serious. "I won't leave you, Dean. It would be easier to remove my heart." Realizing she probably said too much, she turned around to walk away when he caught her arm.
"Do you mean that?" He asked as serious as she'd turned. She nodded and he smiled at her, before leaning in to kiss her.
"Dean!" Sam's voice came through the junk yard. "Bobby has a hunt he needs us to do!" Dean groaned, pulling away from Zoe and looking at his little brother.
"Okay then, where are we going?" He asked.
"San Francisco," Sam said. "Bobby thinks it's a Werewolf."
Addie and Paige drove to the police station and were in Darryl's office shortly after breakfast. The detective was already there. Addie smiled at him and handed him a portion of the pancakes and a cup of coffee.
"Thanks, Addie, you're a lifesaver." Darryl said, sipping the coffee.
"Don't mention it," Addie said, smiling at the detective. "What did you need to show us?"
"The body's in the morgue." Darryl said, leading them. "It looks like an animal attack, but the heart is missing." Paige nodded to Addie and they followed the detective down to the basement. The body was shredded almost beyond recognition, but there were no bite marks.
"You said the heart was missing?" Addie asked. The mortician nodded. "Sounds like a Werewolf." Paige looked surprised to recognise him.
"That's Nate Mulligan," she said, shocking Darryl.
"Yeah," he said, "you know him?"
"Yeah, I used to work with him when I was a social worker. Good lawyer, bit of a letch, though." Paige said, "who found him?"
"His assistant, Madison Owens." Darryl said, checking his notes. "You know her too?"
"Yeah, we've gotten drinks together a time or two." Paige confirmed, "would it be okay if we stopped by and checked her out for signs of Werewolf bite?"
"Knock yourself out," Darryl said. They left the morgue and Paige got her address from Darryl before they left. Since they were already close, they decided to stop by that morning. When Madison opened the door, she was surprised.
"Paige Matthews?" She said, with a question in her voice. "What are you doing here?"
"Detective Morris sent us over," Paige said with sympathy in her voice. "He thought we might be able to help you."
"Help me with what?" She asked, letting them in.
"My sister and I," Paige motioned to Addie as she spoke. "Believe you're in a little bit of trouble." Madison looked surprised.
"Have you been attacked in the past month by anyone?" Addie asked her.
"Yeah, I was mugged last month, but what does that have to do with my boss's death?" Madison asked, confused. Before they could answer though, there was another knock on the door Paige and Addie looked at each other, startled. Madison recovered quickly and put on a robe to seem naked as she opened the door.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Madison Owens?" One of the men asked, raising his eyebrow, seeing her in only a robe. She nodded and he continued, "I'm Detective Dante, this is my partner, Detective Landis, we're from the SFPD, we have some questions for you about your boss, Nate Mulligan, do you have a moment to talk to us?"
"I've already given my statement," Madison objected.
"Just clearing up a few loose ends," The man said. Madison looked at them for a moment before nodding.
"Just wait out here for a moment, so I can put some clothes on." She said. Detective Landis nodded and she shut the door, turning to look at a very shocked Paige. "What do I do now?"
"We're gonna hide in your bedroom," Addie said. "Answer their questions, but don't let them know we're here. I don't think they're going to hurt you, even if they aren't from the precinct. We will explain why we're here after you talk to them." She and Paige went into the bedroom and sat down on the edge of her bed. Paige looked at Addie.
"What do we do if she is a Were?" Addie asked, "is there a cure in the Book?"
"I don't know, we'll have to check, and she'll probably have to be in wolf form for it to work." Paige said.
"We can ask Piper to look before she goes out," Addie said. Paige nodded and handed Addie her phone.
"Hey Piper are you at home?" Addie asked when the oldest Halliwell sister got on.
"Yeah, I am," Piper said. "I don't have to leave for a half hour, why?"
"Can you look up Weres in the Book really quick?" Addie asked, "we need to know if there's a cure."
"Okay, hang on a second." Piper's breathing became slightly labored as she jogged up the stairs. A few minutes later, Addie heard a rustling of pages being turned quickly. "Here we go, Weres. Yes there is a potion that can cure one, but they have to be in their animal form and it will only work if its the first full moon of turning. Does that help?"
"Yes it does, thanks Piper." Addie said, disconnecting.
"So?" Paige asked.
"There's a potion that will work if it's the first full moon. If not, it's vanquishing time," Addie said. Paige nodded. They listened to the two faux detectives asking Madison some questions about her relationship with her boss, and her personal life. Addie looked at Paige with some confusion as they listened.
"It sounds like they know what they're looking for." Addie said.
"They're probably hunters," Paige responded.
"Could be handy to have in a tight spot," Was Addie's next comment. Paige nodded, they heard the two leave with a promise to be in touch if they had any questions. After Madison shut the front door, she walked into her room. The two witches looked at her.
"Okay, Paige, spill." Madison said, "those guys were looking for something. What's going on?"
"It's complicated," Paige began. "Maybe we should sit down." Madison led the way into the dining room where they sat down at the table.
"Okay the simplest explanation is we are witches." Paige said, Madison made a scoffing noise. "Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but we can prove it."
"All right then, prove it." Madison said with a challenge in her voice. Addie raised her eyebrow at her.
"Madison needs to know what we say is true, so turn her hair blue," Addie said. Madison's hair turned a bright blue. Addie then caused a mirror that had been on the wall to float over to them, showing Madison her new hair color. Madison raised her eyebrow.
"Seriously?" She asked with some surprise. "I challenge you to prove that you're witches and you magically turn my hair blue and cause my mirror to float?" Addie smirked.
"Just keep looking at the mirror." Addie said. "She doesn't believe what's seen, turn her eyes green." Madison's eyes instantly turned a poison green.
"Whoa, okay then." Madison said. "So you're witches? How can you help me?"
"First of all, Addie, change her back." Paige said.
"Okay, okay." Addie said, thinking for a moment before saying. "Now that Madison has learned, her original looks need to be returned." Madison's hair and eyes turned back to their original colors and she laughed slightly.
"Now back to your question." Paige said, watching as Addie sent the mirror back to where it had been. "We believe you were the one who attacked your boss." Madison looked at her with some surprise.
"And that helps me how?" She asked.
"Well we don't think you were human when you did it." Addie clarified. "We think that when you were mugged last month, it was really a Werewolf attack, we can brew a potion to cure you, but you have to be in wolf form for it to work and we have to kill your sire first. Plus this would have to be the first full moon in which you changed."
"And what if it doesn't work?" She asked, "would you kill me?"
"We could lock you in a cage for nights of the full moon," Addie said, trying to be helpful.
"Is your potion guaranteed?" Madison asked.
"Nothing is guaranteed, except death." Addie said. Madison swallowed and nodded.
"Go ahead and look," she said. "If I'm a Werewolf, do what you have to do." Addie nodded and immediately went to the back of her neck. She lifted her hair and looked at Paige.
"Looks like Cujo did get his teeth in you," Addie said, "you said it was last month right?" Madison nodded.
"We will have to find your sire before we can cure you." Paige said, "it's obvious that he's marked you for a mate, so we would have to kill him." She looked uncomfortable with the thought. "Where were you when you were attacked?"
"Hunter's Point," she answered. Addie and Paige exchanged glances.
"Sounds like we need to check it out." Paige said, "but we'll have to have Piper and Phoebe with us, they won't let us go alone."
"Right." Addie said, before looking at Madison. "You need to lock yourself in a closet tonight before you go to sleep. Don't have anyone over, we'll see you tomorrow after we find your sire and get rid of him." Madison nodded and they left, not noticing the Impala parked across the street from them or the two brothers who were watching them.
Dean and Sam watched the two redheads get into the light green bug that was parked outside Madison Owen's apartment building. Zoe was asleep in the backseat, as she was exhausted, having driven most of the way so the boys could rest. As the bug drove away Dean looked at Sam with a worried look.
"Think they're gonna be a problem?" He asked. Sam shrugged.
"I don't know, as long as they don't distract us from the job." He said to his older brother. "The younger girl kinda looks like Dora, though."
"Just because she is around the same height, and has red hair." Dean said, dismissively. "She should be in the MidWest, Sammy, not on the west coast." Sam nodded, sighing.
"What are we going to do about the Werewolf?" He asked.
"We should check out the ex boyfriend, he sounds like our Cujo." Dean said, chuckling as they pulled away from the curb.
"So, Mall?" Addie asked Paige.
"We really should make a vanquishing potion for the Were." Paige said.
"Or we could just get a silver bullet, or silver knives and fling them at him," Addie said, dismissively. Paige snorted. "Come on, Paige, we can make a vanquishing potion in like ten minutes and you know Phoebe and Piper aren't going to want us to go out by ourselves." Paige agreed and they started driving to the mall. "It's not just for show, Paige's hair is now rainbow." Addie whispered. Paige's hair turned a bright array of colors.
"What was that?" Paige asked.
"Nothing," Addie smirked. Paige looked in the mirror to check lanes before changing lanes, but got distracted by the rainbow hues in her hair.
"Seriously?" She asked. "You are so gonna get it." Addie giggled while Paige thought up a quick rhyme.
"I need to get in on the fun, turn Addies hair the color of the sun," Paige grinned as Addies hair turned yellow. Addie giggled.
"This is getting good, make her hair change for her mood." She said smiling. Paige shook her head, as her hair turned bright pink. They pulled into the mall and Addie scampered out of the car before Paige could retaliate. It didn't stop her though.
"Orange with Purple stripes is whats wanted, change it now before I am haunted," Paige chanted and Addie's hair changed accordingly. She laughed at Paige before the two bounced into the mall.
"I need some new pants," Paige said.
"I need a new corset dress," Addie said, "for the next night I work at the club."
"Why do you like those?" Paige asked, "they're so restrictive."
"But they make me look fantastic!" Addie said. "I should also get some new underthings too. I like knowing I look pretty underneath my clothes, even if I don't want someone to see them."
"Plus you never know when you'll find someone," Paige said. Addie felt a weird skip of her heart and she knew something was missing. She quickly dismissed the feeling and the girls walked into the mall. The afternoon was spent shopping and having a fun time. Paige got the jeans she was looking for and Addie got a purple and turquoise dress, it had a mini skirt that was tutu style and while the top wasn't corsetted, like she had orginially wanted, it was form fitting and Paige agreed she looked fantastic. They also stopped by a Victoria's Secret and bought underwear to match her dress and some killer black stillettos. Both girls were happy with their purchases and headed back to the manor to make the vanquishing potion. That evening, before Piper went to the club, they talked about the Werewolf problem. Piper agreed that Phoebe, Paige and Addie should go look for it while she went to run the club.
Paige orbed them to Hunter's Point and they immediately split up to look for the Werewolf. Addie, wanting to perfect her glamour charms, had turned her hair blonde and her blue eyes brown and dressed like a prostitute. She carried the vanquishing potion, and walked briskly. After about three hours, the sisters met up and agreed that there would be no wolf attacks in that area that night, so they would come back the next night.
Zoe paced the hotel room. She was sure Sam and Dean had left her ther because they were just doing research on the Werewolf and they weren't sure who it was. Zoe had listened to them and her vote was on the paralegal, but she didn't say anything. She did glare at Dean when he mentioned how pretty this Madison Owens was, but figured that she had no right to say anything about it. She was getting sick of being stuck in the room, though and she wanted to go out. Thankfully, there was a TV and she decided to just sit there and watch it. It was nearing two AM when the boys finally came back.
"So you definantly think Kurt is the wolf?" Sam asked.
"Well, yeah, it was near his apartment, if it's not him, then who?" Dean reasoned. "That cop won't be able to tell us, poor bastard lost his heart." Zoe looked up as they came in.
"Everything all right?" She asked.
"Yeah, but we are going to ask you to keep an eye on Madison while we go check on Kurt in person," Sam said. "Neither one of us wants to be alone with her."
"Keep an eye out for mysterious redheads," Dean added. "There were two of them in a green bug there today, I don't know what they know, but I think they're involved. Zoe nodded taking her assignment seriously.
The next morning, Addie skipped down the stairs feeling very light and happy. Paige was already there making omlettes. She handed Addie one that was filled with sausages and mushrooms along with the swiss cheese she loved so much. She did think the omlette was too big, so she gave half of it to Leo, who wolfed it down without a problem. A wistful expression crossed her face.
"What?" Leo asked her. "I feel like there's somebody I'm supposed to be sharing my morning eggs with. I just don't know who."
"Did you dream again?" Leo asked. She shook her head no, "at least not that I remember." Paige handed her a cup of coffee and she sipped it, wondering if the person she knew she was missing, even if she couldn't remember him, missed her too. After breakfast, Paige and Addie orbed into Madison's bedroom. They heard voices in the living room, and they recognized them as the faux Detectives from the other day.
"Be better if one of us stay here to protect you," they heard the one who called himself Dante say.
"I wish we could get out there and see them," Paige said.
"I could turn you into a man," Addie offered.
"Turn yourself into a man," Paige snapped.
"No, you lost the prank war." Addie snapped back. Paige sighed and nodded so Addie whispered. "In order to complete our plan, make Paige look like a man." Paige changed into a very handsome man, and she sauntered out into the living room, much to a very shocked audience.
"Hey baby, what's going on?" She asked, kissing Madison on the cheek and whispering in her ear. "It's me, Paige, go along with it."
"These two detectives are here to offer me some kind of protection." Madison said, emphasizing the word detective. "They want to leave this girl here to guard me." Paige looked over the three people there.
"Is this about that wolf attack on your boss?" She asked. Madison nodded, "A little extra protection can't hurt, just remember what we talked about." Madison nodded and Detective Dante made a scoffing noise. Paige looked at him and narrowed her eyes.
"Tell me detective, do you know Detective Jenkins?" She asked, "he's a good friend of mine. Why don't I ask him why you're still harassing my girl." Addie heard this and rolled her eyes, of course Paige would overact, she really needed to tone it down a couple of notches. Detective Landis' eyes grew wide and he quickly said, "no need to involve Jenkins, just want to add some protection." Paige nodded.
"Like I said, good idea." She said, "Now if you'll excuse us, I need to get ready for work and Madison here needs to give me a proper send off." She winked voyeuristic-ally before dragging Madison to her room. When they got there, she turned and glared at Addie. "There, change me back now." Addie smirked.
"I don't know, Paige, you make a cute guy," Addie said. "I don't feel very poetic at the moment." Paige glared at her and she put her hands up in mock surrender. "Since what we need is done turn Paige back to a woman." Paige turned back into her womanly shape and she rolled her eyes.
"Sorry about that but we needed to talk to you privately." Paige said. "Did you get out of your room?"
"I don't think so." Madison said.
"Good," Paige answered. "We looked for the Were last night and had no luck. There are still five nights left. We will find him and cure you. We already have that potion made." Madison smiled before looking at the door to her room.
"What about them," she asked.
"We're pretty sure they're demon hunters," Addie said. "They're here to protect you, even if they aren't cops." Madison nodded.
"Okay, you track down this Werewolf guy, kill him, and then cure me?" She asked.
"That's the plan," Addie said.
"We have to go," Paige said, "we'll check in on you tomorrow." Madison nodded and turned her back to leave her room. She heard a twinkling noise behind her and turned to see Paige and Addie gone. She shook her head and walked into the living room.
Paige and Addie orbed back to the manor. Addie was smirking and Paige was kinda irritated.
"Remind me again why I had to be the guy?" She asked.
"Because you lost the hair war yesterday, and because I said the encantation before you could." Addie said, smirking even more. Leo heard them and came downstairs.
"What happened?" He asked.
"The two fake detectives that we think are hunters were at Madison's when we orbed in." Paige said. "Addie disguised me as a guy so we could tell her we were there."
"Okay..." Leo trailed off confused, "and what does this have to do with hair color?"
"It's like this," Addie said, thinking quickly and turning to Paige to whisper, "Do you think we should show him?" Paige nodded.
"You do it though," She said. Addie agreed and turned to Leo, who was now watching them warily.
"This is a spell, simple as a flower. No need for a big stink. Lasting for an hour. Change Leo's hair bright pink," Addie said, Leo's hair turned bright pink and Paige snorted.
Leo looked in a mirror and admired the spellwork before looking at Addie, "it'll only last an hour?"
"Yeah, I've been practicing my glamour spells." She said.
"You're doing a good job at it." Leo said. "So you two have hair color wars to work on the spells?"
"Yeah," Paige said. "It's just so we can come up with rhymes on the spot for spells. Addie is really good at it."
"Really?" Leo said, interested in this new ability. "Can you change something into something else?"
"I turned Paige into a guy." Addie said.
"Show me," Leo said. Addie looked at Paige, who shrugged.
"In order to complete our plan, turn Paige into a man." Addie said, and Paige turned into the man from before. Leo whistled in appreciation, and Addie turned her back, using the earlier incantation. Paige shook her head as the magic washed over her again.
"I honestly can't believe how powerful you are," she said, bemusedly. Addie smiled, before yawning.
"I think I'm gonna go take a nap," she said. "Wake me up for lunch." Paige nodded as she left the room before looking at Leo.
"I think some things are starting to come back to her," she said. "Maybe." Leo shrugged.
"I still want to know why she was in that sewer if she didn't know she was a witch," he said.
"Maybe she was a hunter," Paige suggested. Leo looked at her in surprise, because he actually hadn't thought that before.
"I wonder if any young women have gone missing who fit her description," Leo said. "I guess I can start in St. Louis, as that's where I found her."
"If she's a hunter, she might not be on record," Paige pointed out. Leo nodded.
"It's a start though." He said, Paige agreed with him before yawning widely herself.
"I think I'll take a leaf out of Addie's book and go take a nap as well," she said, leaving the room. Leo stood there for a moment before smiling. He actually had a place to start, so he could help Addie find the people who were hopefully looking for her.
Meanwhile, Addie was astral projecting again. She was in a hotel room with two beds there were two guys in the room. Both of the guys were arguing about something, but she really didn't understand what. She recognized the one guy who'd called himself Dean, but the other, more devastatingly gorgeous one, she didn't know.
"Damnit, Sammy!" Dean yelled, "I know you think you saw Addie yesterday, and if we weren't on a hunt, I'd help you turn every brick in this town over looking for her. Obviously, she doesn't want to be found, or we would have found her by now." Sammy looked like his world was ending. "Isn't it enough to know she's alive somewhere?"
"Yeah, Dean. I guess it will have to be. I can't believe Zoe agrees with you on this one." Sammy said. Addie was surprised that these two men knew her, but she didn't have a clue who they were. The weird thing to her was that she felt like she should know them. She felt a pull on her line and realized her body was waking up, so she willed herself back to it. She gazed at the two men who meant something to her, but she didn't know what. She sat up and got out of her bed, flipping her hand to make it. She then ran downstairs to find Leo. He was sitting in the living room, holding a fussy Wyatt.
"What did you do to him now?" Addie asked, teasing him. Wyatt turned to her and immediately orbed into her arms. "Oh, he wanted me." Leo rolled his eyes.
"Did you have a good nap?" He asked her.
"Yeah, except I astral projected again." She said, "It was to the same two guys as before."
"Maybe they mean something to you," Leo said. She nodded.
"They do, but I don't know what." Addie said, sounding frustrated. "I hate this. If it weren't for personal gain, I would write a spell to make my memory come back."
"Maybe there's a reason for this to happen." Leo suggested. Addie snorted.
"Yeah, the universe is having one over on me." She laughed. Leo smiled, she noticed Wyatt was asleep and she carried him upstairs to tuck him in. Then she went downstairs to make lunch, all thought of her dream out of her head.
That night Phoebe, Paige and Addie went to Hunter's Point to try their luck with the Werewolf again, and again they had no luck. Addie wasn't too surprised the Were hadn't shown it's wolfy face yet. The full moon wasn't officially until the next night anyways. The next day flew by, with the Hunters finding out that Madison was a Were, but they weren't too worried about being able to cure her. Paige had found out by listening that two of them were staying at the apartment to make sure she didn't get out while one of them were actually going to be looking on the point.
Piper and Phoebe were unable to go, but Addie and Paige assured them that they had this in the basket. They took enough vanquishing potion for an army, liquid silver, and they were the two most powerful. Piper reluctantly agreed to letting them go alone. Addie disguised herself as a blonde hooker again and Paige decided to be a brunette one. They split up to cover twice the distance. Addie had walked half of her route, when she heard the Were stalking her. As she turned to face it, it tackled her. She used her mind to push it off.
"Paige," she screamed, "I found him!" She heard two sets of footsteps coming from different directions as the Were lunged for her again. This time, she was prepared for it and she threw the liquid silver in it's face. The beast howled and snarled as she grabbed the vanquishing potion.
"Hey!" A male voice yelled, distracting her. The beast took it's advantage and pinned her down. It snarled less than an inch from her face and she shrieked as the guy shot a bullet into the beast. It went limp and she pushed it off her. "Did it bite you?"
"No, he didn't." Addie said, "Oh God," she ran off, looking for the girl she considered sister.
"Hey, don't mention it!" The guy yelled at her.
"Paige!" Addie yelled.
"Here!" Paige yelled back. Addie joined her, "did you get it? Why are you covered in blood."
"Hunter shot it," Addie said. "It pinned me down." Paige hugged her.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine, I would have vanquished it if the Hunter hadn't distracted me." Addie said, "but at least now we can cure Madison."
"Right, let's get home and clean off." Paige orbed them home and they each took a different shower. Addie spent a good hour making sure all the blood was out of her hair. Afterwards, she went downstairs and saw Paige just orbing into the living room. "I just checked on Madison. She's locked in a closet at the moment." Addie rolled her eyes.
"Is she totally wolfied out?" She asked.
"Yeah," Paige said.
"You know they aren't going to trust that the sire line cured her," Addie said. "We have to come up with a decoy." Phoebe came in at this moment.
"Decoy for what?" She asked.
"The sire for Madison was taken care of tonight." Paige said.
"Oooh, so you can try to cure her?" She asked.
"Yeah, the problem is the Hunters who will be sitting outside her apartment because they don't trust that the sire bond broke the curse." Addie said.
"Oh, so you need a decoy of some kind so you can bring her back here, put her in a cage and throw the potion at her." Phoebe said.
"Yahtzee," Addie said, then frowned. She had no idea where that came from. Paige suddenly had an idea.
"Why don't one of us trade places with her?" She said, "Just for the night. Addie can do the spell so we know it will work."
"Ok then." Phoebe said, "which one?"
"Either you or Piper," Addie said. "You can drive up to her apartment, walk in, we do the switch a roo, sister stays there, invites the hunters in so they aren't in their car all night and talk to them. I will orb Addie and I in and out, we can put Madison in a crystal cage and we can do it. They will never have to know."
"I think Piper, because if things do get hairy, she can freeze and call Leo or I," Paige said. It was at this moment when Piper walked in.
"Piper for what?" She asked, curiously.
"Playing decoy for Madison," Piper looked at the three of them.
"Okay, you better fill me in on what happened tonight." She said, over the next hour, they told everyone what happened on Hunter's Point that evening.
"The Were had you pinned?" Phoebe asked Addie.
"I had it weakened and the Hunter distracted me, giving it time to lunge. He saved my life by killing him." Addie said, "I probably should have thanked him, but I was too freaked out him showing up and throwing my game."
"I get that, I hate being interrupted." Piper said. "But then again, I usually freeze everything or just blow it up." All four girls laughed and then Piper said, "I'll be the decoy. So what's the plan?"
The next afternoon, Dean and Sam were sitting outside Madison's apartment on stakeout. Zoe had decided to stay in the hotel room and wait for them to come back in the morning, saying she didn't really like Madison all that much. Sam felt sorry for her because he felt some kind of kinship or something because of what he was going through. So they sat and watched. Nothing much of interest happened except a nice SUV pulled up and two beautiful brunettes got out and walked into the apartment building that Sam and Dean were guarding.
Piper and Phoebe walked into the building before Phoebe looked at her sister.
"Did you see that nice Impala?" She asked.
"The black car?" Piper clarified, Phoebe nodded. "Yeah, so?"
"I think that's the Hunters." Phoebe said. "There are just two guys sitting in the car doing nothing."
"Bit obvious for a stake-out car, isn't it?" Piper commented.
"Well at least you'll know who they are." Phoebe said. Piper shrugged as they got to Madison's door and knocked. Paige answered the door for her friend.
"It's about time," she said, "come on in." They entered and saw a rather nervous looking brunette sitting next to Addie. "Madison, these are my other sisters, Piper and Phoebe. Ladies, this is Madison." They exchanged pleasantries and explained the plan. Madison was a little skeptical.
"You are going to make me look like Piper and vise versa for the whole night, and sneak me out under those hunter's noses?" She asked, "they're the shoot first ask questions later type. If it hadn't been for the tall one, I would be dead by now."
"Got it, make nice to the tall one." Piper grinned. "Don't worry Madison, I have a special gift that'll get me out if any trouble occurs." Madison nodded and they all looked at Addie, who looked terrified for the moment. Then she cleared her throat and began to recite.
"So the hunters won't be a bother, Make Madison and Piper look like the other." She said. "Until I give the pitch, Make their voices switch. All this to protect, A sister with respect." When she finished the spell, a soft glow filled the room. A light breeze blew and Piper and Madison traded places. Madison, looked over her new hands and then at Addie.
"Okay, this is freaky." She said. Addie grinned, she was tired having never done it before, but glad it worked. "So I go with Phoebe and Piper will stay here?"
"That's the plan," Phoebe said. "Paige and Addie have their own way to get where we're going, they will meet us there." Madison nodded and followed Phoebe out to the car that was near the hunter's Impala. Phoebe couldn't resist making eye contact with the on sitting in the passenger seat and winking at him. They got into the car and drove for Halliwell manor without looking back. Paige and Addie beat them there as they had orbed in. Addie went to get food and Paige showed her the space that had been cleared in Addie's room for the crystal cage that was constructed to keep the Were side of Madison in the Manor. They had made a padded center for her to sit and everything.
"You're going to need to sleep for the wolf to come out," Addie explained. "I can give you a sleep potion, or we can try burning some soothing incense."
"I'll take the potion," Madison said. Addie nodded.
"Okay, I'll go get it." She said, "just get as comfortable as you can." Madison settled down as Addie ran into the kitchen. Leo was sitting there, staring at a cup of coffee. Addie watched him for a moment before speaking to him. "Leo, will you take Wyatt out of here for the night? We have a Were in the house and I don't think he needs to hear it." Leo nodded and orbed out of the kitchen. Addied took a deep breath before she grabbed the potion bottle. She then ran back up the stairs, to find Leo outside her bedroom door.
"Why does she look like Piper?" He asked.
"Because we did a switch." Addie said, "Piper is distracting the hunters disguised as Madison and Madison is here disguised as Piper." Leo just shook his head, in slight amusement.
"So you don't want Wyatt to see mommy turn into a wolf," Leo concluded.
"Right in one." Addie said.
"Makes sense." He said, before going to get his son and orbing out for the night. Addie shook her head and went into her room. Madison was stretched out on the pad laid down for her.
"Where's Paige?" She asked.
"Keeping an eye on Piper, in case the hunters are too smart for our good and figure out they've been tricked." Addie said. Madison nodded and Addie handed her the vial. "Drink this." Madison drank it and shuddered at the taste. "Sorry about that, extra flavorings make it worthless." Madison nodded her understanding as the sleep draught took affect and she fell asleep. Addie got her Were cure ready and watched. After about three hours, Madison started growling and shifted into wolf form. The wolf stretched then growled, lunging at Addie only to be stopped by the boundary made by the cage. She snarled at Addie, a glare in her blue eyes that promised death, but Addie didn't flinch she just threw the potion at the wolf form of Madison. The wolf howled as it's form was forced back into woman shape. Madison curled up and slept, a smile on her face. Addie breathed a sigh of relief that they had saved her.
The next morning, the hunters left, convinced that they had done a good job in saving Madison from the curse and when Paige saw their car pull completely away, she orbed to get Addie and Madison. Orbing was an interesting thing for Madison.
"How can you stand that?" She asked, "it's got to be like beaming in Star Trek." Addie snorted.
"We get used to it," she and Paige said at the same time and Madison laughed.
"I feel so much lighter," she said. "Like a weight I didn't know existed is gone."
"I'm glad," Addie said. "Now we just have to get you switched with Piper so you can go back to your life."
"But don't be a stranger." Paige said, "you know where we live, so feel free to come over, even if you aren't in mortal danger of becoming a beast."
"I will." She promised and they walked into the living room.
"Those guys gave me the creeps," Piper said. "The tall one was really nice and kind, but the other just kept cleaning his gun." She shivered. "Did you get it done?" Addie nodded.
"Want to go back to being you?" She asked, grinning. Piper nodded and Addie began to chant, "Piper has Madison's form and Madison has Piper's. Change them, just in reverse." The soft glow reemmited itself and the soft breeze as well. Suddenly everyone had their own proper shapes. With a final hug to Madison, the girls Orbed back to the manor.
"What now?" Sam asked. As Dean drove the Impala away from San Francisco.
"We find that yellow-eyed freak, and Addie." Dean answered, looking at him
"In either order," Zoe piped up from the backseat. Sam sighed.
"Sammy, we will find her." Dean said, "I promise." Sam nodded.
"I miss her so much," Sam said. "I can't believe I just barely got to have her when fate took her away from me." A tear fell down his cheek. Zoe reached up and mussed his hair.
"Don't worry, Odysseus," she said smiling at him gently. "We'll find your Penelope." Sam snorted, looking at her.
"Really?" He asked her. She shrugged.
"Your situation makes more sense to the Oddesey than Romeo and Juliet." Zoe said, "she's waiting for you to come to her. We will find her." Sam smiled at her.
"Thanks Zoe," he said before turning back to Dean. "Thank you. For just being you."
"No chick flick moments Sammy," Dean said smiling slightly before they drove down the road to their next hunt.
