(Fifth in series)
By LeoAngel
I’m holding a letter that
I wrote last night
Trying to remember what it
says inside
The words are written but
never been said
Your voice keeps calling in
my head I don’t believe its time
But I try to say goodbye
But I feel so lost inside
I don’t know my name and I
can’t erase what’s
weighting on my mind
Its says I believe in a red
eye plain
But I'm never coming back
again
You’ve heard this story a
thousands times
This song keeps playing in
your mind
I’m asking myself why
But I try to say goodbye
But I feel so lost inside
I don’t know my name and I
can’t erase what’s
weighting on my mind
I try to stay away
Try to write the words and I
trying to write the word goodbye
Try to say goodbye
But I feel so lost inside
I don’t know my name and I
can’t erase what’s
weighting on my mind
And I try to say goodbye
But I feel so lost inside
And I try to say goodbye
I try and I try
To say goodbye
And I try
To say goodbye try
Phoebe walked through the
long white halls. Her feet hit the ground without a sound. Maybe because the
ground underneath her was so soft. Cloud like, yes that’s what it felt like.
People hurried all around her but Phoebe wasn’t thinking of any of them. She
missed home, her sisters,
being alive.
Suddenly Pheebs smacked into
something and fell to the ground. Luckily the cloud surface didn’t hurt one
bit. In front of Phoebe Julie was on the floor.
“Oh I’m sorry Phoebe.”
She replied helping Pheebs up.
“Its ok I wasn’t looking
where I was going.” Phoebe muttered.
“Well I would love to chat
but I’m late for an assignment I’ll see you later.” Julie quickly excited.
Phoebe watched as the last
trace of her disappeared. Sighing to herself she headed to the living quarters
of this magical place. It wasn’t long before Pheebs made it to ‘her’ room.
Every whitelighter was issued a room most beginners stayed in their whitelighter
rooms. Other more experience whitelighters, like Leo lived in the mortal world
more than this place.
Phoebe traced her empty room
with her eyes. There wasn’t much in the small little dorm like room. Basically
just a cloud bed, which was very comfortable and a desk. Pheebs took a picture
out of her pocket. It was of Prue, Piper, Leo, and herself. They were having so
much fun and the more importantly Phoebe was alive.
Leo walked by Phoebe’s
room and stopped when he noticed her staring out into space. He looked over her
shoulder and saw the picture of them. He knew instantly what she was thinking.
“So how’s one of my
favorite whitelighters?” Leo asked letting
Pheebs know he was here.
Phoebe jumped a little not knowing someone was in the room. She quickly put the
picture away and faced him.
“So how do you like it up
her?” Leo continued knowing the answer.
“Its its……….
Nice.” Phoebe paused thinking what to say.
“Nice??? That doesn’t
sound very promising.” Leo commented. Phoebe fell back onto the bed and sighed
heavily.
“What are you doing here
anyway? I thought you would be taking some time of because of the whole
darklighter thing. I think it’s to soon for you to go back to work.” Phoebe
stated obviously changing the subject. Leo wasn’t going to let her get away
with it that easily though.
“Actually I’m not here
to work. I do have a few more days off.” Leo informed Pheebs.
“Then what are you doing
here? Piper and Prue are ok right?!?!” Phoebe exclaimed jumping off the bed.
“Yes your sisters are
fine…….. but…………. I wanted to know how the third Halliwell was
doing.”
“Well she’s doing
fine.” Phoebe said stubbornly.
“Phoebe I know adjusting
to this is kind of hard. Especial at first.” Leo replied. “So are you
truly doing fine?”
“No I don’t know what to
do. I mean since your back my sisters don’t need another whitelighter. They
are going to send me somewhere on another assignment. I
don’t wanna be away from
my sisters. I miss them so much and not seeing them every day drives me
insane.” Phoebe sighed. “How could I die? There was so much I wanted to do
so much I wanted to say. What about the power of three how could they destroy
that?” Phoebe exclaimed tears welled up in her eyes. Leo sat down next to her
and put an arm around her.
“I don’t know why this
happened. I wish it didn’t though.” Leo sighed wiping away some of
Phoebe’s tears.
“I want things to go back
to the way they we’re before. I just wanna be with my sisters fighting some
demon or something.” Phoebe exclaimed missing them so much.
“Maybe I can ask the
elders if you could be their whitelighter.” Leo suggested willing to do
anything to make her troubles go away.
“Why would they do that my
sisters don’t need two whitelighters? Especial now that I’m not even
alive?” Phoebe asked.
“They wouldn’t have
two.” Leo stated.
“What do you mean? What
about you?” Phoebe asked puzzled.
“I could ask to be
transfered or something. I could still find time to get to Piper.” Leo
explained.
Phoebe fell silent for a few
seconds and knew the answer. She couldn’t do that to Leo or Piper.
“No I cant do that. Piper
needs you. Plus you have been doing this for a lot longer than me. I wouldn’t
know how to help them as easily as you would.” Phoebe
replied.
Leo nodded glad she had said
that. He knew the elders probably wouldn’t even have gone for it. It took a
while for him to be ready to help the charmed ones even after he had trained.
“What am I going to do? I
can live as a whitelighter feeling empty and never seeing my sisters. Or I can
clip my wings be mortal and disabled.” Phoebe sighed
frustrated.
“Phoebe I’m not going to
tell you what to do. This is a big decision and only you know the right choice.
But I will tell you that whiterlighter is hard. Every time I have to orb away
from you guys I go crazy. Then it also has its rewards when you save someone you
get this feeling. In your heart you know what must be done. Just follow what
your heart is telling you. It will lead you the right way.” Phoebe sighed
knowing
Leo wouldn’t give her
anymore to go on.
“Well I have a meeting
with the elders.” Phoebe said standing up.
“Do you want me to
come?” Leo asked worried.
“No I have to do this
alone.” Phoebe replied. Leo nodded and gave Phoebe a hug.
“I don’t think I would
have been able to go anyways,” Leo replied looking at his watch, “They are
practically about meetings. Anyways I’m sorry but I have to go. I promised a
friend I’d help them do a little research.” Phoebe gave him another hug with
that he orbed out.
Phoebe sighed again tossing
her head back. Her haired gracefully fell back onto her
shoulders. She headed
towards what was known as the meeting hall.
“Boy they where creative
when thinking of that name.” Phoebe muttered staring at the large door in
front of her.
She whipped away a small
tear that had escaped her eye. She knew what she had to do she couldn’t be
selfish. Carefully Phoebe knocked at the large intimidating door. After a long
pause it finally creaked open. She found it weird that it opened without anyone
on the other side. Then again what wasn’t weird about this world. A light
shined blinding Phoebe momentarily. When the light lessoned Phoebe found herself
in front of four people in chairs.
“Phoebe Halliwell we’ve
been expecting you.” One of the whitelighters greeted staring at a paper in
front of him.
“We have an assignment for
you if you’re choosing to be a whitelighter.” The other one informed her.
Everything fell silent as
they waited for her reply. She found herself unable to answer them. Could she
really go through with this?
“Well….” The third one
urged on.
“Yes I am going to be a
whitelighter.” Phoebe replied just above a whisper.
“You do realize you are
forbidden to ever see your sisters again.” The only female commented. Her eyes
shined concern and doubt that she was ready.
“Ye yes I understand.”
Phoebe’s voice cracked.
“And you can’t have
contact with Leo.” The third one said sternly.
“Wha why?” Phoebe asked
she thought she could at least get updates from Leo. How could they take her
away from her sisters and now Leo two?
“He’s already broken
enough rules. I suggest staying away if you don’t wanna get him in more
trouble.”
Phoebe sighed. Was this the
only way for her to go?
“Fine.” She muttered.
“Alright here’s your
assignment.” A golden paper was handed to Pheebs.
“Look threw it and make
sure you’re out of her by tomorrow morning.”
With that Phoebe found
herself back out in front of the huge door. Phoebe looked over the paper it
didn’t have too much information on it. Just the location and that she would
be helping two witches out.
Phoebe walked back to
‘her’ room. She sat down at the desk and pulled out a piece of paper and a
pen. She sighed looking at the blank sheet of Piper. They said she could
never see them again. They deserved to know and not like this, but this is the
only way possible Pheebs thought. Phoebe chewed on the pen becoming nervous.
This was it she had to say goodbye. After a few minutes she finally took the pen
out of her mouth and place it on the paper.
Dear Pipe,
I know this will
crush you more than anyone. Sure Prue and Leo will take it hard to, but we all
know I’m closest to you. But I have to go now. They are making me leave you
guys forever. This is even forbidden but I don’t care. You guys deserve to
know what’s happen to me. I wanted to thank you for always believing in me.
You where the only one who stuck by me no matter what and I love you for that.
Plus I want you to know that you’re the only one that can make things better
when they’re down for me. You’re like the sun peeking out on a cloudy day. I
need you to know how much you mean to me. I looooooove you so much and always
will. Even though I love you, you know as well as anybody that things get in the
way. Please don’t come looking for me you will never find me. Don’t go hard
on Leo ether honey. He doesn’t know I’m leaving and no he won’t be able to
find me ether. I wish I could be
there for you now. Or at
least be able to tell you all these things in person. But it’s better this
way, this way you have no chance at stopping me. Remember I’ll
always love you no matter
what!
Love Always,
Pheebs
Phoebe traced the outline of
a tear that had dripped onto the letter. After reading it over one more time she
picked up another sheet of paper. She placed the pen on this sheet and started
to write again.
Dear Pruwy,
Oh god Prue this is so hard to say this. But I’ll be strong just like
you always are. I know if you where in my position you would do the same thing
as I am. I
have to go forever, never to
see you guys again. They are forbidden me to talk to my sisters or even Leo. I
just want to tell you how much you mean to me. I looove you so much even if I
don’t show it sometimes. I know I can say and do stupid things, but I hope you
know I don’t mean them. Please don’t blame yourself for me having to go. I
know you will think you are responsible but you aren’t. Know that I will
always love you and miss you. I wish I could say goodbye in person but I know it
would just hurt you guys more. I am sorry for any pain I have or will give you
now. Remember Prue everything happens for a reason.
Love Always,
Pheebs
Phoebe felt herself break
down after reading the second letter. How could she leave them forever? She put
her head on the desk and cried for a few minutes. She finally got herself under
control.
“Ok Pheebs just one
more.” She whispered to herself getting another piece of paper. She placed the
pen down to the paper and started to write the third letter.
Dear Leo,
I’ve always thought of you as more than just our whitelighter. Maybe
because you are so much more. Not just to Piper you know but to me two. You have
always been there when we needed you. I am so thankful for that. I’ve always
thought of you as an older brother. I’m going to miss that feeling. I have to
leave they
are sending me away. They
have binded your ability to find another soul at the moment. Don’t try and
find me because this is what was meant to happen. Please Leo
don’t blame yourself. You
and Prue are alike in many ways. One being that you both think you have to solve
every problem in the world. Meaning you think that if something goes bad that it
is immediately your fault. Well it isn’t everything happens for a reason.
You’ve told us that many times. Please just be there for Piper. She is going
to need you. Goodbye forever brother.
Love Always,
Pheebs
Phoebe sighed as she folded
the last letter. She pulled out some sand from her pocket and sprinkled it onto
her sister’s letters.
“Go to them.” She
whispered and let go of them.
They glowed blue and
sparkled. They twirled around Phoebe as if they where playing tag. Finally they
gave up the game and started to dissolve. Phoebe watched as the
last trace of blue
disappeared. She then grabbed the third letter and went to Leo’s whitelighter
room. She tried to open it but found it was locked.
“Great now what?” She
muttered.
After thinking for a few
minutes it finally hit her. “Duuuuuuuuh you’re a
whitelighter dummy now
orb.” She closed her eyes and felt herself dissolving. In a few seconds she
appeared in Leo’s room.
It looked almost identical
to hers. They’re where a few pictures around the room of him and Piper. And
one of them all. She sighed and placed the letter on the desk next to the
picture of all of them. She looked one more time around the room and
orbed out forever.
Phoebe appeared on a street
what looked like to be the middle of nowhere. She looked down to her assignment
paper to make sure this was the right place.
“I bet they don’t even
have a mall.” Phoebe sighed, “Not that I would have money to buy
something.” Phoebe walked until she reached the house that the witches
where suppose to live in.
“How am I suppose to get near them if I don’t know anything about them?”
Phoebe exclaimed to the air.
Suddenly the paper she had
received started to glow. Writing appeared, “Acting,
Writing, collage?” Phoebe
questioned reading the three words that had appeared. “What the hell does that
mean?” Getting no reply Phoebe sighed. “This is going
to be harder than I
thought.” Phoebe muttered, “Guess I’ll start at the collage here. Do they
even have one?” With that Phoebe orbed out.
A few seconds later she
appeared in front of a large building. She knew this had to be the place. Phoebe
felt tears well up in her eyes when she thought about her own collage. She never
even got to finish. After a few seconds Pheebs whipped them away deciding she
wouldn’t feel sorry for herself anymore.
Phoebe walked into the
building and went up to a lady at the front desk.
“May I help you?” The
lady asked not even looking up.
Phoebe took out some blue
dust and blew it in her face.
“I want to enroll her no
questions asked. Do you have any acting and writing courses?” The lady nodded
as she stared off into space.
“Ok I want to enroll in
them then.” Phoebe replied.
She was handed a paper and
ten minutes later she was now apart of this collage.
“I have class in a half
hour.” Phoebe commented.
After rooming around
exploring the collage Phoebe got to class a bit early. She entered the big room
and found a few girls circled around each other chattering.
“How am I going to find
her if I don’t even have a name?” Phoebe muttered.
The assignment paper glowed
again. Phoebe smiled she loved when it did that. “Andrea, and Amanda.”
Pheebs read what had appeared. At lest I have names now Phoebe thought. She
decided to just sit down and maybe the teacher would somehow call one of their
names.
“Hey may I sit here?”
Phoebe asked a girl who was reading in the back row.
“Sure no problem.” She
replied putting down her book.
“My names Andrea.”
Phoebe almost choked hearing the name. What good luck.
“I’m Phoebe.” Pheebs
replied smiling. Andrea brushed her brownish blonde hair back into a ponytail
and smiled.
“So are you new here?”
“Yes I just enrolled.”
Phoebe answered.
“Do you wanna be a
writer?” Andrea questioned.
“Yeah of course writing
and acting are my life!” Phoebe exclaimed. Although it wasn’t really true
but Pheebs knew this was the way to go.
“Really me two well at
least for writing. Although my sister loves to act.” Andrea exclaimed. She was
getting really excited Phoebe sounded like the perfect friend for her.
Andrea and her sister had
just moved to this small town after their parents had been
killed. She hadn’t made
many friends her most of the girls where snobby.
“Your sister doesn’t
happen to be Amanda?” Phoebe asked hoping it was.
“Yeah how’d yeah
know?”
“Oh I saw someone in the
hall that looks like you but they called her Amanda.” Phoebe lied.
“Oh yeah we’re twins we
look a lot alike.” Andrea commented. “She’s cool but as always little
sisters can be annoying.”
“Little sister?” Phoebe
questioned.
“By a minute.” Andrea
laughed. “So do you have any sisters or brothers?” Phoebe was shocked by the
question. She didn’t know how to answer it. After a few minutes of silence
Phoebe knew she had to finally admit this to herself.
“No I don’t have any
family.” She replied.
“No parents?” Andrea
questioned a sad expression on her face.
“No my mom died when I was
really young and well my father left.” Phoebe answered not knowing why she was
telling this girl everything about her life.
“Oh I’m so sorry. I kind
of know how you feel. My parents died a few months ago in a car crash. There
where to many memories back there so we moved her. My
sister and I.” Andrea
sighed.
“I’m so sorry.” Phoebe
replied she knew how this girl felt.
“Its alright. Anyways do
you wanna maybe come over after class?” Andrea asked hopeful.
“Yeah that would be fun. I
don’t start my acting class tell tomorrow so that will work out.” Phoebe
smiled glad she would get to know her.
“Great.” The teacher
came in and they started class.
***********************************
Back at San Francisco a very
tired Piper walked into the manor. She had been working almost round the clock
at P3. She sighed falling back onto the couch. After a few minutes Piper started
to drifted off to sleep. Blue orbs appeared and Leo formed in front of her. He
smiled looking down at his sleeping love. Leo carefully picked her making sure
not to wake her. She had been working hard at P3 and Leo didn’t want to
disturb her. He orbed to her
room and put Piper down onto the bed. Leo noticed and envelope on one of her
pillows. He picked it up and noticed blue and gold dust marks on it.
“That’s whitelighter
powder.” Leo commented examine the letter.
He put it down on Piper’s
desk holding his curiosity in. When Piper awoke he would find out who it was
from. He laid down next to Piper and wrapped his arms around her. She sighed
deeply as she snuggled closer to him.
An hour went by tell Piper
finally awaken. Leo had stayed awake the whole time just holding her.
“Hmmm Leo you should have
woke me up.” Piper commented as they kissed.
“Ahh but you look so cute
when you’re sleeping.” Leo replied.
“I missed you.” Piper
sighed wrapping her arms around him.
“Sorry that research took
longer than I thought.” Leo commented.
“Its ok I had to work at
P3 most of the time you we’re away.” Piper informed him. “Speaking of P3 I
have to get back.”
“Already honey you’re
going to make yourself sick.” Leo sighed disapproval whenever Piper didn’t
take care of herself things went bad.
“Leo I feel fine. Now yes
I have to go.” Piper said sternly.
She unwrapped his arms from
her and got up. She noticed the envelope on the desk and picked it up.
“What’s this?” Piper
asked turning towards Leo.
“I don’t know I was
wondering myself.” Leo shrugged. Suddenly he heard the elders call.
“I have to go I’ll be
back soon take it easy.” Leo got up and kissed Piper. Then he orbed out.
Piper opened the envelope to
find a letter inside. It was written in blue glowing ink. She read it over not
believing what she was seeing.
Leo orbed into his
whitelighter room. He had to get some papers for the elders. He searched around
forgetting where he had placed them. Suddenly Leo noticed and envelope like
Piper had on his desk. It was next to the only picture he had of him and all the
sisters. He carefully ripped it open finding a letter inside. Leo looked over
the letter not believing his eyes. He felt a tear trickle down his cheek as he
read the last line over and over. “Goodbye forever brother.” He had always
thought of Phoebe as a little sister but he never knew she felt the same way.
“Oh Phoebe.” Leo whispered. Suddenly he started to get angry with the
elders, with himself.
“Errrr how could they do
this!?!?!!?! How could I have not noticed she was gone!?!?!?” Leo yelled. He
immediately orbed to the elders.
Piper fell to her knees
tears spilling out.
“How could this be
happening? How could she lose her sister again? It wasn’t fair. God why do the
elders cause so much pain.” Piper cried.
She brought her knees up to
her chest and hugged them. She didn’t want to lose Phoebe.
Prue walked into the manor
finding no one downstairs. She had been working really hard at the magazine. She
sighed deciding to take a shower. Prue walked upstairs
passing Phoebe’s room then
Piper’s. She stopped seeing Piper on the floor crying. Quickly she knelt by
her pulling her close.
“Oh Piper honey what’s
wrong. Is Leo ok?” Prue asked gently rocking her back and fourth. Piper
couldn’t control her sobs instead she handed Prue the note. Prue read the note
and suddenly felt tears well up in her eyes.
“Oh god.” She muttered
holding on to Piper tightly.
“She’s gone.” Piper
muttered.
“No honey we will find
her.” Prue replied trying to convince herself. She was figuring if a
whitelighter didn’t want to be found then they wouldn’t. After a while Piper
finally got herself calm.
“Lets go look in the book
of shadows.” Prue suggested helping Piper up to the attic.
***********************************
Phoebe and Andrea had
finally got out of class. Phoebe had found the lecture incredible boring. She
forced herself to stay awake though because Andrea seemed to enjoy it intensely.
“This is my car.” Andrea
said pointing to the forest green neon.
“Nice car.” Phoebe
commented getting in the passenger’s side.
Andrea drove them to the
house Phoebe had stood in front of before. They both got out and walked in.
Phoebe was shocked to see things floating all around the living room. Suddenly
they all fell down as Amanda saw Andrea had company. “Amanda!” Andrea
yelled. Panicking she raised her hands freezing the room.
“Oppssiiess I was just
trying to strengthen up my powers.” Amanda apologized embarrassed a little.
Andrea sighed and pointed to Pheebs.
“Well let’s hope your
other power works.” Andrea replied. Amanda walked over to Pheebs and put her
hand over her forehead. After a few minutes it glowed a
soft gold.
“There done.” Amanda
smiled proud of herself.
“Ok.” Andrea unfroze
Phoebe and pretending to be in the middle of a conversation. “Well this is my
sister Amanda.”
“Uh oh hi.” Phoebe
said confused she felt like she was missing something.
“Nice to meet you.”
Amanda extended her hand. Phoebe took it and smiled back.
“Likewise.” Phoebe
noticed that Andrea and Amanda looked almost exactly the same. If it wasn’t
for their eyes she didn’t think she would be able to tell them apart.
“Well it was really nice
meeting you but I have to steady.” Amanda said as she ran upstairs.
“Bye.” Phoebe replied.
The rest of the day Phoebe
and Andrea talked about nothing and everything. Phoebe
hadn’t had that much fun
in a while.
“Wow it’s late.”
Andrea commented looking at the clock. It read 11:00 pm. “And I haven’t even
had dinner yet.” Andrea laughed.
“Your right.” Pheebs
giggled. “I should probably get going busy day tomorrow.”
“Yeah ok.” Andrea and
Phoebe walked to the door. “Bye Pheebs see yeah later.” Andrea yelled as
Phoebe left.
As soon as she was gone
Andrea ran upstairs. She ran into her sister’s room finding objects flying
around the room again.
“Ugh Amanda Phoebe is
probably going to be coming over a lot so don’t do that.” Andrea sighed. She
hated how careless Amanda was with her magic.
“Ugh meanie.” Amanda
replied she hated how Andrea always thought she was careless.
“I’m going to bed good
night love you even if you are a pain in the butt.” Andrea said giving Amanda
a hug.
“Yeah yeah love you to.”
Amanda replied tickling Andrea.
“Hey…….. stop
that…….” Andrea laughed falling back on the bed. She started tickling
back. After a few minutes both girls where tired out and stopped tickling each
other.
“Alright now I really do
have to go to bed.” Andrea commented getting up.
“Nighty night sweet
dreams.” Amanda replied blowing a kiss towards Andrea.
“See yeah tomorrow.”
Phoebe looked around her
whitelighter room. She placed the assignment paper on her desk and sighed.
“I guess I should go to my
dorm room.” Phoebe muttered. She had got one from the lady when signing up for
collage. With that Pheebs orbed out to her new room.
Leo had finally returned
from his meeting with the elders. It hadn’t gone very well. They basically
yelled at him for yelling at them. And their whole speech about breaking the
rules and clipping wings again. He had only left because he knew if he stayed
longer they would clip his
wings…… or something worse. That wasn’t going to help him find Phoebe any
better. Leo orbed into Piper’s room frustrated that he didn’t know where
Pheebs was. He saw the opened letter on the ground and guess Piper knew.
“Piper!” Leo exclaimed
walking out of her room.
“Up here Leo!” Prue
yelled back. He guessed they were looking threw the book of shadows. Which was a
complete waste of time. There wasn’t a spell to bring
a whitelighter to you. Leo
walked into the attic to see Piper staring out into space while Prue was over
the book. When Piper saw Leo she quickly jumped into his arms. Burying her head
in his chest she muttered she’s gone.
“Phoebe left.” Prue
informed Leo.
“Yes I know.” Leo
replied grimly, “I just had a long chat well yell with the elders.”
“Are they going to bring
her back to us?” Piper asked lifting her head from his chest. He smiled weakly
whipping away her tears.
“I’ll do everything I
can.” He whispered pulling her close to him.
“Piper you should get some
rest. She had any sleep in a while Leo.” Prue said looking up from the book.
“Honey lets go to bed.
There’s nothing we can do tonight,” Leo said pulling Piper with him towards
the door. “Prue you should go to bed to. There isn’t a spell in there.”
Leo informed her.
“I have to try.” Prue
replied.
“I know but try in the
morning.” Leo said urging Prue away from the book.
“Fine yeah your right.”
Prue closed the book and followed them downstairs.
Leo led Piper into their
room while Prue went into her own. She looked over all
the pictures she had of her
sisters. Suddenly Prue noticed an envelope on her desk. She picked it up and
noticed it was the same as Piper’s. Prue sighed afraid to open it. After a few
minutes Prue opened the letter. She fell to the floor after reading it.
“Oh god Phoebe no you
don’t do stupid things. God this is all my fault.” Prue cried burying her
head in her legs.
The next morning Leo woke up
early not being able to sleep well. He felt responsible for Phoebe’s
disappearance. After all he was the last one of them she talked to before she
left. What had he said that made her think this was the right thing to do. Maybe
he wasn’t fit to be the
charmed ones whitelighter. Leo sighed pulling Piper closer to him. She sighed
softly and buried herself deeper into Leo’s warm embrace. He
softly tangled his fingers
threw her long slickly hair.
Suddenly Leo hear loud
smashes upstairs in the attic. He knew it was Prue she had gotten up early to
look for a spell. He assumed she didn’t find one like he said and was
frustrated. The noises got louder and he knew they would make Piper up soon. She
needed as much rest as she could get. Leo carefully unwrapped her arms from him
and got out of bed. He walked up the creaky stairs to find Prue and a room full
of objects
flying. A chaired came
straight at Leo he quickly orbed out of the way. Leo appeared behind Prue and
quickly grabbed her. He covered her eyes and everything fell to the ground.
“LET GO OF ME!” Prue
screamed struggling against Leo’s strong grip.
“Shhhhh Prue come on its
me.” Leo said turning her around. He pulled his hands away from her eyes
to let her see. Suddenly she broke down into tears falling to the ground. Leo
gentled pick her up and she buried her head into his chest as Piper had. He
slowly walked down the attic stairs and into Prue’s room. Leo laid Prue down
onto the bed but she didn’t let go. He sat on the bed with her tell she
finally cried herself to sleep. It didn’t take long since she had been up all
night crying.
“Goodnight Prue.” Leo
said pulling the covers around her.
“God we’re a mess
without her.” Piper whispered from the doorway. Leo turned around barely
hearing her.
“We’ll get her back.”
Leo replied taking Piper in his arms. “I’m going to go look for some clues.
If its alright with you if I leave.” Piper held on tightly and nodded. “Go
back to bed hone Leo whispered gently pushing her into her own room.
“I love you.” Piper said
kissing Leo softly.
“I love you two.” Leo
caressed her cheek and smiled.
“I’ll make things
better.” With that he orbed out.
Piper stared at the spot Leo
had been suddenly becoming frighten. The elders obviously didn’t want them
near Phoebe what if they hurt Leo for looking for
her. Piper quickly banished
the thought and walked into Phoebe’s room. She laid down on her bed and
tightly gripped onto the pillow.
Leo orbed into Phoebe’s
whitelighter room. There had to be something there that would tell him where she
was. He searched around the room for a few mintues not
finding a dam thing.
Suddenly Leo noticed a piece of paper on her desk. He picked it up and
recognized it as an assignment sheet.
“If she is still on this
assignment then she has to be here.” Leo muttered to himself not wanting to
get to excited. Leo’s first instincts told him to go tell Piper what he had
found out. Then he realized if it turned out Pheebs wasn’t there she would be
crushed.
Leo knew he had to go look
for her alone.
Phoebe walked slowly down
the hall. Her acting class was in the morning to her dismay. She yawned pushing
her hair behind her ear. Amanda saw Pheebs walking
towards her with her head
down. She could see that Phoebe hadn’t seen her yet.
Phoebe felt strong but
gentle hands grab her. She was ushed into an empty classroom. Amada saw this and
ran to help her. But it was to late the door was closed and locks. She tried to
open it with telekinesis but it was sealed with magic.
Pheebs punched at the person
who grabbed her, making his gripped slipped. Phoebe spun around to find Leo on
the floor.
“Owwww.” He replied as
Phoebe helped him up.
“Oh Leo sorry. What are
you doing here?” Phoebe exclaimed letting down her guard.
“What do you think looking
for you?” Leo replied.
“How did you find me?”
Phoebe questioned not believing he did.
“I’ve been a
whitelighter for over 50 years. You’ve been one for what 5 days. I think I
could find a new be whitelighter.” Leo replied.
“That may be believable if
the elders hadn’t strip you of that power. But I guess having my assignment
sheet helps.” Phoebe said looking towards the gold writing. She cursed herself
for leaving it their how could she have been so stupid.
“Yeah that helped to.”
Leo commented running his fingers threw his hair. “Phoebe what on earth are
you thinking. Your sisters are falling apart without you.”
Leo stated.
“Leo this is my job I’m
just falling your advice.”
“My advice whoa don’t
tell Piper that.” Leo exclaimed, “And I know I didn’t tell you to runaway
from us.”
“I’m just following my
heart.”
“I know your heart isn’t
telling you this. Phoebe we miss you, we need you.”
“You know as well as
anybody that we can’t always be where we want to. If I quite being a
whitelighter than I’ll be mortal. And I won’t be able to help people.
Innocents could die because
of me.” Phoebe exclaimed. “You shouldn’t even be here if the elders find
out………”
“I know what will happen,
but I promised Piper to bring you home. Are you going to break that promise?
Phoebe they aren’t ready to lose you.” Leo stressed.
“This is the way it has to
be Leo. I love you all you guys.” She pulled out some blue dust and blew it in
Leo’s face. “You will go back to Piper and forget about ever finding me. You
have search long and hard but you haven’t found me. You never will. Now orb
back to Piper she needs you.” With that Leo orbed out.
Amanda outside the door had
heard most of the conversation. She didn’t know what Phoebe was but she
wasn’t normal. She was probably here to steal their powers Amanda thought. She
quickly went into the acting classroom before Phoebe could see her.
Phoebe walked into acting
class. She sighed wishing she could go back with Leo. But this is how things had
to be. Phoebe spotted Amanda with her noise in a book
over in the corner. Geessh
that’s how I meat Andrea Phoebe thought. She walked over to Amanda and sat
next to her. She tensed up a bit as Phoebe came near.
“Hey there remember me?”
Pheebs asked.
“Yeah.” Amanda put her
book down. The rest of the class the girls didn’t talk to each other. Phoebe
felt some tension between them. She wondered what she did.
Amanda ran out of class
before Phoebe could say a thing.
“What’s up with her?”
Phoebe muttered. She looked at her watched she had a half hour before she was
suppose to meet Andrea.
Amanda went into a small
classroom and blinked home. Andrea jumped a while as her sister appeared.
“Amanda don’t do
that!” She exclaimed.
“Andrea Phoebe she she
Phoebe she’s umm” Amanda replied not being able to get it out. Andrea rolled
her eyes.
“Calm down she’s
what?”
“She’s supernatural”
Amanda burst out.
“What? When? How do you
know?” Andrea questioned spectacle. Phoebe was really nice and didn’t seem
the supernatural stuff.
“Trust me I know.”
Amanda replied.
“Oh man and she was really
nice.” Andrea complained.
“Lets go look threw the
book for something.” Amanda said pushing Andrea upstairs.
***********************************
“Did you find her?”
Piper asked as Leo orbed in. He stared at her confused forgetting what he was
suppose to be looking for. “Hello Leo did you find Phoebe?”
Piper asked again seeing his
confused expression.
“Oh no ummm I didn’t.”
Leo replied he felt like he was forgetting something. Piper sighed she had
really hoped Leo would have come up with something. Leo
pulled her into his arms
seeing her distress.
“Don’t worry I’m not
done yet.” He whispered.
Phoebe knocked on Andrea’s
door. She waited 15 minutes and no one came. Pheebs pushed the door opened
finding no one downstairs.
“Anyone home?” She
called out walking in.
After looking around
downstairs she went upstairs. Again she found nothing. Pheebs sighed she was
about to head downstairs when she saw another door. “Must lead to
the attic.” Phoebe
muttered walking up the creaky stairs.
Andrea was ready when Phoebe
entered the attic. She quickly threw up her hands and froze Phoebe.
“Ok how exactly do we
vanquish her if we don’t know what she is?” Andrea questioned.
“There’s a restraining
spell in her lets use that.”
“ bind your arms, not to
be moved
I tie your hands, your
strength proved
I restrain you here and now
I restrain you here with my
power”
Both girls chanted the
spell. Phoebe glowed a soft gold.
“Did it work?” Amanda
asked.
“Only one way to find
out.” Andrea replied releases Phoebe.
“Hey.” Phoebe said
trying to take a step forward she found that she couldn’t walk. Heck she
couldn’t move a muscle.
“What are you?!?!”
Amanda demanded.
“Huh?” Phoebe stated
confused.
“We know you’re not
human.” Andrea stated.
“Yeah I saw you with that
guy.” Amanda replied.
“Its not what you
think….” Phoebe started out.
“Oh so your not magically
and here for us.” Amanda blurted out.
“Ok so it’s a little
like you think. I’m a whitelighter.” Phoebe explained.
“Whitelighter?” Both
girls said in unison.
“Ummm a guide to witches.
I’m here to guide you guys not harm you.” Phoebe said now realizing what Leo
had gone threw. This whitelightering wasn’t easy. Amanda
eyed her not believing her.
“Who was the guy?”
“Co working. I don’t
even have any powers that would hurt you. Basically all I can do is orb and heal
someone.” Amanda pulled Andrea to the side.
“Do we believe her?”
Amanda whispered.
“I do. If something goes
wrong we have our powers. Lets release her.” Andrea replied. Amanda sighed as
Andrea searched for the reversal spell.
“ unbind your arms, so you
can move
I untie your hands, your
strength proved
I release you here and now
I release you here with my
power”
Phoebe again glowed gold and
was able to move.
“Lets go downstairs and
talk.” Andrea said.
All three girls went down
stairs and sat on the couch.
“So tell me about you it
will help me do my job.” Phoebe stated.
“Well you already know
about most of our outside magic activities. As for magic I have the power of
electricity, to read minds, and to freeze time.” Andrea informed Pheebs.
“I have telekinesis, can
blink, erase and give back memories.” Amanda replied.
“So what do you do?”
Andrea questioned. Phoebe was about to answer when suddenly a figure orbed in.
“GIVE ME YOUR POWERS!!”
He exclaimed throwing fireballs at them. Andrea quickly froze the fire but to
her surprise he didn’t freeze.
“Ahhh what do we do?!?!”
Amanda asked looking at her stumped older sister.
“I’LL BE BACK!!!” The
warlock/demon sneered. He then disappeared again waiting for the right time to
strike.
“Ok what demon was
that?” Andrea asked looking towards Phoebe.
“I dunno do you have a
book that tells about demons and stuff?” Phoebe asked.
“We have this it has some
little spells and information on some demons.” Amanda said giving her the
small black book.
“Dam.” Phoebe muttered
starting to appreciate the book of shadows even more.
Back at the manor Piper was
pacing around the manor like crazy. Long ago Leo had fallen asleep being
incredible tried from his search. Piper went into her room and sat next to him
on the bed. She softly touched his cheek a smiled. She knew he would get
Phoebe back somehow she just
knew. Piper got up to go check on Prue. Prue was very upset about this whole
thing. Piper knew she felt responsible. Prue was sleeping soundly on her bed.
She was glad that some people where at least getting some rest. Piper ran her
fingers threw Prue’s hair and looked at her pale skin. It pained her to see
Prue so sickly looking.
“Leo’s going to find her
I know he is.” Piper whispered holding onto her sister.
Leo tossed and turned in
Piper’s bed. He felt the sensation that he was forgetting something. Not only
that he got that weird feeling when something bad is about to happen. He sat up
not being able to hold on to the sleeping world. Suddenly he felt himself
dissolving into little orbs.
“What the…..” before
he could finish he was gone.
After finding nothing in
their little book Phoebe sighed. Now she really wished she had the book of
shadows.
“Ok well I’m going to go
ask the elders and see if they have any info for me.” Phoebe stated getting
up.
“Elders?” Amanda
questioned.
“My bosses don’t worry
bout it I’ll be back soon.”
With that Phoebe orbed out.
Amanda and Andrea looked on in amazement. Sure Amanda could blink but the blue
orbs she turned into where fascinating.
Piper walked back into her
own room after looking after Prue. She found the room empty. Piper began to
panic Leo wouldn’t have left without telling her.
“Leo!” She yelled but
got no reply.
Phoebe stood in front of the
council.
“I need some more
information on my assignments.” Phoebe stated.
“We have no information
for you. Whatever happens is suppose to.” One of them informed her.
“What?!?! You don’t
understand.” Phoebe yelled frustrated. They continued to argue.
Meanwhile Andrea and Amanda
sat down on the couch talking.
“I still can’t believe
Phoebe is a………..?” Andrea stated forgetting what she was.
“A Whitelighter.” Amanda
finished.
“Yeah whatever that is.”
“Well well looks like you
guys don’t have any more protection now that that stupid whitelighter is
gone.” The demon appeared again. Andrea and Amanda jumped up in surprise.
“Andrea what what do we
do?” Amanda asked as they slowly walked backwards.
“I don’t know I don’t
know try telekinesis.” Andrea replied. Amanda tried to throw him but nothing
happened.
“Ha only a whitelighter
can destroy me.” The demon laughed. A fireball appeared in his hand. “Your
powers will be mine.” He sneered throwing it at Andrea. She quickly threw her
hands up freezing it.
“Amanda get out of
here.” Andrea whispered.
“No I’m not leaving
you.” Amanda stated firmly back.
Andrea sighed at her
sister’s stubbornness. Why didn’t she ever listen to her? Another fireball
appeared in the demons hands. He smiled throwing it at Amanda. Andrea quickly
threw her hands up to that ball. As it was just about to hit Amanda it froze.
The first one unfroze and plunged right into Andrea.
“Andrea!” Amanda yelled
as her sister fell to the ground. The fire unfroze and she threw it away from
her with telekinesis.
“Ha your next!” The
demon exclaimed as another ball appeared. Suddenly blue and white orbs formed.
Phoebe appeared shocked to see what was happening.
“Errr not you.” The
demon roared.
Phoebe pulled out some blue
dust and blew it towards the demon. It circled round
and round surrounding him.
In a blast of blinding light her was gone. Amanda fell to her knees next to
Andrea tears formed in her eyes when she searched for a pulse. There was non she
wasn’t breathing ether.
“Don’t leave me. God
Andrea I love you! You can’t leave me.” Amanda cried embracing her.
Phoebe knelt down besides
them and placed her hands on Andrea. They glowed slightly after a few minutes
nothing happen. Tears spelt down her cheeks as she realized she couldn’t help
her friend. What’s worse is she wasn’t there to protect them.
Amanda cried uncontrollable. Phoebe tried to comfort her but didn’t get anywhere.
“How could I have let her
die like that? Why did she let go off the fire that would hit her? Why hadn’t
I used telekinesis? Oh this is all my fault.” Amanda kept muttering to
herself. Phoebe couldn’t stand it she had to do something anything.”
“Amanda I’m going to go
see if I can do anything will you be ok?” Phoebe asked gently rubbing her
back. She sniffed and whipped away some tears.
“Yeah I’ll be
alright.” She replied nodding.
Phoebe gave her a little hug
and orbed out. She reappeared in front of the elders who knew she would be back.
“Phoebe.” One of them
stated. This whitelighter was getting annoying.
“You have to let me do
something. Please it wasn’t Andrea’s time. I know it wasn’t and so do you.
Please you can’t do this to Amanda.” Phoebe pleaded with the elders.
“What’s happened has
happened there’s nothing you can do.” One of them stated harshly.
“This isn’t fair your
suppose to protect the innocent. She’s gotten rid of plenty of demons for you.
And if she were alive she would get rid of even more. You
can’t do this and I
won’t leave tell you do something.” The room fell silent. One of the elders
sighed.
“There’s only one way to
bring her back. This is Amanda’s decision if she does it then Andrea will
return to her body.” The elders told Phoebe what Amanda could do.
Phoebe orbed back to find
the living room empty. Suddenly Phoebe became panicked what if Amanda decided to
do something stupid. She ran upstairs into Amanda’s
room nothing. Phoebe then
rushed into Andrea’s room. She was curled up in a ball on her bed hugging a
stuff animal. Phoebe almost cried at the sight.
“How could I have let this
happen?” Phoebe muttered,
“Amanda are you asleep?”
Pheebs questioned softly.
“Hmmm go away I don’t
wanna go to school.” She muttered.
“Amanda.” Phoebe said a
little louder.
“What!?!” Amanda
exclaimed jumping out of bed. She monetarily looked at Phoebe in confusion. As
the past day events cleared threw her head she fell back onto the bed.
“The elde….. My bosses
said that there is a way to bring her back.” Phoebe stated waiting for a
reaction. Amanda jumped up again to face Phoebe.
“How? What?” She
questioned.
“Ok this is going to be
hard for you but they say it’s the only way.” Phoebe commented. She sat down
and Amanda did the same.
“Tell me.” Amanda
pleaded.
“They said you can save
her if you give up your powers. I know this is a huge decision but its yours to
make.” Phoebe explained. Amanda thought for a minute.
“I’ll do it!” She
replied.
“That quickly don’t you
need to think about it?” Phoebe questioned. “This is huge you would be
giving up half of who you are.”
“Doesn’t matter Phoebe.
I love Andrea and I would gladly give up my life for her. My powers are
important to me but not as important as Andrea is. She she’s my family the the
only person I have. Without her a part of me is dead. I know you would
understand if you had any siblings.” Amanda said tears fell down her cheeks.
“I do understand.”
Phoebe replied thinking about her own sisters. I would do anything for them
Pheebs thought. “Take my hand and I’ll orb you to them.”
Amanda obeyed taking
Phoebe’s hand in hers. They turned into beautiful orbs and disappeared.
Amanda and Phoebe reappeared
in front of the elders.
“She’s made her
decision.” Phoebe stated.
Amanda felt intimidated by
these powerful people. They looked like they made all the decisions on what
happened to whom.
“Well.” One of them said
at the silence. Phoebe elbowed Amanda a little.
“I want to give up my
powers. I want Andrea back.” Amanda replied.
“Are you sure?” An elder
asked.
“Positive.”
“Then it is done.” He
snapped his fingers and white orbs come out of Amanda. She then disappeared.
Phoebe orbed out after her
to see if it worked. Amanda woke up in Andrea’s room on her bed. She held her
throbbing head orbing or whatever really did a number on you she thought. After
getting herself together she remembered what happen.
“Andrea.” She whispered
running downstairs.
Andrea was still on the
floor. Amanda knelt down just as her eyes fluttered open. Tears of joy trickled
down Amanda’s cheek.
“What happened?” Andrea
asked groggily. Amanda tackled her in a hug.
“Oh god I loooove you.”
She exclaimed tightly holding on to her.
“Air please.” Andrea
replied laughing. “Love you two.”
Phoebe orbed in watching the
scene. She smiled Amanda may not be a witch any more but they are together.
Phoebe now knew where she belonged. After a long time
of hugging finally both
girls let go of each other.
“Thank you Phoebe for
helping me get Andrea back.” Amanda said helping Andrea up.
“Any time.” Phoebe
replied.
“Thank you Phoebe.”
Andrea repeated glad to be home, glad to be alive.
“I wanted to say thank you
to you two.” Phoebe commented.
“For what?” Both girls
asked in unison.
“I finally realize where I
belong. I lied to you I do have two sisters and a soon to be brother in law. But
I had to leave them because of the whitelighter thing. I finally realize that it
doesn’t matter if I have powers. The only thing that matters is I’m with
them. And if you hadn’t showed me that I don’t know what would happen to
me.” Phoebe explained. Andrea and Amanda both smiled.
“You would have figure it
out on your own.” Amanda stated.
“So I guess this is
goodbye.” Andrea commented tears stinging her eyes.
“Not forever. I know are
paves will cross again. Remember I know where you live.” Phoebe replied
hugging Andrea.
“I’m not sure if
that’s a good thing.” Amanda joked.
“I’m going to miss you
guys.” Phoebe cried having gotten attached.
“Don’t worry like u said
we will meet again.” Amanda hugged Pheebs.
“Bye.” Andrea said
whipping away a tear.
“Goodbye for now.” With
that Phoebe orbed out. Going back to where she truly belonged.
