Chapter 2
    “The search…”

    Billie was having this dream. She couldn’t say it was weird, being a witch, weird was part of her life. She had spent her life looking for her sister, only to find out that her sister was corrupt, she had turned bad, wreaking havoc almost ruining her relationship with the Charmed ones for good. She was forced to kill her sister, because in the end, the great good always comes on top. Years ago after her ordeal… No, she didn’t want to talk about it…it was too painful! She was having a dream. In that dream she saw a young boy, very handsome. But some demons came trying to bring him to the dark side, and some Whitelighter trying to keep him on the good side. She woke up, scared. What did that mean?

    Prudence Coop Halliwell was also having a dream, a teen age boy was in danger, evil kind of danger, she had to do something! She woke up from her sleep and she was a little afraid. She got ready for work. She found her other sisters in the kitchen having breakfast.

    - Good morning, she said

    - Good morning, said the others

    Phoebe looked at her last one.

    - Prue, is everything fine?

    - Yeah, I don’t know mom… I had the weirdest dream

    - About what?

    - About protecting a young boy from evil…

    - Do you know this boy?

    - No, I’ve never seen him before in my life…

    - It’s your innocent… you have to save him

    - I get that, but how do I find him?

    - Don’t worry, when we have to save an innocent, he shows up sooner or later

    - I hope you’re right

    - Ready to go ? Said her sister Penny

    - Yes, let’s go…

    The three girls left. Phoebe looked at them go. They were getting older and sooner or later they will move out of the house. But she loved having her daughters living with them.

    The phone rang and Phoebe picked up.

    - Hello?

    - Phoebs?

    - Billie! How are you?

    - I’m not good, can I come over? Do you have time?

    - Of course honey, come …

    - I’ll be right there…

    Billie arrived a while later. She seemed very worried about something.

    - What is it honey?

    - Oh Phoebe! I don’t know what to do!

    - About what?

    - I’ve been keeping something from you, all of you

    - What?

    Billie stood up and started walking in the living room, not knowing where to start. She was standing by the window, looking out.

    - Billie, after what happened with your sister, all those years ago, you can trust us you know that…

    Billie looked at her with love.

    - Phoebe, I know that, it’s just a little…

    - Start from the beginning

    - All right.

    Billie was still standing by the window

    - Remember 17 years ago when I was trapped in limbo for a while after that big fight?

    - How could I forget?

    - I was there for a while I kind of developed some sort of Stockholm syndrome with my keeper…

    - You wanted to stay there for good?

    - No, but I kind of got close to a demon

    - Oh… how close??

    - I got pregnant…

    - Oh my God! What did you do, did you get rid of it?

    - Not in the sense you think… I kind of found a surrogate for her

    - A surrogate?

    - Yes… a woman who pregnant, her foetus was more or less the same age as mine, I learned a few things in limbo, so I transferred my baby to her belly…after binding its powers

    - What about her baby, did you kill it?

    - Of course not! I would never kill an innocent baby!

    - Thank God, said Phoebe relieved, so that woman had twins?

    - I suppose so…

    - You suppose?

    - Well I didn’t keep track… I wanted to forget about the whole incident!

    - Billie! You have a magical baby out there all grown up! Is it a boy or a girl?

    - I have no idea, but I think it’s a boy…

    - You think? Why would you think it’s a boy?

    - I had a dream of a young boy, being lured by demon to become evil…

    - Why do you think it’s your boy?

    - I think his powers got unbind somehow, and now he’s in danger…

    Phoebe remained silent. What Prue had told her earlier…

    - Oh my God, could it be?

    - What? Said Billie

    - Prue had a weird dream… about a boy she had to protect from evil…

    - That can’t be a coincidence! Said Billie, oh my God!

    - We’re going to help you find your boy… he needs guidance

    - If we don’t, I pray the magic world sends him a guide, a white lighter…

    - Don’t worry Billie, he’s going to be fine… I don’t understand why you were afraid of telling us…

    - Oh Phoebe! That’s not all!

    - There’s more?

    - Yes…

    - What is it

    - About the father…

    - Yes…

    - You know him…

    - I do?

    - Yes, I swear if I had know before… I wouldn’t have done it…

    - Billie what are you talking about? Who is the father of your baby?

    - It’s … Cole Turner

    - What? Cole is dead!

    - He’s in limbo somewhere… After we got close he started telling me about his wife, how much he loved her, how much he still does…

    - Oh my God!

    - He doesn’t age, so I never thought that…

    - Oh Billie! Said Phoebe hugging her, it’s ok. My story with Cole ended ages ago! I’m not angry… I think it’s cute. You found yourself doing the sexiest demon in the universe!

    Billie looked at her and then, she burst out laughing with Phoebe.

    - I’m going to call Wyatt and ask him to look on the magical radar… if he’s using his powers, which mean the underworld is aware of his powers too…

    - I hope the dark side don’t get him…

    - Your boy is Cole’s son, not the source, but the Cole in limbo…He even was invincible at one point

    - He told me that, he went back in time to try and change things by killing Paige, but it did not work… Paige managed to stay alive…And you hated him more than ever!

    - Paige had a horrible cold and every time she sneezed, she would orb… the changes happened during a sneeze… anyway, Cole and I are history, but Cole and you…

    - He’s stuck in limbo… there’s no “Cole and I”

    - There was long enough to make a baby…

    - Don’t remind me, how do you get pregnant in limbo?

    - Well, Piper got pregnant with Chris while in limbo…so anything is possible… we’re witches! Wyatt! Wyatt!

    An orbing sound was heard and Wyatt appeared.

    - You called Aunt Phoebe?

    - Yes, honey… how are you doing

    - I’m fine, thanks for asking

    - Hey Wyatt, said Billie

    - Billie … How can I help you guys

    - We need you to find a boy for us…

    - A boy?

    - Yes, he new to his powers and the dark side wants to lure him in the underworld…

    - All right, should I look for this boy personally, because he’s…

    - My son, said Billie

    - Oh… right!

    - I just want him to be on our side, not the dark side, said Billie

    - I certainly can relate…, said Wyatt

    He knows how hard his family had to fight so he wouldn’t turn evil, with all the powers he has, him evil would’ve been a major disaster.

    - All right Billie, don’t worry, I’ll take care of your boy… you have any idea where he is?

    - None what so ever…, said Billie

    - All right, do you know his name?

    - No…, I kind of transferred him into another woman’s womb…

    - Oh my God! Do you have any idea how many young boys are having their powers right now? I might as well look for a needle in haystack! But I love challenges, I just hope I get the time to look for him, with all the demons fight

    - Wyatt, he just got his powers, his vulnerable…, said Phoebe

    - I’ll see what I can do… bye

    He orbed out.

    - Thanks for your help Phoebe

    - Anytime, said Phoebe smiling

    Meanwhile Candy was living fine. The Reagan couldn’t touch her, she was self protecting herself without realising it. When danger came near, a force field would protect her. Her mother was safe as long as she was in her belly, but once she gave birth, she became vulnerable, that’s how she was able to get killed.

    Sarah Reagan didn’t want Candy on her property. She had to go. But her husband wanted Candy to stay. He was human, so he thought Candy’s good aura was fine.

    But Sarah wanted Candy to leave. They would make her do the worst chores, she would comply with joy and do an amazing job! It was sickening for the Reagans. Her cat fought with the Reagan’s Siamese and scared it off.

    - Candy, said Mrs. Reagan, did you finish your work with the horses?

    - Yes, I did…

    - So fast??

    - Yes

    - Maybe you’re going too fast and doing a bad job…

    The foreman appeared.

    - She did all her chores, Madam, and before she got ready for school

    Mrs. Reagan looked at Candy. That damn Whitelighter! Everything was going bad in their house at night. The evil spirits were refusing to come to their home, as long as they had a Whitelighter on the property.

    “How do I get rid of her?” She thought.

    The Great aunt Elroy, the matriarch of the family had come back to town after a long trip abroad. There was suppose to be a party soon

    Candy during her free time would walk around the property. One day she found herself in front of a gate full of roses. There was a teenage boy there looking at her.

    - You look like an angel, he told her

    - An angel? Said Candy smiling, thanks for the compliment!

    - My name is Anthony Brown

    - My name is Candy White

    “…lighter” he heard in his head. Oh my God, he thought. That’s her… she’s the one…she’s so beautiful… but I’m not destined to be with her… but my heart is beating so fast…”

    - You are so beautiful, he said

    - Why thank you. This is KC, she said showing her cat.

    - She’s a beautiful cat

    - I live on the Reagan’s property…

    - The Reagans?

    - You know them?

    - They’re … cousins…

    - It’s the house of hell! No offense…

    - None taken… what do you do there?

    - Chores, chores and chores, then I go to the local public school

    - That’s why I’ve never seen you in school

    - That evil witch was not going to put me in a private school, said Candy

    - Aunt Sarah can be harsh

    - Harsh? She’s pure evil! Said Candy and her little demons…

    - That would be Neil and Eliza?

    - I’m sorry…

    - No, it’s just fine… Come with me, I’ll introduce you to my cousins…

    They walked inside the property and Candy thought that it was very big, it took them a while to get to the big castle. They found two other boys in front of the castle; one was playing and the other one was reading a fashion magazine. He was wearing a silk shirt! He had light brown hair, the other one had black hair and was playing with some sort of computer… The brown one looked and he saw them.

    - Anthony! What do you have there?

    - This is Candy White, said Anthony

    He stood up and walked to them. He took Candy’s hand and kissed it.

    - I’m very pleased to make your acquaintance, Miss White

    Candy looked at him and she smiled, she even blushed.

    - I’m pleased to meet you , said Candy, but you can call me Candy

    - My charming brother! Said Alistair, my name is Alistair Cornwell, pleased to meet you Candy

    - Pleased to meet you Alistair!

    Candy spent time with the three boys. Anthony was always with her, looking after her. Candy went back at the Reagan, later in the afternoon. She felt good for the first time since she got in the house of hell.

    Anthony was in his room, when he got a message. It was a vision of his mother, Rosemary:

    - Blessed be my son, she said

    - Mom, he said, she’s here…

    - The blessed child… That’s why I’m here, you know what you mission is…

    - I will guard her with my life

    - You can’t let her in that house of hell, my sister is so evil…

    - Yes, I know… but somehow, Candy manages to survive other there

    - Don’t get to comfortable… The underworld is looking for a way to kill her…they will never stop, you have to protect her…

    - I will find a way to bring her here, so she will be under my protection…

    - I trust you my son…. I have to go. Blessed be…

    The vision disappeared. Anthony wanted to know how Candy was… they showed her protected by her Whitelighter field. The underworld couldn’t touch her.

    **********

    Meanwhile in England. Terry and his new found powers, was having a problem not to used them, especially against his stepmonster. Something was telling him to use is powers that way was kind of evil and he didn’t want to be evil. But lately he was feeling the urge to be mean. He was resisting it. But it was like his stepmonster became worst. As a matter of fact, the underworld wanted to tempt Terry to become evil, so he will be one of them. But Terry was a prankster, not a killer…

    Wyatt had been screening for the young boy for a while. Then, he decided to search for a lost child… He got clues which first lead him to a young girl in Lakewood. She was asleep, protected by a force field. That child was fine, but he will keep an eye on her. The other signs lead him to Terry in England.

    The stepmonster was suddenly possessed by some dark force. She was with Terry in the garage. Terry wanted to take his car to run some errands.

    - You monster! I know you turned me into a cow !

    - Whoa, said Terry you give me way too much credit! If I had turned you into a cow, you’d still be one, because there’s no way I’d turning you back to human so you can make my life miserable!

    The stepmonster’s eyes turned black, she had an energy ball, she threw it at Terry, who moved stunned.

    - What the bloody hell us going on! ? Said Terry stunned

    - I’m going to get rid of you if it’s the last thing I do…

    - I knew you hated me, but … come on!

    She threw another energy ball at him, it almost got him. He became angry, a fireball materialised in his hand… He knew instinctively that if he threw it at her, she will die… but he didn’t want her to die… He was not evil. But it was so tempting…

    “ I’m going to kill her, I need to defend myself, but, I don’t want to do it… no…”

    Wyatt thought it was time for him to intervene… Terry was about to throw the fireball… He appeared in front of Terry…

    - You don’t have to do it, said Wyatt

    Some demons who were watching them started talking;

    - Hey! Leave him alone! He needs to make his own decision

    - You broke the rules when you possessed his stepmom! Said Wyatt Don’t do it! You’re not a killer or you would’ve done it already

    Terry looked at Wyatt, and he put off his fireball.

    - You’re not worth it! Said Terry

    She threw another energy ball at him and Wyatt took Terry and orbed out with him. They went to Terry’s room.

    - Thanks, said Terry… who are you?

    - You’re welcome. My name is Wyatt Halliwell… I came to make sure you stay good

    - Oh… so if I had killed my stepmonster, I would be evil now?

    - Yep!

    - Thanks… should I expect lots of guys like you?

    - Well I’m a good guy, expect more bad guy, who would try to kill you to get your powers…

    - Nice, said Terry

    - So you may want to lay low with your powers and be careful with what you say too…

    - Who’s going to clean up the mess in the garage

    - I’ll take care if it. The less attention we attract the better for the magic world.

    - Why me? Said Terry

    - Why me? I asked myself the same thing when I realised how powerful I was… You have a purpose, I’m sure of it, you’re destined to do great good…

    - I am?

    - In the meantime, you need someone to guide you… you got your familiar already?

    - My what?

    - Your cat…

    - Tom? Yes…

    - Good… if you listen carefully he can guide you… I will arrange for you to get some help. Remember one thing, don’t use magic for your own personal gain…

    - That’s no fun! Said Terry

    - That’s the rule. You can defend yourself against evil of course…

    - Thank God!

    - And mum’s the word… don’t tell anybody, not even your parents…

    - All right, I had that part already…

    - All right what’s your name by the way?

    - Terrence Grandchester… you can call me Terry

    - Bye Terry, said Wyatt, if you need me, just call my name…

    - All right… This is so scary… I’m glad I got someone to talk to…

    - It’s going to be fine, Terry… bye

    - Bye

    Wyatt orbed out and Terry liked the white light he left behind.

    - Holy bloody hell! I have the feeling my life is going to get very very interesting!

    Tom rubbed himself on Terry’s foot. Terry picked him up.

    - I bet you’re saying, “Oh gee you think?” right buddy?

    - Meow! Said Tom
