The Unexpected Visitors

[Cole Turner]

Cole

:: Cole listened to Krista yell, feeling his stomach twist hard into a knot, and his throat go dry when she apologised. He looked away, his eyes no longer cold, but over-emotive, glistening even as the death of his wife, Krista's mother burned brightly in front of his eyes. Closing his eyes it still lingered and he looked up, opening his eyes and widening them several times to rid himself of the moistness ::

"You think I don't know that Krista?"

:: He asked in a low voice, his own pain so obvious from his tone that it killed him to speak freely ::

"Your mother was the only thing that kept me alive when all else turned against me, and knowing that some part of her lives, in you, that made me turn from death at the hands of the Charmed Ones and continue fighting. But Krista, you dare accuse me of kidding myself and I-"

:: Cole looked away, unable to finish ::

"Our world ended with her. My eyes opened when I saw this woman in front of my eyes."

:: He gestured to Phoebe, casting her a glance of sincere affection, before looking again at his daughter ::

"No one can replace her. Not even herself. But I could love, if I knew the person behind the appearance of her. And that is worth a chance. Not replacing, learning Krista, giving life a chance."

[Phoebe Halliwell]

Phoebe

::Phoebe put her hands over her mouth, almost ready to cry herself, she felt for Cole and Krista, she really did and it her heart ached with the sympathy she felt, knowing what it is like to lose someone you loved dearly. She put her hand out to Cole, placing it on his back to try and comfort him, she didn't feel it was her place to speak at this moment::

Not replacing, learning....

[Krista Halliwell-Turner]

Krista

::Krista still had a stern face, breathing heavy, not liking to see her dad in such a state she didn't meet his glace and when she did it was with a defiance, normally he was so calm and collected, not now::

So this is what being in love does to you?

"Well sorry dad but the way you've been acting has surprised me a bit, she seemed very caught him in this bubble.."

::She said this sarcastically, but as she started the sentence her confidence died down and her voice became sorry, she carried on listening to her dad, daring not to interrupt him::

"Well...what happens now....we all become happy family's? What about her children and her husband?"

::She looked directly at Phoebe, searching her eyes for some kind of truth to this, she then stared at Chris and Melinda, they had been here all this time, she then looked at her dad, asking with her eyes::

Can't they go!?!

[Cole Turner]

Cole

:: Cole felt Phoebe's hand and he calmed. Taking barely a second to collect himself, he met Krista's gaze on every word. She had a point. Phoebe had a family, a husband - where would they fit in? ::

"I don't know Krista."

:: He reluctantly moved away from Phoebe's touch and put his hands on Krista's shoulders, showing her he was sorry for shouting at her. Then he turned to face Phoebe. ::

"The ball is not in our hands. But-"

:: He half smiled at his daughter, speaking in lower tones just to her ::

"There is a whole new underworld which you are heir to for us to occupy ourselves with in the meanwhile. And I know you like a good fight."

[Krista Halliwell-Turner]

Krista

::Krista smiled, a wicked little smile and cheered up considerably, she decided she wasn't going to make a fuss. Her facial expression changed to a sincere sad one again, she looked up at her dad and hugged him::

"I'm sorry.."

::She then looked at Phoebe, feeling considerably guilty, she went over to her and stood there, head down::

"Sorry Phoebe, I shouldn't of said some of the things I did"

::Then suddenly Phoebe smiled and hugged her, showing no hard feelings were between them. Krista felt alot happier and now went back to her original plan, she turned to her dad, knowing he would understand why she was about to set of::

"I'm going to leave you two alone, you need to talk. I'm going to..to..get myself acquainted with the area"

::Her eyes glinted as she said this about to go into the underworld and start to make a name for herself, she could handle herself very well and her dad knew this. She turned around and smiled at Phoebe once more before shimmering out::

[Phoebe Halliwell]

Phoebe

::Once Krista had gone she looked at Cole, not quite understanding what Krista meant, she frowned and said slowly, thinking::

"Did she mean what she said?"

::The idea went out of her mind and back to Cole, he was rather upset::

"Are you ok?"

[Cole Turner]

Cole

:: Nodding, he turned his attention back to Phoebe, happy that Krista wasn't angry with him or her. Also, he knew that she would be establishing her place in the underworld, a home that would never change for them ::

"She means it when she apologises, or she won't say sorry.."

:: Cole looked at the two Charmed offspring and smiled charmingly. ::

"Excuse us."

:: He put his arms on Phoebe's waist and leant down to press his lips to hers, shimmering away as he did so ::

[Chris Halliwell]

Chris

:: Walking over to Melinda ::

"Lets go home for a while. You should rest or relax or something."

:: He holds out his hand for her to take it so they can go home ::

[Melinda Halliwell]

Melinda


::Melinda's natural stubborness took over. She was even more stubborn than both of her parents combined. Melinda shook her head as she looked at her brother.::


"No, I-I can't...I have to find m-mom..."


::Melinda said, still shaken up over the whole experience. She wasn't going to abandon her mother, she had to find her. Melinda soon passed out from exhaustion, her sugar rush wearing off.::

[Destiny Halliwell]

Destiny

::Just then Destiny entered the room::
"Whats going on here"
::Destiny asked as she entered the room::

[Chris Halliwell]

Chris

:: He looks at his sister who is passed out and then to his cousin::

"We've kind of had a rough day... You're mom should be back soon I think. But I'm going to get Melinda home. She needs to rest."

:: He leans towards his sister and picks her up like a baby::

"You could always come and keep her company if you wanted. Maybe she'll stay at home with you there."

:: Chris orbs out to the manor with his sister in his arms::

[Destiny Halliwell]

Destiny

"Maybe later"

:: Destiny said::

::After everyone left Destiny went up to her bedroom for a while::
