A Very Charmed One

The one that got away

"Phoebe, come on it's not funny." I told her.

"Heather, your the one that said it not me." She told me.

"Wish never told you." I said as I laid back on her bed.

Out of all the sisters, I thought she would be the one that would understand what I was seeing or even thinking.

"Hey, I ain't the one seeing a man in her dreams,"

"Its not just my dreams Phoebe. Its also real life. I keep seeing him, everywhere. Work, home in my room, in my dreams. I feel like its a sign. But when I look, he's gone."

"Look, if it was a demon the house alarm would went off. Its nothing."

"Not if he's astral projection, didn't I hear that your ex husband Cole did that to you."

That made her dead stop in her tracks. She looked at me then huffed before sitting on the ottoman beside her bed. I knew I hit a nerve with that. Cole Turner was a demon from hell, literally. Been killed I don't even know how many times that I've heard the girls spoke of. But he's been human before, all because of Phoebe's love changed him.

"Look, fine. What if, he is doing that, next time you see him in your mirror or your dreams try to talk to him. Call him out and I don't know, see if he comes to you in person."

"Seriously Pheebs, what if he's a demon?"

"Then kill him."

"Fine, I'll try your idea first. Just hope he don't kill me." I said as I got up and head out her door.

"Love you!" I heard her yell out to me when I walked out the door.

I rolled my eyes and headed to my car to head home. I had this weekend off of everything. The girl's father took the boys, Billy is at school, Piper and Leo took a little vacation somewhere. So the house was mine til then.

Once I got home, I went to take a nice hot bath to try and calm my nerves down some. As I had the water running, I grabbed all the smell good candles that I could find and lite them and added some of my bath salts and soap into the tub.

When the tub was full, I took my clothes off and got into the tub. When I was all the way covered, I closed my eyes and started thinking of the things that me and Phoebe were talking about.

Astral Dream Starts

I was still in the tub just relaxing the same was I was outside my dream. As I was slowing my breathing, I felt a present in the room when I opened my eyes, I had saw him once again.

"Looking for me?" He asked me.

"Matter of fact, yes." I told him. "Its just that, wherever I am or I look I see you. Who are you?"

He laughed. "You will soon find out in time."

"When the hell is that gonna be?" I asked.

"Soon, really soon. I've been watching you because who hired me to kill you witches." He said.

When he said that, I threw my hands out and blew him up.

Astral dream ends

When I set up from the tub, I was alone like I was before. Just my breathing was off. I was kinda scared for my life just I didn't know what to do.

When I got out, I had grabbed a towel and dried myself off and went to my room. When I went to my dresser to get my underwear, I felt someone touch me by kissing my neck and shoulders. I started to moan a little bit.

"I see someone likes this."

When I heard his voice, I turned around and went to blow him up but he caught my hands.

"Ah nope you can't do that." He said.

"What do you want? You can't just come in here and do what you just did after you just said your here to kill me."

"Ah, you witch will see why I want to kill you but I can't," he started to say then he blew up in flames and was gone.

When I looked down at my hands I had burnt marks where his hands were. I wanted to call for Leo but I can't. I couldn't even speak. I slide on my underwear and grabbed a tank top and got in the bed. I was all confused to why he did what he was doing to be. Like I was having a wet s*x dream of him but it was real.

One minute he said he wants to kill us then he's kissing on me. But before he went poof, he said he can't.

Can't what?

By the time Monday was here, I was glad. The whole weekend was creepy and out of my mind. When Piper and Leo orbed in the living room, I did jump and try to blow them up but they moved from my blast.

"Heather what the hell!" Piper yelled.

"Sorry, I've been jumpy since I've been here by myself." I told her as I got up from the couch and cleaned up my mess.

"Jumpy for what?" Leo asked. "Was there a demon attack?"

"No, not really."

"No, not really? What do you mean by that?" Piper asked.

We went into the kitchen and I told them what happened. Leo's face was all red from my tmi and Piper started to snicker a little. I told them it was Phoebe's idea to try and call him out. And knowing I was right, I got what was coming. Piper slapped my arm and went to grab the phone to call her sisters.

I rolled my eyes and went up to my room to get dressed for work at the club. When I had grabbed my shirt shorts and belly top and heels, I started on my hair and makeup by the time I was done, I grabbed my purse and checked myself out one last time.

When I looked he was there, I turned and he was there in person. He had his finger on his lips and grabbed my hand, and smoked out of my room. When I looked, I saw we were in an ugly cave.

"What have you done? Where am I?" I asked as I back away from him.

"Your in the Underwood." He told me.

"Why am I here?" I asked. "Are you going to kill me like you said you were?" I asked.

When he went to touch my wrist, I jerked them back because they still hurt from being burned. And he saw that.

"I already hurt you, well they did."

"They who?"

"The triad did. They saw what I was doing and didn't like it." He told me. "I've been watching you since you've moved in with the girls. They want the charmed one dead because they had killed their brothers before."

"I heard they did. But what does that have to do with me?"

"Because your the most powerful witch alive on top of them. But over time, I've fallen for a human just like Balthazar."

Balthazar? Where have I heard that name before. I swear I heard Paige talking about it one day. When he saw I looked confused, he came over and placed a hand on my face. I tighten up because I was scared of what he was going to do.

Then it hit me, if he's a demon then why ain't the alarm going off? Phoebe said if there's a demon in the house it will go off. Then again it didn't go off the last time a demon came into the house when Billy and I were watching the kids. Ima have a talk with the sisters about that.

"Why the long sad confused face?" He asked me bring me out of my thoughts.

"Because wondering why our demon alarm didn't go off if your a demon and you say you are."

"That won't work with me, I'm half demon half human just like the great Balthazar."

"You look human what is your demons side look like?" I asked.

He stepped away from me a little hurt. I wanted to do what he did to me but something told me to stay put.

And boy I was right. When he changed into his demon form, he was somewhat ugly. He was black skin with tattoos all over his body. Symbols that I've never seen before. But one. It was right on his chest where his heart is. It was rose with a name in a ribbon around the stem.

I walked over and touched his chest where the tattoo was. When I did, he tensed up a little then relaxed.

"Its for my mother, Rosey. She was human and my father was the demon just like me. He got her pregnant and when she gave birth, the king of all demons, the Source of all Evil, he had her killed and they took me and raised me as a demon. But with you, I don't-" he started to say until we heard voices coming out way.

He grabbed my hand and we shimmered out there back to my room. When he let go, he turned to look in the mirror and still saw her was in his demon form. He looked down for a moment then looked back at me and shimmered out.

My heart just broke with what he just told me about mother. I will never understand how he became what he is.

The next following day, I woke up to a yelling Piper. When I got up, I ran out the room to downstairs and saw her yelling at Leo.

"There you are?!" She yelled my way. "Where you been? The club called and said you never showed up last night and you wasn't in your room either."

What? I thought to myself. Oh s**t, I was getting dressed for work last night. Time must have changed a lot being down there.

"I did show up for a second then I heard some yelling outside and there was a demon attack. I lost track of time and got so dirty, I came back home and went to bed." I lied.

Even though I lied I just hopped she bought it because Leo looked like he didn't for a moment.

"A demon attack at the club, oh hell no. These demons are pissing me off. I had one last night too." Piper said.

I took a deep breath. Thank god, she bought that.

"What? What the demon look like?" I asked.

"Black with a ugly face and tattoos over his body."

Please don't say there's a tattoo on his chest with a rose.

"Me too, did anything stand out with yours?" I asked.

Please don't say rose. I kept saying in my head and crossing my fingers.

"Yea now you think of it, there was a messed up rose tattoo on his chest."

Fuck.....

"A rose tattoo on a demon please Piper. Are you freaking serious?" Leo asked.

"Bad thing about it, he reminded me of Cole when he was Balthazar but red." Piper said.

"Wait Cole was Balthazar?" I asked.

"Yea, look in the book. He was sent to kill us but fell in love with Phoebe. Waiting didn't we tell you this before?"

"Paige kinda did about Balthazar but didn't say it was Cole or she didn't and I forgot. My minds not in the same place right now."

"I'm sorry, I'll let the club know you were sick."

I nodded then walked away. I went up to my room and fell back into my bed. I was tired and I don't even know why. As I was laying there, I heard someone shimmer in. When I looked up, it was that guy. I got up and ran to the door and locked it.

"Dude what are you doing here?" I asked.

"You were thinking of me, I could feel it." He said.

"No I wasn't. I don't even know your name?" I said.

"Its Nathan."

"Well Nathan, you should leave. My family is here and they ain't very happy right now. Expressly with you."

"Me?"

"Yes, you attacked Piper at her restaurant last night." I told him.

"No, I didn't. I was with you."

"Then tell me how in the hell, the demon that Piper described looked like yours." I said poking him in the chest.

When I touched his chest, I had a vision of a demon looking like him attacking me but it wasn't him because he was standing next to me at the ally talking to me. I was all confused. The same demon threw a fireball at me and it felt so real that it threw me threw my door for real.

When I looked where I was, I saw I was in the hallway. Nathan went to help me but I shook my head no right when Piper and Leo came running up the stairs towards me. Nathan shifted into his demon self and threw a fireball towards us but missed.

When Piper saw that their was a demon in my room she went to blast him but he shimmered out.

"What the hell happened?" Piper asked.

"I was in my room cleaning up a little then he came out of no where and blasted me." I said.

As I went to get up, I felt where the blast was on me. It was on my shoulder and it hurt like hell. Leo went to heal me but I shook my head no.

"Are you sure, it looks like hell. How did that not kill you." Leo asked.

"I blasted him right when he hit me, so I don't know." I said as I went to my room and looked at my door way. I signed. "What was once here, now is broken, appear back here new." I said then flicked my fingers.

The door that was once in the hallway all broken, stood up and fixed itself back on my door frame. Piper and Leo was impressed with me on how I was doing my spell work.

"Well that was a nice spell even though it didn't rhyme." Piper said.

"My grams thinks that because I'm so powerful that my spells don't need to rhyme. I can just think them and do a move and bam." I said.

Then nodded then pat my back before leaving my room. Once they left, I locked the door, and pulled a chair over to my dresser to put some cream on my shoulder. As I was doing it, it hurt like hell, that I used my other hand to squeezed the arm of the chair. When I did, Nathan showed back up and saw tears in my eyes from the pain.

"Let me help you." He told me.

I nodded and he grabbed some of the cream I had and started rubbing it in my shoulder. It felt so good when he was doing it.

"So are you gonna tell me what happened?" He asked.

"I had a vision of you or I thought it was you. It was your demon half at least and you attacked me." I said. He went to speak but I went on with what I was saying. "The bad thing was, you were standing next to me in the ally of the club when this demon had came and threw a fireball at me as I went to blast him. It felt so real, I mean it was real, you can see the mark." I said.

"Wait, you said a demon like me had hit you?" He asked.

"Yes, why?"

"Describe every single thing that you saw on him."

"He looked like you, like your twin." I said then I remembered his chest. "Wait, his chest, the rose was messed up it wasn't cute as yours and Piper had said that a demon like you with a ugly messed up tattoo of a rose was on his chest." I told him.

"Damnit, I know who it is." He said then shimmered out of the room.

I turned around right when he did but he was already gone. I felt bad at what just happened.

I got up from my chair and went to my bed and laid down to try to get some sleep before I had work in a few hours. Only just to get attacked though but least I would have Nathan with me. I'll just have to warn the sister's what's up when I wake back up.
