Dustin- I grimaced. "Well, I can, see things before they happen. I don't know why, it's not a normal power for demons. I touch something and, I can see future or past events." I suppressed a shudder. "When I was in here earlier, shopping for ingredients I needed, I touched that candle stick and saw a warlock killing her." I pointed to the shop keeper who seemed very frightened indeed. "Not that she'd believe me but, I knew I'd have to do something about it. I can't let an innocent person die." I didn't plan to answer her first question becuase, I really didn't know the answer.
Sam- I scrunched my eyebrows together in thought. "How did he kill her?" The hybrid looked at me, not answering at first. "He threw a knife at her." Knives again. Probably the same warlock then. How did this demon hybrid know though? Like he said, it was not a usual power for a demon. Sam had read about Seers, but they only saw the future. He said he saw the past as well. Very odd indeed. She still didn't trust him but, if he wanted to help an innocent, at least they could defend her and handle him later.

Lynne- Despite the confusion and the slight suspicion at the back of my mind, I felt that this hybrid dude was telling the truth, and only wanted to help. He just seemed to be the type of guy that needed some people to trust him. I finally spoke up, a bit shy, but curious to know all the same. "Why is this guy trying to kill people, and is a random occurrence, or is he targeting someone? There were a lot of crazy people in the world that killed for no reason or killed for pleasure, so I wanted to know if the warlock had an ulterior motive.
Antony- I was in shock, pretty much, followed by a pang of pity. Seeing the future would have to suck, if it meant seeing people die and maybe not being able to do anything about it. After all, sometimes fate was unavoidable. I stayed quiet, since I was too busy thinking about how we were going to catch this guy, along with other things. Besides, I felt uneasy talking in crowds.

Wyatt- Okay, by now I was tired. I did a lot today. But I was still game. The lady's words ran through my head over and over again. 'Help my son' But why the hybrid? I sat on the steps of the church for a moment. He's part demon and part witch, but a nun and a demon? And what was even weirder was the fact that the nun was human. I orbed back to the shop, landing in a sitting position on the counter in time to hear the hybrid describe his odd power. "Okay, I have a couple of questions. First of all, what's your name? I'm tired of not knowing. Second of all, why is your mom a human? A nun of all things. I can't imagine a nun and a demon... though I guess it could happen. But the thing is, one a nun is supposed to stay virtuous, and two, she's human. We detected that you were part witch. I think you've got some 'splainin to do."
Payton- I jumped when my sister spoke up. I almost forgot they were here with all the action being thrown about. "I can tell he's telling the truth." I told everyone, noticing Wyatt as he orbed in. "Or at least right now. We don't know enough to completely trust him but for now I think he might be on our side." I said as I read his emotions. I hoped that I wasn't wrong. I didn't want an electric ball in my back later.

Dustin- Great. Well, I couldn't just leave them with nothing. "Dustin." I told Wyatt in relation to my name. I knew he must have saved my mom knowing she was a nun so, I didn't even ask. "And honestly, I don't know how my mom is a nun yet, I'm part demon and part witch. She never got together with anyone. She said she just ended up carring me and all she had was a dream about me. She'd never tell me what it said though, told me I wasn't ready." Then, looking at Lynne, I told her, "I'm pretty sure he is a warlock going after witches. The shop keeper over there is a witch. She has a nasty power of repealing people." I rubbed my neck where I had hit the ground just thinking about it.
Sam- I still wasn't sure about this hybrid but, Payton said he was telling the truth so, I figured we'd go with it. "Ok well, that doesn't give us much to go by." I muttered. "I think we should head back to the manor and see if we can figure out who this warlock is. We can bring the shopkeeper with us to defend her." I shot a glance at Dustin. "Him as well, we have to keep an eye on him." If he was nervous by this, it didn't show. He looked deadly serious. It made me think of me with my, 'game face' on.

Wyatt- I put a gentle hand on the shopkeepers shoulder, smiled, and orbed her back to the manor. Sam could tell the demon where to go. The shopkeeper had jumped when I touched her and fell once we arrived at the manor. "Sorry about that." I told her. "This is for your own safety though." But I don't think she heard me. She looked up, down and all around. She looked as if she had seen something that was most amazing.
"So this is the legendary Halliwell manor?" She asked, still awe struck. "Then you really are...and they..." She broke off. I smiled at her, in the hopes that she would be nicer.
Payton- "Alrighty then, let's go." I said, then I grabbed my brother and sister (again I might add) and beamed them to the manor, where I noticed the shopkeeper was awestruck. "By the way," I began, "We never got your name."

Precious- As everyone was talking, I thought to myself," How come the nun has a kid? Maybe she became a nun later on in life or she adopted an ophan at the church. Oh, well, I quess it doesn't really matter." All of a sudden I snapped back to reality and realized that everyone was leaving to go back to the manor. "I quess I will just walk, so I will probably be the last to show up, I really should get my drivers license." I told everyone

Sam- I rolled my eyes at Precious. "I can orb you." I told her. I place my hand on her shoulder and, reluctantly, took Dustin's hand as well. Then, I orbed all three of us to the manor. "There." I sighed and sat down on one of the chairs.
Dustin- I looked around the manor, in awe. It was amazing! I had spent most of my time in the church, I rarely saw other peoples houses and, no houses like this. "And now, we get the book of shadows. We'll have to find the warlock, see if their is a vanquishing potion." I headed to the kitchen and picked up the book, bringing it back to the couch and sitting down. "You, come here." I said to Dustin, beckoning him over. He seemed surprised, but sat down next to me. "You had a vision about him, you might be able to recognize him better." I had barely seen the guy, mainly his back. Dustin nodded as I flipped through the pages. "There." he suddenly said, tapping the page. I think my eyes widened. He touched the book! I thought evil couldn't touch the book. I shoot a stunned look at Wyatt.

Wyatt- I was just as stunned. Evil couldn't touch the book. Who was this guy? I mean sure, the nun raised him but still... I think we all had to stare in shock. I walked over to look at the warlock, then I looked closely at Dustin. He looked so familiar... I was having some serious deja vu.
Payton- Alright, I wasn't surprised. Maybe it was me as an empath? Who knows. But I knew he wasn't evil. He seemed to have good intentions, just a quick temper. "Told you guys we could trust him." I said aloud.

(I forgot to say this for those who don't know. I think I should explain kind of what Dustin looks like, uhh. Hmmm. He looks a lot like a younger version of Kole, he's 19, and his hair is light brown and his eyes are dark brown.)
Dustin- Ok, I was utterly confused. How did me touching a book make them trust me. I fingered along the cover and, had another flash back. My eyes turned white and I saw, a male, who looked a lot like me trying to touch the book and, it flying away from him. When I came back, I saw Sam staring and me and looked down at my feet. I was trying to decide if my vision was of the future, or the past.
Sam- Ok, this guy was getting more and more confusing. I swear, his eyes just turned white. Wasn't that a seer's trait? Maybe I was mistaken. I blinked a few times, trying to clear my head. I looked at the page. "It's a simple vanquishing potion. Payton, why don't you and Precious go get started on it." I handed the book to her. Then, I thought I heard a car pulling in. "Oh great. I think one of our parents are here. We should move this party upstairs." I suggested to Wyatt. Maybe it was his mom. I don't think he'd want her to know about us doing this stuff. My mom really didn't care as long as I wasn't afraid to call her if things got bad. Which, I would, if I needed to.

Payton- (It works! It really works!) "Alright, fine. But Sam's right. If it's Piper that's home we'll be in big trouble." I said, then beamed to the kitchen to get potion ingredients so that we could make it upstairs. If it was my mom she'd probably be okay with it, but this was Wyatt's house so...I beamed everything upstairs. We would have to try to keep everything on the DL. Wyatt- "Let's move everyone!" I took hold of the shopkeepers shoulder and orbed her upstairs for her safety(and I don't think she would hesitate to tell on us; I don't know how my mom would react) and helped her sit in a chair. I saw Payton beam next to me with all the ingredients. That would be useful. I also sat down and smiled a wide smile. "I'm such a deviant." Phoebe- (I'm playing her temporarily, and I need to borrow the control of Piper for a second.) I followed Piper to the door with groceries in hand, Leo close behind with the heavy stuff. I came home from work today and couldn't find my kids anywhere. I was so worried about them. Antony's room was trashed( ) and Lynne had left a book out in the open. So I went to find Piper at the store, and she agreed to help me scry for them at her house. "They couldn't have gotten far." She said, opening the door to the manor. I followed her into the kitchen and put my share of bags down. "Yeah, but the house was abnormal. I've never known Antony to leave his room a mess and Lynne to leave out a book." "Maybe they went to hang out with some friends-" She paused as she opened a cupboard. "There are ingredients missing." "Don't tell me you actually count the ingredients." I laughed. "You know Wyatt likes to do this type of stuff anyway." "Yeah but whole bottles and glasses are missing. Look for yourself." I peered inside to humor her and my eyes widened. There were things missing. "Wha-" That's when I heard and explosion from the attic and a loud complaining voice. We all charged upstairs, me in the lead followed by Piper. I opened the door and sighed. Everyone missing was here and fine. I noticed Lynne on the floor and Wyatt on his back. "What's going on here?" I asked, then I saw him and shrieked. "He's back! What are you doing back!" I pulled off one of my 5" (Oh snap!) stiletto heels and threw it at him as hard as I could.

Dustin- I had been leaning over the book, watching the girls make the potion, when suddenly some people came charging in. I heard someone screaming and looked up to see a shoe flying at me. I sort of shouted in surprise and, raised my hands in defense, accidentally shooting an energy ball and turning the shoe to dust. "Are you crazy or something lady?" I shouted, despite myself. I bit my tongue. and looked ashamed. "I'm sorry ma'am, I can't control my temper all the time." I apologized. (For as much as he looked like Cole, he didn't sound like him.) I turned to see Sam on her feet, from where she had been sitting next to Wyatt. "Aunt Phoebe, this is Dustin." she said slowly. She looked about as confused as me.
Sam- I sort of felt flustered now. I looked at Wyatt for support. "What were you guy's doing up here?" Leo asked, eying Dustin wearily(sorry, taking over Leo for a bit. xD). Dustin had backed closer to Payton, as if she could defend him. "Well umm, we were, making a vanquishing potion, to vanquish a warlock." I admitted slowly.
(ok, now I'll wait for the others. xD Just had to reply to that. Now, I can imagine Piper going, "WHAT!?!")

Lynne- Well, as simple as the potion's construction sounded, I didn't imagine it would have the effect of successfully throwing me to the floor. Ouch. As if things weren't running smoothly enough, mom had to come barging in. I was shocked to see her throw her friggin' shoe at the hybrid (although I must admit, those things can be deadly if thrown accurately! It made me imagine my brother throwing a high heel and killing a monster with it, making me almost laugh, even though this definitely was NOT the time. I guess all of this action happening so fast was making me go a little loopy!).
Antony- I rushed over to my sister once she'd landed, but could see that she was ok. Once my mom threw her shoe and Dustin had vanquished it (that was intense, and sort of cool, but still), I spoke up finally. "Woah! Mom, it's ok! He's good, he touched the Book of Shadows just fine. Why are you attacking him with your outfit?!" I was slightly disturbed, really. I mean, mom could be protective, but still! That could have done some major damage there.

Wyatt-(We should all just use the Charmed ones as we need-we're such users!-so that way we don't have to apologize for taking control all the time. This includes Leo, Coop, and Henry too-the hubbys!) Ouch. Stupid potion. I glanced up to see Payton laughing at me. She was so mean. I was about to get up when my aunt busted in the room and threw her shoe. Crazy lady. (he he, I'm picking up phrases from Happy ) "Relax Aunty Phoebe. I know he may seem strange but..." I returned Sam's glance. My mom was absolutely positively giving us all the evil eye. But behind that there was something else...recognition. "What!?" I heard my mom exclaim. I flinched. This was my mommy after all. "Not only are you guys endangering yourself but you're hanging around with him!" My dad had grabbed her arm in a comforting way and was trying to call her down. "Remember, they don't know." Payton- Oh yeah! One for the home team. I loved making potions explode. I knew it would be sure proof, but I gave it that extra oomph to make people fall on the floor. That's when all the drama happened of the shoe throwing and Sam and Wyatt explaining, yada yada. I noticed Dustin back toward me at one point and I smiled. I was the hybrid protector girl! Oh yeah. So anyway, Piper had just finished her rant when I quietly walked forward and asked, "What do you mean by him? Dustin here? I mean, he's not all that bad. I can feel what he's feeling and sure, he may be a little quick tempered but he has the best intentions I can assure you." Phoebe- I stared at my daughter with my mouth open. "Do you know who that is? He may have changed his name to Dustin, but that's still Cole, still Belthazor!" I exclaimed. "It took me so long to get over you..." I pointed at him as he edged toward my daughter. "Calm down Phoebe, Piper." Leo said, waving his hand. "I don't think that's Cole. The kids said he could touch the book, his name is Dustin, the Cole we know has been vanished for good and plus his hair is lighter." I looked closely and saw that he did have a point. "Okay then." I said, trying to calm down. "Who are you then?" (I talked to Happy and she said she'll post tomorrow. Just so you know why I'm posting now)

(oh I have to post just because I have the urge to answer. O.O And, that sounds good.) Dustin- Cole? Who did they think I was? I felt lost. "Uhh, well, I don't think I can tell you much about me. All I know is what my mom told me, I'm half witch, half demon. She wouldn't tell me anything more. I'm sorry I can't be more of a help." I already liked the guy who calmed the two girls down. He seemed cool already. I sort of gave nervous looks at Piper and Phoebe. What did Phoebe mean by getting over me, well Cole? And was this Belthazor person the same thing as Cole? I was lost.
Sam- I had no clue who they were talking about. "Ok, who is this Cole person then?" I demanded my gaze flickering between them. I saw Leo looking at Piper and Phoebe who seemed hesitant to answer.

Lynne- I finally decided to get up off the floor, now that mom seemed a bit more calm. I was completely confused though. "Yeah, how come we don't know what you're talking about mom? I'm pretty sure Dustin here isn't the same person, but who was Cole?" It must have been tragic or something, for her to go so ballistic. It worried me a bit, and also annoyed me slightly that she'd never told us kids about it before. I mean, yeah, it probably would have been a sucky bedtimes story for kids, but hey, answers mean everything for future use!
Antony- I was quiet again, just taking in what the adults were saying. I wondered if they would spill, or continue to leave us in the dark and wave it off as it being our fault for being young and not able to understand, which we all knew was bs. Dustin looked confused, so I seriously doubted he was who mom thought he was. Besides, I doubted there were any loopholes to getting to touch the Book of Shadows if you were evil.
