That Knock At The Door!

[Honey Halliwell <3]

This is my first ever fan fic but I don't want to give to much away in the sypnosis but I can say that Phoebe recieves a knock at the door one day and her whole life is turned upside down.

May 16th 2006

The harsh sky glared down on the lone woman that was hurrying home from work. A thousand stars in sky stared down blankly from the midnight blue canvas that they were washed over. The sky was completely clear and yet the rain battered the ground merylessly soaking the young woman who was now running for cover. A merciless cold enveloped her and moon followed her footsteps up the stone stairs to the old Victorian Manor. A glimmer of relief and hope passed fleetingly across her face as she pushed open the door to her harsh reality.

Phoebe Halliwell pulled off her coat that had been sticking to her skin with the rain. She rung out her hair as she stepped forward into the warmth. Her high heeled boots ran out through the empty house.
"Hello is anyone home?" She called out already knowing the answer, but the habit was not one that was easy to break. Without caring Phoebe settled her soaking wet body onto the sofa in the sitting room. She pulled her long dark hair around to one side and ran her hands through it. A glazed look appeared on her face as she stared at a photo that sat on the mantelpiece. Subconsciously her body pulled her to wards the photo that she looked at so many times. It showed a time of happiness and love and now everytime she looked at the photo of herself and her two sisters it brought tears to her eyes. She placed the photo back on the mantelpiece feeling a presence behind her. She smiled slightly as her neck was kissed. She spun around and came face to face with her husband.
" Coop!" She giggled playfully. She put her arms around his neck and kissed his lips gently. Coop smiled back at his wife feeling the pain of loss echoing from her.
" Don't worry baby...Your sisters will always be here with you no matter where they are; alive or dead." He spoke the last few words quietly. Phoebe bowed her head and leaned against him.
" I can't believe it has been 5 years Coop." Her eyes were brimming with tears but the dried away when Coop wiped them from her face.
" I know hunnie but I'm here for you....I will never leave you." He stroked her hair with his hand and ran his fingers down her face kissing her forehead at the same time. He pulled her close to his body and Phoebe allowed him to hold her. She let her emotions flow out of her clearing her mind of nothing but the terrible day that changed her life.

May 17th 2001

Phoebe and Cole shimmered into Halliwell Manor's attic. Phoebe froze as she held on to Cole. She knew instantly something was wrong. Her chocolate brown eyes found Cole's and they were full of fear and anxiety. Phoebe dashed from the attic taking the steps 3 at a time.
" Prue! Piper!" She screamed praying to hear her sister's voices. When there wasn't a sound her eyes filled with tears. As Phoebe reached the top of the stairs it became clear why her two beloved sisters weren't replying. The wall that lead into the sitting room was completely demolished and she could feel a cold breeze from where she was standing. Phoebe cautiously crept down the stairs. When she reached the bottom the devastation became clear. The back window was smashed as there was blood on the glass. Phoebe trembled and edged forward to the demolished wall. Her steps were slow and with each step her fear grew. Her bottom lip trembled as she saw her two sisters lying on the floor.

A heart wrenching cry escaped her lips and her body few to her sister's side. She bent low over Piper's body listening for a heartbeat but there was none. Tears streaked her face and fell onto Piper.
"Please Piper wake up!" She sobbed shuffling over slightly to Prue and she received the same response from her eldest sister.
"No....Please god no!" She cried out holding her sister's body in her arms.
"No not them...Take me instead." Her pain resounded out through the house.
"Leo! LEO!!!" She screamed. The tears came thicker and faster falling onto Prue's long dark hair. Phoebe kissed her forehead and layed her down. She curled up in ball beside her sisters rocking back and forth.
" NOOO! NOOO!!" She cried out her voice trailing away into desperate sobs. Her body ached as her heart felt as though it was being ripped from her chest. Cole stood on the stairs afraid to see the woman he loved in so much pain. He knew from experience that if a whitelighter didn't come when called then they were probably dead... but he didn't want to share that with Phoebe in her current state. Her sisters were bad enough but the thought of losing Leo too would probably kill her. He walked calmly down the stairs and to where his girlfriend was laying and tried to restrain his feeling but broke down in tears also.

Please be honest when your reviewing! This is just a little taster i'm trying it out to see if its any good!

OMG! So nice! Love it <3 Can't wait to see what happens next. Prue and Piper dead! So sad

[Honey Halliwell <3]

Thanks Alicia x This is just a short chapter to introduce 2 more characters into the plot

Chapter 2- There's Something About Kate

May 16th 2006- Hennesey Household

A mop of jet black curls flew past his face as his wife bent over to scrape her hair back into a ponytail. The young woman stood upright and gave him a stern look.
"Honestly Ben, I wish you would leave it!" She said angrily. Kate stormed past her husband and through to her son's room. She picked the young boy out of his playpen and balanced him on her hip. She wiped the mass of blond hair out of his eyes and turned around and came face to face with her husband again.
"I wish you would just listen to me Kate....Hear me out." He said calmly taking a step closer to her. She opened her mouth to retaliate but stopped and began fidegeting while he talked.
"Right here we go...The Elders told you to talk to talk to her." Kate looked up at her husband.
"I will...tomorrow but I gotta get the kids to school and I have to keep an eye on my charge...She's been playing up recently." She kids his lips gently and orbed out. Ben threw his arms up in the air in defeat.

May 16th 2006- The Bay Mirror

Phoebe stared at the computer screen. For the past three years she had been giving out advice to other people about how to deal with her problems when really it was her that needed the help.She ran her hands through her hair unable to concentrate any longer and shut down her computer. Phoebe put her elbows on her desk and put her head in her hands. A memory flashed in mind of when she had no worries or fears. Magic and death weren't a a part of her daily life.


Flashback

[Phoebe's room. Phoebe's stands in front of the mirror. The news is on the TV but she's not really watching it. Piper knocks on the door.]
Piper: It's me.
Phoebe: Come on in. (Piper is carrying a tray with drinks and food on it.) Thank God. I am starving.
Piper: Figured. (She sees Jeremy on TV.) Hey, that's my boyfriend, Jeremy. What happened?
Phoebe: Some woman got whacked.
Piper: Whacked? Phoebe, you've been in New York way too long.
Phoebe: Yeah, I should of stayed. Now, why didn't you tell her I was coming back?
Piper: And risk her changing the locks? I don't think so and besides, I think you should of been the one to tell her not me.
Phoebe: Good point, Chicken Little. It's just so hard for me to talk to her. She's always been more like a mother.
Piper: That's not her fault. She practically had to sacrifice ...
Phoebe/Piper: Her own childhood to raise us.
Phoebe: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Piper: And we're lucky she was so responsible. You and I had it easy, all we had to do was be there.
Phoebe: Yeah, well, I don't need a mom anymore, you know, I need a sister.
(Prue knocks on the door. She's holding a blanket.)
Prue: This was always the coldest room in the house.
Phoebe: Thanks.
(Prue leaves.)

A knock at the door brought Phoebe back to reality, she looked up.
"Come in" She figured it would be Elise coming to check up on her but it was Coop. She smiled.
" Hey hunnie." Coop came into the room and stood across from his wife.
"Penny for them?" He asked refering to the upset look on her face.
"I just remembered something about my sisters." Phoebe sat back in her chair. Coop sat down opposite her.
"That's not what's troubling you hunnie...I know you."

Phoebe bit the inside of her lip. She had been doing some digging into her family tree and something had been puzzling her. There had been a huge gap between her mother's name and Prue's. She told Coop this information but he just put it down to coincidence. Phoebe nodded. "Yeah maybe!" She could hear Piper's voice echoing in her head.
"She sacrificed her childhood to keep us safe." But why though?

Chapter 3- The Children

May 16th 2006- Supermarket

Kate balanced her son on her hip and reached up into the air and grabbed the box of cornflakes that he had levitated into the air.
"Matthew, What am I going to do with you?" She smiled at her young son who was giggling madly. She glanced up and down the aisle making sure no one saw Matthew's little stunt, then placed him into the child's seat in the shopping trolley. Kate continued to wander down the fruit and veg. aisle. Sesning eyes on the back of her head she rotated slowly.
"RAWR!!" Two twin girls leapt out from the end of the aisle pretending to be tigers. Kate relaxed an smiled slightly.
"What have I told you about scaring mommy?" She asked mockingly.
"Not to do it!" They said in unison. Kate smiled and bent down to hug them.
"Come on it's time to go home." She yawned as the girls ran ahead to the checkout.

Kate slammed the car door shut, she handed the groccery bags to Ben and unstrapped Matthew from his seat. She picked him up and balanced him on her hip. Kate turned on her heel and headed inside. She wandered into the kitchen as Matthew began to grumble for food. She set him down in his high chair and went over to the fridge. She turned around hearing Ben's voice. She held up her hand.
"Don't say a word Ben!" She said before he could speak. Ben went over to his wife and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled her close to his and brushed her hair away from her face.
"What makes you think I was going to say anything?" Kate looked up into to his deep blue eyes. She smiled and stroked his face then pinched his nose.
"Because you've always got something to say." She kissed his lips ever so gently and wrapped her arms around his neck. Ben kissed her back and stroked the back of her hair.
"Mommy and Daddy sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Giggled the twins who had been standing at the door. Kate laughed and Ben swooped them both up tickling there stomachs. The tw young girls squealed with laughter as their mother pulled food out of the fridge.
"Who wants pasta for dinner?"
"Me!" All four of them cried out. Kate laughed at Ben who was acting like a little child again.

May 17th 2006 3.00 am- Halliwell Manor

Phoebe's slender body twisted and turned in awkward directions. The bed covers were a tangled mess and the sweat dripped off her forehead. She had been having the same dream for weeks and everytime the same thing happened. She was walking along a corridor and openeing the door. Blinded by the light she was unable to see what was on the other side but she knew it was good but this time the dream was more sisister.

A young child clung to her teddy bear as though letting it go just the slightest bit might take it away from her. Dark curls framed her face and made her ice blue eyes stand out against her milk bottle white skin. Tear tracks were etched on her young face as she huddled in the corner of a darkened room. Outside she coud hear their voice but she as unable to hear what they were saying. A fresh batch of tears trickled down her cheeks and into the teddy bear's brown fur. The little girl nuzzled her nose into it's fur for comfort.
"I'ts okay Wuvey Mommy will come for us I know she will"

Phoebe sat bolt upright in bed. "Wuvey?" She said out loud. Coop stood up from his spot by the window. He looke at his wife with fear in his eyes.
"Wuvey. Phoebe what are you talking about is everything alright?" He sat down on the edge of the bed and took Phoebe's hand in his. Phoebe shook her head.
" There's a teddy bear upstairs it belonged to Prue...It's called Wuvey! But the little girl in my dream had it....Coop something doesn't add up here. What was Prue doing with that little girl's teddy bear."

Chapter 4- Breakfast Time!

May 17th 2006- Hennesey Household

The ice chinked against the glass as the ice cold lemonade was poured into the glass. Melinda Hennesey put the jug of lemonade back in the fridge and sat back at the kitchen table. The house was completely silent except from the old ticking grandfather clock in the living room. Melinda glanced up at the clock, it was only 7am but it was unusual for her family to sleeping in that late. As if on cue there were noises from above and she heard her mother go in the shower. There was a creaking on the stairs and a few seconds later her father appeared at the door. He smiled at his daughter and kissed the top of her head.
"Morning Princess. How's my baby girl doing on this lovely morning?" He asked cheerfully.
"Great." She said quietly. Her father sat across from her, eating his bran flakes. She loved to spend time with her dad on her own. She didn't see much of him as he worked long hours and when he was home he was always tired.

Kate knocked on her daughter Rose's bedroom door and entered without waiting for a reply. She crossed the room and perched on the end of it. She tilted her head to one side and watched Rose as she fixed her make-up in the mirrored wardrobes. Rose looked at her mother in the mirror.
"Is there any reason why I am blessed with your company this morning?" She asked mockingly.
"Ha ha, no I was just wondering if you were coming shopping with us all today?" She enquired hoping her daughter would spend a little time with them.
"Hmm....that's a tough one." She grinned then nodded. "Sure I'll come....as long as I don't have to babysit." She added hastily knowing how much her little brother and sisters liked to play with her. Kate stood up and hugged Rose from behind and smiled at her in the mirror.
"You won't even realise they are there." She said releasing Rose from her hug.

There was a noise at the door and when she turned around she saw the youngest member of the family standing in the doorway clutching his blanket and rubbing his eyes. Kate went over and picked Matthew up. He adjusted himself on her hip so he was sitting comfortably.
"Don't be long babe we're leaving as soon as the twins are ready." She closed the door behind her and popped her head in the door opposite.
"Serena, Bridget Get up!" She yelled there was a grumble from inside the room and once satisfied that her youngest daughter's were up she began to descend the staircase.

Melinda looked up at her dad hearing her mom yell.
"Someone sounds like they are in a bad mood" She told her dad. Ben smiled at his daughter and shook his head.
"Na, she's in a brilliant mood this morning. "He retorted. Kate came into the airy kitchen still balancing Matthew on her hip. He was now fully dressed and awake. She sat him down on the chair next to his sister and began humming.
"Coco pops mommy!" He called out grinning widly. Kate and Ben laughed at their young son but Melinda didn't. She tried to hide her look of distaste. Ever since she was little she had felt like the black sheep of the family and since her youngest sibling had been born she had felt more shunned than ever. Kate put the bowl of coco pops down in front of her son and sat down next to her husband. She put an arm around the back of his neck and played with his hair. He turned to face her and say the strange look on her face. A kind of vacant look where her eyes looked as if there was no one home.
"Hunnie?" He enquired. Kate's ice blue eyes had became misty a sign that she had been shocked into a premonition. Trying not to alarm his daughter he stayed calm and waited for his wife to finish. Melinda looked up at her parents and knew somethinf was bothering them both but she looked back down and concentrated on her toast.

Kate came out of the premontion breathing heavily. She closed her eyes and tried to calm down. "Phoebe?" She whispered. She turned to her husband.
"Phoebe's still alive! They lied to me!" She cried out pushing her chair away from the table. She stood up with tears in her eyes and was about to orb out but Ben grabbed her arm.
"No! Kate you have to take it slowly..She doesn't have a clue who you are." Kate stopped for a moment and nodded and stared out through the kitchen window.

May 17th 2006- The Graveyard

Phoebe slumped to her knees in front of Piper and Prue's graves. She held in her hands two bunches of flowers one of lilies and the other of orchinds. Each chosen especially for her sisters as they were their favorites. They seemed so meaningless now that she sat their satring at the faces of her beloved sister's on the gravestones. She had only been there a couple of seconds and the tears already trickled down her face. She layed the flowers down on either grave and tucked her hair behind her ears.
"5 years guys...It doesn't seem that long ago. You both always moaned that the house was too cramped and that it was wrong for us all to living in there together for so long....It's so different now with only me and Coop." She wiped her tears away as a fresh memory sprung to mind.

[Scene: Manor. Prue and Phoebe are sitting on the couch. Piper walks past.]
Prue: Hey, can we talk to you for a second? It's kind of important.
Piper: Sure. Everything okay?
Phoebe: Yeah, it's, um, it's just we're more than excited that you and Leo decided to move back in... Um, we sort of have to ask you to move back out again.
Prue: Of your room. And into mine. I mean, it is twice as big and you now are twice the people.
Piper: Really?
Prue: Really.
Piper: That would be great. (She sits on Prue and hugs her.) That would be so great.
Phoebe: Hey, you know what? I deserve hugs too because I'm moving all of my stuff out of your bathroom so you and Leo could do the...
Piper: That would be really great.
Prue: See? It will just be like having your own place.
Phoebe: Yeah, only with your sisters right down the hall.
Prue: Yeah, I mean, I know we can't be together forever.
Piper: But it feels good that forever isn't today.


Tears spouted from Phoebe's eyes and streamed down her face. Her heart still felt like it was being ripped from her chest and now it was 5 years on.
"You guys said that we couldn't live together forever but I at least expecting another 10 years. Not a month....I only had you for a month after that day." Phoebe looked at her watch.
" Sorry guys but work calls...I'll try and come back next week but things are a little tough just now." She stroked each headston as if she was stroking the face of each sister and walked away with her head bowed against the strong wind.

[~*Alicia*~]

I love it <3 So well written and OMG it is so great! I have a guess on Kate's identity but I'll have to wait to see what happens and WHO she REALLY is. Love it! Keep up the good work.

[Honey Halliwell <3]

Lol! I'll try and keep Kate's identity out of it for as long as possible but I might just have to let it out in the next two chapters lol But thanks for the comments hun! ;D

Chapter 5- Face To Face

May 17th 2006- Hennesey Household

"No I will not calm down!" Kate shouted storming into her room and slamming the door shut in Ben's face. He opened the door calmly and followed his wife. He knew she could be a handful. It was like looking after a child when her temper flared. He went futher into the room and kept an eye out for flying shoes as this was a custom event when she was mad. He found her standing in their walk in wardrobe with her arms folded. Ben put his arms around her waist and put his chin on her shoulder.
"If you go to find what exactly are you going to say huh?" He kissed her cheek and spun her around so she was facing him. Kate nodded and leaned against her husband.
"I just wanna see her so much." She whispered. A surge of pain shot through her. She doubled over.
"Phoebe!" Her eyes grew wide as she orbed out. Ben called after his wife but it was too late. He knew her reckless behaviour would result in something bad happening or worse her behaviour would result in the truth coming out. He spun around and ran out of the house.

May 17th 2006 - Alleyway

Phoebe bolted along the alleyway from the demon as an ice cold shower of rain fell from the sky. Her heart thudded in her chest and her breathing was deep but she knew if she stopped now it could result in death. She felt the energy ball hit her in the arm and screamed in pain and stopped. She whipped around and faced the demon. Of all the crazy things she had done in life this was going to be one of the craziest. She backed away from the demon who was laughing mercilessly. She wanted to cry to call out for Coop but she would never let a demon see her fear. Please don't let me die! She thought inwardly. As if on cue there was a swirl of pink orbs behind the demon and a young woman with long dark hair and ice blue eyes orbed in. Phoebe narrowed her eyes, the rain was beating down so heavily now that her vision was obscured. Prue? It can't be! The resemblance between her eldest sister and the young woman was uncanny.
"Phoebe!" The voice rang out through the alleyway but she was too late the energy ball hit her square in the chest. Her bpdy arched through the air and fell in a crumpled heap. The demon shimmered out and the young woman ran over to her and shook her lifeless body. She orbed them both out and back to Halliwell manor and desperatley tried to heal her.

[p3xocharmedonexop3]

Keep up the good work!

[~*Alicia*~]

OMG! Love the update, Honey! Keep it coming!

[Honey Halliwell <3]

I won't keep you guys any longer lol!! Here we go!

Chapter 6- The Revalation

May 17th 2006- Halliwell Manor

Kate

Kate placed Phoebe's limp body on the sofa and held her hands across her chest. She allowed all the love in her heart to seep through her hands and into Phoebe. A pink light shone from her hands and slowly but surely Phoebe's face began to get more pinker and her chest began to rise. Kate let out a sigh of relief and Phoebe sat bolt upright and stared around the room. Kate stood up and backed away slowly afraid Phoebe might freak out at the new face in the room.[/color]

Phoebe

Phoebe took a second to register where she was. She was confused and scared. She looked up at the woman standing in the room. Her long dark curls framed her thin face and she had ice blue eyes that looked scared and anxious. It was a face she knew.

Kate

Kate looked down at Phoebe. "Don't be scared...I'm a whitelighter... I felt your pain in the alleyway. That's why I orbed in....Lucky I did or you would have been dead." She sat down on the sofa across from Phoebe. She swung her dark curls over her shoulder and picked at her cuticles.

Phoebe

Phoebe sat up and faced her." I know you...I saw you in a dream...You're teddy bear...The demons...You were so fightened." She began to rhyme off how much she new about the new woman. "You're so familiar...It's as if I already know you." She frowned and aighed thinking she was going mad.

Kate

Kate looked up hearing about the teddy bear and demons. " Wuvvy? You know about Wuvvy...I suppose it makes sense that she kept it around." Kate began to pick her cuticles furiously when Phoebe went on to say about how she felt like she knew her. "You do know me Phoebe and I know you...Really well actually." She took a deep breath and sighed. " We're sisters Phoebe...." She stared at Phoebe and prayed for a good reaction.

They two young woman stared at each other across the room. Neither saying anything to the other in fear of saying the wrong thing. The atmosphere was tense and the mood of the room could have been cut with a knife. The deafaning silence was only broken by the quiet jingle of orbs.

[~*Alicia*~]

Love it <3 But you already know this, lol I want more, I love your story! And apparently my guess was right

[Honey Halliwell <3]

I will keep you waiting no longer lol

Chapter 7- History

May 17th 2006- Halliwell Manor-Living Room

The orbs took shape and the silhouette of a tall, lean man formed between the two women. First his disheveled dark hair stood out and recognizing the hair Kate rose to her feet. The man turned around and looked between the two women. The tense atmosphere between them made his worst fears come true. Ben turned to his wife and glared at her. "You were told to leave it honey." He turned to Phoebe and nodded to her.[/color]

Phoebe

Phoebe sat stunned at the news that she had heard. Sister?....She couldn't be. Phoebe studied the young woman's face. She was a little older than she was but still quite young. She had a mass of almost jet-black curls and ice blue eyes. Prue's eyes. Phoebe looked at her more closely and saw how much she looked like Prue. The same hair color, eyes color, the high cheek bones. She had the same posture and pursed lips....if her hair had been straight she would have been sure that she was Prue.

Kate

For all that Ben glared at her Kate glared back with an almost fury in her eyes. She folded her arms. " Well she is my sister...She has a right to know." Kate turned to face Phoebe. Her eyes became softer and her lips unpursed. "I'm sorry to drop that type of bombshell on you but I really do believe you have a right to know that you have another sister." Kate held her hand up to her husband. "Don't even think about it...Sit down and don't say a word." Kate moved over and sat down on the oppsite side of the sofa from Phoebe and looked her in the eye.

Phoebe

Phoebe stiffled a laugh as she noticed how fiery her temper was. It was like a reincarnation of Prue standing right in front of her. She smiled at her as she sat down. She apprieciated how the woman-Her sister- took her feelings into so much consideration. She frowned slightly and tilted her head to the side and she realised that she didn't even know her sister's name. She giggled slightly. "I'm sorry but I don't even know your name!" She smiled and looked up at her big sister catching her eye.

Kate

Kate smiled slightly at her sister's sudden reaslisation. "Well actually this is where it get's confusing. My name is Kate Hennessey but to you Halliwell's my name is Payton Halliwell. But just call me Kate for easyness." She paused but the look on Phoebe's face made her continue on with waht she was saying." I am the daughter of Patricia Halliwell and Victor Bennett, I am 37 years old. That means there is a year and a half between me and Prue...When I was 5 years old Mom fell pregnant with you. Prue and Piper were still little so they didn't really know but I was so excited." She smiled at the fond memory of her mother telling her she was having another baby. "But about a week later I awoke in the middle of the night hearing Piper crying....Mom had been up all night with sickness so she was in a deep sleep...." Kate frowned trying to remember the exact details. "I crept out of my room taking my bear with me and into Prue and Piper's....There was a demon trying trying to get close to them but Piper kept freezing them....I ran over to their bed and told them to hide under the covers....Then the demon unfroze and grabbed me before we could do anything....I was taken to the underworld and held captive for three weeks. They gave me barely any food, very little water and they used to beat me and all sorts. I had lost eveything...My family, my freedom. I was 5 years old and I was completley terrified. I can't stay in a small room or shut my door at night." Kate looked down at the floor blushing slightly having finally admitted her greatest fear..

She finished the beginning of her story looking solemn. "I would have given anything to have met you Phoebe....I chose your name you know....Mom used to go on about her favorite Aunt Phoebe and her and Dad were thinking about calling you Priscilla." She made a face and giggled slightly. "So I said why not Phoebe after Great Aunt Phoebe and they both loved it." She grinned. "That's why I knew your name....even though you weren't even born when I was taken. "

Both Phoebe and Ben sat in silence listening to Kate's story as both had never heard it before. The terrible tragedy of the story was that it didn't end there. Kate's story contiued on with more loss and death. As Ben watch his wife's beautiful face sink into a sorriful frown he realised how much suffering she had went through in her life and that was why she wrapped their children up in cotton wool. He went over to his wife and kissed her head gently. "I love you." He whispered. He stood up straight. "I'll go make some coffee. Give you two more time to talk. " He said leaving the room. Ben made his way to kitchen leaving the two Halliwell woman to discuss the next chapter of Kate's tale.
