Charmed Again- Chapter 7
San Francisco, California
Piper angrily stormed out of the attic, Both her husband and her remaining sister hot on her heals.
''Piper, come on.'' Phoebe said with sighed. ''Look, I
know that this is a big deal. For all of us. Don't you think i'm a little freaked out myself?I mean, to be told that you have a sister when your my age?It's a little disorianting, let me tell you. I know that she should of said something to us
before, but can you try putting yourself in her shoes for just one second, Piper?''
''No.'' Piper answered, marching down the long wooden staircase.
''Well, just try.'' Phoebe said. ''Piper, you can't just ignore all of this, because it's not going to go away. We
need the Power of three to vanquish The Source.'' Phoebe said, following Piper down in the kitchen. ''We've destroyed Shax, but that was-''
''Look, Phoebe.''Piper said angrily, wipping around to face her sister squarely. ''This is alot to take in. And there's so much that I need to deal with right now. I just need some time to think everything out.''
''I know.'' Phoebe said sadly.''I'm sorry.''
''Piper.'' Leo said quietely, putting his comforting arm around her shoulder. ''We'll deal with everything. I know that everthing that your mother just told you is a pretty big deal. I know I would be freaking out if it was me.'' He paused and pulled her closer to him. ''But, think about it, Liz is all alone right now. She just found out that she's got these power's. And that's she's a witch. She got completely freaked out when Shax attacked her for the 3rd time. And then we freaked her out even more when we told her to join hands with you two and say a spell to vanquish Shax. Then I had to open my mouth and tell her that you were her sister. How do you think she's taking it?''
Piper sighed. ''Pretty crappy I guess. But she has Alex by her side at least.''
''Yeah, it's true.'' Phoebe said quietely. ''She'll be okay for now. She's got Alex with her.''
''Think I should go talk to her?'' Piper suggested, suddenly feeling guilty. She had been so wrapped up in her own life that she hadn't thought one second about how Liz was feeling.
''I guess that wouldn't be such a bad idea.'' Leo said.
''Yeah, I guess you and I should go talk to her.'' Phoebe said, looking at Piper.
''Yeah,'' Piper said, ''But not tonight. It's too late now and anyhow, Alex went after her. So I think I she'll be alright for tonight. It's not like Shax is after her anymore.''
''Shax may be dead, but the Source...''Phoebe said. ''What if he sends another assasin after us?After her?''
''For God's sakes, Phoeb's.'' Piper said, looking inside the fridge and pulling out a bottle of water. ''We only just killed Shax. It'll take more than a few hours for the Source to get another assasin after us, don't you think?''
''I hope your right.'' Phoebe answered.

Roswell, New Mexico
Max Evans came to a full stop in front of the Valenti's house and quickly excited the vehicle. Tess rolled her eye's and excited the passenger door.
''Max, I thought you were just coming to drop me off?'' Tess asked as she quickly followed him up the small stone steps that led toward the Valenti's front door.
''I'm here to drop you off, but I also need to talk to Kyle.'' Max answered.
''Talk to Kyle.?'' Tess asked, confused. ''About what exactly?''
''Something important.'' Max answered.
''Ok-ay.'' Tess muttered to herself. ''And there I thought you were coming to tuck me into bed.''
''Is the Sheriff here?'' Max asked Tess when he got to the front of the door.
''No, Jim's not home.'' Tess answered. ''I'm not sure where he went, I just know that he's not here.''
''Good,'' Max said as the front door of the house suddenly swung open and Kyle stood there, looking at Max and then down at Tess.
''What are you guy's standing there for?'' Kyle asked.
''Kyle.'' Max said coldly, turning to face him. ''Is it okay if we talk?''
''Uh...'' Kyle said, looking at Tess for some reasurance. Tess simply shrugged at him and gave him a puzzled smile. Apparently she herself didn't know what was going on. ''I don't know...I mean, sure, I guess.''
''Good.'' Max said, just as coldly as before. He stepped inside the house before Kyle could object.
''Alright, then.'' Tess said. ''I'm going to go to my room and i'll let you two talk..about whatever it is that you have to talk about.'' She quickly hurried out of the living room, leaving a pissed off Max and and desperate Kyle behind.
''So, what's up?'' Kyle asked. ''And it'd be appreciated if you could hurry up and get what it is that you want to tell me out of your system, because I was sort of watching a basketball game on tv. And it's a pretty important game. One of the most important game of the season. And I wouldn't like to miss it.''
''Alright then,'' Max said, ''Then I guess I'll just get straight to the point.''
''Yeah, that would be great.'' Kyle answered.
''Alright then.'' Max said. ''I want the truth. About what happened between you and Liz back in September. And I mean the real the truth. Not that 'I slept with her, you saw it yourself crap'.''
''Max, you saw-''
''I told you not to give me that bullshit, Kyle.'' Max said, anger building inside of him. ''I might of seen you in bed with her. But I know that you didn't actually have sex with her. Liz would never betray me like that. Never. I know her. And I know she loved me just as much as I loved her. And I know that she's been hiding something from me. Probably something important.''
''Max-'' Kyle started, but once again Max interupted him.
''I need you to tell me the real truth, Kyle.'' Max said, looking at him squarely. ''I need the truth and I need it right now.''
''Liz is going to kill me.'' Kyle said angrily. ''I can-''
''I don't give a shit if she tortures you to death or even sets you on fire.'' Max growled angrily.
Kyle let out a sighed before answering him. ''We didn't sleep together. It was a setup. She set it up so you would see it.''
''Why did she do it?'' Max asked. ''Why would she do that to me?''
''I don't know.'' Kyle answered. ''I swear Max, I don't know. She said she didn't want to talk about it.''
''Liz isn't going to tell me the truth.'' Max said, mostly to himself than to Kyle. ''She'll deny it. I'll have to try something else.''
****************************************
About half an hour later...
''Max?'' Maria asked, clearly confused as she opened her front door. ''Well, that's a suprise...what exactly are you doing here??''
''I'm here to talk to you about something.'' Max stated. ''Something important.''
''What do you want to talk about?'' Maria asked, stepping on the front porche and closing the door behind her so that her mother wouldn't overhear they're conversation.
''I'm here to talk to you about Liz.'' Max said. ''About what happened between her and Kyle.''
For a fraction of a second, a look of pure panic crossed Maria's face, but only seconds later her face was back to normal. ''Oh, well, yeah, that's a tragic shame isn't?But it's been almost a year...shouldn't you have gotten over it or something?Aren't you going out with Tess now??I mean I saw you two a couple of day's ago holding each other's hands in the hall. I thought I was going to puke.''
''I'm not interested in Tess.'' Max said for what seemed to have been the a hundreth time. ''And no I haven't gotten over what happened between Liz and Kyle. And i'm hoping you can help me out here.''
''What, do you want to sleep with me?'' Maria asked jokingly. ''But I mean, seriously, what's there to talk about?'' Maria asked. ''I don't know anything, Max. I just know what happened between the two of them, that's all.''
''Kyle told me the truth.'' Max said. ''I know it was a setup.
Liz set it up. And I want to know
why she set it up so that I would catch the two of them in bed together.''
''Uh...'' Maria choked out.
''Maria, I just want to know the truth.'' Max asked sadly. ''Please?''
''Max, I can't.'' Maria said. ''It's not up to me to tell you. It's up to Liz. She'll tell you when she's ready or something.''
''Maria, she won't tell me anything and you know it.'' Max sighed.
''Look, I really can't tell you anything, okay?It's not up to me to tell you, Max.'' Maria said. ''I would if I could, but I promised Liz.''
''So what?'' Max asked. ''What am I supposed to do?Am I supposed to go up to her and just wait for her to tell me??How long am I suppose to wait until she actually tells me?A year?Two year's?''
''Something like that.'' Maria answered hurriedly when she heard her mother calling her from inside the house. She opened the door and poked her head inside, ''Mom, it's okay, i'll be in in a couple of seconds.'' She closed the door and turned back to facing Max. ''Go see her. Go talk to her. Fix thing's, Max. I'm tired of seeing you heartbroken all the time. It's breaking my heart to see you like this.''
''Okay, I guess you right.'' Max asked, running a nervous hand through his dark black hair.''I'll go see her and talk to her. And hopefully make thing's better.''
''Yup,'' Maria said, smiling. ''That's my boy.''
Maria was right. He'd have to go to her. He didn't give a crap that it was close to midnight. He had to speak with her
now. He needed answers.
*******************************************
Liz quietely orbed into her bedroom and immediately threw herself on her bed. She could not beleive everything that had happened to her. All in one day. Alex, Piper and Phoebe, the demon who had tried to kill her, Shax. Her new found power's. She felt confused and exhausted. All she wanted right now was to fall asleep.
But of course that was apparently not going to happen. The second she threw herself on her bed, she saw a figure appear by her bed in a shower of blue lights. Alex. It had to be him.
She looked up, and sure enough, Alex was standing there, looking down at her.
''Liz,'' He said simply, sitting down on the bed next to her and placing a sympathetic hand over her hand. ''You okay?''
Liz looked up at him and shrugged. ''Gee, I don't know Alex. I just learned that i'm a witch with orbing power's. My best dead friend is,well, back from the dead and apparently have three sister's nobody ever told me about, and one of them is dead, killed by the same demon that has wanted me dead since this morning.'' She paused and then added, ''And I have no idea how it's possible that I have three older sister's, because I am telling you I have not been adopted. It's just
not possible.'' She paused once more and looked at Alex. ''How are you doing?''
''Feeling like crap.'' Alex replied. ''I was dead, now i'm alive, brought back as a whitelighter to protect innocent witches'...and boy witches'...I'm not sure how you call those. Also, nobody except my best friends know that i'm alive and I can't even see or talk to the girl that I love because she'd probably have a heart attack if she saw me and plainly, I just can't make her see me.''
''Isabel...'' Liz said quietely. ''Alex...you have to go see her. You have to. She loves you, Alex. I know she does. It's been so hard on her since you've been...gone. And Maria,'' Liz said, shaking her head and thinking of her other best friend and how devastated she had been when Alex had died. ''You need to go see her and explain. We've missed you so much, Alex. You can't even imagi-''
Liz froze all of a sudden and concentrated hard on listening. She could hear someone climbing her latter that led up to her balcony. And her biggest bet was that that person was no other than Max Evans himself.
''What's wrong?'' Alex asked suddenly aware that something was very wrong.
''Alex, you have to go. Now.'' Liz whispered urgently. ''Max is coming up that latter!''
''Oh, God,'' Alex said, and without saying anything else he quickly dissapeared in a shower of blue lights.
Only seconds after Alex had left, Max's face appeared at her window. He was obviously here to talk about what had happened this morning. What else would he be here for?
Liz slowly got up from her bed and dragged herself to the window. She slowly pulled it open to find herself facing Max.
''Liz,'' He practically whispered her name, which practically sent chills down Liz's spine.
''Max,'' Liz said. ''What are you doing here?'' She quickly turned to look on her bedside table at the clock, which read
11:44.
''I need to talk to you.'' Max answered quietely. ''I need some answers.''
''Max, it's
11:45 at night.'' Liz said. ''Are you sure this can't wait in the morning?I am really tired right now, you have no idea.''
''Kyle told me the truth, Liz.'' Max said, going straight to the point. ''He told me you two never slept together.''
Liz didn't answer him right away. She was in shock. Kyle had sworn not to tell anybody. How could he have done this to her!?
''Liz,'' Max repeated gently. ''Can you just explain to me why you would do something like that?Why did you set it up so that I would catch you two in bed together?Do you have anhy idea what you've put me through?I loved you,Liz. I loved you so much. I would of done anything in the world just to be able to hold you in my arms again. But then you set it up with Kyle. I just want answers Liz. That's all I want from you.''
''Max, I can't tell you why I did it.'' Liz answered. ''I'm sorry that I did what I did. But I had no choice. You were stubborn Max. I wouldn't have had to do what I did if you would of just fallen out of love with me when I gave you that speech.''
''That speech wasn't real either, was it?'' Max choked angrily. ''You made up that speech. Everything you told me was all bullshit.''
Liz nodded. ''I'm
sorry. I'm
really,
really sorry.''
