A Life Not So Charmed

Hey Little Sister.

The wedding was upon us, we invited Sheila, Sonja, Julie and Darryl. The entirety of Andy's family and all of ours. We flew to Cabo a few days before, to make sure the wedding planner had everything under control, we of course couldn't have Grams or mom there, but we were having a private family get together when we returned to The Adirondacks.

We seen that everything was under control, we kicked back and rested until Prue took that long walk to marriage. Prue was a bag of nerves, we held a bachelorette party the night before for her to try and calm her, we made sure Leo held one for Andy. It was actually fun, Andy's mom really can't hold her liquor, she danced for hours alone to music with words she didn't understand.

Andy's dad apparently hired strippers, he was old fashioned strippers and cigars were his idea of heaven and a real bachelor party. We didn't have any of that. We had a few tequilas and sparking waters, Prue was ordered to go to bed early and get some rest, we wanted her to look radiant on her big day. Prue gave Andy a huge kiss and took our advice and she went to bed. The rest of us were soon to follow her. We had the older children look after the twins, although i was full of milk, i needed to kick back as well.

I called Cole and asked him what time he would be back? He told me that Andy is on his ninth bourbon, that he and Morris are getting him to bed as soon as possible. I told him that i was walking to Chris and Wyatt's apartment, when suddenly i had this premonition, it was a demon attack at the wedding. I got the boys and brought them home, i called Cole again, i told him what I'd seen.

He told me, "well since it's happened to us, Piper and Paige, it'll be traditional for a demon to attack."

Since it hadn't happened and i seen his face, i had dad draw it for me.

I showed it to Cole, he said, "that's a warlock, one I've never seen before, how would a warlock know about this wedding? Unless Sonja had told her coven?"

I thought for a moment and said, "why would she? She has been wonderful, is there something she's hiding?"

I looked on Sonja's website and got another premonition, Cole was right, it was from her, but why? I looked through the names of all the members, then came across a face i recognised, the same warlock from my premonition, i cast the shimmering spell on myself. I shimmered all the way to The Catskills where he was living and freaked him out when i was stood in his lounge.

He nervously asked, "who are you? Are you a demon?"

I replied, "no Jon, I'm not a demon, I'm a witch, a former charmed one, but you have planned to interfere in my sisters wedding tomorrow, why is that? Who told you about us and why would you do it, if you are in a coven?"

Jon stood up, "woah lady, you've got the wrong man, but there is a person in our coven that can shapeshift like a demon."

I demanded to know who? Jon said, "it's Sonja, she's half demon. She can shimmer just like you, she can do a lot of demonic things, but she's not a bad person, why she plans on attacking the wedding, is anyones guess? Unless she feels inferior to the bride, which could be the only explanation?"

I called Cole, from Jons lounge, i said, "I'm here in this man's lounge, i don't sense anything evil from him, nor does he intend on crashing the wedding tomorrow, it's Sheilas wife Sonja, she feels Prue is too superior to her, she's also half demon according to this guy here?"

Cole replied, "really, she never struck me as being a demon, she must have never lived in the underworld?"

The man Jon exclaimed, "did you just say Cole, as in Cole Turner?"

I looked down at him as he sat in his chair, i nodded, "yeah, he's my husband, why?"

Jon replied, "well lady, i hope he's ready for this news, she's his half sister, his father impregnated another demon, Sonja was the product of that relationship, he had an affair. Well it wasn't an affair really, he assumed that Cole's mother wasn't ever coming back."

I asked, "how do you know all this Jon? Why does this have anything to do with Prue?"

Jon answered, "well, she does see Prue as a threat to her, but she's trying to get Cole's attention, even though she's been wanting to tell him for a while."

It began to make sense. I shimmered home and Cole said, "my half sister?

My father the demon magnet." Well that's a phrase I've heard often. I told Cole to call his dad, he needs to speak with Sonja, she can't disrupt Prue's big day tomorrow. Cole called Benjamin and demanded to know when he procreated with another demon?

Benjamin replied, "well, when your mother was in the underworld looking for you, she was gone a very long time, i didn't think she was coming back. I met this lady while in town, we went for a few drinks and we hit it off, your mother knows about this relationship, the girl might just be your sister."

Cole said, "dad, you need to talk to her, she is planning to wreak havoc on Prue's wedding tomorrow, we can't allow that."

Elizabeth took the phone, she said, "then make a power stripping potion and voila no bad wedding. Oh and Cole, i believe she has the power of telepathy, the potion needs to come from someone that she least expects it from."

I had to shimmer to the house, make the potion, slip into their room order for the next morning. All we had to do is wait and see if she takes it. The plan was successful, she drank the coffee that she had ordered and the demonic powers subsided from her. Sonja's witch powers were also weakened. Cole was told by his mother that he needs to speak with Sonja at the reception and get to know her, she can't go on seeking attention because she didn't grow up with her father or brother.

Cole told us not to tell Sheila, that it would truly terrify her. We decided that once the wedding was over that Cole would introduce himself as her brother and if she wants to meet their father, then she was more than welcome to. We woke up and fed the twins, we got them ready, we went down and we watched as Sonja was throwing daggers at us, she knew she couldn't do anything, so we watched as my big sister married the love of her life and Cole pulled Sonja aside telling her that he knows that she's family and had she came to him, her powers wouldn't have been stripped.

Sonja looked sad, she looked embarrassed, she then began begging Cole, "please don't tell Sheila, i adore the ground she walks on and the young men we've both raised. I would also like to know my father, is he willing to let me be apart of his life?"

Cole puts his arms around her, then said, "yes, little sister, father wants to meet you. Tell me one thing though, who was your mother?"

Sonja chuckled, "you're not going to believe this?"

Cole said, "go on, who was it or is it?"

Sonja lowered her head, she answered, "she's dead, your in-laws killed her, in fact it was her that married Prue to Zile."

Cole was shocked, "Dantalion was your mother? She certainly kept that quiet."

Sonja said, "Cole, when she was marrying Prue to Zile, she only wanted to take the powers and pass them onto me. Dantalion never wanted to hurt Prue."

"Wow, just wow." Cole a man that could ramble for hours in front of judges was speechless. We decided then not to tell Sheila, as she wasn't a threat to her. We had to tell Prue, Piper and Paige. We decided to wait until Prue and Andy returned from their honeymoon, a vacation that none of us truly had. We've all had vacations, but never exotic honeymoons that the Trudeau's have splurged on for Prue and Andy.
