Nine Lives

Life Three

Charlie landed roughly on to a round table that seemed to be located in a large house. She could hear females shouting but all she cared about was the fact everything hurt and she was still alive. The last thing she remembered was seeing the yellow taxi coming right at her in New York but now she was laying on a hardwood floor with a broken table under her. She slowly stood up and noticed three woman standing on the stairs that were near the table.

"Piper freeze them" A female voice ordered.

"They won't freeze" Another answered. Once that was said Charlie was sent flying a few feet into the what seemed to be a living room or sitting room.

"Who are you?" A firm female voice asked. Charlie groaned as she sat up slowly.

"I'm Charlie" She said standing up and looking at the woman in front of her and groaned. "You got to be kidding me! Another show?!" The woman looked at each other confused then looked back at the strange redhead.

*Time Skip*

"So you have died twice already." Phoebe stated clearly still confused. The four woman were sitting in the living room and Charlie had explained what had been happening to her. She figured if this was actually happening then the Charmed ones would be able to help her figure out how to stop it.

"Yes" Charlie confirmed as she nodded. "Where I was born you guys are just a tv show, bad asses but fiction. In fact magic isn't a thing either."

"Well seeing as you seem to be cursed to travel between words your world must have some type of magic" Prue said before sitting down on the coffee table. Piper and Phoebe were in the arm chair with Charlie on the couch. Prue had been standing up until now.

"Maybe Leo could help?" Piper offered.

"So you guys know about Leo..good to get some kind of time line." Charlie mumbled to herself.

"Good idea, Leo!!" Phoebe called and soon white lights brought Leo their whitelighter.

"What do you need...whose that?" Leo asked looking over at Charlie.

"Have you ever heard anything about world jumping after dying?" Prue asked looking over at Leo who looked confused. The confused look make Charlie tell him the same story as she had just told the charmed one.

"I've never heard of anything but I can ask the elders. Until then staying alive is probably the best idea" Leo said.

"I've already died twice. I don't really want to die again, who knows how many times I'll come back." Charlie joked. It was strange coming from her as she had tried to end her life just one life before this. Dying twice seemed to give her a new look on life, or maybe the fact that she was half sure that she was actually died anyways might have a play in her new cheerful mood. Leo smiled before orbing out of the house.

"You should probably stay inside for now" Prue said.

*Two days later*

Charlie walked downstairs in the PJs she had been given by Piper. It had been two days since Charlie had landed in the Halliwell manor and she was fitting in quite nicely. She had Phoebe breathing down her throat trying to get more info about the future which Charlie thought was ironic, she hardly spoke with Prue but she could tell she was already protective over her and Piper and Charlie had gotten rather close.

"Hey Phoebe..." Charlie called out hoping to find the youngest Halliwell. She wanted to ask about seeing the book of shadows when a Demon had burst through the door. She screamed and tried running up the stairs. The demon blinked up the stairs in front of her and threw her over the railing. Ironically she landed on top of the same table that she had landed on when she first showed up.

The three charmed ones walked in to the Manor just as the demon threw a fire ball at an already heavily wounded Charlie.

"CHARLIE!"

The demon went to throw another one which Prue used to vanquish him. The sisters rushed over to the ginger who laid dying on the hardwood flooring. Piper propped her up tears rolling down her face.

"No no no" Piper cried.

"Leo!" Prue called as she had her own tears coming to her eyes. She may have not gotten to close to Charlie but it was nice to have a friend who knew about them being Witches that they could talk to. It was hard not to get attached to the ginger.

Leo orbed in a few moments later and dropped to the ground holding his hands over Charlie. A small amount of light left his hands but after a moment or two the wound was still there.

"What's happening?!" Phoebe asked confused at why nothing was happening.

"She's gone" Leo looked at the sisters who all looked devastated by the death of the ginger.
