I'm A Witch And A Sports Star

I know that there is an afterlife. I know there is and I need there to be. I need for that place that I believe in to exist more than almost anything I can think of to name.

Locked from other Charmed muses

I have to believe in an Afterlife because I need to know that there is a place where my parents are together with each other and with their version of Cole that they loved so much. I need to believe that my Mom is happy with Dad and Cole and that the perpetual sadness that was always in her eyes is gone forever. I need to believe that my Dad doesn't have that hard smile or those empty eyes any longer. He never healed from Mom's death and I need to believe that they are together again.

I need to believe that they are together again and happy and beyond all of the pain that the world brought them. I have to believe that there is happiness and peace from Mom's burden of being a Charmed One and watching person after person that she cared about die or be corrupted.

I need to believe in all of this.

I need to believe that there is a place after death that I will one day see and be with my parents again.

My greatest fear? That would be the fear of being rejected by my family here in this universe/timeline.

Most days, I realize that it's a stupid fear to have because I don't think my parents in any universe could reject or turn their back on any of their children -- especially my mom.

Yet, the fear is there that they won't want me if they found out everything -- if they find out how badly I've been lying to them. The fear that they won't want anything to do with their liar for a daughter.

I keep telling myself that they would never abandon me, that they would understand why I kept the things from them that I have. I mean, how could they expect a child (or a teenager, now) to tell her three parents that they're all dead in her world?

The logical part of my mind is telling me that I'm worrying over nothing and they would never shove me out of their lives.

But sometimes, I still get really scared.

Dear Mom and Dad,

So, I'm sitting here in a hotel room with a window that looks out over the Bay. It's Spring Break, so, as far as the Halliwell Clan and my parents here know, I'm spending this week with the two of you and getting you caught up on everything that has been happening with me on this side of the Vortex.

Except, the two of you already know what's going on over here. I know you do, because I know that you're watching over me and there are times that I am positive I can feel you.

I just checked in... I have six more days here before I can go back and pretend that I had such a wonderful week with the two of you.

It's getting harder and harder to lie to them, guys. It's getting more and more difficult to come up with reasons that you guys aren't insisting that my visits with you are longer. I was able to stave off their insistence that they visit you or you visit here by warning them how two versions of them in one place could cause a massive paradox. That has worked, and as of yet, Papa Cole hasn't realized that him coming to visit wouldn't cause a paradox.

I don't know what I'm going to do when he realizes that he can go back and forth without causing paradoxes with the timelines.

I am not looking forward to the day that I have to tell him the truth -- where I have to tell him that you guys are dead... especially you, Mom.

You should see him with this world's version of you. He's so protective -- so loving. You are his entire life, Mom, and I do not want to see that bleakness when he finds out that my version of you was killed by a demon. I think it would crush him.

I don't want to see the look on his face when he finds out that I've been lying to them for the last three years.

He's going to feel so angry and betrayed.

They're going to feel so hurt and betrayed.

I really miss you, guys. I miss you so much. There are times that I do want to tell Papa Cole about what happened and have him travel back in time with me and prevent both of your deaths. I know he would do it... his love for you isn't tied to just one reality. I believe he'd do it if I asked, because the idea of a world without you, Mom... I know the idea would hurt him.

Then, I remember that we're not supposed to frak with the timelines and with the past or the future. It's times like this -- when I miss you so much I can't stop myself from burying myself in a pillow and screaming and crying -- that I absolutely hate that rule.

The Elders that invented that rule must never have seen their parents die when they were too young to stop it... to save them.

They weren't the ones that had to deal with the loss, or have cried every night when they realized they'd never see them again.

I miss you guys so much, and I love you.

Your Daughter,
Pandora

I'm a sports star and a witch.

Okay, maybe that's too narrow of a perception.

Pandora Adrian Halliwell. Only child of Charmed One Phoebe Halliwell and all around athletic star Samuel Anders. I'm sixteen and a Sagittarius. I'm an A+ student and on the Varsity basketball team at my high school.

Oh, and I'm from an alternate universe.

Yes. You heard me right.

When I was six, I walked through a portal and met a younger version of my parents and my Uncle Cole. I liked it there and I loved all three of them. I went back to my own reality with good memories.

When I was twelve, my mother was killed by a demon. My father did his best to take care of me, but losing mom broke something inside of him and he went on a vigilante crusade. By the time I was thirteen, I had lost my father, too.

Instead of allowing myself to fall apart, I decided that I would do what my mother would have done -- what my cousins had done.

I found a way to re-open the original vortex and went back to the world where my parents and my uncle Cole were still alive. I was going to protect my mother and make sure that what happened in my world never happened here.

Of course, I couldn't just walk up to them and say, "Hi, it's Pandora. Other mom and Other dad died, so I came back here to protect you."

I didn't think that would go over too well. But I needed a reason to give them about why I was here and why I wasn't going to be forced to leave them and go back to my world this time.

Unbeknownst to him, Uncle Cole gave me the perfect alibi.

I just told them that my other parents wanted me to have the chance to get to know them and "Papa" Cole better. After all, in this universe, Mom and Cole are together, too, so I have two dads. They accepted this story and I've been here with them for just under three years now. Kept up with my sports both in school and out of it, and have definitely kept up with my spell work. I'm a telekinetic, and luckily I've had my cousins and Aunt Prue to work with on it. I also can use my telekinesis put up a shield -- which does come in handy sometimes.

I've had to keep up the appearance that everything is alright in my world and that I make regular visits to that reality. So, I get a hotel one weekend a month and hide out there -- letting them all believe that I'm off having a happy visit with my parents.

I'm not sure what I'm going to tell them all when they start asking why I haven't decided to go back home for longer stays, though.

This is my home and my family now, and I just have no idea how I could ever look at my mother and her sisters and tell them that in my world, she's dead. I can't do that to her. I couldn't stand to see the look on her face -- to say nothing of how Papa Cole and Dad would react. I lost my mother once... I couldn't bear to go through it again.

So, there you have it.

Pandora Halliwell. Time-displaced witch... and a liar.
