PART ONE HERE 

“You’re not real.” Pan said repeatedly as she continued to stand in the attic of the Halliwell Manor watching an illusion of her brother Paul lying on the floor covered in blood and dying from the knife launched in his stomach.

“Why aren’t you saving me?” Paul asked her.

“Oh, I intend on saving my brother but the real one and that’s not you.” Pan replied before raising her hand and exploding her fake brother making Barba shimmer back into the attic.

“So, maybe not every one of you is completely abysmal.” Barba told her.

“Yeah it’s time we bring this freak show to an end.” Pan said while raising her hands and freezing the new demon of fear before running out of the attic and shouting. “Paul, Drake.”

“The worst thing isn’t you lying to me for all this time the worst part is you thought you had the right to deny my true destiny.” Drake told Paul as his father lay on the floor of the upstairs hallway.

“Drake this isn’t you you’re not evil.” Paul replied as he slowly rose to his feet.

“I’m sure you said the same thing to my mother.” Drake laughed wickedly.

“Your mother gave up her humanity Drake you still have yours.” Paul pleaded with his son only for Drake to summon a fireball above his hand and sending it flying towards Paul, hitting him and launching him across the hallway his body bouncing off a nearby wall before crashing onto the floor.

“Yeah humanity is overrated I’m all demon now.” Drake responded.

“Drake you’re my son and I love you.” Paul admitted to him.

“Then you deserve to…” Drake began to say before he was suddenly exploded as Pan walked into the hallway from the direction of the attic stairs.

“No!” A broken Paul screamed as he fell to his knees, completely devastated to see his son die before his eyes.

“Paul it’s okay none of this was real.” Pan said to her brother as she walked over to him and knelled to hug him. “This was all Barba.”

“This wasn’t supposed to happen he was supposed to be safe.” Paul cried before being slapped by his younger sister.

“Drake’s still bloody alive.” Pan snapped as she rose to her feet. “Now get your ass up and help me save him before he really does wind up dead.”

Quinn woke up in the dining area of the Halliwell Manor to find the place up in flames as he quickly rose to his feet he noticed Drake huddled up in a corner of the room watching the flames engulf the house with tears in his eyes as he sat frozen by his fear once again as his hair began going grey.

“Drake you need to face your fear or it’s literally going to kill you.” Quinn told him as he walked over to Drake and pulled him up, so he was standing.

“I can’t I’m not strong enough.” Drake cried.

“Drake you’re the bad-ass Halliwell hybrid a charmed one and even with all the powers stripped away you’re one of the strongest people I’ve ever met.” Quinn said urgently trying to make Drake act. “You’ve already survived this one.”

“I shouldn’t have survived I should’ve died with them.” Drake sobbed as the fire continued to claim the dining area of the Halliwell Manor quickly spreading into other rooms.

“You survived for a reason Drake you didn’t die that day for a reason.” Quinn told him. “Face your fears and stop letting that day destroy you over and over again.”

“Water!” Drake shouted while waving his hand making large quantities of water rain down in multiple rooms within the Halliwell Manor leaving both him and his white lighter soaked.

“I was expecting you to just blink the fire away not flood the house, but I suppose it worked.” Quinn laughed as Drake looked at him with admiration in his eyes.

“Thank you.” Drake replied sincerely. “Thank you for always being there even when I act like I don’t want you around and thank you for continuing to break through my icy exterior.”

“You’re more like lukewarm water than ice.” Quinn joked as the two found themselves in each other’s eyes.

“Quinn…” Drake began to say before Pan and Paul walked into the dining area shocked to see everything flooded.

“Drake you’re okay thank god.” Paul said while rushing over to hug him, relieved to see his secret son safe.

“What the hell happened to our house?” Pan asked in horror looking around at her water damaged home.

“I may or may not have taken up water sports.” Drake joked as he, Paul and Quinn both laughed while Pan remained unamused by the state of the family home.

“Let the object of objection become but a dream as I cause this scene to become unseen.” Paul chanted as he broke off his hug with Drake, as several rooms in the Halliwell Manor were covered in white orbs before the Halliwell Manor was completely restored like nothing had happened to it.

“Not too bad for the first round.” Barba said after shimmering into the room before beginning to wave her hand.

“Hand!” Drake shouted while holding out his own hand blinking Barba’s hand straight off her wrist before the hand blinked back into existence mid-air before hitting against a wall and falling to the ground, blood from the injury spreading everywhere.

“Let’s get this over with already.” Paul said in between Barba’s screams while he, Pan and Drake walked over to each other and held hands.

“The power of three will set us free.” The charmed ones chanted as Barba began to burst into flames and screaming in pain before exploding in front of their eyes.

Jake Morgan walked into the visiting room within the prison he was being held in only to be left shocked to see Drake sitting on the other side of the glass waiting for him. After a second of consideration he walked over and sat down opposite his first love hesitating once more before picking up the phone.

“Thanks for agreeing to see me.” Drake said after picking up the phone on his side.

“It’s not like I have any choice now that you can clearly get into my cell anytime you want.” Jake replied. “What even happened the other day, why are you still gunning for me after all these years?”

“I only came here to apologize because I never should’ve attacked you but don’t try and play victim after all you’ve done to me.” Drake snapped at him.

“Drake why won’t you believe me when I say I never killed your parents.” Jake said with hurt in his voice. “I’ve been in here for years for a crime I never committed.”

“Jake your own sister handed you over to the police your own father doesn’t even believe your innocent why can’t you just admit the truth.” Drake replied to him. “I deserve that at the very least, I loved you so much and you took everything from me.”

“Drake I loved you too and I admit I may not have been the best boyfriend, but never would I ever kill someone especially not your parents.” Jake admitted to him, hoping Drake would finally believe him.

“Lacey saw you Jake she was the witness.” Drake responded as tears formed in his eyes. “I believe my best-friend she’d never lie to me.”

“She’s not my sister anymore Drake and she’s never been a friend to you.” Jake told him.

“Don’t you dare come for her,” Drake snapped at him once more. “She’s been by my side through everything and you may not claim her as a sister but she’s my sister and always has been.”

“I gave up on you believing me a long time ago Drake,” Jake said as his voice began to break. “You were the love of my life and that love is what wound me up here please don’t visit me again.”

“Are you still wanting to blow me up or am I safe to be here right now?” Lacey asked as she walked into P3 to see Pan stood behind the bar in an empty club.

“I’m sorry about that I really am but I think it’s wise if we just left each other alone from now on.” Pan suggested as Lacey walked over to the bar.

“The spell that was cast on me made me a guardian or something like that.” Lacey admitted to the Halliwell witch. “I have been able to say anything because of the spell which forces me to put Drake’s needs before everyone else and I mean everyone and the only reason I can reveal this to you now is because I genuinely believe he’s safest as a charmed one.”

“Okay so who cast the spell on you?” Pan questioned the detective.

“Your mother she cast this spell on me when Drake and I were in high school fearing that a familial may have alarmed the elders too much.” Lacey revealed. “She wanted to know he had protection and who better than a detective’s daughter.”

“And your brother...” Pan began to ask.

“He’s innocent you can’t begin to understand how hard I fought against this bloody spell to not turn him in, but I had no other choice.” Lacey told her as tears began forming in her eyes. “I just wasn’t strong enough to break this bloody spell.”

“So, you’ve been forced to protect Drake no matter the sacrifice for your entire adult life.” Pan replied in shock.

“Yeah,” Lacey cried. “Except I can’t even do that right because I failed today, and I think I’m going to fail when his mother comes back for him.”

“Drake’s mother hasn’t been seen in years Lacey in fact most people believe she’s dead I don’t think she’ll ever come back for him.” Pan revealed to her.

“Your mother was convinced she would she believed sooner or later she’d come back for him because she never wanted to give him up.” Lacey said to Pan.

“Lacey I’m so sorry I’ve been such a bitch to you.” Pan apologized. “I’m going to stop at nothing to break this spell for you so you can finally get your life back for yourself.”

“Is that a smile I see on your face Paul Halliwell?” Quinn asked after orbing into the kitchen of the Halliwell Manor to find Paul busy cooking away to himself with a large smile across his face. “I was beginning to think you ran out of smiles.”

“Drake’s decided to move in so I’m cooking a family dinner.” Paul replied to his white lighter. “To be fair he didn’t have much choice considering his apartment building burned down but I’m taking this as a win.”

“That’s great news.” Quinn said sincerely. “I’ll leave you all to it.”

“Quinn your family too and consider neither Pan or Drake are here right now I’d appreciate you helping me out.” Paul told him making Quinn light up by his words.

“God you two are so on and off it’s beginning to get confusing.” Drake admitted as he walked into P3 to find Lacey and Pan making out in a booth.

“Drake,” Lacey replied as her and Pan broke off their passionate embrace and stood up to face Drake. “How are you feeling now?”

“I was left more confused than ever before, so I paid a visit to your brother.” Drake revealed to a stunned Lacey and Pan.

“Why would you decide to visit Jake after all these years?” Lacey asked, scared of the answer.

“He told me that you framed him for the fire.” Drake scoffed before instantly noticing the guilt displayed on both Lacey and Pan’s faces. “Oh my god he was telling the truth, wasn’t he?”

“Drake she had no other choice.” Pan said, defending Lacey.

“Home!” Drake shouted waving his hand at Pan making her blink out of P3 so he could focus his attention to Lacey. “Lacey you’re supposed to be my best friend how could you lie to me all these years and don’t bother changing the subject by pretending to be shocked by what I just did because we both know you clearly know more than me.”

“I had no other choice Drake,” Lacey admitted as tears began forming in her eyes. “I was just trying to protect you like I’ve always done.”

“My parents are dead and the man I loved was framed by you his own sister.” Drake shouted at his now former friend. “How is anything you did protecting me?”

“Because Drake the truth is so much worse.” Lacey cried.

“Tell me the god damn truth.” Drake snapped before a fireball suddenly appeared above his hand for a moment before disappearing once again leaving the Halliwell hybrid stunned as he realized the truth for himself. “It was me.”

Pan blinked into the dining room of the Halliwell Manor confused for a moment before walking into the kitchen to find Paul and Quinn cooking dinner together.

“You’re letting somebody help you make dinner?” Pan asked Paul. “What’s the special occasion?”

“Drake’s finally agreed to moving in.” Paul said with a sense of excitement that instantly made Pan feel guilty.

“I don’t think that’s happening now sweetie.” Pan revealed to Paul as she walked over to him and Quinn.

“Why not?” Quinn asked before Paul had the chance.

“Lacey and Drake are having the whole she’s been under a spell conversation as we speak.” Pan admitted reluctantly.

“Oh, I see.” A clearly gutted Paul replied. “That’s probably never going to end well.”

“So, if Drake and Lacey are talking it out does that mean we’ve worked out who cast the spell on Drake’s best friend?” Quinn asked Pan.

“Our mother.” Pan revealed while looking at a stunned Paul.

“My entire existence has been one lie after another.” Drake said completely stunned as him and Lacey remained standing in an otherwise empty P3.

“Drake that’s not true.” Lacey replied to him.

“I killed my own parents.” Drake cried. “I’m just as bad as the demons I’ve been vanquishing.”

“That’s not true Drake you’re a good person.” Lacey tried to reassure her friend.

“Like I’d ever believe a single word that comes out your mouth again.” Drake revealed before blinking away out of sight.

“This family has to stop lying all the bloody time because that’s the only thing that is really killing us not the demons.” Paul said as he and Pan stood behind the book of shadows once more in the attic of their family home before beginning to chant. “Hear these words hear my cry spirit from the other side. Come to me I summon thee cross now the great divide.”

“It’s so great to see you both again.” Melinda said after appearing non-corporeal in series of white orbs.

“Yeah this isn’t going to be some happy family reunion you know damn fine why you’re here mother.” Pan snapped at her. “Tell me right now why you made Lacey your magical lapdog without telling any of us.”

“I know things are difficult right now but please don’t speak to me like that Pan.” Melinda replied to her daughter. “I’m still your mother.”

“Did you or did you not know where my son was this entire time?” Paul asked with a sense of fury in his voice.

“Yes,” Melinda admitted reluctantly. “I was only taking steps to make sure my grandchild was safe.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Paul asked her.

“I was so scared you’d try and make contact with him because I know how hard it was for you to give him up.” Melinda revealed to her son.

“He’s my son if anything deserved to know he was okay it should’ve been me.” Paul said with fury.

“I did what I did to try and protect everyone.” Melinda revealed as tears began forming in her eyes. “Drake needed to be as far away from us all to stay safe, I just couldn’t resist finding some way of seeing him grow up.”

“I wanted to see him grow up you took that choice from me!” Paul shouted at his mother.

“Just tell me how to break the spell on Lacey.” Pan said while rolling her eyes at her mother.

“I’m not sure entirely I’ve never had to break it before.” Melinda admitted making her children even angrier with her. “It was never meant to be broken I wanted to keep him away from all this.”

“Well considering the charmed ones needed to be restored he was always going to get this life.” Paul replied. “All you did was steal the chance of me being a father.”

“I watched almost all of my family die from this so-called legacy and I was determined to protect my children from this curse.” Melinda cried. “I never wanted this life for any of you and I tried everything to save you, but it was all in vain because Drake’s mother has become the source of all evil.”

Drake walked down a hotel hallway before stopping at a door and knocking on it only for Ash to open it looking delighted to see the Halliwell hybrid.

“I must admit I wasn’t expecting to see you so soon.” Ash said to him.

“Well if you don’t want to let me in, I can always go elsewhere.” Drake replied.

“Like I’d ever refuse your company Drake Black.” Ash responded with a flirtatious smile as Drake walked into his hotel room.

“I’ve been thinking over what you said, and I realized I’ve only been a witch for a short time, but I’ve been a demon all my life.” Drake admitted as Ash closed his hotel room door.

“Does this mean your considering to finally embrace your demonic side?” Ash asked him.

“It means I’m done being lied to so start telling me the truth about you before I send you straight to hell.” Drake snapped at his demonic one-night stand before the source of all evil appeared into the hotel room within a burst of flames.

“You know you get your fiery nature from your mother’s side of the family.” She said to the Halliwell hybrid.

“Who the hell are you?” Drake asked, confused by the latest demon’s arrival.

“In the Underworld I’m called Queen.” The Source replied with a sinister smirk. “But you my darling boy can call me mother.”

Charmed Confession #2

Barbas was always my favorite demon. I wish they had brought him back more. I think it would show that sometimes your greatest fear will change or not and that new fears may come or go.

Even though in the episode pictured above Paige conquers her fear I still feel like she didn't really get over it or they could have gone more in depth with it. 

I know there are some people who feel he was in the show too often but I would have been fine if he had been in more often. The sisters fears made them more vulnerable, that even though they had powers they weren't invincible. Showing they had fears made them human.
