Charmed
Chapter 1:
The First Loss.
I lay with my arm across my eyes, fully awake of course but shielding myself from the brilliant sun that shone brightly through the windows to my left. Even though the lace curtains it was bright. I waited a few seconds while I breathed in, taking in the glorious morning as I did almost every day of my existence. Then I remembered that I'd probably be vanquishing some sort of demon today and I groaned and rolled onto my side, hoping I could lay there and feel the suns heat, hot on my back for much longer.
And then I heard it.
"Oi, mister, move you're damn car!' Mrs. Jenkins across the road yelled... And if that didn't wake me up, a musical voice did.
"Good morning...," he ruffled voice came from my side. I felt his arms slide under my arms, wrapping around me and holding me closer to him. I smiled.
"It is," I agreed. "Was, until old Mr. Jenkins started screaming,"
"It's still a pretty peaceful morning." Leo said,
"Yeah, I guess it is. But I have no doubt it'll be ruined by a demon." I smiled as I grinned and rolled over to face him.
Leo's face was inches from mine. I grinned at his semi-long hair, messy in the early morning. I brushed my fingers through it, feeling the blonde hair with subtle blonde highlights. He still had his eyes closed,
"Who knows, maybe the boys will get into a fight this time instead of a demon?"
"For a change." I laughed and he rolled me over until I lay on top of him, I smiled into his faded green eyes. I leaned down and he leaned up, our lips meeting each other in the middle. His lips, as soft as always, caressed my own for a few minutes until he rolled me over again and he rolled next to me, his kissed moved to my neck and I laughed at the tickles and he joined it.
Then I heard it.
"Mommy!" Wyatt called.
"I'll get it," Leo whispered, kissing my forehead and getting out of bed. Walking out in his boxers and T-shirt.
"Make me breakfast in bed?" I called after him.
"You make me breakfast in bed!" he replied, laughing. I smiled and got up and walked out of the room and into the hall. Since both Phoebe and Paige had both moved out, Phoebe to live in a house with her new husband Coop and Paige to move into Henry's place, Leo turned the nursery into a closet again, and turned Phoebe's room into the nursery and Wyatt had his own room, Paige's old room. I walked into the nursery, and Chris was already up, sat there laughing. I heard Leo take Wyatt downstairs for breakfast.
I smiled and walked up to him, opened my arms and lifted him up. I spun on the spot but gasped.
A man wearing nothing but a black cloak, covering his entire body stood there, holding only what I could describe as a curved Machete. Suddenly blue orbs and bright light filled my vision and I stood in the kitchen, Leo smiling at me.
"Demon!" I said, he gasped and took Chris from me. I ran straight back into the hall, and despite only wearing PJ bottoms and tank top, when the Demon Blinked next to me I turned, spun on the spot and jabbed my foot onto his knee, he dropped down but his blade came up, missing my throat. I staggered back but then I was then kicked in the gut and I dropped to my knees. I heard Leo shout my name and I looked up. He rugby tackled the demon to the ground, knocking off his hood. The man had black hair, slick and smooth; his features could have been defined handsome if it weren't for that disgusting scar down the centre of his cheek, the shape of a cross.
My open hands came up in the air and I beckoned them into the diction of the demon. He gasped and looked at me and in only one second I watched as his entire body, starting from his chest. Engulfed in smoke and fire and he exploded outwards, leaving no remains behind.
I sighed and turned to Leo. He held me close. "That was the first demon we've had since the ultimate threat a year and half ago."
"Yeah, but you got to admit, mummy hasn't lost her touch."
The doorbell rang so I hurried in from the kitchen, I opened the doors and a wide grin crossed my face as my sisters stood in the door way. Phoebe stood on the right, her waist length light brown hair blowing gently in the wind, a giant smile on her lips and she walked into my arms, and we hugged tightly.
"Hey, am I going to get a hug or shall I get a coffee and wait for you to finish?" Paige's voice asked and when Phoebe and I pulled apart I looked at page and gasped.
"You died you're hair?" I exclaimed, pulling her into a tight hug. The last time I had seen Paige her hair had been brown, and fairly curly, she had died it red again, but a darker shade and it was also hanging down to her waist but was now straight.
"Yeah, you like?" she asked.
"Yeah, it suits you!" I told her, I closed the door behind them as they came in.
"Where are my two favourite nephews? Where are they?" Phoebe asked in a voice she used to talk to babies as she bent over and walked into the main room,
"The boy's are at school but I'm here!" Leo said and Phoebe straightened up and smiled.
"I suppose you'll do, come here." she said, they hugged and Paige walked over and also got a hug. I put my hands on my waist and smiled. It was like old times. I smiled and they hurried back to me.
"So, the demons are attacking again?" Paige asked, looking at the Book of Shadows that I had put on the dining table. The book had gotten so big, it still amazed me. We flipped through the pages and went back to our old routine. Searching for what the demon looked like, maybe they were in here yet we had never crossed him. Or maybe he was a random lower-level, someone sent him maybe.
"Piper?" Leo called from upstairs.
"One sec!" I yelled back,
"You two go through again, if there is defiantly no mention of the cross as a scar, maybe a cult, or an ancient symbol other than just a cross. I already asked Leo, he doesn't know. Be right back." I told them, turning and hurrying upstairs. The moment I walked into the attic I gasped, a man wearing the same dark cloak as the one before stood behind Leo, holding a blade to his throat.
"Paige! Phoebe!" I shouted and I went to run at the man but two other's appeared in a cloud of smoke, and grabbed my arms, holding me back. Just as my sisters ran through the doors, I broke free. Phoebe jumped into the air, levitating and kicking at the sane time rocketing one of the hooded figures across the attic.
The other turned and threw an energy ball, "Energy ball!" Paige called; the ball turned into orbs and flew back into the sender. I turned and the hood holding Leo was retreating. But then I noticed his hand come up, about to touch his scar, probably a way to call for help. Leo spun then, ducked under the knife and threw his hands straight at the Hood. Electricity bolts threw out of Leo's palms, and hit the man, he flew up and hit the ceiling but before Leo could finish him he teleported out.
I turned back to my sisters. When suddenly Paige and Phoebe both called out, and I ducked. I dropped down, watching an energy ball fly over my head. Just as I looked up I saw Paige duck out of the way, she looked at the ball as it hit the wall, sighed, thankful she had missed it.
But then another Energy ball hit her straight in the chest, and Paige was nothing but dust on the attic floor.
"No! Paige!" I screamed, getting to my feet. I ran towards where she once stood, tears already running down my eyes but the next thing I knew I was on the floor. Or so I thought the floor. It was comfortable my eyes were closed and I could hear birds chirping.
"Bad dream?" Leo asked I got up; my eyes were blurry with tears. It was morning; it must have been a dream. But it was so real.
"Um, I guess so. Um, a demon attacked and then when Paige and Phoebe came over, a demon killed Paige."
"It's okay, honey, a demon hasn't attacked in a year and half." he said, kissing me on the head.
Suddenly I heard "Oi, mister, move you're damn car!'
