¤Chapter 1¤
Cole skimmed through the yellowed pages of the Book of Shadows, he was studying for a test on warlocks that he was having at Magic School. Cole had a mop of dark brown hair, almost black, and was about 5 foot 8. He wore a white t-shirt and a pair of dark jeans. He was, of course at his Aunt Piper's house... the Halliwell Manor, since the book never leaves there. Cole, his mom Paige, his dad Henry, and his two sisters, who are twins, Haley and Kairi, all lived in a house across the street. It was a nice white, two story manor... but he always felt more at home in the Halliwell Manor. He came to a page on Anton, a powerful warlock that the Charmed Ones had vanquished and read the script.
"Whatcha doin'?" Emily said coming in from the kitchen holding a shining apple. Emily's hair was pretty thing and dyed a dark red color, naturally brown. She was wearing a dark green Green Day shirt and a pair of pale, worn out blue jeans, she was about average height and a little chunky. Emily lived about a couple blocks away from both manors with her mom Phoebe, her dad Coop, and her two sisters, Mimi and Jenna.
"Studying..." Cole replied to his cousin, then he extended his hand and in a swirl of blue orbs Emily's apple appeared in Cole's hand. Cole quickly took a big bite out of the apple and returned to his book. Cole took witchcraft the most seriously out of all his cousins. He wanted to be the best at it, ever. When he was younger he did not like vanquishing demons if he had to, his whitelighter half made him a lover not a fighter. That did not last long though, one day... a warlock was after him when he was home alone... the lone warlock was wanting Cole's power of telekinesis. In the process of trying to get to Cole, his dog Mack heard the commotion and came running into the room to Cole's defense. Mack started to attack the angry warlock and the warlock plunged his athame into the stomach of Cole's dog... sadly killing it. Needless to say Cole vanquished the warlock and any other evil being to come into contact with him.
"No fair! I don't even have an active power!" Emily said with a grimace on her face. She had always been mad that she had the least powers and the were not very active! Her dad was a cupid, and she had not inherited any powers from him, as almost all her cousins have from their fathers. Emily stormed out of the room in a huff and up the stairs. She ran up to the guest room where her mom was on her laptop typing away. Emily fell down onto the bed making as much noise as she possibly could falling onto the mattress.
"What's wrong?" Emily's mom said, turning around in her chair.
"I want an active power..." Emily said huffing her voice out.
"Well honey... your powers just grew into telepathy..." Phoebe said but was cut off by Emily.
"One that can hurt a demon!"
"Let me tell you something you don't know about telepathy... It is probably one of the most powerful powers ever..."
"How can reading minds be harmful?"
"Let me finish... as I was saying, if you concentrate you can channel other peoples powers... you won't be as powerful or as good at it as those other people, but there are endless possibilities hun! Did I ever tell you about the telepath in Magic School that summoned Sleepy Hallow and was cutting off the teachers..."
"Yes mom... like ten times!" Emily said starting to smile.
"Ok honey... but keep practicing trying to channel someone's powers, even your cousin's powers will work as long as they don't figure out a way to block you," Phoebe smiled at her daughter.
"Okay, I love you mom."
Emily walked out of the room and her mom turned back to the computer. She walked slowly down the hall trying not to be heard and then crouched slowly down the stairs, stopping at the fourth step from the floor and sitting down. She smiled a little, thinking she was so sly. She watched Cole carefully, flipping the pages of the Book of Shadows.
Concentrate. Emily thought, hoping that this would work with every ounce of her heart.
She started to call for the book, "Book!" Emily said.
In a swirl of blue lights the ancient Book of Shadows flew halfway across the room and landed on the dining room table.
"Nice try... but I was better than that when I was two," Cole said with a slight laugh as he waved his hand and the book returned to him in the same swirl of blue lights in which it left his hands.
"Aren't you going to ask how I did it?" Emily asked.
"No! I've known all along that telepaths can channel others powers, I study... I just thought it might be better for your mom to tell you."
"Or maybe you just wanted to keep the active powers for you, Chris, and Wyatt!"
"Speaking of Chris and Wyatt, where are they?" Cole asked changing the subject quickly.
"They went clothes shopping with their sister, Leo, Piper and your mom, why?" Emily asked, walking a little closer to Cole.
"I kinda wanted to train with Wyatt, ya know... you can never be too ready for a demon," Cole replied.
"Well... why don't you train with me?" Emily asked, knowing what the answer would be.
"Your powers aren't very active," Cole said, feeling sorry after he saw the look on Emily's face.
"That's is because I haven't had the chance to train IT!" Emily said almost yelling.
"Fine, meet me down in the basement, I need a drink of water first," Cole said with a fake smile.
Emily walked into the kitchen and down the wooden steps into the dark basement, on her way flipping a switch to the lights. Years ago the basement was turned into a training room, with mats and padded walls. It was mostly Cole, Emily, Mimi, and Chris that used it, because Wyatt was too caught up in his personal life and Prue, Haley, Kairi, and Jenna were all too young to fight demons. Emily got to the end of the steps and walked to the middle of the mats pacing and waiting for Cole.
Kathunk, kathunk. Cole came galloping down the stairs smiling.
"Ready?" He asked with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
"You know it," Emily said smiling.
Cole flung his hand out and Emily went flying into a padded wall in the familiar blue lights, hitting the pads and falling to the ground. She decided quickly to tap into Cole's powers again.
"Cole!" she called waving her hand towards one of the walls, as she said this Cole flew a few feet and landed safely not hitting the wall. Cole smiled at Emily and in a flash of blue lights disappeared,.
"Hiya!" came a yell from behind Emily as Cole had orbed behind her, dropped to the ground, and kicked her feet out from under her. Emily had barely had any time to react to Cole's disappearing let alone get out of the way! Cole preceded to stamp his foot onto Emily's chest, about to declare victory. Emily concentrated one more time and orbed out from under Cole's foot, a few feet away... still laying on the ground. Emily hurriedly scrambled up, called Cole's name and telekineticly flung Cole into the closest wall, where he landed with a thud.
"I think I am getting the hang of this!" Emily said smirking down at Cole, but she spoke too soon. With a wave of his hand, Cole flung Emily into the wall he was sitting against as the blue orbs followed behind her. He jumped up out of breath and put his foot on Emily's chest once more.
"I believe I win," Cole said smirking annoyingly at Emily who was out of breath on the floor.
"Fine, now get off of me!" Emily said getting very agitated.
"I wouldn't start celebrating just yet..." an unknown voice came from behind Cole and Emily, the sinister sound of it made Emily shiver.
Cole swung around quickly to see a man in a black trench coat and a top hat standing there smirking at the two teenagers.
"Ahh!" Cole screamed flinging up his arms violently, as he did so his hands glowed blue and what looked like blue smoke and orbs were floating around them, Cole looked down and saw the energy pooling around his hands and instinctively tried to throw the energy at the man (as so many demons had done to him before). The ball of energy and orbs went flying through the air and looked like a blue ball of flame, it went hurtling into the enemy.
With a cry of pain the enemy made contact with the ball and went flying into the wall and exploded.
"What did you do?" Emily asked anxiously.
"I don't know... I think my powers are growing," Cole replied staring at his hands in awe.
"Do it again," Emily said.
Cole stared down at his hands, concentrating... nothing happened.
"I can't, but we have a bigger problem. We need to get your mom and tell her what happened then ID the demon."
"Okay, let's go," Emily turned and walked up the wooden stairs, which creaked with ever step. The cousins raced through the kitchen and into the dining room. Emily ran over to the staircase, with Cole lagging a little behind.
"Uhh!" Emily exclaimed as something magically threw her into the dining room table. Cole flung around again, another demon was there... this one a woman, in the same trench coat and top hat!
Chair. Cole thought as he sent a wooden chair flying into the woman. She let out yell as the chair hit her but she soon recovered and sent Cole flying back into a beige wall. She advanced on Cole quickly and Emily was just recovering from her fall.
"Hiya!" Emily yelled jump kicking the demon and then landing on the floor, the demon staggered back and then looked at Emily with that icy glare only a demon can pull off.
"You little witch!" the woman yelled in a hoarse voice as she extended her hand quickly and violently, and Emily went flying through the doorway and crashed into the front door, rattling it.
While the demon was dealing with Emily, Cole had got up and punched the woman. The woman kicked Cole harshly in the chest and then kicked his feet out from under him. Cole fell to the ground and opened his eyes, he saw the woman holding a black athame above him getting ready to plunge it into him. Within a split second of certain death he orbed behind the demon.
His hands glowed the same blue of smoke and orbs. He threw the energy at the unsuspecting woman and she went flying quickly back into a wall.
Upstairs, Phoebe heard a loud thud. I wonder what those kids are up to... she thought, getting up from her chair and sliding it under her desk. Phoebe walked briskly to the door and down the hallway anxious to see what they were doing. She walked halfway down the stairs and turned just in time to see a Magician fling Emily into a wall. Emily fell down to the ground with a big thud.
"Evil being in my sight, trench coat that is black as night, parlor tricks won't help you here, I vanquish you now... the light is near" Phoebe recited the spell to vanquish a Magician she had memorized from the Book of Shadows because so many had been attacking lately.
The woman blew up in black orbs and was no longer in the midst of the three Halliwells. Smoke arose from the ashes the Magician had made in her sudden combustion.
"Is everyone all right?" Phoebe asked, nervous for her daughter and nephews well being.
"Yea, I am fine," Emily said jumping to her feet and picking the portrait up that had fell down with her.
"F-igh-nn here," Cole said, sounding exhausted, hands on his knees, "But, what was that thing and what did it want?"
"It is a magician, I haven't really had time to figure out what they want yet, though... I wouldn't be surprised if it was your guys' powers though," Phoebe replied looking anxiously at Cole, "You sure you're okay, hun?"
"Yea..." He replied taking a seat on the floor, "that energy orb thing takes a lot out of me though."
"Energy orb thingy? Huh?" said Phoebe, her nose scrunched up in confusion, she walked the rest of the steps down the stairs to the younger Halliwells.
"Cole can do this new thing, it is like an energy ball, but kinda like blue fire? I don't know, I cannot really explain it," Emily informed her mother.
"Oh... well I have never really heard of that power... how strange, I will have to ask Leo about it for you," Phoebe told Cole. "In the meantime, I need you guys to come up to the attic with me for something."
Phoebe then turned on the spot and wove her hand up the stairs, signaling for the two cousins to follow her. The trudged up the wooden stairs and then to the attic, Phoebe flinging open the door.
"Now, where does Piper keep them these days..." Phoebe mumbled, partly to herself, getting down on her hands and knees in front of a mahogany chest.
"What are you lookin' for Aunt Phoebe?" Cole inquired.
"The crystals... so that we can–" Phoebe was cut off by a flash of blue lights and the oddly-shaped crystals appearing in front of Cole.
"See how helpful I can be?" Cole said smirking.
"Thank you!" Phoebe smiled, reaching her hands out in a child-like manner, "Now, I want each of us to take four of these, and if a magician attacks trap them with the crystals. Don't tell anyone else about us being attacked by the magicians though, especially Piper. She has enough to worry about these days, what with the restaurant not doing too well and everything with Wyatt spending less and less time with us."
"Okay, no problem," Emily said, smiling down at her mother who was on the ground dividing the crystals into three sacks.
