Prue Halliwell sighed as she glanced at her watch. It was only 2:15 and yet
she felt like she had been enduring English class for years. She slouched
in her chair and stared aimlessly out the second-storey class window.
Suddenly she let out a little gasp and straightened up in her chair.
Outside the window her older brother Chris was levitating and pointing
frantically at her then at some place behind her. Stunned by her usual
careful brother so openly practising his magic all Prue could do was stare
while her brother anxiously pointed behind her. Turning she was confronted
with a black demon. It had a waxy body and wore no clothes. Her eyes
widened as it finally opened what she could only guess were its eyes which
were a bright red colour. It extended one of its six claws towards her and
she felt a sharp pain in her head. Leaning her head to one side and
gritting her teeth she thrust her right hand towards the demon sending a
small ball of fire. The demon staggered backwards and let its claw droop
which relieved the pain in her head enough that Prue stood and allowed her
body to levitate itself to a position where she was able to send the demon
flying with a side kick. Lowering herself back to the ground she gestured
with her hands and watched as the demon jerked itself from side to side and
let out a bellow of pain as it burst into flames.
"Holy shit. I can't get a day off can I?"
Slowly she turned to face the class and was relieved to find that they were all frozen in position. Explaining a waxy demon would not be an easy thing and the cleaners were just dying to have a chance to take away her magic.
"Chris! Get your but IN here"
Magical blue swirls appeared as her brother orbed into the classroom, "Are you okay. Geez took you a while to figure out what I was saying. He could have killed ya!"
Prue stared silently at her 16-year-old brother. Just because of a two-year age difference he really thought he could boss her around. What a nerve.
"Well why didn't you just freeze the room, orb in and actually tell me, rather than waving like a bloody mad man. I can't read your mind. Who was that demon anyway?"
"I have no idea. He well.... it attacked me in French but as soon as I flung him into the wall he shimmered out. Reckon he was after Wyatt?"
"Dunno, maybe, I mean he's been obsessed with demon hunting lately. Go and see if he's all right coz your freeze will run out soon and I'm really not in the mood to erase any memories. I'll meet you the two at the bus stop."
"Do you really think its safe to split up? I mean he's obviously after one of us and isn't it safer if we stay together?"
"Probably but I can't just disappear from English. Remember exposure risk. I'll meet you there and we'll all be fine. I mean I was able to blow that one up and you can orb if another one tries to get you. As for Wyatt well he could probably shred that thing into itsy bitsy pieces just for the fun of it. Go warn him though."
"Yeah...ok " Chris hesitantly agreed looking uncertainly at her. Then finally he orbed out leaving Prue looking wistfully at her classmates. What she would give to be like them no bloody demons after her or overprotective families. She sighed as she sank back to her seat and with a quick twist of her wrist the whole room unfroze and Miss Chaffer continued her speech. Then again what could possibly be better than her powers. She smiled as she slunk lower in her chair.
