hello everyone

here's the sequel

comments are nice (characters are not mine...but the plot is)

Erik's Decision

"Who is it?" Erik asked placing salad on the table.

Helena looked at the Caller I.D. "It's Piper. Hello? No..Piper slow down. Now, what's going on? It's been what? Are you sure? Are they alive? Uh...I'll be there as soon as possible. We'll get them healed. Wait, where's Leo? A darklighter? Alright, we'll right there. Yes I promise."

"What happened?" Erik asked as Helena started to cry.

"Phoebe and Paige are dead and Leo is dying," Helena asked picking up Angelina.

"Anything else?" Erik asked.

"Yea," Helena said wiping the tears from her eyes. "The Book of Shadows is gone."

"What do you mean the Book of Shadows is gone?" Erik asked in panic.

"She just said that the Book was stolen and she needs someone to heal them," Helena said giving Angelina to Erik and running upstairs to pack their things.

"Wait, you're going now?" Erik asked. Helena stopped and looked at him with a hostile look as if ready to pounce on him for saying such a comment.

"Yes I'm going now," Helena said going back to packing her things, "they are my cousins I can't just let them die. What has gotten into you?"

"Power," Erik said. Helena stopped and looked into his eyes; she saw a blackness, a blackness that she would have preferred not to see.

"What has gotten into you?" Helena asked closing her suitcase and placing it on the ground. "Once we left Hogwarts and got married, you've been different and it's not good. Where was the man I fell in love with?"

"He's right in front of you," Erik said hugging Helena with Angelina in his arms. "Nothing has changed."

"No you're wrong," Helena said taking Angelina from Erik and picking up her bags. "Something has changed and I'm going to figure out what it is." She kissed her daughter and zoomed out of the room in a blink of an eye.

"Did you tell her?" a disembodied voice asked Erik.

"Not everything," Erik answered. The disembodied voice now developed a a skinny muscular tan body with long slender arms and legs. The woman had dark long brown flowing hair, she was wearing a golden crown, her clothes only consisted of a sheet that covered her breasts, her privates, and her butt and exposed her stomach, shoulders, legs, and all of her back. "Nice to see you actually have a body."

"I usually don't, but in this situation I was summoned to create one," the oracle said floating in the air and laying on the couch with her crystal ball. "My name is Tessa."

"You were summoned by whom?" Erik asked sitting on the opposite side of the couch.

"That's my business," Tessa said, "what exactly did you tell your wife?"

"I just told her I had more power," Erik said as Tessa slapped him in the back of the head. "Ow, what was that for?"

"That was for almost exposing us," Tessa said. "Now listen to me, you need to go to your wife and act like you still love her."

"I do love her," Erik said.

"The wizard inside you does," Tessa said getting up from the couch and facing Erik. "The Source needs to take over."

"I won't let him," Erik said getting up and smacked Tessa across the face sending her flying scross the room. "I love my family."

"You don't have a family," Tessa said.

"How dare you!" Erik yelled picking her up and squeezing her neck. "Don't insult my family."

"Fine," Tessa said under his pressure. "Remember why you took this job?"

"I wanted to save my family," Erik said letting go of Tessa and leaving her on the floor as he walked toward the phone. He picked up the phone and dialed Helena's cell phone number.

"Hello?"

"Hey sweetie, look I am coming to San Francisco and helping you and the Halliwell's."

"That's great. When are you coming?"

"I'll be there as soon as possible."

"Okay see you then. I love you."

"I love you too," Erik said hanging up on her.

"You can't expose us!" Tessa said in distress.

"I don't care," Erik said forming a fireball in her hand. "As long as I get to be with my family, there is no need for you." He threw the fireball and watched her burn in agony. He stared around the room and stared out the window. "I'm coming to save you guys."
