Diclaimer: I only uploaded this story today, if you think that between the first disclaimer and this that I somehow magically obtained the rights to Charmed, I'd say you very well might be mentally unstable.
Author's Note: Thank-you to my two reviewers, this chapter goes out to you for giving me the motivation to post this chapter this very same night. Please read and enjoy. Feel free to review.
Interrupted Explanations
The two had orbed in at exactly the same time. Chris's expression was pretty blank, waiting to be written on as he gained a deeper comprehension of the situation at hand. Wyatt however, was frowning, clearly perturbed at having to cut his date with Stacey short. Together the two shot questioning looks towards the young woman in front of them. Wyatt's was more on an ominous glare.
"Good, you're
here. I wasn't sure you'd actually show up." It was their
cousin Penelope (Penny) Matthews-Mitchell, named for their
great-grandmother.
"What did you need us
for Pen?" Chris questioned, his interest peaked.
"Yes, Penelope,
what did you need our 'assistance' with that was so damned
important?" Wyatt asked, a twinge of ice evident in his voice.
Penny visibly flinched; she loathed to be addressed by her full name,
most especially by Wyatt. Wyatt only used Penelope when he was either
exasperated or furious with her, which had only been about two other
times in her life. It goes without say though too, that Wyatt was
incredibly intimidating. As he stood at 6'4, he easily towered over
the eighteen year old.
Chris couldn't stand the tension. He longed for nothing more than to end the staring match that had broken out between Wyatt and Pen. "So uh, Pen, about why you called us here…. Why did you call us here?" He interjected, effectively diverting their stony glares from each other to upon himself. Penny smiled in spite of herself, only Chris could get away with calling her 'Pen'.
"Well you see-" she didn't get to finish that statement because just then a demon appeared, energy ball in hand. Chris, being the first to notice, tackled Penny to the ground and sent the energy ball flying into the nearest tree with a swift wave of his hand. Wyatt, momentarily forgetting his anger, raised his hands and the demon was incinerated. If they thought they were in the clear, they had yet to learn that that was only the beginning.
