Chapter Three

"It's for your own safety." Andy said, bracing himself for a blow-up.

"Safety?" Miley repeated incredulously. "I'm perfectly safe where I am."

"Do you know the truth about who you are?" Prue asked.

"My Dad told me this afternoon."

"Then you should be able to understand why it's dangerous for you to stay here without protection. You're in constant danger because of who you are and what your blood linage is." Prue told her seriously.

"You've probably had demons spying on you since you were a little kid, waiting for you to find out so they can have the privilege of killing a Halliwell sister. Added to the fact that you probably have half of the underworld after you now, you're also defenceless because your powers are bound."

"I don't care! This is my home, this is my family and I'm not leaving just because people I've never me before think something bad could happen." Miley argued.

"We know something bad is going to happen soon if we don't do something to prevent it."

"Well whatever you decide to do, leave me out of it. Now goodnight!" Miley said, before turning on her heal and marching back upstairs, five pairs of eyes following her every step of the way.

The next morning on her way to school Miley was joined by Kyle and Andy who followed her right into the school grounds, not even bothering to be discreet about it. That was of course after she had blatantly ignored Prue and Jake who were sitting in the living room when she came downstairs for breakfast. By the time school let out Kyle and Andy had disappeared and were nowhere to be seen as she walked home with her two best friends who were commenting about her weird behaviour all day.

"They're demons." Were the words she was greeted with when she walked in the front door.

"And I'm half demon, so what's your point?" Miley shot back automatically, before pausing and turning and facing Prue. "Who are demons?"

"Lilly and Oliver!" The older witch replied. "Jake trailed you home under invisibility and one of his powers is sensing evil."

"Well until they try to kill me, they're just my best friends who are a little stupid at times." Miley sat down on the couch and started taking her homework out of her backpack. "And stop following me."

"We're not going to stop until you come with us so we know you're safe." Prue said, picking up Miley's math book and flipping through it. "And them attacking you may be sooner than you think."

"I don't think it's ever going to happen." Prue picked up Miley's sheet of math problems and stared at it for a few seconds.

"How do they expect a 14-year-old to be able to do all these?"

"With our minds." Miley frowned, snatching her homework back and taking her books upstairs to her room.

~~~~~The Power of Five~~~~~

After Jake had followed Miley into the house he went upstairs to get away from the intoxicating brunette.

"What are you doing here?" She asked a few minutes later, dropping her books on the end of her bed and sitting on the other end, staring at him.

"I figured you wouldn't need a guard of four people to watch you do your homework, so I came up here to chill." He lied, turning in her desk chair so that he was on it backwards, so she couldn't see the little problem he had been trying to will away.

"Yeah, well I don't need any guard to watch me do my homework, so why don't you run along and go film your T.V show?" Miley suggested glaring.

"We're on a two month break till next season starts filming." He shrugged.

"Well then go hang out with your friends or something and leave me alone." She snapped, standing and glaring as she walked over to her closet.

"They're busy." He said, watching carefully as she took a very revealing bikini out of her closet and started toward her esnuite bathroom. "Where are you going?"

"To change so I can go to the beach and relax – away from anything to do with magic." Miley answered, shutting her bathroom door behind her.

When she came out, Jake was sitting in the same spot looking at all the pictures of Miley with her friends and family that were scattered around her room, only now he was wearing a pair of board shorts and had a towel sitting in his lap.

"What are you doing?" Miley demanded up seeing his new attire.

"I'm not gonna let you go off by yourself when there are a bunch of demons running around after your head, two of which you seem to trust." Jake said, standing and holding his towel in front of him as Miley got hers and stalked out her bedroom door.

"I'm going to the beach." She told her Dad when she got downstairs.

"He probably won't come back unharmed."

"Have fun, and think about what they're saying." Robby replied as the two teenagers exited through the back door that led straight to the beach.

"Does he know what you wear at the beach?" Jake asked when he was sure they were out of earshot.

"Yes!" Miley muttered.

"Does he know how much it shows?"

"He hasn't complained yet." She said avoiding the question as best she could. "And keep your eyes to yourself."

Miley led the Jake to a deserted part of the beach where they couldn't even see anyone else, and she spread her towel out on the white sand and started to take her cover-up clothes off.

"Wow!" Jake whispered to himself, his eyes automatically scanning Miley's body, taking in everything he saw with great appreciation.

"I said to keep your eyes to yourself." Miley glared, disgusted, snapping Jake out of his ogling.

"My job is to watch you and make sure nothing bad happens to you." He said, trying to stop his eyes from wondering her body again.

Jake laid his towel next to Miley's and took his shirt off, lying next to her where she was on her back with her eyes shut, tanning.

"If you insist on staring at me non-stop, could at least wake me in half an hour?" She requested, turning her head slightly in Jakes direction, though not opening her eyes.

"Sure!" He agreed, propping himself up on one arm to get a better look at her figure again.

After ten minutes Jake lay back down and just stared at Miley's peaceful face, memorizing everything about her that he could.

After a while of silence Miley woke up from her light nap and saw her supposed 'Guard' asleep on his towel beside her.

"Wow!" Miley whispered, repeating Jake from earlier, as she looked over his impressive body, from his handsome face, to his hard and tan chest and abs, to another part of his anatomy that wasn't sleeping like the rest of him. She bit her bottom lip and unconsciously started to reach out to touch him in all his perfect ness. Just before her finger tips were about to graze across his chest she realized what she was doing and quickly pulled her hand back.

"Get a grip!" She muttered to herself, shaking her head.

Miley reached up behind her back to undo her bikini top to tan her back, before pausing and glancing at Jake to make sure he really was asleep. After making sure that he was, she quickly untied the knot and held the front of her bikini in place as she lay down on her stomach so she wouldn't get a tan line on her back that would be totally out of place.

Seeing as Jake was asleep and she was otherwise alone, Miley took the opportunity to do what her Dad had suggested and think about what she should do with her future.

To go learn magic? Or to stay with her family? They are the questions.

If she stayed with her Dad and brother, they would be in danger.

If she went to fulfil her magical destiny and be with her biological family, she'd be putting complete strangers in danger.

In the end she came up with more reasons to stay in Malibu than to go with her sister, the whitelighters and Jake, and yet she already knew deep down what she would decide in the end.
