I landed in front of the Book of Shadowes. "Power stipping potion...power stripping potion...where is it?!"

"I thought I heard a demon in the attic." I heard from the door way.

I jumped up and sighed in relief when I saw it was only my mom. "Mom, isn't there a power stripping potion somewhere in here?"

That got her attention as she hurried over to me. "Why do you need it?" she asked.

I shook my head. "I can't do it any more." I confessed. "I can't bear these powers any more. I just came to make the potion, then after I go back home, I'll drink it. Before Lovi knows it, I'm human."

"What happened?"

"I'm getting in trouble so much in school, I'm burning Lovi's mouth with boiling water, I'm turning Lovi's documents to ash, Lovi's co-workers are giving me wierd looks, and I'm comming home drenched in ice cold water. I'm hurting people, and I can't handle it any more. Where's the potion?"

My mom sighed as she hugged me while I cried on her shoulder. "_, we burned that potion years ago. I do know where the binding potion is, if you want that."

I nodded. "That good enough."

I watched as she brewed the potion, but right when she was pouring it in a cup, I felt a strong, magical pull. "Mom?" I gasped before I flared out and returned to the Italys' house, Romano, Veniciano, and England surrounding me. "What are you guys doing?!" I demanded as England restrained me and Romano and Veniciano looked at me with worry filled eyes. "What's going on?! Let me go!"

"I'm not going to do that, love." England strained to say as he pulled me back in the basement, and closed the door.

With the wave of his hand, the door glowed. I tried to open the door, but it zapped my hand. When I tried to flare out, my flames crashed the walls, windows, and door like a bouncy ball. I looked out the window in the door that led to the kitchen, the three men looking at me. Romano's eyes filled with guilt, Veniciano scrunched up in worry, and England stood strong, almost looking down at me. I glared at Romano. "You told him, didn't you?!" I yelled through the glass.

"I fucking had to!" he yelled back. "I couldn't let you get yourself in more fucking danger!"

I huffed in anger. "You BASTARD!" I screamed as I threw an energy ball at him, which bounced off the glass and back to me, tossing me across the room. I got up, shaking in fury, throwing ball after ball, some fire balls, others energy balls, but each one reflected all my anger into power. "You Fucking, Ass kissing, Shit spitting..." With each ball came an insult. They cracked the glass a little, but they all disinagrated before they could bounce back. Before I knew it, I collapsed on the concrete ground sobing.

Romano never left the basment door as he watched me with pitty and guilt filled eyes. "There." England sighed, dusting his hands. "That should keep her safe. No one gets in, she can't get out."

"How will she eat?" Veniciano asked.

The brit jumped as though he remembered something, then touched both the brothers, radiating his hands with a faint glow. "Now, only you two, and myself, can enter that room. Even if the door is left open, she still can't get out. The spell is connected to the thresh hold, not the door itself. We're also protected from her powers out here, but once you cross the thresh hold, you also cross the shield. She could hurt you as badly as she could if there were no boundries."

"And you're sure this is the best way?" Romano asked, still looking at me.

"Judging from what you told me, it's the only way." England explained. "Stripping her powers would make her more vonurable, and leaving her be would change nothing. Locking her away and waiting it out is the only way for her to survive."

That night, I laid in the cot, facing the blank wall, thinking of what happened. I then heard the door creek open. "..._...?" Romano called. I didn't face him, I couldn't. I heard him come down the wooden steps and place what sounded like a plate on the small table. "...I brought you some dinner...are you hungry?" I stayed perfectly still. There was no reason to move. "I'm only trying to protect you." he confessed. "How could you tell me that your life is in danger, and expect me not to try to save you?" he asked.

I heard him start to walk away as I sighed. I recited in the brit's voice, "Locking her away and waiting it out is the only way for her to survive." He turned to face me and I returned to my normal voice as I pushed my point across. "The only way this would blow over is if I died." He came back over to me.

When I felt his hand on my shoulder, I zipped around, held him by his collar, and had a fire ball ready to throw. After a second, I let go and he continued his way out while I returned to the cot. After a while, I looked over at the plate of pasta he brought down. In one swift motion, I threw an energy ball at the plate, and it shattered, causing the now blackened pasta to explode.

Time passed and, though I was still furious with him, Romano was the only one who came in and out of the basment while Veniciano stayed clear of the door at all costs. Soon, it was already Christmas eve, and I knew my mom would be really worried. I was afraid I might never get the chance to see her again. I looked out the window, seeing the house was full of people I reconized from Romano's meetings. The few people who leaned on the door to the basment got a little shock and carelessly moved away. I saw the Italys' out there, laughing, smiling, and drinking wine with their cookies. I didn't realize I stared until England stood right in my way, blocking my view on the kitchen. I sighed and returned to my cot, curious as to how my mom and sisters were today.

I walked back and forth. I knew there was something wrong. _ didn't even wait to get her potion, and I hadn't heard from her since. I hurried to the manner, where I knew I'd find exactly who I was looking for. "Paige!" I called. "Piper!" They came running/orbing at my call. "Something's wrong. I need to get to _, and I need you two to come with me. I need you, Paige, because I need to get there fast, and orbing is the fastest way. Piper, I need you so I could get in the house."

"Why not Leo orb you?" Paige asked.

"Because there's still Wyett and Chris." I answered. "Leo can take care of Wyett and Chris, Henry can watch Henry Jr. and the twins, and Coup is currently watching Prue and Penny. I also might need to fight my way in." They seemed to understand as they grabbed their coats and orbed to Rome, Italy.

I laid in the cot, trying to find something to pass the time, when suddenly, the whole house got dead silent. I got up and noticed everyone was frozen. "_!" I heard three singled out voices I reconized as my mother and aunts.
