Charmed
Chapter 6:
The Battle
Suddenly I felt a heavy booming inside my ears, like I was having a migraine but a hundred times worse, the other's looked as if they felt the pain as well. My eyes blurred, I could hear the clock striking twelve over and over again behind the heavy blunt force in my mind.
Suddenly my vision vanished and I was flooded with other images, I realised not long later they were the memoires of the first day the attack with the Absorbers happened.
The day I had caused this time-loop, the day I had forgotten.
I had the memories of the attack; I watched them all die again, Phoebe, Paige, Billie, Leo. I remember running into the attic, crying at the horror I had witnessed and hurrying towards the book of shadows. I remember finding the spell, casting it and then it going all fuzzy.
"Piper?" Leo asked, he was there, holding me in his arms, I realised I was back to the present, my sisters and Billie stood watching.
"I-I'm okay!" I said, getting to my feet.
"The Time-loop, was it broken? Do you remember?" I asked, they all nodded, I looked up at the clock.
Five minutes past twelve.
I smiled but then realised the next day had begun, and the Absorbers would be here soon.
"Get ready, I doubt the Absorbers are going to wait a while to attack, they'll want to kill us ASAP." I told them, they nodded. We each held the potions.
"I have an idea." Paige said, she lifted her hand and moved it in a circular motion around the room. "Crystals, Circle." and the white crystals ordered to their allotted places. It was wide enough; anyone who shimmered in would be trapped.
"Who said we weren't already here?" a dark voice whispered from the corner behind us, and out of thin air, an Absorber appeared. I thrust my hands at him, and he exploded, but around the room, on the outside of the crystals, Absorbers walked out of the air, as if hidden in the shadows the entire time.
Paige threw the potion, but an Absorber caught in and threw it to the side, it slid under the table. I turned and jumped into the air, slamming my boot into the Absorbers neck; he chocked and called out, as he fell back into his friend.
Leo shot lightning bolts out of his hand, the cracking bolts hoisted two Absorbers in the air, they screamed before exploding into nothing.
Phoebe screamed, levitated in the air and swung, she kicked another across the room, dodging an energy ball as she did so. Paige orbed all around the room, physically hitting and also orbing objects straight into the enemy.
Billie threw things with a wave of a hand, or a blink of her eyes, she would drain life out of one of them, and throw it into another, causing the other to explode.
We were doing well. Then I realised the potion was close. I dived along the floor, reached out but another was there.
I realised it was the leader, the one we had spoken to before.
The most powerful.
He stomped down on my hand and I heard the crack before I felt the pain, he had definitely broken my knuckles. With my good hand I grabbed his leg, and pulled, he fell down and I rolled on top of him, I tried to blow him up, even strangle with him if I had to but his own hands came up on my face, and his thumbs found my eyes.
I knew that if even just for a second, he dug down, I would be overwhelm with pain, and blood and I would lose.
So I screamed and threw my head up, slamming my forehead against his and his own hands against his face, busting his nose. A female Absorber grabbed me by the hair and yanked, but I watched Billie run by, a blade in her hand, and she plunged it straight into the chest of the woman, who exploded instantly,
I could feel the flames of her body not inches from my face.
"No!" I heard Leo scream, he ran forward, jumped through the air in a stream of orbs and crashed into the leader, he landed with him on the floor, I readied myself, and shouted out
"Demon of fear, demon of night, I banish you with a ray of light."
"Return to the darkness below, from whence you came, never able to return again."
Out of my stretched my hand, a long beam of white light flew forward, the light hit both the Absorber and Leo, they both looked up,
Then I threw the potion.
The Absorber spun, moved Leo's arm around, and Leo gasped.
The potion, more powerful that many we have made, hit Leo in the chest.
Leo was on fire.
Leo was ash.
Leo was gone.
