Chapter Nine
"Maybe it's wrong?" Miley tried, reading her list of powers again with a frown.
"It was your blood, there's no way it could be wrong." Jake denied, flicking through The Great Big Book Of Everything to search for the terms on the list he hadn't heard of before.
"Maybe the potion is wrong then?" She tried again, not willing to admit these words described her. "Maybe we should try it on someone else?"
"Yeah, but who?" Paige asked, glancing around at her sisters and Jake for any volunteers.
"Jake!" Miley answered simply and the boys head shot up.
"Why me?" He demanded, his eyes wide at the thought.
"Because this thing was your idea." She said and he shook his head.
"But, if it is wrong, maybe you should use someone who only has one type of magial blood in them, 'cause that could be it." Jake argued desperately.
"Or, since you obviously have something to hide, you can do it and read what it says and just tell us if it's right or not, without us seeing what your big secret is?" Phoebe countered and Jake sighed, seeing no way out of this without revealing his secret.
"Give me the book!" He held out his hand and pushed the bigger one away as Miley handed over her former diary. He careful made a small cut on his forefinger and let three drops fall onto the blank pages after Miley's two pages.

Jake read each word carefully, his eyes widening a few times as the words sunk in and at the end he glance up at the siters who were all looking at him expectantly.
"Well?" Paige demanded impatiently.
"Most of it's right, but I've never heard of these different types of magic or anything and I don't know any of these families." He said, closing the book so Prue - who had suddenly appeared behind him - couldn't read his secret name.
"So then the thing is telling the truth about Miley?" Phoebe clarified and Jake nodded mutely.
"So, will this help me learn to control my powers?" Miley asked hopefully, glancing between her sisters and Jake.
"Now that we know what exactly we're working with and we actually have a few of those powers in the family." Prue nodded slowly, rising from where she was sitting on the arm of the armchair Paige was sitting in. "Let's go to the basement again."
Miley hesitantly stood and Jake quickly followed suit, moving beside her and taking her hand, recieving an odd look for the girl in question.
"To orb!" He said and she nodded silently, her deep brown eyes showed slight fear of the basement.
"With twenty-seven powers you we'd need to learn..." Piper trailed off as she did the math.
"1.28 everyday for 21 days!" Miley provided, turning all eyes to her and she blushed a little at the looks she got.
"You really are smart!" Phoebe muttered and Miley rolled her eyes just before Jake orbed her and Prue out of there and into the basement next door
"Are you supposed to get a tingly feeling in your stomach when you do that?" The teenager asked when they rematerialized in the concrete room.
"I don't know if you're supposed to, but I get it as well." Jake shrugged and the other three sister apeared before anyone could say anything else.
"What should we start with?" Piper asked, sitting on the lower steps of the stairway that led to the house.
"Why not orbing or one of those, since that seems to be the majority and it's pretty useful when running for your life?" Paige suggested with a shrug.
Two hours later Miley was able to disappear in a flash of flames and re-appear a few seconds later, a little smile on her lips and a long-
stemmed, purple flower in her hands.
"That should pretty much do it for the transport powers I'd imagine." Prue said and Piper, Phoebe and Paige nodded in agreement, whilst Jake texted on his phone and barely glanced up at the girl and Miley grinned, happy to have one less thing to worry about.
"What next?" She asked eagerly, wanting to get all of her powers down as soon as possible.
"How 'bout a break?" Piper laughed, stretching her tired muscles as she stood up and held out her hand for Phoebe who had taken up residence next to her on the stairs.

"Got you something!" Miley smiled shyly at Jake later that day, leaning on the doorframe to his bedroom on the second floor of 1327.
"What?" Jake jumped off of his bed, where he had been reading a magazine, and stood in front of her, a slight smile tugging at his features.
"A Tennessee Iris!" Miley pulled the purple flower from behind her back and handed it to him.
"Why thank-you!" Jake bowed to her formally, elicating a giggle from her.
"And Prue says the pizza is here!" Miley added before turning on her heel and walking down the stairs, infinately happier than the previous week and a half.
"Hey, I had some people I know do some resaerch and found out what Atmokinesis is." Jake anounced, walking down the stairs a few minutes later after making sure his flower was in a safe place that was also visible to him.
"Great! What is it?" Andy asked, pouring cokes for everyone.
"The ability to mentally control the weather, like creating a thunderstorm when you're sad and scared." Jake looked pointedly at Miley who got a confused look on her face.
"So the other day when I was scared of the storm because of what I remembered I was the one creating the storm because I was sad and scared?" Her brow furrowed as she tried to figure it out. "I was making myself feel that way by feeling that way?"
"I think so!" Jake nodded, scratching the back of his neck.
"I wanna learn to stop that one tomorrow!" She announced, the only reason she wasn't demanding tonight being because she was too exhausted from earlier.
"Just what we need; to confuse the poor weather person with a magical teenager." Prue muttered before taking a bite of her Meatlovers pizza.
"Or we could leave it and the next time I get upset cause an electrical storm?" Miley retorted, curling up on the couch next to Jake, already in her silky blue pajamas.
"Or we could do it tomorrow!"
Power of Five
"I miss you, I miss your smile, and I still shed a tear every once in a while. Even though it's different now, you're still here somehow. My heart won't let you go and I need you to know; I miss you. Sha la la la la, I miss you..." Miley sang softly, strumming her guitar sometime between late night and early morning, sadness overtaking her with the song she wrote when her mother died, rain falling lightly outside the house completely unknown to the girl on the inside.
"Are you okay?" Prue's voice came from her doorway and Miley abruptly stopped playing, looking up to see her new sister smiling sadly at the mouth of her new room.
"Fine!" She whispered shortly and Prue rolled her eyes.
"If you're so fine, why is it raining outside?" She asked, coming in and sitting on the end of the younger girls' bed.
"I don't control everything, that's natural rain." Miley replied defensively, setting her guitar down beside the her bed and drawing her knees up to her chest.
"It's okay to miss your family, Miley." Prue sighed, crossing her legs on the bedspread. "Actually, I'd think there was something wrong with you if you didn't!"
"It's just, everything's changed now, every second I spend with them
is putting them in danger and I just can't do that, I can't knowingly put them in harms way." Miley admitted, looking down at her hands that were playing with the edge of the bedspread. "But at the same time I can't live without them, I don't know what to do!"
"Hey, there's no reason you should have to live without them, you just need to learn to control your powers so you can see them in person and until then you have phones, e-mails, instant messaging, web chats and a million and a half other way to talk." Prue smiled a little, trying to give her hope.
"But what about the demons? You said before that demons are always trying to kill you right, and they'll try and kill me as well?" Miley asked desperately, hoping she would say no but knowing she wouldn't. "Well, what if they kill my family to get to me? What if they kill everyone I love just because I love them?"
"You've got to trust that we can protect them-"
"But for how long? Eventually when they don't attack you'll lighten up on watching them, then day-by-day you'll just stop all together and then that's when they'll attack and I'll lose the people I love the most in this world and it'll be my fault for being a witch or a whitelighter or whatever the heck I am." The teenager suddenly shouted, her blazing blue eyes so much like the sister sitting in front of her.
"Remember how when Lilly and Oliver attacked Andy and I were there straight away?" Prue asked and Miley nodded slowly, not understanding where this was going as Prue sood up. "We put a detecting alarm not only on the house but also the people in it. If anyone with bad intentions comes towards either of them Andy, Kyle and I will know and be at their side before anything can happen to them." She told her and started towards the door. "You should get some sleep, we don't want you passing out on us again tomorrow." She said before leaving and Miley nodded mutely again.
