The Witches v. The Warlocks

"You say war?" Dumbledore asked as Helena stood by an open window watching the weather change from a nice spring day to the darkest of days.

"Yes, I had a premonition," Helena said still staring out of the window.

"When is this war supposed to happen?"

"I'm not sure, but whenever it is we have to be ready for it," Helena said suddenly hearing a loud THUMP from a back room in Dumbledore's office. "What was that?"

"Nothing my dear," Dumbledore said as Helena ran up the stairs as fast as she could and stared at the dead headmaster. She looke back down to where "Dumbledore" was sitting and found Cole sitting there instead.

"What do you want?" Helena asked.

Cole picked her up by the neck and threw her against a stone pillar. "I want you all dead. Except for Phoebe of course. She'll come back as my queen."

"She'll never go back to you," Helena said through a bloody mouth, "she hates you." Cole picked Helena up again and threw her out the window, but she grabbed onto broken glass, piercing the palms of her hands, in order to stay close to the castle.

"I'll make her come back to me," Cole said sliding Helena's hands off of the glass causing half her hands to split in half. As blood poured over the window sill, Cole said, "why are you so determined to defeat me? You know nothing about me."

"I know as much as the sisters do," Helena said as Cole backed away, "I know everything; what happened to Phoebe, what HELL you put her through. EVERYTHING. And teaming up with Voldemort will only weaken your power."

"How do you know?" Cole asked sliding her hands off more.

After screaming, Helena responded with, "I have the same power as Phoebe. I tapped into her mind and saw the years of anguish you put her through and Voldemort will only add to that."

"And you know Voldemort better?" Cole asked.

"Of course," Helena said trying not to look down toward the ground.

"Well did you know he was a former Source?" Cole asked as Helena's face went pale. "Bet you didn't know that little bit. We share similar powers since we are both former Sources ourselves. You can't stop us. You have no power anymore." Cole smiled and took ahold of Helena's neck, lifting her off of the glass and dangling her over thousands of feet. "Too bad you're going to die before you get to stop us." And with that, Cole released his grip and she fell to her death.

"Where is Helena?" asked an anxious student.

"I don't know, she was supposed to be here by now," Erik said as he paced the room worried something bad happened to his girlfriend, but just then the students saw a blue light and in dropped Helena, bruised and broken, bloody and discombobulated. Erik went over to his girl and helped her to her feet. "What the hell happened? What did Dumbledore say?"

"Dumbledore's dead," Helena said as the students went into an uproar. "Cole posed as Dumbledore and he dropped me from his office."

"How are you alive?" Erik asked

"I'm not sure actually," Helena said, "I just wished that I was inside the castle and here I am."

"But you orbed," Erik said.

"How can I orb?" Helena asked confused.

"I don't know, but we need to get you healed some way," Erik said, "Leo doesn't have his powers anymore. Don't ask I don't know how, but he doesn't. Wait, what's happening?" Helena had started to glow and her body was beginning to heal; every bruise was going away, every bone broken, and her split hands were beginning to repair themselves. "I guess you can heal too."

"How am I receiving all these powers?" Helena asked thinking about what her mother did. She nodded towards Erik which meant that Erik had some big part in all this, but what?

"People are dying out here!" a student yelled from the hallway. They ran out and they saw the worst battle scene possible; Voldemort and Cole were picking off students one by one without even giving them a chance to prove themselves.

"What do I do?" Helena asked suddenly very frightened.

"You do what you think is right," Erik said running out there and bringing out his wand.

"What is this?" Cole asked almost humorously, "a mere boy trying to be an adult? Go home son, it's not worth losing your life over."

"I don't have a life anymore," Erik said blasting Cole off his feet and ontop of several other students, then Erik turned and faced Voldemort who only laughed.

"Do you think that you can defeat me on your own?" Voldemort laughed.

"No, but we can," Helena said as The Charmed Ones stood in back of them. They walked down and stood in back of Erik who was thrown across the room and landed on a table which buckled under his weight and sent the table leg through his stomach.

"You think you can defeat us?" Voldemort asked as he waved his arms and about six different demons showed up. Beside Voldemort stood The Woogeyman, Shax, The Headless Horseman, and the Alchemist.

"Oh my god!" Phoebe said in horror.

"Why did he summon all those demons where the Power of Three is required?" Helena asked in panic.

"Only one doesn't need the Power of Three," Phoebe said stepping forward.

"Phoebe, what are you doing?" Piper asked trying to pull her sister back to safety.

"I know what I'm doing," Phoebe said facing the Woogeyman.

"Phoebe!" the Woogeyman said cackling.

"I am light, I am one too strong to fight. Return to dark where shadows dwell, you cannot have this Halliwell. Go away and leave my sight and take with you this endless night," Phoebe said as the Woogeyman screamed in pain and returned to the shadows. Phoebe moved back into the safety of her sisters and cousin and waited for Voldemort to make his next move, but he merely stood there which made them extremely nervous.

"Very impressive," Voldemort said smiling, "but the rest of the demons here can only be vanquished by the Power of Three and you can't say the spell together if each demon is attacking you." Suddenly Shax attacked Phoebe, the Headless Horseman chased after Paige who orbed everywhere in the castle, but the Horseman just showed up everywhere she orbed to, and the Alchemist brought back bodies from the dead and had them chase Piper. Helena did not know what to do, but she had her own demon to worry about. Cole sent an energy ball hurdling toward her and sent her flying up the grand staircase.

"You can't defeat me," Cole said smiling picking Helena up by her neck and throwing her down the grand staircase. To Helena's fear, she heard a snap and felt her wrist break. She yelled in pain as Cole came walking down the stairs. "No one can and you can't vanquish me. Only the Power of Three can. What are you going to do?"

"Sisters three, unite in this hour, with the magic of good we invoke, rend this evil from its power end his reign in eternal smoke," Helena said standing up, but Cole was still there. That spell did not work, but she knew another one. "You ready to die?"

"Are you?" Cole asked kicking her halfway across the room.

"Prudence, Patricia, Penelope, Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura, Grace. Halliwell witches stand strong beside us, vanquish this evil from time and space," Helena said as a ring of fire formed around Cole.

"How?" Cole asked trying to escape.

"I'm stronger than the Charmed Ones," Helena said smiling as Cole started to discinegrate. "Go to Hell!" Cole's eyes, suddenly, turned black and rolled into the back of his head while he turned to ash in front of Helena's eyes. Helena looked over at the sisters and wondered what she could do to help them. She was not sure if she knew the spells, but she was a Halliwell too, so she closed her eyes and focused all her energy into remembering the Power of Three spells she needed to vanquish these demons.

"Evil wind that blows, that which forms below. No longer will you dwell, death takes you with this spell."

"How did you do that?" Phoebe asked as Helena helped her up.

"I don't know," Helena said smiling.

"A little less standing around," Piper yelled, "a little more vanquishing!"

"Let flesh be flesh and bone be bone, the Alchemist shall transform none, cruel scientist of evil born, the this words face the fire's scorn."

"Thank you," Piper said moving away from the filthy mess being created from the exploding zombies. "It's about time."

"Now Paige," Helena said holding her cousin's hands. "Power of Three unite, to end this grisly fight. Reverse the roles and make us whole."

"Where's Cole?" Phoebe asked.

"Dead," Helena said smiling, "I vanquished him. All by myself."

"Oh my god," Piper said hugging her, but she had totally forgot about Erik. She ran over to him and looked at his wound; the table leg had pierced his stomach which made it hard for Erik to breathe. Helena pulled the leg out of him and placed her hands over his wound and healed him. He gasped for a brief second and enveloped her in a hug.

"Are you alright?" he asked her.

"Yea I'm fine," Helena said helping him to his feet, "everyone is gone. The treat is gone."

"Voldemort? Cole?" Erik asked shocked.

"Yea, I defeated them all on my own," Helena said as Erik wrapped his arms around her.

"She truly is a Halliwell," Paige said smiling, "even if she does have a different last name and not a sister."

"Thanks guys," Helena said as the sisters and Leo walked away, but Erik stopped Helena when she started to follow them. "What's wrong?"

"When that leg was in my stomach, I got to thinking," Erik said as they moved over to the stairs and sat.

"Thinking about what?" Helena asked as Erik took her hands in his.

"Do you like me being a vampire?" Erik asked.

"I don't care what you are," Helena said smiling.

"Well I have made a crucial desicion on my part," Erik said tightening his grip on her hands. "I'm not only doing this for me, but I'm doing this for you and I want you to be happy. Whether you agree with it or not, I am going through with this."

"Going through with what?" Helena asked confused.

"I'm giving up my immortality."
