Chapter Ten
"You never said where you went when you flamed away before!" Jake stated, though it sounded a bit like a question, when he and Miley were in the basement waiting on one of this sisters on Sunday the 7th of December.
"Where do you think I got the Tennessee Iris?" Miley smirked in response and Jakes face took on an 'Oh' look. "Do you think I'll be able to control my powers in time for Christmas?" She asked, suddenly turning serious.
"At the rate you're going I wouldn't be surprised if had them all down by the end of the week." Jake replied, sitting on the second last step of the staircase like Piper had three days earlier.
"Why are you being so nice to me after I said I didn't want to go out with you?"
"Because you've had a crazy two weeks that if it were me I'd be lying on the floor in feotal position. And you said you needed a friend, so that's what I'm going to be until you're ready to date." He answered, sliding over a little so she could sit next to him. "But trust me, when you are ready, I won't leave you alone 'til I get a yes."
"Do you have any brothers or anything?" Miley suddenly asked and a look of confusion crossed his face.
"No! Why?"
"Well, I've been thinking about that book thingie we did and how it said my soul mate was L. J. Ryan, and you're the only Ryan I know, so it's either someone related to you or someone I haven't met yet." Miley reasoned and Jake nodded, biting his tongue to keep from blurting out the truth.
'Or it could be me!' Miley laughed a little at hearing that.
"No it couldn't, I'm pretty sure Jake starts with a 'J' not 'L'." She denied and he looked at her weirdly.
"What?" He asked slowly.
"Jake starts with J not L." She repeated.
"I know, but why'd you say that?" He questioned and it was her turn to look confused.
"Because you said it could be you!" Miley replied as if it were obvious, her brow furrowing.
"No I didn't!" Jake shook his head, now just as confused as she was.
"But I heard you!"
"But I didn't say anything!"
"But did you think it?" A third voice asked from the top of the stairs andd both teenagers turned to see Prue coming down to them.
"Why would that matter?" Miley asked just as Jake was about to, standing up and walking to the middle of the basement that she had become very familiar with over the last few days.
"Because one of your powers is telepathy, remember?" Prue said, walking to stand in front of her as Jake stood beside her. "You could have heard his thoughts!"
'That would explain it!' Jake agreed.
"Yeah, it would! But how do I control this one? Do you guys know anyone who has telepathy?" Miley asked, looking from her sister to Jake and back again hopefully.
"Telepathy was on my list of powers as well, but I don't have it." Jake put forth, not quite helpfully. "Maybe I'm going to get it?"
"Just what I need; two telepathic teenagers in one house!" Prue muttered before turning back to them. "You two figure this one out on your own. That's telepathy, no other powers, go it?" She added before starting up the stairs.
"Got it!" Two voice chorused and she eyed them before disappearing.
Power of Five
'Which school do you think I should go to?' Miley asked Jake five hours later, the pair having finally mastered mind chatting.
'Well, Magic School is pretty good, but I wouldn't know about the other one because I've only ever gone to Magic School.' He replied honestly.
"Where are Miley ad Jake?" Andy asked Prue when he had't seen either for a few hours.
"In the basement." His childhood sweeheart answered witha shrug.
"Alone?" Andy's eyes widened when Prue nodded and he ran towards the door to the basement, completely forgetting he could orb.
"Andy! Andy, they're fine, I told them they were only alowed to practice their telepathy." Prue told him, following him to the part of the house they had decided to designate for practicing magic.
"And when we were fourteen and your Grams told us we were only alowed to do our homework or watch T.V when we were alone, what did we do?" He shot back, going all big brother over Miley.
"Miley? Jake?" Prue called, running over to the basement door and flinging it open to be met with complete silence. "Hello?"
'Yes?' Miley's voice sound hrough Prue's head and she jumped.
"Not funny, kid, try using your voice like a normal person?" She suggested, coming down the steps with Andy close behind her to find Miley and Jake sitting opposite eachother on the floor, their eyes locked together. "Have you two figured out how to use it yet?"
"Yeah, about an hour ago!" Jake said, standing up and holding out a hand to help Miley up before stretching.
"The key isn't to try and read peoples thoughts and put your own in thier head, but to find the person and let the thoughts flow naturally back and forth." Miley explained as best she could
"Uh huh!" Prue nodded, her brow furrowed in confusion. "I'll take your word for it."
Power of Five
"The Window of Opportunity has closed!" A voice growled to the two young demons before him. "Why was I unaware that her powers had been unbound?"
"F-f-forgive us, sire?" Lilly begged, bowing deeply to the Source of All Evil. "But when we encountered her, her powers were bound and we could not kill her because she had a guard with her. A Charmed One and her whitelighter!"
"Your job was simple enough; kill the girl before she got her powers!" The Source yelled, a fireball forming in his scared hand.
"And you failed!" The fireball left his hand and hit Oliver squarely in the chest turning him into nothing more than a pile of dust in mere seconds. "Give me one good reason why I should not kill you right now?" He demanded of the remaining minion, creating a second weapon for her.
"-" Lilly opened her mouth to try and defend her life only to have the fireball thrown at her, killing her instantly.
"If I could, my liege, make a suggestion?" The Seer requested from her perch on a stone bench stroking a crystal ball.
"What?" The Source demanded, black eyes blazing with fury.
"The new witch is a teenager, if you wish to bring her to the dark side, you should exploit her weakness." The Seer purred.
"Stupid B!7(h!" The Source yelled, rounding on her with another fireball. "The Window has closed, she is good!"
"Her demonic heritage exempts her from the rule - her window never closes." The Seer said, peering into her crystal ball.
"Well, then what is your suggestion, Seer?" He growled, extinguishing the weapon.
"What is the one weakness of every teenage girl?" She smiled and The Source rolled his black eyes.
"Fashion?" He guessed lamely, partially in disbelief that he was even playing this game.
"Teenage boys!" The Seer corrected and the Source girnned evilly as a plan formed in his head to get the youngest Charmed One.
