CHAPTER TEN
"Oh-my-god," Philippe gasped quickly. At the same time he re-froze the Grimlocks. Now he was really impatient.
"Karlia!" he demanded. "We don't have time for this, you are a Power of Three member. GET USED TO IT!" he finished snapping the last few words.
Both Selena and Karlia looked at Philippe wide-eyed in shock.
"You have a power, you know," Selena tried encouragingly.
"I do?" Karlia asked smiling.
"Yes," Philippe responded. "And we need you to use it. Using your powers, is the only way we will all survive."
Philippe motioned Selena and Karlia behind the orange bin and they all crouched down.
"The Grimlocks could unfreeze any minute," Philippe said, explaining why he had motioned them there. He turned to Karlia.
"Ok, according to the prophecy, the third member has the power to orb things by saying its name," he finished.
"Ok, so what do I do?" Karlia asked, suddenly gaining confidence with Philippe's words. Philippe looked around for a small object but couldn't find one.
"Bracelet," Selena said, referring to the one she was wearing. It was a simple, thin, black bracelet but it would do the job.
"Perfect," Philippe responded. "Ok, Karlia we don't have much time but I know you can do this," Philippe said. "Look at Selena's bracelet and then hold out your hand and call for it, however all you need to do is say its name."
Karlia held out her hand and looked at Selena's bracelet. She concentrated hard and said: "Bracelet."
Immediately Selena's bracelet glowed, white and blue orbs flew around it before it disappeared momentarily, and then re-appeared into Karlia's hand.
"Oh my god, I did it!" Karlia said excitedly.
"And not a moment to soon," Selena said, peering out from behind the bin and seeing the Grimlocks walking around aimlessly. Karlia turned to Philippe.
"What do I do?" she asked him.
"Call for the telephone pole wire, but make sure the Grimlocks are in front of you when you do it. It should zap them," Philippe responded.
Like a fireman responding to an alarm, Karlia jumped up and bravely walked into view. The Grimlocks noticed her straight away, one of them said: "You're very brave to come back here all alone."
But Karlia, who now knowing that she had an active power spat right back saying: "No actually, see I think you're brave for standing under a..." putting her hand up towards the telephone-pole wire behind the Grimlocks she said: "Telephone-Pole wire!"
Immediately two of the wires came loose each one directly hitting the Grimlocks on it's way down. While they were being electrocuted Philippe and Selena raced up to Karlia. Philippe handed her then spell and said: "Come on, we all need to read this to finish them off." So together they all chanted:
Demon who's face is white
We wish to erase you from the night
North, South, East, West
All of good witches do your best.
And just like before, the ghost-heads circled the Grimlocks, only this time the faster they circled, the more a fire started to burn. The fire rose from the ground and once it had reached the Grimlocks heads, the blasted into a million and one pieces.
"Duck!" Philippe yelled.
Everyone did as debris and ash flew everywhere above their heads. Then just as suddenly as the blast occurred, it was over.
"Wow, we are on kick-ass Power of Three!" Karlia exclaimed.
Selena threw an arm around her and said: "You said it girl."
Philippe put an arm around Karlia as well. Smiling, they all left the alley-way.
Moments later the Power of Three entered the Power Port, still smiling and laughing over their victory against the Grimlocks. As Philippe shut the door, both Ryan and Natalie orbed into the Hallway. They both had a look on their faces, the kind of look that you would see people give a cute little puppy in a pet shop window.
"Awwwwwwww!" They both said together.
"The new generation," Ryan said.
"Of the Power of Three," Natalie Confirmed.
"Back together," They finished in unison.
Though she had no idea who these people were, Karlia joined Selena and Philippe in hugging Natalie and Ryan.
"Now, all of you." Ryan started. "Stand under the chandelier and hold hands."
They all walked over to the chandelier with Philippe whispering excitedly: "Do you understand, this is bigger then the moon landing."
Ryan positioned the three to make a circle under the chandelier and they all held hands. Instantly it started shaking as bright and blue and white streams of light flashed out of it and flew onto all three. As each felt the light hit them they shuddered and smiled.
Was this really happening?Philippe asked himself smiling.
