Chapter 12

"An hour, its' been an hour." Cole said. "Where in the world are those kids." He had barely got it out of his voice when a vortex opened up, and the kids stepped out.

The parents had moved to the attic, figuring that they would return there, and it was a good thing they did.

Patience stepped out smiling, she was still impressed with herself for getting the chunk of skin, but her smiled quickly dropped when she saw Cole's angry gaze.

"Hi daddy," she said, she would almost rather take on the king again, then her dad.

Chris noticing the tension decided he would try and help out a bit. "Hey Uncle Cole, we would have been here sooner, but Einstein over forgot to right a return spell."

"Shut-up, I got us back didn't I?" Wyatt said, walking over to the Book.

"Yeah, you got us back, and took us to a few other planes along the way." Chris said, crossing his arms.

"I figured you wanted to see the sights." Wyatt said looking up from the book.

"Boys!" Piper yelled, "Did you at least get what you needed?"

Chris and Wyatt looked at each then at Patience and smiled. "Yeah, Patience sliced and diced her first demon. Got a good chunk of skin too, all we need now is to add it, and get the vanquishing spell and we got it covered." Chris said, holding up the piece of the King's skin.

Phoebe looked at Patience, she couldn't help but feel proud of her, she remembered the first demon she had to get skin from. She felt like she was going to faint. "Way to go hunny." She said smiling at her.

"Thanks." Patience answered smiling back, "I better go add this though." She motioned for Fayre and Jade, and they all went down to the kitchen to finish off the potion.

"Mommy, when do I get to vanquish a demon?" Sadie asked Paige, pulling on her shirt sleeve. Paige looked down to her, and smiled.

"Hunny, you already have." Sadie looked are with her brows furrowed. "Remember when you froze Grandma Edith's hair today?"

"PAIGE!" Henry yelled, and Paige winked at Sadie, and turned around to give him an innocent look.

"Potion ala flesh." Patience said dropping the demon flesh into the pot. The potion went poof just like it is always supposed does, and Patience turned around and grinned at already grinning Jade and Fayre.

They bottled the potion up and headed upstairs. They girls were walking up to the stairs to the attic when a vortex opened in front of them, and Freyja stepped out.

Fayre having quick a quick reaction time went to kick her, but Freyja being a skilled warrior grabbed her foot, and flipped her backwards. Fayre maneuvered her body and landed on her feet.

Fayre smiled to herself, she didn't know who this chick was, but she definitely had to respect her fighting skills. Fayre jumped in the air from her crouched position, and kicked the stranger with enough force to send her flying.

"Did you hear that?" Paige asked, looking towards the door. Everybody sat still, and they heard it again. It was the sound of grunt and groans, and things crashing to the ground.

Everybody looked at each other, and at the same time dropped what they were doing and ran for the door. It took a second for them to get organized at the door, they all were pushing to be the first ones out, but once they were through, they took off down the stairs at lightning speed.

Piper was the first down the stairs, and watched Fayre fly across the room, she was about to hitting her china cabinet. Piper gasped and stuck up her hands to freeze the glass from breaking.

Fayre got up off the ground shaking her head, it was a hard blow. She stared at Freyja who was staring at her in a come and get me look. They stood staring at each other, when Freyja held out her hand, and staff appeared, she threw to Fayre and got another one for herself.

They stood there, and at the same time charged at each other. Freyja took a swing for Fayre's head, but Fayre ducked barely missing it. In return she swung for her feet and Freyja jumped over it like it was nothing.

"There is something very familiar about that Valkrie." Phoebe said, she was standing between her sisters, and they looked at her with the same confusion in their eyes.

Brian made laughed a little, "You mean other than the fact of trying to suck with Chrissy boy here." He finished, slapping him on the back.

The sisters looked at each other when realization hit them. It was Freyja, the Valkrie that came with Chris. Their faces went from realization to horror. They looked at Chris, he was only a few years younger then when he had came back from the future to begin with. Freyja probably didn't realize.

"This is going to be interesting." Paige said, looking back down at Fayre and Freyja going at it. They were pretty evenly matched.

Fayre was having fun, she loved fighting hand to hand combat, and this was the first time she had met someone, other than Phoebe, that she couldn't whip on command. Jade was getting better, but she had been trained by demons, you couldn't get much more in depth than that.

They were standing almost nose to nose, their staffs together, the other one refusing to give in, that was when Fayre noticed Freyja's eyes move towards Chris. She saw the look in her eyes, and it was a look of longing.

Suspicion and anger filled her, and it that was all it took for her to make Freyja fly across the room.
