Chapter 13

Lucky

"Where are we?"

The dark blue room that was pinned with movies posters struck a nerve for Frankie and me. The room that was filled all with happy memories was now left with a memory that Chandra might be dead, saving us from the demons that broke in.

I looked over at where Faith sat, the cuddle couch as Chandra called it, "This is Chandra's room, Frankie's house."

Frankie came up from behind me wrapping his arms around my shoulders, making me feel at peace rather then worried at first touch. "Chastity, I think the best thing we can do right now is get some rest."

I merely nodded, he was right if we were ever going to get out and find a safer place to hide we needed to get the stuff needed to do so and that also meant rest.

"I'll go show Faith to the bathroom, I'll be right back"

When I was walking down the hall hand in hand with a slayer I thought how weird it must be to protecting a slayer rather then the other way around. Faith, who looked pretty, beaten up on the inside was the girl that wasn't just the key to all this but also had a say in wither this would go over smoothly... I knew that I was strong, and Frankie had the unique powers while Faith had the experience with the big problems with supernatural. Such as the world ending.

"hey, kid thanks alot, and i hope your friend is alright."

"I'll be right down the hall, call if you need me" I forced smile before closing the door.

One thing that I hated about Frankie's house is that it scared me at night. The halls were gigantic, just like the house in Red Rose but it didn't grow overnight. And I wished right then that Nick didn't leave for his vacation, he was the one to always to walk me around the house until I found where Frankie was.

I snapped around punching Frankie right in the cheek, he looked nothing like himself. If fact I haven't seen him without girl cloths on since the end of 8th grade year. Wow, he's changed. For a guy he was perfect, one of those guys that can pass as a girl because he looks so feminine but at the same time male too. "Oh, gosh sorry Frankie, dammit you should know better then to sneak up on me. And what with the change?"

"Sorry, I just felt suddenly lonely; I'm so use to feeling a connection between my two best friends. Oh, and I tired of being a girl and getting hurt when the guy finds out I'm a guy"

"Oh, got it, and I miss the connection too. Let hope we feel that once we find out where Chandra is hiding."

"What was that?"

I gave him a questioning look until I heard what he must have heard, someone was down stairs whispering. Frankie and I just starred at each other until I merely nodded. We knew what we had to do; this wasn't the first time that demons broke into his house. However it was the first time fighting without Chandra…

When we reached down stairs we went separate ways into the two rooms that later adjoined into a huge living room. When we made it to our sides we both saw mere outlines of a group of demons behind the wall, I lifted up my hand counting down.

Frankie used his heat vision on one of them, while I knocked over two of them.

"Stop! Stop! Chastity, Frankie it's us." The lights came on and the view became clear, I had just punch and kicked two stranger dressed oddly. Frankie on the other hand drew blood off of the other. Connor was holding up his hand while Chandra was the one who flipped on the lights.

I didn't waste time and neither did Frankie. We both ran into the arms of Chandra, the two of us sense that Chandra was the most hurt. And right then we felt our connection, and not only that but the most terrible memory of what happen to Chandra.

I felt tears run down my cheeks and onto her shoulder, 'Chandra, why? Why did you transport us out while you were alone with that monster?'

'Yeah, Chandra you could have been killed! And then I-we would of blamed ourselves forever-'

'Guy, please just be happy that I'm alive, I don't want to feel over burden with your feelings of guilt when we need to help these four to kill that monster'

'Yes, we will' Frankie and I thought at the same time.

"Are they having some kind of prayer meeting?" I heard one of the strangers remark to Connor.

"No, I think the three of them have a unique mind connection"

The three of us turned around to see the four of them in a line in front of us. Chandra went over in the arms of Connor who whispered something in her ear and Frankie went to turn the fire place on. One of them, who had been burned by Frankie heat vision was sitting down on the couch with his eyes closed.

'Frankie, I think you hurt that guy over there pretty bad'

He turned around from the fire pit to star at him,'I feel weird about going up to him asking if I can help with something that I affiliated onto him in the first place and I bet-'

'Is someone scared to go talk to a cute guy?'

'You two that's Joey-Lee, he's the element guardian of water…and I might know something else but I'm not telling until Frankie goes to help him'

Frankie pouted, at that Chandra and I burst out laughing. Which earned the three of us all worried looks from the rest of them. 'Fine, playing off my weak spot, you two knew I'll be to curious to not go up to him.'

The girl with long hair braided into what looked to be an impossible hair up do stood up and leaned against the wall, "There doing that mind thing again aren't they?"

"Yup"

Frankie went up to Joey-Lee getting his attention by putting his hand on his shoulder, lets just say that we don't only hear each other thoughts but can feel through them too and what Frankie got off Joey-Lee was intense concentration and pain.

'Try using your empathic power to calm him down'

The two of us could feel Frankie working on calming him down, "I'm-sorry-I-hit-you, I-I thought you were a demon- uh, you know Chandra is a witch with strong healing powers-"

Frankie got cut off when Joey-lee look him straight in the eyes. "Please, can't you stop using your powers to calm me down? I know you're trying to help but I can heal myself with the right concentration"

Frankie slowly backed away looking at Chandra and I with intense 'I'm-going-to-pay-you-back' stare down. We both knew that he was more embarrassed more then hurt.

"Uh, excuse me but before you all either attack us again or do the whole mind melding thing can we at least get your names?" the one that thought we were praying ask.

"Oh, sorry about the attack wait Chandra hasn't told you our names?"

"No, are you kidding me she hasn't said a word to any of us, probably word or two at the most with Connor" the girl leaned off of the wall sitting down next to Joey-Lee.

Frankie stepped in while I gave Chandra a concerned look, 'Don't Chastity; I don't want you or Frankie to worry about me when we need to catch that monster'

"Well, my name is Frankie and this is Chandra. What are your names?"

The girl came forward, "My name is Windy you can guess my element that over there is Joey-Lee he is the water guardian and Clover you can guess his too."

With the getting out of the way that left only one thing to get out of the way before we hunted down the monster that hurt Chandra. The plan was to find our way back into Epiphany and find Eric. before we did anything Joey-Lee was sent upstairs to get Faith, the three of them had met when Faith and London were dating without demons coming after her.

The eight of us got lead by Frankie to his garage which was occupied by five cars, three vans, and two trucks with a trailer hooked on to the back. Frankie hopped into the drivers seat while Chandra and I sat up front with Frankie with the others in the trailer getting comfortable, 'So, Chandra what's that secret about Joey-Lee?'

'Oh, that, well lucky for you Frankie he's bi'
