A sky full of stars - chapter 14
Halliwell Manor
Living room
Lara looked at the Charmed Ones furiously. She was in her place and suddenly she felt the familiar sensation of being transported. The witches had managed to summon her.
But why?
"What the hell are you thinking, witches? You should not summon me!" the former Elder snapped at them. Then she noticed Cole's presence and smiled an evil smile. "Look who's here... In the flash."
Phoebe felt a shiver down her spine as she heard her talking. "Piper..." she looked at her sister.
Piper nodded and raised the sword. "We'll vanquish you!"
"The perfect blade," Lara muttered, as she recognized the sword. Where did the Charmed Ones find this weapon?
"Be fast!" Cole shouted and watched as Piper started to read the inscription in the blade.
In this time, in this hour,
Showing a simple skill...
Lara waved her hand and the sword slipped from Piper's hand.
"You won't vanquish me!" she said defiantly.
"No!" Paige yelled, as the blade flew through the air into the concrete floor. "Sw..." she tried to call the sword, but Lara was fast and waved her hands again, sending the youngest Charmed One against the wall.
"Paige!" Phoebe muttered, as her sister hit her back on the wall and fainted.
"You're stupid," Lara smirked. "Did you really believe you could vanquish me? I have some news for you, witches. It won't be that easy," she said.
Piper tried to get the sword, but Lara flicked her hand at her in a gesture and the eldest Charmed One started to cry in pain.
"Stop it!" Phoebe said in despair, walking to her sister. "Stop it!"
"You...The only one who resists to my powers," Lara muttered under her teeth. She waved her hand, trying to send the middle witch away, but a shield appeared and protected her and Piper from the attack.
Phoebe rubbed her belly. "You won't win!" she said firmly. "Evil will never overcome good!"
"Talk, talk, talk... Your powerful child is protecting you. I can't hurt your body, but there's something I can steal from you," Lara said with a smile on her face.
"What..." Phoebe muttered. "No!" she yelled, as Lara moved to Cole, forming a golden ball in his hand.
"I told you, my dear," Lara told him, as he stepped back. "You'll be great in my collection!"
"Golden ball!" Paige called and the golden ball orbed in her hand. "You won't steal more souls!"
"I should have kill you," Lara groaned.
Phoebe noticed her distraction and took the sword in her hands. She swallowed hard and started to read the inscription on it:
In this time, in this hour,
Showing a simple skill,
The perfect blade will
drain your power
Lara cried in pain, as a golden light rose up from her body. It floated in the air and entered the sword.
"It worked!" Cole said in relief.
Lara fell on her knees. "You stole my powers..." she looked at her own hands in disbelief.
"As I said, you won't steal more souls..." Paige smirked.
"Now," Phoebe said, walking to her. "Tell me, what did you do with the souls you stole? Where are they?"
Lara shook her head. "You can kill me, witches! You'll never free them. Those souls are mine."
"You don't wanna talk," Piper said with a smile. "No problem!" she crossed her arms and started to chant a familiar spell:
Those who are now in this house,
will hear the truth from the other's mouths.
"The truth spell," Cole muttered.
"Where are the souls?" Phoebe asked again.
"In my Castle," Lara replied.
"And where's your castle? How can we free the souls?" Cole asked.
"In the Underworld," she replied. "There's a spell you can use to free them."
Piper closed her eyes in relief.
This time she would save her sister.
"O-kay..." Paige said with a sigh. "Let's go to the Underworld!"
