Hey guys get your reviews in we are almost to the end of the story!! This has been an exciting ride and I'm so glad people are enjoying my work since I struggled so much with this story. So a little set up for this chapter... the first part with Peyton and Blake is what is going on before the kids go out on their dates, and then it catches up to Mel and Shayne in the club. Hope you enjoy the chapter... and find out what Shayne is planning :). Please review!!!!
"Blake we need to hurry, I need to work at P3 tonight" Peyton whispered as they followed the demon and warlock through the underworld.
"Shh, Peyton I need to hear what they are saying" Blake sniped.
"They are building an army. But what they aren't telling us is where we can find this new source" Peyton said crossing her arms.
"I'm aware but don't you think this information might be valuable in the near future" he replied.
Peyton sighed. He was right, but damn it she was going to be late for work.
"Look Peyton, you can go. I can stay down here and get our proof. Then we can keep Mel from making a terrible decision" Blake said, his blood boiling.
"You really like her don't you" Peyton said raising an eyebrow
"Yes, I do. Now go before you are late" he said. With that Peyton hearted out.
"My master is going to make a move on the Charmed front tonight. He is almost in position to eliminate the twice blessed witch. This is why we need you to start an attack on the magical alliances. We don't want the group of cousins to have access to the different forms of magic. Once we can get the girl's powers on our side, it won't take us long to arrange the ceremony to purge ourselves of the twice blessed, and the power of 3x3" the demon explained to the warlock.
"I will join you. But, I must choose my army. I have connections with some powerful warlocks who would be an important addition to this army. We will advance on the ogres tonight and then take out the fairies at sunrise" the warlock informed Jeremy.
"Sounds excellent. I will send out all the available dark lighters. Their instructions will be to shoot anything that orbs or even looks like it could orb" Jeremy replied.
"It will be done" the warlock said with a bow and blinked out.
Jeremy shimmered out of the cavern. Blake quickly picked up on the shimmer and followed the demon.
Jeremy reappeared in an apartment. Blake shimmered in behind a door, not paying much attention to his surroundings. He watched as Jeremy walked over to a book shelf and pulled a book off of it. Jeremy opened the cover of the book and pulled out a glass vial. Blake looked closely at the object. It looked to have some sort of black smoky essence in it.
"It's almost full" Jeremy said as he put the vial back and closed the book. Jeremy turned to the book shelf to replace the book, Blake looked hard at the cover… Macbeth.
"Oh no" Blake said as he started to look at his surroundings. He was in Shayne's apartment, the one he and Wyatt broke into all those months ago.
"Who's there?" Jeremy said looking up.
Blake's eyes went wide, did he really just make that critical of an error? He looked through the opening in the door to see the demon walking towards him. Blake thought quickly about his options, he could stay and fight, or he could shimmer away with Jeremy probably picking up on his shimmer and following him. Blake followed his initial reaction to get out of the place he shimmered out and reappeared in the underworld.
"At least down here he won't be able to track me as easily" the manticore said as he took off running down a corridor.
Jeremy felt the ripple and tried to follow it. Someone had been spying on him and he didn't like it. Whoever it was would pay. He shimmered into the underworld he looked around and didn't see anyone. Thinking that who was spying on him was trying to through him off his shimmer trail Jeremy shimmered out and tried to find him in a different part of the underworld.
Shayne and Mel were holding onto each other tightly on the dance floor while "All my Life" was playing.
"Mel, I have something very important to ask you" Shayne said pulling away to look Mel in the eyes.
"What baby?" Mel said curiously.
The song ended and people started to walk off the dance floor. Shayne grabbed Mel's hand "come with me" he said as he took her towards the DJ booth. "H.J. I need to borrow the mic real quick" Shayne said to the youngest Halliwell (last name or no) male. H.J. looked at him confused and handed him the mic.
"Can I have everyone's attention for a minute, I have something very important to say" Shayne started. "My name is Shayne and this is my beautiful girlfriend Mel and tonight is a very special night. From the moment I met Mel I knew I couldn't live without her so right now I would like to know something Mel…" Shayne questioned as he turned towards the confused brunette.
"What?" she asked shakily.
Shayne reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue box and opened it. He got down on one knee and held the box towards Mel. "Will you marry me?" he asked with glowing puppy dog eyes.
Mel's mouth fell open, as did, Peyton, H.J.'s Chris's, Bianca's and Wyatt's. Mel felt as if she couldn't speak. "Yes" she managed to squeak.
The crowd applauded and oohed and aahed at the sight. Shayne slipped the beautiful ring on her finger. A beautiful princess cut ½ karat diamond with two amethyst stones on either side on a platinum band. Mel just stared at the bobble that adorned her finger. H.J., Chris, Bianca, and Wyatt had smiles on their faces, Peyton had a look of horror.
"Wyatt, I'll be right back" Peyton said as she walked away from the bar quickly. She opened the door to Piper's office and stepped inside.
"Blake! Blake it's important, NOW!" She screamed.
