Chapter 4

"SUSAN" Alaric yelled, rather concerned.

"What's the problem?" came her voice as she orbed back to the office clearly confused.

"Hope was sitting right there and she disappeared in these balls of white light" he said.

"I don't understand, there is no one with charmed power except Hope, I will see what i can find out from the others" she said Orbing away quickly again.

"Should i be worried?" he asked to an empty room. 'Best check the school to see if Hope is around' he thought heading out of the room.


Not long after leaving his office, they had checked the entire school grounds to see if Hope was around, with no luck, he was getting anxious by the minute wondering why it was taking Susan so long to get back to him.

Now sitting in the canteen with the others he suddenly said "Susan" loudly causing his daughters and Landon to jump startled.

They all looked at him, when a blue light appeared hovering in midair above the table. Unsure, Rick put his hands under the hovering light and it materialised into a piece of paper that fell into the palms of his hands.

"Thats cool" said Lizzie putting her hand to where it had appeared, to find it normal. "No heat after magic being used...what does it say?"

"It says still consulting the Elders"

"That's just great Hope could be anywhere, I promised to look after her" Alaric said not hungry.

"Don't worry we'll find her hopefully this Susan woman will get back to us soon" said Lizzie biting into her toast.

"I hope you're right" he replied smiling worriedly thinking 'he might have to contact Freya and let her know what was happening'


Meanwhile as they were waiting Hope was slowly coming round, peeling one eye open groggily, she slowly opened the other and saw a shape of an old woman with short grey hair and a man tall man with brown hair. She found herself tied to a chair with ropes binding her arms and feet. "What's going on?" she asked trying to move. It felt uncomfortable.

"We did a spell to find our magic and you appeared" said the old woman. "Our Charmed magic suddenly disappeared and for some reason you appeared"

"Charmed magic I don't understand...that weird book...It disappeared and gave me these powers...SUSAN!" she yelled, feeling rather scared and unsure of how to contact Susan.

As soon as she yelled her name she appeared in a swirl of blue and white lights in front of her.

"What's..." her voice trailed off seeing her tied to a chair. Hurrying forward she was undoing the ropes.

"You're an Elder" said the young man, behind them.

Susan straightened up and spun around.

"Who are you, how do you know about Elder's?"

"My mother and Auntie's were the charmed one's when all of our magic disappeared, except my White lighter powers, Grandma did a locator spell and she showed up" he replied looking at Hope.

"Oh you're Wyatt?"

"I'm Chris"

"Nice to meet you my name is Susan and Hopes family are worried about her whereabouts, we don't know what's going on but the book appeared to Hope here and she got your powers, we have no idea why or how she is ale to control all of yor powers, it's a bit much for one person to handle"

Bringing out a mobile phone, the young man called someone and more blue and white balls of light appeared and these three women with grey hair appeared after Chris said he "had found their powers" One of the woman had a phone to her ear.

"Where is our magic...hey?" the woman with long grey hair asked, noticing the older woman there.

"That young woman has your powers" said Chris and they all turned to stare at Hope and Susan, making Hope feel even more uncomfortable.

"Right then let's do a spell to get them back" said the older woman, snapping everyone to attention.

"Let's do this" said one of the women.

Susan un did the ropes and Hope stood up rather wobbly leaning on Susan for support as the older woman said a spell.

After she said it, they all waited several seconds, when nothing happened, Chris said "hey catch" throwing a toy at her. Pushing out her hands, they all saw it freezing in mid air.

"Maybe i said it wrong" she said, bringing out a small note book and pen.

After saying a couple more spells, nothing happened and this seemed to frustrate them all as Hope still had their powers. Wanting to go home and starting to get angry, Hope said "enough I want to go home you're holding me against my will" and blinked right in front of them and vanished in a flash.

"Did she just blink" gasped Piper rather shocked. "That's Dark Magic, this could be a problem"

"I'll try and track her" said Susan with a worried frown. "She is probably back at the school" Orbing out of the attic.


As Alaric and the others still waited for news, they heard Hope's voice in the room saying "wow that felt weird and angry" Turning to look, they all saw Hope standing there looking rather shocked. Standing up Alaric went forward giving her a hug saying "how did you get there, where have you been?"

"I was tied to a chair in some attic, there were these women there saying i had their powers, Charmed magic they called it, they mentioned it was weird that i can handle all their powers as they are not meant for one person, but three people, Susan found me, but i somehow got back here, I don't know where i was"

As she said it, Susan came hurrying into the room, "oh good i found you again, i guessed you would be here, i am a bit worried about you blinking thats dark magic"

"Blinking" replied Hope confused, "what's blinking?" as she vanished again, reappearing at the far end of the room looking shocked.

"This is so cool you can go from one place to the next" said Josie, who'd been quiet so far.

"No, this is bad you may be turning Evil, into a demon if you continue to blink"

"I don't want to be an evil demon" said Hope near to tears with everything that was going on was overwhelming, as she blinked yet again, this time no where in the room.

"Hope!" called Susan, "I can track her it will take me a while if she's blinking" when Alaric's phone began to ring.

"Hey Freya...what's...calm down, can you repeat that, Hope's there is she alright okay thanks she has these new powers it's difficult to explain...okay thanks, Susan will come and bring her back here, expect some blue lights?"

"She is in New Orleans" said Landon "that was quick"

"I'll get her" said Susan. "We must calm her down, the powers are linked to her emotions and if she is hysterical then that would make them worse, she could really hurt someone or expose her powers" when she grabbed his arm and Orbed them both to New Orlean's.

"Hey" gasped Lizzie and Josie, standing up startled. "We have the place to ourselves" said Landon.

"How long do you think he will be gone?" Landon wondered.

"Let's party" said Lizzie, bringing out her phone.


As Rick's vision came back, he doubled over feeling really sick after a weird sensation running through him, it lasted several moments, but he never felt so bad. "It will pass said Susan once you get used to it"

"Did i just do that thing you do?"

"It's called Orbing"

"Where am I?"

"San Fransisco"

"Hey is this the attic Hope was in?" he asked, standing straight and looking around.

"I'm IN San Fransisco, can we go outside?"

"Not the way i am dressed, come with me?" she replied heading for the door. "HELLO?" she called, "IT'S SUSAN"

Following her out of the room and down the stairs a woman's voice said "Hello Susan, who's this?" as they both saw a woman with long grey hair, standing in the hall way looking at them.

"This Rick, he is Hope's guardian, I thought you would be able to explain what's going on about your powers and everything"

"Hello, I am Piper my sisters are out working and I have time off at the moment, I haven't had a holiday in ages, would you like some tea or coffee, come sit i will gladly tell you...
