The next day after all the action, everyone was acting lazy. Piper had assembled the best cleaning tools she could and started to try to remove all Grendel blood from her precious floor.
Phoebe was just milling around the manor looking for something to do and as she walked she reflected on what had happened.
Prue was helping Hallie with her head. A bruise had appeared after the struggle with Sonan and Hallie was spacing out.
Jess was pacing in the living room deciding on how she should tell Cole that she didn't totally and completely hate him.
Cole was in the kitchen. He was reflecting too, but about the past.
Lynn sat alone in her room, which she would be leaving soon, and thought about the short time she spent with the sisters.
Lynn looked up and noticed Phoebe standing in the doorway.
"Have all your stuff?" Phoebe asked coming into the room.
"Yeah. I can't believe it ended so fast." Lynn said talking more about her stay at the manor than the fight with Sonan.
"Me too. So, where are you going to stay?" Phoebe asked.
"Oh well, my cousin Nicole is back in our hometown so I'm going to live with her and my other cousin. Hallie and Jess are going back to Pennsylvania too, so we can finally be best friends again." Lynn smiled.
"Well, that's good. At least you'll have that normal life you wanted. And, what about the amulet? I'm just curious..." Phoebe said. She was ready to drop the subject if Lynn wanted, but Lynn told her.
"Well, I stayed with a witch named Gwen once. She was really nice and I learned a lot from her. She had inheirited the amulet from her mother. It had generation to generation in her family since the first witch in her line. Someone, a warlock, broke into Gwen's house and stole some of her magic stuff, including the amulet. All Gwen really told me was that the amulet combined the two greatest magics and if evil had it, the world of magic would be doomed...unless the two forces that the amulet held together beat whatever evil had it. I leanred more about it later."
"So," Phoebe asked still taking in the information, "What will you do with it?"
"Well, Hallie, Jess, and I will take it with us. We'll probably give it to the Elders on our next check-up visit."
Lynn dropped the subject of magic for a while and said, "Hey, I want to give you something."
Phoebe looked at her as she got up and went to her bookbag. Lynn rummaged for a bit then pulled out a small book.
It was about the size of a planner. It was black and had the same design of Y and C joined together on the cover as the amulet had.
"Here." Lynn said handing the book to Phoebe.
"It's a book of us. It's got some spells, stories, and stuff. I know you'll say that you don't want to take it, but don't worry. I have another. I've got the original. That's just my travel copy."
Phoebe looked at the book. She didn't know what to say.
"Lynn! It's time for you guys to go!" Leo yelled.
Lynn and Phoebe walked downstairs. Lynn joined Hallie and Jess. They had their soggy goodbyes and before Lynn left she said to Phoebe, "If you ever need us, check page twenty-eight."
Phoebe touched the book and understood.
Then, after a final goodbye and look, the Young Three left the manor and lives returned to normal...as normal as they could be anyway.
THE END
