Chapter 2 - Mercedes
"I'm sorry," Prue said cocking her head to one side. "What did you say?"
The amber eyes goddess, Biancae, stepped foreward. "She said we're the Charmed Ones."
"That's impossible," Prue scoffed. "We're the Charmed Ones," she said pointing in turn to herself, Piper and Pheobe.
Ebony shook her head and laughed. "And so isn't it fitting that your future children carry on the title."
"WHAT!" they all screamed at one.
The black haired sultry eyed beauty who hadn't spoken yet stepped up and said calmly. "We used a spell to come into the past and fight alongside you. It is imperative. You must undertsand that," she smiled gently. "Let us give you a better introduction," she smiled again. "I am Bri, future daughter of Prue Halliwell and......well I can't say because that would alter the natural course of things. I'm twenty years old next week."
Biancae smiled too, her amber eyes sparkling. "As Ebony already told you, my name is Biancae. I'm the future daughter of Piper Halliweel and their white lighter, Leo. I'm twenty-three."
Ebony shrugged in resignation. "And I'm Ebony. I'm the future daughter of Phoebe Halliwell and their former enemy, the demon Cole. I'm twenty-one."
Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Leo, and Cole all looked at each other in astonishment and then at the three girls and their white lighter.
"Okay. Well, since you're here to help maybe you tell us something we don't know about these Blood Sister or the demond Mercedes presence is supposed to herald the coming of." Phoebe said finally, being the first to recover from their recent shock.
The three girls and Brett looked at each other and the three of them dropped into defensive stances and just a few seconds there was a shimmerand a young demon women appeared. She looked just like the chalky drawing in the Book of Shadows.
She laughed and said in a silky hiss. "Well, we're all gathered for the party! Ha! I come to herlad the coming of the the Nameless One. The ultimate demoness of the Blood Sisters. She held up her hand and silver energy poured out, streaking toward them on swift wings of fury."
Piper thrust her hands foreward with a surprised. "Ahhh!"
The silver energy stopped only for a moment and then immediately started foreward again.
"Oh!" Piper said. "That's not good!"
Biancae stepped in front of them and lifted her arm. A shimering, translucent shield formed around on her arm.
The silver essence bounced right off and streaked back at Mercedes who shimmered to a different location to avoid being hit.
Bri looked at Mercedes and glared. Her eyes seemed to spark and Mercedes screamed as a shard of glass plunged into her neck.
Ebony stepped foreward and gave a cold smile. "Eat this," she said as she flicked her wrist and a blazing fire ate at the shard of glass and drank deeply of the blood oozing from the wound in her throat. Mercedes screamed and sank to the floor, holding her neck and screaming as she clawed at her throat.
Finally she looked up at Ebony and screamed as she flung a bolt of silver energy.
Ebony made a motion with her hand that was exactly like her father when he summoned his energy. A ball of fire appeared in her hands, crackling menacingly as she flung it and it crashed into the nergy bolt and blew up.
Everyone flinched and flew back as the two attacks collided and made a huge burst. Heat rolled throughout the room and toward them until they felt as if they would melt.
Biancae lifted her arm and a shield spread over it and then up and over everyone except for Ebony who had stayed standing even during that huge blast.
"Wait!" Phoebe cried. "She'll be burned to death!"
But even as they watched they saw a figue walking out of the fire with a purpose. Her blond hair blew a little bit in the warm air and her eyes glinted dangerously.
Everyone but Bri and Biancae heaved a sigh of relief when they saw her. They had already known she would be okay.
When the fire hit the shield there was a jolt and for a moment they weren't sure if it would hold.
When it finally dissapated Biancae let down her shield and looked around the room. Everything was okay. It had somehow withstood the heat of the fire and Mercedes was no where to be seen.
But as they all stood there, astounded, a form shimmered in behind Ebony. Mercedes lifted a cermonial dagger of silver set with glittering, priceless jewels.
Prue gasped and flicked her wrist.
The fanged demon went flying into the opposite wall. She got up and flew at Prue who calmly blocked a punch and then once again sent her flying.
When she charged this time she launched herself at Piper who froze her in mid air and then Phoebe jumped into the air, holding herself there for a few moment beofrore she snapped her leg out into a kick that sent Mercedes rolling.
She let herlself fall to the ground and said complaingly. "Okay. Flying is getting easier but landing is hard. Literally. It's hard," she said as she rubbed her bottom.
Meanwhile Mercedes dissapeared again and this time she didn't reappear.
Phoebe looked at the three girls and her eyes fell on Ebony. She smiled mischeviously and yelled with a silly grin on her face. "I think my girl is the strongest!"
Immediately they all began a good natured fight about who was stronger than whom and after it had finally settled down they turned back toward the Book of Shadows.
"Maybe we should look at this later," Piper commentd. "Right now maybe we should get these girls settled and find out all of whats hapening and why they're here."
"I'm sorry," Prue said cocking her head to one side. "What did you say?"
The amber eyes goddess, Biancae, stepped foreward. "She said we're the Charmed Ones."
