Chapter 2- Tricks
"What is that?" Piper asked, keeping distance from the creature. Phoebe looked at the demon's yellow six heads, and then she noticed that it had five legs.
"Landoras?" Cole asked, walking closer to the gruesome beast. The beast spoke in a different language to Cole, and then looked at The Charmed Ones.
"He said he tricked us." Cole said, now very angry.
"What do you mean he tricked us?" Piper asked, glaring at the demon. He spoke in a different language again, the laughed.
"He tricked us. The premonitions Phoebe was having were fake." Cole said. Leo orbed in with Melinda.
"What is it, what's wrong?" Leo asked panicky. Piper looked confused, at Paige and Phoebe.
"Did you call him?" Piper asked. Paige and Phoebe shook their heads no. Piper caught on to what was going on,
"LEO ORB MELINDA OUT NOW!!!" Piper rushed out of her mouth. But before Leo could question, the beast had knocked Leo out and snatched Melinda. Piper stepped toward the demon, but as she did, a ring of fire got closer to Melinda. The baby girl cried out in fear, and Piper's eyes swelled up with anger.
"Don't worry, she'll be safe with me." The beast said in plain English, then he morphed into a human.
"Melinda!" Paige called for the baby, but it didn't effect where the baby's presents was. The demon laughed.
"Nice to see you again, Balthazar." The demon said. The fire ring disappeared, and Piper seized her chance, she tried to blow up the demon. He wasn't affected.
"Balthazar, maybe you could help me out. If I want to shimmer in this form, do I have to say a spell?" The demon asked. Cole just stood there silent.
"Fine, I'll figure it out." He said. He put the baby down, and the ring of fire appeared around her once again. The demon shut his eyes and began to concentrate very hard. A yellow light began to glow again, and then it suddenly stopped.
"Opps! Wrong power." He said. Leo orbed up and back into consciousness, and comforted Piper. A young girl shimmered in behind the demon, and he immediately figured it out. He whipped around and saw the brunet headed girl standing right behind him, surprisingly very calm.
"Camryn?" Cole asked. The girl looked at Cole strangely, then held a gaze at the demon, with her dark green eyes. She looked down and Melinda, and easily put out the fire. Melinda stopped crying, and the girl picked her up.
"You didn't really think that was going to work did you?" The demon said. The girl shrugged, and surprisingly the baby disappeared and reappeared in Piper's arms.
"Looks like it did to me." The girl replied. The demon fired an energy ball, but she deflected it.
"You didn't really think that was going to work did you?" The girl mocked the demon with a cocky tone. The demon morphed back into it's old self. This time a fireballs shot out of the demon's arms, but Camryn ducked and it burned against the wall in the ally. Paige, trying to help called for the garbage can and it crashed against the demon. The demon looked back at the girl, and then shimmered out.
"Camryn?" Cole said again, knowing it was her. The girl stared at Cole with a concentrated gaze.
"Balthazar?" The girl asked, still not sure what to think. Cole nodded. The girl took a step back indefinitely. Phoebe looked a Cole, then at Piper and Paige.
"Are you still, um"?
"Evil?" Cole helped. Camryn nodded.
"No." Cole said certainly. "I'm good now." Camryn ran over to Cole, and hugged him comfortably. Cole hugged back. For the first time in six years, he had seen his niece.
"Hey. Cole's gonna go take a shower Piper and Paige are at the club so I guess it's just you and me." Phoebe said. Camryn nodded. "So where do you live?" Phoebe asked, trying to make conversation.
"Well I usually just hang out up there." Camryn said looking up, "But I'm living with a foster family." Camryn finished.
"My sister Paige was adopted. My mom died when I was really little, and my dad left so I grew up with my grandmother." Phoebe explained.
"You probably already know the story on me." Camryn concluded.
"Yeah, most of it." Phoebe continued with a slight smile on her face. Camryn laughed. Melinda let out a playful laugh of her own from her playpen. Camryn held her smile.
"She's really cute." Camryn complemented. Phoebe nodded.
"Thank you for saving her." Phoebe replied.
"It was no biggie. Besides I ran into uncle Cole." Melinda gurgled from her playpen.
"Do you need to get home?"
"Only if you want me two. My foster parents are on a vacation right now, they needed some alone time." Camryn said, stressing the 'alone'. Phoebe laughed. "Your guys are The Charmed Ones right?" Camryn asked, clearing things up.
"Yeah. Can I get you anything are you hungry, thirsty?" Phoebe replied, getting up.
"Nah, that's ok. I'm fine. Thanks though." Melinda started to cry, and Phoebe picked her up but she didn't stop crying.
"I think she's hungry, can you watch her while I go get her bottle?" Phoebe asked.
"Sure." Camryn replied, as Phoebe handed her Melinda. Phoebe walked into the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator. Right when she grabbed the light- pink bottle, she heard a sound coming from the attic. She looked back in the living room, and found Camryn happily playing with Melinda. So Phoebe shrugged and carried the bottle into the living room. Camryn handed giggling Melinda to Phoebe, who sat down and started to bottle feed Melinda.
"Do you have any brother or sisters?" Phoebe asked Camryn, continuing to feed Melinda.
"Well, the people that I'm living with now have a five-year old boy, a 16 year old boy and a 17 year old girl. But I don't have any actual brothers or sisters." Camryn replied. A boom came from the attic. Phoebe looked confused as she stood up.
"Cole?" Phoebe called, "Cole?" She called again. Camryn looked toward the stairs.
"That's not uncle Cole." Camryn said, looking back at Phoebe. "That is SO not uncle Cole."
"How do you know?" Phoebe said, getting a little scared.
"I just know. I can shimmer you up there if you want me too." Camryn offered, standing up.
"Uh, yeah, sure." Phoebe said, grabbing Camryn's hand, still holding Melinda. Camryn shimmered the three of them up to the attic, where it was pitch black. Phoebe looked around, but not even the streetlights were on. Camryn stood beside Phoebe, and let a fireball hover in her hand, which was big enough to slightly light enough of the attic to see a demon with bold blue eyes staring at Phoebe and Melinda. Camryn let the fireball go, and it hit the demon, knocking him into the wall behind the Book Of Shadows. He quickly found his feet, and jumped to them. He fired and energy ball at Camryn, but she levitated to avoid it.
While in mid-air she kicked the demon, and sent him flying back into the same wall. He got up again, but before he could do anything else, Camryn let out a stream of ice, which immediately killed the demon. Phoebe had a look on her face that almost read 'how the hell did you do that?'
"Wow, you certainly know how to use your powers." Phoebe admitted, a little shaken up.
"Practice, lots of practice, too much practice." Camryn reassured, her attention now drawn to the Book of Shadows. Phoebe watched carefully, as Camryn stood over the book reading it.
"I think I'm on page three hundred and thirty four in here." Camryn said.
"Lets see," Phoebe opened the book, and turned to page 334. The page happened to be the same page that was barley legible that they had seen earlier.
"I think so." Phoebe said, squinting to read the book. Melinda pinched Phoebe's nose, and Phoebe looked back at Melinda. Camryn waved her hand over the book, and now the page was completely flawless. Cole burst through the attic door, and immediately went to Phoebe's side.
"Is everything ok, what happened?" Cole asked, looking from Phoebe to Camryn.
"A demon just attacked, I think he wanted Melinda." Phoebe replied. Camryn checked the black watch that was around her wrist.
"I should probably go, I have to wake up in three hours." Camryn exclaimed looking at Cole and Phoebe.
"Ok, you can shimmer right?" Phoebe asked, shifting her weight to her left foot. Camryn nodded. Cole walked toward Camryn.
"You can talk to me anytime, ok?" Cole cleared up. Camryn nodded.
"I know, I'll probably stop by tomorrow or the next day it it's ok with-"
"It's fine, you can help us fight demons!" Phoebe said facetiously, but ment what she said. Camryn laughed.
"Ok, bye." Camryn said right before she shimmered out.
A/N: how is it? Be honest! PLEASE REWIEV! Thanks to Komillia for helping me out! Am I doing better?
