MAGICAL

TRAINING

NOTE: These Charmed characters belong to the WB and only the WB. I also don't own the plot. But I do own Travis and Melinda.

Second note: This is my own personal AU. In this alternate universe Cole and Phoebe are still married and have their son. He is twelve years old and his name is Travis. Piper and Leo are, of course, married and have their eleven-year-old daughter Melinda. Personally I like the Cole with powers. But in my story he does not turn into the demon, Belthazar (if that's the way you spell it). Also Paige is still a social worker and she has her own apartment.

Summary: Odium is tryin to get to Travis.







CHAPTER 6



That Saturday morning Travis was staring into his bathroom mirror. Suddenly something shimmered in behind him. At first he thought it was Cole. . but it wasn't. It was Odium.

"What do you want?" said Travis, turning around and facing him.

"Hey, Junior," said Odium. "Your dad make up his mind yet?"

Travis rolled his eyes. "Get real."

"I was thinking. If your dad never comes around would you like the job?"

"What?"

"Come on, kid. You're the son of one of the most powerful demons ever. They'd definitely listen to you then. Plus your powers would be unstoppable," said Odium.

"Not interested," replied Travis. "Get out of my room."

"Hey, ease up. I'm just saying that if you want you can join up. It's a pretty big proposition, kiddo. Think about it," said Odium.

"Travis," called Phoebe. Travis's doorknob began to tur.

"See you," Odium mouthed.

He shimmered out of the room as Phoebe entered. "Hi, honey. Come on. Let's get over to the manor."

"Uh, right," said Travis. "Hey, Mom, did you see anything just now?"

"Like what?"

"Nothing. Let's go."

"I don't get it, Dad. What's the big deal about making a spell that can change colors?" asked Melinda. She was in the kitchen with Leo mixing up a potion.

"Honey, you kind of suck at anything that's too complicated. Besides your mom and I just want you to practice your spells. Just in case it's necessary," Leo replied.

"I should be working on blowing things up," said Melinda.

"Like cars?"

"I didn't start it."

The Turner family shimmered in down in the basement. Phoebe headed upstairs.

"Where you going?" asked Travis.

"I'm going to tell the others we're here," said Phoebe.

"I'll go with you," said Travis.

"That's okay, Travis. Stay down here with your father." She went upstairs.

Travis turned to look at Cole. "What are we doing?" Travis asked him.

"You need to work on your magic," said Cole.

"So I'm allowed to use my energy balls now?" asked Travis.

"No. You're a WITCH, remember?"

"Blah, blah, blah."

"But you can shimmer. Just to escape a situation," said his father.

"I can already shimmer, Dad. Check it out." Travis disappeared then but reappeared in a corner of the room with a thud.

"That's where you were aiming?"

"Yeah," Travis replied. Cole glared at him. "Okay, no."

"Travis, you have to focus on one particular area."

"Like where?"

"Try the top of the stairs," Cole replied.

"Okay." Travis landed on his back across the stairs. He stood up. "I was close, Dad."

"You wish," said Cole. Travis sighed aggrivatedly. "I'm just trying to keep you safe."

"I know," said Travis, rolling his eyes.

Just then they heard something go off upstairs. Cole shimmered the two of them up to the kitchen. Red goo had exploded all over the stove.

"What happened?" Cole asked.

"Okay, there's one good thing about this," said Melinda. "I changed the color of the potion from yellow to red."





A/N: Even I'm laughing at that last line. I'll load more after school. I'd do it during school but I don't have computer class anymore. Please read and review.
