Author's Note: it's Shawna



"Hello?" I called. There has to be someone here, I just checked it a few minutes ago. Oh wait, Laura fast forwarded time...that was more like an hour and a half ago. "Laura? You search those rooms." I pointed to my left. "I'll check these."

"Oh, alright." I let go of her hand and started for the doors on my right.

I opened the first door, hands ready. There was nothing in there. Just a broken TV. Looks like there was a fight or something.

I opened the second door, it was the kitchen, and again, there was no one. I started thinking about Laura's new power as I opened the third door.

I know I have telekinesis and freezing time...but I would like another power too... "Hmph..."

In the room was a canopy bed, but I couldn't see the top of the bed. Jumping, I checked the top. Nothing. I waited to go down. Never did.

"LAURA!" I screamed.

"What?!" She asked coming in. She looked around. "Shawna, this isn't funny. Where are you?"

I looked for a word to describe, but all that came out was "Up?"

And up she looked. "How in..."

"Just help!"

"Alright!" She pulled on my feet and I got down. "How did you?"

"I was like floating..." I smiled. "I don't want your power anymore!" I declared.

"Not fair! I wanna fly! How'd you do it?" she asked eagerly.

"I just jumped...Did you find anyone in your rooms?"

"Nah empty..."

"Damn! How did they know?"

"I don't know...Let's go home and try scrying for her again, ok?"

I started chewing my lip from nervousness. "Alright..."



I drove home, no traffic this time and we checked The Special Bond. Nothing. So we scryed for her. Nothing.

"Argh! How can our dad be so freaking mean?" I slammed the door shut.

"Calm down Shawna. Here's some water." She handed me a cup.

"Thanks."

"Now-" She gasped.

I turned around. "What's wrong?" I asked worriedly.

"I-I touched the doorknob and saw him..." She pointed behind me and there was some weird lights. When the lights went away, there was a man standing there.

"What do you want?" I rose to my feet and stood in a fighting position.

He smiled and reached out with his hand. He put my hands down. "I'm not here to hurt you Shawna. I'm here to help. My name is Ben. I'll be your whitelighter for the rest of your life." He was English.

"Whitelighter?"

He nodded and his smile turned into a frown. "Quickly, there's no time. We have to save Carmen now!" He grabbed my hand and Laura's hand and there were more lights. Then we were in what looked like Hell.
