Amy and Lila landed in a hep at the feet of a stern unsmiling matron, with steel gray hair. Amy looked up and cringed. Lila seeing Amy cringe, looked up and scrambled to her feet. Feeling like little girls facing the headmistress, they smiled sheepishly. The matron still unsmiling, just stared back. Amy, fast losing what little patience she had, putt her hands on her hips and was opining her mouth to speak when Leo arrived. Seeing Amy about to blow, he hastened to intervene.
"This is Mistress Daylight." Open mouthed the girls gaped. The name couldn't have been more wrong. Leo slightly nudged the girls, to remind them of their manners. It didn't work. They shut their mouths but their eye's were still the size of dinner plates. At the arrival of Leo the matrons look had darkened with contempt, now she spoke coldly.
"Am I to assume, that these are yours and the witches . . . Offspring?" Leo's attitude changed instantly. He never got a chance to speak, Amy's eyes narrowed and she spoke ominously light.
"Offspring?" Leo sighed and shook his head.*Oh well she never liked me anyway*
"That's what you are. Special rules were made for your parents, that should not have happened." She paused and sighed. "But that's neither here nor there, we have more important things to do. You're to wait, till you're called. Then I will escort you to the head chamber." At that she led them silently down to the room they were to stay till they were called. She opened the door, then promptly turned on heel and marched off.
"Wow, She certainly likes us!" Lila said dryly.
"It's not that she doesn't like you, it's just that the rules were broken when your mom and I married. She's not the only one to think that the rules should have been enforced more than they were."
"What do you mean? They were! I seem to recall being told that you tried twice to do the deed in secret before they finally relented. And then things still screwed up! Although from what I heard, it turned out better then was planed." Leo smiled. Mistress Daylight walked into the room.
"You're to come with me, now." She said then walked out the door not making sure they followed. The girls exchanged a quick look then looked to Leo, who shrugged and motioned them to follow. They were led into a dim room with what looked like clouds for walls. Amy turned around observing the room.
"Looks like we just landed our selves on cloud nine. Or is it cloud eight?" She quipped. Lila laughed softly but Leo didn't let her get away with the remark.
"Hey! Not only is that disrespectful, but it's born of ignorance, that comments like that come into existence. Don't be so quick to judge that what you don't know." Amy rolled here eyes and putt her hand on her hips. Trumpets sounded and Amy whirled around.
"Oh shit."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"How dare she threaten me! Then have the gall to tell me what to do!" Prue fumed as she paced the floor. Phoebe watched Prue pace, before speaking.
"She was just defending her Father, Prue. Why can't you be more open to Cole? He's trying to be part of the family and make everyone happy. Maybe if you stopped accusing him of every bad thing that happens you two could get along."
"Get along?! Oh so I'm just supposed to forget that he tried to kill us?! Or that he's a demon? I don't
think so."
"Why don't we just sit down and discuss this like normal people." Piper said leading Prue to the other couch.
"Oh, so you're taking her side now?" Prue rounded on Piper. "Have you forgotten that he tried to kill us? Are you willing to just forgive all that he's done to our family?"
"I'm not taking anyone's side, Prue! I just think that we should Cole a fighting chance to prove himself. And the fact that their child from the future is here, speaks pretty highly for him."
"I don't believe this! You're just going to let him walk into our lives and destroy us!" Prue turned to Phoebe. "Look I know your sleeping with him...."
"What's that got to do with anything!? We're talking about you giving the man I love a break! Whether or not I'm sleeping with him has nothing to do with it!"
"It has everything to do with it!" Prue yelled. Outside the wind picked up, swirling dry leaves and dead branches twister style. As the argument inside became more heated, the wind outside became more violent.
"You know, Prue, all you ever do is tell me what a screw up I am! How everything I ever do is wrong! Well guess what? I don't care!"
"That's just it, Phoebe! You never care! Stop acting like a child and take some responsibly!" The wind blasted the windows, scattering glass across the room. A collective screech went up as the girls spun away from the sailing razorblade shards of colored glass. Prue was the first to recover.
"What the HELL was that?" She snapped, glancing at the scattered glass littering the floor. A bellow, sounding like a wounded animal, reverberated from the doorway causing them to spin around. Standing at the door was a huge, over muscled, blue man looking demon.
"Death to the Charmed Ones!" Piper peaked from behind Prue.
"Oooooh, not Good!" she said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Phoebe flipped pages as fast as she could muttering, while hearing her name being yelled from below.
"Wind demon, wind demon . . . " Amy ran through the attic door.
"We just got back. Look under Shax, not wind demon. There! Lets go!" Phoebe grabbed the book and ran to the stairs only to find Piper and Prue lying on the floor.
"Oh my God!" Phoebe went to help when Amy grabbed her arm.
"NO! You'll only make it worse! DAD!" Amy screamed. Leo appeared at the bottom of the stairs, taking in the state of the hall he immediately sough out Piper. Managing to heal both Prue and Piper he sighed in relief.
Prue scrambled up.
"Phoebe do you have a spell to vanquish him?" Phoebe handed the spell over. "Good. Piper and I are going after him. Phoebe you stay behind in case this has something to do with Cole." Phoebe bristled.
"You always...."
"Look we don't have time to discus this now! We'll talk about it later. For what it's worth, I hope I'm not right." with that they left. Phoebe just stared after them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Where is he? I know he can down this way!" Piper complained. Prue walking beside her sighed.
"All we can do is keep looking. Come on." They turned a bush and tree covered corner that led into an ally.
"Look! There he is! Quick the spell!" Piper demanded. Prue fumbled with the peace of paper, unfolding it they chanted.
"Evil wind that blows, That which forms below, No longer may you dwell, Death takes you with this spell." With a blast of wind the demon blew up.
"Let's go home and see what Phoebe has." Prue suggested. They turned and headed for home.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey did ya get that?!"
"Yah, I got it. Wonder what kind of shit just went down."
"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out. Come on lets go."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What the hell is this?!"
"Just look at it Dave!"
"This had better be good Elana, or it's your ass!" The brunet split into a grin.
"Great! Your gonna love this! Ok pop it in."
"Holy Shit."
