A/N: Thank you to my reviewers! You guys rule and make me feel so special. You all deserve hugs! And sugar too! Enjoy the story. I'm sorry that I didn't get this out very quickly. School is crappy. Bleck. Well, go yell at me in a review if you're so mad about it. Go on. Let off that steam.

This ************************************************ means change of place and this *  *  * means a flash back.

Disclaimer: Amazingly and surprisingly, it doesn't belong to me. It belongs to J.K. Rowling, Scholastic Books, and Warner Brothers. It belongs to other people as well, I think, but I can't remember them at the moment. I do not own the name Vannda Ra because, as my friend tells me, it comes from a Star Wars book. I do happen to own Kai, Lizi, and Toni as well as various family members of theirs. Well, maybe not Kai, Lizi, and Toni since they're based on actual people but still. Anyways, just don't sue me, ok?

The Prophecy of Eight

            "Welcome to Chez Sidhe. We hope that you will enjoy your stay and that if you need anything, you won't hesitate to ask. Is there anything I can do for you?"

            "Yeah Kai, you can cut the crap. It's not like we haven't been here before."

            "Fine Lizi, ruin it for me why don't you."

            "Will you two stop it? You are about to give me a migraine."

            "Sorry Mrs. Sidhe," chorused the two girls. Vannda Ra Sidhe sighed and thought, 'This is going to be a long five weeks.' Instead of saying that, she said,

            "It's alright girls. Now, Kai, why don't you show them to their rooms and then you can come downstairs for some food. That is, unless you want to just stay up there and have some girl time?"

            "Sure mom. Sure, we'll just go up there and talk about boys, make-up, and the latest fashions when we could be playing quidditch in the field or planning pranks. Do you know me at all?"

            "Well I would try to get to know you if you tried to be a normal girl so that I could try to be a normal mother and take you shopping and teach you about make-up and let you cry on my shoulder when you first got your heart broken but no. You have to go and become friends with these girls who not only accept the way you are but they also encourage it. I swear you are your father's child through and through." Anyone who was anyone could see that Mrs. Sidhe was a mother who would love to have a girl to dress up but it would take someone a bit more skilled at reading people to see that Kai was furious. On the outside she may have been calm but on the inside, well, her emotions were like a swirling whirlwind of rage. That's something that you may not want to mess with. In a deadly calm voice that made the other three girls wince Kai spoke,

            "Why can't you just accept me the way I am? I may not be your perfect child but I believe that the thing that matters is that I am yours. You make no effort whatsoever to get to know me and you don't even pay attention to any of my results in school. Did you know that I got 9 O's on my O. W. L.'s this year? No, you didn't, did you. Because you cannot accept the fact that you could just maybe be proud of me. Me, your defaulting daughter. If you think I'm so much like my father, then I guess I'll go to him. He actually had hope that we might learn to get along but now I guess that I'll have to tell him that there is not a hope, not a thing in the world that could make us get along. Anything short of a complete crisis would be useless. Goodbye Vannda Ra. Good luck." Kai raced up the stairs before anyone could stop her and, from the sounds coming out of her open window, started throwing all the things in her room into her trunk. Which wasn't very much. The next thing that the spectators saw was a figure on what looked to be a broomstick rising into the air and flying out of sight.

            "Lily, I do believe that she's leaving without us."

            "I agree Lizi. Toni, should we follow her?"

            "I do believe that we should. We can't just leave her out there all alone, now can we?"

            "Nope. So that is why I vote that we should go after her. All in favor say aye."

            "Aye."

            "Excellent. Shall we go?"

            "We shall."

            "Mrs. Sidhe, it was lovely to see you again and though I don't think that it is going to happen, I can hardly wait with the excitement of being able to see you again. Oh, just a tip Mrs. Sidhe. You might want to take some parenting classes. I think that they could definitely help. Toodles." As Lizi finished her last sentence, the three girls rose off into the air on two broomsticks that they had been pulling out of their trunks and flew off in the same direction that their friend had, leaving a very stunned and ruffled Vannda Ra Sidhe standing in the doorway of the big Victorian age house that she called home.  There were only two broomsticks because Toni had to fly with Lily in order to keep from falling off. Toni was not, to put it mildly, the best on a broomstick. The other three girls were chasers on the Gryffindor quidditch team but Toni hadn't even been able to get off the ground during her first year flying lessons.

*****************************************************************

            Kai Sidhe flew into the breeze, not really caring where she was going. Sure she knew that her mother wasn't happy with the way that she was but she didn't have to get huffed up about one thing. This had been a reoccurring problem and Kai knew something had to be done. That's why last year she had contacted her father, whom she hadn't seen in years because her parents were divorced and Kai and Shaun Sidhe only communicated by letters, and asked if she could get to know him better by staying the holidays at his home. They had gotten along very well and Kai had eventually brought up the subject of her staying there every holiday and leaving her mother's care. He had agreed on the condition that she would try to make friends with her mother but, obviously, that didn't work out too well. Now she just needed to blow off some steam and then fly back to her friends who had most likely followed her and off to her fathers house she would go.

            As she flew on, she thought of one of the main reasons that she and her mother didn't get along well. Her powers. Not her witchcraft but her honest to goodness powers that sometimes seemed like a curse to their handlers. This was the power that she, Lily, Lizi, and Toni shared. Well, I can't exactly say shared because they had different branches of this power. She had an odd, wind related, elemental magic while Lily, Lizi, and Toni had fire, earth, and water respectively. Thinking back, she could pinpoint the exact time in her memory that she and her friends became known to another as co-workers and prisoners in the same prophecy.

*  *  *

            It all started in their fourth year and, as these things usually do, it started out gradually but in very odd and outlandish ways.

            Now even though Kai, Lizi, Lily, and Toni all lived in the same dormitory, they weren't the tight knitted bunch that they are now. No, Lily and Toni were worst enemies, which wasn't good for living in the same house during the holidays. Usually, Kai would hang out with Remus when he wasn't with the Marauders and Toni had friends in Ravenclaw. Lily and Lizi usually hung out together but they weren't the best of friends. Not like they are now.

            Anyways, the four girls were all sitting in the Gryffindor common room; Toni was sitting doing her homework, Lily and Lizi were doing their homework together, and Kai was sitting next to Remus, who was alone because Sirius and James had detention, again. Although Kai had to beat a hasty retreat because at that moment, James Potter and Sirius Black came plodding into the common room.

            "Remus, I hate you." Said Sirius.

            "Why me?" asked a confused Remus.

            "Because you get out of trouble so easily you prat!"

            "Well, maybe if you didn't laugh your heads off every time we did a prank and make snide comments then maybe you wouldn't have to become more familiar with the bloody stairs while you wash them."

            "Sod off you git. Stop being so damn smart." Remus stuck his tongue out at Sirius and James shook his head.

'Why in the world do I hang out with such juvenile people?' he asked himself. 'Maybe it's because they're your best friends?' 'That could be it.' His eyes scanned the room to find something else to do while his friends bickered and they lit up when they fell on someone. It had been a while since he had tortured Evans. He walked over to where she and his sister were sitting by the fire with his hands stuck is his pockets.

When Lizi glanced up to see her brother coming towards her, all of her warning bells, sirens, flutes, drums, and flashing red lights went off.

"Shit."

"What is it?" Obviously, Lily had not noticed James Potter strolling over. In fact, she didn't notice until a few beats later when she heard a voice behind her say,

"Lily doll!" She groaned and replied,

"Go away Potter. I don't feel like fighting tonight. I'm tired enough as it is."

"I'm just trying to have a friendly conversation Fire Brand."

"Stop it with the pet names Jim-Jim."

"Don't call me that!"

"Well you were calling me names! I thought I'd return the favor!" Lizi rolled her eyes at her brother and her friend. What childish people.

The two people kept on throwing stupid names that were getting worse and worse and no one notice the fire in the fireplace getting higher and higher although no wood was added to the flames.

A/N: Finally, another chapter. And we're finally getting into the power thingy too. *does the happy dance* Yay! I'm in my happy place! (Megan… :P Nyah nyah!) Ok. I'm going to go brainstorm more ideas so, in the meantime, review! You know you want to! I'm going to go brainstorm, while doing a lab report, while listening to music, and while keeping my feet warm. Look at me multitask! Toodles.
