Chapter 2: Powers of One
Dalton stood in between two other girls that looked only the slightest bit like her. One of them was around 5 feet tall with shoulder length brown hair that was pulled back into a ponytail, she had hazel eyes and was wearing a pair of dark jeans and plain navy v-neck t-shirt with a pink heart embroidered on the right side, she was wearing white and navy Adidas and she had a suspicious look on her face as she looked at the two vampires that were unable to come in.
The girl to the left of Dalton looked slightly older and had deep auburn hair that hung loosely in curls, deep brown eyes, a tight black sleeveless top, slightly baggy black pants with a silver buckle and black Chuck Taylor's. "Who are they?" She asked suspiciously.
"Angel, come in. Danielle, Dakota, this is my new boss." Dalton explained.
"He's a vampire?" The girl with the auburn hair asked, stepping in front of Dalton.
"Knock it off Dakota." Dalton rolled her eyes. She looked back toward the demons frozen in their living room. "So, how did this happen?" She looked at her sisters.
"Are you going to invite me in? I was told to come here and kill these things." Spike asked leaning on the invisible barrier keeping him from coming in the Slayer's apartment.
"So... I can take care of this, go home." Dalton said. The vampire shrugged and followed his command.
"About the frozen demons, that was my fault, I think." The girl with the ponytail told her blonde sister. "Me and Dakota were getting ready to watch a movie, cause we were waiting up for you and those demons came in and I got scared and threw my hands up and everything froze except for me and Dakota." She explained.
Dalton and Dakota exchanged looks, then the Slayer looked back at Angel, "Mom's powers." She said quietly. She stared up into Angel's brown eyes, "We found her upstairs in the room with her magic book and candles were all over the place." She told her boss.
"You don't think she did the transfer spell, do you?" Dakota asked.
"How else do you think I froze those things?" Danielle looked at her oldest sister. Dakota sighed then the three sisters began looking at the frozen demons. "I wonder if one of us can kill them." She said, looking at the mark on there foreheads.
"I know I can, just gimmie something pointy." Dalton stepped toward the demons, redrawing her knife.
"No Dalton, with magic." Danielle stopped her from doing anything. Dalton put her knife back in her bag and looked at the demons. "Maybe someone else should try doing something." She suggested.
Dakota concentrated on the demon directly in front of her, she held her hands up, but nothing happened. Angel, who had remained quiet for a few minutes, suddenly screamed and Dakota, Danielle and Dalton jumped and the demon in front of Dakota exploded. "How did I just do that?"
"I scared you and the demon turned into little pieces." Angel said, stating the obvious.
"Thanks Angel." Dalton smiled sarcastically. She looked at the vampire, then at the demon in front of her, she concentrated on it really hard and suddenly the sword that was mounted on the wall lifted from it's mount and slid through the demon's body. It fell to the ground dead and the sword put it self back on the wall. "Now that was weird."
"Did you want to get the sword?" Dakota asked, looking at her little sister carefully.
"Yeah, that was the only way I could think of it to be killed so that's what I concentrated on." Dalton explained.
"So what now?" Her younger sister looked at her two older sisters and the vampire that was standing in her living room.
Dalton looked intently at the two remaining demons then at Danielle, "Could you unfreeze these?" She asked, nodding towards the demons.
"Uh, maybe?" Danielle shrugged. She held up her hands and did as she accidentally had done before, concentrated hard as she did so. She was startled when the two remaining demons unfroze. Angel took the sword from the wall and killed one of the demons. Dalton kicked the other demon as it shook itself from the surprise of being frozen. She lifted the sword a bit shakily from Angel's hands with her new powers and flung it through the last demon. The sword fell to the ground and Dalton stepped back in shock. She looked at her sisters, then at the remains of demons in her apartment.
"I can't do this." She turned and ran out of her apartment; Angel's eyes followed the Slayer carefully. She stood beside her doorway and looked up at the dark sky. "This can't be happening, not now." She said to herself.
"Dalton, are you okay?" Angel came outside and leaned in the doorway beside the Slayer.
"Honestly, what do you think? Can you think I'm okay? I was just turned into this killing machine against my will, then I was turned into this magical witch person, and my mom died less than three months ago. Am I okay? Are you on something?" The Slayer snapped, looking back up at the sky.
"Dalton, I'm sorry. I can't understand what you're going through, I've never been a Slayer, or a witch, and I killed my own mother. You can't let everything get to you." He told her.
"Why not? Why do I have to be able to handle it all? I have an older sister for that. I'm only 18, I'm not 250 something, sorry Angel I don't have all the knowledge you do. You got a lotta years on me I don't know what I'm doing."
"I don't expect you to know everything. I know your only 18; I knew that when I hired you. I don't expect you to be able to do all this at first, Dalton, tomorrow morning could you bring your sisters to work with you?"
"Why?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I want to help you, all three of you."
****
"Leave me alone..." Danielle moaned as Dakota shook her, trying to wake her up, Dakota was already dressed and ready, the oldest Adkins sister was anxious to find out what the souled vampire was going to try to do. Dalton, didn't want them to go, but Dakota had said that the three of them were going and that was it. Danielle hadn't said much about it; she had been asleep most of the time after Angel had left.
"Danielle, get up." Dakota said, shaking her harder.
"Go away!" The 17 year old swatted at her sister.
"GET UP!" Dakota threw the blanket that was covering her sister into the floor and flicked on the lights.
Danielle accidentally rolled out of bed trying to grab her blanket and she flung her head back and stared at her oldest sister. "I'm up." She growled, standing herself up and following Dakota to the kitchen where Dalton was actually reading the newspaper.
"We're going to be late aren't we?" Dalton looked up at Dakota who was pouring herself another cup of coffee.
"If Danielle doesn't hurry up we will be."
"I don't think you need anymore coffee 'Kota, it has a reversed effect on you and makes you grumpy instead of happy." Danielle smiled, as she grabbed the coffee cup out of her sister's hands. She quickly grabbed the milk off the table and poured some in the coffee.
"Great, now that you've ruined the last cup of coffee by putting that milk in it, will you please hurry up?" She asked, sitting in a chair beside Dalton.
Danielle sipped the coffee then smiled at her sister, "You expect me to hurry?" Dakota gave her an evil look and the youngest sister hurried off to her room to get ready.
20 Minutes later...
Danielle emerged from her room wearing a light pink t-shirt and dark blue jeans with white Nikes with pink swooshes. "Took ya long enough..." Dalton smiled. The middle sister was wearing skintight white pants with black pinstripes and a black camisole top with white high heels, her hair was spiral curled and her leather bag was on her shoulder. "'Kota, you gonna drive?" She asked her older sister.
"Yeah." She said, picking up her keys. She was wearing a top much like Dalton's but there was a Rolling Stones tongue screen-printed across the middle and black baggy pants with her black Chuck Taylor's. The three walked out to Dakota's black 2003 Yukon. Danielle walked quickly past Dalton and got in the front, Dalton smiled and rolled her eyes and got in the back. In less than ten minutes the Adkins sisters had arrived and parked at Wolfram & Hart.
When they walked in, Gunn was standing at Harmony's desk asking her something about a file transfer, when he saw Dalton out of the corner of his eye; he turned and looked in her direction. "Wow, there are more." He smiled.
"Gunn... These are my sisters." She smiled at her boss. "Dakota's the punk and Danielle's the one in the pink shirt." Dalton explained.
"Hey." Gunn smiled.
"Hello." Dakota smiled, looking around the office.
"Hi." Danielle smiled cheerily.
"Not that I'm complaining but why did you bring your sisters to work with you?" Gunn asked.
"Angel didn't tell you about last night?" She got a blank look. "Ever heard of the Order of Rakia?"
"Isn't that the Order that is obsessed with getting the powers of witches?"
"Yeah, well we got a visit from some demons in the Order last night. And we found out before they killed our mother she transferred her powers to us, Angel wants to help us with our new powers or something like that." Dalton explained. Gunn nodded, and Harmony looked really interested.
"So like the three of you are witches?" She asked.
"Yeah who are you?" Dalton asked.
"Harmony, Angel's secretary." She explained. "Wait a sec, I read something one time about three sister witches that were really powerful, they were called the Charmed Ones or something like that."
Dakota raised an eyebrow and was about to say something, but Angel joining the group stopped her. "Good morning everyone." Angel said, but not exactly with a full of zest tone.
"You okay Angel?" Dalton asked, noticing his lack of caring.
"Just fine." He replied. He motioned for Gunn and the three sisters to come into his office, and Dalton began to think some more carefully about the ensouled vampire. "I'm glad you all came, sit down." Angel motioned toward the chairs in front of his desk.
"Some of us were forced into it..." Danielle said quietly. So quietly that no one heard her but Dalton and Angel, Dalton smiled and Angel just continued.
"Okay, so some of you might not want to be here, but the Order of Rakia is after you." Angel said.
"Angel." Dalton interrupted him. "I have work to do." She said, not sitting the third chair.
"I know. I talked to Gunn he said I could keep you until lunch."
"What are we all doing here?" Dalton asked.
"You just inherited these powers, you don't know how to control them. And we want to keep you three safe from the Order until we know how to get rid of them—
"You can't, they just keep coming. They won't stop until they have the Adkins witch powers, then they'll just move on for more." Dalton looked into Angel's deep brown eyes.
They four people in the office heard the door open, Wesley walked in with Fred at his side, both of them holding various books. "Good morning!" Fred smiled, looking at the three sisters. "I'm Fred." She introduced herself, putting her books on Angel's desk.
"Dakota, Danielle, this is Wesley and Fred." Angel said, making sure they heard her.
"Hi." Dakota and Danielle said in unison.
"What did you find out?" Angel asked.
"We've found a lot about the Order actually and something Harmony was talking about to Spike the witches being Charmed, which actually sparked something I had read. About being Charmed, three sister, witches, it was a prophecy, about the 2 Charmed witches." Wesley told Angel
"One of us is going to die?" Dalton raised an eyebrow.
"I don't believe so." Wesley replied. "I think it would be more clear, and I don't remember the exact prophecy." He continued.
"Wes, why don't you go see if you can find it?" Angel suggested. Wesley nodded and left as quickly as he had come, but Fred stayed, putting the books down on Angel's desk.
"Thanks for coming, Angel told me about your mom, I'm really sorry. We want to stop the Order of Rakia from coming after you, we think there is a way, but it will just take some work. Until then Angel and I thought it would be good idea for the three of you to work on your powers so you can take care of anything if it does try to get you." Fred explained.
"How do you propose we do that?" Dakota asked, shifting in her seat.
"We've got some demons downstairs that one of our teams brought in from a sweep last night." Angel told them.
"Teams? Sweeps? I thought this was a law office, not a military intelligence place." Dalton said quietly but loud enough for everyone to hear her.
"Dalton." Dakota snapped.
"Sorry." The middle Adkins sister breathed.
****
"Now!" Angel yelled. His jacket was laying on the floor with his navy button up shirt, he remained in his wifebeater and black pants and black boots. He yanked yet another chain and the demon's cage fell open and it rushed out at its unlikely killers. Danielle concentrated on it and threw her hands up, freezing the whole room, except her sisters and herself. Dalton slowly walked across the room to Angel and smacked him. "Ow!" He scowled at her. "You could just poke me if you're gonna hit me that hard." The vampire said, rubbing his arm where Dalton had smacked him.
"What now chief?" Danielle smiled, looking at the frozen demon, then at the vampire across the fighting level on the close to top floor and Wolfram & Hart.
"Dakota, you try something. Dalton has Slayer strength to defend herself." The vampire commanded. Dakota focused and blew up the demons with her powers. "And since that was the last demon, that's lunch." Angel proclaimed, wiping some sweat. He had trained furiously with Dalton before the sisters practiced their powers, and she had thrown him a beating like he hadn't got in a long time. It was obvious; Dalton was full of emotion that she wouldn't talk about. "You all did great." Angel smiled, picking up his clothes and looking at the three sisters none of which had even broken a sweat except for Dalton whom was glistening lightly. She soon had her powder out of her bag, applying some to her face making her look fresh again.
"What's for lunch?" Dalton asked as the four of them got into the elevator.
"Sandwiches from that new place up the street." Angel replied.
When the four of them reentered the main lobby, the vampire was again fully clothed and when the sisters stepped out of the elevator Gunn, Fred and Wesley were waiting outside of Angel's office. "What's wrong?" Angel asked, opening the doors, everyone walked inside.
"Nothing actually." Fred smiled happily.
"I found the prophecy, it did say 2 Charmed but it meant that there are two sets of Charmed ones. The others are older and live in San Francisco." The ex-watcher explained to the witches.
"While we were trying to find this we also found out a lot about witches. They've all got this kind of watcher like person that helps them and stuff called a White Lighter, it's like an angel or something that is supposed to help protect them." Wesley explained, as if on cue a white light appeared in Angel's office and materialized into a person.
Dalton instinctively grabbed a sword off the wall and put it to the guy's throat. "What are you?" She said, acting severely cheery.
"Could ya please put the sword down?" He said, looking Dalton in her bright blue eyes.
The Slayer sighed loudly and lowered the sword. "What are you?" She asked again, this time sounding restless.
"You're the Charmed Ones right?" He asked the blonde in front of him, she nodded slowly. "I'm Brian, you're White Lighter." He told her.
"Sorry about the sword, little paranoid these days." She blushed a little.
"It's okay." He smiled. He looked a little out of place in a law office where everyone was dressed up in skirts and suits, in his white t- shirt and baggy jeans. His bleached hair was spiked up and his sapphire blue eyes shone with an excitement that Dalton could notice. He looked around the office and sensed that Angel was a vampire, he looked at him suspiciously.
"Angel's got a soul, he's a champion." Dalton smiled, looking into Brian's eyes. He looked a little confused, "Vampire, with a soul...don't tell me you've never heard of it?" He still looked confused, "Okay so maybe you haven't..."
****
Two days later...
"Are you sure you want to quit?" Gunn asked. Dalton stood in front of his desk wearing dark low rider jeans, a cherry red top with thin straps, it exposed about three inches of her tan midriff with 'South Side' written in cursive across the top.
"This isn't the best job for me anymore, well actually it would seem so because I don't have to make excuses for vanquishing demons and using magic, but you all don't need me as much as you think you do." She replied.
"You know that's not true—
Her cell phone ringing cut him off, "Sorry," She bounced her eyebrows and answered her phone, "hello? Hey, There is!! Just give me like two minutes to get home." She hung her phone up. "Sorry Gunn, tell everyone I said Bye, there's a demon at the apartment." She smiled at her former employer one last time and left the building. Minutes later Dalton arrived at the apartment she shared withed her sisters. The demon was frozen in the middle of the living room much as the last four were, "Wheee, more demons." Dalton growled. She picked up her sword that was mounted on the wall.
"Wait." Brian's voice stopped her. She turned to look at him, "Danielle wrote a vanquishing spell," Dalton handed their White Lighter her sword and stood on the left of Danielle.
"Demon hide your evil face, demon die and leave no trace." The three said in unison, the demon crumbled and the sisters looked at each other in amazement.
Brian smiled widely, "Your first vanquish." The sisters smiled, Dalton looked back at the White Lighter and smiled a smile similar to his.
"Party." Dalton shrugged.
********
A/N: So I borrowed the vanquish spell from Charmed season 2's Ex-Libris. I couldn't think of anything...... Hope you're enjoying it please review.

Dalton stood in between two other girls that looked only the slightest bit like her.

"Now!" Angel yelled. His jacket was laying on the floor with his navy button up shirt, he remained in his wifebeater and black pants and black boots.

"It's okay." He smiled. He looked a little out of place in a law office where everyone was dressed up in skirts and suits, in his white t- shirt and baggy jeans. His bleached hair was spiked up and his sapphire blue eyes shone with an excitement that Dalton could notice. He looked around the office and sensed that Angel was a vampire, he looked at him suspiciously.
"Angel's got a soul, he's a champion." Dalton smiled, looking into Brian's eyes. He looked a little confused, "Vampire, with a soul...don't tell me you've never heard of it?" He still looked confused, "Okay so maybe you haven't..."

Two days later...
"Are you sure you want to quit?" Gunn asked. Dalton stood in front of his desk wearing dark low rider jeans, a cherry red top with thin straps, it exposed about three inches of her tan midriff with 'South Side' written in cursive across the top.
"This isn't the best job for me anymore, well actually it would seem so because I don't have to make excuses for vanquishing demons and using magic, but you all don't need me as much as you think you do." She replied.
"You know that's not true—
Her cell phone ringing cut him off, "Sorry," She bounced her eyebrows and answered her phone, "hello? Hey, There is!! Just give me like two minutes to get home." She hung her phone up. "Sorry Gunn, tell everyone I said Bye, there's a demon at the apartment." She smiled at her former employer one last time and left the building. Minutes later Dalton arrived at the apartment she shared withed her sisters. The demon was frozen in the middle of the living room much as the last four were, "Wheee, more demons." Dalton growled. She picked up her sword that was mounted on the wall.
"Wait." Brian's voice stopped her. She turned to look at him, "Danielle wrote a vanquishing spell," Dalton handed their White Lighter her sword and stood on the left of Danielle.
"Demon hide your evil face, demon die and leave no trace." The three said in unison, the demon crumbled and the sisters looked at each other in amazement.
Brian smiled widely, "Your first vanquish." The sisters smiled, Dalton looked back at the White Lighter and smiled a smile similar to his.
"Party." Dalton shrugged.
