THE CHARMED
Chapter 2: "Okay, Who Invited A Darklighter Into the Manor?"
Rachel lie on the ground, the knife still in her, as her siblings looked on with petrified expressions.
"Um, Adam?" Arielle questioned.
"Yes?" Adam said shakily.
"WHAT THE HELL DO WE DO NOW!" Arielle yelled back
"I don't know!" Adam answered hopelessly.
"Use your power! You're the telekinetic one!" Arielle called back.
"But I don't know how!" Adam said.
"Well I can't help you there. I don't have an attack power like you do. You're offense, I'm defense." Arielle answered.
Adam stared and concentrated on the knife in Rachel's chest. With the squint of his eyes and a left turn motion of his head, the knife lifted out of her chest and flew towards Adam and Arielle. They ducked.
"Jesus Christ Adam! Watch where you throw knives!"
"Sorry!"
The two rambled on but got distracted when they heard twinkling noises. Five shimmering blue lights appeared in their living room, and 5 bodies became visible. There was 3 men, 2 women, including 1 teenage girl.
"Okay two questions! 1) Who are you? And 2) Why is my power so boring compared to yours?" Arielle stated.
"Just answer question one and ignore her" Adam said hastily.
"I am your whitelighter," one of the men said.
"What do you mean YOU? Ignore him" said one of the women whitelighters. "I am YOUR whitelighter"
The whitelighters got into a big argument over who was the new Charmed whitelighters. The cursed at each other and even pushed. The only one who stayed mature was the shy, teenage whitelighter.
"Stop it. All of you!" Adam yelled. "Someone just explain what a whitelighter is"
One woman stepped forward and replied "We are guardians of future whitelighters and witches. We also have healing powers. It seemed the Elders didn't assign you guys a whitelighter yet so we are all fighting over the job."
"I'm YOUR WHITELIGHTER!" the loudest man said in a tantrum.
"Not with that attitude your not!" Arielle yelled back.
The fighting broke out once more between the whitelighters. The teenage girl was still silent.
"SHUT UP!" Adam yelled at the top of his lungs.
The whitelighters turned to him as he spoke "WILL ONE OF YOU JUST SAVE MY SISTER!"
The teenage girl stepped forward and laid her hand over Rachel's wound. Yellow light streamed from her hand onto the wound. The wound quickly healed and Rachel regained consciousness!
"Ugh what happe..WOAH" Rachel said alarmingly as she broke the middle of her sentence.
"No time to explain now. Go to the Book of Shadows and read about whitelighters." Arielle said.
Rachel did just so. As she did 5 dark shimmering lights appeared in the living room. There were 3 men and 2 women once again. They were all armed with crossbows. One of the mysterious men shot his arrow. With fast reaction, Rachel threw her hands up. All was frozen except for the Charmed ones. Their powers were growing stronger quickly, because no one had unfroze without warning.
"Okay" Rachel said holding the Book of Shadows. "I'm guessing these are the darklighters. They are mentioned in here as the hunters of the whitelighters. They use powerful magic blasts and poisonous arrows to kill."
"That exclaims things" said Adam rolling his eyes.
"Well what do we do about this! There is too many of them." Rachel asked impatiently.
"Well flip to the darklighter page. It should tell us how to get rid of them" Arielle suggested.
"It doesn't say much. Whitelighters can kill the darklighters and we can create spells to vanquish them." Rachel said.
"We can write our own spells?" Arielle questioned.
"Guess so!" Rachel said.
Time run out. Last time Rachel used her freezing power, it lasted for one minute. This time it lasted five minutes. Five minutes too short, because the arrow darted right into the loud whitelighter.
"CRAP!" Adam yelled.
All the whitelighters orbed out except for the teenage girl and the whitelighter with the poisonous arrow inside his chest. Adam turned to the darklighters and with a squint of his eyes, all the darklighters flew out from their footing and slammed into the walls. Rachel froze them again.
"Okay, we got to act fast!" Rachel yelled.
"Rachel! I got an idea! Do you think you can unfreeze the whitelighter girl?" Adam asked.
"Maybe." Rachel said unreassuringly. She pointed towards the whitelighter teenager and threw her hands forward. The girl unfroze. She looked at the darklighters, still frozen. An optic blue football like shaped power went through her arms and hit the darklighters. They all unfroze and screamed as Adam read the quick spell he wrote down.
"You entered our Manor. Now please go. Darklighters in our house. May you exit as quick as a mouse!" "THAT WAS A DUMB SPELL!" Rachel yelled.
The darklighters screamed in agony as they shrunk. They sprouted hair and tails. The fierce darklighters were now tiny mice. Adam squinted for the manor to open and telekinetically threw the mice out of the house.
"Is that supposed to happen?" Adam said.
"Well you told them to become mice." Rachel answered. "We'll just write that spell in the Book of Shadows as the spell of Micery?"
The girl turned to them. "I'm Christina."
Adam looked at Christina, "Well since you're the only one who can keep their mouth shut, why don't you be our whitelighter."
"Works for me!" Christina said. The girl looked about their ages anyway, and it would be nice having another friend around.
The injured whitelighter unfroze as Christina ran to tend to him. Arielle put her hand on his leg to comfort him when she got a premonition. She saw the whitelighter throw a knife at Rachel. It was the same guy that threw it at her yesterday.
"Stay away from him!" Arielle said.
It was too late. Christina healed the injured man. He stood up and shape shifted into the demon that attacked Rachel yesterday.
"Thank you!" he said sinisterly. And with a blink of his eyes, he vanished.
The group of four looked at each other. They were in for more than they expected.
"Rachel." Adam said.
Rachel cut him off, "Yes I know. Time to look in the Book of Shadows."
Arielle held her hand over the open book and yelled "Shape shifter!"
The book stopped on the page with the demon Dantalion.
"That doesn't look a thing like him!" Rachel complained.
Arielle turned the page.
"BINGO!" Adam said with glee. "That's our demon."
The page read: Coris: Shape shifting Demon
His father, Dantalion, was killed by the Charmed Ones.
He now stalks witches in revenge for his father's death
Coris has the ability to shape shift and take on one power of the human he is shape shifting into.
Vanquish not yet written.
"Okay so we do we just have to summon him and vanquish?" Rachel asked Christina.
"Maybe. The only thing I am worried about is if he transforms to a witch with the power of deflection."
"Unless..What if we summoned him and Rachel froze him. Then we did the spell?" Arielle asked.
"Could work" Adam said. "Is there a way we can find him?"
"Yes there is." Rachel said. "I saw mom doing something one day and I don't think I realize what she was doing. Get out a map of San Francisco. It should be in the top draw next to the clock. Bring the jewel attached to the string with it."
Adam opened the cabinet and brought the items over telekinetically. Arielle gave him a stern stare for using his power for such a dumb reason.
"Can you blame me?" Adam asked.
Rachel tangled the jewel over the map repeating ,"Find Coris."
The jewel didn't work. Coris was not in the region.
"Why don't we just try and summon him" Arielle asked.
"Fine with me, but you better do the summoning." Adam answered quickly.
Arielle got out a paper and pen and repeated her spell: "Traveling as fast as the speed of light. Help me summon my biggest fright. Shape shifting demon far and near. Bring the demon Coris here!"
Coris appeared out of nowhere and fell to the ground.
"So you finally learned how to use some spells eh?" he said rudely.
Adam quickly used his mind to throw Coris across the Manor living room. BANG! Coris got up, looking extremely mad. He gave a sinister laugh and shape shifted into an exact replica of Adam. He then blinked, a way demons transport themselves, next to Adam.
Adam yelled, "Quick write a vanquish!"
Coris, who now looked exactly like Adam, used telekinesis to throw Christina. However she was to quick for him and orbed. Coris turned to Adam and used Adam's power against him. Adam went flying through the room. He got up and used a counter attack. Coris and Adam were now into a huge brawl and no one could tell who was who.
Rachel yelled, "Okay I made a vanquish!" She realized something was missing. "Crap I need a potion." She turned to the two Adam's and froze them.
"Why did both Adams freeze?" Arielle asked.
"Uhh..I think I may have performed a spell earlier why you two weren't looking to give us good luck. It backfired. I guess you cant do spells for your own personal reasons." Rachel replied.
Arielle shrugged. "When did this happen?"
"I don't know. I whispered it when the dark lighters showed up."
"Okay, we do not have much time! Look up Dantalion's potion vanquish and make it for Coris!" Rachel yelled.
Arielle and Rachel got right to the potion mixing different herbs, roots, and even some rabbit ears. The only thing left was blood from Coris.
Rachel took a knife. "Which one do I prick?" she asked.
"Prick both their blood. Adam deserves it anyway" Arielle chuckled.
"We can't mix their blood" Rachel stated. She unfroze both of them and yelled "WAIT!"
Both Adams turned to her.
"Okay you two. Answer me this. Who is a bigger complainer, Arielle or me?" she said.
One of the Adam's answered quickly, "Arielle!"
Rachel turned to Arielle who was looking awfully pissed, "That's our Adam!" Rachel turned to Coris and froze him. She then took the knife and pricked his arm. The blood caught on the knife and she dipped it into a potion. She poured the potion into a mini bottle.
"Ready for the spell Arielle?" Rachel asked.
"But of course," Arielle said, now smiling. She read the spell: Demon Coris
The pain you caused
You now will know We vanquish you demon Be Gone, Go!
Rachel threw the potion at Coris who unfroze. He screamed in agony. It was all over within 5 seconds. Coris was gone, now in a pile of ashes.
The group looked at each other. Coris was gone. All was right. Right?
"Guys this witch stuff may be harder than we thought. I mean with mom gone, we have to learn all this by ourselves." Adam said.
"Yeah but we are too weak to go after the Trilliance. Even if we are supposed to bring the end of the next Source." Arielle informed.
"Demons will have to keep coming then. "Rachel smiled.
Just then, a chime sound was heard.
"Ugh I got to go guys," Christina said, "I have a new claim that I have to help out. Don't worry, I'll be back to inform you of what will need to be done."
With that, Christina orbed out of the Manor.
"I want to orb!" Arielle said hastily.
Adam just smiled. "Who knows. Maybe you will." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________ IN ANOTHER WORLD:
"Haha. So Coris failed? Looks like I will have to do everything for myself. The spell is almost ready. Soon it will be time to strip the Charmed Ones powers." The Evil Priestess looked at the potion that could change everything. The Charmed Ones would be in for another roller coaster ride!
