Chapter Seven
Chris paced as he scribbled on a pad of paper, but then he quickly scratched out what he had just written. He groaned and plopped back down onto the couch. "It's no use. I thought I could remember it, but I just… can't." He rubbed his frustrated face with his hands.
"Don't give up! We need that spell." Paige said.
"Well, that's where we have a problem. I can't remember it. At all!"
"Not eve a word?" Piper asked.
"I remember the last word… It's 'mother'. But, that's it." He let out an exasperated sigh.
"It's okay, sweetie… Take a break. You'll think of it." She said as she lightly stroked his brown hair.
"I just wish I could remember it. It's like it's been totally wiped from my mind."
"Don't strain yourself and Paige, don't push him!" Piper said, sternly.
"Fine." She gave in.
The small group, minus Daryl, rested together, until a cloud of black smoke appeared in the room and a demon emerged from it. War.
He fired energy balls at Chris, barely missing both him and Piper. "Dad, get Mom out of here!" Chris yelled.
"Like hell! I'm not going anywhere!" She yelled back.
"Fine! Then, get down!" Chris then tipped the couch over, protecting both him and Piper. He peered over the top of his shield and motioned for War to be sent across the living room, crashing into the grandfather clock.
War quickly stood up and fired energy ball after energy ball at Chris and Piper, Paige, Phoebe, and Leo helpless to stop them. But, they didn't hit Chris, Piper, or anywhere around them. They blew up right before they even came close. It was as if there was a shield surrounding them. Leo thought that it could have been Wyatt's doing, but he wasn't that powerful yet.
"No!" War cried out as he frantically looked around the room as if expecting to find something. He didn't make any more moves as he glared at nothing in particular. "Where are you?" The Charmed Ones gave him a puzzled look, wondering who he was talking to.
There was movement in the doorway, where a woman shimmered into view. She was clad in a black leather, one-piece suit. She looked very menacing, except for the fact that she wore a green pendant around her neck. "Over here." She said, evilly.
Phoebe recognized the girl. "Kira?" She asked. "You're a demon?"
"Not exactly, but there's no time to explain." She turned to War. "What the matter War? Too much of a man to be without your brothers?" She asked.
He glared at her. "You don't have a chance!" He said. "You're only a human."
"She raised a single eyebrow. "That's what you think." She tore off the pendant and threw it toward Chris. "Read this!" She said as she dodged an energy ball by doing a very skilled back flip.
Chris caught the pendant and gave it a puzzled look. "What?"
"Read the inscription! It's what you've been trying to find!"
He looked at the back of the pendant to see a spell on the back of it.
"'Peace is all around.
It's something that can't be bound.
Bring her here, our earthly queen.
Bring her now, from sight unseen.'"
War had thrown energy ball after energy ball at Kira, but they stopped just inches from her face and just disappeared from sight.
The pendant flew out of Chris's hand and placed itself back upon Kira's neck. She was then engulfed in a bright green light. All of the others had to shield their eyes from how bright the light was.
When the light faded, they all looked back at her and saw that she had changed. The black latex had transformed into green leather. The one-piece suit had now become two pieces: the top, showing her muscular stomach and the pants were very tight looking and they accented her leg muscles. Her hair was a brighter, golden blond, while her eyes stood out most about her. When she was human, they were very dark, but now sparkling and very bright. She was very different looking, seeing as though before she didn't look as though she would have been able to lift a five-pound bag of sugar. But, now it looked as though she could bench press a school bus.
Chris's eyes went wide as he saw the woman in front of him. But, he did notice a smile come to War's lips as he saw her.
"Well, I was wondering when you'd show up." He said.
When she spoke again, her voice had become different. She now had a British accent to add to her change. "Were you? Yet, I see that you still haven't asked your brothers to help you." She said.
"I don't need their help! I can defeat you, myself!" He growled.
"You weren't able to before, so what makes you think you can, now?" Those words made him get very angry, which made him start to throw energy ball after energy ball at her. She didn't even try to move out of the way. She just held her right hand straight out, her palm facing him and the balls disappeared. "Is that all you've got?" She asked.
He gritted his teeth at her and formed a more powerful energy ball. "I'm tired of playing these games, Peace. Give in now or this planet is doomed."
She didn't show any sign that it bothered her. In fact, she gave him a smile. "You can't do it, War. You know you can't."
"I can and I will!" He said to her.
"You're not powerful enough to destroy the world on your won… Isn't that right, guys?" The Charmed Ones gave her puzzled looks as they wondered who she was talking to. But, before their very eyes, three more men appeared. She looked at each of them in turn. "Now, I like these odds."
"You can't destroy us, Peace. Not by yourself." Famine said to her.
"You know, you are so right. But, I'm not going to destroy you. See, I'm not like you. With you four gone, the balance will shift and we can't have that now, can we?"
"You can't imprison, either. You're not that powerful." He said, again.
"No. I'm not. But, I am smarter." She said kicking a crystal across the room and landing at Famine's feet. He was surprised to see the crystal cage forming around him and his brothers.
"You can't do this! We will return!" War shouted.
"And we'll be ready for you." She said as three different colored, swirling lights joined her by her side. One was red, another was blue, and the last was purple. She noticed the eyes of the Horsemen go wide as the three lights merged with her, forming a very bright, white light. "Tell father nice try, but he won't get rid of us that easily." Pease spoke up before the Horsemen were engulfed in the light and they disappeared.
The white light faded around Peace as the other three lights left her and floated upward only to disappear.
Okay, so I admit that I'm not the best with rhyming and spells (that's why I don't write poetry (yes I know that poetry doesn't have to rhyne).). But, please read and review. I'd like to know what you think.
