Chapter 6: The First Battle
In Penny's Room At Magic School:
Rain poured down, pounding the roof and pelting the windows. It made so much noise I couldn't go to sleep. I kept thinking about Uncle Leo. Where could he be? I tried calling him in whispers. "Uncle Leo?" "Uncle Leo?" The second time I called a bit louder, but there was no answer. Uncle Leo wasn't coming.
I felt a premonition coming. I really didn't want it to happen, but I was too tired to fight it and besides it might be something important. I saw Uncle Leo sitting at a table in P3 alone drinking. It looked like he was crying. He called out "Piper!" Then I saw Balthezor appear behind him with a darklighter's crossbow. An arrow flew at poor Uncle Leo who didn't have a chance to orb. He fell to the floor screaming in agony. Balthezor leaned over Uncle Leo and whispered, "Now you'll be with your beloved Piper. You should thank me."
When I came out of the premonition, I could barely breathe. Without hesitating I scrambled out of my bed and ran out of my room. I almost flew through the hallways until I reached Wyatt's room. I stood outside for a moment. Then I burst in without knocking. Wyatt was sitting at his desk. He turned to me. "Penny! What's wrong?" "It's Uncle Leo. Balthezor is going to kill him. We have to go now!" Wyatt jumped up. "Go get dressed. I'll get Chris."
I ran back to my room and threw on jeans and a tee-shirt. When I came out of my room, Wyatt and Chris were waiting for me in the hallway. Wyatt threw a black leather jacket at me. I knew it was Aunt Piper's. "Put it on. It'll be cold." I put the jacket on. "So what's the plan Wyatt?" Wyatt shook his head. "I don't have one. We just go to Dad and warn him. That's all we can do for now." I shuddered. "What about Balthezor?" Chris pulled Excalibur from behind his back and handed it to Wyatt. "This should kill him. We just have to distract him so Wyatt can get close enough." Suddenly I got a brilliant idea. "Chris, you can shift into Uncle Leo. Then Balthezor will be confused. Then I can freeze him and Wyatt can kill him." Chris nodded. "Sounds good to me." Wyatt agreed. The three of us held hands and orbed to P3.
At P3:
When we arrived at P3, Uncle Leo was sitting at the table just as I had seen. He called out for Aunt Piper. Chris ran to Uncle Leo. He was about to tell him what was going on, when Balthezor appeared. He aimed his bow at Leo. Chris quickly shifted so he looked exactly like his father and grabbed his hand, orbing them both to the other side of the room. Balthezor stared at them both, unsure which one was which. I raised my hands to freeze Balthezor. He didn't freeze. I hadn't thought he would be that powerful.
Balthezor turned to me and laughed. "Silly child. You are no match for me!" He raised his hand and sent me flying into a wall. I managed to struggle to my feet. Wyatt yelled to Chris, "Orb Dad out of here!" They orbed just in time to avoid one of the arrows. Balthezor was now concentrating on Wyatt. Wyatt sliced at him with his sword, but couldn't seem to hit him. Finally giving up before the beast could reach him, Wyatt ran to me and grabbed my arm. He orbed us back to Magic School.
Wyatt's Room At Magic School:
We all gathered in Wyatt's room. Uncle Leo had passed out on Wyatt's bed. Chris shifted back to his own form. "At least we saved Dad." Wyatt was entering our new discovery into The Book of Shadows. He snapped the book shut and stared at Chris and me. I was still shaking from our ordeal. Chris rubbed my back. "Does it hurt?" I shook my head. "I'm fine." That was a lie. My whole body was throbbing, but I had to be tough. Wyatt went to the window. "We need help or we're never going to be able to vanquish Balthezor, let alone the source." It was time to call Prue again.
We went to Chris' room so we wouldn't disturb Uncle Leo who was still sleeping off the alcohol. We lit the candles and said the summoning spell. The swirls of light appeared, but I sensed that our visitor wasn't Prue.
When the form appeared, we were all too shocked to move or speak. It was Auntie Paige! This was definitely against the rules. How did she come? Auntie Paige stepped out of the candles and became solid. "Aren't you going to give me a hug? Some nephews and niece you guys are!" I laughed and jumped up into her arms. It felt good to have her hugging me close again. She kissed my head. "My big tough nephews. Too grown up to hug your poor Auntie?" Wyatt laughed and gave her a quick hug. Chris slowly got up. I could see tears in his eyes. Auntie Paige had always been his favorite. She had understood him better than anyone else. He nearly knocked her over when he threw his arms around her. He sobbed like a little girl. "I'm so sorry Auntie Paige. We tried to save you, I swear." She hushed him. "Poor Chris. Shhh....it's ok. It's not your fault."
When all had calmed down, Auntie Paige explained. "The Elder's know that you are having a terrible time with what has been put on your shoulders. They sent me to help." Wyatt looked like he might cry. "Why didn't they send Mom?" Paige touched his arm. "It would be too painful for you to say good bye to her again when she had to go back. That's why they couldn't send her or Phoebe. Prue was called off on another case, so they decided to send me. It'll be hard for you to let me go, but not as hard as if it were you're mothers."
It was so unfair to send Auntie Paige to us and not let us see our mothers. I sat at Auntie Paige's feet with my head on her knee. "How are they?" Auntie Paige patted my head. "They miss you all and they are afraid for you. But they are ok. You don't need to worry. They are watching over you." Chris got up from the bed. "No offense, but how are you going to help us?" Auntie Paige smiled. "I'm going to find out what I can about Balthezor and The Source's new powers. Then I'm going to prepare you for battle." She broke into a huge grin. "I'm going to really make you the Charmed Ones."
