Chapter 10
"What are you going to do," asked Ginny.
"I don't know. It was always Kathleen who dealt with these kind of situations," answered Draco. He ran both of his hands through his hair, a look of distress upon his face.
"I can help," she offered as she sat down next to him, taking his hands in hers. Draco looked at her.
"You remind me so much of her," he whispered. Ginny heard him, and looked away.
"Ginny, I don't mean that you're exactly like her. Your gentleness is what made me fall in love with you. My daughters love you. They both look at you like a second mother, especially Rebecca."
"So, you're not replacing Kathleen with me?"
"What ever gave you that idea?"
"Never mind. Back to the problem. Are Aislin's powers powerful enough."
"I don't know." His mind wandered back to what Melinda told him
Flashback"What do you mean that my daughter's in danger," asked Draco.
"There's a powerful demon out there. He's after Aislin. From what my sisters and I know, he's after her so that she can give birth to another powerful child," answered Melinda.
"What! This demon wants to impregnate my daughter," shouted Draco.
"I'm afraid so. He'll do anything to get her. You and I both know that Aislin's powers aren't towards their full potential. She has no Whitelighter, and not to mention that she still doesn't know how to fully control the Dream staff."
"I understand. What can we do?"
"I'll protect her," offered Ginny. Melinda shook her head with disapproval.
"This demon practices Modern magic. Your wand as well as Draco's will be useless."
"Then, what do you suggest," asked Ginny.
"Bring Aislin and Rebecca to the Burrow next week. As you know, it's the monthly luncheon. George and I, as well and Michelle and Melissa, will watch the girls. Draco, be grateful that your wife decided to not have three daughters, but instead two. You know the responsibility three will give you, as well as the dangers."
"I know."
End of Flashback"I think that we should follow her advice," answered Ginny, breaking Draco from his thoughts of what Melinda advised earlier.
"Ahhh…" Both adults turned towards the door.
"What was that," asked Ginny.
"Rebecca." Draco jumped from his chair, running to his daughter with Ginny in toll.
Aislin shielded herself from the blast, but she couldn't do anything when it threw her back, right into the grandfather cloak. Shards of glass were on the floor around her as she hit the ground.
"Come with me, and the girl goes free," proposed the demon. He had his arm around Rebecca's neck.
"Aislin, please help me," pleaded the little girl. The demon had enough of her struggle, and tightened his grip on the little girl. Aislin tried to get up, but just ended up falling back down. Draco and Ginny stormed into the room, shocked and alarmed at the sight before them.
"You son of a bitch," shouted Draco as he charged at the demon. A knife appeared, and he threw it at the father.
"Draco," shouted Ginny. The knife landed in Draco's abdomen. Aislin saw what happened, and threw an ice crystal at the enemy. Even that wasn't enough to vanquish him. The demon threw Rebecca to the side, and was ready to throw a fireball, when all of a sudden he went up in flames.
"Aislin, honey, are you ok," asked Melinda.
"You flashed in just in time," whispered Aislin before everything went black.
A.N.: Well, you got some action and a little on Aislin's origin and powers. By the way, the ice crystal turns to flames when it hits its target. Aislin only threw one, but that wasn't enough to vanquish the demon. All right, read and review.
