Aren't you all just the luckiest people. Inspiration hit Tuesday and I've been running with it. This chapter has a LOT of action.
SpiritofEowyn comes back tired and with a slight sunburn. Can I just say that Little Wild Horse Canyon is gorgeous? Albeit there were flash flood warnings while we were hiking in the narrows(which would mean instaunavoidable-death) And the car I went in got lost in the middle of nowhere(literally HOURS to a town), were very late, and we made it to the camp site on the fumes of our gas. (we ran out of gas) We were in the middle of a thunderstorm in a desert and I was the only girl in the car, and we might have had to wait the night thereÉ drama drama. So you are esp. lucky that I came back alive to update this. :P
Bluely: Really? I thought I was being kind of predicatable.. At least in my head I'm predicatable.. I hope you at least understand a little of whats going on, and that I'm not TOO confusing.
Melissa: ::rereads the chapters she wrote :: No I did have readings on them. Remember "Stuuupid Elder? Or "The pretty one purple gold swirly?" You really had me really worried for a while there though.
Catie: Woo. Don't hurt yourself! You've finally seen the light that's what matters! ;) ::wink:
Thank you to everyone who reviewed! I'm glad you like it! It was really inspiring! :D
Concerning Elders And Eyries Chapter 9
If Wyatt was here that meant their innocent was being attacked by demonsÉ and they still hadn't figured out what kind of demon it was, so no vanquishing spell or anything. Crap. This was not turning out to be a good day. First Leo, now this.
"Leo, Chris Paige! Get your ss's down here!"
Leo and Chris were the first to get there. "What's wrong?" they chorused and then Chris frowned at his father for copying him. Moments after his glare Phoebe and Paige orbed in.
"You know, there are nicer ways of calling." Paige said arms crossed.
" Bad News-A demon's attacking our Innocent, and we don't have a potion or a spell or nice sounding psychobabble." Piper said worried/irritated.
"Not good." Paige said.
Her sisters weren't thrilled. "Why now? We were this close to figuring stuff out!
"No time. We need a plan." Paige said cutting Phoebe off.
"Did you guys find a summoning spell?" Piper asked.
"Not a spell but I've got an idea." Chris said apologetic.
"If the demon kills our innocent I think the elders are going to be in even worse trouble." Leo said, unaware of how true his words were.
"Ok Ok. So I orb in, grab the innocent and," Paige said and then looked around, Piper was pregnant, and Leo sucked at fightsÉ "then Phoebe distracts it, and we go from there. Now where is it?
Phoebe nodded.
"The living room?" Piper guessed holding on tight to Wyatt.
"Ok Meet you there." Paige said to Phoebe beginning to orb- when they all heard an explosion.
They all winced. IF the innocent was still alive.
Paige orbed and Phoebe ran. They weren't about to give up yet.
BOOM
As the couch collapsed in on itself, Gideon realized that little children made hard targets to hit, as they were small and fast. Aura ran around the demons legs.
Her breaths were fast and shallow. The voice repeating ÔI'm going to die.' wouldn't shut up.
Ok. Stay calm. Or errr. Act like you are calm. What spell could she mix up to call for magic?
"Powers of the Eyries rise, come to me through space and time, come to me, I call you near, I don't want to die, get me out of here!" Aura chanted with her eyes closed.
"Aura!" Blue light enveloped her, she could feel herself floating.. Only to be thrown down to the hard ground again.
Paige winced. The dark figure had redirected her orbs. Poor kid. That must have hurt. Why couldn't she focus on him? He was all blurry.
Aura shook her head very disoriented. What was that? When she saw Paige on her right she yelled "Bad Man bad Elder! pointing wildly at Gideon.
"You know I have this thing against guys who try and hurt children." Paige announced confidently.
Instantly the three demons became invisible. They knew a quick death when they saw it.
ÔWhat was taking Phoebe so long?' Paige thoughtas she TK orbed what was left of the couch in the direction Aura had pointed with all her might.
As she concentrated she could see a figure of darkness.
Gideon glared murderously at Aura before dark orbing out. If he couldn't get the Eyries off of his tail, he might as well die destroying the real Ôthreat'.
Just then Phoebe came running seeing Gideon's orbing back. The darkness of the orbs made it impossible for her to see the large wooden mass that used to be a couch being thrown in her direction, and it was too late to stop it for Paige who saw Phoebe half a second before it hit her.
Paige ran to her sister with the toddler following behind guiltily. It was her fault they were in this mess.
"Phoebe!" Paige called then upon seeing the mess her sister was in changed her call to "LEO!
She didn't care about where the demons went, just her sister's safety. Dang it! Where was that brother in law of hers? "Phoebe just hold on ok?" Paige said more to herself, she doubted Phoebe could hear her. Blood ran from Phoebe's head where the Ôcouch' had knocked her against a wall.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Chris had been racking his brain for the Eyrie's name. If the innocent was still alive she had to know the name of one.
Piper was sitting on a stool with Wyatt fidgeting. She didn't like not being able to help her sisters, but she understood that she couldn't let little Chris get hurt either. She felt torn.
"Aratha, Arminia, AmattziÉ" Chris thought aloud, racking his brain for the Eyrie's name. Why couldn't he remember? When it had come it had acted like he knew her, He'd called it "Ara.
His brain was doing all sorts of topsy turvy flips going over the facts. Time travel. Eyries weren't limited by time. Eyries used to be witches, that die young and become Eyries because they are chosen. The Eyrie had acted like she'd known him. really known him not just of him. Gideon had said that Eyries were big on vengeance. Could the Eyrie that had come been someone who'd died in his time?
Wyatt had killed a lot of people, but Chris wasn't the type to give Ôpet' names to just anyone from school. His eyes widened. Things were going CLICK in his brain. Phoebe. Leo. Leo had said that he thought it was odd that the Eyrie hadn't made a move. His Aunt Phoebe never believed in coincidences. There certainly seemed to be few of them being a Halliwell. So what were the chances that the little kid that thought Elders were trying to kill her, was NOT an Eyrie candidate? And if the Halliwell luck was running the way it usually did she probably was in a manner of speaking the Eyrie that had stormed into the manor. Paradoxes Paradoxes. What else had Aura let slip that would help. Wait that confirmed it. Aura- Ara. Too much of a coincidence. She'd said that Phoebe's daughter was nice or fun or something. Maybe that was a side effect of the paradox? So someone who knew his cousin Prue. Chris blushed in spite of himself. Aura had also attached herself to his leg and called him "Pretty". Had one of his cousins friends been infatuated with him? A lot of them had shown interest surely but
"Leo, what did the kid say her full name was? You asked her right?
Leo blinked and looked pensive for a moment. "Aurelia Harman." He didn't bother to ask why, Chris's answer would probably be very confusing.
Chris beat his brain. Associating the name with someone his age and not just an innocent brought some interesting results.
"Oh. Oh my." Chris was remembering. The ÔIce Queen', the aloof somewhat annoying know it all friend of Prue. Well things were making some sense now. He remembered her death. He'd thought she was incredibly stupid egging Wyatt on. And yes there hadn't been a trace of her body afterwards. Well. Ok.
Chris barely noticed when Leo gave them both a look and orbed out. He did hear him say Phoebes name before he went though.
"Phoebe!
Piper frowned. Phoebe must be hurt, she wanted to help but, she knew that she shouldn't draw attention to herself and Wyatt. Wyatt was strong but he was only a baby and didn't know how to fight. She was pregnant and it might mess with her ability to use her powers, and put Chris in danger.
Chris looked around the room. Something wasn't right.
"What is it Chris?" Piper asked.
Instead of responding Chris put himself in front of his mom. He couldn't see anything but his other senses were screaming that something evil was there. Piper was alerted to the change and looked around carefully. Wyatt's eyes went big.
A Dark figure solidified in the kitchen while demons surrounded them at once effectively trapping them. The figure grinned at them menacingly. Piper was shocked.
"No. You can't be.
"I can." The dark figure said becoming utterly solid and his identity clear raised his arms and the kitchen area was suddenly blocked from the rest of the world. For better or for worse(probably worse) there was no way in or out. There was no chance to check the Book of Shadows or prepare in any other way. The time was now.
It was at that moment of realization of their probable doom that Chris remembered what the Eyrie had frantically warned them.
"Don't trust Gideon!
But was it already too late for them?
A/N: Bru ha ha ha!! Cliffhanger!
Hopefully Noor (an elder) will make her appearance soon.. or I'll backtrack and put her scene in. Which should make Gideons cause that much more down the toilet. (Any suggestions? Please make your wants and requests known! :D) PLEASE REVIEW.
Sorry about the long thought process of Chris. But it was about time someone figured this stuff out! Besides it built the anticipation of what was going on with Pheebs.
Also the reason why The sisters can't see Gideon all the time is his wonderful Elder cloaking power. As Leo said in the Season 6 finale- Gideon was among the strongest Elders
Are you guys as excited as I am right now?
