It took the 3 of them 20 minutes to walk all the way to their mortal high school, San Francisco senior high school. So they only just made it in time, having to run to class before being marked as late again which could seriously effect her record, again. Charlotte split up with her brothers (they were in different homerooms) and ran down the hall.
"Your almost late Miss Halliwell" Mrs. Strathner said marking her down as there "But I'm feeling generous at the moment so sit down and I won't make you late, again"
"Yes Miss" she answered sitting down straight away not wanting to try her teacher's patience so early in the morning.
"Did you find that information on the Andras demon" Michael, her friend sitting behind her whispered
"Yeah I'll tell you later I don't want to try Miss's patience when I'm this close to being suspended" She whispered back to him.
On their way to their first class, English. Michael, charlotte and their other friend Selena met up to discuss what they were going to do about the latest demon they had to destroy.
"So what did you find out?" Selena asked looking around for anyone listening to what they shouldn't be,
"Well, the Andras demon uses peoples anger to make them do some kind of horrendous violence" she began to explain "But the problem we have is he only comes if the anger of a person when it will serve a greater purpose"
"So why would he come after us?" Michael asked looking confused
"I'm going to try writing a spell to vanquish him" Charlotte told her friends also indicating that Chris was coming toward them with Bianca.
"What could 3 young people be discussing so intently?" Bianca asked looking at them with her eyebrows raised
"It better not be what I think it is about" Chris said looking at his twin sister too "not in a public place as full as this was, crap where late"
They all realized that while they had been talking everyone else had gone to class and the hall was completely empty. When charlotte and Chris managed to get to their English class they where sent right back out to the principles office with a note.
"Well, well Mr. and Miss. Halliwell your back again. What can I do for you this zone?" Principle Dalphine said laughing at his little joke about how often they visited his office.
"We were late to class again sir" Chris answered not looking at their principle as he handed him the note with the teachers explanation and how long they were late on it.
"Well let me see" he said to them getting up and opening the twins file, which were still on his desk from yesterday when they caused a food fight in the cafeteria "that's six hours of lateness for Christopher and seven for Charlotte, if I am not mistaken"
"How are we surposed to know we don't count how late we are, that's your job isn't it. In fact you should be thanking us, if it wasn't for Chris and I what would you possibly do with you time" Charlotte said smiling at him cheekily.
"Ha, ha, I'll just call your parents I'm afraid I'll have to suspend you for the rest of the week" Mr. Dalphine said picking up the phone and dialing their home number
"Mrs. Halliwell its Principle Dalphine here"
"Yes it's about Christopher and charlotte"
"Yes they have been suspended"
"Thank you" he finished hanging up the phone.
"Your mother will be here soon to pick you pick you up" he told putting their files back in the filing cabinet "you can go sit out there now" he said pointing to the door.
Ten minutes later Piper was there talking to the principle and signing them out.
"I can't believe you two, especially you charlotte I didn't even get a note about you behavior," she said looking at them disappointed
"You didn't give her the notes," Chris said looking at his sister
"Well no I didn't think it was that important" charlotte shrugged following her mother and brother out the school towards the car.
"Not that important" piper said making her voice a little louder than normal "ahh, I give up you 2 are grounded for two weeks"
"What that's not fair, we aren't even suspended for that long" charlotte complained
"I don't care get in the car," Piper said getting in the car herself.
While on their way home charlotte wrote a note to Michael and Selena that red:
Michael & SelenaI've got suspended again. I'll call tonight we can discuss you know what over the phone
Cya
Char
After she wrote the letter she orbed it into one of her friends bag.
"What was that?" Chris asked
"Nothing that concerns you Christopher Perry Halliwell" she said with a smug look on her face, which always meant it was something him and Wyatt would have to find out.
They were very protective of their only sister, which really annoyed the hell out of Charlotte so she had become very sneaky in almost everything she did. But this time she had let her guard down and didn't recover it until Chris had realized she was up to something.
At then end of school when Wyatt got home, Chris was in the room he shared with Wyatt. And charlotte was in her own room (she didn't have to share because she was the only girl out of all her siblings), were they had been since they got home themselves, waiting for his brother pacing around the room.
"What's wrong with you" Wyatt said putting his bag on his bed and looking for his homework.
"Charlotte's up to something again. And I know its bad because she let her guard down a bit and I saw that evil looking smile she always has before she's about to go after a demon. And then she covered it up way to quickly for my tastes. And you know what that means" Chris said stopping his pacing to look at his brother
"Yeah what she's about to do is very dangerous" Wyatt said stopping looking through his bag and starting toward s the door "We have to stop her before she kills herself. Like last time"
Flashback:
Chris saw his twin sister orbing her way back to the manor with a dark lighter arrow in her arm. Leo tried to heal her but it was taking along time.
"Why it taking so long dad" Chris asked watching with tears starting to sting his eyes
"Wyatt get your brother out of here" Leo said ignoring Chris's question.
"No what's happening, is she dying" Chris cried trying to get Wyatt to let go of him "Wyatt let go"
Luckily Chris didn't need to leave the room because she recovered and opened her eyes. Chris managed to get out of his big brothers grip and get to his sister giving her a huge hug.
Flashback end"Yeah how could I forget, it was horrible and here she is going to do it again does she have any common sense" Chris said following Wyatt out of their room to talk to charlotte
Walking into her room they both called her name. As soon as they realized she wasn't there they also realized she was probably in the attic checking out the book of shadows so they called her name again but louder this time and only Wyatt so Chris wouldn't get busted for being out of his room.
As soon as charlotte heard Wyatt call her name she left the book and orbed straight down to her bathroom which she had conveniently locked just in case of a emergency like being court by her over protective family. All this worry was over one accident last month little did her family know that she had done loads of demon hunting since then and even more over the past year or two with Michael and Selena.
"What, cant a girl go to the bathroom without being harassed by you Wyatt" charlotte called through the bathroom door while flushing the toilet and washing her hands to make it sound realistic and convincing. Little did she know that Chris had orbed to the attic to check out the page she had been looking at.
"We know you're up to something" Wyatt said flat out not bothering to waste time.
"Well you sound very sure of yourself" charlotte said knowing she had been caught and there wasn't really any point in denying it but she decided to try any way to save the mission "what makes you think that anyway?"
"Well…" Wyatt began when Chris orbed in with his arms crossed now charlotte knew for sure that she had been caught.
"She's after the Andras demon, the spirit demon of rage, very dangerous" Chris added at the confused look on his brothers face
"What that's stupid do you remember the last time you went after a demon" Wyatt said looking at his sister surprised she would do that again after last time.
"What oh last time you guys knew about it" Charlotte said "yeah that was a minor set back but we're back on track now thanks for asking"
"What how can you take this so lightly and what do you mean last time we found out?" Wyatt said looking at her disbelieving what he was hearing.
Charlotte just sighed and pulled out a small box from under her bed and started digging through it for a list of demons she and her friends had vanquished, giving it to her brothers.
"Oh my…" Wyatt started as they heard Leo coming up the stairs calling for dinner.
Chris and Wyatt orbed to their room and came out heading down stairs. But before they got there they were cut of by charlotte, who did not look happy.
"If you tell anyone about this I swear you'll wish you were never born" she threatened looking as if she was telling the truth.
"You can't do this its to dangerous" Chris said concerned for his sisters safety
"What would you know Chris you haven't seen me fight in along time, you don't know how good I've got at using my powers" she hissed at them
"What's going on" piper said looking from Charlottes agitated look to Chris and Wyatt's worried looks
"Nothing there just really getting on my nerves" charlotte said glaring at her brothers "I'm not really hungry I'm going to the bridge" she said as she orbed away giving her brothers one last glare.
