Chapter 5
"So your telling me that you four just vanquished shax" piper began signaling to one of her sisters to continue,
"And that he was after you two" Paige said pointing to charlotte and Michael "Why? Though that's what I don't understand".
"We don't know, Auntie Paige. That's the problem we went to find Selena" she answered pointing to herself and Michael "but she wasn't their only shax."
"I personally think the demons are forming a union to go against the witches and take over the world," Michael said excitedly.
"This is no time to make jokes Michael" Pheobe said
"No I think he might be right" Charlotte said "Chris call Bianca and tell her to come here" charlotte said
"Why" Chris asked
"Just do it?" she said handing the phone to him.
Five minutes later Bianca was in the Halliwell's kitchen wondering why she was there.
"Are the demons organizing" charlotte asked plain and simple
"How did you know I only just found out seconds before Chris rang" Bianca answered looking at her questionably.
"Shax told us" charlotte told her "I'll tell you later" she added at the confused look on Bianca's face
"Why?" Chris asked
"Well, I heard that a new very powerful group of young witches has been hunting demons and killing them way to easily and the whole demon world is starting to crash" Bianca told them "Apparently there are three they have the powers of…" she began. But was cut of by charlotte
"Telekinesis, molecule combustion, invisibility levitation, conjuration and aquakenises and a few others" she said casually.
"Yes how did you know that too. Can you read minds" Bianca asked looking surprised she would know that.
"No, I can't read minds. That's us," she said basically shrugging it off while Michael just stood there.
"What, how long have you been doing that" piper yelled ion complete shock
"Umm, not entirely sure what do you think Michael" charlotte asked her friend.
"A year tomorrow" he said laughing at the looks on everyone else's face "Don't be so surprised we were doing to help you"
"Help us how is putting yourself in danger helping us" Paige said looking disbelievingly at her niece and her friend.
"Well think about it us killing them meant less came after you" charlotte said "Oh, and they started coming after us ages ago. Way before we started hunting them"
"Why didn't you tell us we could of helped you" Pheobe said.
"Because none of you think we can do it. So not only were we doing it for you we were doing it for ourselves" charlotte told them "So if you think about it. It's actually your fault I'm doing this because you are the ones that think I'm so incompetent"
"We don't think your incompetent, honey" piper said lovingly
"Then why dot you let me do anything, mum," she said ignoring her mum's tone of voice
"We do, we just like you to keep safe, too" piper told her daughter shocked to finally find out how she feels.
"No, mum, you don't you try to protect me from every little thing so I just go and hunt down a demon when I get annoyed" she said
"So now because you can't control your anger the whole underworld is trying to kill you," Bianca said
"Yeah, well I wasn't counting on that happening" charlotte sighed.
"Bianca, Michael could you please go home we have to have a family meeting to work this out" piper said.
They just nodded and left.
"Leo" piper called for her husband
"What is there a demon?" he asked urgently
"No we have to discuss your daughters rampaging, now the underworld is after her a her little friends" piper told him with a note of agitance in his voice.
After piper had explained everything to Leo he just looked completely shocked he didn't know even though he was an elder.
"How could I not know this?" he asked
"Because I made sure no body ever knew but obviously not well enough because Chris and Wyatt found out and tried to stop me which annoyed me even more so we when after more demons and now Selena is a fury" charlotte explained "How do we change her back?"
"She can only change back after all her anger is gone" Leo explained
"Great" charlotte said standing up "Now all I need to do is find her and take her to her mothers grave then she can let all her anger out and come back to our side, right"
"Yes, but your not going anywhere until we find out how we can get the underworld of your backs" Paige said making her sit down again.
"We just kill all the demons simple" charlotte said shrugging and trying to get up but her aunt pushed her back down.
"Don't be stupid that's suicide," Wyatt said
"What would you know you never go after any demons on your own, you always go with mommy" charlotte snapped back
"Shut up. I do not," Wyatt yelled
"Sure, when was the last time you went after a demon on your own" charlotte yelled back
"Shut up you cow" Wyatt yelled even louder at his sister
"Don't call me a cow you…" charlotte began but was cut of by their mum
"BE QUIET BOTH OF YOU" she screamed "Wyatt DON'T CALL YOUR SISTER A COW AND BOTH OF YOU SIT DOWN NOW"
"Now you are all going to go to your rooms and stay there understand" Leo said calmly "No beating each other up and no hunting demons, got it, good, now go"
They all walked up stairs until charlotte telekinetically pushed Wyatt back down the stairs.
"Hey" he yelled at her
"NO FIGHTING" piper yelled from the kitchen.
Instead of staying in her room like a good little girl she grabbed her pocket knife and back pack she had full of stuff to use against demons like potions and a note pad full of spells and orbed out to find Selena.
She found her with the other furies in a small cave in the underworld. She grabbed her friend and orbed her to Selena's mother's grave stone.
"Here's your mother Selena, tell her exactly what you think of her" charlotte told her but instead of crying all over the grave stone Selena came after charlotte who threw her against the stone " you hate her don't you, admit it, just let it out. She left you all alone. Didn't even care, did she. ANSWER ME SELENA"
Selena stopped and charlotte noticed she changed back to herself and stated cry and saying how much she hated her mum for leaving her.
Ten minutes after charlotte's family noticed she was gone they were back. Charlotte had a big gash in her leg were Selena had cut her with her fury nails and Selena's head was bleeding from being thrown against the grave stone.
"Where did you go?" piper shrieked seeing her leg "and what happened to your leg"
"I went to help Selena as I told you and Selena didn't really want to be saved at first"
"I'm just glad your safe" piper said "Leo…"
"WATCH OUT" charlotte yelled throwing her mum out of the line of a fireball thrown by a bounty hunter. Which nearly hit her but she dodged it and blew up one of the bounty hunters (there were two), the other one looked shocked and tried to leave but Selena conjured a athame and threw it at him very quickly so he went up in flames too.
"Wow that was way to close for comfort," Selena said "who can afford to send a bounty hunter after us?"
"I don't know but we need to find out" she said changing into one of the bounty hunters using her power of glamouring.
"What are you doing" Pheobe said.
"This is the only thing I can think of, and at least this way we can figure out what they are after" she said grabbing Selena and orbing to the underworld behind a rock.
"Who wants her?" she yelled to a large group of demons
"What are you doing I told you to come straight back to me, idiot" a very powerful demon said, the demon was wearing a black coat that covered his face. "Come with me"
Charlotte descissed as the bounty hunter followed the hooded demon into a large chamber.
"What do you want with this, witch" she asked "She isn't that powerful is she"
"If she wasn't a threat do you think I would try and aliminate her and her young friends," he said "especially the progeny of a charmed one she is way to powerful. And they keep killing my demons, that is very irritating"
"How much are you willing to pay for her," she asked
"What do you mean?" he asked looking up from what he was doing "the question is what are you willing to pay for not giving her to me" he got a fireball in his hands and threw it at her.
It was at this point that she realized she'd gone too far and needed to get away so she blew up the fireball, changed back into herself smiled at the demon leader and orbed herself and Selena back to the manor.
"They are threatened by us" she told them "and they have a new leader, maybe even a new source. We need to vanquish him before the coronation"
"When is that?" Chris asked
"In two nights" Selena told them adding "I heard one of the demons talking about it."
"All right we have 2 days to figure out how we are going to do this" Wyatt said looking in the book with charlotte and Selena to try and find the demon they had to kill.
About ten minutes of looking through the book they couldn't find him so they just gave up.
"Crap, can you take me home now char" Selena said looking at the time it was 1:30 am already.
"Yeah sure" she answered orbing them both out.
When she got back piper, Leo and their aunts had gone to bed and Wyatt and Chris were looking through the book again.
"I knew I should have mentioned he was wearing a black cloak that covered his face sooner," she said shrugging
"What, why didn't you tell us" Chris said disbelievingly.
"I didn't think it was important," she said
"Not important, not important. When did you think it would be important. When were faced with it and he was trying to kill us" Wyatt said a bit louder than he should of.
"Relax I came up with a brilliant plan" she said looking at her brothers with big wide eyes.
"Really what" Chris asked not believing she could come up with something good that late at night and at such short notice.
"we let him become the source then we get a old source from the past and use his knowledge to kill the new one, brilliant don't you think" she said still wide eyed.
"No how are we surposed to get him to do what we want" Chris asked.
"Good point" charlotte sighed "Wasn't Auntie phoebes ex husband the source".
"Yeah why" Wyatt asked
"We could play his emotions to get him to tell us how to kill the new source" she said wide eyed again.
"You know that might actually work" Chris said "But how do we get him here?".
"Like this" she said resiting a spell from the book that said:
Hear these words,
Hear this cry,
Spirit from the other side,
Come to me, I summon thee,
Cross now the great devide.
Now standing in front of them was the ghost of Cole turner Phoebe's ex husband.
"Where am I and who are you" he asked looking at them.
"Told you it would work" she said to her brothers.
"Yeah but will he help" Wyatt said crossing the room and closing the attic door "If aunt Pheobe sees him she'll kill us"
"I ask again who are you" Cole asked looking at them.
"Oh, how rude of us" charlotte began "I'm charlotte Halliwell and this is my twin brother Chris and my big brother Wyatt"
"Are you pipers children?" he asked
"Yeah and you are here to help us kill the new source, so, how were you vanquished" charlotte asked calmly smiling at him
"You're a lot like your mother she didn't waste time either" he said
"Are you going to help us or not" she said firmly
"What do I get out of it," he asked
"Nothing but I need your help he's trying to kill me and my friends. He thinks we are to powerful" she told him looking at him urgently "Please we need your help"
"Ok, I can't lose anything else" he agreed "But on one condition I want to see Pheobe again"
"What no" Wyatt said flat out "She's over you if she see's you she'll start hurting again. I can't have that"
"Wyatt, we need his help. My life's on the line here" she said "Ok, but we have to be quiet and she can't see you, got it."
"Yes of course the last thing I want is to hurt her I just want to see her again"
"Fine lets go." Charlotte said walking towards the door.
"Char, don't do this." Wyatt said glaring at Cole.
"I have to we have no other choice" charlotte said back at her brother "if we cant vanquish him he could easily kill us and you know how much that would hurt aunty Pheobe more than this would."
After a quick look at Pheobe sleeping Cole gave them the spell and they sent him back to were he came from.
"Ok all we have to do is wait a few days then we can all go and vanquish him, but it will have to be all of us" she said looking at her brothers "Will you help me. Even though I know you don't think I'm capable"
"We know you're capable. We have always know. We just don't want to lose you, we love you char" Wyatt said
"Even if we don't want to admit it, its true" Chris agreed.
"Thanks guys, I love you too" she said one single tear running down her face "And I'm actually grateful you care so much, even if I don't show it much either".
After a quick hug and a promise to never tell anyone about that conversation they said goodnight and went to bed. Little did they know was that their dad, Leo, had watched the whole thing and decided to let the kids handle the whole thing but watch nearby. To give them a hand anytime they needed it, as they seemed to be doing well on their own.
Thanks for the reviews they made my day, its good to know someone likes my writting. anyway to answer that question. aquakenesis is the ability to control water. mostly asossiated with the sea hag and water demons but i thought it sounded cool so i let a witch have it.
