Chapter 9

"Hey Paige, are you done with that vanquishing spell?" Phoebe asked as she walked inside the attic

"Nope… I haven't even started yet… I really don't know the right words to put in here." Paige said with annoyance.

"Why? I mean, you've done thousands of spells before. You even erased Piper's memory and conjured a man. "

"Uh… please don't remind me all those stuff. What I mean is that I really want this spell to work for the best… for Alexis and Emily."

"I know… I think we're lucky enough that we didn't have to go through that." Phoebe said sympathetically.

"Yeah… she is lucky enough to have Chris to open up to."

Phoebe raised her eyebrows at the mention of Chris. "Speaking of which, do you think she likes him?"

Paige thought for a brief moment. "I think they like each other… I mean Alexis opens up only to Chris and Chris… well, I've never seen him look so….blissful, if that's the right word."

"I very much agree." Piper said as she joined her sisters. Phoebe and Paige both turned to her.

"Your son is growing up too fast." Phoebe said. They all laughed.

"Yeah… I mean, less than a year ago I gave birth to him and now he's falling in love." Piper shook her head as they all started to write the spell.

"So, what are you like in the future? I mean, do guys run after you?" Emily asked her daughter lightheartedly. They decided to spend time alone at their house and get to know each other.

Alexis laughed. "No… I try to stay away from all those things… Aunt Cynthia and I are pretty close. We spend most of the time together."

Emily smiled. "Well, I'm glad… at least someone's treating you like her daughter in the future."

"But still, it hurts never getting to experience your own mom taking care of you… if you know what I mean." Alexis said sadly.

"I know what you mean… that's why you came back isn't it? To save me." Emily took Alexis's hand. "I promise not to leave you again… I love you and I wouldn't choose you over someone else."

Alexis smiled with tears in her eyes. "I love you mom."

"Alright, I'm done!" Paige yelled triumphantly as she wrote the last few words of the spell. Piper, Phoebe, Leo and Chris all went up to the attic.

"So, do we have to go now?" Piper asked after reading the spell.

"I don't know… do you think they're ready?" Paige asked. They all fell silent.

Chris spoke up. "I think they would be… Alexis waited for this for so long."

They all agreed and the sisters went to get Emily and Alexis.

"Where do you think she'll attack?" Phoebe asked Alexis as they all gathered in Emily's house.

"Well, of all the times I've been watching her, she appears the most in the alley where you first saw me." Alexis replied.

"Do you think she'll attack now?" Piper asked

"She will… as long as she doesn't see you're with me and mom."

"Alright… let's go." Paige said as she orbed everyone out of the house.

As soon as they arrived to that same dark alley, the sisters hid behind a trash bin while Alexis and her mom acted as bait for the Temptress.

"Mom, are you okay?" Alexis asked as she noticed her mom tremble.

Emily looked at Alexis. "Honestly, I'm quite scared."

"You don't have to be… as long as I'm here and the Charmed ones are here, you're safe."

Before Emily could speak, they felt something hot behind them. They turned around and saw the Temptress emerging from a huge ball of fire and was standing right in front of them.

"Wow… I can't believe I'm actually seeing this… mother and daughter finally together. I think I'll have to kill both of you right this very moment." She said with an evil laugh.

Alexis glared at the demon in front of her. "You wish." She said as she used her telekinetic power and threw the Temptress on one of the trash bins.

The sisters saw what was happening and decided to come out of their hiding place, but Alexis told them to stay where they are.

Alexis turned to her mom who was trembling so much and lead her to a corner of the alley. When she turned around to face the demon, the Temptress threw a poisoned arrow and hit Alexis at the stomach, causing her to fall unconsciously to the ground.

Emily saw what happened to her daughter and went to her. The Temptress gave her an evil laugh.

"The next time you bring someone to save you, bring someone whom I couldn't kill that easily."

"Go to hell, bitch." Emily said as she threw the Temptress to another trash bin, just like what Alexis did earlier.

Piper, Phoebe and Paige went to Emily and to Alexis, who was lying unconscious on the ground. Piper called Chris and Leo, and they orbed in at once.

"What happened?!" Chris asked.

"Just take them home and heal her." Piper said. Chris and Leo orbed Alexis and Emily to the manor, leaving the Charmed ones to deal with the Temptress.

The Temptress stood up from where she was thrown and saw the Charmed ones standing before her. "Well… looks like Emily had a plan after all. I'm afraid I might have to kill you as well."

Phoebe glared at her. "Whatever you say, bitch. You're gonna die soon" She motioned for Paige to get the spell.

The Temptress already had a fire ball on her hand, ready for her to kill the sisters. The Charmed ones began chanting.

Evil empath from the past

We come face-to-face here at last

Let it be that she vanish for eternity

That never will she harm another entity

The Charmed ones watched as the ground opened and started to eat the Temptress down to the ground. They watched as the Temptress screamed for her life until all of her was sucked by the ground.

"Let's go home." Paige said quietly as she orbed her sisters back to the manor.

A/N: Sorry if the spell is so lame... I'm not really that poetic when it comes to having all the last syllables of the words rhyme... It's the best I've got so far... (:
