This is the first chapter of many about the kids having to cope with demons without their parents. They are at magic school.

Power of the Children:

Paris shimmered into her classroom,

"miss Turner, you're late, again," the teacher, Mrs Kirk, said, Paris shrugged and sat down at her desk,

"history of magic is so boring," complained Beverly, the girl who sat next to her. Beverly had short red hair and small green eyes, she had the power of conjuring, that was the only thing Paris envied about her.

Meanwhile, in the study of potions class, Pansy and Phoenix faced their teacher, Mr Black,

"today, we will learn the ingredients of a manticore vanquishing potion," he said in his deep voice.

In a power practice lesson, Patty-Anne orbed away from an energy ball an attacking demon had just thrown,

"I need my cousins," she said, then she orbed out.

Back in the history of magic class, Patty-Anne orbed in next to Paris, then they orbed and shimmered out.

Pansy and Phoenix left with Paris and Patty-Anne.

The four orbed into Poppy's classroom and left with her.

Then they did the same with Paiya and Prestini.

All seven of the cousins reappeared in the power practice room, they stood facing the demon and nine more, who had joined him since Patty-Anne had left, the other students had left the class, along with the teacher. Phoenix shot bolts of electricity at two of them, blasting them backwards, two year old Prestini ran and hid behind some draws,

"demons bad," she whispered, "and ugly too," referring to a large, green, demon who was walking over to her, Phoenix zapped the demon away from her sister with some more electric bolts. Prestini repaid the help by trapping three demons in a forcefield, Paiya wiggled her fingers and telekinetically lifted a demon into the air, while Paris used her minor-empathy to deflect an energy ball back at a demon, vanquishing him. Prestini dropped the forcefield as Phoenix struck the three demons with high-voltage electricity, the exploded into nothing,

"Pansy, orb the demons," Paris instructed, as the oldest cousin she liked to take control, Pansy waved her hands and the remaining demons turned to orbs and flew at the wall, then returned to normal. Poppy felt something evil,

"there's more demons coming," she said, her whitelighter part meant she had the ability to sense other beings, good and evil, as soon as she finished speaking, about eleven more demons shimmered in, the cousins started to wonder if they could fight this many demons. Paris opened her mouth to call for Leo, when one of the demons said,

"there is no point in calling for your parents, we have them down in the underworld," this angered the children, Paris clenched her fists and bit her lip, then she sprung her hands forward and released energy balls, vanquishing four demons.

"It looks like the little empathy has a death wish, using our own powers against us," snarled one of the demons, he hit Paiya and Phoenix with energy blasts, Poppy and Pansy, the two cousins with the ability to heal, ran and healed their wounded cousins. Prestini came out from her hiding place and released cold mist on one of the demons, turning him to ice, Patty-Anne orbed behind the figure of ice and took a sword from the weapons cupboard, swinging it at his waist and smashing him, the remaining pieces of ice exploded. She vanquished three more demons with it, then Phoenix vanquished the remaining ones with her electrokinesis power,

"we need to get our parents," Pansy said,

"maybe my dad can help, they might not have him," Paris said, the other cousins nodded and she shimmered out.

"Lets go find out who could have them," Pansy said, she took Phoenix and Prestini's hands and orbed them to the manor, Patty-Anne did the same with Poppy and Paiya.
