Chapter 8

The three of us uneasily went to each other's house and we got everyone's things. We took all that we wanted because the rest would be sold in garage sales and would be donated and the house would be sold. After we got all of our things we settled in our new home. It was difficult at first but I got used to it fast. There were only two men in the house. Leo and me. Piper's husband, however, was barely around because of all the things going on with him. But we did eventually adjust. Then that fateful day came around. My birthday.

"Get up sleepy head it's time to get up. It's Saturday." Said Phoebe.

"Let me sleep."

"Fine whatever." With that she left. Or so I thought. She came back with Piper, Leo, Prue, Paige, Ed, Stephanie and Kristina all singing Happy birthday.

"Damn you." I muttered under my breath. I sat up and endured the singing while the cake looked like it would explode with all the candles on it. Of course Paige went over on the candles. She always goes overboard on the parties. When they finished I snuffed the candles with my mind. Every Sunday we had a 'class' One week was on freezing and blowing up, the next telekinesis, orbing, sensing others, premonitions, levitating and self-defense. I was excelling as well as my two siblings but I knew that since I was the oldest I had the most pressure. I took charge a lot. It's a compulsive thing. So you would think I was in charge. I just wanted to protect my newfound family members. Anyway I was finally 18. I was going to meet Gwen today and who else knows what.

"Hey. Personal Gain" said Piper

"Not really. I didn't gain anything by snuffing the candles except practice."

"Alright I'll let it slide," said Prue

"But I didn't ga-" I started

"Leave it alone and drop it" Steph interjected.

"Fine" Prue and I said. They all sat on my bed and gave me presents.

"You shouldn't have really guys. Just finding out I have blood relatives is enough." I said.

"Oh well I guess we'll just take them back." Started Paige

"Well since they are already wrapped and they look so nice I mind as well.." I said. "Nothing could ruin this day," I thought. Now that I was 18 I had my driving license so I took a shower and got dressed. I was wandering around the house when Leo walked up to me.

"Hey I got a surprise for you." He said

"Really where is it?"

"Grab my hand and hold on." He said

"Great." I said sarcastically. I grabbed on and we orbed up. I had no clue where we where going. Then we got there and I looked around. I saw the room. It was all white.

"Welcome to where the Elders dwell." He said.

"No way!" I said.

"Yep and there is someone I want you to meet. His name is Caludrain." He is a high Elder. I looked around and nowhere was there anybody.

"Um Leo where are all the Elders?" Leo glanced around and his face turned white.
