Eternally Charmed: Sticks and Stones
Pleasure IslandDantalian appeared on the midway next to the Crone. "Have you managed to infect one of them with the greed?"
"Yes Mistress" The crone nodded head in a bow like fashion. "The middle of the three children. The one they call Ally".
"The time traveler" Dantalian grinned rubbing her belly at the thought of her child's half sister becoming infected with the temptation of greed. "You have done very well, now all we have to do is wait for the Charmed Ones."
Innocently, Amanda came out of the bathroom holding Melinda. She looked to her left and too her right not see her younger sister anywhere. "Ally?"
"Dere!" Melinda pointed using her best big girl voice just as Ally stepped into a the Funhouse behind another large group of kids.
"Ally wait!" Not worried about exposure, Amanda orbed both she and Melinda to the front of the line infuriating the ride operating.
"You can't go in there! You have to wait your turn!" Roughly he grabbed Amanda by the arm, forcing her release Melinda.
"Bu-but my sister-" Amanda looked at the man fearfully.
"Greedy little girls who don't wait their turn get punished!" The man then reached into his pocket and pulled out what appeared to be a handful of pink sand, promptly blowing into Amanda's face. Preoccupied with Amanda, he didn't seem to notice Melinda slip into the ride unaccompanied.
"Stubborn spoiled little witch!" The ride operator hissed, shoving Amanda to the side as she desperately attempted to wipe the pink sand from her face, not noticing the fact that she had begun to sprout a tail from the back of her school uniformed jumper.
"Aywee!" Melinda wandered through the darkly lit funhouse in search of her cousin. It wasn't until she caught a glimpse of a small creature near the wavy mirror that she smiled.
"I'm over here," Ally whispered with her dark glowing demonic eyes.
Manor
"We don't have time for this!" Paige jumped away from the book as three rock demons appeared in the attic surrounding them. "Chair!" she shouted holding out her hand.
"Huh?" Much to Paige's surprise nothing happened with Prue in her human form. Paige was unable to telekinetically orb. Unbeknnwest, she had revert back to her passive powers.
"Let me try" Glaring Prue stepped in front of her youngest sister waving her arms at the chair and watched as in less than a second the chair went flying across the room and splinted as it hit one of the rock demons.
The rock demon merely grinned catching a piece of the splintered wood and hurled it back at them.
"Oh Oh" Prue's mouth formed perfect circles prompting Paige to call for her shield of protection. "Force field!" As her powers had been in the beginning a protective blue light covered she and Prue along with Piper and Phoebe and the book.
"Piper, Phoebe go to the girls!" Prue commanded "say the spell Paige and I will join you as soon as we can".
Piper and Phoebe looked at one another, and then down at the book. "call of the little witches rise, course unseen across the skies, takes us to a place of pleasure let us find our-
Piper paused for a moment, raising an eyebrow. "Hidden treasures? What are our children jewelry now?"
"It was the only thing I could think of" Phoebe shrugged, as they disappeared in a set of swirling lights.
The force field broke and the largest of the rock demon held out his hand laughing sinisterly. A glowing rock mass of jagged rock formed in his palm as he drew his arm back and hurled it directly at Prue.
"Join us witch!"
"Prue watch out!" Instinctively Paige shoved her oldest sister out the way taking the brunt of the jagged rubble.
"Paige!" Prue could only watch in horror as Paige exploded into a million pieces of tiny jagged rocks and them reassembled in the form of a rock creature.
"Paige?" Leo blinked unable to believe his eyes. Somehow through the force of magic Paige had been transformed into a female version of "The Thing" from the Fantastic Four cartoon.
Before anyone could move or breath the rock king formed another mass and threw it directly at Andy. Temporarily forbidden to use his powers, the tracer was helpless to defend himself and Austin.
"Andy!" Prue screamed. Luckily she was able to send the mass hurling back at it's owner before it had time to strike her beloved. Prue balled her fists as the massive rock king took his blast seemingly unfazed. The glowing mass had only succeeded in making him stronger.
"Okay, take Austin and get out of here now!" Prue ordered.
Andy gave his wife a sideways, glance. "Powers or not, I'm not runnin' Prue" Stubborn, Andy handed the infant to Leo and directed him to orb out, infuriating Prue all the more.
"Do I have to use my powers on you?" Prue threatened letting Andy shield her from a small blast of machine fired rocks.
"You haven't done that in a long time" he grinned, keeping her behind his strong male form. "Just because I was forbidden to use my powers doesn't mean I can't help to defend my family" A large heat seeking probe formed in Andy's hand and his arm drew back in a sidearm fashion modeling a major leaguers fast ball pitch.
The probe flew from his hand, swerving in a zigzag pattern towards its intended victim; one of the rock demons gasp before suddenly blasting into bits.
Angered the rock king screamed balling his huge rock like fists.
"Uh oh!" Prue began to look nervous as the floor began to shake, and bits of ceiling began to crumble.
"He's turning everything into rock," Andy declared keeping tight hold on his partially immortal wife.
Another huge jagged mass formed in the demons hand, this one three times the size of the other. "Prue…" Andy edged.
"Uh…Orb!"
"Okay but what about Paige?" Prue and Andy's eyes both shifted to the rock shaped charmed one who was now seemingly frozen into her newly hardened form. Atremus was standing beside her.
"Orb to her!"
Obeying, Andy closed his eyes and orbed them to the corner of the room, nearly missing the huge explosive mass.
"Prue" Paige's voice barely squeaked from the bits of gravel that were clogging the inside of her mouth. From the outside, nothing vaguely resembled the youngest Charmed one with the exception of a feminine rock like figure and her big brown eyes.
"It's okay" Prue said calmly, "Andy's going to orb us out of here." A large piece of concrete nearly hit Prue on the head as she spoke "Hurry!" she told Andy.
Andy nodded trying to orb.
"What's the matter?"
"It's Paige" Andy groaned as the orbing lights faded around them. "She's too heavy"
"What?" Offended, Paige lifted her huge concrete leg and brought her foot smashing down on top of Andy's.
"Ow!"
"Hey!" Prue growled. "Just because he's part angel doesn't mean he won't break!"
"I can't do it!"
Paige grumbled something in response but her mouth was too fully of grit for Prue to make out the comment.
"Just go" Artemus, encourage. "He won't hurt Paige"
"How do you know?" Prue leaned up against Andy letting him rest against to take the weight off his nearly crushed foot.
"Because she's one of them. He'll want Paige for his Queen" All three them glanced at the Rock King as he sniggered and suddenly exploded himself into a tornado like funnel of rocks with Paige following against her will.
