Author's Note: Wow, 40 chapters are complete! I am so completely amazed by the results I have gotten with this story! I never ever expected that I would get to chapter 20, let alone to chapter 40! The inspiration with this story has been incredible and I love writing! I hope you guys are all enjoying the story and I thank you all for continuing to read; I really appreciate it!
Anyway, here's chapter 40. I hope you enjoy it!
Halliwell Manor-Living Room-Future
"This is bad, this is so bad! It was all a ruse!" cries Prue, pacing around. "What the hell is a chameleon demon anyway?"
"It's a demon that gathers information by infiltrating the homes of witches. Chameleon demons morph into pieces of furniture, typically, and mostly go unseen. After they've gathered the necessary information, they report back to whoever it was that sent them," explains Leo.
"But, what did it morph into?" asks Ryan, thinking.
"That chair," cries Kelly.
"What chair?" asks Paige.
"There was a green chair in the foyer that Kelly noticed. She mentioned it to me but I just dismissed it, thinking it was nothing," says Clay, guiltily. "I'm sorry."
"Oh, Clay, you don't have to be sorry. It's not your fault!" says Prue, reassuringly.
"Still what do we do now?" asks Paige. "I'm sure Amanda will be sealed off in some part of the Underworld where we won't be able to find her."
"And we don't even know the coronation will be. It could be happening right now for all we know," says Piper.
"So, what, do we wait until after the coronation to make our next move?" asks Clay.
"That's all we can do for now," says Leo, sadly. He knows that once Amanda is coronated as the new Source it will be very hard to stop her!
"It's too bad this binding potion went to waste," says Paige, pulling it out of her pocket.
"Or did it?" asks Kelly, a smile creeping onto her face.
"What do you mean?" asks Prue, confused.
"The only people as strong as Amanda, or even the Source, are you guys," says Kelly, as she looks at the sisters.
"Why are you looking at us?" asks Piper, worried.
"Maybe if you cast a spell you can cancel out the protection Amanda most likely put on her activities. And then if the potion is made stronger, even if she does become the Source, you guys could still vanquish her if you also use a spell," says Ryan, understanding what Kelly meant.
"That's actually a really great idea. We could all help you," says Clay, smiling,
The sisters look at Leo.
"It might be possible," says Leo, happy someone had some sort of a plan.
"Ok, well let's split up. Paige, you help me strengthen the binding potion. Piper, you, Clay, and Kelly work on the spell to vanquish the Source. And Leo, you, and Ryan work on the spell to break through Amanda's protection shield," says Prue, resuming her position as leader.
No one moves.
"Come on, people. Move it!" cries Prue, clapping her hands.
Everyone breaks off to work on their respective tasks.
Halliwell Manor-Present
Ryan teleports in with Paige followed by Kelly and Clay.
"Ok, I think we lost her," says Clay, as they all sit down.
"Are you ok?" Kelly asks Paige. She can only imagine how scared and confused she must be!
"As ok as I can be under the circumstances," says Paige, taking deep breaths.
"Do you believe us?" asks Ryan, trying to get right to the point.
"I do," says Paige. "I mean how could I not after everything I've seen and experienced?"
"Welcome to our world!" says Clay, smiling.
Kelly lightly slaps him. "Ease her into this whole thing!"
"So, you think you got away," says Amanda, teleporting in.
Ryan, Clay, and Kelly combine their telekinetic abilities to throw Amanda into the wall.
"How do we stop her?" asks Kelly.
Ryan looks at Kelly and Clay, and throws a potion at Amanda's feet.
"We three witches call,
On the powers of this witch to be stalled,
As we desire it,
So mote it be," recite Kelly, Clay, and Ryan aloud and in unison.
Amanda raises her hand to release a bolt of lightning, but nothing happens.
"What did you do to me?" asks Amanda, angrily.
"We put a temporary bind on your powers," says Kelly. "But, don't worry we're working on permanently binding them."
Amanda gets up.
"Who said you could get up?" asks Clay, telekinetically throwing her into the wall.
Ryan waves his hand and Amanda teleports out.
Clay and Kelly look at him.
"I teleported her back to the Underworld," says Ryan, as Clay and Kelly nod.
"Wow, that was amazing!" says Page, astonished.
"Let us explain everything," says Kelly.
They break off into discussion.
Halliwell Manor-Living Room-Future
"Is everyone ready?" asks Leo, walking into the living room. Everyone else is already there.
"Yes, we all are," says Piper. "Where are the kids?"
"Upstairs, Anthony and Andy are watching them," says Leo, smiling reassuringly.
"Ok, we have the spell," says Prue, pulling it out of her pocket.
"3D places as we know,
The shield right now we will throw,
We call upon the Power of Three,
Take us to where we wish to be," recite Prue, Piper, and Paige aloud and in unison, as everyone disappears in whitelights.
