Chapter Three
The Truth is revealed
Lydia and Jasmine arrived quietly in the Manor Conservatory unnoticed by the parents, hiding behind the doorframe the two friends were able to listen to the conversation that was going on between the adults
" You can't expect that vampire attack at P3 to be related to the strange deaths all around San Francisco can you?" Paige said to her sister
" Well Paige I don't really know I mean according to the newspaper these death's were quite strange, and quite obviously supernatural" Phoebe replied back heaving out a sigh and sitting down " Look Paige, I think what you need to do is accept that we need Lydia's help on this she knows so much already we cant expect to let her friend help and not her" Phoebe walked up to her little sister and gave her a hug " I Know you're trying to protect her but she's had enough and with the amount of power that girl contains I expect she's going to blow one way or another why not let her do it to a demon"
Lydia smiled to herself and caught Jasmine's eye, who looked incredibly stunned, inside the conservatory Buffy broke the silence between the sisters
" I don't get this How do you know about demon's and Vampires?" Buffy asked looking genuinely interested.
Piper looked around finally acknowledging The Vampire Slayer's presence
" We're Witches the most powerful Witches on earth called the Charmed Ones" Piper said completely back handing the question, Lydia grabbed Jasmine's hand deciding that it was the best time to go in. Lydia and Jasmine walked into the conservatory to see a strange space between the Charmed Ones and the Vampire Slayer, Jasmine walked over to her Aunt and sat down next to her while Lydia stayed in the middle waiting for her mother or Aunts to speak to her. Next to her sparkles of blue light appeared and formed the shape of Wyatt, Jasmine gasped as Wyatt appeared next to Lydia
" What are the Elder's saying?" Paige asked looking at her nephew with great concern
" Their not talking, they keep saying one of us knows already, Mom what do they mean by that?" Wyatt asked turning towards his mother whose eyebrows were knitted together with concern
" I don't know I really don't know" Piper replied back. Buffy and Jasmine starred amazed at Wyatt, He turned to Lydia and looked his cousin directly in the eye
" This has something to do with that page in the book doesn't it?" he asked, Lydia looked down at her feet feeling unable to answer
" Please darling if you know something do tell us" Phoebe prodded with Paige and Piper nodding in agreement. Lydia turned back towards the group
" Im not exactly sure but I think I know…Yesterday I was in the attic studying the Book of Shadows pages…. I think I was reading one about a Vampire Slayer then the Book suddenly came to life and the pages began to flick and move and it landed on one about Saint Vigeous" Lydia explained, both Jasmine and Buffy gasped leaving the Charmed Ones stunned
" What did Saint Vigeous do?" Kyle asked from his place by the window
" He lead a crusade of Vampires in the First Century of Christ, the people called him The Patron Saint of Vampires apparently of the Night of Saint Vigeous the vampires powers are at its peek" Lydia quietly explained to he mother and Aunts. Wyatt turned back to looked at Lydia
" So your saying all these kills are just so the Vampires can get ready for the Night of Saint Vigeous?"
Lydia looked at her cousin and thought for a minute
That could be true, but why would they need so much extra blood in their system just so that they could pray?
Lydia shook her head, her beautiful brown curls bobbing up and down on her shoulders
" I believe that the Vampires and Demons are banding together to raise Saint Vigeous from the dead…" Lydia walked over to her laptop that lay on the table where she had left it with the rest of the team following behind
" Three weeks ago the Vatican cemetery was broken into and some bones were stolen" Lydia said typing incredibly fast, on the computer screen a picture of a newspaper article flashed up, Lydia scrolled down until she reached the picture "Apparently this Vigeous guys followers believed he was actually a Saint and buried him in the Vatican cemetery illegally" Lydia turned back around to see the completely stunned faces of the Charmed Ones, Wyatt, Buffy and Jasmine looking completely transfixed on the photo of Saint Vigeous's tomb
" Look at the side of the tomb it says something in Latin Per valde vox nostrum rector vadum orior oriri ortus iterum ut evinco Electus Ones" Lydia enlarged the photo and zoomed in of the side of the tomb, Wyatt stepped forward and looked closely at the righting
" I did Latin with Dad but I don't think I can translate that" he stated taking a step back. Lydia looked at her cousin and smiled
" What would you guys do without me? Luckily Im quite fluent in Latin the text says...With great power our leader shall rise again to defeat the Chosen Ones". Jasmine looked at Buffy
" What on earth does that mean?" she asked
