Chapter Five
Seven Darklighters for a Whitelighter Witch
Lydia starred out at the street before her, watching the normal families walk up and down and chat to each other. Across the road a new family was moving in and their stuff was being carted this way and that way by the removelists, a boy about Lydia's age sat out on the front lawn gazing straight at her. Lydia could feel his eyes boring into her but she didn't care, from behind her Lydia could hear Jasmine come out of the Manor and sit down next to her
" You thinking?" Jasmine asked breaking the silence that Lydia had been thriving in
" Yeah I just needed some time to come to terms with our Supposed Destiny" Lydia replied in a sort of harsh manor. Jasmine didn't even notice she just snuck closer to Lydia and gave her a comforting hug
" Just so you know your not the only one who has to go through this I have to too you know" Jasmine pointed out starring off at the boy on the front lawn " He's kinda cute" she muttered making Lydia smile
" Yeah he's cute, Jas I know I'm not the only one I know that we will work through this together but I've never fought a demon in my whole entire life, mum has always kept me sheltered from those kind of things…" Lydia turned to face Jasmine " What if I'm not strong enough to face Vigeous?" Lydia finished. Jasmine starred at Lydia and then thought of something
" Remember how the Prophecy said The Child of White Light Shall Bring knowledge and Power… It was for told Lydz You may not have enough power to defeat Vigeous yourself but together we certainly have enough" Lydia smiled once again, Jasmines words really meant something to her she always knew Jasmine was a good friend but now she was her soul sister. Without the Chosen Ones noticing the boy crossed the road heading towards them, as he got near enough his Darklighter crossbow appeared in his hand and he aimed it at Lydia's chest. The poisoned arrow sped silently towards Lydia, turning around as if alerted by the arrows presence Lydia screamed out as she noticed it hurtling towards her, a second before impact a purple force field appeared around Lydia stopping the arrow in its tracks and burning it to a crisp. Jasmine quickly got up and backed towards the house screaming out for help
" Buffy…Wyatt… Please somebody help" and in a second Wyatt was there sprinting down the stairs towards Lydia his own shield popping up as he went, running in front of the Darklighter who was still stunned about what had happened to his arrow Wyatt flung his hands out and the Darklighter blew up. Wyatt turned around and began running back up to Lydia, he picked her up and flung her over his shoulder and ran inside the manor with Jasmine following close behind as six more Darklighters shimmered in.
---------- Manor Attic----------
Lydia, Wyatt and Paige stood hunched over the Book of Shadows desperately searching for a spell to vanquish the Darklighters that were outside their house. Jasmine sat down between Phoebe and Buffy on one of the Attics old couch's, Lydia knew Jasmine's mind was racing and hopefully she could keep her soul sister safe so they could finish their conversation
" Found one!" Wyatt yelled coming to a stop next to a page about how to send away an enemy
" I don't reckon that will work Wyatt try and find another one while I orb to Magic school and see whether they've got anything there" Paige replied and orbed away leaving Wyatt and Lydia looking intently at the book and spotted the Vanquish Evil Beings from a place spell
" How about this Aunt Phoebe I guess we could tweak it a bit" Lydia suggested making her Aunt get up and have a look at the Book
" Yes Im sure It could but then only you and Jasmine could be inside the house Where would the rest of us go and we cant exactly leave you here alone when you cant protect yourself" Phoebe commented. Lydia's eyes flew open and she began to flick again and again until she reached the page she was looking for a page full of protection spells
" Look Aunt Phoebe I've got the Book of Shadows I'll be fine plus I've got a whole page of protection spells here to try so I think we'll be good and you guys can just go to Magic school and I'll call Wyatt or mum if I need you guys but I promise ill be fine". Phoebe eventually gave up and Wyatt transported everyone out of the Manor and into Magic School and Lydia and Jasmine positioned themselves on the Kitchen table starring directly at the door, Lydia flicked her head and the door flew open with six Darklighters running in after it
" When in the Circle that is home,
Safety's gone and evils roam
Rid all beings from these walls,
Safe sisters Two
Now heed our call" Lydia shouted with Jasmine joining in after awhile, One Darklighter burst into flames but the other five remained laughing
" A mere spell like that one cannot kill us WHITELIGHTER you should know better," One of the Darklighters shouted. Jasmine turned to Lydia and pointed to the page of protection spells in the Book of Shadows
" You think I was finished I haven't even started
For every witch,
in every hour,
send us now the greatest power.
Brick and
mortar, wood and stone,
protect our centre, protect our home"
Lydia shouted loudly, she repeated it three times without noticing
that the Power the Warren Witches were sending them was levitating
them, the darklighters screamed and howled and eventually all burned
to death. Lydia slowly drifted to the ground
Lydia tried to get of the table but she collapsed, Jasmine screamed and screamed for Wyatt and he orbed down right next to her
" What's wrong with Lydia?" Jasmine asked helping Wyatt carry her to the couch, then Jasmine spotted it one of the Darklighters arrows was imbedded in Lydia's side " Help her please… oh Wyatt Please help her" Jasmine cried only to have Wyatt shush her. Wyatt slowly place his hand over the wound, after he had extracted the arrow, and a yellow light began to spread from Wyatt's fingers through Lydia's body and her eyes flickered open
" Did I whip those Darklighters ass's?" Lydia asked weakly trying to move so she could see Jasmine who was smiling
" Yeah you sure did Lydz" Jasmine replied softly giving her soul sister a little hug….
