Chapter 6: Attacked
Deep underground, a small, tattered man sat crouched in the corner. As he panted heavily, flashes of images came to him. ~a woman screaming throwing objects at him with her magic~ ~the woman dying as he hit her with a fireball~ ~the dead woman's power rising up and absorbing into him~ ~him in front of a group of demons and him losing his temper~ ~his demonic power and the woman's good magic combined letting lose a power and terrifying result~ Angrily the man stood up and glared at table laden with potions, and herbs. The table then flew back suddenly and shattered against the back wall. As debris settled, another man appeared in the chamber.
"You see why we had to isolate you?" the tall, clean-cut man said.
"I never thought this would happen, Altus," the tattered demon said angrily.
"That's right you didn't think. You were a lower level demon, how in the world did you think that you could handle a good witch's power?" Altus asked.
"And I was I supposed to know that the witch would cast that spell."
"Yes, a spell to transfer her power to a demon with no ability to control them…hmmm, brilliant. Anyway, I came because I have a proposition for you. You, my friend Bornin should become a power broker. Go out into the world with a client and give your new found power to a carrier and there you have a self destruction tool. The power will slowly eat away at the victim and if you are lucky maybe even turn the person."
"Altus, you know that either you're born a demon or not at all."
"No, no, what I am saying is what you have is a witch's power. That power combined with one of your demonic powers would throw off any sense of good. Look, once the power is transferred the victim will have a small window of opportunity. And once the power is used in an evil way…"
"The power and person turn evil themselves." Bornin finished with a great look of revelation. Altus just smiled at his friend.

"You know, that A belongs mostly to me. Since I did most of the work," Lor said to Wyatt as they walked down the school steps.
"Hey, I did work too," he replied with a smile.
"Yeah, experimenting with my spell books." Wyatt grinned broadly and slung his arm around Lor's shoulders.
"Oh, come on, you know we make a good team."
"True…we do have our history teacher writhing a thesis on the correct Greek mythology stories." Wyatt laughed at the remark and with his arm still around Lor, they walked across an empty courtyard and sat on a stone bench.
"So, Wyatt, as a son of a renowned Charmed one and an Elder, what exactly are your powers?"
"Its not all what it's cracked up to be. But I have healing and orbbing from dad's side and conjuring and 'tele-orbing' from mom's side. Oh yeah, and I can do a force field, but we haven't quite figured out whose line it came from." Abruptly three demons shimmered into sight.
"There, Bornin, two prime victims. And better, two high school sweethearts," said the taller of the three. Wyatt immediately threw up his shield as Bornin threw a bright white energy ball. The energy ball was absorbed into the shield.
"Witches!" the third demon turned to the taller and said, "if what you say is true about Bornin, Altus, then I can assure you, your pay will be most charitable." With a smile, Altus and Bornin then sent flurries of attacks, but were all blocked by Wyatt's shield. "But if you can't give me a demonstration--"
"You'll get it!" shouted Bornin, "Nullus Transistus!" The air around the group shimmered then faded. The demons then stood still smiling and started to slowly advance.
"Lor! I can't orb!" Wyatt whispered fervently.
"Neither can I!" Lor responded.
""None but demons can transport now. So any more tricks?" Altus laughed as he took another step.
"Run!" Wyatt yelled. And both teens ran quickly away from the proceeding demons and into the nearest building.
"See, you'll get your demonstration. Besides it's always better if they run first." Bornin smiled evilly waiting anxiously for a chance of redemption.
Running through the empty halls, Lor ran her hand down the lockers leaving behind a trail of green and yellow sparkles. Wyatt turned hastily and pulled Lor into an empty classroom and shut the door.
"Lor, we can't orb nor out run them. If you go through the window, you can get away."
"Wrong, remember we're a team. Besides, I think I can slow them down." Lor held up her hand revealing a handful of bright sparkles forming a small cloud over her hand. She closed her hand killing the soft glow. And loud crashes of lockers opening, books scattering and angry cursing filled the halls.
"I think you got 'em." Wyatt said and turned towards the windows. He fumbled with the locks as Lor looked around looking for anything useful. Then her breath froze in her throat as she saw the three demons standing in the back of the classroom.
"Nice try," Bornin said holding up an energy ball. He aimed and threw it at the unsuspecting Halliwell. Lor gasped as the deadly sphere sailed towards her friend.
"Wyatt!"
