A/N: Sorry... I meant to update sooner, I swear. My teacher has me doing this Olympics project thing... it's due on Monday, so I should have a lot more free time next week. :)
Mediatorsk: First you say the song from my Supernatural songfic related to your life, and now you have "You Can't Always Get What You Want" stuck in your head... well, if you didn't already like those songs, I guess you're getting into some good tastes in music! lol :P
rei248: Wow, you read all of my stories? I don't know what to say! (Except that I'm sorry they're so long! I can get kinda carried away...)
dana-maru1: Yep, Allie's back! More of her in this chapter :)
CHAPTER SEVEN
"Saving their butts, apparently," Allie replied to her sister's question. "A demon just attacked."
"Which brings me back to my first question…" Pam said as Jake walked in, "What happened and why weren't you here to protect them?"
"I just got distracted for one second, I swear…" Jake tried to think of an excuse.
"Mm-hm. Sure," Pam replied. She turned back to Allie. "You didn't vanquish him by any chance, did you?"
"No. I couldn't, even though I tried to blow him up like, ten times," Allie replied. "Whoever he is, he's strong. If there's a spell in the Book of Shadows, it's gonna take more than once witch to say it…"
"We know," Chris interjected. "That's what we've been working on."
"Working on? So he's attacked before?" That was when Allie really looked around and started to wonder who the two strangers were. They were looking at her as if trying to figure out the same thing. "Who-?"
"Allie, meet your cousins. Stella and Andy, meet Allie. My sister," Pam introduced.
They awkwardly waved. "What exactly is going on here?" Allie asked, still desperate to sort out all of the confusion.
…………………………………………………
So, once the entire situation had been explained to Allie, she joined Chris and Pam in trying to figure out a way to vanquish the Nattrod. Or rather, make that Nattrods. Another assault was launched, and this time, the demons didn't take any chances. There were three that time, and now that they knew the house was full of witches, they didn't care who to go after anymore. Everyone was wary, as they figured that the enemy would be back soon, and probably with more forces. There had to be some way to stop them… but so far, they had found nothing, and a whole day had gone by.
In order to protect the still-new-to-their-powers Stella and Andy, Chris and Allie stayed in the Manor that night instead of going home. That many Halliwells had notbeen there in a long time. Stella and Andy lay awake in their temporary room, unable to sleep. They worried about the next demon attack coming during the night, when they would have absolutely no defense. Pam had assured them that her crystal security system would warn them all if a presence was in the house- "After all, your mother was the one who invented it," she'd persuaded- but they were still uneasy.
Andy continually tossed and turned. The mattress was uncomfortable, and his head was swimming with thoughts of the day's events. All of a sudden, he was a witch, his sister was a witch, and he had a whole family of witches. He'd found out that his dad had been keeping secrets from them their whole lives. It was all very confusing. Meanwhile, Stella lay awake wondering if the room they were in used to be her mother's. Sure, she wanted to be close to her, but that thought was kind of eerie…
Just then, Stella's cell phone rang. She and Andy jumped and sat up in bed when they heard the noise. Stella rushed over to answer it.
"Do you want to wake everyone up?" Andy whispered.
"Sorry…" Stella replied. "I don't know anyone who calls in the middle of the night, I swear." She opened the phone and pressed the talk button. "Hello?" Andy was waiting for it to be one of her asinine friends, calling to talk about some guy or some TV show. "Dad?" Stella asked in shock as she heard the voice on the other line. Andy instantly swung his head over to face his sister.
A/N: I know it sounds like I ripped off the ending of that Supernatural episode, but I swear I wrote that before I saw the ep. Please review:)
