Last time…

"My name is Prue." she said. One last smile and she was gone.

Chapter 6

Gabriel woke up then, more peacefully than he ever had in his entire life. He lay on his bed for a few moments, mulling over Prue's words.

It never occurred to him to even think it had been just a dream, meaningless. He knew that it wasn't, just as surely as he knew that pleasure was good, and pain bad.

His lovable mother entered his room then, interrupting his musings. He looked at her terrified; surely she didn't know his train of thought, already?

"I'm going out." she said, in a voice that was not unlike nails on chalkboard for him, "and don't you dare leave the house while I'm gone."

"And believe me, I'll know if you do", she added ominously as she left, carefully locking (both magically and physically) the apartment door behind her.

Gabriel breathed again, and he felt his heart start up (he could've sworn both had stopped for the few moments his mom had been present).

"So, that proves one of Prue's claims right-mom didn't get a premonition. That means she probably won't get any as far as this little escapade of mine is concerned." He thought out lot.

"So, Prue's got to be correct about the spell thing too." He continued. He sighed. Being assured that he knew a spell instinctively was one thing. To actually bring it to mind was another.

"Maybe if I wish for it to come to me." He wondered out loud. So, feeling incredibly stupid, he deadpanned, "Spell, come to me!"

He waited a good 10 seconds hopefully, but knowing in his heart all the same that it wasn't working.

Fifteen minutes later, he had tried out a close to a million variations of 'spell, come to me!', without so much as a syllable coming into his mind. He felt like ripping his hair out in frustration.

"PRUE!" he bellowed, "How on earth am I supposed to remember this spell, when I don't even know how to remember! A little help would be really appreciated here, y'know!"

As if in response to his outburst, incomprehensible calm spread over his body, soothing his frustrated nerves. "Thanks, Prue", he said, smiling, because he knew for certain that it had been her.

Soothed and relaxed now, he sat down and purged his mind of all thoughts. He sat calmly, deliberately not thinking of anything at all- content to know that what he needed was coming and not stressing over the fact that it still hadn't.

If he had been familiar with whitelighters and their powers, he'd have known that this was the exactly the mind set that they used while trying to sense their charges.

And then, finally something happened. It was as if his tongue had been loosened, as if someone else was trying to speak through him- but he didn't feel threatened.

He calmly repeated the spell that came to his mind, even though he was pretty sure that he'd never known the words before-

"An bhfuil tú fúar,

Tá mé ag dul anois,

Nach bhfuil siad deas,

Tá muid álainn."

As he said the powerful words, he could sense power awakening inside him, he could feel the energy uncoiling and then he felt it leaving him and going out towards the cosmos, going out to accomplish the task he had asked them to do.

And accomplish their task they did. As soon as Gabriel had said the words, another witch had been affected by them, a witch by the name of Christopher Perry Halliwell.

Right at that moment, he had been in his aunt, Paige's class at Magick School. He gasped out loud as he felt the magick encompassing him. He knew at once of course that the magick wasn't intended to harm. Within a nanosecond, he had also found out all that he needed to know about the witch he'd been trying to sense and Paige trying to scry for a few days now, all that he needed to know to find him.

Looking down upon it all, Prudence Halliwell smiled.

And, oh yeah, the usual disclaimer goes for this chappy too.

Thanks for the reviews that I've been getting.

The spell, in case you're wondering, is in Gaelic. As isolated sentences, they make perfect sense, but not in context. I wanted to make this spell a little more different than the commonplace English rhymes, so I chose this.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough Irish to actually write out a spell, so I just wrote in random sentences.
