More Than Charmed

Ch. 6: Facing Fears

Casey was walking through her house and was seeing her 18th birthday happening right before her eyes. See saw the gifts being opened and her family eating dinner. Then the demons showed up, and this time it was from their perspective. They were making jokes as they threw fire balls and energy balls toward her parents. Suddenly her parents charged the demons. At that same moment the demon pulled out their knives and shoved them into Casey's parents as she saw herself reach the hallway. Both screamed at the same time and the older Casey heard the demons laughed as they were igniting their energy balls as Brian appeared.

Casey bolted upright in bed sweating and shaking all over. 'Why is this dream still haunting me.' She asked herself. 'I need help getting through this while the sisters get that potion ready' Casey started to remember that there was only one person who could help her now. "Micah!" Casey said as she raced to her bag that she had brought with her. In the bag was her journal that she was given by Brian. It was filled with lots of entries; from day to day activities, to spells. "Where is it?" She asked herself then stopped on a page. At the top it said Finding Micah.

Casey walked down into the kitchen area and sat down at the table. Looking over the spell she closed the book and put it into her bag. Once the bag was on her back she said the spell aloud. "Bring me to the person to tell me what to do. He is the one, he is my glue. I need his help as well as love; I need the truth that comes from above. Only Micah is the key, and the only one I need to see." Then in twirling white lights she disappeared.

Park

A man sitting on a bench saw a twirl of lights then a girl appeared. He smiled as she turned around. "I was waiting for you" he said standing up.

"They told you, didn't they?" the girl said back. She went over to the man and hugged him. "I have missed you so much, Micah."

"I've missed you too, Casey. And yes the Elders told me." Micah replied.

"Elders? I thought the Charmed Ones told you." Casey said raising her voice.

"Well sort of. Leo asked the Elders to send a message to me. A friend of mine, a White Lighter, told me." Micah said looking down into the love of his life's eyes. They were full of sadness. "You do know what you're doing is suicide?"

"Yeah, but I have to protect other families from the same fate." Casey answered. "I just don't want anyone going through what you and I did."

"I understand. How are you holding up?" Micah asked.

"Just peachy; I mean today was the second time I couldn't save my family." Casey said as tears filled her eyes.

"It's not your fault, you know?" Micah said holding Casey's hand.

"I know; I just can't believe they're gone. Everyone is gone." Casey said back.

"I'm not. I'm still here with you, like I promised." Micah said with a smile.

"I've missed you so much." Casey said hugging Micah not wanting to let go.

Micah smiled and just held Casey like he used to before this whole ordeal. "Casey, do you have a plan on how to distract the demons?" He asked his girlfriend.

"Not really. I was just going to wing it." Casey said shrugging her shoulders.

"Well it's good to know you haven't changed a bit." Micah said hugging her once more.

"But I still have. Every since you left I have been missing something and I never want to feel that way again." Casey said sounding a little sad.

"I won't leave you ever again, but you know I had to because of…"

"…Because They asked you to." Casey said finishing his sentence. "Why do you always do what They say?"

"Because Brian asked me to." Micah responded. Casey got quite and a tear trickled down her cheek. "Hey, are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah. I just miss them too." Casey said then laying in Micah's lap. He started stroking her head just loving the quite.

The Charmed Ones and Leo orb in to see the cuddling of the two young witches. "Quite a guy you have there." Phoebe said as the group walked up to the young couple.

Casey pushed herself off of Micah and turned to look at the sisters and Leo. Casey smiled, but feeling very embarrassed. "I'm guessing the potion is done then?" Casey asked.

"Not quite, we still need more blood." Paige replied.

"Where did you go Casey?" Leo asked

Casey put her head down remembering why she went to her house. "I went home, or what's left of it. I went walking down memory lane."

"Do you feel any better?" Leo asked trying not to seem cruel.

"I know now why I haven't been able to fight well against these demons. I'm distracted by the past and I'm not. Not any more." As she said this she looked down at her boyfriend, the one who was always there.

Micah smiled at Casey then squeezed her hand. 'She's ready know, more than she will ever be.'

"We can't rush into this because Zanku might have joined in the game." Piper said getting everyone's attention.

"I don't think Zanku would join them. They aren't on his side." Micah remarked.

"How do you know? For all we know, Zanku is behind this whole attack just so we are involved." Piper said sounding a little bit angrier.

"Wait, Piper I think he's right. This isn't what Zanku would do. He knows we can vanquish these demons and he doesn't care. He is just getting time to make a plan." Leo said trying to calm down his wife. Of course it didn't work very well.

"Great! Then when he does come after us he CAN kill us!" Piper yelled then blowing a hole in the park ground. Piper didn't seem to care that she just removed the grass from the ground, she was too pissed off.

"Piper you have to control yourself; if you don't the demons will just have the upper hand." Leo said calmly and more White Lighter like.

"Too late we already have an upper hand." said Kuzor igniting a fire ball and hitting Paige in the right shoulder. Then Veries shimmered in and threw an energy ball toward Leo.

But Paige was faster "Energy ball!", and bounced the energy ball back to its owner with a quick jester.

Just barely reacting to the energy ball it nicked his left arm. "Stupid witches!" Veries yelled. "You will die soon enough." Then both of the demons shimmered out.

"Not before you." Piper whispered.
