Charmed And Cursed
Chapter one: Rescuing an innocent
He knew they had once raised him.
He knew he had been destined for being the head of the pack. But how could he when they caused so much death and destruction to his kin?
He knew he shouldn't be returning here. But hate had consumed all the love he had once had and now he was going after them.
He stalked the shadows of unknown San Francisco listening for their call. He would kill this time. They had taken everything from him and he was determined that he should take that from them.
Their call thundered into his ears. Someone had made a blunder. Someone was about to die.
Someone had attacked the Charmed Ones. He could hear their panic in their howls. The Death Howls echoed through the empty buildings and he narrowed his eyes and plunged into the gloom.
He had taken them by surprise and the guards were down before they even turned round. He felt nothing. He saw nothing. All he saw was revenge.
He had once been one of these creatures but they had killed the only true family he had ever had.
Now he was going to kill theirs.
If only he could fine the father. The head of the pack.
Xanth.
He dived at one creature snarling as loud as any of them. Soon they would know pain.
The Charmed Ones were coming….
Piper, Phoebe and Paige were demon hunting. The demon they were after had made the mistake of coming after Chris. Piper was protective enough without the added worry of demon attack so now the Charmed Ones were hunting.
Paige had scyed with the blood of the demon and found him to be injured in one of the alleyways in down town San Francisco. So that was were the Charmed Ones were now headed.
"What did the book say again?" Piper said concentrating on driving "That the Demon was called Xanth and it's not a demon it's a werewolf." She corrected her sister. "Whatever its all the same to me. It's gonna die." Piper said gripping the steering wheel more than was necessary.
"I've finished the vanquish." Paige said looking up from the back where she was scribbling in a notebook. "Where's the potion?" She asked. Phoebe held up a jet-black potion. "This will kick some werewolf ass." She smiled.
Piper pulled over the car and they all got out. Piper looked down the alley and said, "Okay where now?"
As if in answer to her question howls started to echo up the alleyway and deafened them. There was something eerie about the whole thing. "Oh Hell what's their problem?" Piper demanded throwing her hands over her ears in an effort to protect them.
Paige and Phoebe did the same and Phoebe said over the dinn "Death howls. Someone has attacked the pack." "How do you know that?" Paige yelled "Well since I don't have powers at the moment I took to memorising the Book of Shadows."
"Can we have this discussion later?" Piper demanded, "This is hardly the time Pheebs." She said. "You asked."
Phoebe shrugged in her no nonsense way. The walked down the alley they heard snarling and a yell.
"Hell!" Piper screamed picking up her pace her sisters tearing after her.
"Piper wait up!" Phoebe yelled as they plunged into the dark alleyway. "Why do I always end up in heels when we're hunting?" Paige demanded. Phoebe didn't have time to answer. The snarling grew loader and the yells grew louder. The sound of someone in pain.
The sisters came to a stop in front of a closed down muggy building. The snarls grow loader and loader and the howls surround the sisters and Piper grows pale. "Okay guys are you ready?"
They nod determined. She nods turns and blows up the door blocking their way. Once inside she freezes the room. The sisters filter in one by one. They take in the scene around them. They themselves freeze. There is a circle of werewolves and in the middle is a boy. No older than eighteen.
He is frozen and is in fighting stance. He is holding a sword and a gun and gritting his teeth. Everything in his stance is defiance.
The sisters take in the scene. Piper dashes to the centre of the circle and unfreezes the guy in the centre of the circle. He looks at her for a moment and smiles. "I knew you'd come." Then he turns to the wolves. His face turns to horror. "Get out the way!"
He pushes Piper aside and lungs with his sword. The sword meets its mark with deadly accuracy and the wolf screams. The boy twists it free at that moment there is an explosion.
"Piper come on!" Paige has thrown the potion. "Come on we can finish it!" Phoebe screams Piper runs towards her sisters blowing a hole in any of the werewolves that try to get in her way.
"There's no time!" The guy screams as he fires off the last of his ammunition and throws the empty gun at another. "Come on we have to go!"
He pulls the sisters towards the door and turns to Piper. "Call for Leo. Now!" Piper stares "DO IT!" He yells, "They're coming!"
The sound of snarling and howling fills the air. Death howls. Now the pack had turned their attentions from their dead comrades to revenge on the ones that had caused the pack this harm.
The snarling grows louder.
"LEO!"
Myrenna had felt nothing of the one she had searched the world one hundred times over though she knew he was alive. He was alive somewhere on the earth because she felt the old link between them flare and her heart broke all over again.
Because she hadn't been strong enough to stop them.
She would never see him again.
She had left her Clan for that. Forsaken her family. She knew her brothers and sisters still searched for her. She had seen them over the last two hundred years as she killed every demon that crossed her path.
She had seen them. She had spoken with them. She had missed them but she could not, would return with them. Not even after two hundred years the pain was still too great.
It had been a lonely existence stalking the planet alone feeling the bond hum and grow and never knowing where it would lead. Never knowing where he was. But knowing he was somewhere on Earth loving another when he should have loved her.
She often felt green-eyed envy at the thought of someone else being with him and that jealousy consumed her. It should be her. It was meant to be her.
Damn her father.
Damn the Elders.
She'd kill every single one of them if she thought she'd get him back. But she knew that it wouldn't work.
Now for the first time she could feel him near her. He was somewhere in San Francisco and she was going to find him. She had been kept from him too long.
Then she heard the calls.
Death Calls.
Werewolves.
He was in the werewolf pit. Her heart lurched into her throat. What was he doing there? She tore through the city feeling for any trace of his life force.
She had to get to him.
A sense of urgency like she had never felt before gripped her system. He was fighting them. He hated them. She could feel his hate radiating on her from across the city.
"Hold on John," She whispered
"Hold on I'm coming I swear I'll be here for you this time. I swear I don't want to leave you."
She flamed up then. She had finally figured out where he was. Where they were doing battle when she felt someone calling for her.
"Not again!" She cursed and flamed up as she was pulled through time and space to answer the call of those she hated the most.
"You still haven't told us how you knew who we were?" Piper said crossing her arms. Phoebe and Paige stood with their sister but despite the seriousness of the situation they had to conceal fits of giggles as Wyatt copied his mother crossing his arms.
He blinked and orbed himself in front of the innocent who turned out to be one of Leo's charges and smiled up at him while his force field came up around him.
Piper said, "Why did he do that?" "Because Jake is half Werewolf." Leo said. "He also happens to be a demon hunter and a persistent one at that." He eyed the teenager before him. "I've told you before not to go back to The Pack."
"They need wiping out." Jake said with a passion that momentarily shocked the sisters into silence.
"But you are not the person to do it Jake. We've been over this." Leo said "and what you're doing is so different?" Jake said his arms crossed. "Its too dangerous for you." Leo said. "Leo, you've been my guardian for as long as I can remember I know you won't let anything happen to me."
"You're the only one that ever cared about me enough." "Why attack those that you are part kin?" Paige asked Jake scoffed. I am no more their kin than you are. " I was bitten after my mother was killed three years ago. They have been chasing me ever since. Leo saved my life. His healing stopped the transformation but I still retain some of their strengths and their weaknesses."
He frowned "I still need to feed." The fury coming off him was apparent.
"That doesn't make you evil Jake." Leo said clapping his charge on the shoulder. "Its ho we use the powers we have that determines who we are. You know I believe in you."
Jake smiled up at the only person that had ever been constant in his life. Leo was like a father, a brother and a friend all rolled into one. He had been there for Jake since his mother had been killed.
He had always been there. Leo was the best thing that had come out of all of this. He regarded Piper and her sisters. "Thanks for getting me out of there."
"You shouldn't have barrelled in there like that you could have been hurt." Piper said, "It's what you do on a daily basis how can you be so hypocritical?" Jake smiled "Because she has Paige and I to rely on if we get into trouble." Phoebe said.
"Who do you have?" "Leo." Was Jake's swift reply. "Of course lately he has decided that he'll ignore my calls." He shot at Leo. Leo was about to answer when Piper said, "Join the club."
Leo turned to Piper and said, "You know it's important to me." "And the boys aren't?" Piper shot back. "That's why I'm doing it because I want them to be safe."
He turned to Jake "Speaking of which the other Elders told me you have to stick with me for a little while. The demon's resurfaced." "Aww Leo! She won't be able to see me!"
"That's not the point and you know it. I'm not having you in danger. Not after all this time Jake." "Wait, hold up!" Paige said interrupting the conversation.
"What do you mean?" "He's one of my charges that I cloak." Leo said. Piper went pale. She remembered what had become of Leo the last time she had come into contact with one of his cloaked charges.
"It's not like that Piper." Leo said reading her expression. "The Elders have made me cloak Jake permantly. He is wanted by a high level demon and has been for some time. I've always been Jake's protector. Although he doesn't help me."
Leo shot Jake a look that said no more hunting. "Fine. Until she goes back below ground." "That's all I ask." Leo said.
He stiffened and the girls and Jakes looked up as they heard the telltale jingling that signalled an Elders summons or communication.
"What is it?"
Phoebe asked as soon as she was sure the communication was finished. "There's a gathering of underworld leaders now in the Source's old residence. I have to cloak you and allow you to witness it."
"Come on then." Paige said, "Then maybe we can help Jake." Jake smiled. "Stay here!" Piper warned and said "Ok Leo a little help."
He waved his hand at her and all three sisters felt the tingling sensation of a cloak being placed on them and the whirling sensation of moving.
They were going to the Underworld.
