Chapter ten

Paige and Piper orbed to the outside of the dump almost as soon as Leo had left with little Phoebe. They seemed to have orbed to the right spot – dump on one side of an empty lot, and a building with an abandoned sign on the other. Paige looked from the empty lot to the building and back to Piper again.

"We have two options by the looks of things," she explained. "They're either in the abandoned building –"

"Or this empty lot really isn't an empty lot at all and they've cloaked the building that really stands here."

"And judging how little Phoebe said the empty lot was what she saw first, I'm guessing that this is where they are."

"So how do we get in?" Piper asked.

Paige closed her eyes and tried to orb, and, as she did, got thrown into the street violently with a grunt.

Piper's eyes went wide and she ran over to her baby sister. "What the Hell was that?" She let out.

"They must have put more than just a cloaking spell around the building…" She trailed, tending to her back. She attempted to get up. Piper walked over to the empty lot, careful to keep her distance and studied it. Paige slowly managed to get up, grumbling and groaning as she did and joined her sister.

"We're gonna blow this baby up." Piper put her hands into fists and went to blow up whatever surrounded the building when Paige made a grab for her hands. "Wh… What are you doin'!" She yelled.

"I orbed and got thrown onto my ass – who's to say if you blow up the gate, you won't blow yourself up?"

"Take a risk and make a sacrifice – isn't that what you were saying before?"

"I didn't mean sacrifice yourself!" Paige let out, annoyed.

"Well what are wesupposed to do?" Piper looked at Paige in frustration and confusion. Piper got a shock when Paige returned the same look.

Prestyn sat in a corner trapped in an invisible cage, sobbing and sniffling. She tried to shimmer – more than once – it didn't work and she couldn't understand why it wasn't working. Normally if she thought about another place she would be there. When she thought about being safe in her mommy's arms; nothing happened. She let out a little yelp when she couldn't shimmer – this gave her attention from Cole. He looked over to herand walked over to the corner that his daughter was trapped in; he squatted down and Prestyn scurried further back into the wall, not realizing that she wasn't going anywhere, just focusing on getting away from this man. "Uncie Leo!" Prestyn screeched.

Cole chuckled evilly. "That won't work." Prestyn continued to sob and sniffle, burying her head into her knees which were drawn up close to her chest. Cole took on mock sympathy. "Aw honey," he began as he wiped a tear from his daughter's cheek – she flinched and gasped. "Why are you crying, huh? We can't have a cry-baby ruling can we?"

"I don't want to rule! I want my mommy!" She screamed, fresh, hot tears running down her face.

Cole sighed. "Do you even know what 'rule' means?" Prestyn shook her head and looked to the ground. "It means you get to be the boss. You get to be the boss of all of everyone down here and they will treat you like a Queen and you don't have to follow anyone's rules – doesn't that sound like fun?" He condescended. Although at five years old, Prestyn would hardly know the difference. Prestyn sniffled in answer. "If you stay here with me, you can have everything and anything you want and you don't have to ask for it. No one says 'no' down here either."

Prestyn looked at Cole. She wiped the last of her tears and took a deep breath. "What about my mommy?"

Cole scoffed. "What about your mommy?" He sneered.

"Well can she stay too?" Innocence reined her.

"Well no she can't."

"You said nobody says 'no', but you just said no!"

"I'm allowed to say no."

"Why?"

"Because right now; I am the boss and you are not. When you get older, then you can be the boss."

"You were mean toAunt Paige and mommy and Wyatt and Chris – I don't wanna stay here with a bad man who hurts people."

"I'm not a bad man – I'm your daddy," he spat out – surprised that it had sounded more like he was hurt rather than sounding manipulative.

Prestyn went wide-eyed and gasped. "You are not my daddy! My daddy would never be mean to my mommy or my Aunt Piper or myAuntie Paigeor my Wyatt or my Chris! My daddy is in the arms of the angels and my mommy says he was a nice man and I would have really liked him – and I do not like you!" She screamed.

At this, Cole's eyes flamed over. He had had enough – he could handle being told that he was hated from various strangers, humans – even his ex-wife (the only love of his life – literally), but he would not take it from his daughter – his five year old daughter no less! Part of him wanted to kill her; yet the other part of him wanted to keep her as his successor but knew that if he didn't kill her he would grow to love her – this was a battle that he was not particularly happy in partaking. The part of him that wanted to keep her only wanted to keep her as his successor because he knew that at such a young age, she would be easy to persuade – she could turn her against her family as time went by if he wanted to; he knew that this was too easy… yet somehow, this plan was proving him wrong. He got up and stalked away from Prestyn. He knew that if he was going to do this, he would have to do it the only way he knew how – through trade.

"Find one or all of the witches and bring them here!" He bellowed. Three of the hooded figures shimmered out upon his command.


Okay it's a bit of a long shot... maybe a short shot, but i didnt know whether to end it or not... if i hadnt ended it, it could have gone on for ages and ages! so i'd rather stop it now, and have a deeper and longer chapter next time (it covers over three whole dot points! OH MY GOD!) but you need to keep on the kylie bandwagon in order to find out what is going on!

SO HIT THE BUTTON! HIT THE BUTTON! HIT THE BUTTON:)
