Hey everyone! Here I come to save you from the cliff-hanger I put you through last time. Hope you'll forgive me with this…sooooo, Zach or Jake? Or maybe, Michael?
Mwhahaha.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters that were in Charmed. It's kinda sad actually.
I just stared, stupid, stupid me! It was like the car incident all over again, but I didn't have the near-death experience as an excuse. Strange thing was, as I struggled to find something to say, anything to say, Zach turned and stared at me, not acting surprised or anything. In fact, as I uneasily stared back, he almost looked relieved.
"I…umm…hi." Smooth Kitty…real smooth. He smiled at me, and I fainted a little inside.
"I'm glad you finally came, I mean, I was a bit worried you wouldn't show up for your meeting with Leo."
What the hell? How did he know about that…was the stalker about to turn into the stalked? I felt the winds picking up around me, as per usual when I got a bit freaked out, soon we might be standing in a tornado if I wasn't careful.
"How do you know about that?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady, using confidence that I didn't have.
He put up his hands in a signal that he didn't mean any harm. "Calm down, I know that I have a lot to explain, in a short time before Leo gets here. First of all, if you thought that you were unique, the only witch in this school, you were wrong. I'm a witch, my parents were, and their parents were. I sensed your powers the first time you walked into this school, and Leo…well, he's also my whitelighter. I'm sure by now you've heard rumours about what happened to me last night, and…I'm sure that I wasn't attacked by a normal teenager."
He paused; there was an odd expression on his face, like he was being forced to relive a painful memory.
"I was hit from behind, knocked out for a couple of hours. I had a dream, I was on stage at the Talent Show and my band was playing. Suddenly it felt like the words were being pulled out of the mouth and in a couple seconds, I couldn't sing at all."
The words choked up in his throat, I wanted to go over and comfort him or something, but once again my limbs failed me.
"I woke up, still in the locker room, no one had seen me. The first thing I did was try and sing, to make sure what happened was just a dream." He lowered his voice to a whisper, "but I couldn't. This may sound far-fetched, but I'm sure someone magical must have stolen my voice or something."
It dawned on me, of course! He had sounded exactly like Zach. "Michael Ruth…" I started to say, but was interrupted by the sound of orbing behind me.
"Kitty!" Said Leo, "I'm sorry that I'm late, there was some drama with Wyatt at home…" He stopped when he caught sight of Zach, "Zach, what are you doing here? Is something wrong?"
I looked at Zach, wanting him to tell Leo what he told me. He looked straight at me, and his eyes told me not to mention anything. When he turned to Leo, his face was void of any emotion.
"No Leo, Kitty and I are just friends at school. Well, I guess I'll get out of your hair now." Zach said, waving a hand and then walking around the corner.
Leo looked troubled for a few seconds and then smiled at me. "He's a good boy…well, shall we go?" He asked, offering his arm. I accepted and soon the feeling of orbs surrounded me.
Once again we appeared outside the huge, Victorian house. We walked up the stairs in silence and Leo opened those beautiful doors.
"Piper?" He called out, but this time it wasn't his wife that came around a corner, it was another good-looking brunette.
"She's upstairs, waiting with Paige for our visitor." Said the woman, she smiled at me and seemed nice enough. Extending her hand to me, she introduced herself. "I'm Phoebe, you're Kitty right?"
I managed to shake her hand and work up a weak smile. "Yes." I said, "it's nice to meet you."
Leo once again left me on my own to look after his son, while Phoebe and I climbed up the stairs to her attic. We made it to the small door, when she opened it I was expecting kind of the same thing as yesterday. Boy, was I wrong. Right smack in the middle of the room was easily the ugliest thing I had ever seen in my life. It was huge and monstrous and…well, it smelt bad.
"Hi Kitty!" I saw the familiar face of Piper who was standing on the opposite side of the room. Seeing her calmed me a bit, but come on, a demon on my second day? "This handsome fellow tried to attack us today, so I thought maybe we could get into Demons 101."
I nodded silently, but the demon still growled at me. Suddenly, he lunged, I gasped and moved back. Before making it to me, it will like an electric shock passed through his body and he was pushed back.
"Crystal cage." Said another woman in the room, standing besides the Book of Shadows. I hadn't noticed her until then, but she was clearly very beautiful with a slight resemblance to the other two sisters. "It's quite useful in many situations, I'm guessing we should be getting you one."
"That's Paige," said Piper quickly, "our third sister." She smiled at me and I smiled back.
I guess it was time for some demon butt-kicking. Serious anger management.
Yaaaaay! Chapter 6, aren't I just great? Hope you enjoyed it, and hopefully part seven will be up soon, especially since I have a long weekend coming up.
Toodles!
