The Lost Ones
Chapter five: Summoning
"Hey Paige! Where's doctor Will Grant?" Phoebe asked craning her neck to get a look behind her sister.
"You know if you do that long enough you'll be stuck like that." Came Paige's reply. "Oh...come on Paige come details, dish the dirt, I need to live vicariously through you I mean I'm married but with an absentee husband who spends more time up there then down here with his wife and son. So forgive us if we feel the need to know what's going on in your life especially after we was doctor Hottie McDreamy."
"Yeah plus we love you."
"I know…it's just that things were going so well I mean we were talking no awkward silences, he was funny, charming, and most importantly very open about himself and his family. And…well now I just feel crummy."
"Crummy what do you mean?" This came from Phoebe. "Well I mean I was having, no we were having such a great time and then his sister called saying something was up this nephew and he took off like it was a matter of life and death, and I'm sitting there wishing that well let's just say ... oh...I mean God something has happened to his nephew and all I can think of is the fact that my date got cut short."
"We're sorry honey, but till then what was it like? What did he say what did you say come on details." Paige looked at her older sister Piper and couldn't help but smile. "Well for you the mother of my favorite nephew I'll tell you like I said he was funny, and charming, I don't think I laughed so much on a date. But to tell you the truth it's a kind well... he isn't really funny but it's more the way he says it and he way he looks when he say's it. He's got an unbelievable smile. And the best thing is we have so much in common." Paige sighed that happy I'm falling in love sigh. Phoebe and Piper shared knowing looks. "So you guys have stuff in common like what?"
"Well we both were put up for adoption. And found out when we were older that we had siblings in his case he has an older brother and a younger sister. And it's nice to know that it's not weird to bound really fast with your family when you justmeet them."
"So are there plans for another date?"
"Actually yeah there are." Paige said with a huge smile light up her face. Just as the sisters were getting ready to go to the dance floor. They saw Chris towards them and internally groaned. "God what is with him doesn't he take a brake?" said Paige "No he is a man possessed he got a mission he has to save the future." Was Phoebe and Piper's reply.
"Hey! Phoebe why aren't you at home trying to ID the woman from today?" Asked Chris everything about him from his tone, stance, and facial expression was that of pure annoyance. "You've got to be kidding Chris I tried IDing her for God knows how long then I came here. We're never going to find her."
"Well that isn't good enough! All of you should be at home and trying to find answers."
"Get real Chris unlike you we have lives." Came Paige's annoyed reply.
"Well If you don't take your duties more seriously I won't be alive to get life. You don't get it? My life my existences it tied on everything you guys do." His blue eyes were ablaze with such feeling, hurt, anger, and finally disappointment.
The sisters couldn't believe it they never thought that Chris maybe pushing them harder they were used to was for more than just the battle against good and evil but also his own life. 'God how stupid are we he's from the future he's twenty-two years old he isn't born yet. He's risked his own life and existence to try and save Wyatt.' The sisters didn't know it but the same thought past through all their minds at the same time.
"Okay why don't we go home and try again, maybe this time we should ask for a little help." Piper said with a shrug to her shoulders. Chris through her a look that spoke volumes of his gratitude. 'Maybe he's not so bad after all. I mean God it must be hard being in a different time and with know friends. Funny how that sounds similar to high-school?'
When they arrived back home the first thing Paige did was orb the book down to them.
"Okay here it goes." Said Phoebe as she opened the book and said in a clear voice, "we could you a little help down here." As soon as she said this the pages flew open they first opened to the spell used to summon Belthezor, then to call a lost witch, finally fell to the spell to call blood to blood.
"Well that's interesting." Was the only thing Phoebe could say. "I guess this means we have to start writing a new spell."
With that Phoebe got up and went to get a note pad and pen to start working onthe spell.
"God even when he's out of our lives he still comes back to haunt us." Mumbled Paige.
"Technically it's not Cole but a blood relative." Piper's replied as she went about trying to organize the room.
'It can't be. "Hey whitelighter" yelled Cole. "What the hell is going on?" Cole turned to look at Chris. Chris turned to the direction that Cole was yelling at him at and shock his head and mouthed 'not now.'
"Listen I've got to go and check on something" said Chris as he turned to around he signaled to Cole to follow him.
As soon as Chris and Cole left the room, not that Cole's presence was noticed he was after all still in limbo. Phoebe came down the stairs "I have the spell ready I think it would be best if use the power of three. I mean I remember when we tried to summon C….um Belthezor it didn't always work he could ignore it and if the being were summoning is his relative she more than likely to have the same power."
"Okay that makes sense." Both Piper and Paige said at the same.
"So let's get with the summoning and start with the questioning."
"Okay" Phoebe came to stand in between both of her sisters together they began to chant the spell,
"Magic to Magic,
be she far be she near,
we ask the blood of Belthezor,
now appear"
When the sisters finished chanting the spell the manor was suddenly filled with a bone chilling, howling wind. In front of them a mini tornado began to form it crackled with mini magical sparks, the sisters turned there heads from the wind when it stopped they turned to see that standing before them was the woman that they had saved earlier that day.
"Oh… it's you witches again listen I'm grateful you guys should up when you did, but like I said I don't have time to chit chat. So if you don't mind I'll be going."
"Wait we want to help" cried Phoebe desperately
"You want to help?" the woman let out a menacing laugh and then turned her ice blue eyes to Phoebe and said, "if you call vanquishing help I'll think I'll pass, because if I remember my brother I think you drove him crazy. I really can do without that help thank you very much." She spat out her rant with such venom and hatred that all the sisters had to flinch they didn't need Phoebe's empathy power to know that the woman standing before them hated them and not like most demons hate the charmed ones for being the defenders of the innocents she hated them for something more personal; the death of a family member. The death of her brother.
"Listen I know you probably hate me, but you don't know what happened." Phoebe tried to reason.
"I didn't know what happened. Trust me witch I know a lot more than you would ever know. Listen for as much as I would like and sit here and rip into you for what you did to my brother I really don't have the time someone I love very much is dying. And I promised I would take care of him."
"The child we saw right." This observation came from Piper, when the woman nodded her head Piper stepped forward and said, "well Phoebehad a premonition to save you and the child, maybe wewere meant to help?" Piper held her breath hoping her reasoning would convince the woman to stay. She was meet with icy blue eyes that were regarding her coolly, to Piper it felt like the woman was trying to read her mind, or was it look into her soul to get the answer she needed to know whether she should trust her or not. The woman just nodded her head and said, "Okay but I need to go and get Benny."
"Okay umm…what's your name?"
The woman smiled and said, "Ellie" with that she shimmered out of the Halliwall home.
Little did they know that they were setting in motion a prophesy, a prophesy forgotten or lost by both good and evil. A prophesy that would end the constant battle between good and evil.
