Chapter 4 – Knowing

We were making a vanquishing potion for the Etaren demon and all day Chris has given me dirty looks, so I gave him the evil eye back. When he went out again I asked Piper about it.

"You should be told I guess…the reason that he doesn't trust you is that he…"

She paused I was standing opposite her in the kitchen, and I could see that she was debating with her self whether to tell me or not finally she made up her mind.

"He heard…"

She was interrupter by a crashing sound in the lounge room where Wyatt was. I followed Piper just in time to see Wyatt burn a demon with his eyes. Piper was shocked, she couldn't believe that Wyatt was able to do that.

"He'll be really powerful when he is able to use Excalibur" I said.

She was about to ask me something when Chris orbed in and just after that so did some more Etaren's. Somehow I could feel more demons about to shimmer into the room. When they appeared Chris with the flick of his wrist was throwing them across the room using telekinesis and Piper would blow them up. But as more were vanquished more would appear. Chris and Piper stopped killing them and I counted at least 10 demons in the room.

Use the spell that's in the book of shadows Wyatt told me telepathically. I saw that the book was still open on the table but from this angle, because there were demons in the way, I couldn't see the whole spell.

I can't see all of it and it won't work anyway I sent back.

Just say the stupid spell! The demons are starting to close in on us Sure enough three demons started advancing towards me. I closed my eyes.

Hurry up and say it, say it now! I felt his anger unlock and burst something inside of me through our link. I said the spell.

"Hell threw you from its inner core,

but earth doesn't want you anymore,

From other worlds far and near,

get these Etaren's out of here,

Since heaven cannot be your place,

your flesh and bone will now erase"

Nothing happened at first they all started laughing at me. All of a sudden they stopped their faces portrayed there fear. First their legs started to dissolve then their waists and it kept on going until there was nothing left. They all dissolved into nothing before our eyes. Wyatt let down his shield. I started shaking all over and nearly collapsed. I couldn't believe what had just happened I couldn't have done that because I have no magic. Do I? No Wyatt must have channelled his powers through me.

Took long enough, well done though

"Are they all gone?" I asked sitting down on the couch.

"Yeah" Chris replied coming from the dinning room. The look on his face was priceless it was a mixture of disbelief and amazement. "They all dissolved" I think he was a little slow that day.

"Do you have any idea who might have sent them?" Piper asked holding Wyatt on her hip. Before thinking I blurted out.

"It might have been Gideon" Piper and I looked at each other then at Chris.

"What about Gideon? What are you not telling me?" he demanded. Piper gave me a warning look and Chris was glaring at both of us. He asked again. Piper sighed then nodded. I told him what I had told Piper. Chris stared in disbelief but that quickly turned to anger.

"That basted!" Smashing his hand on the table "It was him all along…so all those he times he was trying to lure us away from Wyatt just to kill him or make him evil! Does Leo know?"

"Yes" Piper, said. Chris looked at me again.

"And how do you know all this?" I told him my story about them all being TV actors. He actually laughed when I told him then he stopped realising that what I said was true.

"Ok, plan of action. Kill Gideon before he harms Wyatt agreed?"

Not such a good idea bro It was strange Wyatt's face showed no sign of his maturity.

"What do you propose we do then?" I asked him Wyatt said nothing. Chris looked at me weirdly then at Piper.

"Do you have any idea's Mum?"

"No, but I think we should tell Leo" just then blue and white orbs formed and Leo appeared in front of them.

"Hey I was just coming down when you called."

"Leo a group of Etarens just attacked us," Piper stated

"How many"

"About 10 or 12, not quite sure"

"10…it was 10 I counted them" From the corner of my eye I saw him watching me.

"Was anyone hurt? How did you get rid of them all?"

"Kirra vanquished them"

"Well…it wasn't me it was Wyatt he channelled his powers through me" Leo's reaction was just like Chris.

Wrong-o Wyatt said.

"What! How all of them"

"Yes" They were all looking at me and I was getting uncomfortable.

"Do you mind not staring at me…it's about time Paige and Phoebe arrived." Just after I said that they appeared surrounded by blue and white orbs.

"Hey all" Paige said cheerfully. She noticed them all staring from her to me.

"What are you all looking at?" she was puzzled.

"Kirra just predicted that you would be here soon"

"How? I thought that you said that she didn't have any magic?" Phoebe asked

"I don't know. I think I felt your orbs or magic or something…" Lost in concentration I didn't hear their conversation but I knew that they were getting filled in on today's events. Wyatt interrupted my thoughts.

You're going to be a really powerful witch when you learn to control your power

No I didn't, and would stop saying that I have powers because I don't I was getting annoyed partly because I was tired.

Getting better, you just telepathically answered me back I thought struck me.

Do you know anything about a prophecy?

I have heard of one or two but the one you seek to hear will not be told to you until it is time Oh great his gone all old and wise on me typical. I yawned. Piper cooked dinner then ushered me off to bed. It was only 8o'clock and Wyatt was asleep too so I went to bed.

I could hear murmuring from downstairs at first I thought that everyone was still awake. Then I realised that the voices were too deep to be the Charmed ones. I was debating whether to go down or not when curiosity got the better of me. I slowly walked down the hallway to the top of the stairs. From there I could see three men wearing long black robes with hoods. They seemed to be having a little argument. One of them said something and the other two stopped. They began chanting something inaudible. I started getting a headache but I ignored it and continued to watch. Their arms were out in front of them palms down. They seemed to chanting in a different language, but I started to understand, the words started to form in my head.

The girl who we now mention,

Comes from another dimension,

We call on her now to follow us,

To change her evil without fuss,

From good to evil she shall turn,

All the good inside her shall burn.

As soon as I understood those words, my headache got worse. I felt a burning sensation in head and heart. I collapsed at the top of the stairs clutching my head in my hands. All these images started running through my head. I swear I was about to burst. What felt like hours was only minutes. I felt doubt and hopelessness sneaking in. I tried to hold the spell away but I couldn't. My defence collapsed even though there wasn't much anyway. They seemed to be sucking all the goodness and happiness out of me. I went numb, all feeling and emotion drained away. Nothing mattered. I saw my best friends getting killed and I didn't care. I was actually happy that they were dead I watched as they slowly burnt up and felt like laughing (it was the spell).

The images disappeared and I saw the three black robed men standing over me. The chanting had changed from menacing to beckoning. I didn't care, I stood up and was about to grab the outstretched hand. When I felt someone else invite themselves into my head. They linked up with mind and started to push back the hooded figures spell. I regain my mind and body and feeling. And I started to feel scared. I felt myself about to orb then I orbed up to the attic. I still had to get to use to orbing my legs were shaking a little bit but that was it. I turned to see Chris next to me.

"What…"

Was about all I could manage before the hooded figures appeared. They shimmered into the room and they looked really pissed off. They conjured up some fireballs and started throwing them at us. I dived one was and Chris the other. Obviously they didn't think I was a threat because they were only attacking Chris. He was getting three firer balls at once thrown at him. He threw orb balls back but they took to long to conjure up and he could only fire one at a time. I looked around the room for something to distract them long enough for Chris to do something. There was nothing, Chris was hiding behind the couch. They shimmered and disappeared just I stood up next to Chris.

"Have they gone completely?" I asked. He stood looking around the room really tense.

"I think so."

But he was wrong. They re-appeared and threw more firer balls but this time I was in the way and they hit me instead. I fell to the ground. Two had hit me straight in the stomach and the other grazed my arm. They looked upside down from my point of view but I noticed they stopped firing.

Do you know us? They asked I didn't get to reply because pain shot through me. I screamed. The pain was unbearable. I was bleeding a lot from my stomach. I felt the three hooded figures hesitated before leaving. Chris was at my side trying to heal me but his energy levels were low. I could now hear the three sisters coming to the attic.

"Leo" Chris called desperately. The pain was getting worse and I was feeling woozy.

"What happened?" Piper asked.

Chris ignored her and continued to try and heal me. Leo orbed in and rushed over to me. I could see they were all very worried. Leo was on his knees and helping Chris. I felt the pain subside and a healing energy fill the affected area instead.

"Kirra can you hear me?" Chris asked, I nodded and sat up. The room spun then stopped.

"Who were they?" Leo asked

"Don't know" he sat back exhausted.

"What happened?" Piper asked again. Chris told them what happened.

"They asked me if I knew them." Puzzled expressions all around and Chris was the most puzzled.

"How? I didn't hear them"

"They asked telepathically" I looked at him with questioning eyes "How did you know that I was in trouble?"

"You my charge I sense when they're in trouble"

"Oh" I closed my eyes, I tired and had a slight headache.

"Why are they after Kirra?" Paige asked

"I think they wanted to keep her alive, for what purpose I don't know. They were also chanting something that I didn't understand" Chris stated

"The girl who we now mention,

Comes from another dimension,

We call on her now to follow us,

To change her evil without fuss,

From good to evil she shall turn,

All the good inside her shall burn…"

"Was that the spell?"

"Yeah…" I said thinking "Can I have a look at the book of shadows?"

"Yeah it's over there on the stand." When I got up my legs shacked a little but I ignored it. I remembered what they looked like and wanted to find them in the book. After flipping page after page they weren't in there.

"There not in the book." I stated.

"Are you sure?" Leo asked. Chris got up and looked through the book as well. He got the same conclusion as I did. He slammed the book shut. I sighed.

"Kirra why don't you got to bed. You look really tired."

Even though I wasn't that tired I went anyway I walked out of the attic and decided to explore the house a little. In this house there were more rooms than it looked like on TV. I was walking down the hallway and I noticed the attic door was opened a little. I heard them talking and I stopped to listen

"She has power but she doesn't know it. It seems to be locked up like someone has bound her powers." I heard Phoebe say.

"Do you think that's why the demons were after her?" Paige asked.

"Yes and no." That was Leo "The elders tell me of a prophesy that is to be fulfilled. One will start a chain of events that won't stop until she arrives again…"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Chris asked.

"I don't know and either do the elders" There was a moment of silence.

"Do they have any idea when will happen?" Piper asked.

"They think that the chain has already started" They were all silent again.

"Better get to bed then" Piper said.

I raced down to the room I was staying in and jumped into bed with the covers up. Someone opened the door then closed it again. I waited until I heard nothing except the old house creaking slightly. I relaxed. My thoughts went back to the conversation I just heard. How am I supposed to fight demons if I don't know any spells? I looked over at the time. I was shocked to find that it was it was only 1:00 in the morning. I was to wound up to sleep. I decided to read the book of shadows and learn the spells that are in the book. I headed for the attic expecting someone to wake up. No one did. It wasn't dark in the attic because the moonlight was shining in. I was going to turn the light switch on but I spotted a candle with matches over the other side of the room. I lit the candle and nearly burnt my fingers. I sat in the floor with the book of shadows and read. I got through the whole book. And I noticed light on the horizon I put the book and the candle away before I went back to bed and finially fell asleep.
