Sitting on Wyatt's bed, Keira closed her Math notebook after finishing her homework. Putting away her school things, she returned to sit on the bed with her grimoire. It had been given to her by her grandmother, and all sorts of potions and incantations were written down. It was small, but he had never let her down. She had always gotten away with her grimoire, which was smaller than Halliwell's Book of Shadows, but just as effective. The necklace she wore had been passed down from generation to generation in her family. She had inherited it on her tenth birthday, when she had discovered the power to control water. Over time, she had managed to control the four elements, but she no longer used them. Keira knew she was going to have to reveal this particular gift to the sisters, but the later the better. All she wanted was to get rid of Crowley, but she also needed to understand who she was, and for that, only her grandmother could answer her. Keira left the room, her grimoire in her hands, and went up to the attic where she found Wyatt, Chris, Bianca, Melinda and Billie.

"Look who finally decided to join us !" teased Chris, who was filling a vial with a yellow liquid.

"I see you are brewing potions." she noted.

"We are preparing as best we can." Bianca said.

"Did you want something ?" Wyatt asked him.

"I need to talk to my grandmother, and I know you can help me." Keira replied.

Come here !" Wyatt told her who was near the Book of Shadows.

Melinda, helped by Billie, arranged the candles in a circle and lit them. Wyatt flipped through the pages of the Book of Shadows and found the spell he was looking for.

"You have to recite it yourself, because if Chris or I recite it, we'll bring our Grandma." Wyatt told him.

"Reassure us, have you ever recited formulas ?" Chris asked.

"You are really stupid !" Keira replied.

Wyatt chuckled, which earned him a glare from his little brother. Keira took a deep breath, and recited the formula :

"Hear me now, hear my cries, spirit from the other side, cross now the great divide !"

A halo of light formed when a woman in her fifties appeared in the circle of candles. Cropped blonde hair, gray blue eyes and wearing a burgundy dress that Keira recognized very well. Seeing her granddaughter, the ghost exclaimed :

"Well, I was wondering when you would decide to speak to me."

"You're lucky you're already dead grandma, because I feel like strangling you." Keira told him.

"I know you're angry with me for hiding the truth from you." Martha blamed herself.

"Of course I am." Keira confessed.

The attention of all the witches present in the attic was now focused on the exchange between the ghost of Martha Juarez and Keira.

"I didn't want to put you in danger by telling you who you really were. That would have given Crowley all the more reason to go after you when we died." Martha explained.

"Because wanting to steal my powers isn't a good reason perhaps ?" Keira exclaimed.

"What do you want to ask me ?" asked Martha.

"Why ? I want to know why me ? What am I supposed to do with this demon, when I don't even know who I am ? I still don't know what powers I have, and I'm scared as soon as I use one." Keira said.

"It's a big responsibility, I agree, but you're not alone my dear. Your mother and I are watching over you from where we are, and you are protected as long as you remain with the Halliwells." Martha informed.

"You knew that, didn't you ? Did you know this was gonna happen and I'd end up here ? You too had premonitions, so admit it." Keira begged.

"I knew that when I died, Crowley would not hesitate to come after you. Your mother got ahead of him by giving you her power of deflection without you noticing it, and she knew she was doomed when he attacked her." Martha expounded.

"Because of her decision and yours for not telling me, Dad and Dylan got killed. How am I supposed to live with this on my conscience ? They had no power and they died because of it." Keira retorted.

"And we'll be sorry for all eternity, but you mustn't let our bad decisions get the better of you. You are not responsible for anything, Keira, and when you finally eliminate Crowley, everything will be fine." his grandmother assured her.

"I can't do it alone." Keira said.

"But you are not alone. Look around you, you are surrounded by powerful witches and a demon." Martha said.

"Hey, I'm not a demon !" Bianca protested.

"I know my dear but, it came out on its own." Martha apologized.

Bianca scowled and crossed her arms but Chris wrapped his around her and she relaxed.

"Very well grandma, thank you for your advice, we have a potion to finish." Keira said.

"Take good care of yourself my dear, and don't hesitate to call me if you need to talk." Martha offered her before dematerializing.

The luminous halo that surrounded her disappeared, and the attic became silent again.

"I felt like I was hearing Grandma talking." Chris said.

His reply had the gift of making Melinda laugh, and she extinguished the candles. Keira gasped as the pages of the Book of Shadows began to turn on their own. In her jump, she bumped into Wyatt, who put his hands on her hips.

"What is happening ?" Keira asked.

"Oh, it's Grandma having fun doing that." Wyatt replied.

The pages stopped turning and Keira saw the double page devoted to Crowley, as well as the potion which allowed him to be destroyed. Piper, Phoebe and Paige arrived in the attic. Piper saw the candles still arranged in a circle in the middle of the attic.

"Who did you summon ?" she wanted to know.

"Oh, Keira had a little chat with her grandmother. It was very interesting." confessed Melinda.

"I had things to tell and ask her. Keira said.

"And you got the answers you wanted ?" Phoebe asked.

"Partly !" Keira replied, not taking her eyes off The Book of Shadows.

Her grandmother was right, until she got rid of Crowley, she would never have a normal life. Looking up at the potions table, she saw the knife Crowley had stabbed her with a week earlier. She walked over to the table and took the knife in her hands. She was taken by a vision, and relived the murder of her family. Coming to herself, she turned to the others, who were watching her and waiting.

"What did you see ?" asked Bianca, who was next to her.

"One thing I would never have wanted to witness : the murder of my family !" Keira replied.

"You have to free yourself from this guilt." Piper advised her.

"I don't feel guilty anymore, I just want to be done with it." Keira said.

"What do you suggest ?" Chris asked.

"Let's hunt ?" Keira said smiling and tilting the knife to the right.

"He won't attack you unless he knows you're alone." Billie reminded her.

"I know, and that's why I'm going to find him, alone." Keira decided.

"Keira, it's dangerous !" Wyatt protested.

"Bianca will intervene with Melinda. I'll contact you and give Bianca the green light. Your sister will freeze Crowley and I'll take a piece of flesh from him. We will return immediately." Keira explained.

"That could work." Paige asserted.

Phoebe took the knife in her hands, and she too had a premonition, but different from Keira's.

"Phoebe ?" Piper asked.

"It will work, Crowley is not immune to our powers." Phoebe replied.

"We'll wait until it's dark." Chris said.

Wyatt slammed The Book of Shadows shut and angrily left the attic.

"I'm going to talk to him." Keira said.

She came out of the attic in turn, and caught up with Wyatt to their bedroom.

"Wyatt please don't be mad. I must do it." she told him, closing the door behind her.

"I can't let you go, I don't want to lose you." he refuted, sitting up on his bed.

"I don't want to die Wyatt, and I'll be careful. It won't be the first time I've faced him, so trust me." she begged, moving closer to him.

She sat astride him and put her mouth to his. The young witch relaxed a little, and he closed his arms around Keira. They ended the kiss, without separating.

"Will you be careful ?" Wyatt asked.

"I promise !" she replied.

He kissed her again, and that kiss was tender and full of love.

A few hours later !

Keira had changed and was now wearing jeans, a halter top under a denim jacket, and a pair of ankle boots. In the back pocket of her pants, she had put a vial containing a potion given by Piper, and placed as a weapon, she had taken Crowley's knife. It was after ten o'clock at night, and Keira was in the middle of the abandoned warehouses near the Golden Gates Bridge. She had managed to create a telepathic link with the Halliwells, who had stayed at the Manor, and who were waiting for the signal from the young girl to bring in Bianca and Melinda.

"No sign of Crowley ?" Paige asked her.

"No, but I know he's there." Keira replied.

"Be careful." Wyatt told her.

"As always." she assured him.

"It's very reckless to walk around without your bodyguards." came an icy voice.

Keira turned around, and she found herself face to face with her worst enemy.

"You never show up when I'm with them, I'll try to say you're scared." she challenged him.

"Once I have your power, I could attack them and do what no demon could do : rid our world of the Halliwells !" he boasted.

"I find you sure of yourself. Many demons tried to kill them, and it didn't work." Keira said.

"It's strange that you're not afraid of me anymore. Did you find a way to kill me ?" Crowley asked, a sadistic smile on his face.

"If I knew how to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago." she snapped.

"Come on, you have something that belongs to me, and I would like to get it back." he said.

While talking, Keira noticed that Crowley was wearing an amulet. She focused inwardly, and she was relieved to know that it was the only one.

"He has an amulet around his neck." she warned in thought.

"Find a way to take it away from him. Bianca and Melinda are on their way." Piper told him.

Keira sensed Bianca and Melinda's presence a little further away, but didn't let it show. She took out Crowley's dagger, while seizing the potion discreetly. She showed the weapon to Crowley and said :

"Are you talking about that ?"

"Give it to me !" he ordered her.

"Come and get it !" she retorted.

With his hand, Crowley materialized an athame, a double-edged dagger. He walked towards Keira, and she took the opportunity to throw the vial on the ground. The explosion blinded Crowley, who recoiled in shock, and Keira took the opportunity to snatch the amulet from him.

"You bitch !" he growled.

Keira used her combat skills, and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying to some empty crates and crashing into them.

"Now !" Keira said.

Melinda came running, and froze Crowley as he got up.

"Hurry up, it won't last long." Melinda advised him.

Keira approached the demon, and sliced a piece of flesh off the palm of his hand. He came back to him when she took the flesh in her hand.

"AAAAaaaaahhhhhhh !" he yelled.

Keira gave him another blow which knocked him down again, and joined Bianca and Melinda. She took Bianca's hand with her left hand, and Bianca dematerialized with her two sisters-in-law. Crowley got up with difficulty, furious !

""You will pay for that !" he said aloud before disappearing.

At the Manor, the girls materialized in the middle of the veranda. Keira showed them the piece of flesh she had taken from Crowley and asked her Whitelighter :

"Will that be enough ?"

Paige just smiled at her, while Billie scooped up the demon's flesh, which she put in a plastic bowl.

"I have to wash my hands !" Keira grimaced, making the whole sibling laugh.

"Billie, put the demon flesh in the fridge, we'll finish the potion tomorrow." You all really need to rest." Piper told them.

In turn, everyone took a shower, before all went to bed. Keira fell asleep easily in Wyatt's arms, thinking that soon it would all be over.
