Chapter 5 Family Trouble.
Just twenty minutes away from the Sommers Bar and Grill. Over at a small cafe, we have Wyatt, Chris and Henry Jr. The three are sat at a small table. Wyatt and Chris have a cup of coffee each. While Henry Jr has a glass of flavoured water. The three have already had some food.
"So, how have you been here for the past week?" Wyatt asked. Wyatt knows that being moved to a different country by yourself would be a massive adjustment. Even though he isn't going through it again.
"Okay, I guess still settling it was a bit overwhelming at first being in a different country." Henry Jr replied. Henry Jr wanted to snap at them saying you would know since spy on me with magic.
"You settle down in no time. Things just take time." Chris said.
"You're right maybe in a couple of days." Henry Jr says.
"Have you only made friends with Nate?" Chris asks Henry Jr.
"No, I have another friend, Rose. Most of the people in my class are more irritating than an STD." Henry Jr responds.
"Whoa, that's kind of mean Jr. You can't compare people in your class to an STD because they annoy you." Chris scolded.
"Sorry." Henry Jr spoke. The three then finish their drinks before leaving. Wyatt left a small tip for the waitress.
Now, out of the cafe, the three are walking slowly back to Merriwick house. Henry Jr still has mixed feelings about his cousins are here. A part of him wants them to just orb away and go back to San Fransico. So his secret is less likely to be exposed. But at the same time is glad to see them again since he's been gone the last few weeks he was in San Fransico before being sent to boarding. In his last few weeks at San Fransico, Henry Jr tried to avoid most of his family since he mostly got into arguments with them.
"Jr, we need to tell you something. Something really important. But there no need to worry we just thought you needed to know." Chris says.
"Wait, what's wrong is my Dad or the twins hurt?" Henry Jr asks concerned.
"No, it involves the twins a bit its all of us," Wyatt answered trying to settle Henry Jr nerves.
"So, what's wrong?" Henry Jr questions. Wyatt sighs before speaking.
"Our magic is fading," Wyatt tells Henry Jr. Henry Jr stares in shock for a minute.
"Your magic is fading how is it possible you're Halliwell witches." Henry Jr said.
"Some kind of curse. We're still trying to figure out what exactly has happened all we know is that the curse is working its way from the youngest of our line to the oldest.
"So, Peyton, my sisters and Melinda are losing powers." Henry Jr replies.
"Yes, their magic is practically gone they can barely cast spells," Chris answered.
"Wait, when you said you caught a plane here. You did orb didn't you but just lied in front of Nate," Henry Jr spoke.
"No, Jr it's getting harder for us. We barely orb only short distances. We've lost our active powers only my Mom and Aunt Phoebe have their full powers. But theirs are going to fade soon." Wyatt told Henry Jr. Henry Jr finds himself panicking the Halliwell line of witches is the most powerful line of witches for centuries!
"You are going to be able to fix this aren't you?" Henry Jr asks.
"Yes, we just need time. Uncle Henry sent us to tell you and see how well are cloaking spell is holding up with our magic fading," Chris responds.
"Cloaking spell?" Henry Jr commented confused.
"I knew it Wy, I knew uncle Henry wouldn't tell you Jr. Before Uncle Henry sent you away. He made my Mom and Aunt Phoebe to cast a cloaking spell to keep the school and you cloaked from demons, warlocks etc." Chris explains.
"And he didn't tell me," Henry Jr replied annoyed.
"He did it to protect you. You're mortal. You have no magic to protect yourself." Wyatt defends his uncle Henry.
"Let's just talk about something different like how long are staying." Henry Jr spoke.
"A couple of days Jr. Let's get you back to the Merriwick house." Chris says.
