Chapter Three

"Thanks" Patrice sat up and looked at Kyle, who just healed her. "What?" she asked as she saw his intrigued look.

"So you wanne tell me, who you are" He asked

"What the Elders didn't tell you yet? She said with a teasing voice, trying to figure out first what he knew before telling him anything.

"That's the point, they don't know" He paused a moment "You sure not new at this stuff, you know to much"

"Like what?"

"Demos, Whitelighters, Elders, do I need to continue?"

"No" Patrice sat down and looked at the mess, this was going to take forever to clean up.

Kyle looked up "I got pages" Patrice nodded "Go, you wouldn't let the elders waiting" Kyle orbed away. Once again Patrice looked at the mess, she sure didn't miss this, she had to think of a way to clean this up quick in an hour the first visitors for her birthday party would arrive.

As she started to clean up the mess, she though of something. 'The vanishing spell, how did it go again'

Let the object of objection

Become like a dream

As I call the scene

Become unseen.

The broken stable, mirror, the fallen plants and all the other mess, where put at there original place, al whole again.

'good, its cleaner than it was before' A smile appeared on her face, maybe this could work.

It was getting crowdie in Patrice's apartment as more guests arrived.

"Happy birthday kiddo, hope you like it" Patrice smiled at James as he handed her a present. James had been a good friend for quite some time, he had helped her to get into collage and find a place to live when she ran away. "Thanks, J" She said and walked to the table to putt it by the other presents.

The door bell rang again and Patrice wondered who else would come. "Kyle?" She said surprised as she opened the door.

"Did you made that vanquishing potion yet?" Patrice looked at him wondering if he was joking.

"No" She said as she realised that he wasn't.

"What if he comes back?"

"Oh, he better not" she said, Kyle looked passed her "What's going on in there"

"Birthday party… mine, you better go I'm not really in mood for this right now"

"You don't care he is out there, killing people, witches like yourself"

"Look Kyle I never wanted to be a witch, I didn't bound my powers for nothing okay"

"You can't deny who you are…"

"Patrice, you okay?" Patrice turned around "Mike, hi, yeah"

"Chef is about to bring in the cake" Patrice nodded "I'll be right there"

"Just go" She said at Kyle ready to close the door. "What is a demon attacks during your little party"

Patrice looked at him "I'll deal with it then" she closed the door.

Patrice woke up with a slight headache 'Ouch, had one to many' She rolled out of bed and made her way to the shower, after she had a long shower and got dressed she walk to the living room to start the cleanup of the mess the party left here.

"You know, that demon killed three more witches last night" Patrice jumped and turned around seeing Kyle standing there. "You want me to have a heart attack?" she asked annoyed.

Kyle sighed "I know how you are"

"Congratulation" she said as she started to pick up glasses from the tables to bring then into the kitchens.

"When you unbound your powers, you became not only visible to the elders, but also to demons. It's only a matter of time before the demons come after you"

"Geez thanks Kyle, just what I wanne hear"

"Why are you so resistant? You got Charmed powers, you are a powerful witch, you can defeat this demon if you wanted to"

"No I can't, I not nearly as powerful as everybody seems to think I am" she almost yelled.

Kyle was quiet, he didn't mean to get her all upset "I wasn't powerful enough to keep my best friend from being killed"

"I'm sorry" Kyle said. Patrice took a deep breath "Yeah, so am I"
