Sorry guys *dodges pitchforks and telekinetic objects*. I really am. BUT there are only two more chapters, so are you looking foward to it? Tell me.
Jenna opened her eyes and blinked as she was enveloped with a sweet floral smell. She sat straight up and found the room surrounded by red roses, lilies and poppies. She looked on the bedside table and picked up the expensive looking envelope. She turned it over and pulled out the note which in Chris' messy handwriting had 'I told you I would fight'. She cast her gaze across the valley of beautiful flowers and giggled despite herself. This had to be a pacifist's way of fighting, she thought as she shook her head and decided how she could get across the flowers without using magic.
She frowned and shrugged, she raised her hands together then slowly pushed them apart and the bouquets gently parted to form a path. She smiled as she hopped off the bed, stretching to reach for her dressing gown and pulling it on as she headed towards the kitchen.
"Like the flowers?" She jumped, dropping the coffee cup which was now suspended in mid air. She turned. Mel was sitting down, eating toast eyes glued to a magazine, a hand carelessly thrown out in a manner Jenna had watched on TV for years. She picked the cup from air and the hand went down.
She frowned and went over to the already made coffee wondering how in hell she had missed her sitting there.
"What are you doing here?"
Mel looked up. "This is my house. Well, apartment."
"You're not meant to be back for another week."
"Got an early flight." They paused, staring at each other then grinned and walked around the kitchen island and hugged each other.
"God it was so weird living on my own in New York."
"Hey, Mel where are my clothes?" Jenna's eyes widened as Ryan came in, in all his bare chested glory, towel around his waist.
"Down girl, you like my brother not my boyfriend." Mel whispered then let go of her grinning and turned to her boyfriend. "In the two bottom draws."
"Thanks, Mel." He leant across the island and kissed her before retreating into the bedroom. "Hey Jen."
"Hey Ryan." She called. Jenna turned to Mel and wiggled and eyebrow suggestively. "What did you two get up to?"
She shoved her. "Nothing more than usual."
Jenna made a fake choking sound. "Too much information."
"And yet you knew exactly what I was talking about."
Jenna stuck her tongue out in response and began giggling.
She walked into her room, shrugging off the dressing gown.
Jenna rolled her eyes as yet another rose had appeared in her hands. Seriously, after the fifteenth rose appears in your hands you get very bored. A lily appeared next to the rose. She shrugged, at least a change. A whole bouquet of lilies appeared, seemingly falling from the air into her arms, making her knees buckle slightly.
"Chris!" She yelled.
Orbs came immediately and he bit his lip to stop the laughter after seeing Jenna surrounded by the roses.
She put her hands on her hips wagging a finger at him. "Glad you think it's so frickin' funny, I don't!"
Chris rubbed his neck. "Too much?"
Jenna tripped and fell over a vase, landing face first in a rose bouquet. She glared up at Chris, her pale face contrasting with the startling red, as she spoke, "ya think?"
He grinned innocently. "So what about the personal gain?"
He faltered, and began rubbing his neck again, a habit this Chris seemed to have when nervous. "I didn't think about it."
She pushed herself up. "Okay that is it!
Gifts given to me,
Now returned, so let it be."
She sighed in relief as her knees became visible as the flowers dissolved away leaving only a trace of the floral scent as a clue that there was something there.
She looked up at him, flicking her fringe out of her eyes, frowning as she realised he was looking at her body. She had the beginnings of a blush as she only had a camisole and a small pair of shorts. She raised her hand.
"Okay, you, outta here." She pushed him out of the door, ignoring protests, shutting it. She turned leaning against it, smiling.
Jenna walked into the Manor, not even bothering to knock, and threw her jacket onto the armchair.
"Hello?" She called, walking aimlessly in the hallway, admiring the forever familiar staircase and surroundings, noticing her face framed next to the Charmed Ones in a few.
"In here!" Jenna followed the voice of Phoebe into the kitchen.
She immediately was welcomed by an explosion of smoke. She coughed, waving a hand in front of her face.
"I know you can't cook Pheebs but this is extreme." She was rewarded by a glare as she sat on the table crossed legged. "Anyway, why aren't you at your loft?"
"Well, I there was a demon I wanted to vanquish, he was proving trouble for Coop, seems to be targeting his matches." Phoebe's frown showed the love for her husband as she poured a disgusting yellow liquid into the vial. "Wanna join me?"
"Yeah!" Jenna grinned. "Been ages since I've had a demon hunt."
"Let's get going." Phoebe grinned, walking around the island, leaving all the ingredients out.
"And the mess?" Jenna raised her eyebrows.
"I'll blame Chris." Phoebe muttered causing Jenna to grin.
Chris orbed into the kitchen, wiping a smudge off of his shirt, having defended a charge from a demon. Surely his dad didn't have to do this with the Charmed Ones? God he saved his charges almost daily and he only had 3! He rolled his eyes before landing on an open page of the Book. He watched as a message appeared, the ink flowing magically to reveal 'Chris, help them.'
Chris froze and instantly closed his eyes. His mother was at work, Paige with Henry and he orbed straight away at the situation of Jenna and Phoebe.
"Are you sure these are low level demons?" Jenna asked as they walked through another tunnel with the same markings.
"The Book said so."
"Well the Book can be wrong." Jenna muttered. A fireball was suddenly hurled their way. "Told you so!"
Jenna threw her hand out and the incoming flame flew back to it's owner emitting screams as more and more demons shimmered in.
They fought, punches, kicks, potions, powers flying everywhere before Jenna dived behind a large rock. She flung her arm out as the fireball flew to the penultimate demon. The flames of the vanquish lit the room, as she sought out Phoebe. Her demon flung her to the floor, her head hitting the rock of the cave sending her unconscious.
Jenna closed her eyes as she astral projected. She tackled the demon, punching him with a boost of telekinesis.
Chris orbed in and turned to Jenna.
"Jen thank God!" Her unmoving body caused him to look at the scene. He took in Phoebe's unconscious state before laying eyes on Jenna. He pulled his hand into a fist causing the demon to choke. He watched in slow motion as the demon conjured an athame, and with his last living action, plunge it into Jenna who was straddling him. Her eyes widened and a choke to fall effortlessly as she slumped, disappearing in a red glow.
He caught Jenna as she rematerliased, slumping into his arms, lowering her to the ground.
"Chris!" She clutched his arm as she faded…
What do you think is going to happen in the last two chapters?
