Chapter 10

"Come on… there has to be something… AHA!" Sabrina yelled after digging through her closet for over half and hour. Danny, Sam and Tucker jerked their heads upward, finally able to start what they came to her house to do. Sabrina smiled as she withdrew a large, dusty covered book from her closet.

"A book?" Tucker asked incredulously, "We waited all this time… for a book?" The remaining three teens gave Tucker an annoyed glare before turning back to the object Sabrina retrieved.

"It's not just any book Tucker," Sabrina started, "This book can tell you everything you need to know about someone or something. It's a powerful book that apparently has been in my family for generations." She blew off the dust, making them all cough as it filled their air space.

"So… why were we looking for this book again?" Sam asked, looking at the cover of the now clean book.

"Well… since Sabrina doesn't know that much about her arch-enemy," Danny started, ignoring a cry of "Hey!" from Sabrina, "we'd thought it would be a better idea to see what her enemy is like."

"Not to mention that we need to find out how to use each other's powers," Sabrina added. Danny looked at Sabrina, confused.

"How could that even happen? I mean Clockwork said they can intertwine-" he said, but Sabrina cut him off.

"He was hinting it. I mean, remember when we were talking to him, and we felt each other's power?" Sabrina asked. Danny nodded. "I've been thinking about that, and came to a conclusion that maybe we can use each other's powers."

Danny raised an eyebrow. "So… you're saying that I could use that flaming leaves thing you did the other day?"

Sabrina nodded. "If my theory is correct, then we should be able to use all of our powers… both yours and mine. But it's going to take a bit of training… I mean, it's not like you just could master that wail thing over night, right?"

"That's true… but let's see what we can find about Taika," Danny suggested, as they all turned back to the book.

"So… how does it work?" Sam asked Sabrina. She was about to respond, when Tucker opened his mouth.

"No offence Sabrina, but I think it would be more accurate if we searched the Internet, because books are so old and technology is so advanced," he said, hugging his PDA.

Looking at him oddly, Sabrina asked, "Does he do that often?" Sam and Danny nodded. Sighing, Sabrina placed her hand on the book and closed her eyes. Her hand glowed blue for a moment, before lighting back down. She opened the book to find… blank pages.

"Huh?" Sabrina wondered outloud, trying to see why no information appeared. Then she smacked her head. "Of course!" she exclaimed, before taking off her pendant. Bringing the pendant to her hand, Sabrina let her hand glow once more, focusing all her thoughts to get the book to work. The entire book lit up this time, before dying back down.

"Are you sure this book works? Tucker asked. Sabrina opened the book and smiled devilishly.

"Well, if it didn't, would I know that you have a phobia of snakes and hospitals, and that your greatest fear is-" Sabrina started to say before Tucker yelled at her to stop.

"Ok, I get it, can we please look up some stuff on Taika?" Tucker announced in a huff.

Sabrina turned a couple of pages and released a cry of triumph. "Here we go," Sabrina told them, "Taika Cromwell. Said to be one of the most famous witches of her time, with her family's black magic they created a new form of spell binding. Also created a way to drain a creature's power and add it to her own, and she led a riot to instigate mortal burning."

"Well, there's something you don't here about everyday," Sam said, listening to the story with anticipation. "Although, I don't think knowing that she wants to burn mortals and created new spell bindings with black magic will help us much."

Sabrina looked up from the book. "That's all it says. I bet Taika put enchantments on sources outside the Witches Realm to not reveal too much about her." She closed the book angrily. "We need to know what she's up to, what's she's going to do next. I've been caught off guard from her a couple of times before, and they're never pretty."

"When do anything villains do every pretty?" Danny asked sarcastically. Sabrina looked at him oddly and then started to pace.

"What we need is someone who can tell us anything we need to know, who doesn't mind if we ask questions or for help, that will give the answers we need," Sabrina listed, walking back and forth.

"Like a teacher?" Danny asked. Sabrina stopped in her tracks.

"Not exactly a teacher… but she does… but would she help me… but she did say…" Sabrina mumbled to herself.

"When you want to make sense, tell us," Sam told her. Sabrina looked up again.

"I think I know who could help us… but it's pretty risky, and I would have to go alone," Sabrina told them. "There's a person in the Witches Realm that has all the information we need, and probably more too. Besides, I do need to get some more potion supplies."

Danny stood up as well. "Well, when do we go?" he asked.

"We aren't going anywhere, I am," Sabrina answered. "It's nothing personal Danny… well it kinda is. Witches aren't exactly fond of me, and it would be worse if they find me with a ghost."

"Hey, we went into the ghost zone, why not the witches realm," Danny countered. "Besides, we both need to hear this information if we're working together."

Sabrina bit her lip hesitantly. After a few moments pause, she sighed. "Fine," she agreed. "But we're doing it my way." The now familiar five point star appeared at her feet and engulfed her, leaving her in her robes, black and white hair and green eyes. She then turned back to Danny, Sam and Tucker. "Danny, you mind transforming into your ghost form?" she asked him. Startled but eager to go into the witches realm, Danny quickly did what he was told. "Ok, this won't hurt a bit," Sabrina said lighting up her hand with blue mist. The mist surrounded Danny and engulfed in light. When the light disappeared, Danny was left standing in black robes, with his emblem still on his chest. His aura had also disappeared.

"Cool!" Danny exclaimed looking down at himself.

"There, you'll fit in there perfectly. This way know one will figure out you're a ghost, unless they ask you to do magic," Sabrina told him.

"Uh, hello," Sam said, getting Sabrina's attention. "I hope you don't plan on leaving us behind, we want to go too." Sabrina sighed; they were already risking it as it is. She lifted her hands in the air again and waved them in front of Sam and Tucker. Instantly, their clothes were replaced with robes; Sam's a dark purple and Tucker's green.

"Sweet, I must look even better," Tucker admiring himself. Sam sighed.

"Do you have a spell to shut him up?" she asked Sabrina.

"Tucker, if you don't want me to give a certain picture to the school paper, I'd keep quiet," Sabrina told him. Tucker gave Sabrina a perplexed look before she showed him a photo. Tucker visibly paled and nodded. Sam and Danny looked at the interaction and Sabrina chuckled. "Ah, the magic of blackmail." She turned away from the three, and let her hands glow again. She waved it as she said Portus.

Suddenly, a bright glow in front of her, glowing brighter and brighter until a large portal appeared. Through the portal, there was a town that looked like it was from the 1800's, with different types of buildings. Sabrina turned back to her friends. "Shall we?" she asked, and the four of them entered the Witches realm together.
---

"This. Is. So. Cool," Tucker said in awe as they walked past a giant mansion. They had been walking for about fifteen minutes, not really going anywhere.

"Tucker, I know you think this is cool, but please look like you've been here before," Sabrina told him. "If someone sees you looking like that, it'll attract-"

"Well, well, well," a voice sneered from behind the teens.

Sabrina sighed. "Unwanted attention." They whirled around to see a teenage boy, with sleek blond hair gleaming off the sun. He wore an orangey-red robe and a sun pendant around his necklace. His piercing yellow eyes danced as a smirk addressed his tanned face.

"Isn't little miss goody two shoes, with her 'oh, I don't want to hurt mortals, I was one once' attitude," the boy jeered. " What are you doing here anyway Sabrina?"

Sabrina's eyes narrowed. "Buzz off Solan," she said angrily.

"No, I asked a question and you should answer," he said to her. He then looked over Sam, Tucker, and Danny as if he had just seen them. "Who are the losers? Don't you know you should stay away from half-witches?"

Sabrina's eyes narrowed and opened her mouth to say something, but Sam beat her to it.

"Better a half-witch than a jerk," she said angrily.

Solan smiled. "Feisty one, aren't you," he said to her. "I like feisty." Sam and Sabrina grimaced. Sabrina narrowed her eyes further, creating a gust of wind pushing Solan away from them.

"A word of advice Solan, if you want to hit on girls either get better pick up lines, or find someone that actually likes you," Sabrina said coolly. "Shouldn't you be doing something useful with your time anyway, like ducking your head in a bucket full of water?"

Solan paled slightly, before regaining himself and walking closer to Sabrina, his hands lighting with an orange mist ready to attack. Sabrina's hand lit with blue mist, and Danny's hands lit aglow with green ecto-energy. Solan stopped in his tracks, eyes widening. Sabrina turned and looked at Danny.

"You had to do that, didn't you?" she asked him. Danny looked annoyed.

"What, I'm not going to stand around and let this jerk attack you," he retorted.

"That's nice and all Danny, but remember where you are, and what could happen," she reminded him in a whisper. Danny paled and nodded, his energy going out in an instant.

"You're a ghost," Solan said quietly. He smiled evilly. "I'll get you this time Salem, you brought a ghost into the witches realm, you're done for, your powers will be up for grabs and-"

"SOLAN! Do you have any idea what time it is? It's almost sunset! Unless you want to be left out here powerless, I think you should get out of here before I make you!" a girl cut in. She came running in black robes, her pale face angered as her blue eyes danced furiously. A crescent moon pendant hung from her neck. She ran towards the group and spotted Sabrina. "Hi Sabrina, long time no see huh? Who are your friends?" she asked Sabrina.

"Hi Luna," Sabrina said pleasantly. Solan scowled at the girl's sudden arrival. Luna turned back to the boy.

"I meant what I said Solan, unless you want mom to get into this," she said threateningly. Solan, sinking his shoulders in defeat, walked off scowling. Luna turned back to Sabrina. "My brother giving you a hard time again?"

"When doesn't he?" Sabrina asked sarcastically.

"Brother?" Sam, Danny and Tucker asked at the same time. Luna sighed.

"Yeah, the idiot was my brother, we're twins," Luna answered glumly.

"But… you look nothing alike!" Tucker exclaimed.

Luna chuckled. "Thanks, we're fraternal twins." She then turned back towards Sabrina. "So, what's bring you into the Witches Realm, especially since it's almost sunset and the last time I saw you, you said you'd never come back to this place ever again?"

"Well, I need answers," Sabrina said sullenly. "And since Taika decided to cast a spell on everything regarding her in the real world, I decided to come to Andorra for help."

"I see," Luna said. She then turned her attention to the trio. "Who are they?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, that's Danny, Sam and Tucker," Sabrina answered quickly. "I met them outside the gate, we're all going to Andorra together."

Luna nodded and looked up at the sun; it was almost close to the horizon. "I'd suggest you hurry up, since the sun's almost done and you don't want to be caught here at night again do you?" Sabrina shook her head quickly. Luna smiled and pointed to an alley close by. "Take that alley, turn west and you'll see Andorra's castle, it's much faster."

"Thanks," Sabrina, Danny, Sam and Tucker answered. They all started to run towards the alley, before Luna stopped Sabrina.

"Sabrina, I'd suggest next time when you bring ghosts into the witches realm, make sure he remembers to hold his tongue, because the elders aren't to keen to have ghosts here, no matter how cute they are," she told him.

"Thanks," Sabrina said again, running off. Let's just hope there is a next time she thought.
----

"Whoa," Danny said, as they reached the gigantic castle. It was defiantly from the 14th century, with the stone carvings and gothic appearance.

"If it wasn't that I'm a Goth and don't express happy emotions, I'd be totally excited right now," Sam said, a hint of amazement in her voice.

Sabrina smiled. "Come on, we have to find Andorra," she said, running to the door. Grabbing the huge doorknocker, Sabrina created 3 huge booming knocks. The door opened with a large groan and a witch with purple and gold robes emerged. Her hair was black and wavy and her lilac eyes surveyed them closely. There were a few moments of silence before she spoke. "Well, if you want your answers, I suppose you would have to come inside."

Inside was way better than outside. The circular lobby was decorated in black, purple and gold. Medieval torture devices hung in cases labelled antique and huge doors were placed in all directions.

"It's a Goth's dream come true!" Sam whispered in awe.

Andorra chuckled. "I always loved the medieval times. The poor souls didn't know a witch unless one hit them in the face. Although, as time went on, they got smarter, I'll admit." They walked through one of the doors that led into a large library. Similar to the library of destiny, the books flew too different shelves and different quills wrote on pieces of parchment.

"Welcome children, to the Library of Knowledge," Andorra said smiling. "Now, I expect you want to know a bit more about Taika Cromwell, am I correct?" she asked.

"How did you know?" Sabrina asked.

"My dear, ever since I met you, you've always wanted to defeat that witch, it's about time you want to know more about her," Andorra said, flying up and fingering spines of books. "Aha, Taika Cromwell." She handed the book to Sabrina.
"Thanks," Sabrina said, bowing slightly in respect.

Andorra chuckled again. "No need my dear. It is a pleasure to help a Salem to bring peace to our worlds." She turned to Danny, who was looking at her nervously. "It is also a pleasure to meet the legendary Danny Phantom." The teens gaped at her in shock. Andorra smiled a sneaky smile and said, "What, if I know every person in the world, why shouldn't I know the ghost boy who defeated Pariah Dark almost single-handedly and protects his town from spooky menaces. Now," Andorra opened the book, "What do you want to know." She waved her hands at the first page and watched the teens look in fascination.

"Taika Cromwell is the direct descendant of Serenity, who created a way for us to be "superior" to ghosts. Unlike the stories in most books, Serenity was not kind in any way. Serenity Cromwell had every intention of creating the war, to drain powers of others. Unknown to the witches and ghosts of her day, Serenity started to drain more and more power, causing each side it was the opponent's fault. It was then that Clockwork came into this. He announced the prophecy, and urged us all to stop the fighting, but most witches believed that he was lying. It took much convincing from him that we all had a common enemy."

"After that happened, Serenity used her own reputation to convince Witches and Witchums that ghosts were jealous creatures, and were unfit to have there own world."

"As time moved forwards, the Cromwell line has educated their young to be the same way Serenity was, evil but charming, able to convince others of whatever they want. They also hid a dark secret, a secret that would spell disaster in every world. The Lunar eclipse is where they are most powerful. They are able to drain power from any magical or paranormal creature from a 10 feet span, and unleash it within seconds."

"So… Taika is waiting for a Lunar Eclipse?" Sabrina asked Andorra.

"I am not sure, you two are of course in the prophecy, why don't you tell me," Andorra said, one eyebrow raised.

"Trouble is, we don't know the whole prophecy," Danny said.

Andorra looked at him oddly. "Well, we can't have that know, can we?" She jumped into the air and grabbed a very dusty book from one of the top shelves. She then gave it to Sabrina. "Here you go. You may use the knowledge in this library to figure out some things, but I think it would be best if you figure it out yourselves," she told them, turning to leave.

"Thanks," the foursome cried again.

"You're welcome children, but I advise you to hurry," Andorra added as she left the room.

Sabrina opened the book, and started to read. "At the light of a full red moon, three enemies shall jeopardize three worlds doom, betraying their kind they think not twice, but believe it is there birth right. Nothing done can stop these foes, save for pure-hearted souls; a witch and a ghost. Destruction and defeat will be swift for those who seek the darkness, if these two saviours learn to join their inner strength." She looked up at Danny. "What do you think this means? I mean most of it we already figured out on our own, but what's with the 'full red moon' and 'fight as one' thing, it's like we're in a T.V. show or something."

Danny brought his hand to his chin, and then his eyes lit up in some thought. "I have a hunch, but we're going to need some star charts of our immediate galaxy and a calendar," he said in an intellectual tone. Sam, Sabrina and Tucker nodded and ran to different parts of the library, looking for star charts, while Danny flew to the top of one of the shelves to get an ancient telescope. Looking at it admiringly, Danny set it up by the window and looked through it, trying to find the moon. After looking for a few minutes Danny sighed and looked at the dials. "Sabrina," he called out, "which way does the moon rise in the Witches realm?"

"Uh…" came Sabrina's answer. "I believe it's southeast, I'm not completely sure." Setting the telescope in the direction Sabrina gave, Danny looked for the moon in the sky, but only saw the setting sun.

"Eureka!" Tucker's let out a cry of triumph from a corner of the room. "I found something." Footsteps came from all over the library, stopping at a table close by to Danny. Tucker spread the blue charts across the table and Danny looked at each of them carefully.

"Um… not to interrupt or anything, but what is your hunch?" Sabrina asked, looking at the star charts curiously.

"If I'm right, the day we're looking for is the day Taika and Vlad are waiting for," he said, tracing a pattern closely with his index finger. He marked it a place and looked closely at the position. He then looked up again. "Anyone know when the last lunar eclipse was?" he asked.

"Uh…"

Danny sighed. "Ok, who has the calendar?" he asked. Sam gave him the calendar and he quickly flipped back through the months. He then ran back to the telescope to try and find the moon again.

"Is he always like this?" Sabrina asked Sam as she watched Danny run back to the table.

"Only when it has to do with space," she answered, watching Danny trace another pattern.

Danny sighed again. "Ok, I think I have the red full moon aspect figured out. Due to the fact that the last Lunar eclipse was in May… and judging that the moon is nearing it's first quarter, I would guess that the next Lunar eclipse would be on Halloween night, where it would reach it's full potential and become a total Lunar Eclipse," he said, finishing his mini rant.

Sabrina's eyes widened. "You sure?" she asked. Danny looked at the charts and nodded.

"I'm positive." He replied.

Sabrina groaned. "This isn't good, this really isn't good," she kept repeating as she started to pace. Looking up at her quizzical companions she sighed. "Ok, we just learned that the Lunar Eclipse is Taika's most powerful point for her powers. But on Halloween, a witches or witchum's power increases 5 fold, especially if there's a full moon. And knowing this now, this only gives us about a week and a half to train," she said, resuming her pacing.

Danny, Sam and Tucker looked at her wide eyed, and then looked at each other.

"Well… I think we better get started," Danny said determinedly. Sabrina looked up at him seriously, and nodded.
