Chapter Six:
To Chris' surprise Leo did in fact respond to his call as he orbed in with two other witches that he must have tracked. "What happened?" Leo asked his son after seeing his niece on the ground, breathing uncontrollably. "She had a premonition and then collapsed. Heal Her!" Leo knelt down beside Prue, put his hands over his niece and the all familiar glow emitted from his palms, nothing happened however, the girl remained unconscious. "Why isn't it working?" Chris demanded, "I don't know, her state must not be physical, but emotional. Whatever she saw must have been too much for her to handle." The elder stammered.
Chris simply shook his head and then knelt back down beside his cousin. "I am here Prudence. It's Chris, your safe. Please wake up." nothing happened. Coming up with an idea as to what could help his cousin, Chris sprang to his feet and ran out of the office. He desperately scanned the crowd to find Sean. He could be the only one who could snap Prue out of her shocked state. After looking through the crowd for awhile he noticed Sean sitting at the bottom of the stairs clear across the room with his brothers DJ and Michael.
"What's going on?" DJ asked of Chris knowing something was wrong by the look on his friends face. "It's Prue. She fainted and is having some kind of episode or something." Chris related. "She needs you" he said referring to Sean. Before Chris even finished his sentence Sean was rushing over to the back room. He needed to make sure that the girl he loved would be okay.
Sean thrust open the door to the office and was very disturbed by Prue's state. He sat down beside her and took the girl in his arms. "Baby it's me Sean I am here and I love you. You have to be all right." He begged stroking her hair. By that time Chris and the other two Morris boys were also in the back room hoping that Sean would be able to get through to her. "Listen to my voice." Sean continued "you are safe, wake up, everything will be okay." With that Prue's breathing started to slow and her eyes fluttered open, to everyone's relief. "Sean" she called out quietly, "what happened." "Oh thank God you are all right" he exclaimed, holding her close. He then helped her to her feet.
"You had a vision and then collapsed." Chris informed her. That's when it came back to her. She had to sit down, what she saw had just been so horrible. "it was just terrible." she stated. "First I uh saw all these innocents being murdered by some of Wyatt's minions. But they were using mostly witchly powers," she explained. "He wants mortals to think that all witches are murders" Leo said stating the obvious. "Regardless we can't let all of these innocents lose their lives." Chris broke in. "Do you know where some of these incidents happened?" He asked his cousin.
"Well I saw an attack take place at our old elementary school, many children were killed. And then I saw an attack at the flea market, and one at the airport." "He is picking very public places" Chris commented. "We have to stop it, we'll save lives and show people that magic can be good." Leo agreed with his son. Sean however, knew there was something else. Sure seeing brutal murders was hard, but he knew Prue was a strong girl and she had seen so many demon attacks in her visions. The idea of losing innocents, was not what had traumatized her so much that she collapsed and had a panic attack.
"What else did you see?" he asked her, knowing there had to be more. She hesitated. She looked at Sean and then to Chris, and could tell they were both worried and knew she was holding something back." "I saw myself" she started. "I was back at the apartment and Wyatt orbed in. He attacked. I saw an energy ball coming at me when…" looking to Sean, "you jumped in front of it." She started to break down. "I can't lose you Sean, not like I have lost almost everyone else in my life." Sean did not know what to say.
"We won't let it happen." Chris chimed in. "We will stop everything you saw in that vision." "Leo, you and a group of witches will wait at the airport for the attack there. I will bring my own group of witches with me to the school in anticipation of that attack, as for the flea market Brian can go with others there. We will need to find a witch with some type of transportation power though as we will all have to get in and out quickly after taking care of the Demons." Leo was truly proud of the way his son was taking charge. "Right well lets tell the others." the elder responded.
Before going outside to let everyone know what was going on he turned to Prue, who still looked quite shaken. "You stay here, Wyatt won't be able to sense you here. Sean, DJ and Mike will stay too, along with some of the younger witches who should not have to deal with the impending demon attacks." She was reluctant at first, "I can help" she insisted trying to hide the fact that she was terrified her vision would come to pass. "No, I will not risk Wyatt coming after you." Seeing her cousin was adamant she decided not to argue. "Fine" she moped.
"All right then" Chris said. "All we need to do is find a witch who can teleport and then assign witches to mine, Leo's and Brian's groups." --and then after we save the innocents I am going after Wyatt, he thought to himself. He would not let his brother come after Prue, he couldn't. He simply would not allow Wyatt to take anyone else he cared about.
It did not take to long for Chris to go out and inform the other witches about the impending attack, and his plan to save the innocents. "We know that Wyatt is sending demons to attack at least three places; East Side Elementary School, the flea market downtown and the airport," Chris declared before continuing. "Leo, Brian and I will lead three different groups to each of the locations in order to thwart the attacks. Leo and I can orb, so we will be able to get in and out quickly, but we need a volunteer that can teleport, in order to transport the third group." A young women, probably about 18 spoke up. "I can teleport, I have been able transport up to six people at once before." "That will do fine then. You will be in Brian's group who will be heading to the flea market. Now we need to divide into groups as quickly as possible. For now we will simply take those witches with active powers, as we do not have much time to stock up on potions and spells. I will however go back to my apartment and retrieve what potions we have stocked up. Most of the demons involved in the attack however are lower level demons so we should be able to vanquish them with our powers. I say we should work in groups of five, so we won't get all scattered and we will be able to get out quickly. Like I said they will be lower level demons, so our small groups should be able to handle it."
Once Chris finished talking the witches with the most formidable powers were assigned to each of the three groups, and Chris quickly orbed back to the apartment to retrieve the potions. Victor had been there when he orbed in so Chris gave him a quick update as to what was going on before orbing back to the club. When he got back everyone was ready for the mission. Not wasting anytime the three groups transported themselves out and the club, to their three assigned destinations. They were as prepared as they could hope, and now all they could do was just brace themselves for whatever was about to happen.
