Kids' First Demon

"Aunt Piper, Table is set." Pearl informed Piper and all the elder family members, after arranging the dining table with Pheona and Pandora. Prue and Pristine entered with extra dishes.

Boys and Pauline had come downstairs too, Chris still had grumpy face. Prue smirked at him and he gave a threatening look in return.

"Come one take your places." Leo ordered the kids. Everyone sat in order.

"So what's the big secret dad?" Prue asked curiously.

She was merely the one voice of every kid in the room who were dying to know that what is going on.

Phoebe started first, "Well for starters, we, I mean whole Halliwell family is going to a new home, a mansion to be precise. We all will be living under a single roof."

"What? I mean, wow. Yay!" Henry said back with consecutive reaction. Their parents smiled. Every child was excited by the fact that they were going to live in a single home, together.

"...and the reason for that is..." Piper explained about the visions that Pauline saw and about the prophecy that the angel of destiny told.

Chris felt a little uneasy. He was afraid for Piper. He never knew why but whenever there was a threat to her, he always had the terrible feeling to lose her. His face got sad. Piper was near enough to notice that. She combed his hairs with affection and quietly uttered, it's alright and everything would be fine. Don't worry.'

"So you guys are saying that because we were given a new bond as the power of ten, we are acquiring new powers?" Wyatt said confusingly.

"Probably yes, you see you were born with powers but you were separated. After you were given the bond, new powers manifested as a sudden crossing of threshold. Normally those powers would have shown themselves after you have gained experience." Leo informed.

"So that's why Prue blew the Imps with Aero kinesis!" Pristine said bluntly, missing the 'don't say it' sign that Prue was waving at her. Afterward she realised what she had said. Pristine was as terrible secret keeper as her mother was 18 years back.

"You blew what?" Piper roared at Prudence. Phoebe snared at her older daughters. Paige had similar expression for Twins.

Samuel had sensed their exciting confrontation earlier and had told his brothers, but was waiting for the right moment to tell their parents, so he continued, "Apparently they were 'harvesting' the mandrake near the grove which has largest swarm of Imps. They showed some pretty cool powers back there."

The girls looked at him with loathe and anger.

Prudence explained about the little skirmish they had with Imps while collecting mandrake. She also explained how she manifested Aero kinesis, how Imps around Pearl were paralyzed and fell around Pristine.

"You girls are so grounded." Their mothers announced in unison. Chris felt amusing that the 'obedient kids' cover was blown from the face of girls.

Henry, being the only human there was clueless on how to react. He however tried to be normal since his children weren't normal.

Coop then lightened the mood by saying, "Forget about the incident, let's focus on what powers they've acquired." Pristine looked at her father with admiration. Coop had always tended to protect their daughters from wrath of Phoebe.

"What powers uncle Coop? I think I and Phoena have not acquired new powers." Pandora said bitterly after the revelations.

"I don't think you need any kind of more freaky power to blow things." Phoena joked, but at that moment it was bad. Pandora pointed at her with anger. Suddenly flames erupted from her fingers. Phoena thought, water and splash! She had generated water from her palm and she soaked Pandora from head to toe. It was hilarious.

"Well there you got your new powers!" Henry chuckled at his daughters.

After the dinner they continued discussing.

"So Wyatt here got Energy waves, Chris got some kind of shield which extends his telekinetic ability and absorbs power, Sam showed heightened level of sensing and..." Leo was interrupted by Paige.

Paige said, "...Prudence got aero kinesis, Pearl's empathy can do some serious damage, Pristine might have some kind of gravitational powers and you twins have got pyro and hydro kinesis." See looked at twins.

"I will gather more information on what your powers are and how you must be trained. For now let's finish this discussion, tomorrow we need to start packing and we will shift before New Year." Piper announced

"Wait mom, but what about the power of ten? We are only nine." Prue asked. They were as much confused as their parents were.

"Honey we will think about that later, first thing is first. We have a lot to do." Piper replied.

Coop, Phoebe, Paige and Henry left the manor with their respective kids waving goodnight.

-x-

Piper, Phoebe and Paige shifted to the mansion before New Year and had arranged much of the households to their respective place.

Mansion was big, children took their rooms upstairs as they preferred (It was easy to sneak if your parents' rooms are not just at the side of your room!). The attic was dedicated for magic chamber and the book of shadows just like the old Halliwell Manor. Everyone was happy and healthy.

The Charmed Ones were now waiting for the aforementioned threat, the invincible demon, which was supposed to kill them.

One week had already passed and they were enjoying staying together. The grounded children were bound to stay at the mansion. They however were enjoying this leash as it didn't matter much.

Kids were training with their new powers well. They learned how to invoke them and control them at will, however the extent of power and aim were still messy.

Leo informed them that Sam was gaining the 'power of agility'; it heightens every sense in his body, even the sixth one too. He can sense the intentions of and dangers on his family at will. Also he can see, hear and smell the things which are far away. He also was able to touch almost everything that was too extreme for others, hot and cold. He became some kind of analyst in the family.

Pearl's power was Electro-mental ignition. She was able to mess with the neural signals of any living thing and can force her own commands, or simply burn the cells by flashing too much emotion beyond the capacity of a cell.

Pristine had acquired the power of geo kinesis. According to Leo this power manifested in her because she was always thinking to force her levitation to come down to ground.

Wyatt, Chris, Prudence, Phoena and Pandora were also learning to control their offensive abilities. Except Samuel, almost everyone in the family now had offensive powers.

Pauline being too young was kept away by her mother. She also chose to keep herself away from anything that had to do with fighting and breaking!

-x-

Pauline's birthday was coming. She would be 11 this 13th of January. Everyone was preparing for the big party. Since it was the first birthday of any Halliwell in this new house, they wanted it to be special. Moreover Pauline was sweetheart for everyone; this fact was making everyone to prepare everything perfect.

"Oh I'm so excited. My darling will be 11 tomorrow." Phoebe said to Pauline on the day before her birthday. Pauline was very happy that her parents, cousins and sisters were completely distracted from the vision she saw. But she also knew that, the day was near for the demon to attack. Her fear was true.

She saw the demon again appearing in the garden. She woke trembling and all sweaty. It was still 10 minutes to 12 in the night. Everything was quite and calm, others were sleeping. The creatures of the night were making noise outside. Since mansion was away from the main city, the new surrounding was too quite than their previous home.

She left to fetch some water to drink. She however chose to survey the garden. Curiosity kills!

The stroke for 12 rang on the grandfather's clock and along with a frightening blue flame a large demon appeared in the middle of the garden. Pauline had never seen such a face. She knew that fear now has a much more different definition for her. Her voice died in her throat.

The demon was unlike anything anyone had ever seen. He, as Pauline deduced his gender by the muscular form of the body, was 12 feet high. He had sparkling red eyes like rubies. He had a pair of tentacle under his chin and a pair of ram like horns. He had this shining reddish-brown skin.

He turned to Pauline and smiled looking directly at her and she shivered. She felt that next second she will die.

Pauline, run. A voice in her head ordered her.

In that instant she somehow got the courage to run inside the mansion. The demon hovered behind her.

"DEMON, SOMEBODY HELP." She ran through the living room towards the stairs shouting at the top of her voice. Seeing her shouting the demon waved his hands and Pauline got thrown away and crashed onto the family portrait that Aunt Paige had framed in the middle of stairway divide.

"Pauline!" Chris shouted at his sister coming down through the stairs. Apparently they all had heard her shouting and rushed to help. "Wyatt! Heal her." Chris commanded and ran towards the demon to stop him. Wyatt orbed away to Pauline's room and tried to heal her. Wounds disappeared from her body, however she was still unconscious. He thought may be because of impact. He then went to help his family. Coop and Henry stayed to protect her and stay away from the battle.

Downstairs the demon was wreaking havoc; even the combined powers were ineffective on him. Piper and Pandora were blasting him with full fury, but the demon was sort of invincible, blasts were little more than scratches to him. Samuel, Paige and Phoebe were throwing all offensive potions at him; however that too was not causing any serious damage. The sisters signalled the kids to use their new powers.

Pandora threw flame streams at the demon; he however blocked that with his force field but in the process, the heat burnt his skin. This, kind of pissed the demon off. He threw plasma balls at her.

"PLASMA BALLS!" She shrieked. Chris pulled her away and blocked the balls; the balls were stuck in his force field. The charge however was too great to handle, some balls blew and he was thrown back. He was knocked off. However few balls were thrown back at the demon. He was seriously injured by his own plasma balls.

Phoena and Prudence took the lead by throwing a stream of water and air, this worked. The demon was uprooted and was thrown back at the wall. It seemed as if he disliked the water. The Halliwells were however too busy to notice that. Wyatt had returned; he blew him further back with his energy waves. The demon used his telekinesis to throw Wyatt back. Pearl was about to use her empathy but Paige stopped her. Apparently she thought that mind of a demon with this much power might damage hers in return.

Leo was stuck to his feet seeing the stature of the demon. He uttered, "Draxian."

"Excuse me?" Everyone said in unison.

"He is a demon not of this world." He continued.

In the meantime the demon got desperate; he was throwing everything with flick of his hands and was throwing a lot of plasma balls.

"Leo, all the demons are not of this world." Phoebe said ducking the plasma balls.

"No it's not that. I'll explain later." Leo however was thinking something else. His eyes suddenly sparkled.

"Phoena trap him in a ball of water." He ordered. Phoena shot a jet towards the demon waved her hand and trapped him into a giant swirling water ball. The demon clearly disliked water, he tried to break free.

"Pristine quickly, fix him to ground." Leo was clearly following some strategy. Pristine waved her hands down and the force of gravity made the demon to kneel. He was now starting to suffocate. The water ball surrounded him inside a dome shaped structure.

"All now we need is the heat." Leo continued.

"How are going to do that?" Pandora asked. Within a split second she realised what she was asking. She threw flames at the water dome; however they were not strong enough, apparently it got snuffed every time.

"I've an idea." Prudence continued. She surrounded the water dome with a sheet of air and said, "Heat the air, it will heat the water in turn." Pandora did as she was told to do. It worked, air was strengthening the fire and water started to heat up. All four girls were engaged now.

The demon however was a pain in the butt. He sat in a sage like pose and closed his eyes. He lifted his arms and started to wave them. The Charmed sisters were thrown back with this attack. Wyatt was furious; he sent another energy wave at the demon. This interrupted him for a short while but he concentrated even harder. Wyatt's continuous waves were damaging the demon's body however he was bent on killing the charmed sisters.

Chris came back to his senses. He saw demon flicking his hands and his parents, cousins and aunts get thrown at random places. Four girls and Wyatt were engaged to hold the demon at a single spot so he was the only one to offend the demon. He came in between demon and his family.

He watched the demon closely. Every time the demon tried to attack telekinetically, he blocked it with his telekinesis. These collisions of mental blasts were creating loud clangs and waves.

Leo after settling for a moment returned to his senses, he then ordered Pearl to ignite the demon's mind.

"But Leo she's 16. What if that might her in return?" Piper voiced her concern.

"She's my daughter. She can do it." Phoebe said proudly, but along with some worry.

"Perhaps you should use my concentration power." Sam said smiling. Pearl smiled back.

Pearl held Sam's hand and concentrated her empathy on the demon. It was filled with vile and vicious thoughts, rage and terror. The level of evil was beyond any seen on Earth. It was perhaps closer to the source of all evil. It was true; if Sam was not helping her concentrate she would've lost her way. It was not so easy even though. Finally she forced her way. The demon started to twitch and struggle.

His skins were nearly tearing apart, but he was far from being vanquished. It was time for the spell. Phoebe, Piper and Paige said the power of three spell but it didn't worked, it only created void wounds on the body of the demon.

Chris was the only standing Halliwell who was free.

Phoebe said, "It's time for your generation to take our place, prepare a spell to vanquish this evil. Use you newfound power of ten."

"But Aunt Phoebe, we are only eight here." Chris said. The new generation was struggling to keep the demon at leash. Pearl and Sam were sweating due to the vast amount of evil they were handling.

"Invoke the power in some way so that it would still have effect. Pauline is upstairs but she is still with you." Paige suggested. She orbed book of shadows to her and handed it to Chris. He saw the prophecy. He then tried to improvise a spell.

On this moment and this time,

I call upon the powers of new Halliwell line,

We entrusted with the power of ten,

Fighting separately but trying as one,

We may be separate person and at different place,

Still draw our power and banish this evil from time and space.

The demon groaned loudly, lifted his arms and his body was dispersed with a loud blast. The blast threw everyone back.

"This worked!" Chris shouted coming to his feet.

He continued with pride, "Apparently I thought that we may be living at different places but our powers have awakened in each of us, so the tenth member's power can be called upon too with a little tweak."

The mansion was ceremonially wiccaned for Halliwell family, getting its first vanquish. The living room was messed like a plate full of scrambled egg.

Everyone stood to their legs. The looks on their faces was a mixture of confusion, terror and exhaustion. However problems were far from over. Before they could have discussed the aftermath of vanquish of the strange demon, they heard loud bangs and crashes upstairs.

Before anyone had reached the room, Pauline was in the hands of a demonic bounty hunter. He was recognizable with the tattoo on his forehead. Chris was in the front but before he could have attacked the demon glistened away. Henry and Coop were unconscious on the floor.

"NOOOOOOOO..." He shouted. Tears came in his eyes.

Though Chris was grumpy, sarcastic, impossible, cage of teen rage for everyone else, however he was also a caring and soft person which no one else except Pauline knew.

Everyone was shocked. Phoebe looked as if she would have a heart attack. Piper held her with a sad face.

The victory had cost them their most precious Halliwell.
