Little Witch
Chapter Seven
Once again, a confused look crossed a Halliwell boy's face. Leo explained it to Chris, very careful to avoid looking at Pippa. Chris, however, kept giving open-mouthed, shocked glares at her. Once Leo had finished, Chris held up both hands, the universal sign for "stop everything." They all looked at him, waiting for whatever it was he wanted to say.
"So let me get this straight. I have a half-demon cousin who's Aunt Prue's and Cole's daughter?" Murmurs of agreement rose around.
Chris plopped down next to Pippa on the couch, rubbing his forehead. He turned his body and faced her. She was watching his with her mouth slightly crooked up to the side, her face a mask of sardonic amusement. "So...you guys are going to hunt Cole down?" Chris asked, turning to face the Charmed Ones - his mother, Aunt Phoebe, and his new aunt and new Charmed One, Paige Matthews. Phoebe nodded, but Leo looked like he didn't think it was such a good idea.
"You don't necessarily have to do it..." he said.
The Charmed Ones looked at him like he was crazy. "Leo," Piper said, getting up. "We got a direct order from the Elders to kill Cole. If they killed one Charmed One, what makes you think that they won't kill another? Or kill someone close to one of us, someone who isn't Charmed? We have to comply."
Grimly, Leo nodded. "I'll start making a potion or two," Paige said, going into the kitchen. "I'll help," Pippa said, taking her grandmother's spellbook with her. No, Pippa thought. Not my grandmother. I have no relation to the woman who made this book. Oh well...I've still memorized the whole thing. There's some good stuff in here, especially for vanquishing demons. Even if that demon's my dad.
