Thanks for all the reviews, really appreciate it. Same issues with spell check, so ya :/ anyway enjoy this chapter. Side note, this chapter has POV changes and since I hate when people put whose POV it above that section I'm not doing that, I am just going to keep typing and by the area they are in is going to describe who it is.
I was back in the studio, Andre had more songs for me to record. "girl you are amazing, you have to share your talents with the world."
"I'm just not ready for a tour. I have to much to do here." I explained to him, which felt like the 100th time.
"that's ridiculous, we make a great team and we need to become partners on tour."
I was tired of his begging, yes it was my dream to go on tour one day, but being a witch took up a lot of my time. I didn't mind it though I actually liked doing it in a weird way. However for what ever reason he was just not taking no for an answer, it was as if he was programmed to get a yes out of me.
"I'm sorry you feel it's ridiculous, but it is the truth. Now I have to get home, we are all going out to dinner. Robbie must of told you, would you like to join us?"
"yeah he told me about it, stormy blues right?"
"yes, should be fun, so are you coming?" I asked again.
"wouldn't miss it."
"great" I smiled. " and it won't be weird between you and Jade?"
He shook his head "Nah. We haven't hook up in at least a month, so it's all good."
As I tried not to have that image in my head, I waived good-bye. "alright see you tonight. Meet you guys there at 7:00."
"Hey I'm home" I called out. There was no reply. Cat must still be at work and Jade was where ever it is she goes when she didn't have to go to play practice, or wasn't studying the Book Of Shadows.
I meandor around, got a bite to eat when Beck orbed in.
"Hey Tori."
"Hi, what brings you here?"
"I have news from the Elders. They say some big shifs are happening in the underworld. So you need to be on extra alert for demon attacks."
"what is happening?"
"they aren't sure yet. But they said it is big."
"we have to tell Cat and Jade. What could it be though?"
"well the underworld always has power shifts. However the Elders say this time is different."
"Amon your plan isn't working. The boy can't get Tori to leave she is to strong." Valac was very angry.
"you don't think I know that. My brothers are plotting something, a way to get rid of me for what I've done. We need to destroy the Enchanted Ones before my brothers or they destory us. "
"what am I to do your highness?"
"go back to the boy give him more fame and fortune, it is what he wants so badly, tell him he needs to sway her away and forget about being a witch."
"He has already tired that and it hasn't worked."
"This time we are going to give him ultimate powers." Amon handed Valac a small potion bottle filled with a purple liquid. "tell him to drink this and he will have all the powers of a demon, and if he can't fufill his duties then we will vanquish him."
Demons weren't the only ones who wanted to get rid of the Enchantged ones. Darklighters also wanted a piece of the action. "if we get the mutt then the Enchanted Ones would be gone and the demons would have to bow down to us" Decca said.
" we need a plan of attack. They are strong" Basie replied.
" we are going to kill the half wtich –half whitelighter, get her while she is alone and bam we rule the underworld." With that Decca left.
"if only it would be that simple." Basie sighed as he left.
7 o'clock dinged and we met the guys at stormy blues. The reason why we chose this resturant was because Robbie needed to review it and he invited all of us to join him.
The food was so-so, but the atmosphere was cool. The colors were dark blues and blacks. The lighting was low, so it gave an illusion of being caught in a storm.
Andre received a text, he excused himself. Jade excused herself to use the restroom. I'm not sure whether jade really had to go or just didn't trust Andre, even though he hasn't done anything that I know of, but Jade did have a good sense of character.
Beck and I were able to be alone. Nothing serious was going on between us bit we did flirt and like each others company. Since my parents the elders changed the rules a bit so if we wanted to be together we could.
"are you enjoying your meal?" he asked
"eh, I have had better. You?"
" I agree about the meal. I have a question for you though. Why is it so hard to have small talk with you?" he smiled.
I laughed "I was thingking the same thing. We can talk about big things, but not our meals."
"that just means we are comfortable around each other and don't need small talk." He wrapped his arm around the back of my chair.
I began walking in to the alcove where the restrooms were, and I heard Andre talking. I stopped because I heard another voice. Which meant he wasn't on the phone.
I peeked around the corner and saw he was talking to someone I knew I had scene before. I couldn't place him though, I tried to listen to their conversation. It was muffled and I could only make out every other word spoken by Andre.
"Hey_ tried_best_ it's not_ fault_ she_want _ go."
More muffled words then I heard the words "ultimate powers" spoken by the other man.
I tried to get a better look at the man he was talking to, then I recognized him. He was the demon who got away the first time. I knew that was done on purpose, we should of looked him up then. But it's over and done with now to find out why he was talking to Andre. I forgot all about having to use the bathroom, and half sprinted back to the table.
"Tori, Cat we need to leave right now" I whispered to them.
"why" cat whined "I'm having fun."
I motion to Tori to freeze the room which she did.
"what is the matter Jade?" she asked.
"remember our first demon attack and the last demon escaped? Well I saw him talking to Andre and I heard the words ulitimate powers. We need to look up who he is and find out everything about him."
We knew we had to leave right away. I un froze everyone.
" Hey Robbie sweetie we have to leave something came up. so we're skipping this dessert, but maybe we can have our own dessert later" Cat seductively said.
"oh gross" Jade moaned. "thanks for dinner Rob by the way."
I winked to Beck to let him know that it is witch related and to come to the manor when he is done.
When we got to the parking lot I texted him "Andre has some deal with demon don't trust."
As I watched the girls leave, Andre came back.
"hey where did they go?"
I shrugged "they had to leave family emergency or something I don't really know."
My phone vibrarted and I read Tori's text. Good thing I was cool under pressure. I glanced at Andre trying to think of what sort of deal he had. I was going to try to get out of here as soon as possible.
Robbie sighed "isn't cat adorable?"
"sure" andre said.
"yeah man she is great" I smiled. I took a sip of my coke.
"Beck hows your relationship with Tori going?" Robbie asked.
I choked on my drink "what are you talking about? She and I aren't dating. we are just friends."
"really you look like more that to me. And Cat said you and Tori are getting very close."
"we are just friends, and I don't know what Cat is talking about." Even though I did like her.
Andre was getting antsy and he was deep in thought. "hey man are you okay?" I asked.
"yeah, yeah I'm good I'm going to get going. I'll see you back at the house Rob, see ya soon Beck."
Robbie finished writing his final notes when he spoke "you know he has been acting weird lately."
"how? He seems the same to me."
"he is just distance, always having to run off everytime he gets a text. I don't know feel like he is hiding something from me."
"it'll be ok" I said as we walked out.
"your probably right , he is just my best friend don't like to see him like this."
Since I am not one for sappy things I decided to end conversation there"well thanks for the invite Rob, enjoy the rest of your night." I walked to a random car in the opposite direction he was walking and orbed to the manor.
The girls and I were flipping through the book trying to find the demon.
"now tell us again what you saw" cat said.
"okay, I was walking to the bathroom and I heard andre talking to someone. I looked and recognized him from th efirst attack. I only heard a couple words but it sounded as if he was trying to defend himself and his efforts to get someone- obvilious one of us- to leave. I then couldn't understand what was said but I had definitely heard the words ultimate power."
"I found him" I called out.
They gathered around "his name is Valac, a level 2 demon. He has the power to give people their biggest desair. Which explains Andres big jump into the music business, but Valac can't give anyone actual powers so he is working for someone high up."
"but who?" Cat wondered a loud.
Beck orbed in at that moment. " you have anything?" he asked.
" sort of we know who he was talking to and who he has the deal with. But we don't know who is the one behind giving him powers." I summerized.
Who is the demon he was talking too?"
"valac" cat said. " he can give people their wildest dreams, but can't give people their own powers. The book doesn't tell us who does though."
He was in thought for a moment "only one of the 5 pronces of the underworld can."
"what are their names?" Jade asked.
"theres, mammon, Vassago, Sitri, Sear, and Amon. I'm going to ask the elders what they think." He orbed out.
"it could be anyone of them" Cat sighed.
"don't worry Beck will get info from the elders and we will be able to stop who ever it is."
"what we need to though is a spell to save Andre before this kills him" Jade pointed out.
"your right lets start" I said.
We worked on the spell until we thought it was perfect. Cat contributed a lot, she is very good at writing them. "how does this sound?" she asked.
" ashes to ashes spirt to spirt take his soul banish this evil."
"its great, now to just do it before it is to late."
Our thoughts were interrupted by a dark lighter attack.
"Tori get out of here" cat yelled. Jade flung one of the arrows back at the shooter which killed him. At seeing that the other immediately left.
"So just some added pressure on top of everything else." Cat voiced.
