7. Demons Knocking
Robin stifled a yawn as she stretched in her chair. Looking over to the seat two rows over, she saw Chris in a similar state of boredom as she was, as was Purity and Junior. All four of them, as well as the other Halliwells had grown up hearing about the truce the Charmed Ones had with demons that they wouldn't attack till the young ones were of age. They were true to their word but attacked Robin, which sometimes dragged the Halliwells into it.
Although the teacher was nice and she had to cover this area of the subject, it was still boring. She could at least give the ones that had heard the story something to do. But no, they were forced to sit there and listen to her go on and on.
Yawning loudly, Robin looked at the clock. Forty more minutes. She was going to die of boredom if she had to wait that long for the lesson to end. Stretching again, she discreetly aimed a finger at a boy sitting next to the window who was turning around to talk to his friend about the chest of a girl in the front row.
Magic surged through Robin's arm before it was released and inflicted on the boys. They both gasped and looked down as their shirts stretched out, their chests growing and forming into female ones.
The teacher stopped midsentence to look at the two boys, the class soon following. There was a stunned silence as everyone looked at the boys then each other to try and find the witch powerful enough to do that sort of magic, then there was an eruption of laughter that thundered through the room. The teacher was even fighting a laugh as she tried to lull the class.
"Alright, alright, calm down and whoever did it please turn them back," the teacher requested.
The laughing lowered in quantity but Robin didn't change them back. She felt they deserved it and they were learning their lesson.
"Fine." The teacher sighed. "Let the spell of young, now be undone."
Nothing happened. The spell didn't work and Robin knew why but no one else did. The laughing started again when the class saw the breast had not disappeared. The boys looked mortified and looked around the room, begging whatever student did it to fix it.
"Huh," said the teacher, sounding impressed. "I've used that spell since I started teaching and that is the first time it hasn't worked. Amazing piece of magic. Well, boys, if the student doesn't fix it then you might have to go shopping for bras." She turned her eyes on the students, silently asking Robin to come forward.
"I'll do it," Robin spoke up, "As long as they will stop acting like chauvinistic pigs and looking at girls body parts." Both boys nodded their heads eagerly. "And you let the Halliwells and I do other things while you talk about the Treaty the Charmed Ones made with demons cause we know it. Oh, the spell didn't work cause I'm a Consobrina. I'm legally an adult among my people. You said young!"
"Oh, I didn't realize you knew, but then again I shouldn't be surprised," the teacher reasoned. "Alright, you may be excused from this class and the ones following that are about the Treaty. Now please change them back."
Robin clicked her fingers and the boys' chests flattened out, although their shirts were a little stretched from the transformation.
The Halliwells and Robin jumped up and dashed out of the room, Chris high-fiving Robin the moment the door closed behind them.
"Excellent!" Purity cheered.
They trudged into the library and Junior threw himself onto one of the lounges, leaving no room for the others to sit on it. Purity just scoffed and sat in an armchair on the other side of the coffee table. Robin and Chris just sat on the ground with their backs against the lounge.
"God that class had been boring, but impressive piece of magic, Robin," Junior said, putting his hands behind his head and laying back.
"As much as I love my family's accomplishments I don't have to hear about them all the time," Chris reasoned as he put his arm around Robin, making her lean into him.
"I know how you feel," Robin agreed, baring her head into Chris's chest.
The library was empty except for some parents looking around the school, wondering if they wanted to send their child to it. All the parents paid no attention to the four students lazing about. The students decided to while away the hours playing games with their magic, like summoning a book from across the room, or in Robin's case, lying down, on the ground with her eyes closed and putting her shield up whenever the others got a certain distance from her, to expand her senses.
"You sleeping over my place?" Chris asked the Twice Cursed as they walked to the door that walked down the hall to Leo's office, intent on orbing him home.
"Sure, sounds like fun." Robin let Chris walk a little in front of her before she jumped on his back.
"Oof," Chris exclaimed out of surprise.
"I'm to lazy to walk. Give me a piggy back, Christerdonkey."
"Fine." Chris sighed overdramatically, and as Robin draped her arms over his shoulders, he saw a fake gold ring on her right hand, making him smile.
"Now forward to your dad's office," declared Robin, gabbing her fist out in front of them in a power stance.
"As you wish, my lady." Chris laughed, running down the corridor with Robin holding on tight.
"I'll never be your lady!" retorted the girl, sliding off his back out the front of Leo's office. The door was closed and glowing red, which meant he was busy and didn't want to be interrupted unless it was an emergency.
"Oh really?" Chris asked, pinning her to the wall with his body. He moved his head so his lips brushed her ear as he talked. "You really think that?"
Robin looked up the distance in their heights, looking through her lashes, her jaw soft, her lips parted, slightly puffed out and shiny from the natural lip-gloss her species could put on their lips. "Why, Chris, is there something you want to," she looked down at his pants before looking back up at him, "tell me?"
Blood rushed through Chris's body, headed to one direction. He found himself pushing his body closer to Robin's, craving the heat she radiated and the softness of her curves.
"You shouldn't play games you're not ready to play," whispered Robin seductively.
As Chris merely gave a moan in reply, the office door glowed gold and opened. The Consobrina quickly released the witch from her spell as Leo walked out of his office.
"Hello, Robin, Chris," greeted the Headmaster before he looked closer at his son. "Are you alright? Your eyes are very wide."
"I... I'm alright," statured the boy.
"Yeah, he is," agreed Robin, jumping on Chris's back. "Ready to fly airline Chris?"
The older man just laughed and grabbed his second son's arm. They appeared in the kitchen where Piper was teaching Melinda how to make a pasta sauce.
"Why'd you get me to transport you when you could do it yourself?" Chris looked over his shoulder at the girl still on his back.
"I told you!" whined the brunette, staying a hold of the boy's shoulders. "I'm lazy!"
"At least she admits it," Piper said, throwing an ingredient into the sauce.
"Get off me!" Chris laughed.
"No! Take me to the living room, I want to watch TV," Robin demanded, bouncing on his back. "Come on, giddy-up."
"I'm not a horse!"
"No, but if you don't do as I ask, I'm going to put you under my power again," threatened the girl.
"That's what you did last time?" asked Chris in astonishment, his family just silently watching the banter.
"Of course, what did you think happened?" Robin slid off his back and came to his side, draping her arm over his shoulders and pushing her chest out. "Would you have reacted the same if I hadn't used my powers?"
"Whatcha do?" questioned Piper, smiling in amusement.
"I seduced him!" Robin proudly stated.
"Why?" Melinda looked disgusted at the thought of her brother being aroused, especially by someone she saw as her sister.
"Because my species has to release their sexual frustrations in small doses such as seducing people or they will have a hunger that can only be quenched one why."
"How?" the young Halliwell asked slowly, not knowing if she wanted the answer.
"Sex," Robin answered just as slowly, looking at her pointedly. "And any other pleasurable things in the same nature."
Piper looked at her son's best friend a little closer before voicing her thoughts. "Are you a virgin?"
"A what?" The girl looked genuinely confused.
"A virgin?" Leo asked, "Do you still have a virginity?"
"What's that? I've never heard of it." Robin looked like a deer in the headlights. She looked from Piper and Leo, who looked uncomfortable, to Melinda who looked shocked at Robin's confusion, to Chris, who looked embarrassed.
"W...well, um, a virgin is someone that hasn't had sex. Virginity, in females, is a layer of skin, called a humane... um," Piper started.
"Ohh," Robin exclaimed. "I don't have one of those."
"So you are no longer a virgin?" Chris asked, dreading the answer.
"No! I mean, my people don't have virginities. That skin would cause pain, Consobrina only have pleasure."
"So you haven't had sex?" Piper tried to clarify.
The girl shook her head. "Nope, I'm a half-blood; I can stem my hunger much easier then the other Cousins. Some let the hunger consume them and have sex, others have to use a small dose of their powers on people."
"So you'll be seducing random people?" Chris asked.
"No, probably just you, and maybe one or two randoms."
"Can you give me warning?"
"I'll think about it if you give me a piggyback into the living room," Robin bargained. Her friend just knelt down enough for her to jump on his back. "Yeey."

"The next generation of Charmed Ones are growing stronger," a demon hissed in the darkness of cave. "They kill off our kind whenever the Twice Cursed is attacked and I believe it is time the treaty became null-en-void."
There was a murmur of agreement from the handful of henchmen the demon had.
"Now, what makes the Charmed Ones so great?" the demon asked in a rhetorical voice, striding back and forth in front of the other demons. "They work well together. They aren't like the Charmed Cousins back in the 1920's. They rely on one another but at the same time are not defenceless by themselves. We must look for a weakness. And thankfully the new generation has one. The sister, are female, and they are ruled by desires but they are more based towards finding love and having children, or the overall human desire to succeed. But there are now three males and well, we can make them act on a different desire."
The head demon smirked as the others laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was a grunt and a thud. Piper looked up at the ceiling, worried. Without a second thought she put down her book and walked up stairs, being wary of any danger. She walked up to the attic, turning the doorhandle quickly. Throwing the door open, Piper threw up her hands, ready to freeze or blow up the intruder depending on what had to be done.
The invader gasped and looked at Piper with a guilty look.
"Billy?" Piper exclaimed in shock.
"Sorry, Piper, but a demon attacked Cary and I can't ID it so I thought I'd pop up here and look in your book," Billy finished her explanation with her usual cheerful voice. "So I teleported here but in my rush landed on my butt."
"Fair enough," agreed the older witch. "Is Cary okay?"
Billy smiled widely. "Yep! He has my telekinesis abilities and his dad's shape shifting powers. He was fine but he couldn't vanquish the demon. Not that I would let him. He's only seven. He's a little shaken up. He was crying and talking about the yucky white demon that tried to blind him."
"Oh, that's a Grimlock. They mainly live in the sewers and if your son injured him, you can scry for them. There's a potion in the book to defeat them."
"Way ahead of you with the scrying thing. Tim has already found them but we don't know how to vanquish them. Can you get me a pen and paper to write down the information?" The blonde witch asked.
"Sure," replied the other, walking over to a table and grabbing the essentials. "Do you want me to make Cary something to make him feel better? I know my kids used to like peanut butter cookies. That's how Chris got his nickname. He used to always request them."
"That would be great, Piper, thanks." Billy sighed with gratitude and smiled at one of her old mentors before taking the writing material and looking for Grimlocks in the Book of Shadows.
"It's nothing, really." The elder witch walked out of the attic, heading for the kitchen to fulfil her promise to the other witch and mother.
Billie got to work writing down the information she needed and when done she went looking for another demon's info. She had only seen a glimpse the she-demon but she still wanted her vanquished. "Ahh, got you!" she said triumphantly, looking at the page.
"YOU'RE BETTER THAN DRUGS
YOUR LOVE IS LIKE WINE
FEEL YOU COMIN' ON SO FAST
FEEL YOU COMIN' TO GET ME HIGH
YOU'RE BETTER THAN DRUGS
ADDICTED FOR LIFE
FEEL YOU COMIN' ON SO FAST
FEEL YOU COMIN' ON TO GET ME HIGH!"
The group of teens sat in the park as two of them yelled the song at the top of their lungs. Their friends found it entertaining, seeing as the actual song was being played off an ipod along with their friends singing it.
"I swear, Robin, it's so good to have you back!" Trisha stated, looking at her friend with a huge smile on her face. "It just hasn't been the same. But you're so different... where did you go anyway?"
"I went home!" plainly stated Robin.
"We know that." Mandy rolled her eyes at her friend's blunt reply. "But where in the world is home for you?"
"A remote island off the coast of Italy, no one travels there unless a native from there," Robin answered, although somewhat cryptic.
"So if you ever went back there we wouldn't be able to visit you?" Rob asked in disappointment.
"Sorry, but no, though I do have pictures!" From her backpack, the brunette pulled out a large pile of photos and handed them to his friends.
The girls squealed with delight, and though Rob rolled his eyes, he looked at them gleefully. All three of them had heard little of Robin's homeland except that she wished, and would return for some time. They loved the scenery of cliffs, mountain ranges, waterfalls. There was one of Robin, sitting in a cave behind the waterfall, her back to the water and her white dress falling over her knees.
"Nice!" Amberlie exclaimed, "You look really beautiful!"
"Thank you, it's a cave my mother had a picture taken in." From her wallet she withdrew an old picture of a blonde haired woman, sitting in a similar pose to Robin, wearing an almost identical white dress. There was silk, beading and lace over it that made it look highly expensive.
"That's a royal gown, isn't it?" questioned Chris without thinking twice.
As her friends gasped with shock, Robin stomped on his foot. Amberlie was obviously faking her reaction, seeing as she knew of Robin's powers, just as Robin knew of hers.
"YOU'RE ROYALTY?!?!" yelled Trisha, drawing the eyes of curious standbys.
"Yell louder, I don't think the people on the golden gate bridge heard!" hissed Robin.
"Sorry," whispered the red haired girl.
"It's alright," sighed the brunette. "You probably would have found out eventually anyway. Yes, my aunt, my mother's twin, is the ruler of my homeland. My mother was the younger of the two, and therefore was not to become Queen."
"Was?" Mandy picked up on the tense.
"Yes, was. My mother was killed within the year of us travelling here."
"So it's just you and your father?" Rob wondered out loud.
"No, my father died before I was to meet him. Aiden is my adoptive father."
"So you have no parent?" Amberlie stared in shock at her friend, having not known this about her.
"Nope, they're gone. Aiden is of my land though, that's why he speaks Latin. My real father did not speak Latin as his actual language, but he did know it."
The four friends didn't know what to say in response to Robin's confession. Chris, already knowing this, just put his arm around Robin and drew her near, knowing that it saddened her to talk of her family.
"You alright?"
"Of course."
"I'm sorry; I should have stopped them from asking questions."
"It was bound to come up eventually. It's just a miracle that it wasn't before now, when I was weaker."
"Still." Chris looked at his feet, digging his hands into his pockets.
Robin allowed a small smile before she hugged her friend tight and let his worries disappear. "You going to be alright walking home?"
"Of course." Chris gave her a cocky smile, so the Cousin shot him a seductive one, making him dizzy.
"Play nice!" She chuckled and walked inside her house, looking over her shoulder as she closed the door.
His head still spinning ever so slightly, Chris walked down the stairs and started heading home. When he had only a few blocks to go, he bumped into a girl of the same age as him. He looked at her only to get a smile so much like Robin's thrown his way. His mind stopped working properly, and before he knew it, he was no longer on a street, walking to his place. He was somewhere else, somewhere... sensual.
