Hi, Everyone…
Sadly I don't own Twilight, Charmed or August Rush
Anyway enjoy this chapter!
I woke up feeling rested with Jasper still singing. This time he was singing 'Something inside you'… I love that song, it was from the movie 'August Rush', I loved how John Meyers sang it, but Jasper's voice was so much better than his. I let him finish the song and then I talked
"So you liked 'August Rush'?" I asked him with a raspy voice and a smile on my face
"I liked the soundtrack, but the end of the movie was kind of unfinished…" He said shrugging and I agreed "Are you feeling better now?" he asked a little concerned
"Yes, as good as new…" I said and then to distract him I asked him innocently "J…?"
"What is it?" He asked me with an eyebrow arched
"What time is it?" I asked him smiling and he laughed shaking his head
"It's twenty past three in the afternoon, darling" He said caressing my cheek "Why don't you like watches again?" he asked me curious
"I don't like to use it on my left hand, and it bothers me on my right hand when I'm writing" I said shrugging and then I added "Also, one time I got electrocuted because of my watch" I said nonchalantly
"You're kidding, right?" He asked me doubtful
"No… I was at the Manor, it was my birthday party, my aunts decorated the stairs with Christmas lights; when I was walking down the stairs my watch got stuck on a wire, there was short circuit and I got electrocuted; it wasn't big deal, but I had to heal the lights, they weren't functioning anymore" I told him seriously and he burst laughing which bothers me a bit
"I'm glad I amuse you!" I told him sarcastically and got out of bed
"Darling, don't get mad, it was funny" He said and got out of bed too "Come on, let me give you a good afternoon kiss to make it up to you" He said and went to kiss me but I projected myself away from him
"What?" He asked me confused
"No, you don't deserve a kiss" I told him from the other side of the room
"I apologize, darling, I'm really sorry. Forgive me, please?" he said with poppy eyes and getting closer to me again but when he was about to hug me I orbed away from him
"Let me think about it" I told him playing hard to get "Though, I could forgive you faster if you bring me breakfast" I told him. He groaned and I smirked "Bye, bye" I said waving to him and orbed to the bathroom, locking the door when I was inside. I did my things and took a quick shower. I got out of the bathroom in a towel because my clothes were still on my suitcase. Jasper was already there with my food. When he saw me in just a towel his golden red eyes got darker
"I brought you food, am I forgiven now?" he asked with a husky voice and watching me like a prey
"Yes, you are" I told him softly
"Can I kiss you now?" he asked me and I nodded. He walked toward me and watched me up and down, I felt like a prey about to be devoured and I liked it. He was now wearing his jeans, but I still was ogling him. He put his hands on my hips and guided me to our bed. He lay me down and then laid himself down on top of me, untied the knot of the towel but didn't took it off, my body was still covered and I was shivering every time his skin touched mine
"Good afternoon" He said and then kissed me. Gently at first, but then our passion and love overflowed us and the kiss became powerful. I put my hands around him to keep him closer to my body. I needed more. I needed him… I thought, but then I remember we were in a house full of vampires. I didn't want to lose control of my hormones and be claimed by Jasper like this, so I kept kissing him, but not as heated as before. He noticed the change and pulled away from the kiss
"What is it?" he asked me with a frown "It's something wrong?"
"It's just… As much as I'm enjoying this, we are in a houseful of vampires and I'm sure they can hear everything we are doing" I told him
"You're damn right!" Emmett yelled from downstairs and I raised one eyebrow at Jasper
"Let's just say that right now I'm not really comfortable with it" I told him and he sighed and stood up
"I understand. I'm sorry about that" he told me signaling my untied towel looking not so sorry about it
"Sure" I told him rolling my eyes and knotting my towel again. He looked at me and then closed his eyes for several seconds; meanwhile I sat down on the bed and started to eat my breakfast
"I'm going to take a shower while you eat, ok?" he said looking at me, his eyes were lighter, but not by much. It made me smirked "A cold one" He added and I burst laughing
"Go ahead. I'll finish my food, thank you by the way" I told him
"Sure thing, darling" he said and entered the bathroom. I ate everything he gave me and looked around the room but didn't see my bag
"J, where's my bag?" I asked him softly
"In the closet" he yelled back. I went to the closet and spotted my bag. I took it and put it on the bed. I grabbed my underwear, a set of black and red boy shorts and put them on. I pulled out some dark skinny jeans and a black tank top. I always like to wear dark clothes; anyway I dressed up and put on my brown high top boots and arranged my clothes in the closet. Jasper came out of the bathroom with only his towel on, perfection!
"You look gorgeous, darling" he said and gave me a little peck on my lips
"Thank you, you look great too" I told him grinning
"I haven't dress yet" he told me raising his eyebrow
"I know" I told him and winked at him, he laughed and shook his head. He went to the closet, put on his boxer and dropped his towel; I sat on the bed and watched him as he dressed
"Did you tell the guys about Cole?"
"Yes, I did" he said and I nodded
"Do you have any news from him?" I asked him a little worried because I haven't heard the alarm go off again
"No, he hasn't appeared yet" he said and that made me worried even more. He said he was going to go to the underworld; what if they find out he isn't evil anymore and vanquish him "Hey, I'm sure he's ok. He is a big demon, he can take care of himself" he told me when he saw me frown
"Don't tell him I'm worried about him" I told him with a small smile and he smirked
"I won't, don't worry" he said and took my hand. He was already dressed up "Do you want to go downstairs right now? The guys are here, we can practice with them"
"Sure, that way I could practice my powers too. I need to master my powers again and soon, so you can turn me" I told him
"You want to be turned before the fight?" he asked me and I nodded "Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think that's a good idea" he told me
"Why not?"
"To cut a long story short, newborns are uncontrollable. You won't be able to fight right away because you'll be thirsty and wild" he told me softly, like he was afraid to hurt my feelings
"No, I won't. Witches react different to vampires' venom"
"How's so?"
"Well, the venom will turn me into a vampire after one day of excruciating pain, not three; My gifts will stay with me and they will be a little more powerful than now, that's why I need to control them before my change, otherwise it can be dangerous for me and those around me; and even tough I still will need blood to sustain myself I won't be affect by bloodlust they way others vampires are" I informed him and he was a little shock
"That's great. I'm glad you don't have to suffer for three days" he told me nodding "Let's go downstairs to practice; you need to control your powers ASAP. We don't know when the battle is so we need to be ready right away" he said and I nodded happily. When we reached the living room Rose, Emm, Edward and Alice were there
"Are we going to practice right now?" Emmett asked us excited. I could feel his emotions pretty clear. He was feeling like a kid in a candy store
"Yes, Emm, we are" Jasper started to say when the alarm went off. Everyone tensed and were looking at me. I signaled them to wait and expanded my senses, I felt something a little familiar. Cole was back. I waved my hand and deactivated the alarm
"Show yourself, Cole" I said and Cole shimmered in with a smirk on his face
"Hello, everyone" he said and I rolled my eyes. Jasper shook is head and hugged me from behind
"Guys this is Belthazor aka Cole Turner; Cole they are Rosalie, Emmett, Edward and Alice" I said pointing to each one; they nodded
"You don't look as evil as in the Book" That was Emmett of course "I'm even taller than you are" Emm said measuring himself with Cole
"Well, how about now?" Cole asked him smiling and turned into Belthazor. Emmett took a couple of steps backward surprised. Cole was bigger than Emmett that way, like one foot taller and he look a little creepy when he smiles in his demon form; you can see his sharp teeth and big dark eyes. It always fascinated me his demon form
"Yeah, now you do look evil" Emm murmured and went to stand beside Rose. They were watching him a little scared. I guess they've never seen a demon with a demon look
"Yeah, yeah, Cole is really evil, a big bad demon… What took you so long?" I said sitting down. Everyone followed me
"It's not an easy thing to be in the underworld without being detected" He replied irritated watching me
"Watch your tone, boy?" Jasper said menacingly, it was weird to hear Jasper calling Cole a boy, but to him he was. Jasper was born in 1843 and turned into a vampire in 1863; Cole was born as half demon half human in 1885. Cole shook his hand and groaned
"I'm sorry about that, Prue. It just that I was a little tense down there" he said feeling bad for snapping at me like that so I forgave him and I nodded
"It's ok… what did you find out about the battle?" I asked him taking Jasper hands in mine to calm him a little
"They are uneasy down there. I heard that a vampire and a witch are in charge. They are gathering allies of both species, making an army. They want to take over the world and destroy the great source of white magic that exists; they want to eliminate the ultimate power. They want to kill you, so nothing would stand in their way to rule the world" He said and everybody tensed up. For me it was nothing new. Since I was in my mother's womb demons had try to kill me "We need more allies for the battle
"We made a couple of calls to our friends. The one we can trust blindly. They will be here as soon as they can" Edward said and Cole nodded
"You should call Peter and Charlotte too. They're gifted and are great fighters" Rose told Jasper and he nodded. I squeezed his hand and had a premonition
Premonition
I was in a country looking house, there was a dark haired vampire man and a blonde vampire woman; they both had red eyes and the man had a suitcase in his hand
"Come on, Char, Jasper and PB need us" the man said
"I know, you already told me that, Peter… did you call them to tell them we are going" Char asked him. The man, Peter smirked
"Don't worry sugar, our PB will let him know that we'll be there in three days" he said and the vision faded away
"What is it, darling?" Jasper asked me "You got the Alice look"
"You had a premonition?" Cole and Alice asked me at the same time and I nodded. I was a little disorientated
"What did you see?" Rose asked me
"Jasper doesn't have to call Peter and Charlotte"
"Why not darling?" Jasper asked me
"Because they're already on their way here" I told him "I saw Peter hurrying Char, telling her Jasper and PB needed them, then Char asked him if he called you to let you know they were coming and Peter just smirked and said 'our PB will let him know we'll be there in three days' then the vision faded away"
"Yeah, that's Peter, the know it all" Jasper said "I guess we will see them in three days"
"Ok, so that's it?" Emm asked and they all looked at him like he had grown a third eye
"You need more, Emm?" Alice asked him bewildered and he shrugged
"You have to excuse Emmett; he doesn't know how to express himself. What he meant was, what do we do now?" Rose told us shaking her head to Emmett
"We train" I said and they nodded
"Prue needs to learn to use her powers like she did before and master the ones she inherited" Jasper said
"And she needs to do it as soon as she can. She had too many powers, and powers as strong as the powers she has tend to… consume people, even witches"
"So that's why you almost faint earlier. You used to much your powers practicing with me" Jasper told me softly "Why didn't you tell me it was hurting you?" Jasper asked me concerned
"It wasn't because of that. I was actually emotionally drained; too many things have occurred this couple of days. I was tired. Don't worry, I still have time before that happens to me" I told him, but he still looked worried
"She's right, humans would be consumed faster, but witches take longer to fade. It just for precaution that I want Prue in control quickly" Cole said to reassure Jasper and since that was the truth and he could feel it, he nodded believing him
"You need to practice with us too, teach us how to fight against demons and witches and I can teach you how to fight against our kind" Jasper told Cole and Cole agreed
"Then, let's start" Edward said and we walked to the big backyard
"Nice training field you have, when I was training Phoebe to fight against the Source, we needed to practice in the basement, they were too noisy neighbors back then" He said feeling longing "Anyway, first thing I need to know is what kind of gift you have" Cole said and the guys looked at me
"Jasper told you what happened early, my mom sent him here to help us; you can trust him" I told them and they nodded
"I'm a mind reader" Edward said
"I'm a seer" Alice said
"You already know I'm an empath" Jasper said shrugging, Cole nodded
"What about you two?" Cole asked Rose and Emmett
"We don't have any gifts" Rose told him and he looked at them curiously
"I can sense gifts, magical gifts in you" Cole told them and they shook their heads
"We don't know what you're talking about" Rose said, and she was telling the truth
"Emmett resembles a lot a Brute demon and Rose could be Aphrodite reincarnated" I told Cole "I think someone bound their powers when they were humans, even made them forget they were gifted, but once you have a magical powers something always stays inside you"
"Yeah, I was thinking something like that too" Cole replied deep in thought
"What are you talking about?" Emmett asked curious and confused, the exact same feelings everyone were having at the moment, except from Cole
"Prue told you her story, right?" Cole asked and they nodded, then he arched an eyebrow like telling them 'put the dots together'
"What you are saying is that some magical being bound their gifts and made them forget just like Prue did to herself ten years ago?" Edward said
"That's exactly what I'm saying" Cole said
"It could have happened even in another life. We won't know for sure" I said and they were watching Rose and Emmett amazed
"What's that about a Brute demon?" Alice asked me
"And Aphrodite?" Rose asked
"Wait here, I'll show you" I said and orbed to my witchy room, took the Book of Shadows and orbed back to the backyard
"You're faster than Paige orbing" Cole stated
"I know, she told me once" I said smiling softly, remembering my dead crazy aunt "Anyway, here guys"
Brute DemonUpper level demons with overwhelming physical strength.
They work alone, generally crushing the skulls of their victims.
Explosive potions have proven effective in vanquishing them but caution is recommended as Brutes are often fond of camouflage before attacking.
Aphrodite
Also known as Venus and the Goddess of Love, was once a mortal, but was transformed by the Elders into a goddess. She was made the Goddess of Love, and possessed the powers of enchanting, empathy, whirling and luring. With the other mortals-made-gods, Aphrodite helped entrap the Titans, but her own power went to her head and she, with the other gods, forced the world to worship them.
"So, you thing Emmett could have been a demon in another life and Rose could be Aphrodite?" Jasper asked thoughtful
"They could be, maybe Emm quitted his demon side because he wanted to be good, maybe a witch cursed him or saved him. Rose could be her or a descendent from her lineage. The thing is they have magic inside. Magic that I can release" I said and they nodded excited and a little worried
"Cool, I have magic in me" Emm said excited
"Why are you worried?" I asked them
"Imagine Emmett with a power like shimmering or something like that, if you knew Emmett as much as we do, you would be worried too" Edward said. Jasper, Rose and Alice nodded agreeing and Emmett rolled his eyes
"Whatever, I'm going to be powerful" he said shrugging
"Yeah, but you also will have to use your powers for good, because if you used them for personal gains, the Council will remove them. They did it to Phoebe once, a charmed one. They won't think twice to do the same thing to you" Cole told him "The only one with a free pass to do magic here is Prue" Cole added and Emmett groaned. Everybody else looked relieved even Rose, which made me smile
"So, what we do now" Rose asked me
"Well, right now you guys start practicing with Cole while I think about a spell to see if I can give you your magic back" I told them
"Well, if somebody can pull that off, it has to be you" Cole said smiling and I smiled back "You know what, I think I can go back to the underworld and find a couple of powers from the power brokers; you can bless them so when we put them inside of the mind reader, the seer and the empath they won't get corrupted or consumed by them" Cole said grinning
"Cole, call them by their names" I told him after I felt the annoyance emotions of Edward and Alice, and also after I saw Jasper face then I added "Find teleportation powers, like blinking, shimmering, flaming, you know, those kinds. I need them to go anywhere I can without me, just in case" I asked him
"What are Power Brokers, darling?" Jasper asked me. Everyone was intrigued about them. I looked in the Book and showed them the entry for the Powers Brokers
Demonic Power BrokersDemons that auction Demonic Powers
Off to the highest bidder. They are
Known to sometimes use humans to
Store Powers until they are bought.
A human being possessed of a demonic
Power will become confused, then
Frightened, paranoid, violent and
Demonic and will ultimately die
If the power isn't withdrawn.
"I need to read this book, that way I won't have to asked you about what are you talking about every five words you say" Jasper said smiling and taking the Book of shadow from me
"We might as well do that too" Edward said
"You sure need to do that" I said "I'm thirsty" I thought out loud. I was about to stand up when Cole stopped me
"Don't move. I'll get you something to drink" Cole said and shimmered away. After three seconds the alarm went off again so we looked at the house frowning
"Cole is the one activating the alarm" Jasper told me "There's no one else in the house"
"If he is good, why the alarm keeps going off?" Alice asked me
"That's because of his demoniac powers" I said and Cole shimmered in
"What took you so long?" I asked him taking a water bottle for his hand "Thank you" I said and drank it
"I was looking for something to eat" he said shrugging "We need to do something about the alarm you know, it's making me deaf" he said touching his ears
"I'll make you immune to it. Let me think a little" I told him and he nodded
"Demons eat?" I heard Emmett asked while I was thinking how to do what I just said
"I do. I'm half demon, half human. I even bleed red" Cole answered
"I don't like food, blood is my thing" Emmett said and Cole nodded. Then Emmett kept talking "Your blood smell good, but I don't want to suck you dry" Emmett said and we all burst laughing
"I'm glad you don't want to do that big guy" Cole said and looked at me
"Emmett, baby… Shut up" Rose told him
"Why?" he asked her innocently
"Because you are sounding weird"
"I don't… oh… I get it. I'll shut up" He said looking down. The guys were still smiling
"It's already dark. Are we going to practice of what?" Cole asked
"I got it" I said and they looked at me like I was crazy
"You got the spell?" Jasper asked me and I felt the guys understanding
"Yeah, the one for Cole" I said and stood up, because we were sat on the grass "Give me your hands, Cole" he came to me and gave me his hands, they felt warm. I liked more Jasper's chilly hands, anyway…
"Be careful, ok" he told me looking me in the eyes
"Hush. You trust me right?" I asked him and he rolled his eyes
"Yeah, I do"
"Turned into Belthazor" I said and the red demon appeared in front of me
"I like your demon form" I said and he smiled. Showing me his razor-sharp teeth, I heard Jasper huffing from behind me so I turned around to look at him "Don't be like that, you know I love more the fallen angel/warrior look than the demon look, no offense Cole" I said
"Not taken" Cole replied. I kept looking at Jasper and winked at him, he looked at me smirking and shaking his head. The guys laughed at that. I took a deep breath and looked at Belthazor's dark eyes. I concentrated and levitated to reach his high
"Guide spirits in the air
Belthazor's soul is pure I declare
Since he is not evil anymore
He's not a threat to me or my home"
I said and we glowed for a while, after the glowing finished I let go of his hand and touched the ground
"Did it work?" Emmett asked from where he was sitting
"Only one way to find out" Belthazor smirked and shimmered out. After five seconds we still didn't hear a thing. Belthazor shimmered in and hugged me, twirling me around a bit "You're better than the charmed ones, little one" Belthazor said grinning like a mad man and feeling proud of me. Rose, Emm, Edward and Alice were also feeling proud of me and a little sad when he mentioned my mom and my aunts. I smiled sadly; their feelings were getting to me "What is it?" He said turning back to Cole and looking at me worried. I shook my head
"Prue, darling. What is it?" Jasper asked me hugging me
"It's nothing. Cole just made me remember my uncles. They used to call me little one" I told him and they all nodded
"Sorry, I won't call you like that again" Cole said looking down and feeling conflicted about it. I knew what he was thinking, if he had stayed good, he would be my Aunt Phoebe's husband and would be my uncle
"Don't be sorry, and please keep calling me little one, I like it. I'm just emotional. I remembered them and your feelings are getting into me" I said looking to them all "Really, I'm fine, it's nothing" I said and raised up my shield around Jasper and myself, and then sighed when I couldn't feel them anymore "Much better now" I said smiling looking at them. I was calmer; Jasper was soothing me with his touch
"Why don't we go to the witchy room and see what you can do for Rose and Emmett while the guys show Cole how to kill vampires" Jasper suggested
"Sure. Be good, Cole" I told him
"Sure thing little one" Cole said and we smiled "Help him, and if you need us, you know where we are" I said and orbed to my room with Jasper
"Why are you laughing, Jasper" I asked him curious when he started to chuckle
"Cole is throwing energy balls at Emmett" he said and we both laughed at that. Cole! I thought shaking my head
