Chapter 3
March (The children's first demon battle)
Melinda danced around her room as she got ready for her party. It was Melinda's fifth birthday and she was excited. The usual guests along with Melinda's friends: Allie, Alyssa, Kiera, Isaac, Jordan, Jake and Layla were attending.
The party began at one. The first party game was musical chairs. There were fifteen children playing, so Leo set up fourteen chairs in the living room. Piper turned on the music and the kids began walking around the chairs. After a moment Piper stopped the music. The kids quickly sat down in the closest chair. Parker, who barely knew to play, was the only one not on a chair. This meant she was out.
Leo removed a chair, so that there was fourteen kids playing and only thirteen chairs. Piper started the music and the kids began walking around the chairs. After a moment Piper stopped the music, so the kids quickly sat down in the chairs. It was Jordan who was out this time.
As the game went on: Wyatt, Melinda, the twins, P.J., Henry, Allie, Alyssa, Isaac, Jake and Leah lost. There was now only one chair. It was between Chris and Kiera. Piper started the music and the kids began walking around the chair, their eyes glued to the chair. Piper stopped the music and the kids swung themselves into the chair. The winner was…Chris by a second.
The next game was freeze dance. Half of the kids lost in the first round. Melinda lost in the second round because when the music stopped she was still dancing. It was Henry Jr. who won.
For supper Piper made Melinda's favourite meal, spaghetti. After supper Piper and Leo carried the cake into the kitchen while singing. They placed the cake on the table in-front of Melinda. After cake it was time for Melinda to open her presents. She mostly got toys, but she also hot: a movie, a few books, a music box, clothes and her first bike.
After the party it was bedtime for the kids. After putting them in bed, the adults sat in living room and decided to watch some home movies of the past year. It was good remembering all the memories.
A couple of days later the kids were sitting around the living room bored. It was Saturday and all their friends were busy. The adults were also busy with work, house cleaning or taking care or potty training Payton, whose birthday was the following month.
"Pretty colours" Parker suddenly said starring out the window.
The others looked outside to see what Parker was talking about. It had stopped raining and a beautiful rainbow was in the sky. This gave Melinda an idea.
"Why don't we find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" Melinda suggested.
"Good idea sis, I'll ask mom" Chris agreed.
"Mom, can we go find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" Chris asked Piper who had just walked into the living room on her lunch break.
"Sure, be safe… you should find the leprechauns and ask them for permission, it is their gold" Piper stated.
"How do we get to them" P.J. asked.
"I have a tool that can help, I'll go get it" Piper said and headed to the attic.
Piper returned shortly with a shillelagh, which is a stick that the leprechauns use to summon and step into a rainbow, that's their transportation. Piper said the spell and a rainbow appeared. The kids stepped inside and it transported them to the land of the leprechauns. There a few leprechauns spotted them and brought them to the others, they knew they were the children of the charmed ones.
"Hello mates, what brings you here" A leprechaun asked.
"We want to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, we've come to ask for your permission" Wyatt informed.
"Well that's very generous, and it sound like a fun journey" the leprechaun said.
"Why don't we come with you, we know they way" another leprechaun suggested.
"Ok, what we should call you" Tamora asked.
"I'm Nathanael, and this is Quinten and that's Vincent" The leprechaun introduced.
The leprechauns and the children began their journey. With the leprechauns help, this was not a long journey. They reached the end of the rainbow and there was a big pot of shinning gold. The leprechauns gave some to the children, and as they were about to head back a demon shimmered in.
The leprechauns pushed the children aside and tried to take on the demon. This was a bad choice because the demon easily defeated them. The children tried to escape but more demon arrived and they captured the children.
The demons brought them into this strange cave like office. The children were thrown into a large cake with heavy metal bars. When got up they realized they weren't alone. Sitting in a corner of the cage was Billie, who at that time was five months pregnant.
"Billie, what are you doing here" Kat asked.
"What... oh no you they got you too" Billie said when she realized they were there.
"Do you know why they took us" P.J. asked.
"I'm not sure, but I have no idea why they took Henry, he's mortal" Billie replied.
"I'm here because even though my baby's destiny's been changed, I'm still destined to destroy your parents" Billie informed.
Back at the manor the adults had just received the news from the leprechauns. They had all survived the attack. They had been hurt badly but Paige healed their wounds.
"Ok Paige can you sense them" Piper asked nervously.
"Yes, but the weird thing is I can sense Billie too" Paige replied.
"That means Billie's with them. The question is, why the demons would want a pregnant young adult and a bunch of kids" Leo stated.
"Wait Billie's with them, I know what's going on" Prue said coming down from the attic with the book of shadows.
"The demons that took them were the ones who captured Billie's sister when she was a child" Prue revealed.
"But Billie's baby is destined to be our destroyer anymore" Phoebe reminded her.
"No, but it's still Billie's Destiney" Prue stated.
"And they have our children, so we'll go rescue them. That's when they want Billie to kill us" Piper realized.
"I say we go to play along, we know Billie won't kill us" Phoebe suggested.
"You're right, plus they have no idea how powerful our children are" Piper agreed.
"I'd love to see them take on the power of four, a set of charmed ones, 6 powerful children and a pregnant witch at the same time. I'll bring the popcorn" Paige said.
The sisters orbed to the cave office, while the guys stayed behind with the leprechauns, Payton and Parker. In the cave the sisters ran to the children and Billie who were still in the cave. Before the battle began, Paige had just enough time to orb her son, the only one without magic, home.
"Now Billie, Kill them" the demons ordered.
"No, I won't I don't work for you" Billie screamed in denial.
"Then I'll do it myself" the head demon decided.
The sister didn't do anything except nod at the children. This was a good time for a demon kicking lesson and practice. Tamora vanquished one by blowing him up, this started the fight. The demons and children gave it everything they got. In the end forty demons were vanquished and all 6 children plus Billie remained.
The waited awhile for more demons to show, but none came. So Piper blew up the bars of the cell and freed the children and Billie. After hugs of relief the family and Billie returned to manor. There they decided to summon the angel of destiny to change Billie's Destiney. That way both Billie and her baby would be safe.
