Chapter two
February (Demonic crush)
Wyatt hadn't been able to sleep the night before. He had been too excited to eat breakfast. Now he was jumping on his bed, excitedly waiting for his 8th birthday party to start.
"Today I am eight, and that's really great" Wyatt sang as he jumped on his bed.
A few minutes later, Chris entered his room which he shared with Wyatt.
"Wyatt your friends are here" Chris announced.
Wyatt literally jumped of his bed and ran down three floors to the living room. Chris did his best to keep up but fell behind anyways.
"Hi Liam, Hi Kennedy, Hi Dakota, Hi Austin, Hi Carter, Hi Lucy" Wyatt said to his friends as he hugged them.
"Hi Wyatt happy birthday" Wyatt's friends said.
Piper then came in the living room, accompanied by Victor and Billie.
"Hi grandpa, hi Billie" Wyatt happily said and hugged them.
"Hi slugger" Victor said.
"Happy birthday" Billie added.
"Ok children, time to play musical chairs" Leo announced.
Prue and Paige set up all 11 chairs in the living room. Coop started the music, and the twelve children began walking around the chairs. When Coop stopped the music, the quickly sat on one of the chairs. P.J. was the one who wasn't fast enough to get a chair, so she was out.
The kids got up and Paige removed a chair, so that there were 11 children playing and only ten chairs. Coop started the music, and the kids began to walk around the chairs. Coop stopped the music, and ten kids sat down. It was Wyatt's friends Austin who was still standing, he was out.
The kids got up for the second time, and Phoebe removed a second chair, so that there were ten kids playing and only nine chairs. Coop started the music, and the kids began walking around the chairs. Coop stopped the music and nine kids sat on the chairs. This time it was Carter who was out.
The game went on, and Chris, Dakota, Kat, Kennedy, Liam, Lucy and Melinda got out. On the final round, only one chair remained, and it was between Wyatt and Tamora. Coop started the music and they began walking around the chairs, not daring to take their eyes off the chair. The other kids cheered for who they wanted to win. Coop stopped the music and it was a struggle. In the end Tamora managed to knock Wyatt of the edge of the chair.
"The winner is… Tamora Piper Mitchell" Henry announced.
"What's my prize" Tamora asked.
"There is no prize" Piper informed her.
"No prize, what a rip off" Tamora said.
The adults laughed and put the chairs back in the kitchen. Piper then cooked cupper while the kids played freeze dance. An hour later supper was served. After supper Piper and Leo brought out the cake and sang the birthday song. Wyatt then blew out the candles and the cake was served and eaten. Afterwards Wyatt opened his presents.
The party lasted another half hour then the guests went home. The adults put their children to bed. Both Parker and ten month old Payton slept better than usual.
A few days before Valentine's Day, when Piper picked up the boys from the bus stop, they weren't alone. Both of them had a girl with them.
"Mom this is Ava, can she come over to play" Wyatt asked.
"Sure honey" Piper agreed.
"Mom, this is my girlfriend Anika, can she come too" Chris asked.
"Sure, but when did you get a girlfriend" Piper asked.
"Today" Chris replied.
When they arrived at the manor, Piper helped them take off their coats and bags.
"Ok do you girls know your phone numbers" Piper asked.
"Yes" Ava and Anika both said.
"Ok go call your parents and tell them you're here" Piper instructed
As the girls did this, Henry arrived with the pre-schoolers. The girls were covered in mud. Little Henry was spotless.
"What did you do" Piper asked them.
"We were pretending to be pigs" Kat explained.
"So they rolled around in mud" Henry added.
"Phoebe, we've got to wash some pigs" Piper called out.
Upstairs in the boy's room, Wyatt and Chris were playing house with Ava and Anika. When the boys turned around for just a second, the girl's eyes flashed red. This happened several times when no one was looking.
Right before supper, Ava and Anika headed home after insisting they didn't want to stay for supper due to not being hungry. Outside the manor they talked, after double checking that everyone was out of ear shot.
"Why can't I just eat them" Anika whined.
"Our boss told us not to harm them, he needs them alive, then once he's done with them you can eat one" Ava reminded her.
"This is so unfair" Anika argued.
"I know, it would be nice to turn one evil and for you to eat the other one, but we have our orders" Ava stated.
That night when the kids were in bed, Piper and Leo talked.
"So our six and eight year old sons have girlfriends" Leo stated.
"Their first crushes, so cute" Piper said.
"Yeah it's sweet" Leo agreed.
The next day, Wyatt and Chris met up with Ava and Anika during recess. A little red stain on the corner of Anika's mouth remained unnoticed.
"So Chris, want to come to my ca…house for supper on Valentine's Day" Anika asked with a sweet smile.
"Sure, but I'll have to ask my parents' Chris replied.
"How about you Wyatt, want to come over for a Valentine's Day supper" Ava asked intriguingly.
"Of course, but I'll have to ask" Wyatt responded.
When they got home they did ask their parents. Piper and Leo said they wanted to call the girl's parents. The next day the boy's got the number and gave it to Piper and Leo. However Ava and Anika had told them not to call until after supper. They needed to meet with their boss first.
"What do you want girls" the boss asked grouchy.
"We need fake parents and a house, by supper time and for Valentine's day" Anika informed.
"Is this request for the plan" the boss asked sternly.
"Yes sir" Ava replied.
"Very well, I can turn my cave into a house, and I'll arrange for some shifters to play mom and dad" the boss agreed.
"Thank you sir" the girls said and bowed.
"Whatever, NOW GET OUT" the boss snapped.
Later, after supper, Piper called the number the boy's had given her. It turned out Ava and Anika were sisters.
"Hi is this Mrs. Nomed" Piper asked over the phone.
"Yes, Alucard Nomed, who is this" Mrs. Nomed answered.
"I'm Piper Halliwell Wyatt and Chris's mom" Piper informed.
"Oh yes, I've been expecting your call."
"My son's told me your girl's invited them over on Valentine's Day for supper."
"Yes, sweet isn't it?"
"Very, so when and where should I take them?"
Mrs. Nomed gave Piper the address and hung up the phone. Suddenly Paige orbed home.
"Piper, I was just summoned by the elders, they said there is a threat, one we won't see coming" Paige announced.
"Any ideas" Piper asked.
"They said it could be anyone or anything. A mail man, stray dog, plumber, chairs" Paige replied.
"Ok I know I'm going to regret this but turn on the demon alarm" Piper instructed.
One Paige did this, there was a knock on the door. Piper had Wyatt activate his orb shield around himself and the children, and carefully opened the door.
"Oh Ava, Anika, I'm sorry girls but it's not a good time" Piper told her visitors.
"That's ok, we're not here to play, I forgot my necklace here can I have it back" Anika asked.
"Of course it's right on that table by the door, help yourself" Piper said.
When the girls came in the demon alarm went off, so Anika quickly snatched her necklace.
"Sorry girl's fire alarm is broken, have a nice night" Piper said and rushed them out.
When they left the alarm turned off.
"That doesn't make sense" Phoebe stated.
"The book!" Prue shouted.
Paige orbed to the attic and discovered the book of shadows was still there, it hadn't even been touched. Paige orbed back down and delivered the news.
"Then it must have been the babies who set off the alarm" Leo stated.
Meanwhile, Ava and Anika were meeting with their boss.
"Did you retrieve the necklace you carelessly left there" The boss sternly asked.
"Yes sir, it won't happen again sir" Anika said.
"Good, were there any issues" the boss asked calmly.
"Yes sir, a demon alarm" Ava reported.
"Do they know it was you who set it off" the boss asked a little riled up.
"No sir, they rushed out and told us it was a broken fire alarm" Ava responded.
"Good, but they know something's up, since there was no alarm last time you visited, we'll have to be more careful" the boss decided.
"You're dismissed" the boss released the girls.
On Valentine's Day morning, Leo was sitting at the table writing a list of people they recently met. There was something about Mrs. Nomed's name that was bugging Leo. He couldn't figure out why Alucard Nomed was bugging him, besides the fact that her parents obviously made her name up. Seriously Alucard couldn't possibly be a real name!
Melinda who wanted to dress herself came into the kitchen and sat down beside Leo.
"I'm ready for pre-school daddy" Melinda proudly said.
"Looks like backwards is the new style, good try honey" Leo said.
When Melinda orbed back to her room to try again, an idea hit Leo. He picked up his pencil and wrote Alucard Nomed backwards. Backwards it spelt Dracula demon. He knew it was a made up name from the start!
"Oh no, she's a vampire demon, which means so is Ava and Anika" Leo discovered.
Leo grabbed the phone and quickly called Piper on her cell. Piper who was at work answered. Leo informed her on what he had discovered. All the pieces fit! The fact that the girls didn't want to stay for supper, vampires don't eat, the fact that they were two people no one would expect to attack them, and of course the fact the demon alarm went off when they came in the manor.
"Is anyone home right now besides you" Piper asked.
"Prue and Andy are upstairs with Payton" Leo replied.
"One of you should go pick up the boys, I want them away from those girl's" Piper instructed.
"Ok I'll pick them up, I'll also follow the girls when they leave school, see where they go and maybe who they're working with" Leo stated.
"Good idea" Piper agreed.
Just like he said he would, Leo arrived at the elementary school under his cloaking power. He saw Ava and Anika exist the school and he followed them. He found himself in-front of a cave, this was not just a cave, it was a wizard's layer. Leo could tell because of the smell of potions. He followed the girl's in and saw a stern looking wizard seated at a table.
"Girls have a seat" the wizard said.
"To what do we owe this pleasure too" Ava asked.
The girl's politeness made Leo roll his eyes. Since when were demons polite to each other?
"I want to remind you of the plan, just to make sure you know what you're doing" the wizard said.
"Part one is complete, the boys and the family trust us" Anika reported.
"Good, then what do you do" the wizard asked.
"We bring the boy's here on Valentine's Day, they think they're coming over for supper" Ava stated.
"Right then their father will sense they're in danger, and their mother will follow" the wizard explained.
"How can you be sure" Anika asked.
"A mother would never turn her back on her children, even you're mother Anika, the vampire queen" the wizard replied.
"Right, so when the parents get here, you'll kill the mother and that will end their power of four" Ava said.
"Yes, then to end their children's power of three, Anika you get to eat Chris as your reward, and Wyatt is your reward Ava" the wizard reminded them.
Leo couldn't bear to listen to another word. He orbed around town collecting Piper, Phoebe, Coop, Paige and Henry from work. He then orbed them all and himself to the manor and repeated what he heard.
"I can't believe this, I will make the vampire vanquishing potion" Piper stated.
"I'll pick up the girls and Henry from pre-school" Henry offered.
"Phoebe and I will write or find a spell to vanquish the wizard, there's no time to do our research about him" Prue stated.
"Ok and I'll bring the boys to the house to make sure they don't figure out that we know, Paige you use your cloaking power and orb there with your sisters" Leo instructed.
"Right, then Leo you will leave, and we'll attack" Phoebe said.
Everyone split and did their part, then around five Leo brought the boy's over to Ava and Anika's house and explained the situation to them on the way. Paige cloaked herself and her sisters and arrived outside the cave that had been transformed into a house. When Leo arrived with the boys, the shape shifter that was playing mom was waiting for them outside the so called house.
"Hi you must be Mrs. Nomed, I'm Mr. Halliwell" Leo introduced himself to the shape shifter.
"Yes nice to meet you, hello boys, girls your dates are here" Mrs. Nomed called out.
Ava and Anika came out of the house all dressed up, like they were really going on dates. They hugged the boy's and brought them into the house. Leo left and Paige along with her sisters followed the demons into the house. Ava and Anika were with the boy's in the kitchen pretending to eat the meal. The shape shifter joined them and that's when the attack came.
"Sorry to interrupt this meal Mrs. Nomed or should I say Mrs. Demon" Piper said.
Wyatt activated his orb shield which sent the girls flying across the room since they were sitting beside them. The shifter used her powers to escape and the girls fought back revealing their true selves. Prue sent them flying across the room again and they crashed into the wall while knocking over some chairs. Piper threw the vampire demon vanquishing potion at them, and it took care of Anika but it didn't do anything to Ava.
"Surprise, unlike Anika I'm not a vampire demon, I'm a demotic child" Ava revealed.
"Waite, so you were only pretending to be sisters" Paige said.
"Obviously" Ava said.
Suddenly the wizard appeared and the sisters quickly said the vanquishing spell. However in the process of vanquishing the wizard Ava got away using her powers. After the wizard was taken care of, everyone looked for Ava but didn't find her.
"Do you think she'll come for Wyatt" Piper asked.
"No she was only after him to follow an order, demotic children like to cause trouble and be free she won't attack when she knows she will lose" Prue recalled from the book of shadows.
"I can't believe my first girlfriend was a demotic child" Wyatt stated.
"You think you've got problems, my girlfriend was a vampire who wanted to eat me" Chris stated.
The adults laughed at the boy's comments and headed home. That night when all the children were in bed, Piper informed Leo, Coop, Henry and Andy on what had happened at on the boy's first demotic date. This was an event everyone would remember for a while.
