CHAPTER THREE
The power of three were sitting in the lounge room talking about Leo. Selena seemed quite concerned.
"I don't know you guys, I mean; I never knew white lighters even existed. And also, why did he never come down before now?"
Philippe leaned over towards her.
"But as he said, we didn't need him before now."
"Ands that's another thing," said Selena
"Why didn't he tell us about the new demon or warlock or whatever it is? In charmed Leo always told them what was coming."
"No he didn't. He warned them something was coming and then they went to the…"
"Book of shadows?" Karlia chimed in.
"Right behind you." Said Philippe.
Selena grudgingly followed. And the three of them found themselves going upstairs towards the attic.
"You know," said Selena.
"Our life is starting to look exactly like charmed. Power of three, Book of Shadows, Book of Shadows kept in attic and not to mention, white lighter."
Selena said the last two words almost as though they were a bad taste in her mouth.
"Yeah well, it's our destiny. Why do you think you were obsessed with the show? To help you prepare for what was to come." Said Philippe.
"Yeah well it sucks, not being able to do things for ourselves. I mean LEO is gonna come shining in and…"
Selena stopped as she saw white and blue lights appear and then be replaced by Leo.
"See what I mean?"
"What, what is it?" asked Leo in the sate of emergency.
"Good question," responded Selena.
"Getting bored up their in the clouds huh?"
"You called me." Said Leo.
"No I didn't" said Selena growing impatient.
Suddenly it dawned on Philippe what had actually happened.
"Oh my god, do you mean to tell us Leo, that every time we say your name, you are gonna appear?"
"Yeah that's the way it works, why?"
"Because Selena just said your name, in passing and here you are. So you mean even if we are just talking about you, one mention of your name and your gonna, orb… it is called orbing right?"
Leo nodded.
"… Orb in every time?"
Karlia and Selena looked like they were watching a tennis match with their heads going from side to side following the conversation.
Once again Leo nodded.
"Well I think that's a little too strong a connection." Said Selena with a rye smile.
Both Philippe and Leo turned to Selena in surprise. They had almost forgotten that she was there.
"Yes I'm still here…hi. Anyway I think you need to go up there and tell your buddies to lighten the connection. Because you could otherwise find yourself on call 24-7."
"But Selena, I am on call 24-7." Replied Leo.
"Ok fair point, but what if, say, I'm in bed with my boyfriend and we are talking about what happened today and I happened to mention your name, you would just appear?" Selena was growing more and more frustrated by the second.
"Well you shouldn't be telling anyone else about you at the moment if you don't want yourselves exposed."
Selena pointed a finger at Leo.
"That is not my point."
"I know, I get it. Guess ill go have a word with the elders."
Selena, who still looked frustrated, gave him a dismissive wave with her hand.
"Yep, go, go, go, go."
Once Leo orbed out of the room, Selena raced over to the book of shadows
