We reached a dead end and I tried to catch my breath, "Why don't we just orb" I said between breath's. "Because that'll prove that were witches and give them even more of a reason to kill us" he said leaning against the wall. "There they are!" shouted a male voice. We turned around to see a ginger haired man with a knife in either hand and seconds later he was joined by about fifteen others. "How about that orb now?" I said through gritted teeth. "Good idea" he said as he took my hand and orbed us back to the manor. X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X "No Melinda, we are not getting a gold fish" Piper sighed. "Mum, I'm eighteen now, he isn't going to end up like Mr. Bubbles" she said pleadingly. Piper sighed and decided to give in, "Fine, but you can explain to your father why we have another fish" Melinda clapped to herself and went to pick up one of the plastic bags filled with water. As they reached the check out counter Paige sneezed and orbed on the spot, Piper gasped and everyone was staring. About a second later the screams came, everybody ran towards the exit and there were several cries of `Witch' and `Demons'. "Uh-oh" Paige said quietly. "Uh-oh is damn right Paige!" Piper shouted getting angry, she froze the room and sighed. "Melinda!" "Mum, what's going. on" she said as she emerged from the pet's aisle, "Oh" "We've got to go before." Piper began. "The witch hunters appear" Melinda said dropping her fish, "Orb, orb" she said getting scared. "Melinda, calm down!" Piper shouted, "Orb us home Paige" A smoke bomb got thrown through the window and Paige struggled to grab Piper and Melinda's hands. "Mum. help" Melinda said before falling to the floor unconscious. X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X "Now girls, while we sort this mess out your to stay here with Leo, he'll be here soon so be good" Phoebe said kissing each of her three girls. "Now I don't want to have to come back here alright" Coop said sternly. Phoebe chuckled and then grabbed Coops hand, she waved again to her girls and then they were back in their condo. "I hope their going to be alright" "They are sweetie, don't worry" Coop said trying to reassure her. Phoebe nodded and there was a sudden knock at the door, "Probably Paige, I told her to stop by" she said walking to the door. As she opened it, something pushed it open causing Phoebe to fall backwards onto her back. "Phoebe!" Coop shouted running to her but before he reached a man stepped in holding a gun. "Not another step" he said pointing the gun at Coop, "Magical filth" he spat. Phoebe began to come to and she gasped at the man holding the gun, "Stay down" "What do you want?" she asked him. "For you and all of the. the things like you to die!" Phoebe turned to Coop and he winked, he ran towards the man and teleported them both out of there. "Coop" she whispered to herself. X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X "Hey dad" Wyatt said as he walked into the kitchen. "Yes son?" Leo replied as he poured a dark blue liquid into a vial. "What're you making?" "Just a potion for a quick escape, since I can't orb" he said as he lined the newly filled vial up against seven others. "Dad, you know none of us would let anything happen to you" Wyatt said patting Leo on the back. "Hey, I know but. Watch out!" Leo shouted as three men walked into the kitchen. They fired a few bullets as Leo and Wyatt ducked behind the counter, Wyatt grabbed his fathers hand and orbed them into the attic. "How did we not hear them come in" Leo said locking the attic door. "I don't know but maybe we didn't take this Utopia situation as serious as we were supposed to" Wyatt said walking to the book of shadows. He was looking for some sort of spell to help them but looked up when his father didn't reply. "Hey dad." "Wyatt, help your mother" he said as a scruffy looking man held a knife to his throat, the man grinned smugly and threw a potion to floor, instantly vanishing with Leo. X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X I sighed in relief as I saw the manor around me and instantly noticed my hand was empty, "Chris" I shouted to myself. "Aari, is that you?" Wyatt called coming down the stairs, I smiled at him and then gasped as Piper and Paige orbed in unconscious. "Mum!" Wyatt shouted running to Piper. I was about to run to Paige but the four kids from before appeared, "Wyatt" I said. He got up and I instantly thought of them all vanquishing, "It won't work" the boy who I'd fought in the park said. "Why not?" I asked angrily. "Because were immune to your powers and we haven't come here to fight" he continued. "Oh really? Then why the hell are you here" Wyatt spat. "Because were here for him" he said pointing towards me. "Why me?" "We've seen what you can do. And you're sure enough going to see what we've already caused" he replied pointing to Piper and Paige. They orbed away leaving me and Wyatt frustrated. "What now?" I asked. "We need to find everyone else. after we wake Paige and mum" he said. X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X After realising that most of everyone was missing we were all in the attic trying to think of a plan, "So who's missing?" I asked. "Melinda, Henry, Chris, Dad and Coop" Paige said sighing. "Does anyone have an idea of where they could be?" Piper asked. "Nope. but probably somewhere even we can't get since Aari's power didn't work on them" Wyatt said. "Well just the thought part. My other powers seemed to work on them fine" "Maybe we could say a spell? How about the `To call a lost witch spell'?" Phoebe suggested. "I guess that's our best shot, I mean, it can't hurt" said Paige. "Right, who's going to say it?" I said to Paige. "Well, we could all say it and see where we end up" she replied to me as she turned pages in the BOS. "Right" said Wyatt smiling at me, "Were going to find him" he said reassuring me. "I know... it's just, I should've tried more" "I've tried thinking of Coop a million times, I doubt there's much more you could've done, it really isn't your fault" Phoebe said rubbing my back. "I guess your right" I said looking them over, "But maybe we should changing into something more demon friendly" since everyone was wearing clothes for the hot sun, shorts, skirts etc. X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X .I'd changed into a pair of navy jeans, a white shirt with a black skinny tie and the new Dolce and Gabanna ankle boots that Chris had bought me for my birthday. "Stylish" Phoebe said winking at me. I chuckled and joined everyone around the BOS. "Course unseen across the skies. Come to us, we call you near. Come to us and settle here. Blood to blood, I summon thee. Blood to blood, return to me." White orbs surrounded us and I suddenly landed on my backside, I got up and sighed as I brushed the sand off of my trousers. I looked around and saw Melinda lying lifeless in front of me. "Melinda, get up" I said shaking her a little. She groaned and I was about to orb us but something threw me against the wall. "No way is it going to be that easy. son" said a female voice. I instantly looked up and saw my mother walking towards me, "Mum.?" I said. "Yes son, it's me. I'm back" she replied. I was only able to get into a kneeling position and I looked at the woman who'd left me 17 years ago. "What are you doing here?" "I'm here for you of course" she replied. "You left me. alone, what could you possibly want with me now?" "Well. your power is quite something" she began as she paced back and forth. I sighed, "You know what. I am sick of this power, it's caused nothing but trouble so. take it, take it and let me take Melinda home" "What? You'll just give it up, just like that" she said in disbelief. "Sure. just leave me alone!" I shouted. She smiled, "Fine, cut yourself with this and that's all I'll need" She handed me an athemay and Wyatt and Chris suddenly orbed in, "Aari, let's go" Chris said holding out his hand. I grabbed the athemay and cut myself with it, my mother laugh and then began to cut herself with it, "Aari stop it!" Wyatt shouted. I ignored him and walked over to Melinda; I put her arm over my shoulder and watched as a bright blue light surrounded my mother. She laughed maniacally and seconds later it turned into a scream. She was surrounded by flames and she was vanquished, the blue light began racing through the air towards me and knocked me to the floor. Wyatt caught Melinda and Chris was by my side in an instant. "I guess she couldn't control my powers" I said as he ran the back of his hand against my cheek, I smiled and then felt unconsciousness wash over me.
