The Power of Three [Twilight/Charmed]

Part Two - Chapter Thirteen: Needing Answers

Amelia yawned flicking through the Book of Shadows, she rubbed sleep from her eyes as she tried to focus on her search; it had been a week since she had seen darkness coming for them and she still hadn't figured out what her vision meant. 

Amelia smiled softly as Paul wrapped his arms around Amelia's waist and pressed a kiss to her head as he closed the book before he turned his imprint to face him. 

"Come and rest, we'll figure this out later," Paul murmured making Amelia sigh as she nodded her head, she was exhausted and she needed to sleep if she wanted her powers in full working order; she knew that they needed to get to the bottom of her vision before it occurred. 

Paul led his girlfriend into her old bedroom, she had spent a lot of time in the attic as she tried to figure out what her vision was trying to tell her; she sat down on her old bed and watched Paul for a moment. 

"You know I love you," Amelia whispered making Paul pause as he looked down at his imprint of six months; he had a feeling that this was related to the fact that she couldn't figure out with what her vision meant. 

"And I love you but nothing is going to happen, we will be okay," Paul mumbled brushing some hair from Amelia's face. 

Paul didn't like the fact that she was thinking about death, he wasn't about to lose her and he knew that if something were to happen then he would follow her as soon as he could. 

Amelia sighed running her fingers through his hair, she rested her head against his and closed her eyes as he held her close for a moment; Paul gently pushed her away and looked at Amelia concerned. 

"Nothing is going to happen to you," Paul whispering cupping her face, fear suddenly flooded his veins as he realised that he could lose her; he knew that she had a destiny but she had never spoken to him about it and it was starting to worry him.

Alicia grinned cuddling into Embry's side, she closed her eyes content as the film played on the screen before them; she knew that he was worried about the vision that Amelia had but there was little they could do until the older brunette understood it. 

"So what do you want to do for lunch?" Alicia asked looking up at her boyfriend, she smiled up at him while he watched her for a moment; he brushed some hair from her face as he watched her closely. 

Alicia stared at him for a moment wondering why he seemed sad, she tilted her head confused; she had a feeling that she knew what he wanted. 

"I need to know about your destiny," Embry said making the brunette stare at him. 

This wasn't the first time that he had asked about it, she knew that Paul and Leah had also asked about the destiny that shadowed their lives; however Amelia and Aiden had refused to talk about it as if accepting that it was going to happen. 

"Please Ali, I need to know what is coming so that I can help you," Embry pleaded with her, the brunette stare at him before she shook her head; she didn't need protecting and nothing would stop what was coming for them, she had known since she became a witch that this was coming for her. 

"We are the Charmed Ones, we fight evil for a living; however I have known for years that we would be called upon to fight the greatest evil that the world has ever known," Alicia explained softly making her boyfriend nod his head as he listened to what she had to say. 

Alicia sighed running a hand through her hair, she knew that he had little idea of how big the magical world actually was.

"So this great evil will you defeat it?" Embry asked softly looking at his imprint, that they would only have so much information about what was coming; but he hoped that it meant they knew what would happen afterwards. 

Alicia looked at her boyfriend sadly, she knew that now she was being honest with him about the destiny that controlled her life that there was no stopping now. 

"Only after a personal sacrifice," Alicia replied making Embry stare at her, he didn't like the sound of that and he hoped that it didn't mean what he though it meant; he suddenly felt sick at the thought that he could lose Alicia. 

"What personal sacrifice?" Embry asked making Alicia shrug, she had always thought that the sacrifice would be their lives; however she didn't want to tell her boyfriend that there was a chance that she could die, he would become over protective of her if she did. 

"We don't know... all we know is that we will have to face the Source of All Evil and that there will be a battle that the magical world has never seen," Alicia whispered watching her boyfriend, she tilted her head as she watched him; he nodded his head as he thought about what this could mean.

Leah furrowed her brow following her boyfriend into the shop; he offered her a reassuring smile before he moved about collecting the ingredients that he needed to stock up on in case they needed to make potions. 

"I've never been anywhere like this before," Leah whispered looking around in awe of the shop and at some of the more interesting things that lay around. 

Aiden nodded his head collecting what he needed, while things had been quiet lately it was better to be safe than sorry. 

"Just be careful what you touch," Aiden warned looking at his girlfriend of five months before moving to collect some of the things that he needed. 

Leah nodded her head worried why he had said that before the shopkeeper appeared and called out to the couple; Aiden paused as he turned his attention to the elderly man that approached them. 

"Master Kwan, how can I help you?" Aiden asked looking at the former Zen master; he knew that he wouldn't have stopped him unless it was important. 

The elderly Chinese man stared at him for a moment before he placed a piece of paper into Aiden's hand, he nodded at him before walking away. 

Aiden bit his lip nervously as he looked down at the piece of paper while Leah watched him curiously; he hadn't been expecting this at all. 

"What is it?" Leah asked curiously while Aiden looked at the piece of paper, he quickly put it into his pocket and turned to face his girlfriend; she looked at him concerned wondering what he had been given. 

"It's for Amelia, she's being summoned by the shaman," Aiden replied nervously, Leah looked at him concerned wondering why Amelia had been summoned by a shaman; she had been reading up on the magical world a lot recently and Amelia wouldn't have been summoned unless it was important. 

"Why would a shaman summon her?" Leah asked softly as Aiden quickly collected everything that he needed; the sooner that he gave the letter to Amelia, the better. 

"I don't know..." Aiden murmured walking towards the till so that he could pay for his items so that he could take Amelia the note so that she could go. 

Leah licked her lips knowing that Paul wasn't going to like the idea of his girlfriend being summoned by a shaman; he was already worried about her lack of sleep and the vision that she'd had. 

Leah sighed hoping that the shaman might be able to shed some light onto what Amelia had seen in her visions, they still needed answers about what was coming for them.
