The Power of Three [Twilight/Charmed]

Part Two - Chapter Twenty-Four: Hints of the Future

"Okay what is going on?" Amelia asked orbing into the attic with Aiden while Alicia worked through the Book of Shadows; she glanced at her siblings before she continued what she was doing.

Aiden bit his lip looking at Amelia, he knew that she wasn't going to be happy when she learnt why she had been dragged from her first meeting with Paul's father.

"Demon attack," Alicia muttered finally finding what she was looking for, she swallowed as she read the page as her siblings moved to join her; they paused as they looked at the title of the page about Parasite Demons.

"We so don't need this right now," Amelia murmured running a hand through her hair, this couldn't be good especially when they were due to go up against the Volturi in a matter of days.

Aiden nodded his head, they needed all of their energy for the coming confrontation and now they had to deal with this; he couldn't believe that the demons couldn't just give them a break.

Before any of the siblings could react, they found themselves thrown to the floor by a blast from behind as a demon appeared in the attic; he had been sent to check out the witches to see how powerful they were.

Amelia groaned pushing herself up, she looked at the Parasite Demon that was stood over Aiden with a hand raised to drain him; she shook her head trying to ignore the ringing in her ears.

"Aiden," Leah called hurrying towards her fallen fiancé as Amelia flicked her hands and slammed the demon with telekinesis to push him away from Aiden before he could drain his powers.

Alicia produced an energy ball as she glared at the demon; she hated ones that thought that they could get the drop on them like that.

"I'm okay," Aiden said rubbing the back of his head when Alicia threw the energy ball at the demon who faded out before appearing by Amelia; the brunette swallowed knowing that she didn't just have herself to think about anymore but the baby that she was carrying.

"I have waited a long time to have a charmed one," the demon mused smirking at the brunette making Amelia roll her eyes knowing that she had to act quickly before she found herself in big trouble. Amelia was sure that this was just a sign of things to come, the demons would keep coming especially if the future meant that they had to deal with a greater evil in the world.

Amelia jerked her hands at the same time that Alicia launched an energy ball from behind causing the demon to explode; the blast knocked everyone away from where the demon had been standing.

Amelia groaned as she carefully picked herself up, she hissed in pain before noticing that she had a piece of wooden furniture buried in her side; she cursed knowing that this was going to cause a few problems.

"Is everyone okay?" Aiden asked helping Leah to her feet, she gave him a small smile before they noticed that Amelia had been injured while Alicia was carefully pulling herself out from under all the furniture that she had been buried under.

"Lia," Aiden shouted hurrying to his sister's side, she had been closer to the blast than the others and should have expected this even if it had been a last minute plan.

Leah carefully pulled the wooden stake out of Amelia's side while Aiden prepared to heal her; however the moment the wood was removed the injury quickly healed itself up in a blue light making Amelia stare while Leah looked confused.

"The last time that I saw something like that was when Aunt Piper was pregnant with Wyatt," Aiden whispered in awe staring at his sister, he didn't know what to think if she was pregnant.

Amelia deserved to be happy and Aiden knew it, he had stolen away her first chance at becoming a mother with his own selfish actions and now she had been given a second chance so it seemed.

Leah paused staring down at Amelia as she carefully moved to sit up, she pressed a hand to where the injury had been and smiled now feeling any pain; she peeked at Leah knowing the she-wolf could hear a heartbeat.

"You're pregnant," Leah squealed excitedly before she hugged Amelia in excitement, she knew that Paul would be thrilled at the news and she wondered how long the brunette had known that she was expecting.

Aiden and Alicia stared at the sister who grinned as she nodded her head confirming what Leah had said, she knew that this was a shock for them but she had no intentions of stopping her duties as a witch.

"Why didn't you say something?" Aiden whispered a little upset about the fact that she hadn't told him and he worried that it was because of what had happened last time; he didn't want to lose his sister again over something like this.

Aiden hated himself for what he had done but the thought of being an uncle now excited him, he loved the idea of Amelia becoming a mother, it would suit her perfectly.

"I only found out yesterday after the dinner, Paul noticed the heartbeat," Amelia replied shrugging as Alicia moved to hug her sister, she knew how much this meant to her older sister and she was happy for her.

Watching his two younger sisters hug, Aiden swallowed knowing that this changed things for the Volturi confrontation; he wasn't about to lose his future niece or nephew over this.

"I'm not staying behind for the Volturi confrontation... I've already talked about this with Paul and I will continue by duties just like aunt Piper did," Amelia insisted knowing what her brother was thinking, it wasn't possible for her to back out now even if she was pregnant; they needed the Power of Three for this confrontation.

Pursing his lips as he waited for the demon to return from his simple task, he wondered if this set of Charmed ones were as capable as the last; he had heard a lot about them and he knew they fought between themselves a lot.

The Source frowned knowing that he had waited a long time for his return, the Halliwells had defeated him without any problems even after what he had done to Prue and now he had to deal with the Matthews.

The sound of his advisor entering the room made the Source look up, he frowned at how nervous the demon looked and he had a feeling that he knew what he was going to hear.

"The Parasite Demon failed my lord," the advisor announced ducking his head frightened of his master would react, his master wouldn't be pleased with this news; everything pointed to these new Charmed ones being his destruction and he wasn't about to allow that to happen.

The Source had waited a long time to return, he had planned it out carefully and while he was still weak he was vulnerable to being destroyed by the three witches.

"They are more powerful than we expected," the Source mused turning to look at the advisor who shivered watching the cold brown eyes of his master focus on him; the demon frowned wondering why none of his men had succeeded yet.

"Send someone to spy on them... my time is drawing near and we must be prepared," the Source ordered dismissing the advisor before he moved to his desk, he hoped that the oracle could give him some good news about his campaign.

The last thing that he wanted was for his final plan to fail before he even had a chance.
