The Power of Three [Twilight/Charmed]

Part Three - Chapter Twenty-One: Confrontations

The Source could only laugh as the six witches dived out of the way as the fighting took off in the throne room, he had little doubt that this was an invasion and that many would be lost today. 

Amelia ducked behind a pillar and cursed, she had not expected this to happen and she could only hope that this wasn't going to end in tons of deaths; she wanted nothing more than to make it out of this alive. 

Blasting a demon, Amelia peeked out from behind her hiding place knowing that all of the demons needed to be destroyed if they were going to take down the Source. 

She didn't want to think what might be happening outside of this room but Amelia hoped that everyone would make it out of this alive; she didn't want to think of how many friends they would be burying after this battle. 

Peeking over at Alicia, the two sisters shared a nod before they divided out of their hiding spaces and blasted the demons that got in their way; the room seemed filled with them and more appearing in an attempt to protect the Source. 

Watching the scene play out in front of him, the Source couldn't help but grin knowing that there was nothing more that he wanted than to destroy the Warren line. 

Not only would the witches in this room die but he would ensure that none of their children would survive; he would have them hunted down and slaughter so the Power of Three could never return to the world. 

Aiden deflection a fire ball towards the Source, he glared at the being that had taken the form of Aro; he wasn't going to let the monster get away with any of this and the sooner that they could deal with the Source.

Moving along the corridor, Paul ducked out of the way as a fireball was thrown at him and he cursed knowing that this wasn't going how he had expected; they were losing numbers fast and he hoped Amelia was faring better. 

Staring down at yet another body that he had come across, Paul swallowed knowing that this couldn't carry on and if the Source wasn't destroyed soon then there would be no hope at all. 

Moving past the body of Amun, Paul paused not even surprised that Kebi had died around the same time as her mate; he stared at the two of them for a moment knowing that there was nothing that he could do for them now. 

"This can't carry on," Embry muttered with a shake of his head, he didn't like this and the sooner that they were away from here the better; he wanted to head towards the throne room and help out there. 

The castle meant little to them if they couldn't destroy the Source and Embry couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen. 

Paul nodded his head, he moved away from the bodies knowing that if they were successful then they would be able to deal with them later; it wasn't going to be easy to bury everyone now when the battle was still going on. 

The two shape-shifters moved further down the corridor when there was a rumbling sound, they both paused wondering what was going on before there was a large crashing sound behind them. 

"Watch out," Embry shouted turning round just in time to see a demon launching something at him and Paul, they both dived out of the way as the demon laughed and everything seemed to go dark around them. 

The demon took a couple of steps back as the ceiling started to cave in, he didn't miss the sight of only one of the wolves making it to safety.

"So you finally think you have me cornered," the Source mused watching the six witches, he stepped down from his throne and moved to the middle of the room; he wasn't going to just sit around and die. 

Amelia swallowed as blood trickled down the side of her face, she felt a little dizzy and she was just glad that they had all made it through that battle alive; she couldn't imagine what was going to happen next. 

"You know why we are here," Piper mused moving to stand in her position, they had never done this before and she knew that there was a great risk with what they were about to do. 

The last thing any of them wanted to do was fail, they couldn't allow the Source to escape and they hoped that the spell that they would use would be strong enough to defeat him. 

The Source didn't reply instead turned in a circle to look at each of the witches as they formed a circle around him; he wouldn't deny that he was impressed that they had all made it this far during the battle. 

Aiden eyed the Source, he couldn't shake the feeling that the monster had one last trick up his sleeve and he really didn't wish to find out what that was; he steadied himself prepared for the finale. 

"You really think that the six of you can destroy me?" the Source mused, he was almost amused how confident they were and he knew that they were in for a surprise; he wasn't going to die without a fight and he was sure they wouldn't see this coming. 

He quickly produced an energy ball and prepared to fight his way out of this, the Source had planned all of this carefully and he didn't care if he lost the castle; he would win this war. 

Acting quickly, the six witches moved to create an energy circle that would trap the Source so that he wouldn't get the chance to escape; they had never thought that they would have to use this much power.

The energy in the room seemed to crackle and everyone was on edge as they focused on what they were about to do; they couldn't let anything distract them now, they all took a deep breath readying themselves. 

"Prudence, Penelope, Patricia, Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura and Grace. Warren witches stand strong beside us, vanquish this evil from time and space," the six witches chanted, focusing on the energy that they created as the Source started to laugh from the centre of it all. 

The charge between the six witches seemed to increase the longer that they chanted and the Source continued to laugh before there was a crackle in the air. 

The six witches watched as slowly Aro's body was destroyed by the energy that was passing through the room and the Source was forced to stand before them in his original form. 

The Source seemed to gasp for air and a moment later he completely disappeared from sight, allowing the energy in the room to die down and everyone stood frozen wondering if it was over. 

"He's gone?" Alicia whispered not sure if she truly believed it, it all seemed so easy and she felt relief fill her as Paige nodded her head not believing it herself. 

Slowly stepping forward towards the ash pile that had been the Source, Amelia tried to ease her pounding heart as she realised that they had done it the Source had been defeated. 

The sound of crackling appeared by the doors and before anyone had a chance to react, the Source reappeared and blasted the six witches across the room. 

He laughed pleased that they hadn't been able to succeed and he was still alive, the Source was only disappointed that he had lost the body that he had been using. 

"Oh my God," Amelia whispered staring at the Source, she had no idea what they were going to do now and she hoped that one of the others had a plan that would allow them to destroy him now.
