Chapter 5 - Chelsea

Chapter Five

Chelsea

"Who are you and what makes you think that you can fix this?" Rachael says rudely.  The man who spoke raises his eyebrows at Rachael.

"Well aren't you just a charming young lady."  He shakes his head before continuing.  "I am Benson and Lea requested our help to save your cute little city."  Rachael looks him over suspiciously. 

"That still doesn't answer my question of how exactly you are going to save it."  She raises her eyebrows with a smirk on her lips.

"Hah, child you think you are clever and you also think that you know a lot more than you actually do so do us all a favour and close that pretty little mouth of yours."  Rachael's face goes from smug to shocked in a second, I can't help but smirk myself, it's good to see someone other than Maddie give Rachael some stick.  "With me as most of you in here know are my family.  My eldest daughter here is Rose, she has the ability to step inside of someone and see what they see, hear what they hear, what they smell and also what they think.  She can know in the ins and outs of someone's entire life within an hour."  Rachael gives a very quick impressed expression before turning it back into a scowl.  "Next to her is her partner Casper, he has the ability to manipulate someone into telling him anything he wants to hear, let's just say there's no point in lying to him."  Rachael looks down at the little girl standing next to Benson, I can't remember any of their names which is bad considering I only met them the other day.  "The girl you are currently staring at is my youngest child, she is called Hope as you can see she is stunning and also very cute."  I notice Rose roll her eyes and stare at the ground, daddy issues?  "Hope has the ability to analyse a situation, problem, person or anything in fact and know what is wrong with it.  She can then figure out what needs to be done to better the situation, she points out the dangers."  Benson pulls Hope into a hug and ruffles her hair making her giggle.  "My clever little girl."  Rachael steps back as she catches eyes with Benson's son, I laugh to myself as her cheeks blush, her eyes roaming hungrily over his body.  "This young man is my son Leo, his ability is very similar to Casper's, Leo can manipulate anyone into doing anything that he wants.  If there is something we need, he will get it."  Rachael is silent listening to Benson as he shows off how amazing his family is, her expression is giving nothing away.  "So this is my family and that is how we plan to save your city."  He gives Rachael a winning grin before stepping forward heading towards Lea.

"Interesting, so what can you do Benson?"  Rachael bites back not admitting to defeat, everyone lets out an aggravated sigh, can't she just give up?  Benson is standing right next to her, he peers down locking eyes with her.

"I am like Lea, I have many powers and I am probably the second strongest in this room so if I were you I would back off and shut up."  Benson stares deeply into Rachael's eyes.

"That is enough Benson, you do not get to come marching into this house in my city throwing threats about as you please.  I admit some of it Rachael did deserve but you are taking it too far and you are moving your concentration away from the matter at hand."  Benson looks at Lea and reluctantly nods his head.  "And for your information Benson, you are not the second strongest person in this room."  His face darkens as he scans the room before his eyes lay on Lea once again.

"Who is this room is stronger than me?  There are normal witches with one main power and very little of anything else, there are weak, brittle humans and a baby."  Benson laughs loudly Mocking Lea, pushing his luck. 

"I would stop there if I were you Benson.  There is someone in this room who I have brought up and trained to be nearly as strong as me and one day they will be stronger than me.  I trust this person with my life and I believe in them, if you have a problem with that then I suggest you keep it to yourself."  Benson's expression is tight, he says nothing looking down at the ground.  The room falls silent, everyone is trying to figure out who Lea means.  Hope is the first to make a move, she walks into the kitchen and stands next to the table, she isn't quite tall enough to reach Willow.  Lea looks over at Maddie but says nothing, a second later Maddie holds her hand out and Hope levitates into the air hovering above Willow.
