CHARMED: THE NEXT GENERATION (BOOK 3)

CHAPTER 17: GENIE HUNT PART 2

DIANA P. O. V
I sat on the couch in the attic when margo rainbow teleported in. I stood up.

"Did she do it?" I asked her.

"Yup." She handed me the paper. "She did a really good job. She could totally be the next Louie Va Dinci."

I pushed my eyebrows together. "You mean Leonardo Da Vinci?"

"Uh, no i'm pretty sure his name is Louie Va Dinci." She nodded her head as I sighed.

"Whatever." I responded.

I looked down at the paper to see that Margo was right. The drawing was very good. Maya has some skills. I would tell her that if she wasn't such a bitch.

I stood up from the couch and got onto my knees. I waved my hand conjuring a brown wooden table with a map on it and also on the table was a blue push pin.

"What are you doing?" Margo asked.

"I'm locating." I responded. I stared at the photo one last good time before picking up the push pin and closing my eyes.

I began to feel my arm move. I placed down the push pin down on the map.

I opened my eyes and looked at Margo. "Got her."
==============================================================================
PAM P. O. V
I threw a glass cup towards Ryder making him duck. We were in the attic.

"I don't understand!" I angrily shouted. "I have twice the wand power and Charmed power. Why can't I locate that stupid genie!"

Ryder slowly stood back up with his hands in the air. "Pam calm down." He responded. "I bet you the Halliwells are looking for a way to find her."

"Tell me what makes them so special?!" I asked. "Why would they be able to find her and I can't?!"

Ryder looked down at the floor. He didn't know what to say.

"Exactly what I thought." I said. "Tell Logan to get over to their manor and see what their up too." I turned around and walked out of the attic.
==============================================================================
DIANA P. O. V
Everyone gathered in the living room. Theo, Vashon, and Maya sat on the couch and Blake sat on the arm while Sam sat on the other. Sitting on the two chairs were Margo and Christina. Amelia stood behind the couch next to Priscilla as Eddie and I stood in front of everyone.

"For those who don't know, there is a genie hybrid that Pam wants her hands on." I explained. "I was able to track her location."

"So what are we waiting for?" Blake asked. "Let's go."

"Hold on now." Eddie added. "We all aren't going." He said making everyone push their eyebrows together.

"Why not?" Christina asked.

"We don't wanna scare the girl by having a group of people." I responded. "That's why i'm only picking the people who I think is mature for this mission."

The team began to look at each other wondering who I would pick. "The people coming with Eddie and I are Christina and Theo."

Everyone seemed to be okay with my decision expect for Vashon. He stood up from the couch. "What?!"

I raised my eyebrows. "Problem Vashon?"

"Yes Diana." He said. "There is a huge problem. This whole badass thing was okay at first since Dustin was killed but it's been like four days now. It's old news. That's why i'm going with you guys on this genie hunt because you have NO control over me." He folded his arms.

Awkward silence began to fill the air. "Blake." I simply said.

"Yeah..?" He responded.

"Come here for a sec." I told him. He stood up from the couch and walked over to me. "Turn around." I added.

He pushed his eyebrows together as he faced everyone. I grabbed his wrist from behind and closed one eye as I began aiming. I made Blake flick his hands and Vashon went flying with an explosion.
==============================================================================
EDDIE P. O. V
I can tell the team was getting annoyed with Diana. She fights and bickers more with them than we do with Pam. Besides me nobody else in the house is as strong as Diana making it a death sentence for anyone who stood up to her.

"Now as I was saying." Diana said as Vashon limped back over to the couch.

Blake walked back over to his seat.

"Since most of you can't follow simple instructions." She said placing her eyes on Margo and Sam referring to the Dustin incident. Maya rolled her eyes.

"When missions occur I will only be picking some people to come until I feel like we're ready as a team." Diana said. "Now Christina, Theo. Let's go find a genie."
==============================================================================
The four of us orbed into a cave that had been pushed back into a mountain. The genie sat on a boulder with her back turned towards us. She wore a red genie outfit with her long medium brown hair was pulled into a ponytail. She had been crying.

"Uh excuse me." Christina said causing the genie to quickly turn around and stand up.

In her hand was her red lamp which she then placed onto the floor. She jumped into her battle stance.

Christina, Theo, and I backed up but Diana remained in her position. She then took a few steps towards the genie with her hands in the air.

"Look we don't wanna hurt you." Diana said.

"Yeah right. Who doesn't want wishing magic?" She asked.

"We don't." Christina responded. "We're here to rescue you from astral Pam. The dyed blonde." Christina pushed her eyebrows together. "It would of looked better if she dyed it a salmon color or maybe blue at the ends so it can make her skin tone pop."

"Christina." Diana simply said without taking her eyes off the genie.

"Sorry i'll shut up now." Christina responded.

"Look if Pam wants you she won't stop until she gets you." Theo told her.

The genie pushed her eyebrows together as she remained in her battle stance. "Why would you go up against her for me?"

I smiled. "It's kinda what we do."

"We're not going to force you to come with us." Diana told her. "If you feel like you can protect yourself then by all means stay."

"Or you could come with us." Theo added.

The genie clenched her eyes closed and sighed thinking about what she should do. She finally opened her eyes and nodded her head.

"Smart choice." Diana said. "What's your name?"

"Annie." She responded. "Annie Parish."
