Witch Sister Three and TMNT *EDITING*

14- Finally Free... Or Are We (Caitlyn)

Damn it Morgan, why do you have to do stuff that gets you in trouble when Kylee's already mad at us… I thought as I started to walk back to our shared room, seeing as there's only four rooms total and one is Uncle Wyatt's already. Kylee got great aunt Phoebe's old room, Becca got great aunt Paige's room, while Mo and I were stuck with the guest room. I think my powers wanted something else though, because I found myself being orbed to the basement.

"Thank you for my new power." My voice said, although I hadn’t directed my brain to say anything at all.  I turned towards the Shadow, my confusion rising. Wait, this isn’t right at all!!

"Caitlyn, use your powers to kill your sisters." the Shadow instructed in his evil voice.  I could only imagine the grin on his face as he said this.

I stumbled back, momentarily coming back to myself. "No! I can't, I won't!" I almost yelled, but fear filled my voice, controlling my tone to my frustration.  I couldn’t show him how afraid I really was.

"You’re too weak to fight me." he chuckled darkly, and I felt as if someone took control of my body, leaving only my mind for me to control.

"Uncle Wyatt, I think you should get the electricity checked too... One that WON'T attack us." Morgan yelled as she walked in the door, slamming it shut in her careless way.  I instantly remember Grams told me she said almost the exact same thing when great aunt Phoebe was taken over by the Shadow, she was shocked...

"Home so soon dear sister?" I, or rather my voice, asked.

She walked over to the couch I was at, tossing her hair over her shoulder and frowning at me. "Caitlyn, you ok?" she asked, worry starting to coat her face.

"Better than ok, why?" I replied sweetly with a grin that I knew didn’t belong on my face.

"I- It's just you never get back to normal so soon after crying the way you were…" Mo said, her eyebrows furrowing a little.

I got up and walked to her. "I need to grow up... Let's go visit the turtles." I stated.

"What!? Ok Caitlyn, you always listen to Kylee after she freaks like that." Morgan argued, crossing her arms.  “You leave the reckless behavior to me, remember?  Why do you feel so off?!”

Please figure it out Morgs!! I screamed mentally.

"Yeah well, I'm not in the mood to soothe Kylee's ego." I growled.  “It’s like you said, she over-reacted.  She’ll get over it.  In the meantime, I want to have fun!”  

Morgan looked shocked, hurt, and worried before I walked away. I sensed where Kylee was then and orbed to her room. "Kylee, I-" I began.

"I told you before not to orb in my room, Caitlyn Angelina Halliwell" she interrupted, laying on her back and not even bothering to raise her head to acknowledge my presence.

I growled low, feeling my anger level rise dangerously. Kylee please, please… you know me better than anyone I need you to... That's it, my power!' I realized with hope.

"Ya know Kylee, I'm sick of you treating me like a child that can't do anything alone!" the Shadow made me spit. My sister practically threw down the book she was reading, stood up, and was already steaming with rage. Her eyes were burning into me, and I remembered how mad she was earlier. I didn't, under any circumstances, want that to happen again

"How. Else. Do. You. Expect me. To respond?" she said through her teeth.  “All you ever do is act like a child!  So far as I’ve seen, you can’t do anything alone!”

Kylee don't listen to that it's the Shadow, he's controlling everything aside from my mind! Please, I need help; you still have the Power Of Three! I sent telepathically. I saw her eyes widen. Kylee if you don't believe me use your powers, freeze me. We both know if evil controls us you can freeze us. I pressed, and she did just that. I felt my body tense up on its own accord, like muscles clenching but I couldn’t unclench them no matter how much I tried.

Let me just say that it's weird being frozen & sadly I feel sorry for demons, I feel so vulnerable!

Kylee screamed for everyone else, and upon entering the demon within me fought even harder.  "LET ME OUT OF THIS!!" the Shadow yelled at my family. Once I unfroze, I found myself in a crystal cage with the crystals Uncle Wyatt has. It was like this for an hour, and Becca was only half way through the Book of Shadows.  The Shadow made a lot of threats and tried several times to break free, but it was useless.  Eventually, he just let me sit in the cage glaring at my family.  Morgan started making faces and acting goofy, while Kylee just stared at me with her arms crossed and face tied up in a scowl.  What we don't want demons taking it- Any closer… I sent to everyone. Uncle Wyatt sighed, meaning n-

"I got it!" Becca exclaimed and my other two sisters were instantly by her side.

"Just like grandma's story…" Kylee whispered.

"It even has our last name!" Morgan said, shocked. They went through the kitchen so they could get to the basement, yet I could hear the spell clear as day.

"I am light, I am one too strong to fight. Return to dark where shadows dwell, you cannot have this Halliwell. Go away and leave my sight, and take with you this endless night." they chanted together, their voices flowing together harmonically.  We were born to be witches, that much was obvious.

I felt the evil that the Shadow put in me vanish and immediately slumped forward, breathing hard in relief. Thank you for telling us that story, Grams…' I thought as two of my sisters came back to let me out of the crystal cage.

"Are we sure Caitlyn's all better? Do you feel the Shadow inside Caitlyn, the Shadow taking control? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Morgan cackled, throwing her head back and arching her back for effect.

"That's NOT funny Morgan! Where's Kylee?" I asked, smacking my sister.  She pouted, rubbing her arm.

"Basement. She said she needed to do something." Becca answered, and I immediately made my way towards the basement.

"Kylee, you ok?" I asked carefully, walking down the steps.

"Never attack my sister again!" I heard her say, "I'll vanquish you again if you EVER come back, you have my word." she finished.

I walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "You ok sis?"

"Yeah Caitlyn... just getting rid of some personal demons." she sighed, her head falling a little.

"Was the Shadow...?" I tried to ask, but my fear won over my voice, making it die a little.  I swallowed.  "Was he Nightmare?" I finally managed.

Again she sighed. "Yeah. Look Caitlyn, I'm sorry for my outburst, I just want you and Morgan safe."

"I know you do Kylee, and I really am sorry about not listening... If today taught us anything it's we gotta stick together." I told her with a smile.

"Couldn't of said it better myself, lil’ sister" she replied.

We're finally free of our fears... I hope.
