Charmed: The Next Generation

Chapter 4

When I woke up, I had no idea where I was. The room was unfamiliar, as was the bed I was lying in. I sat up quickly, and began looking around the room. It  wasn't until a cold breeze from an open window on the far side of the room made me shiver, that I realised I was naked. I was naked, in an unfamiliar room, in an unfamiliar bed, and I had no idea where I was. I slumped back down, my head hitting the pillows hard. I  was trying to recall what had happened last night, but it was a complete blank. All I could remember was leaving the house to go and follow Chris, Wyatt and P.J. I could remember the warlocks turning up, but after that, nothing. With a heavy sigh, I rolled over in bed, letting out a scream when I came face to face to face with the sleeping boy next to me.

The guy jolted awake when he heard me scream, sitting up abruptly, just as I had done a few minutes earlier. He looked at me, a shocked and slightly angry look on his face, that turned to complete surprise when he saw my naked body.

"Whoah." He said. I quickly pulled the covers up to my chin, holding them up as I sat up.

After getting himself together, the guy, who was also naked, turned to me, his face completely serious. "Who are you, and why are you in my bed?"

"Excuse me." I snapped. "I have no idea why I'm here. I don't even know who you are!"

The guy got out of the bed and walked over to a pile of clothes on the floor. I closed me eyes, to avoid seeing anything I shouldn't.

"You can open them now." He said after a moment. "I'm decent."

Cautiously, I opened my eyes to see him standing in the middle of the room in nothing but a pair of boxer. I suppose it would have to do for now.

"Now...who are you?" asked the boy, narrowing his eyes at me.

"I'm not saying until you do." I said, shaking my head. "I have no idea where I am. Fr all I know, you could have kidnapped me."

The guy snorted. "Please. I have no idea why this happened either. All I know is that you're in my room." When I sat there silently, offering no clues as to who I was, he sighed. "Fine. I'm David Rowe. Happy! Now who are you?"

I furrowed my brow. Rowe. That name sounded familiar. That's when it hit me. Rowe was the name of a warlock family that my mother and aunts had encountered years ago. They were the evil power of three, and the most powerful warlock family in existence.

"You're a warlock!" I hissed. Revealing that was probably a mistake, but considering I was naked, and in the bed of a warlock, I think i had every right to freak out.

David looked surprised. "How - how did you know?"

"Reconignise the name."  I spat. His name, and the fact he was a warlock seemed to trigger something from the night before. Chris had been there, so had Wyatt, and...PJ. The half witch, half cupid. I knew exactly what happened. Before David could speak, I began to chant.

"Memory that's gone by the power of love, un-cloud our minds so we know what it was."
