Chapter 9

"LEO! Oh my god! Oh my god!" Phoebe yelled as she watched her husband falling to the ground.

"Look he's slowing down." Paige pointed out with a breath of relief, as she watched her brother-in-law slowly fall to the earth and land on his feet gently.

"Way to go Kael." Voldemort said proudly.

"But I didn't do it." Kael said with a confused look.

"If you didn't do it then who did?" Voldemort asked confused.

"It would seem that Ben did it." Kael said noticing the proud smile on the toddler's face.

"But how?" Paige asked curious, since her nephew had never done something like this before.

"Ben, how did you do that?" Piper asked her son.

"Like Kael." He said as though his mother should have known what he was talking about.

"Like Kael what?" Piper asked even more confused than before.

"Like Kael. We fly again now?" Ben asked obviously bored that no one knew what he was talking about.

"What does he mean 'like Kael'?" Paige asked, looking at the teenager.

"Like the broom, when I made it fly with no one on it. That must be what he's talking about. Leo what happened?" Kael asked as the man walked up to them after Phoebe had finally let him go.

"I lost control and slipped." Leo explained to the group.

"It happens to all of us our first time." Lily laughed as she joined the group.

"Well most of us anyways. You can stop looking smug now." Aliandra told her boyfriend when he started looking proud of himself.

"Allie, be nice." Alecto said, trying to hide her smile that the young couple.

"Yes mum." Aliandra said sticking her tongue out at her boyfriend when her mother wasn't looking.

"Mama fly!" Ben said, his face lit up as the idea came to him.

"No thank you. Mama's going to keep her feet on the ground." Piper said, as Kael turned and looked at her, considering Ben's request.

"What's the matter, Big Bad Piper is scared of a little broom." Paige challenge her older sister.

"You don't have to go alone you know." Kael replied fighting to keep the smile off of his face.

"You should try it, it was kinda fun." Phoebe said, knowing that her sister would be unable to avoid a challenge.

"Fine, Kael will you take me for a ride?" Piper asked, knowing that her sisters had issued a challenge and that she couldn't chicken out.

"Sure." And with that Kael mounted the broom and waited for Piper to hold on to him before kicking off of the ground. After flying for a few minutes and noting that Piper's grip never wavered. "You okay back there?"

"Yeah. Thank you for last night with Ben." Piper said sincerely.

"Oh that was nothing. I didn't get to play with toys when I was younger so it was pretty fun for me too." Kael said, making sure that he was facing forwards so that Piper couldn't see what he was feeling.

"That's not what I meant, but thank you for that too. He was starting to get antsy. I was talking about when you pushed your dad and Cole way and protected him." Piper clarified, not sure if he misunderstood her on purpose or not.

"I didn't even know that I was doing anything." Kael repeated, wanting everyone to know that he wasn't aware of what he had been doing the night before.

"That's why I'm thanking you. You obviously care about him. And it's just as obvious that he looks up to you as his big brother." Piper said, smiling at the thought of her son possibly being like Kael when he was a teenager.

"Are you okay with that?" Kael asked insecurely.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Piper asked, wondering what the people he had been placed with had done to him to make him so unconfident and insignificant.

"You just met me. And you just got him back." Kael replied, hoping that those reasons were good enough to cover what he really felt about it.

"Well I know that you are like your dad and he is the closest thing that Cole has to a brother." Piper explained, picking up on the fact that Kael was hiding something.

"So does that make you my aunt?" Kael asked, hoping that he wasn't asking too much too soon from her.

"If you want me to be." Piper replied with a smile.

"Cool. You want to go back or fly some more?" Kael asked as they finished their third lap of the pitch.

"I think that you should land so Cole can have a try." Piper said, almost hoping that her husband wouldn't want to and then she could razz him some more.

"Sure." And with that Kael took the broom down nice and easy. Once on the ground he offered Piper his hand for her to get off. "Cole you want to try?"

"Yeah, I would never live it down if it didn't." Cole said smiling, knowing that if he didn't his wife would never let him hear the end of it.

"Got that right." Piper confirmed with a nod, smiling when her sisters and brother-in-law nodded as well.

After watching them take off and start a lap of the pitch Athena turned to Piper, "What did you and Kael talk about?"

"I thanked him for protecting Ben last night." Piper replied not wanting to tell everything just yet.

"And? You have had a smile on your face since before you landed." Athena pointed out to her new friend.

But Piper didn't answer, she just watched her husband whooping like a little boy and laughing with Kael as the race around and then landed next to them.

"Aunt Piper, you may have created a monster." Kael said with a smile, happy to finally have an aunt that wouldn't treat him like dirt.

"Meaning?" Piper asked, ignoring the shocked looks on her companions faces.

"Meaning Uncle Cole wants a broom." Kael laughed when Cole wrapped and arm around his shoulders and pretended to noogie him.

"We'll talk about it." Piper told her husband watching at Ben went over and began to wrestle with his father and 'big brother'.

"Aunt Piper?" Paige asked with a smile.

"Yup." Piper replied with a smirk.

"That explains the smile." Athena commented, with a smile of her own as she heard her son's laugh.

"Kael again?" Ben asked, when they three of them finally settled down and rejoined the group.

Kael looked at Piper for confirmation, and smiled when she nodded. "Go ahead."

"Let's go buddy." Kael said as he scooped Ben up into his arms and mounted the broom again.

"Yeah!" Ben cheered as he was lifted into Kael's arms and set in front of his big brother on the broom.

"Uncle Cole?" Piper asked smirking at her husband as the boys took off into the air.

"He asked if it would be okay as I was his dad's brother." Cole explained with a smile, knowing that his wife had been asked the same question he had.

"Well it's certainly been an interesting two days. Yesterday we got one nephew back from the dead and today we get another one." Phoebe said as she finally joined the conversation.

"You sure about that Pheebs?" Piper questioned, having not expected that from her younger sister.

"Why wouldn't he be our nephew too when we look at Tom as a brother too?" Phoebe questioned.

Just asking." Piper replied, raising her hands in surrender so that her sister didn't launch herself into defensive mode.

"Thank you." Voldemort said in a quiet voice.

"For what?" Phoebe asked confused.

"Saying I'm your brother." Voldemort clarified.

"You're welcome. So now that things are somewhat settled, I'm going to go talk to Kyle and let him know what is going on." Paige explained to the group.

"Which reminds me, why didn't he come with you yesterday?" Voldemort questioned, regardless of the fact that he didn't particularly like Kyle Brody.

"He was training a new whitelighter." Paige explained, completely missing Voldemort's dislike of Kyle.

"Well then if he's done have him join you when you come back." Voldemort offered politely.

"Piper I'm going to head home and pack, anything really important that you want?" Cole asked, turning the conversation off Kyle, since he disliked Kyle even more than Voldemort, as Paige orbed away.

"Just make sure that you remember Ben's stuff." Piper answered her husband.

"Okay, I'll be back shortly. I love you." Cole said giving her a quick kiss.

"Love you too." Piper replied, before he shimmered to the manor.

"Pack?" Phoebe questioned, having no idea what her sister and brother-in-law were talking about.

"Sorry Pheebs, with everything going on I forgot to tell you and Paige. Ben, Cole and I are staying here for a couple of weeks as a kinda vacation." Piper explained.

"If it's okay with my wife and your sister you, Leo, Paige and Kyle are more than welcome to join us as well." Voldemort offered, politely.

"It's alright with me. Piper?" Athena asked turning to the brunette.

"Talk to Leo and make sure that he's okay with it." Piper replied with a smile knowing that her family was not the only ones that needed a vacation, that in reality they all did after the last couple of weeks.

"You're sure?" Phoebe asked hesitantly, knowing that Piper would want to spend time reconnecting with her son.

"Yeah, I think that after everything we all deserve a vacation, not to mention spend time with our newly extended family." Piper smiled when she saw the smile form on Voldemort's face.

"Mama! Mama look!" Ben called from above them.

"What's he doing?" Phoebe asked, not really able to see what was happening.

"Please not what I think it is." Athena said, putting a hand on her chest as if to hold her heart in place yet again.

"I don't know what you think it is but Ben's steering while Kael holds him." Lily said, fighting to keep the smile off of her face as she thought of what her mother was going to do to her brother when he landed.

"Yes, and that's what I was hoping it wasn't. Piper breathe." Athena instructed noticing that she wasn't the only one about to panic.

"I'm fine, I trust Kael. After last night I don't think Kael will ever let anything happened to Ben." Piper replied, releasing the breathe she was holding as she spoke she remembered what she had witnessed the night before and was no longer worried about what could happen.

"Is it just me or does it feel like we've known each other for longer than just two days?" Athena asked the sisters.

"No it's definitely just you. I've felt that way since last night while we were talking." Piper replied.

"I felt it too but I didn't want to say anything to make anyone uncomfortable." Athena told them with a smile.

"Oh man are we in trouble now." Voldemort said, somewhat scared of the trouble that he could face from the four of them, five if you counted Alecto.

"What do you mean by that Tom?" Piper asked sweetly, yet warningly.

Voldemort visible swallowed. "Piper I think that I'm going to love having you around." Athena laughed at seeing her husband's reaction.

"Kael Thomas Ares Riddle you get down here this instant!" Aliandra yelled, startling the adults.

"Uh oh! Looks like someone is in trouble. Allie what happened?" Alecto questioned, as she moved to stand next to her daughter.

"Mister showoff decided to do a trick that could have killed himself let alone Ben." Aliandra ranted to her mother.

"Allie relax, I wasn't even the one steering." Kael said rolling his eyes at her as he lifted Ben off of the broom before getting off himself.

"That makes it worse." Aliandra snapped hitting him on the shoulder, before turning to Phoebe when she heard her laughing. "What's funny?"

"From everything that I know about Ben and Kael I think that the two of them are pretty close to invincible on their own and together actually are." Phoebe explained once she got her laughing under control.

"I agree but that doesn't mean that my heart wasn't in my throat." Piper added, making sure that the boys knew that this wasn't funny, as she spoke for both Athena and herself, as Athena still held her hand to her chest.

"I'm sorry mama, Aunt Piper, Allie. Next time I'll be more careful." Kael promised giving both Athena and Piper a hug.

"Thank you. Now do you think that we can take this inside?" Athena asked when her son released her.

"I agree, what else can we do to keep the boys occupied?" Piper asked as she watched as Kael when over and picked Ben up swinging him in the air.

"There is a pool if you want." Voldemort suggested looking at the boys fondly.

"I think that's a good idea. It will be fun for the boys and it might get Allie to relax." Athena said smiling along with her husband at the sight of her son finally having some fun in his life.

"I don't know about that, she likes being the boss." Kael commented and he put Ben down to brace himself for the hit he knew was coming.

"And I don't hear you complaining about that." Aliandra huffed at her boyfriend.

"I'm not, just stating fact. So let's go." Kael laughed.

"Yeah!" Ben cried as Kael lifting him up and put him on his shoulders and starting jumping and spinning as they made their way back to the house.

"It's good to see him having and playing without the weight of the world on his shoulders." Aliandra said the women and they followed the boys.

"Yes it is, him and Ben will be good for each other." Athena commented to Piper, unable to stop smiling as her son continued to laugh.

"That's for sure. But I have a question we don't have anything to swim in until Cole gets back." Piper said, looking at them confused.

"That is what magic is for." Athena smiled as the looks on their faces.

"Don't you guys have to worry about personal gain?" Upon a look from Voldemort, Phoebe laughs and Paige remembers the answer to her question. "Right sorry I forgot."

"It's okay I knew that one of you would forget." Voldemort laughed.

"Ha ha ha very funny. You thought that it would be me didn't you?" Piper teased, unable to hide her smirk when Voldemort got that busted looked on his face.

"Maybe, Cole nice to see you again." Voldemort said, changing the topic knowing that if he didn't Piper would continue to tease him mercilessly.

"What did I miss?" Cole asked, knowing that it was probably at the very least Piper razzing Voldemort.

"Nothing much. Our son's giving their mother's heartattacks, Piper threatening to kill me." Voldemort explained nonchalantly.

"So a typical day in our lives." Cole smirked as he ducked the smack that he was expecting from his wife.

"Sounds about right." Voldemort laughed as he ducked his own swipe from Athena.

"Okay knock it off you two. Let's get this stuff to our rooms and then we can join everyone else at the pool." Piper said, wanting to rejoin her son and nephew.

"Tipsy!" The elf appeared and bowed but before she could replied to her master he continued. "Could you please assist Piper and Cole get everything to their room and then lead them to the pool please?"

"Yes Master." Tipsy replied before levitating the luggage that Cole brought and lead them to their room.

"Leo and I are going to go and pack. We'll be back soon." Phoebe said before Leo wrapped his arms around her ready to orb to the manor.

"When you get back just call for Tipsy and she'll lead you to the pool." Athena replied before they could orbed out.

"That probably won't be a problem as Leo can orb pretty much anywhere." Voldemort explained as he and Athena continued to make their way to the pool.

"Leo orbs but what was that that Cole did?" Alecto questioned as they continued walking.

"That's called Shimmering." Leo explained as he walked with his arms around Phoebe.

"What's the difference?" Alecto asked, curious as to the powers of the newcomers at she knew that she would be spending time with in the future.

"Whitelighters orb and demons shimmer." Leo explained, smirking slightly when Alecto stopped dead in her tracks at the mention of Cole being a demon.

"What exactly is a Whitelighter?" asked Alecto as she finally regained her composer and began walking again.

"They're kinda of guardian angels for witches and future whitelighters." Phoebe explained, answering for her husband as she noticed him looking for a way to explain it.

"Do you have wizards in your branch of magic?" Alecto continued.

"Yes but not like Tom and Kael. We usually have witches on one side and demons and wizards etc on the other." Phoebe explained.

"Well actually our wizards are more on their own side. They do what they want when they want to make their life as relaxed as possible, their definition of perfect." Leo corrected.

"So in other words Dumbledore would be a perfect example of a wizard in your magic?" Alecto replied, linking the two in a way that the others hadn't have thought of yet.

"Now that you put it that way yes. Okay well the sooner that we leave the sooner we can get back." Phoebe said as they arrived at the pool, and with that they orbed out.

"My lord would it be alright if I left to go and get some of my own belonging?" Alecto asked, knowing that she didn't want to be separated from her daughter now that she found her and that her daughter wasn't going to want to be separated from her love.

"Of course." Voldemort replied, smiling as she turned an left quickly knowing that she would soon be back.

"Wow it got quiet all of a sudden." Lily said, speaking for the first time since they left the quidditch pitch.

"I'd say that's a bit of an understatement. What is he doing?" Severus questioned, looking at Kael and Ben in the pool.

"Who? Kael? He's having fun." Lily explained, barely keeping the 'duh' out of her voice.

"I see that. But I was actually referring to what they are doing in the pool." Severus replied, rolling his eyes.

"It's called playing tag love. You know something that we used to play." Lily returned smiling sweetly at him.

"Severus doesn't remember how to play." Voldemort taunted, knowing that Severus had become all about work after losing Lily.

"Oh really? Well we may have to correst that now won't we?" Lily tauned back as she slowly approached the unsuspecting man.

"Lily what are you doing?" Severus questioned backing away slightly at the look in her eye.

"Playing." Lily replied taking another step towards him, before giving him a slight push into the pool.

"Looks like Severus got a bath. Get tired of the greasy hair sis?" Kael called, as Severus came sputtering to the surface.

"Severus Snape don't even think about it!" Lily said backing away from the man in question as he jumped out of the pool and began to approach her.

"What shouldn't I think about Lily dear?" Severus questioned stacking towards her.

"Ahh!" Lily screamed as he scooped her up and threw her into the pool. "Kael Riddle this is so not funny." Lily yelled as she came to the surface and saw her brother laughing.

"If I can't laugh, what would you like me to do?" Kael questioned when he finally controlled laughing at his sister.

"Well don't just sit there, help me. This isn't what I meant. Put me down. Kael put me down." Lily yelled as he brother levitated her above the pool.

"What do you think Ben? Should I put her down?" Kael asked, looking at the toddler for the go ahead.

"Yeah!" Ben cheered knowing what Kael was planning on doing.

"Okay." Kael replied with a smirk in his sister's direction before dropping her into the water.

"Ahh! Kael Riddle you are in so much trouble!" lily yelled as she jumped out of the pool and began stacking towards her brother. "Uh what just happened?" Lily asked confused when she suddenly appeared at the end of the pool furthest from Kael.

"Looks like Ben wants you over here." Voldemort said with a smile knowing that Ben was returning the act that Kael had last night.

"What?" Lily questioned her father, looking back and forth between him and the laughing boys still in the pool.

"Ben just shimmered you away from Kael." Piper replied as she and Cole returned in time for them to see Ben shimmer her.

"Well now we know that it goes both ways." Cole replied with a smile as he watched his son laughing and having fun.

"Well that's not fair. Kael gets to pick on me but I can't fight back." Lily pouted.

"Oh sweetheart, life's not fair." Severus mocked, ducking the swipe he knew was coming his way.

"Fine be like that. I'll just get Kael back when Ben's not around then." Lily stated, with finality.

"Oh honey I don't think that's going to help much." Athena said trying not to laugh at the defeated look on Lily's face.

"Well that sounded like a challenge." Lily said, a thought appearing to her.

"Take it how you will, cause I don't think it's going to matter too much. You won't get me." Kael stated smugly.

"Here we go. Back to your cocky self." Aliandra stated rolling her eyes at his actions between her boyfriend and his sister.

"Should I be offended by that statement?" Kael asked, ducking the swipe that he knew she was going to take at him.

"Why? Was I lying?" Aliandra challenged, raising her eyebrow at him daring him to contradict her.

"I wasn't being cocky I was stating fact." Kael argued, sticking his tongue out when she rolled her eyes at him.

"Yes love I'm sure that you were." Aliandra said rolling her eyes as Kael stuck his tongue out at her.

"Do they remind you of anyone dear?" Athena said smiling at her husband.

"Why yes they do love." Voldemort said smiling back at her.

"Master! Mistress Bella is in need of your attention." Tipsy cried as she appeared in front of Voldemort.

"Aunt Bella!" At the mention of his aunt's name Kael reaches out and and senses his aunt. And when he does he jumps out of the pool and is out of the room before his father finishes his question. Voldemort follows him as fast as he can.

"Kael what's...Bella what happened?" Voldemort asked when he took in the sight of his bleeding friend.

"Dad I'll be right back." Kael said, his eyes flashing as he shimmered out.

"Kael wait. Damn it. What happened?" Voldemort questioned taking in the sight of his bleeding friend.

"Dumbledore attacked us as we were leaving Gringotts." Bella panted.

"Us?" Voldemort questioned wondering who else was with Bellatrix.

"Rudolphus and I." Bellatrix said, struggling to breathe.

"Bella, where is Rudolphus?" Athena asked, worried about what else the old coot had done to her friends.

"We got separated with all the curses flying around at us." Bellatrix replied, fighting to keep her voice even as her breathing became ragged.

"Where'd Kael go?" Athena demanded, scared as to what her impulsive son was about to do.

"I don't know. He just said that he'd be back." Voldemort replied, as he continued to inspect Bellatrix's wounds.

"What do you mean he said he'd be right back?" Athena asked, worried that Kael would try and get revenge for what was done to his godmother.

"Exactly that. When I got here he left go of Bella, said he'd be right back and left." Voldemort explained, knowing what his wife was thinking and shared her fear.

"Where would he have gone?" Athena asked as she began to panic.

"You don't think that he would go after Dumbledore do you?" Lily asked, voicing everyone's greatest fear.

"I don't think that Kael would be that stupid." Voldemort replied, hoping that he knew his son well enough to be right.

"Kael where did you go?" Aliandra asked, when she was the first to notice that he was back. But no one noticed that he was not alone.

"I had to get Rudolphus." Kael replied, nodding to the man lying on the ground next to him.

"Rudolphus are you alright?" Bellatrix asked, concerned for her husband.

"I've been better." Rudolphus replied, as he took in the sight of his wife and grew more concerned for her than himself and began to make his way towards her.

"I have one more stop to make." Kael said, before disappearing again.

"Now where the hell did he go?" Athena demanded, furious that her son had left again without answering any of her questions.

"What stop could he possibly have to make?" Aliandra asked, curious as to what her boyfriend was planning on doing.

"I would have thought you would be the first to answer that." Voldemort replied but stopped his train of thought as Leo and Phoebe orbed into the room. "Leo, a little healing please."

"What happened?" Phoebe asked as she watched her husband set about healing the injured woman in front of them.

"Dumbledore attacked them as they were leaving our bank." Voldemort explained, as he watched Bellatrix's wounds heal and Leo moved to Rudolphus.

"Why would he do that?" Phoebe asked, wondering what Dumbledore would be trying to achieve by this.

Kael returned with Madam Pomfrey, as he didn't know that Leo was back nor able to heal. "Because he could. He could make it look like Aunt Bella attacked first and he was the hero. Which would cause the aurors to attack her as well, and in the chance that she got away the public would demand that she be found." Kael explained disgusted at his former mentor.

"Poppy what are you doing here?" Athena asked, unsure as to why her son would bring the woman here.

"Harr...sorry Kael arrived in my office and asked if I still supported Albus after finding out what he had done to my friend and her son. Obviously I didn't and he asked if I would join him as his godmother was in need of a healer. But it seems he was mistaken." Poppy explained, looking at the prone woman still on the floor, not recognizing her.

"No, he wasn't, Bella did but Leo healed her before Kael returned with you." Athena explained.

"Bellatrix LeStrange is his godmother?" Poppy asked, shocked by what she just heard.

"One of them, Lily is the other." Athena explained smiling at her friend's expression.

"My word, Lily Potter..." Poppy gasped, noticing the woman for the first time.

"That's Lily Riddle now Madam Pomfrey." Lily replied, proudly.

"Poppy please. I thought you were dead." Poppy answered, still not believing her eyes.

"I was. But daddy found a way to bring me back." Lily explained proudly as she looked at her father.

"Poppy I realize that this is a lot to take in. So why don't you have a seat and we'll tell you the whole story." Athena said before leading the way to the couch. As the adults filled Poppy in Aliandra, Ben and Alecto entered the room. Ben ran straight to Kael and practically jumps into his arms hugging his neck tightly.

"Kael okay?" Ben asked, into Kael's neck.

"Sorry buddy, I didn't mean to scare you." As Kael holds Ben to his chest he starts to sway slightly and had to sit.

"Kael are you okay?" Aliandra asks concerned when she notices that Kael is slightly pale.

"Yeah sorry, shimmering into Hogwarts took more out of me than I thought that it would." Kael explained, as he continued to comfort the boy in his arms.

"How did you learn to shimmer?" Cole questioned, hearing Kael's last comment.

"Ben." Kael said, as if it explained everything.

"How? I thought that only demons and part demons could shimmer." Cole continued, trying to figure out the bond that his son shared with the teen.

"I don't know. But I know how to shimmer, and throw energy and fire balls. Give me a minute Ben and we'll go." Kael said, looking down at the boy.

"What are you talking about? He didn't say anything." Piper questioned, looking at the boys confused.

"Yes he did. He just asked...wait Ben do that again." Kael said, looking as confused as the adults in the room.

"Would someone please explain to me what is going on?" Athena asked, as she joined the conversation.

"By the looks of it Ben and I are in each other's heads. But how's that possible?" Kael asks as Paige and Kyle orbed in.

"Guys you are not going to believe this." Paige replied, oblivious to what had happened in her absence.

"Wanna bet you're not going to believe us first?" Piper dared.

"If you're talking about the new prophesy that just appeared in the B.O.S about Kael and Ben I will." Paige replied, with smirk at the groans that she heard.

"B.O.S?" Athena questioned, confused.

"I'll explain later. What did it say?" Piper asked, wanting to know what new prophesy he son was involved in.

"Summarized, they are two sides of the same being and together nothing can stop them but apart they are vulnerable to an unknown third person who causes either their victory or defeat." Paige said, raising an eyebrow at Kael as she noticed the way that he was looking at Kyle.

"And who is the third supposed to be?" Phoebe asked, knowing that everyone was itching to know.

"It didn't say but we better find out soon." Paige replied distractedly as Kael approached them.

"Who are you?" Kael demanded of Kyle.

"Kyle Brody, Paige's husband." Kyle managed to answer before Kael threw him across the room and had him pinned to the wall.

"Kael! What are you doing?" Athena demanded, noticing that Kael's eyes were flashing between normal, red and black.

"Protecting my family. Tell he the truth!" Kael demanded as he approached Kyle.

"Kael let him go!" Paige demanded either not listening to him or ignoring his accusations.

"Truth? What truth?" Piper demanded, ignoring her sister knowing that Kael wouldn't have done what he had done without a valid reason.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. Paige who the hell is this guy?" Kyle demanded, trying to release himself from Kael's hold.

"He's our nephew. Kael what truth?" Paige asked, as his words finally sank in.

"Last chance. You tell her or I will." Kyle tries once more to blast and orb his way out of Kael's hold and when he fails Kael smirks at him. "Wrong choice. Aunt Paige did you or Kyle notice the prophesy first?"

"He did, why?" Paige asks confused as to where Kael is going with this.

"Because he changed it." Kael replied, allowing his aura to show.

"Paige he's lying. What would I possibly have to gain by changing it?" Kyle said, pleading with his wife to believe him.

"Kael doesn't believe in lying." Aliandra quipped although everyone already knew that about the young man.

"And just who are you to get involved in a conversation between me and my wife?" Kyle demanded, wondering just who this new girl was.

"Who she is, is the least of your worries at the moment. Now do you want to finish this story or do you want me to do it for you?" At Kyle's silence Kael waves his hand in front of Kyle. "Aunt Phoebe, you're an empath correct?"

"Yes, why?" Phoebe asked, not sure she was following where Kael was going with this.

"Read Kyle, now that I removed his block." Kael replied, nodding his head at the captured man.

As Phoebe got closer she was able to pick up on not only his emotions but some of his thoughts as well. "Oh my god, you bastard!"

"What the hell is going on?" Piper demanded, wondering what her sister had just verified for Kael.

"He helped kill Ben. And after that he started draining Paige's powers." Phoebe explained, trying not to throw up in disgust.

"Which is why the Elders made me a whitelighter." Came avoice from behind everyone, and they all turned around to seeing Prue Halliwell standing in front of them.

"Prue?" Piper questioned, wanting to believe that her older sister was really there in front of her and not just some figment of her imagination.

"Yeah...it's me Piper. We've had our suspicions but not enough. How did you know what he was doing?" Prue asked Kael, amazed that this young man did in less than five minute what the Elders hadn't been able to do for months.

"Who are you?" Kael questioned, getting ready to defend his family if necessary.

"Kael it's okay. It's our oldest sister Prue." Piper explained, still not taking her eyes off of the woman in front of her.

"Ben told me that he would tell him what he was planning thinking that Ben couldn't understand him. So I looked into his memories and removed his emotion blocks so that Aunt Phoebe could read him and not just have my word for it." Kael explained, relaxing slightly at hearing that the stranger was also his aunt.

"Wait draining me how?" Paige questioned, overwhelmed with everything thats going on do decided on a somewhat more pressing matter.

"Have you been feeling more tired lately?" Kael questioned.

"Yeah but things have been kinda hectic lately." Paige dismissed.

"Yeah but you've also been more quiet lately. Pheebs and I noticed it and just thought that you and Kyle had been having trouble adjusting to both having charges." Piper said, as the pieces started falling into place.

"Oh that's not all you've done is it Kyle?" Kael asked, eyes flashing again.

"You bastard! Paige he's lying, I would never do that to you. I love you." Kyle yelled, wanting her to believe him.

"No you love power. Which is why you've had to drain Aunt Paige's power so you could hide that your orbs have changed color." Kael snapped, back.

"Are you telling me that he's a darklighter?" Phoebe demanded, shocked.

"I'm sorry Aunt Paige." Kael replied, adjusting his hold on Ben.

"That's not all. Kael what is that I can't quite get from him?" Phoebe asked as she stepped closer to Kyle hoping that the close proximity that she would be able to read him.

Kael adjust Ben in his arms again freeing before waving his hand in front of Kyle again. "Here, try again."

"He's working with Dumbledore. And has been all along." Phoebe whispered, trying not to throw up as she fought the shock.

"What do you mean?" Piper demanded.

"Dumbledore knew dad and Uncle Cole were like brother's so he was attacking Aunt Paige because that would damage the power of three which would hurt Uncle Cole and in turn hurt dad. A domino effect, pretty clever if you ask me. But not clever enough to work. You gravely underestimated me and my brother."

"Release me and fight me like a man you brat." Kyle yelled, wanting to get his hands on the brat and show him just what he could do with the power that he had stolen from Paige.

"I'll tell you what. I'll fight and beat you with one hand. Aunt Piper do you trust me?" Kael asked, turning to give his full attention to her answer.

"Yes, what are you going to do?" Piper asked, looking at Ben quickly before returning her gaze to Kael.

Kael hugs Ben tightly to his chest and Piper notices that Ben's eyes slowly drift shut. And he falls asleep in Kael's arms. "He shouldn't have to see this. Go ahead, take your best shot."

"Kael what do you think you're doing?" Athena demanded, taking a step closer to her son.

"Mama trust me he can't hurt me. He doesn't have that kind of power." Kael said, flashing his eyes to prove his point.

"You stupid boy! Do you think that you have more power that I do?" Kyle demanded, face flushing in anger.

Kael starts laughing before he closes his eyes and then opens then showing his full power. "Here's your freebee. Take your best shot." Kael repeated as he released Kyle.

"Ahh!"Kyle screamed, as he fell to the floor writhing in pain.

"Now do you believe I have more power?" Kael smirked, eyes flashing back to their normal colour.

"What did you do to him?" Prue asked, as she watched Kyle still writhing.

"Nothing, I just made the spell rebound back to on to him." Kael explained with a shrug as if he did that every day as easily as breathing.

"But you didn't move and he never said anything." Phoebe stated confused.

"I know. You see Kyle some of us are born with our power, making us more formidable enemies as we know how to use it. Now are you going to tell everyone the rest of Dumbledore's plans for you or do you want me to leave you like this for a little longer to convince you to talk?" Kael asked, his voice deepening as he allowed his aura to show again.

"I'll talk please." Kyle begged as he was no longer able to suppress his sobs at the pain.

"The truth or I'll make this feel like a tickle." Kael threatened, looking down at Kyle with a look of pure disgust.

"Okay, okay. Dumbledore wanted me to..."

I know that was mean but I thought that this was the best place to end the chapter. Update coming again soon.
