No problem for me with the swearing.
It's seems to me that Sam's spying into the house has opened a door so to speak.

Is the protection amulet Prue wears the same one from "Pardon My Past", although I don't remember it producing a protective shield. It simply glowed and absorbed the magical attacks of witches. There was an amulet on Charmed that projected an magical energy field, but Belthazor gave to Raynor in season three... Hmm, I wonder where Prue's amulet comes from? I'm interested with how you're going to tie Supernatural's demonic world with Charmed's demonic world. They're so different, it'll be interesting to see how you make it work.

No problem for me with the swearing. It's seems to me that Sam's spying into the house has opened a door so to speak. Glad that it doesn't bother you. I'd have actually left the words in, but most proboards have an annoying tendency to alter the words to annoying things. I first discovered this when I had a chapter named "Teaspoon or Tablespoon" . . . let's find out if it changes them. I still don't even know what swear word they thought was in that. Yes, Sam's spying has definitely opened a metaphorical door. Let's find out what's behind that door. First, though, let's see what Grams has to say. Is the protection amulet Prue wears the same one from "Pardon My Past", although I don't remember it producing a protective shield. It simply glowed and absorbed the magical attacks of witches. There was an amulet on Charmed that projected an magical energy field, but Belthazor gave to Raynor in season three... Hmm, I wonder where Prue's amulet comes from? I'm interested with how you're going to tie Supernatural's demonic world with Charmed's demonic world. They're so different, it'll be interesting to see how you make it work. Both good guesses, very good guesses. It might take a while before the exact explanation comes up, but rest assure that will be answered.
Chapter Eleven - Summon the Dead After talking to Darryl, Sam wasn’t sure how much new information he had, but he had a new resolve. Whatever else it had done, talking to this stranger, had focused him and made him realize that the Halliwells might be witches, but they were unlike any witches he had met before. Sam walked over to where the two boys and their grandpa waited. “So what are we doing here?” “We’re doing nothing,” Victor informed him. “This is all the boys.” Wyatt grabbed his brother’s hand and they started chanting. “Hear these words, hear our cry. Spirit from the other side, come to us, we summon thee. Cross now the great divide, beloved spirit Penelope. We seek your guidance. We ask that you commune with us, and move among us.” Sam watched amazed as lights swirled around within the circles and slowly formed into a woman who looked anything by grandmotherly. She made him think more of a tigress. There was something dangerous about her. “What? Why am I being summoned?” Penelope “Grams” Halliwell asked as she turned around to look at her surroundings. “Hello, boys. Have you been behaving and practicing your magic?” “Yes, Grams,” the two boys chorused with twin grins on their faces. Sam snorted. Grams turned around and looked at him. “And who are you?” “Sam,” he replied, sobering quickly. “Hardly,” Grams retorted. Sam resisted the urge to roll his eyes at her. “Sam Winchester,” he informed her, emphasizing his last name. What were the chances he shared a last name with the father of Wyatt and Chris’ younger aunt, whatever her name was? Grams ignored him and turned to look at her grandsons. “Now, did you need something boys?” “We have a question,” Wyatt informed her. Chris was more direct. He pointed at Sam and announced, “He thinks he saw Aunt Prue in the Manor. Did he?” “And why do you expect me to know the answer?” Grams asked. “I can’t see into the Manor.” “Why not?” Sam asked, annoyed. “You’re a ghost aren’t you? Can’t ghosts go places others can’t.” Grams glared at him. “Someone cast a spell on the Manor. No one, dead or alive, can get in.” “Well, someone is going to have to,” Sam decided, “because the killing has got to stop.” “And how do you intend to do that, boy?” Sam sighed. “I don’t know. There has to be a way, though. Don’t they sleep?” “If Prue is in there, I can’t imagine why she would,” Grams retorted. “My granddaughter is just as dead as I am.” “And your grandson-in-law? Is he?” “Leo?” Grams frowned. “I don’t know what happened to Leo. He just vanished seven years ago with all four of my granddaughters.” “Yes, Leo,” Sam agreed. “He’s in there. I didn’t get a great look at him, but I got a good enough look that it is definitely him.” “Leo’s in the Manor?” Grams questioned. “Before this happened, did you talk to your granddaughter?” Sam asked. “The dead one.” “Her name is Prue,” Grams informed him. “I did speak to her that day.” “Did she say anything useful?” Sam wanted to know. Grams noticed Prue looking worried. “Is everything all right, Dear?”
“Have you looked in on my sisters lately?” Prue Halliwell asked, concern threading through her words.
“Not recently, no. Is something the matter?”
“With what they’re planning, you might just see them up here very soon,” Prue commented.
“What did they do?”
“Nothing yet,” Prue admitted, “but they might be in over their heads. This demon scared the Source, Grams, and they are trying to vanquish him. I don’t know if they can do it.”
“What are you planning, Prue?”
Prue shook her head. “I have an idea, but I have to go talk to someone.”
“You can’t go to your sisters,” Grams warned her.
“It’s been four years, Grams,” Prue protested. “I am adjusted. I am here to stay. I get that. Now, my sisters need my help.”
“You do go to them and who knows what will happen to you or them.”
“They can’t hold me here and no one’s going to punish them for my actions.”
“From what you are saying they need to concentrate and not on you.”
Prue sighed. “Fine, but I am not leaving them without my help if I can give it. I’ll just have to find another way.” Prue walked away from Grams, a look of concentration on her face. “A spell, that’s what I’ll do,” Prue muttered as she walked out of Grams’ hearing range. “Leo can present it . . .”
“After that I couldn’t hear what she was saying, but I suppose she was going to approach Leo with her plan, whatever it was.” Grams scrutinized Sam. “You are saying that both Prue and Leo ended up in the Manor all these years.” “Well, Leo is definitely there, but the woman I could only guess was Prue,” Sam repeated for what seemed like the hundredth time. “From what you are saying, I’d have to guess that it is extremely likely that it is her in there. That’s good to know, but how do we get in there without getting killed. That’s the one thing no one is telling me. No one is even coming up with any ideas.” He sighed and looked at Grams. “Can you do me a favor?” Grams looked at him, surprised. “What did you need other than info on Prue?” “Two days ago the motel I was in collapsed,” Sam informed her. “The police don’t know why or if they do they aren’t telling me.” “While, that is strange, you seem fine,” Grams informed him. “What kind of help could you possibly need, young man?” “Over thirty people were in that building,” Sam gave her a scalding look, “including my brother and I’m the only one who survived.” He tried to relax his tense body as he continued, “Can you please try and find my brother, if he’s there and tell him I haven’t given up. His name is Dean.” Grams nodded. “I’ll look, but what do you mean by ‘if’ he’s there. All the dead go there.” Sam shook his head. “No, thrilled as I am for you that you don’t have experience with what I am talking about, not all the dead go there. My dad went to hell to keep Dean alive and then Dean went there to bring me back. Dad was there for over a year and from what Dean told me of his four months there, that’s like over a hundred years in hell. Dad’s out of there, with Mom I think. She died when I was a baby, but she . . .” She was the only ghost he’d ever come in contact with that he’d really been glad to see. Had he the chance to summon her or Jess or Dad like Wyatt and Chris could their great-grandmother or their grandmother, he would have, gladly. Sam smiled a little. “Okay, I get it, now.” Wyatt looked at him curious. “What do you get?” Sam chuckled, a little. “I get why someone would want to summon a ghost.” He nodded his head at Grams. “No offense, but it’s a concept very foreign to me.” “I’ll let it go this once,” Grams replied. “I must be going though.” She looked at Sam. “I will attempt to find your brother and deliver the message, though I can’t imagine what use it is.” “He’ll understand,” Sam assured her. Grams shook her head. “Men.” Apparently Sam had gone from “boy” to “man” somewhere in the course of the conversation. And then she disappeared in sparkling lights. The sooner they solved this the sooner he could try and save his brother. Sam looked at Victor and his grandsons. “I guess we have two questions to answer. How do we neutralize the woman with the fire power? And how do we get in there?”
Wyatt and Chris have some things to show Sam that might be useful. These boys had to grow up more than most kids their age. For bonus points, do you know what Prue was planning on talking to Leo about?

It was Christy in the conservatory with a fireball....
Oops, I'm still playing the wrong game.
Now, you're making it look as if Prue cast the spell that trapped everyone in the manor.
The boys have access to some magical items: a ring that negates a witches power, an amulet shields one from witches magic, and excalibur. I don't see how they can know that any of these items will be useful. They don't know that Christy is a witch, and they don't know what excalibur can do other than be very useful in a sword fight.

I'm thinking the spell Prue gave Leo was the spell that gave the sisters access to Prue's astral projection. At least, that's how I think StoryGirl83 is retconning that bit of Charmed canon. Oh, and didn't the Shadow that absorbs power from the Halliwell's Nexus give those it possessed black soulless eyes? Plus, it had a shadow-y/vapor body like the demons on Supernatural. Maybe that's what's in Christie! Still, I wonder how this will still meld the two worlds since most demons in Charmed have corporeal bodies of their own, unlike the demons on Supernatural.

It was Christy in the conservatory with a fireball.... Oops, I'm still playing the wrong game. Now, you're making it look as if Prue cast the spell that trapped everyone in the manor. The boys have access to some magical items: a ring that negates a witches power, an amulet shields one from witches magic, and excalibur. I don't see how they can know that any of these items will be useful. They don't know that Christy is a witch, and they don't know what excalibur can do other than be very useful in a sword fight. That's all right. I like Clue. Am I making it look that way? Well, that will all be explained in a few chapters. As to the magical items the boys have access to, they are really rather limited, because all of those things are stuck in the manor and they can't get into the manor. By "a ring that negates a witches power" do you mean Nicholas' ring? The amulet would be the one Anton gave P. Russel, right? And we all know what Excalibur is. Those are good guesses, but as you will see, not what they have. I'm thinking the spell Prue gave Leo was the spell that gave the sisters access to Prue's astral projection. At least, that's how I think StoryGirl83 is retconning that bit of Charmed canon. Oh, and didn't the Shadow that absorbs power from the Halliwell's Nexus give those it possessed black soulless eyes? Plus, it had a shadow-y/vapor body like the demons on Supernatural. Maybe that's what's in Christie! Still, I wonder how this will still meld the two worlds since most demons in Charmed have corporeal bodies of their own, unlike the demons on Supernatural. Good job. Yes, the spell Prue plans to give Leo is the one that gave them access to her astral projection power. For the purpose of this, it is rather limited, requiring her presence, though her sisters don't know that. Obviously, they could do with it something she couldn't (use their powers), but for the purpose of my story that is what works best. Ding, ding, ding!!! Great job. You figured it out. That is the shadow-y/vapor body demon that gives those it possesses black soullesss eyes that I thought of from Charmed. As you will learn it's not that one, but that is the connection. I will definitely be going into the differences between Charmed and Supernatural demons. Believe me it was one of the things that gave me a headache when I originally wrote this.
Sorry about how long it took to get this up. I keep having those can't-get-anything-done time periods. I'm trying to get in the updates. Hope you enjoy. Now, to let you know what it is that the boys have that they think will come in handy.
Chapter Twelve - Wyatt's Book Half an hour later, Sam found himself sitting around the dinner table with Wyatt, and Chris. Victor had provided them all with something to eat and left. Chris had brought out a notebook and various writing supplies, including, to Sam’s amusement, a pencil sharpener. It was Wyatt’s contribution that had Sam a little stunned. It was a black binder stuffed to the max with sheets of paper sheaved in plastic covers. “What is that?” Sam demanded to know. “I know it’s kind of small,” Wyatt started, causing Sam’s eyes to widen, “but the real one is stuck in the Manor and like everything else, we can’t get to it.” “But what is it?” Sam repeated. “It’s a book of shadows,” Wyatt informed him. “From what I remember the Book at the Manor is about three times the size of this notebook, but I had to collect all the info myself and it’s kind of hard. The internet helped some, but you can’t always be too sure of stuff you get there. I’ve had Grams and Grandma Patty helping me out, checking my work. ‘Course I had to find the spell to summon them first.” Wyatt laughed. “Now, that was a comedy of errors.” “So does that talk about people that can control fire?” Wyatt nodded as he started flipping through it. “They’re called Fire Starters. They are pretty rare, but show up from time to time. I got Tyler’s help with that one. He’s a Fire Starter. Some Fire Starters, like Tyler, are witches, too, but most come from no magical back ground at all. My guess is that yours has some sort of magical training at the very least, since she appears to have gotten the better of pretty much the entire adult part of my family.” Sam tried valiantly not to laugh at that. Wyatt was so solemn. “Okay, does it say anything about how to stop them?” Wyatt shook his head. “No. It only says that, like most magical beings, their power is in their emotions. When that goes haywire, so do their powers.” “And we don’t want that,” Sam sighed. “If her powers go haywire, she might accidentally cause a lot of damage.” “Which is presuming that she doesn’t want to cause a lot of damage,” Chris retorted. “What we need to do is find a way that she can’t use her powers at all, bind them, or better still strip them.” Sam looked at him interested. Before he could ask about that, Wyatt was shaking his head. “And do what, force feed them to her. Both of those have to be ingested.” “Not always,” Chris argued. “I found a diary of Aunt Phoebe’s among her stuff from the Bay Mirror. Let me go get it,” Chris suggested. He hopped up and headed out of them room. “What’s he up to?” Sam asked turning to look at Wyatt. Wyatt shrugged. “Not a clue. I don’t know anything about Aunt Phoebe’s diary.” “Which one is Phoebe?” Sam asked, glancing back at the pictures on the wall in the other room. “She’s third born, after our mom,” Wyatt informed him. “Aunt Prue was the oldest. She’s the one who died and you think you saw in the Manor. Mom’s next. Her name was,” he smiled a little as he shrugged and changed it, “or is Piper. Aunt Phoebe’s the baby. She’s not the youngest since it turns out there’s Aunt Paige as well, but she’s certainly the baby or so I’m told. I barely remember anything about her. I was just two and a half when we lost them all.” Wyatt looked at him curious. “What about your family? You mentioned a brother to Grams. Any other siblings, parents?” Sam was quiet for several seconds. “My mom was killed by a demon when I was six months old. My dad traded his life for Dean’s about a year after you lost your parents. About three years ago we found out we had a half brother, just after he was killed. We never met him, never knew him. I’m not even sure you could consider him family, but he was blood, so I guess that counts for something.” “Found it,” Chris announced as he reentered the room. In his hands was a small book. He opened it up and started flipping through it. He smiled as he stopped. “Here is it.” He handed the opened book to Sam and pointed to something. “Cole’s powers are gone,” Sam read aloud. He cast a puzzled look at the two brothers, but kept reading. “I wasn’t sure if it would work. A few weeks ago I had Piper make some changes to the potion. Last time I through the goblet at his feet and nothing happened, because nothing was supposed to happen, but this time when Emma through the potion at Cole it did what Piper had changed it to do. It stripped his demonic powers. It killed the demon Belthazor and left behind the man I love.” Sam stopped and looked at the brothers. “And how does this help us?” “There is a way to make a stripping potion that doesn’t require ingestion,” Chris announced. “We just have to figure out how.” Sam looked at the two brothers and shook his head. “You know what. I’m going to get another look at inside that building and I’ll leave the witchcraft to you two experts.” “Works for me,” Wyatt agreed. “I’ll take a look at the notes I’ve gather and see if I can find anything.” He looked at his little brother. “See if you can get Grandpa to agree to help you out in the kitchen.” “Grandpa can’t cook,” Chris informed him. Wyatt shrugged. “Neither can you. Fortunately it is possible to make a potion without the ability to cook crêpes Suzette and that you can do.” Sam chuckled at them. “Since my brother’s car is decidedly back near your place, where can I catch a bus.” The brothers looked at each other. Chris shook his head. Wyatt gave him a look. Chris scowled. Wyatt nodded vigorously. Chris snorted and headed across the room. He grabbed up a phone book and started flipping through it. He handed it open to Sam. “Taxi’s faster.”
As you can see I had to work around what was stuck in the manor. I wanted the actual Book of Shadows, but the episode proved that it was in the manor at the time of the explosion and the way I have this written there is no way it left after that, and I'm keeping that part of the episode in tact, so the Book is stuck in there. However with the way I have the boys, old before their time because of everything that happened to their family and to those who approached their house, it made sense for them to do what they did. Sam is heading back to the manor, but this time it won't be quite so easy.

Great, I've been waiting for an update ;D!
Piper made a power stripping potion that didn't need to be ingested in early season four too, in A Knight To Remember when the sisters stripped the Evil Enchantress of her powers through a potion thrown at her feet. So, yep it is possible.
Looking forward to the next installment!

Great, I've been waiting for an update ;D! Piper made a power stripping potion that didn't need to be ingested in early season four too, in A Knight To Remember when the sisters stripped the Evil Enchantress of her powers through a potion thrown at her feet. So, yep it is possible. Looking forward to the next installment! Ah! Thank you. I thought there was something, but I couldn't come up with it, so I went with the situation where Cole's powers got stripped. Probably worked better, because something about the Evil Enchantress would probably be something that was only in the Book of Shadows and not accessable to the boys, but thank you so much for letting me know. This next piece is kind of short . . . as in really short . . . but I think it packs in a lot. This is far beyond anything Sam is used to. Don't worry, there's about to be some turn about as Sam learns something about the woman with the fire power that is well within his level of expertise and far beyond anything the Halliwell's have faced. It's just a matter of focus. Some things they have faced I doubt he could make even the slightest dent on, but this he can handle. The way SWTWG played out, the Book of Shadows would have been stuck in the manor, therefore unavailable to the boys, so I improvised.
Chapter Thirteen - Another Meg Sam climbed back up onto the roof. He sure hoped that the owners wouldn’t show up anytime soon. They might take exception to his presence. He crawled along the roof until the backyard of the manor was in view. Sam used the binoculars to look for an open window or some sort of crack. The only ones he found were in the attic windows. He sighed and looked down at the continuous fight just inside the house. The enemy had formed fire between her hands. Prue, for with one good look at her face all doubt of that was erased, watched her wearily, one hand holding up what appeared to be an amulet of some sort. At first Sam couldn’t locate Leo, but he noticed him lying on the ground behind Prue. Sam hoped he was only sleeping. It was what was in front of Prue that caught his attention. Before, he’d focused his attention on the fight. Now, he tried to get a good view of the bodies. As long as the house had been locked up, it was unlikely they were recent additions. Seeing no sign of decay, he decided they were probably alive, but unconscious or asleep. He wasn’t sure which. Still unable to get a good view of them, he gave up trying and turned his attention to the enemy. As if she sensed his attention, she turned to look at him. To his shock he saw the black eyes of someone possessed by a demon, just before the burning started. Sam was fully unprepared for what happened next. He felt as if someone had turned him upside down and tickled him while giving him a good shake. He no longer burned, but he was disoriented and his stomach rolled as he saw the town pass by him in rapid movement through sparkling balls of light.
As I said it was short, but I hope that didn't matter so much. And I've never tried to describe orbing in quite that way before, but I thought I'd give it a try. They orbed Sam before, but not when he was conscious. And that is also why they suggested he take a taxi instead of orbing him back. I have work to do before the next scene will be done. Hopefully that won't take too long, but not tonight. And just in case anyone is interested, no I don't know of any place where Christy's eyes look like that. I modified it, by using Ruby's eyes from a season three episode. I was going to use Meg's, but I just so happened to be taking screenshots from a scene where Ruby's eyes did that, so I took that instead. It seems to look well. What do you think?

The images are cool. I like it. I've done the eye effect before for a character in a RPG some years ago.
This piece has me anxious for the next part! Can't wait to read it!

The images are cool. I like it. I've done the eye effect before for a character in a RPG some years ago. This piece has me anxious for the next part! Can't wait to read it! Thanks. I made a lot of avatars, so I figured I might as well use them for something. Some get used more than others. That particular one of Christy is pretty much for this story, since possessed Christy is not exactly the normal way of things. Here's that next piece for you.
Chapter Fourteen - Strip, Bind, or What Sam looked at the two boys as it registered with him that he was back in Victor’s apartment. “Okay, what just happened?” The brothers looked at each other and then at him innocently. “Nothing.” Sam eyed them. Nothing about them gave away the lie he knew it to be. “I see.” He gave them a few seconds to tell him something and then shrugged. “Back to the demon then.” “Are you sure it’s a demon?” Wyatt asked. “Sounds more like a warlock to me.” “Any idea what kind?” Chris asked, ignoring his brother. “Definitely a demon,” Sam confirmed. “And one I shouldn’t have trouble dealing with now that I know what it is. I’ve dealt with this kind of demon before and I should be able to do this and hopefully save the host as well.” “The host?!” The brothers exclaimed in unison. “You mean someone’s possessed?” Chris added. It was kind of nice to have this conversation with people who didn’t think he was nuts just for saying it. Other than Dean and Bobby . . . and Cas, if he ever bothered to show up . . . that was pretty uncommon in Sam’s world. Sam nodded. “There’s no doubt about that. I don’t know anything about the host, of course, but they should be physically unharmed after I get rid of the demon.” “And mentally?” Wyatt asked. “Emotionally?” Sam shook his head. This kid was too old. “I don’t know. This isn’t normal. But the demon doesn’t really care.” “What about the stripping potion?” Chris wanted to know. “We didn’t have a way to get it in there anyway,” Sam reminded him. “And this way we don’t risk hitting your family.” “Oh,” Chris sounded a little disappointed. “Well, I guess it’s good to avoid accidentally stripping Mom’s powers.” Wyatt snorted. “She’d have mixed feelings on that one.” Chris laughed in agreement. “I guess so.” He turned to look at Sam. “But if we can’t get the potion in, how are you going to be able to do anything?” “I don’t have to get through the door and I can start from several feet away,” Sam informed him. “Hopefully I can get close enough without being noticed.” The two brothers looked at each other, worried. “I don’t like how that sounds,” Wyatt admitted. “We’re going with you,” Chris announced at almost the same time. Wyatt frowned. “What?” “It makes since,” Chris informed him. “If we’re close, we can be there to help if he is wrong and needs our help.” Wyatt frowned. After a moment he sighed. “I’ll go tell Grandpa.” “Taxi, again?” Chris asked. Wyatt nodded as he headed out of the room.
Any ideas on what's next?

You don't want me to reply again since I know this story already, do you? ;D Would be kind of strange and awkward for others. LOL

Thanks, Chrisaholic. You're right. You guessing, probably isn't the best idea, since you know what happens. Feel free to enjoy rereading it though.
Chapter Fifteen - A Warning and a Decision “Grandpa’s not going to like this,” Chris announced. “Shh,” Wyatt directed. Since Wyatt hadn’t exactly told Victor everything he knew, but he thought he knew his grandpa enough to know they weren’t going to have trouble from him, not if it meant saving their mom and aunts. “He will if Mom’s in there and we get her out safely.” “He doesn’t like magic,” Chris reminded him. “He says it’s too dangerous. He’s not going to like this,” Chris argued. “And if one of us gets hurt . . .” “We won’t,” Wyatt assured him. “And if Sam gets hurt?” Chris asked, bringing Sam into the conversation for the first time since the taxi dropped them off. “Don’t worry about me, Chris,” Sam recommended. “I’ve done this many times before.” “But never against this demon,” Chris persisted. “Mom and her sisters are the Charmed Ones. They are more powerful than any other witches . . . ever. And this demon has either kept them unconscious for seven years or even killed them seven years ago.” Chris stared across the lawn at the Manor. “Not to mention been in a deadlock with Aunt Prue just as long.” “I’d get away from there, if I were you, kids,” Mr. Trudeau’s voice informed them as he stopped a few feet from them. Sam looked over to see him, recognizing him as the man from the police office. He hoped that the man didn’t make the same connection. “It’s dangerous,” Mr. Trudeau continued. “As far as I can tell you are safe on the sidewalk, but don’t approach the house.” The boys looked at each other. “We will be fine,” Wyatt told him. “It’s our home.” “Then, you know how dangerous it is,” Mr. Trudeau commented. “Many people have died here over the years, but none more than in the last seven or so years.” “We know,” Wyatt agreed. “Our great-grandmother had a heart attack in there. She died later in the hospital. Our aunt . . . but let’s not go into that. Just know that we know.” “Why are you here?” Chris wanted to know. “I am here, because my car broke down,” he informed them pointing down the street behind him, “and I live on this street,” he continued pointed in the opposite direction. “This house happens to be between my car and my own house. My son was friends with the girls who grew up her many years ago. He was among those who died here, too.” There was pain in his eyes. “Why did you stick around,” Sam asked, “if the memories hurt so badly?” “Because they’re all I have left,” he admitted. “Maybe there is a memory at every turn, but they’re something of my Andy.” He surveyed the small group and sighed. “If you aren’t going to take my advice and get away from here, at least be careful.” Sam and both boys nodded. “We will,” Wyatt assured him. They watched silently as Mr. Trudeau walked away. When he was out of sight, Sam looked at the front of the manor and then at the two boys on either side of him. “You don’t have to stay,” Sam informed them. “We’re staying,” Chris announced. “This is our family, our house,” Wyatt reminded him. “We aren’t leaving.” Sam nodded. “Then, we need to get around back. Now, that I know that women is possessed I should have no trouble dealing with her.” “Are you sure?” Chris asked concerned. Sam nodded, again. “I’ve had plenty of practice. I need to be in the backyard so I can get closer once I start. The closer I am the more effective it is.” “If I orb you, how fast can you start?” Wyatt asked, thinking. “Orb?” “That’s how we got you out the last two times,” Chris informed, sounding a little proud. “Oh,” Sam thought about the disorientation he had experienced. “I think it will take at least several seconds. That was very disorienting.” “Not fast enough,” Wyatt admitted. “I guess we will have to try the gate. If you can do something as soon as they are in visible range, you should be okay.” There was a pause before Wyatt added, “I think.” “Great,” Sam responded sarcastically. “No time.”
Sam is learning pieces about these boys, bit by bit. They weren't planning on telling about orbing . . . hence all the taxis. A little more from Andy's dad and things are about to get dangerous.

What a ingenious place to end the chapter to leave readers wanting more! I'm interested in reading about Sam's plan in action to see if it works. Chances are, it might not go so well!

I've personally only ever watched the pilot of Supernatural so I'm running on limited knowledge on that side of things. But regardless, I'm really enjoying this. So keep those chapters coming.

What a ingenious place to end the chapter to leave readers wanting more! I'm interested in reading about Sam's plan in action to see if it works. Chances are, it might not go so well! That is sometimes the point of the pauses. Glad it left you wanting to know what happened next. I've personally only ever watched the pilot of Supernatural so I'm running on limited knowledge on that side of things. But regardless, I'm really enjoying this. So keep those chapters coming. Well, most of what you need to know about Supernatural can be seen in the various flashbacks, so hopefully that's not too much of an issue. It's mostly a Charmed story with a guest star from Supernatural. Most of this will be from the world of Charmed. I'm glad that a limited knowledge of Supernatural hasn't stopped you from enjoying this. Here's more for you to enjoy. Poor Sam! Stuck with two obviously "matured" boys when it comes down to magic!? They had to grow up too fast with the loss of their parents and with the issues of the manor, they have tried to learn as much as they can to hopefully find a way to stop more people from getting killed.
So Sam's going to confront the demon. Here you go.
Chapter Sixteen - No Turning Back Sam was apprehensive as he walked through the backyard of the Halliwell Manor. He was highly conscious of the fact that other than the two brothers no one had walked where he was walking and lived in over seven years. He reached the corner of the house and exhaled slowly. It was make it or break it time and he couldn’t afford to fail. Those two brothers were counting on him. The people inside didn’t know it, but they were counting on him. The unknown people who might yet be killed in and around this house and its land were counting on him. And if that wasn’t enough pressure, he had to survive, because Dean was counting on him. And he wasn’t going to let his brother down. With that in mind Sam readied himself and turned that corner. He felt fire burn in his chest, but he forced himself to ignore it. He had to. He reached up his hand with much difficulty and suddenly the demon possessed woman was flying at the wall and his heart no longer hurt. He kept walking as he forced her flush against the wall. Prue watched him wearily, clearly unsure how to take this, and after seven years almost too tired to think. Sam ignored her and kept walking until he reached the door and tried to open it. Sam let out a yelp and dropped both hands as the door burned him. The woman smirked at him and Sam felt his chest start burning, again, faster and hotter this time. Prue waved her arm, giving Sam precious seconds to recover as the woman was thrown across the room. She recovered quickly, too quickly as was typical of those demons, but it was enough time for Sam. He held up his arm and she went sailing at the wall, unable to move as he concentrated on the demon inside her. After several seconds black smoke started exciting through her mouth. Sam’s body shook from the amount of power it required to fight her. The smoke suspended, tugging in and out as the demon was not willing to let go of its host and Sam was not willing to let her stay. The battle seemed to go on forever and Sam could feel the strength being sapped out of him and then he felt his opposition give up. The black smoke excited the woman and both Sam and the woman slipped into unconsciousness.
That's over, for the moment, but back at the apartment, Victor's in for a shock. For those not familiar with Supernatural, this is an ability that Sam has, something he learned to control to some degree in the time between season three and season four. Sometimes the host survived. Sometimes they didn't. Usually the host has only been there for a short time. Do you think Sam and the demon's host survived the battle?

I think Sam survived, possibly Christy too since this demon is similar to the shadow demon who's host usually do. Here's to hoping we get some Sam interaction with Prue and Leo, not to mention find out what's going on with the sisters.

Here's to hoping we get some Sam interaction with Prue and Leo, not to mention find out what's going on with the sisters. Well, I'm going to make you wait to find out what happened to Sam, because strange things are happening at Victor's apartment. Minor language warning if anyone has issues with language.
Chapter Seventeen - Something’s Not Right Here Victor sat on his couch, uneasy. Wyatt had been rather vague about what was going on, but he had understood enough to know his grandsons were taking Sam to the Manor. That was enough to cause worry by itself, but the fact that Wyatt hadn’t explained what was going on worried him more. Pounding on the door stopped Victor in his thoughts. He sighed and got up when he reached the door he looked through the peephole. He didn’t recognize the young man standing out there, so he left the chain on the door as he pulled it opened. “Where’s my brother?” The young man demanded. “What?” Victor asked, confused. Maybe this guy had the wrong door. “I said, where’s my brother, d**nit!” the young man repeated, more forceful this time. “They said he came here.” “I don’t even know who your brother is,” Victor protested. “Sam,” Dean informed him. “My brother is Sam Winchester. Now where is he?” Victor stared at him shocked. “Aren’t you supposed to be dead?” Dean frowned at him. “Who told you that?” “Sam did.” Dean digested this quickly. “Then, he is here.” “No, he’s not here,” Victor countered. “He left.” “He thinks I’m dead,” Dean repeated, the words hadn’t quite sunk in. “The paramedics told me they never saw him. And he hasn’t been answering his phone.” He glanced around, as if expecting to see something. “Something strange is going on. Any chance you’ll let me in or tell me where I can find him?” Victor considered the stranger on the other side of the door. “What did you say your name was, son?” “Dean, and I’m not your son.” Dean scowled at him. “Sam. Where is Sam?” “He’s trying to help my grandsons,” Victor told him slowly. “I think he’s trying to rescue my daughters and my son-in-law.” Dean didn’t like the sound of that. “Rescue? From what?” Victor shook his head. “I don’t know.” Dean groaned. He didn’t like the sound of that. “Well, tell me where he is, so I can help out. I am not leaving my little brother to the mercy of some unknown foe. D**nit! Tell me where he is.” Victor pushed the door closed and unchained it. He pulled the door opened enough to let Dean in. “Come in and we’ll talk. I don’t think there is anything you can do at this point. The boys would have contacted me if something went wrong and they’ve been gone over an hour, so whatever is going to happen is already over or going on now.” “Then, I have to get there,” Dean informed him, not stepping one step forward. “Where is my brother?!” “There are some things you need to know before you get anywhere near that house,” Victor informed him as he waited with the door opened. Dean, deciding this man wasn’t going to budge until he listened scowled and walked in. Victor closed the door behind him.
How's that for a plot twist? Any ideas on what is going on? The next scene is back to the manor, to find out what's happening there and if what Sam did really worked.
