Part two: The Seer
The seer flamed in as all the demons did when summoned by the source.
My mother glared at her in anger.
"I demand to know what's going on." Phoebe said.
The seer bowed her head at the queen and then her eyes went white as she had the vision.
The seer's gift allowed her to have a vision whenever she wanted one.
I waited anxiously to see if it would be that easy to be discovered.
Would the elders make it that easy?
The vision ended.
The seer looked at me and spoke to me.
"Child come here to me please." she asked me.
My father and mother watched as I approached the seer.
"Give me your hand." She requested.
I laid my hand on her and she got another vision.
Oh no. maybe I shouldn't have done that after all.
When the vision ended this time the seer was livid with rage.
"How could you! Your own father! Why would you listen to a thing they had to say! Why would you agree to something so crazy. You must know this will never work child! You have been tricked." she said in a calm voice the way she always spoke to me or my siblings. Because she loved all of us in her own way.
But I knew then that she knew and now she had everyone's attention.
"Seer I demand an explanation now!" my father yelled at her.
Her eyes widened in fear. No one crossed my father.
"My Leigh. Please you must remember that she is your child you daughter. You treasure her life and must not end it. Before I tell you of this vision you must remember these things." the seer said.
My father did not look pleased. "I could never forget any of that ! Now tell me what did you see!" father yelled.
The seer bowed her head "in my vision I saw the elders freeze time. And summon your daughter to them." my entire family was looking at me now. As the seer continued.
"Leo has become an elder he asked her to take over where the charmed ones failed and offered her a soul if she agreed to this new destiny. They said she had a right to the book of shadows." she paused as she watched their reaction just as I did. I could tell by the grip she had on my arm that she was ready to protect me if one of them attacked.
My father looked angry and probably thought I told the elder to screw off.
My mother was just plain shocked that the elders would dare try this with me.
My brothers just stood there not really grasping the importance of this vision.
"then what happened?" my mother asked.
" She agreed. They put Pipers soul in her body, they also gave her the book of shadows and a whit lighter to protect her as with all young witches." she finished
My father was enraged and showed it by throwing an energy ball at the wall.
My mother grabbed for him probably thinking he might throw one at me next.
My brothers who finally understood what was going on were mad now at the elders.
"Why don't we just take her soul back out?" this came from David.
"You can't. " I said.
My father looked at me. "that's a great idea David. We'll just take that pesky soul out of you., trust me we can do it we have the magic and the incantation needed. So don't worry." my father said almost happily.
He and my mother stated to turn when I said "You don't understand. When I said you can't I didn't mean you didn't know how. I meant I wasn't going to let you do it. You cant take my soul. Not unless I'm willing. And I'm not willing. I'm going to do this daddy whether you like it or not." I said thinking I was insane as I was uttering the words but I stood my ground as they turned back towards me.
"What did you just say?" mom asked.
" I'm the king of the underworld. You are my daughter Dimmit! You will do what I tell you to do or suffer the consequences! Get the book of shadows and bring it to me. I'm going to destroy it!" my father yelled at me.
"No." I rebelled more.
My father extended his arm and I found myself in my room on my bed a moment after that I was cuffed to the bed by his magic.
This was so not good. I didn't know what to do. Then I remembered Travis.
Should I call for my white lighter? I knew my father was going to punish me and it would probably be the most severe punishment I have ever gotten. But didn't I deserve this for my betrayal. No amount of punishment was going to change my mind. Besides I was being punished for disobeying him not for betraying him. But this was my choice and he knew it.
He knew that you have to chose what side your on. He could try to talk me out of it but he knew that punishing me for being good would make no difference.
I struggled against the bounds that held me. But they wouldn't come lose.
