The Charmed Demigods

Chapter 2:

Underworld Vanquishing

Poppy Halliwell



It was dark in the Underworld, but that was to be expected. What we didn't expect was to be trapped in the Asphodel Meadows. I swear we were being watched. I shivered.

"Watch it Pop." Paul said rudely to me while shoving me to the side. I glared at him. "Shut up Bird Brain," I shoved him back. Smacking him on the back of the head fro good measure.

"Hey! What was that for?!" He pushed me back, "Because your being a jerk." we glared at eachother for a long time it seemed to me, but it couldn't have been more then a few minutes.

"Both of you stop it!" My Dad, Wyatt Halliwell snapped infront of our faces. "We're not here for you two to both argue, we're here to vanquish a swarm of thorn demons." I eyed both fo us with a stare that made us both feel ashamed.

"Let just keep going," he walked ahead of us down the path to Tartartus. I looked back at Paul and his arrogant smirk appeared on his face, "I'm the one who'll vanquish those demons." He sped up so he could catch up with my dad. I cracked my knuckles and followed them murmuring, "I swear....I'll kill him...."

My mind started to drift off to other things. We were in the Underworld.....The River of Styx was in the Underworld....my mother was here. I could see her. Shes so close. Maybe I can convince dad to let me see her. I smiled to myself.

"Da-" a thorn hit my father in the head, thorn demons appear all around us. I heard Paul shout, "Thorn Demons!"

"To little, to late Paul!" Paul shot various winds at the demons sending the thorns backfiring on them. "Some can thorn spit watch out Poppy!" I ran to my father pulling him out of the way while Paul defended us. I pulled the Thorn out of his head.

My dad groaned, "Don't worry dad we'll get you out safe." I looked up, the demons were enclosing Paul. He would be overwhelmed with Thorn Demons soon enough. Then I did somehting unexpecting.

"Rivers of Styx

I call upon thee

Bring us a storm on a powerful brink

To vanquish these demons to the depths of the black sea!

The Thorn demons disendsgrated into black dust as soon as I said it, Paul to his knees sweating and out of breath. I looked around eyes wide, I sat next to him, leaning my back against his looking all around me n pure shock. I felt Paul breathing heavily. I was also a bit, that spell took quite a toll on me.

We heard a groan and we both realized what it was: Dad.
