A/N: This is the sequal to, "The Blessed Ones". It is the fifth in my series. I hope you will all like this as much as the first four. There is a list at the bottom of the desrciptions, with the main characters and their powers. winter blaze, CharmedAli, & CuteLittleBritt: Hey y'all, I'm so happy that you gave me your opinions! Thanks for being totally cool (that sounded "so four years ago) reviewers! :-D charmedsisters: Well, in that future in "Charmed At Last", things were different. Every little thing can alter the course of time. In the "first" future, Pearl didn't meet Brandon until much later on in her life, but now she met him at 8, so that has a major impact on things. Since Piper thought she would only have one daughter, her sleeping with Leo more often and not thinking that it would effect her, might have also changed things. In the other future, Piper never got pregnant, so Persia was never "magically drawn" to her birth family. Although she may have searched for them later, we'll never know. But if you'd like, I could see about writing it into the fic, just to settle any confusion. ;) wyatt333: I'm glad you liked the Persia bit, I thought it was fitting. peanut2lb: Aww, you're welcome! I'm super happy that you liked the Prue & Andy moments! And there will definitely be more Prue & Andy in the sequel. Zythe: Oh! I'm so happy that you noticed how the doors were shut. I think that they should eventually have Paige orb the Manor doors shut (maybe for the, dear Goddess, series finale)? Ya know, starting with Prue and ending with Paige? Anyway, ya know, bringing back James is a REALLY good idea! lol I just might do that! The Wiccaning is a good idea too....Maybe you should be writing this? About those celtic symbols, that would be cool, as long as your not going out of your way or anything. Thanks for the wonderful review! Parker's Pretender: I'm glad you like Prissy's name. :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Jenny: Yes, I will be updating the pictures, right after this is posted, in fact. (Still working on those pictures that aren't working....I just don't get it!) money makes me smile: Wow, that is a really sweet comment! Thanks for reviewing and you have a Happy Holiday(s) too! For those the you who haven't read "Charmed At Last", "Family Affair", "Together Forever As One", & "The Blessed Ones"; I advise you to do so. Here is a short summary of the four....
"Charmed At Last" - Summary: Piper & Leo are married and have been trying to have children for a while now. Phoebe and Cole are dating but they still haven't figured a way around the whole bounty hunter situation; Cole never became The Source and is still Balthezor. The Source was never vanquished, either. Paige and Glenn are just beginning to date, as in, a serious relationship. Glenn goes away on another trip, when Paige finds out she's pregnant. She tells her sisters and then they are attacked by a demon. That's when their eldest sister, who had supposidly died, comes and saves their lives. The truth that Prue never died is revealed and that Paige's pregnancy has allowed her to return home. They must begin their real destiny, with the, Power of Four. When Glenn returns, Paige tells him that she is pregnant; they soon are married. A few months later Paige gives birth to a beautiful baby girl named, Pearlinda Melody Belland, Pearl for short. In the finale, Piper finds out that she is pregnant. By this time, Pearl is about 6 months old.
"Family Affair" - Summary: This takes place almost 2 years after the finale of "Charmed At Last". Paige's daughter, Pearl, is almost 3-years-old and Piper's daughter, Phiona, is almost 2-years-old. Paige and Glenn are happily married and so are Piper and Leo. The story starts off with Phoebe and Cole's wedding; Phoebe is also about 4 months pregnant with her and Cole's first child. Prue is still single and recieves a 3rd power during this time. The sisters and their husbands go through the traumatic time of yet a 3rd Halliwell pregnancy and soon Phoebe gives birth to a healthy baby girl named, Pamela Victoria Turner, Pam for short. Then the sisters must deal with all the trouble that normal toddlers get into, plus the added effect of magic from two little witch-whitelighter-mortals, while learning how to control a newborn witch-demoness-mortal.
"Together Forever As One" - Summary: This takes place about 1 year after Pam's first birthday. Pearl is now about 5-years-old and in Kindergarten, Phiona is about 4-years-old, & Pam is about 2-years-old. For Piper & Leo, Phoebe & Cole, and Paige & Glenn; things are going smoothly. Considering they have wild little magical children to look after. Prue is still single. The story starts off on Prue's 34th birthday. She is feeling kind of down since each of her sister's has a wonderful little girl and she is yet to have a child, but in the future, she saw that she had a daughter. Then as a surprise for her birthday, The Elders allow Andy Trudeau to return for 24 hours, to spend with Prue. He isn't a ghost/spirit during this 24 hour period, but just as alive as everyone else. Prue and Andy make up for lost time and then sleep together before Andy has to leave again. 1 month after Prue & Andy's night together, Prue finds out she is pregnant, with Andy's child! Now Prue must face going through a magical pregnancy and trying to be a single mom. Sure her sisters, brother-in-laws, and nieces will be there for her but nothing can replace a husband and a father for her child.

The Halliwell sisters have decided to take their children out of public school, starting this year. Pearl, Phiona, & Pam now go to a small school, taught by, The Star Coven. Not only do they learn what they would normally learn, but they also are taught how to use their powers, the history of magic, and they can interact with magical children their own age. Pearl, Phiona, Pam, and Pandora are the Blessed Ones; the most powerful good witches that exist, as of this time period. But then a young teenage girl shows up at the door of the Halliwell Manor. Everyone finds out that Phoebe had kept not only a secret in New York, but a daughter! The daughter that she and the evil witch James Kline had together, when Phoebe was 19-years-old. Her daughter's name is Persia Patty Halliwell and has the power of electrokinesis; the ability to create and control electricity. She is very powerful. Then Piper discovers some shocking news. She's pregnant again! Her mother, Patty, comes to her and tells her that her unborn child is half of a prophecy, called 'The Children Of Light'. Persia is the other half. Together, both girls rival the Blessed Ones in power. Piper had her and Leo's second daughter and names her Prissandra Leona Wyatt.

The Children Of Light
Chapter 1: Hart And Soul
Piper Wyatt carried her 1½-year-old into her room and laid her down on the changing table. Messy diapers. She thought, as she wrinkled her nose and the nasty smell. "Definitely not one of the perks to parenthood." She muttered, as she tossed the dirty diaper into the diaper bin. Then she cleaned Prissandra up and put her into a fresh diaper. "There we go, sweetie! All is good!"
Prissandra Wyatt giggled happily and wiggled her fingers and toes.
"Let's go get you a bottle, missy." Piper said. She picked up her youngest daughter and walked out of her room, down the hall, down the stairs, and into the kitchen.
Paige Belland glanced up from her laptop. "Hey Piper. What's up?"
"Feeding time. I needed to grab a bottle from the fridge. You?" Piper responded, as she pulled a bottle from the fridge and then walked over and took a seat next to her baby sister.
"Just surfin' the web." Paige replied, as she clicked onto a new site.
Piper supported Prissandra and then placed the bottle into the baby's mouth. "Anything interesting?"
Prissandra grasped the bottle with both hand and sucked from the bottle like there was no tomorrow.
"Not really." Paige replied. She scooted her chair closer to Piper and reached down to tickle Prissandra's neck with her fingers.
Prissandra twitched her nose.
"Oh! Maybe she'll be the next Tabitha?" Paige said, as she reffered to Samantha Stephens' daughter on the hit T.V. show, 'Bewitched'.
"Shh! I don't want my daughter to think it's okay to turn her friends into butterflies." Piper scolded, as she thought of the episode where Tabitha turned her friend into a butterfly and then Samantha had to run around trying to find the 'butterfly', so she could reverse the magic.
Paige laughed. "You wouldn't do that, would you?"
Prissandra dropped the empty bottle.
Paige held out her hand and the bottle orbed into her hand, instead of dropping to the floor. Her power had been growing and she'd been able to control telekinetically orbing things without calling for them lately. She placed the bottle on the table and smiled.
Prissandra giggled.
"Yes! You're a good little witch, aren't you? A goody two slippers!" Paige said, as she reffered to the ruby slippers from 'The Wizard Of Oz'.
Prissandra giggled again.
Leo Wyatt orbed in, holding a limp woman's body.
"Whoa! What the heck is going on?!" Piper exclaimed.
"We have problems!" Leo said, as he gently laid the limp woman's body on the kitchen floor.
"Yeah, I would say so! We have a dead woman's body on our kitchen floor!" Piper said.
"She's not dead, Piper. Her soul was removed from her body and if we can't get her soul back in her body soon, she'll die." Leo said.
"Who is she? Where's her soul? Who did this? And how do we fix it?" Paige blurted out.
"This is Mary Hart. She's a future whitelighter, but she was attacked by a Soul Hound. A Sould Hound is a specific breed of demon that looks for creatures with the purest souls that they can find, then they have the power to separate the soul from the body of the creature. If the soul isn't returned to the body within fourty-eight hours, then the body dies, and the Soul Hound gets to feed off the soul. The purer the soul, the stronger the Soul Hound becomes." Leo filled in.
"And since Mary is a future whitelighter, her soul must be pretty pure?" Paige filled in.
"Exactly." Leo replied.
"How long has her soul be out of her body?" Piper asked.
"Thirty-eight hours. We just found her." Leo said.
"That means we have ten hours." Paige said, as she did her mental math. "How do we find these, Soul Hound things?"
Cole Turner shimmered in. "I just found out that a breed of demons called Sould Hounds have been setting off a lot of attacks lately."
"Waaay ahead of ya, Cole." Piper said. She stood up and switched Prissandra in her arms. She nodded her head towards Mary. "Our latest victim."
"You don't und..." Cole was cut off.
Prudence Halliwell, Prue for short, came running into the room. "Guess what!" She jumped up, excitedly. "I'm getting a raise, since my photo shoots have been so good lately! This means more flexible work hours!" She grinned. She walked over to Paige, still not noticing the frowns on the faces of everyone in the room. "Well?" She asked.
A demon flared into the room, before anyone could say a word.
"A Sould Hound!" Cole yelled, as he charged up an energy ball and threw it at the demon.
The Soul Hound dodged the energy ball and waved his hands, flinging a neon purple ball of color at Paige.
Prue grabbed Paige's arm to push her out of the way.
Cole ran at Prue, grabbing her shoulder, to keep her out of the path of the purple ball. The purple light ball hit him. He was still holding onto Prue and was still hand her hand on Paige.
Prissandra waved her tiny hands and a blinding light filled the room. When the light cleared, Cole and the 2 youngest Halliwell sisters were on the floor. Prissandra held out her tiny hand and sent a laser type beam at the Soul Hound, vanquishing him. She giggled and clapped her hands together.
"Prue! Couldn't you see that we were busy?!" Piper scolded.
"I didn't know! I was just excited about my new job!" Cole responded, defensively, as he got up.
"Cole, I was talking to Prue....Wait a minute! Prue?!" Piper gaped, as she stared at Cole.
TO BE CONTINUED....
A/N: I know, this isn't my best work, but I think that it gets a little better after these initial chapters.
