Chapter 1
An energy ball zooms by as Piper dodges it. Paige orbs it and sends it back killing a demon but there is still several more. Piper blows up half a dozen with a blast while Phoebe is fighting off the flying demons with her levitating/kick boxing moves. 14yr. Old Whi-et froze some demons and let others get close to him before he put up his defensive shield, which blasted them away. 10yr. Old Melinda was standing side by side with her mother Piper helping to blow up the demons. "They just keep coming!" said phoebe, "We can't go on like this!" "On three" said Piper "One, two, THREE!" "The power of three will set us free" the sisters said at the same time. All of the demons vanished and they were safe for now. "Leo! Leo where are you?" cried Piper wanting to know what the hell was going on. "Dad?" said Melinda. Leo orbed in right behind Piper. "Sorry, the other elders and I were having a meeting. What's up?" he said. "Oh, nothing much, except we were getting our ass kicked by a horde of demons. Any idea why?" said an irritated Whi-et. "You watch your mouth mister. The reason they attacked is because of the ancient writings." Leo responded. "What ancient writings?" said Paige. "Ones written by witches of the past. This month will be the time when all good witches loose power of their extra spells and such. You will still have your basic powers but the power of three will not exist during the month. They have a different way of keeping track of things and first the elders thought it was only a day, fifteen years ago when Whi-et was born. They were wrong and had to read them more and found that it lasted a month and starts tomorrow." told Leo. They all stood in silence letting the news sink in. "Th-there must be a counter-spell in the Book-of-Shadows or something. . . "stuttered Phoebe. "Afraid not Phoebe, you won't even be able to use the Book except to look up demon's and things. Potions won't brew and spells won't work." said Leo.
"We could make up the potions now and hope we have enough to last the month," said Melinda. "No, that won't work either. How would you preserve them? And think of how many different potions there are. You could easily get them confused." Said Leo. All this time Piper stood silent, thinking. "Leo, will all of the demon's have their powers?" she said. "Yes. They will be slightly weaker but not enough to make a difference." "Hmmm. Sounds like a more normal life don't you think? No spells, or potions. The occasional demon to blow up but that's not a big deal. . . Phoebe and Jason can finally go on a honeymoon where they won't be interrupted for a power of three spell and Paige can have more time to date. . . doesn't sound to bad to me so what's all of the fuss?" said Piper.
