Notes:
Piper and Leo's kids = Wyatt, 20 and Melinda, 18 Phoebe's kid = Paris, 18 Paige's kid = Neve, 16
Part One
The girls were in a red beetle car with shopping bags scattered around them. It was Piper's 50th birthday coming up and naturally the girls had delegated the responsibilities, they would take care of the presents. Leaving Wyatt to organise the surprise party at P3. Melinda had arranged all the details even leaving Wyatt's return from Stanford for the weekend a surprise.
Melinda had found convincing her brother easy, but her cousin a different matter. Paris always seemed to be busy with something, most of the time it was partying and setting the social scene at school alight. Neve on the other time had discover that spending time with her boyfriend was much more of an attraction as more people tried to pull her out of the relationship and was thus boycotting family occasions.
"You don't think I went overboard do you?" Melinda asked as they turned into Prescott Street.
"Nah, you only turn 50 once," Paris replied, "Besides its so much fun to ask aunt Piper how she's feeling in turning 50, we've just got to blow it out of proportion."
"Yeah, that's what Wyatt said too! What do you think Neve?"
She looked up from her ring that she had been playing with on her finger. "Yeah, whatever!"
"You could at least pretend to show an interest, I mean its not that hard to pretend. You pretend that you're going to turn things around to your mom all the time!" Paris told her as she turned around to look at her cousin.
"Hey lay off, it's not.." Neve took a sharp intake of breath, holding her sides and cutting her off in mid sentence.
"Are you okay?"
"No, something's wrong, very wrong."
"Oh god!" Melinda exclaimed as she slammed on the breaks.
Paris flung open her door and ran up to the manor or what was left of it. There was glass on the floor, bricks were scattered and ash. Turning over different parts of the ruins she was looking for something, anything.
Melinda ran and joined her cousin, leaving Neve standing frozen next to the car. Melinda eyes started to scan the wreck like an eagle but stopped half way up the steps when she noticed an arm with a black arrow sticking into it.
"No, dad, dad!" Melinda called as she looked at Leo, who had become pale with his energy draining every second she stood there. She had to do something and went pull out the arrow.
"Don't touch it" Leo groaning in a weak voice.
"Well we have to do something, Paris get this arrow!" Melinda called to her cousin who was still looking around the ruins.
"No, its too late, you need to go back!" Leo told her before his spirit left his body. "Thank god you weren't here!"
Melinda looked hopeless at her father. "Okay what the hell does that mean!"
"I've no idea! But we need to think!" Paris told her pacing around, stopping to scream her cousins' name. "Wyatt!"
"Okay, so we're got a darklighters' arrow and a destroyed house that hardly narrows it down. And what are you doing?"
"Looking for the book of shadows!" Paige explained as she went back to turning over bricks again. Her whole life was collapsing in front of her, but there was something inside her telling her if she could find the book everything would be okay. They had to have confidence in it; it was the only thing they had left, hopefully.
Golden orbs started to appear as a tall dark figure appeared. The smile on his face disappeared as he looked in disbelief at his surroundings. "What's happened? Is everyone okay?"
"Well we are," Paris told him picking up some dust and ash, was suddenly thrown into a premonition. Collapsing to her knees when she came out of it. "But we're the only ones, there all dead."
Wyatt picked his cousin up. "We'll fix it!"
Paris shock her head. "You can't heal ashes."
"Well we'll go back, like dad told us too." Melinda said, wrapping her arm around her cousin. "We just need a spell."
"Okay, where's.." Wyatt started but was interrupted by a scream. All the eyes turned down the stars where Neve was battling with a hooded figure. Without a second thought Melinda threw up her arms and stopped time.
"Neve get over here now!" Melinda yelled.
Neve slowly made her way over to the others shaking, look a shade of herself and very pale. Melinda met her at the stairs and tried to comfort her younger cousin.
"Okay Paris, we need to think of a spell." Wyatt told his cousin.
"Got it!" Paris nodded as she wiped her eyes, gulping and stopping to think for a second.
"In this time We must not stay Let us flee To change today."
A silver dust sprinkled over the four young adults as the disappeared and reappeared in the attic of the manor.

Piper turned over in bed as she heard Wyatt cry.
"It's your turn!" She said to her husband.
"Okay, I'm going." He replied, kissing his wife on her forehead but stopped still on hearing a crash come from the attic.
