Something Wicked This Way Comes

Chapter One

Piper, Phoebe and Paige Halliwell stood in a dark ally in front of several demons.

"When will you ever give up?" Piper asked. "You should know by know that these random attacks are just a waste of time!"

As if to answer several energy balls were thrown at The Charmed Ones.

"ENERGY BALL!" Paige shouted. The energy balls orbed to her and she threw them back to their owners, vanquishing most of them.

"Power of three?" Phoebe asked her sister and they nodded. The three sister joined hands and shouted the spell.

The Power of Three Will Set Us Free

The Power of Three Will Set Us Free

The Power of Three Will Set Us Free

The demons screamed in pain and exploded.

"Well, that was easy enough," Paige said. Suddenly she and her sisters herd a suddenly clip-like sound. They turned in time to see three female demons, each holding a pair of succors in one hand, and a lock of the girl's hair in the other shimmer away.

"What the Hell!" Piper screamed. "Demonic Hair Cutters!"

"I'm afraid it's worst then that," Phoebe sighted, remembering the time a demon stole a lock of her hair to use in a body switching spell. "We've got to find them, and stop them, fast!"

The three demons shimmered in to a large cave. The walls were lined with lit torches, in the center stood an alter, with several different herbs, potions, and tools on sit, and next to the alter sat a large, stone, black, caldron, which was bubbling with a potion.

Suddenly a Dark Priest appeared. He wore a long red robe, with a hood attached, which he used to cover the top of his head.

"Did you get the hairs?" He asked the three demons in a hiss.

"Yes." One of the demons said. She and her companions held out the hairs and the Dark Priest took them.

"Are you absolutely sure these are theirs?" He asked.

"Positive," Another demon replied.

"Perfect," The Dark Priest laughed and dropped the three locks of hair in to the bubbling caldron. "Soon we'll be unstoppable! This spell will turn the Charmed Ones evil and then we can use them to take the underworld." He mixed several herbs and potions in the caldron with the hairs and the three demons waited. "Now, for the bodies!"

"Bodies?" The last demon asked.

The Dark Priest held out his hand and an anthem flew to him. In one quick movement he slashed the wrist of all three of the female demons.

"You bastard!" They shouted and tried to throw fire balls at the Dark Priest, yet he just deflected them. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the three female demons flew in to the caldron, which let out a blast of black smoke and a loud boom.

Then the Dark Priest chanted:

Magic forces dark and light,

Switch their side in this night,

Piper, Phoebe and Paige,

Release their evil from the cage!

Pravus capio lenis,

Abeo venustas unus Pravus!

BOOM!

There was a flash of black light and smoke.

When the smoke cleared the caldron was gone. In its place stood Piper, Phoebe and Paige.

The Dark Priest laughed.
