Ch. 1 : Blood for Blood

Darkness rained in the Halliwell manor. It was 11:00 pm, and Phoebe and Paige had went to bed. Piper however sat in the attic looking

through the book of shadows. Her heart raced in anticipation of finding a way to kill Shax. Finally half way, was a potion to destroy him .

" Alright, you son of a bitch...your ass is mine."

Piper quickly writes the potion down. Then closes the book and walks down stairs. Turning a dim light on, she gets out a small cooking pot.

quickly, she fills it with water and brings it to a boil. then gathers the ingredients. Tossing them in, she stirs the mixture. Then seven minutes

later it is finished. Getting a glass, she pours the blue potion in. Then drinks the whole thing. Suddenly Piper feels a surge of power enter her

body. A loud sound echos, sending Phoebe and Paige running in. Phoebe begins speaking, frightened.

" Piper, what in hell happened ? !

" I made a potion. I drank it and now I can kill Shax."

Horrified at Piper's actions, Phoebe yells for Leo. He appears worried.

" Piper...I seen you. This isn't right."

" Leo stay out of this ! He killed Prue, and now I will kill him !"

" Piper if you're this determined, I can't stop you. Niether can your sisters."

Both Phoebe and Paige look at him angrily. Leo disappears. Piper goes running out the door and Phoebe and Paige try to catch her.

However they can't and go inside feeling helpless.

Piper speeds to an empty field. She gets out and stands looking down.

" Shax ! Come forth ! Show yourself !"

Suddenly Shax appears smiling evilly. He throws a bolt but Piper is quick and he misses. Then throws another striking Piper to the ground

She quickly recovers in a fury. Her hands blast out a surge of power., sending Shax flying in the air. Then she blasts another power surge, an

Shax is struck dead instantly. Glorified, as Piper watch his body burst into flames. Leo, Phoebe, and Paige appear. All of them are in shock. Not

a one of them know what to say. Almost afraid to.

Without a word, Leo and Paige orb them back to the manor. There stands an elder, with a look of solitude. He walks over to Piper and speaks to her.

" Well Piper, you managed to do what none has done before. Which makes you the most powerful witch. Do you realize what this means ?"

" No, what ?"

" You receive all the powers a witch can have. The ability to bring back the dead, and undo the past."

" Does this mean..."

" Yes Piper. Prue can be revived, but at a cost...you must give up Paige as a charmed one."

All three sisters gulped.

" Will it be like we never met her ?"

" Yes Piper. Later, destiny will bring you together."

Paige spoke in a raspy voice.

" Do it Piper. Prue was here first. Don't turn this chance down. Do this for you and Phoebe..."

" But Paige..."

" No, Piper. Do it, I refuse to let you not. It's the right thing to do."

" Are...are you...sure Paige ? I can't reverse it."

" Yes I'm sure Piper. Please just do it."

" Ok Paige."

Piper takes a deep breath as a light enters her. Then sadly shoots a light at Paige. The clock and calendar go back. May 20th 2001.

Prue walks in the hospital room smiling, at Piper who is laying on the bed watching TV.

" Hi Piper sweetie. How you doing today ?"

" Good Prue. Phoebe brought me lunch earlier. Then went back to class."

" Oh that's nice. Has the doctor been in ?"

" Yeah. If I'm doing ok, I can go home tomorrow."

" That's great Piper."
