future? Who gets married & who has kids? This story is set 6 years in the
future and all 3 of the sisters powers have grown.
LIST OF POWERS in 6 Years
PIPER- Can "freeze" everything, not just the room she's in. She still has her exploding power but it is much more powerful. She can also manipulate molecules to reverse & speed time only by a matter of minutes but this power still has no affect on witches.
PHOEBE-Has the power of premonition, but she doesn't have to touch an object. In the future she can will a premonition. Her power of levitation has grown to were she can fly short distances. Also she can channel her premonition power to produce physical energy that can be lethal. (See Morality Bites) .
PAIGE- Can orb at further distances and with more people. Her orbing & teleorbing powers can be combined whereas she can orb people in without touching them & call for objects with or without seeing the object. In addition to "calling" for an object she can move them telekinetically the way Prue could. She also has the full power to heal.
WYATT- Has all of Piper's powers & Leo's Powers at much higher levels even as a 6 year old. Can also manipulate time & space such as an Avatar can. He can erect a shield that is impervious to most magic.
LEO- Is still an ELDER and comes around every now & again for guidance.

Scene 1 The Manor
Piper got up early. In fact she couldn't sleep. She had been up all morning cleaning just to pass the time and was surprised that Phoebe, Glenn, or Paige hadn't awaken due to all the noise she was making. Since they took Wyatt this was a normal routine for her and she knew it was for his own good, & also for his future protection. But why did they have to take him at such a young age? Piper thought. And also he had been "up there" for almost 4 months a she was growing more & more impatient. The Elder that came to visit only 4 months before said Wyatt would be with them for 6 months. Piper remembered how hard it was for her to let him go, but after Leo convinced her that it was for his own good. She reluctantly gave in. Piper continued with her thoughts as she walked into the kitchen. She went to the sink & grabbed lemon furniture polish from the cabinet under the sink. She then went into the dining room, sprayed the table, & began to dust it. She thought more about that day, how Wyatt was very excited about leaving. And how she hid her feelings so that he wouldn't have any second thoughts about going. I mean a part of her was very proud of the fact that her child was personally being trained by The Elders and would someday become a very powerful Source of Good. But why couldn't she shake this feeling? She kept asking herself if she made the right decision by letting him go. And why was she not allowed to see him nor talk to him. Leo did explain to her that seeing him during this training process was forbidden. Forbibben, Piper mumbled as she placed the centerpiece on the table and went into the sitting room and started to dust the mantle. She picked up the picture of herself holding Wyatt soon after he was born and dusted it. She picked up the family picture of herself, Leo, & Wyatt and began to sob. She sat on the couch eyeing the picture when she heard footsteps descending the stairs. She wiped away her tears and continued to clean as if nothing happened. She looked over at the clock and realized that it was now 10:45AM. She had been up for almost 5 hours now. Piper noticed that it was Glenn that was coming down the stairs.
Glenn was wearing a pair of pajama bottoms and nothing else. This is how he usually dressed & Piper & Phoebe were now used to it.
Glenn- Morning Piper
Piper- Hey, Glenn! Piper said as she wiped her tears away. Where's Paige?
Glenn- She should be on her way downstairs in a minute, she is having morning sickness again. Glenn said as he went into the kitchen
Piper followed Glen into the kitchen, as she was about to prepare breakfast.
Glenn- So what's on the menu today? Glenn said as he sat down at the kitchen table then started to shuffle through the paper trying to find the sports section.
Piper- How about pancakes & sausage! Piper said as she walked toward over to the pantry.
While there she grabbed a box pancakes then returned to the area of the kitchen were Glenn was.
Glenn- "That sounds great! Glenn said hungrily, but I don't know how Paige will feel about it".
Piper laughed at that comment.
Piper- Paige has spent so much time in the restroom, I have been thinking about getting her mail forwarded there.
Piper grabbed a bowl and started mixing the pancake batter.
Glenn- I agree with you on that one, boggles my mind how much time she spends in there.
Piper and Glen began laughing very hard thinking about the amount of time that Paige has spent in the bathroom since she has been pregnant. The two had a very good relationship. In the beginning she tried to persuade Paige not to marry him because he was recently divorced to Jessica when he proposed. However since Paige & Glenn had been married she had come to think of him as a little brother. She also liked the fact that they didn't have to hide from him the fact that they were all witches. And Piper really felt a lot better since Glenn had come downstairs. She loved his company. She also didn't mind cooking for him cause it helped her to keep her mind off the fact that she had 2 months until Wyatt would be home. As Piper put the finishing touches on breakfast Paige walked in looking like she had spent all night fighting demons.
Paige- Morning guys! Paige said as she scratched in her already mangled hair
Piper- Morning sweetie, You hungry? Piper said trying to not let on that they were talking about Paige.
It had come to be her experience that since Paige had been pregnant she was prone to crying outbursts. And Piper was feeling all too fine about having two sisters getting emotional in the same morning.
Paige-Heck no. Paige said & burped at the thought of eating food. She sat at the table next to Glenn and put her head on his chest.
Glenn-Morning honey, how's my favorite girl doing"? Glenn said as he and pulled her face to his and kissed her.
Paige-You mean you didn't hear all of that vomiting I was doing?
Glenn-Actually I did! The question was rhetorical!
Glenn looked at Piper and the two of them shared a smile.
Paige- I swear I think this baby is trying to make me bulimic. I can't keep anything down lately. Paige shuffled through paper for her favorite section, the comics.
Piper- Don't be silly! That is perfectly normal. Piper said as she piled the sausage & pancakes on a platter and placed them on the table. Enjoy!
Glenn- I could eat a horse! Glenn began to scoop mounds of food onto his plate
Paige looked at the food and began to feel queasy. Glenn continued to eat vigorously. And Paige just stared at him & she started to feel bile rising in her throat.
Paige-I think I am going to be sick! Paige said as she put her hand over her mouth.
Piper-Not in here! Piper said getting hysterical as she searched for something Paige could use as a barf bag.
Glenn stopped eating & covered Paige's mouth as to stop her from vomiting.
Glenn- Hurry up Piper, she gonna blow! Glen said, Still covering Paige's mouth .
Piper continued to look around the kitchen for something.
Piper- I can't find anything, Paige orb yourself to the restroom! Piper said frantically.
Not being able to hold it in any longer, Paige vomited all over the table & on the platter of food that Piper just prepared.
Piper- Gross! Piper said disgusted.
Paige sat there looking like a kid who just broke her mother's favorite record.
Paige-I'm sorry, I couldn't help it! Looking as if she wanted to cry.
Glenn & Piper looked down at the mess and Piper felt as if she was going continue where Paige left off.
Glenn-Don't worry sweetie, we understand! Glen said to Paige comfortingly.
Paige continued to look embarrassed at as if she was going to cry, but before she could. Glenn looked at Piper.
Glenn- Can you fix this? Glenn said knowing that Piper could reverse time.
Piper looked at Paige and studied the look she had on her face & it kind of reminded her of how she felt early this morning when she was in deep thought about Wyatt.
Piper-Sure! Why not, I fix everything else in this house. Piper said as she waved her hands in a circular motion and then everything began to change.
Since Paige is a witch Glenn was the only one in the room affected by the changes. The mess did reverse itself & Paige had to use telekinesis to avoid it spilling back in her face. Paige channeled the mess with her hands into the part of the sink that wasn't being used. Then used her power to turn on the water. Glenn was moving in reverse as if he was in a movie and someone pushed rewind. When Piper was satisfied that everything was as it should be she waved her hands in the opposite direction. Glenn then started to move back into the place he was before Piper engaged her power. At that precise moment Piper clapped her hands together and time started moving normally. Paige then used her power to shut off the water.
Glenn-Thank god for small miracles!
Paige- You can say that again!
Next Scene: The Manor Later that Day
Phoebe was in the attic thumbing through the Book of Shadows. She had awakened from a nightmare and felt herself fixated on the demon that was in her dream. He was attacking an "innocent" and she knew that it was a warning that they had to save them. She used to have mainly tactile touch premonitions, now it seemed that most of the warnings of innocents needing saved, manifested themselves from her dreams & daydreams. She remembered the days in which she had to touch an object to get a vision and laughed. Those days were gone. She no longer had to tough an object to get visions. She wondered if Grams had never bound their powers how strong they could all be, maybe even more powerful. There he is! Phoebe thought to herself. In looking at the pages she saw that he was the Demon of Lust and it said that a simple potion of his flesh would be enough to vanquish him. Phoebe was now bored with the typical Upper Level Demons and wanted something that was a challenge. For they had defeated many stronger than the normal Upper Level Demon. She continued to read/record the ingredients needed for the vanquishing potion when she thought about her family. She thought of how happy Glenn & Paige were and it reminded her of when she and Cole were together and her marriage to Jason Dean. When she first met Jason Dean she thought that she had finally found happiness. He treated her with such kindness & he did anything for her. But as good as he was to her. He wasn't Cole. In the beginning she thought that those feelings would go away, but in the 2nd year of the marriage she knew that she still loved Cole. She had also found herself running out of family emergencies as to why she had to leave in the middle of the night and Jason became frustrated. She had cast the Truth Spell as many Haliwell women had, and found that Jason could not accept the fact that she was a witch. But her initial love for him made her accept his marriage proposal & she decided that she would keep her Wiccan heritage a secret from him. They divorced over 8months ago and Jason gave her ownership of The Paper, & Phoebe walked away a very rich woman. She chose to live in the manor because her family was there, & she needed them for support. Now she felt the needed to throw herself more into her witchly duties since Paige was now pregnant. Phoebe then thought of Piper and how she was the strongest of the three. Piper had taken the position of "lead witch" and Phoebe was very proud of her strength. When Prue first died Piper had a hard time adjusting to be being the oldest and taking the lead. But those days were also over. Piper was a very strong witch and most factions that were evil feared her powers. She sympathized with Piper when Leo left to become an Elder. And when Chris the "white lighter" they sent to replace Leo had turned out to be a Warlock who killed a white lighter and stole its powers. They all banded together to destroy him. She remembered it took all of their powers combined and Wyatt's to vanquish Chris. But that was 6 years ago. And Wyatt though very mature for his age, was "up there" with The Elders, & with a father he had barley known. Phoebe could hear voices & she recognized them as Glenn & Paige's on floor below her. She couldn't help being envious of their relationship. But she loved to see Paige finally happy. She heard the voices get closer & saw Paige & Glenn walk into the attic holding hands.
Paige- Did you find it?
Phoebe-Yep, Says here that he is the demon of LUST. All we need is a slither of skin to vanquish him. But I suppose you already knew that. Phoebe said sarcastically.
Glenn- Phoebe are you ok?
Paige-Yeah Phoebe what's been eating you lately, talk to us.
Paige grabbed Phoebe's hand escorted her away from the book and onto the couch they had in the attic. Glen followed.
Glenn- Yeah Phoebe's spill your guts! You have been scaring me lately.
Phoebe smiled at Glenn. And proceeded to tell him & Paige them what was on her mind. Phoebe told them about everything that was bothering her. How she still loved Cole. How she was tired of the routine demon attacks. How she wanted something more challenging. And most of all how she wanted to love again.
Paige-I know Demon hunting can't boring but as soon as you get yourself out in the dating scene again, you won't feel that way anymore.
Glenn-And don't worry, you are a very beautiful lady, when you are ready I am sure that you'll be beating them off with a stick.
Phoebe- Thanks guys, But I am not ready to open that can of worms just yet! Phoebe said as she thought of Cole. I just have some issues that I need to resolve first. But I will be fine.
Glenn- Well we are here if you need us! I know that I don't have powers. But I am the man of the house & want to protect you girls.
Paige looks at Phoebe and back at Glenn & the two burst out in laughter.
Phoebe-Sorry Glenn, but being a male doesn't give you much weight in this house. Phoebe continues laughing. But thanks anyway!
Paige-Yeah Glenn females rule the manor! Paige said flexing her biceps jokingly.
Glenn- Well excuuuuuuse me! Glenn said sarcastically not offended by their comments.
Next Scene Manor Attic Phoebe, Piper, Paige
Piper-Paige are you sure that Glenn is downstairs, we don't want him bursting in here again trying to play Superman.
Paige-That was over 2 years ago, all this domestic demon stuff was still new to him. Phoebe how's it coming on your end?
Phoebe was placing crystals on floor all in a circular pattern.
Phoebe-Check! Do your thang girl! Phoebe said anxiously awaiting what was to come.
Piper- Ok Paige it's all up to you!
Paige-Here goes nothing.
Phoebe-You can say that again! This is getting ever so predictable.
Paige took a stance in the middle of the floor and held out her hands.
Paige- DEMON OF LUST!
Tiny blue orbs appeared and constituted themselves into The Demon of LUST a he appeared in the attic, right in front of Paige. Phoebe ran over to him and sliced a piece of skin from his arm. He tried throwing an energy ball at Phoebe who levitated, hovered, and retaliated with an electric burst of her own. This knocked the demon onto the floor. When he finally arose to his feet. Paige used telekinesis to move him into the crystal pattern. The energy from the crystals engulfed him creating a cage around him. Phoebe descended from the air with the flesh still her hand. She walked over to Piper who was still mixing the pot of ingredients & dropped the flesh into the pot. The mixture exploded, which indicated that it was ready. Piper took a turkey bestir and soaked the potion from the pot into a small vile. Piper then placed the vile on the table & the three witches took their position around the crystal cage .
Demon of LUST-Why did you summon me?
Phoebe- Because I had a vision that you were going to kill an innocent . You didn't think we were going to let that happen . DID YOU?
Phoebe looked the demon with a tremendous hate when she uttered these words. She used her power and threw another electric burst that the cage enclosing the demon. The demon screamed out loudly in pain.
Demon of LUST- Let me out of here you WITCH!
Phoebe threw another electric burst. And the demon continued to scream out in agony!
Piper-Ok, Paige throw the potion.
Paige-POTION!
The portion orbed into Paige's hand.
Phoebe-Wait. Let's have fun with him first!
Piper and Paige looked at Phoebe and she had the look of a fat kid who had just been locked in a bakery overnight.
Paige-Phoebe well the hell is the matter with you?
Piper-No time for that now. Paige, throw the potion!
Paige used her power of telekinesis and hurled the potion toward the demon. The potion hit the demon and he exploded in a ball of flames.
Phoebe-DAMN!
Piper-Phoebe what are you trying to pull?
Phoebe-I just wanted to prolong the experience! Obviously upset that she couldn't torture the demon longer.
Paige-Piper, Phoebe is getting bored with routine vanquishes.
Piper-You have got to be kidding me. Phoebe, Paige is pregnant. Pulling stunts like that could endanger her & her baby. I mean are you thinking about that when you are running around like Commando?
Phoebe- I never intended on anything getting out of hand. I didn't even think.
Piper-That's right you didn't!
Paige-Piper! Ease up on Phoebe. She has been through a lot in the last couple of months. You can't blame her for taking her inner demons out on a couple of regular demons. I seem to remember you went through a similar ordeal when Prue died. Do the Harpies ring a bell?
Piper-Don't remind me! Piper looked over at Phoebe. I am sorry Phoebes. I know that you are having a hard time adjusting since your divorce.
Phoebe-Don't mention it. I "have" been kind of high-strung lately. I just want to kick some demon ass! That is the only thing that gets my mind off my relationship failures. But I promise that when I am doing that I will put our safety first. Especially since we have a mortal in the house.
Piper-That is all I ask, we have other people to think about now.
Paige-Ok enough of that. Give me a hug!
Paige motioned for Piper & Phoebe. And the two of the walked over to her & the three sisters began to embrace. Glenn watched them & had seen everything that took place beginning with Paige "calling" for the demon.
Glenn- Is everything OK? Glenn acted as if he wasn't just watching the events unfold.
Piper-I thought we told you to wait downstairs, what if the demon was still here. Glenn you could've been killed. These rules are for your safety, we can't risk a demon hurting you.
Paige-She's right honey, I don't know I would do if something happened to you.
Glenn-Sweetie even if something happened to me, you could heal me. So I don't understand what the big deal is. I feel inferior cause my wife & my sisters are always in danger, but I am powerless to help.
Phoebe-Awe that so sweet! Glenn I remember I used to feel the same way when I didn't have an active power.
Glenn-And what did you do?
Phoebe-I started taking Martial Arts, & I learned to kick some serious demon ass.
Glenn- Ok its settled then, I am going to enroll in Martial Arts, because if anything happens. I want to know that I can still protect my family.
Glenn left the attic determined that he was no longer going to be in the other room when it's Vanquishing Time.
Paige- Thanks abunch Phoebes! Paige said to Phoebe sarcastically
Phoebe- What did I do?
Piper-Don't act like you don't know, you basically just told Glenn that if he took Martial Arts that he could fight alongside us.
Phoebe-No I didn't. I just let him know how I coped with having an non- active power for so long.
Paige- But Phoebe even without having an active power, you were still a Charmed One, which means you were always protected by your powers. Glenn would be just another mortal that knows Martial Arts.
Phoebe- He'll be fine.
Piper-You better hope so!
OK! This is the end of Chapter ONE. Read & review & let me know what you think.

Glenn- Morning Piper
Piper- Hey, Glenn! Piper said as she wiped her tears away. Where's Paige?
Glenn- She should be on her way downstairs in a minute, she is having morning sickness again. Glenn said as he went into the kitchen
Piper followed Glen into the kitchen, as she was about to prepare breakfast.
Glenn- So what's on the menu today? Glenn said as he sat down at the kitchen table then started to shuffle through the paper trying to find the sports section.
Piper- How about pancakes & sausage! Piper said as she walked toward over to the pantry.
While there she grabbed a box pancakes then returned to the area of the kitchen were Glenn was.

Paige- I swear I think this baby is trying to make me bulimic. I can't keep anything down lately. Paige shuffled through paper for her favorite section, the comics.
Piper- Don't be silly! That is perfectly normal. Piper said as she piled the sausage & pancakes on a platter and placed them on the table. Enjoy!
Glenn- I could eat a horse! Glenn began to scoop mounds of food onto his plate
Paige looked at the food and began to feel queasy. Glenn continued to eat vigorously. And Paige just stared at him & she started to feel bile rising in her throat.
Paige-I think I am going to be sick! Paige said as she put her hand over her mouth.
Piper-Not in here! Piper said getting hysterical as she searched for something Paige could use as a barf bag.
Glenn stopped eating & covered Paige's mouth as to stop her from vomiting.
Glenn- Hurry up Piper, she gonna blow! Glen said, Still covering Paige's mouth .
Piper continued to look around the kitchen for something.
Piper- I can't find anything, Paige orb yourself to the restroom! Piper said frantically.
Not being able to hold it in any longer, Paige vomited all over the table & on the platter of food that Piper just prepared.
Piper- Gross! Piper said disgusted.
Paige sat there looking like a kid who just broke her mother's favorite record.
Paige-I'm sorry, I couldn't help it! Looking as if she wanted to cry.
Glenn & Piper looked down at the mess and Piper felt as if she was going continue where Paige left off.
Glenn-Don't worry sweetie, we understand! Glen said to Paige comfortingly.
Paige continued to look embarrassed at as if she was going to cry, but before she could. Glenn looked at Piper.
Glenn- Can you fix this? Glenn said knowing that Piper could reverse time.
Piper looked at Paige and studied the look she had on her face & it kind of reminded her of how she felt early this morning when she was in deep thought about Wyatt.
Piper-Sure! Why not, I fix everything else in this house. Piper said as she waved her hands in a circular motion and then everything began to change.
Since Paige is a witch Glenn was the only one in the room affected by the changes. The mess did reverse itself & Paige had to use telekinesis to avoid it spilling back in her face. Paige channeled the mess with her hands into the part of the sink that wasn't being used. Then used her power to turn on the water.

Next Scene: The Manor Later that Day
Phoebe was in the attic thumbing through the Book of Shadows. She had awakened from a nightmare and felt herself fixated on the demon that was in her dream. He was attacking an "innocent" and she knew that it was a warning that they had to save them. She used to have mainly tactile touch premonitions, now it seemed that most of the warnings of innocents needing saved, manifested themselves from her dreams & daydreams.

Phoebe was now bored with the typical Upper Level Demons and wanted something that was a challenge. For they had defeated many stronger than the normal Upper Level Demon. She continued to read/record the ingredients needed for the vanquishing potion when she thought about her family. She thought of how happy Glenn & Paige were and it reminded her of when she and Cole were together and her marriage to Jason Dean. When she first met Jason Dean she thought that she had finally found happiness. He treated her with such kindness & he did anything for her. But as good as he was to her. He wasn't Cole. In the beginning she thought that those feelings would go away, but in the 2nd year of the marriage she knew that she still loved Cole. She had also found herself running out of family emergencies as to why she had to leave in the middle of the night and Jason became frustrated.

She chose to live in the manor because her family was there, & she needed them for support. Now she felt the needed to throw herself more into her witchly duties since Paige was now pregnant. Phoebe then thought of Piper and how she was the strongest of the three. Piper had taken the position of "lead witch" and Phoebe was very proud of her strength. When Prue first died Piper had a hard time adjusting to be being the oldest and taking the lead. But those days were also over. Piper was a very strong witch and most factions that were evil feared her powers. She sympathized with Piper when Leo left to become an Elder. And when Chris the "white lighter" they sent to replace Leo had turned out to be a Warlock who killed a white lighter and stole its powers. They all banded together to destroy him. She remembered it took all of their powers combined and Wyatt's to vanquish Chris. But that was 6 years ago. And Wyatt though very mature for his age, was "up there" with The Elders, & with a father he had barley known. Phoebe could hear voices & she recognized them as Glenn & Paige's on floor below her. She couldn't help being envious of their relationship. But she loved to see Paige finally happy. She heard the voices get closer & saw Paige & Glenn walk into the attic holding hands.
Paige- Did you find it?
Phoebe-Yep, Says here that he is the demon of LUST. All we need is a slither of skin to vanquish him. But I suppose you already knew that. Phoebe said sarcastically.
Glenn- Phoebe are you ok?
Paige-Yeah Phoebe what's been eating you lately, talk to us.
Paige grabbed Phoebe's hand escorted her away from the book and onto the couch they had in the attic. Glen followed.
Glenn- Yeah Phoebe's spill your guts! You have been scaring me lately.
Phoebe smiled at Glenn. And proceeded to tell him & Paige them what was on her mind. Phoebe told them about everything that was bothering her. How she still loved Cole. How she was tired of the routine demon attacks. How she wanted something more challenging. And most of all how she wanted to love again.
Paige-I know Demon hunting can't boring but as soon as you get yourself out in the dating scene again, you won't feel that way anymore.
Glenn-And don't worry, you are a very beautiful lady, when you are ready I am sure that you'll be beating them off with a stick.
Phoebe- Thanks guys, But I am not ready to open that can of worms just yet! Phoebe said as she thought of Cole. I just have some issues that I need to resolve first. But I will be fine.
Glenn- Well we are here if you need us! I know that I don't have powers. But I am the man of the house & want to protect you girls.
Paige looks at Phoebe and back at Glenn & the two burst out in laughter.
Phoebe-Sorry Glenn, but being a male doesn't give you much weight in this house. Phoebe continues laughing. But thanks anyway!
Paige-Yeah Glenn females rule the manor! Paige said flexing her biceps jokingly.
Glenn- Well excuuuuuuse me! Glenn said sarcastically not offended by their comments.
Next Scene Manor Attic Phoebe, Piper, Paige
Piper-Paige are you sure that Glenn is downstairs, we don't want him bursting in here again trying to play Superman.
Paige-That was over 2 years ago, all this domestic demon stuff was still new to him. Phoebe how's it coming on your end?
Phoebe was placing crystals on floor all in a circular pattern.
Phoebe-Check! Do your thang girl! Phoebe said anxiously awaiting what was to come.
Piper- Ok Paige it's all up to you!
Paige-Here goes nothing.
Phoebe-You can say that again! This is getting ever so predictable.
Paige took a stance in the middle of the floor and held out her hands.
Paige- DEMON OF LUST!
Tiny blue orbs appeared and constituted themselves into The Demon of LUST a he appeared in the attic, right in front of Paige. Phoebe ran over to him and sliced a piece of skin from his arm. He tried throwing an energy ball at Phoebe who levitated, hovered, and retaliated with an electric burst of her own. This knocked the demon onto the floor. When he finally arose to his feet. Paige used telekinesis to move him into the crystal pattern. The energy from the crystals engulfed him creating a cage around him. Phoebe descended from the air with the flesh still her hand. She walked over to Piper who was still mixing the pot of ingredients & dropped the flesh into the pot. The mixture exploded, which indicated that it was ready. Piper took a turkey bestir and soaked the potion from the pot into a small vile. Piper then placed the vile on the table & the three witches took their position around the crystal cage .
Demon of LUST-Why did you summon me?
Phoebe- Because I had a vision that you were going to kill an innocent . You didn't think we were going to let that happen . DID YOU?
Phoebe looked the demon with a tremendous hate when she uttered these words. She used her power and threw another electric burst that the cage enclosing the demon. The demon screamed out loudly in pain.
Demon of LUST- Let me out of here you WITCH!
Phoebe threw another electric burst. And the demon continued to scream out in agony!
Piper-Ok, Paige throw the potion.
Paige-POTION!
The portion orbed into Paige's hand.
Phoebe-Wait. Let's have fun with him first!
Piper and Paige looked at Phoebe and she had the look of a fat kid who had just been locked in a bakery overnight.
Paige-Phoebe well the hell is the matter with you?
Piper-No time for that now. Paige, throw the potion!
Paige used her power of telekinesis and hurled the potion toward the demon. The potion hit the demon and he exploded in a ball of flames.
Phoebe-DAMN!
Piper-Phoebe what are you trying to pull?
Phoebe-I just wanted to prolong the experience! Obviously upset that she couldn't torture the demon longer.
Paige-Piper, Phoebe is getting bored with routine vanquishes.
Piper-You have got to be kidding me. Phoebe, Paige is pregnant. Pulling stunts like that could endanger her & her baby. I mean are you thinking about that when you are running around like Commando?
Phoebe- I never intended on anything getting out of hand. I didn't even think.
Piper-That's right you didn't!
Paige-Piper! Ease up on Phoebe. She has been through a lot in the last couple of months. You can't blame her for taking her inner demons out on a couple of regular demons. I seem to remember you went through a similar ordeal when Prue died. Do the Harpies ring a bell?
Piper-Don't remind me! Piper looked over at Phoebe. I am sorry Phoebes. I know that you are having a hard time adjusting since your divorce.
Phoebe-Don't mention it. I "have" been kind of high-strung lately. I just want to kick some demon ass! That is the only thing that gets my mind off my relationship failures. But I promise that when I am doing that I will put our safety first. Especially since we have a mortal in the house.
Piper-That is all I ask, we have other people to think about now.
Paige-Ok enough of that. Give me a hug!
Paige motioned for Piper & Phoebe. And the two of the walked over to her & the three sisters began to embrace. Glenn watched them & had seen everything that took place beginning with Paige "calling" for the demon.
Glenn- Is everything OK? Glenn acted as if he wasn't just watching the events unfold.
Piper-I thought we told you to wait downstairs, what if the demon was still here. Glenn you could've been killed. These rules are for your safety, we can't risk a demon hurting you.
Paige-She's right honey, I don't know I would do if something happened to you.
Glenn-Sweetie even if something happened to me, you could heal me. So I don't understand what the big deal is. I feel inferior cause my wife & my sisters are always in danger, but I am powerless to help.
Phoebe-Awe that so sweet! Glenn I remember I used to feel the same way when I didn't have an active power.
Glenn-And what did you do?
Phoebe-I started taking Martial Arts, & I learned to kick some serious demon ass.
Glenn- Ok its settled then, I am going to enroll in Martial Arts, because if anything happens. I want to know that I can still protect my family.
Glenn left the attic determined that he was no longer going to be in the other room when it's Vanquishing Time.
Paige- Thanks abunch Phoebes! Paige said to Phoebe sarcastically
Phoebe- What did I do?
Piper-Don't act like you don't know, you basically just told Glenn that if he took Martial Arts that he could fight alongside us.
Phoebe-No I didn't. I just let him know how I coped with having an non- active power for so long.
Paige- But Phoebe even without having an active power, you were still a Charmed One, which means you were always protected by your powers. Glenn would be just another mortal that knows Martial Arts.
Phoebe- He'll be fine.
Piper-You better hope so!
OK! This is the end of Chapter ONE. Read & review & let me know what you think.
