Something Wicca This Way Comes

Part 1

Pandora look at the damage done to the chandelier as they happen to miss the appointment with the electrician. "This is the third time this happen." Pandora said to Prue who was up on the ladder.

"Well Piper was suppose to be here but obviously she didn't remember." Prue had said, frustrated with her sister

They heard the door open and close, "Prue? Pandora?

"In here, working on the chandelier." Prue said coming down the ladder.

Piper look expectantly at her youngest sister who made a face. Piper winced, realizing Prue was pissed, "Sorry I'm late."

"What else is new?" Prue snap. The younger sisters both prepare themselves for Prudence wrath. "Piper, I would have been here to meet the electrician myself but you know I can't leave the museum until six. I didn't even have time to change."

Piper gave Prue an innocent look, "I just didn't realise how long I was in Chinatown. Did Jeremy call?"

Pandora made a face. Prue eyes narrowed, "No, but he had some roses and a package delivered. What were you doing in Chinatown? I thought that you had an interview in North Beach."

The sisters walk to the table, looking at the things Jeremy bought Piper, "I did but I went to Young Lee market after my interview to get the ingredients for my audition recipe tomorrow."

"So, that wolfgang-puck knock-off didn't hire you then?" Prue question.

"He's an idiot if he didn't." Pandora said looking in Piper grocery bag

Piper smile as she pull out port, "No, but this just may get me the job."

"Jeremy sent you port?" Prue said grabbing the port from Piper

Pandora grab the port from Prue, "You know most boyfriends don't send this much things unless they're guilty about something." Jeremy was a little bit weird. It's almost like he tried too hard. Pandora always had an instinct that something was wrong with him but she didn't want to say anything to her sisters since Piper was so happy.

She was about to open the bottle when Piper grab it from her, "Give me that. This is the ultimate ingredient for my recipe."

"Mm-mmm." Piper spotted the spirit board. "I don't believe it. Tell me that's not our old spirit board?" She said remembering when their mother gave it to them.

"Yeah, I found it in the basement when I was looking for the circuit tester."

Piper read the inscription on the back "To my four beautiful girls. May this give you the light to find the shadows. The power of four will set you free. Love, Mom." The sisters glance at each other remembering their younger selves. "We never did figure out what this inscription meant." Piper said putting the board down.

Prue smirk remembering about her younger rebellious sister, "Well, we should send it to Phoebe. She's so in the dark, maybe a little light will help." Her face became thoughtful as she said, "Maybe give a little light for Pandora so she won't make bad decisions in high school."

Pandora rolled her eyes, "Thanks mom."

"You're always so hard on both of them especially Phoebe." Piper said grabbing her bag and going to her kitchen.

Pandora was the youngest of the four sisters. Prue was the oldest of the four and of course the mother of the group. Piper was the 2nd oldest and she was the one always in the middle. Phoebe was the next sister. She was the wild one. The sister that never listened and wanted to live life to the fullest. Then there was Pandora. The baby of the group. Everyone treated her like she was fragile and that she couldn't handle anything.

Prue rolled her eyes "Piper, she has no vision, no sense of the future."

"Actually Phoebe had gotten a job and a house. I think she's doing pretty good." Pandora said smiling at Prue.

Prue look at Pandora, irritated that she still idolize Phoebe and still talks to her, "Pandora go do your homework. Phoebe always brought trouble and as long as she doesn't come around here there will be no problems for us."

Piper smiled nervously at Pandora who knew she told Phoebe to come over and stay. The Halliwell household will soon be chaotic. Although Pandora purposely didn't cause any trouble she did enjoy a little drama. While the phone rang the sisters knew it was for Piper since Jeremy was the only one to call this late. Pandora stood under the ladder while Prue went up to check it out. Prue let out a small grunt. The chandelier isn't working no matter what. "I don't get it. I have tried everything, there's no reason why the chandelier shouldn't be working."

"Can you tell her?" Piper whisper to Pandora

Pandora turn to her, eyes widen in horror at the suggestion, "You want me to tell Prue? You're kidding right?"

"Pleaseeeee"

Pandora look at Prue who was already frustrated. Prue usually doesn't get mad at Pandora because she was the baby but let's start with something we'll know what Prue will like, "Hey Prue you were right."

Prue look at her sister confused but still smiled, "About what?"

Pandora just stared for a moment before Piper pinched her which really hurt, "Oww...I mean of getting a roommate?"

Prue look suspiciously at her sister. They both were acting strange, "We can rent the room at a reduce rate in exchange for some help around the house. "

Prue picked up the toolbox. Pandora immediately went forward, "Here sis I'll take that from you." She said with a nervous chuckle. Prue gave her the box with a weird look

"Phoebe's good with a wrench." Piper mumble finding the floors pretty interesting.

Prue look at Piper sharply and narrowed her eyes "Phoebe lives in New York."

"Surprise! She doesn't live there anymore." Prue stop and turn around slowly and stared at Pandora.

"Oh"

"What?" You know that thing where they say it's quiet before the storm. Prue was the storm

Pandora couldn't handle the pressure. Her stare. She couldn't help when she blurted out, "Piper said she can move in with here

Prue turn to glare at Piper who can only say, "Surprise" Prue scoff and walk away. Her sisters betraying her was unbelievable.

Piper slap Pandora arm, "OW!" Pandora rub her arm

"Thanks for ratting me out sis."

"That's what happens when you throw me to the wolf." Pandora said grabbing her arm

They continue to the kitchen where Prue was washing her hands, "I could hardly say no. I mean, it's her house too. It was willed to all of us."

"Yeah, months ago and we haven't seen or spoken to her since."

"Well, you haven't spoken to her."

Prue turn around hurt "No, Switzerland, I haven't. Maybe you've forgotten why I'm still mad at her." She then turn to Pandora who was standing behind Piper, "Have you been talking to her too?"

Pandora just look at the ground. Prue scoff, "Unbelievably."

"She's our sister Prue. We can turn away when one of us needs help." Piper defended both of them.

"And this is news? That she constantly needs help? Someone to save her? How long have you guys known about this anyway?"

"A few days, maybe a week-or two."

"Great." Prue tosses the rag aside. "Thanks for sharing. When does she arrive?"

On key the door opens and Phoebe comes, "Surprise! I found the hide-a-key." She said putting her things on the ground walking towards her sister. Ever since she left she's been feeling alone. It was always her and her sisters and now it just her and she couldn't be more than happy to come
back.

"PHOEBE!" Pandora said rushing to her and pulling her into a huge hug, "I miss you so much."

Phoebe hug her tightly and pulled away, "Let me see you. You're so tall and beautiful! I'm jealous!" Pandora blush slightly and pull Phoebe back into a hug

Piper smiles at both of her sisters and went forward "Phoebe, welcome home. It's so good to see you. Isn't it Prue?"

"I'm speechless." Prue said emotionless.

A car horn beep a couple times. "Oh, oh. I forgot about the cab." Phoebe said sheeply

"I'll get it." Piper said to us happily walking to the door. She grabs Prue's purse while Pandora knew it was on purpose.

"Hey, that's my purse." Prue exclaim loudly yet Piper ignored her and walk out the door

Phoebe looks at Prue "Thanks. I'll pay you back."

"It's okay. Save your pennies."

"Its ok Phoebe I need to save whatever I find on the ground since Prue doesn't want me to get a job."

"You need to focus on your studies! You won't be a high school dropout!"

"Like me." Phoebe said knowing that Prue was indicting about her

Prue close her eyes for a moment feeling guilty but she pushed it aside and look at Phoebe things "Is that all that you brought?"

Phoebe look down "That's all that I own. That and my bike."

Prue stared at Phoebe for a moment then without looking at Pandora she said, "Pandora can you get my phone upstairs? I left it on my bed."

Pandora look between them warily, "Umm ok." She went upstairs and got Prue phone. When she stood up, she felt like someone was staring at her. Pandora stared forward for a minute. Something was wrong. You know that feeling of someone staring. You're arms become filled with goosebumps and the hairs on your arms stood up. It felt like that. She felt something brush her. She turned around quickly, ready to attack. But there was nothing there.

She went quickly downstairs and stood on the stairs interrupting her sisters, "Guys I think the house it haunted."

The three sisters look up at her and then look at each other. Prue scoff and walk away while Phoebe got her things and walks off.

"We'll try the group hug later." Piper look disappointed.

"Piper." Pandora said bringing Piper attention to her. "I know this is crazy but I think this house is haunted."
