Chapter One

A Message from Hell

"Paige!" Phoebe screamed as she dodged a fire ball. She stood on the landing of Halliwell Manor's stairs, dodging fireballs three demons kept firing at her. "Paige, where the hell are you?"

In a flash of white lights Paige and Piper orbed in.

BOOM!

One of the demons exploded as Piper waved her hands.

The other two turned away from Phoebe and fired another set of fire balls at Paige and Piper.

"FIRE BALL!" Paige shouted. The two fire balls spun around in a flash of blue and white lights and smashed into the demons, vanquishing them.

"What took you so long?" Phoebe demanded as the three sisters walked in to the kitchen.

"We had demons of our own," Piper sighted "it's as if every demon in the under world is after us!"

"What else is new?" Paige sighed waving her hand in a sarcastic gesture. "It's been like this for four years." Though deep down Paige knew she loved being a witch with the power to make things orb to where ever she wanted them to.

"Maybe for you," Piper said "Phoebe and I have had our powers longer then you." Piper Halliwell, the eldest after Prue's death, was, from the day they received their powers, the least open to the magical world of witchcraft and supernatural powers.

"Hey Piper, where's the chicken from last night?" Phoebe asked.

"The fridge," Piper replied "Hey get me some too!"

"And grab me the ice cream!" Paige shouted. Fighting demons always put her in the mood for ice cream.

Phoebe grabbed the ice cream and chicken and sat with her sisters at the table. "Where are the boys" she asked.

"Leo taking them out to the park and dinner," Piper replied sadly, she hated not being there for Chris and Wyatt. "It's just not safe around here, what, with all the demon attacks every five minutes they could get hurt!"

"They know that something big is about to happen," Paige told her sisters between spoonfuls of ice cream "They must know or else they wouldn't attack this frequently."

"Well they obviously know something is going on!" Phoebe pointed out "Venar has been using the Seers visions to plan all his attacks."

"Hey, well the Elders say that she isn't as powerful as the last two," Paige informed them. "Also Venar has only been free for, what, a month, maybe a week more."

"Well we can't under estimate him," Phoebe said. "According to the Book of Shadows he learned his power from Zanko, so he's got to be really powerful."

Just then a sound of magical jingling, that was the Elders call, filled the room.

"All right, all right, I'm going!" Paige shouted. "I've got to take care of another innocent right now!" she told her sisters and then looked up to the heavens and shouted: "Ok, enough with the jingling!" Then she orbed out in a swirl of white and blue light.

"It must be nice to orb," Phoebe whispered, "or at least it seems like it would if the Elders didn't jingle every other second!"

…………………………..

A young woman with short brown hair, and looked to be in her late forties, was walking through a dark ally. The ally was filled with old dumpsters and garbage that had been forgotten long ago. Suddenly she heard a loud CLANG sound and she spun around.

"Who's there?" The women shouted.

"Your end!" a voice replied and suddenly two demons stepped out from behind a dumpster, each with an energy ball in hand. The two through the energy balls right at the women.

"ENERGY BALL!" The women shouted, just before the two hit her, and one of the energy balls orbed in front of the other and they collided, exploding in midair.

"What?" One of the demons shouted.

The women pulled a small vile from her pocket and hurled it at the demon who had just spoke. It hit him square in the chest and he exploded, screaming.

"WIRE!" The women shouted and a spool of wire which had been lying by one of the dumpsters orbed over and tied it's self around the remaining demon. Then the women burst in to little orbs of white light which turn in to Paige.

"A Charmed One!" The demon spat. "I should have known!"

Just then two more demons shimmered in.

"METAL PIONTY THING!" Paige shouted and a sharp metal pipe orbed in front of the demons and impaled them. They screamed and exploded.

"Know, where was I?" Paige said turning back to her captured demon. "What's the deal with all the random attacks? What have you demons got up your selves?" When the demon didn't respond Paige sighed "Why do you have to do everything the hard way?" she asked and pulled out another potion. She poured a small drop on the demons hand and it burned through like acid.

"AHHHHHH!" The demon shouted. "I'll talk; Venar wants to stop the Power of Four from being created! He wants to…AHHHHHHHHHHH!" The demon suddenly exploded. Paige turned to her left and saw another demon standing just down the ally, and then he shimmered away.

"The Power of Four?" Paige whispered and then orbed away.
