OK so I see a lot of stories with the power of four. Most of these are with both Paige and Prue in. I want to make one where Paige has a full sister.
*PO4: Season 1*
|Serena Fredrick's apartment|
In a little house in San Fransisco a young woman is up really late as a storm rages outside.
"Here you go baby," she says to a cat as she places some food down for it.
The cat meows and jumps off of the side to happily accept the food that is being offered to it.
"Good girl," Serena says stroking the cat.
They young woman goes to the living room and sits down in front of an altar. She places a cup on top of it. One by one she touches the candles and they immediately light up.
Unaware she is that outside there is a man watching her. When she is finished she leans back and places her hands together like she is praying.
She begins to chant a spell. "Ancient one of the Earth so deep, master of moon and sun. I shield you in my wiccan way, here in my circle round, asking you to protect this space, and offer your sun force down."
The cat meows as a man enters the place while Serena is still chanting. Serena places her hands together once more to indicate she is finished with her spell.
She realises that there is someone behind her when she hears footsteps. She turns and sighs as she recognises the young man that is stood in front of her.
She gets up.
"What are you doing here?" She asks the person whose face we cannot see.
Without answering the man pulls out an athame and stabs her in the stomach. She screams out but is soon dead. The man leaves as if nothing had happened.
*PO4: Season 1*
|Halliwell Manor: Outside and inside|
Piper is rushing towards her house as she tries to stay dry from the rain using an umbrella. She knows that Prue and perhaps Paula, if she is home, are not going to be happy with her.
She opens the door and calls out.
"Prue? Paula?" She calls out.
She notices the lights are still flashing on and off.
"In here working on the chandelier," Prue tells her.
Piper takes off her jacket and hangs it up. She then moves towards where she knows her sisters are.
"Sorry I'm late," she says walking into the room to see Prue on a ladder and Paula keeping it steady.
"What else is knew?" Prue asks clearly angry. "You know Piper I would have been here to meet the electrician myself but you know I can't leave the museum till six. I haven't even had time to change."
Paula gives Piper a small smile. "And I couldn't leave the Uni till five as I had tutoring and then I had to go and grab a few things. If someone had phoned me then it would have been easier."
Piper tries to explain.
"I just I didn't realise how long I was in China town," she tells the two hoping to calm them. "Did Jeremy call?"
Paula smirks as Prue answers.
"No," she informs piper. "But he had some roses and a package delivered."
Paula points towards the dining room and the three sisters move towards it.
"What were you doing in China town?" Paula asks.
"Yeah, I thought you had an interview in North beach?" Prue is also curious.
"I did," Piper informs them. "But I went to young Lee market after my interview to get the ingredients for my audition recipe."
Paula nods in understanding. Piper sees the flowers and the package that her boyfriend sent her on the dining table.
"So you weren't hired in North beach? Paula asks sympathetically.
No," Piper replies bluntly pulling out a bottle of wine from the package. "But this might just get me the job."
Prue and Paula not glance at what is in Piper's hand. Paula raises an eyebrow at he older sister.
Prue takes the bottle an asks. "Jeremy sent you port."
Piper nodded.
"It's the ultimate ingredient for my recipe," she explains.
"How thoughtful?" Paula says snickering quietly.
"Nice boyfriend," Prue agrees.
Piper then spots something else on the table and gasps in shock.
"Oh my god," she says walking towards the object. "I don't believe it. Tell me that's not our old spirit board."
"Yep," Paula replies. "I was as shocked as you are now."
Prue walks so she is behind her two sisters.
"I found it in the basement when I was looking for the circuit tester," she says.
Piper holds the board close to her. "To my four beautiful girls may this give you the light to find the shadows. The power of four forever more."
Paula takes the board an stares at the inscription.
"Love mom," she finishes before turning to the other two. "You know we never did figure out what this inscription meant."
Prue head towards the kitchen.
"Well we should send it to Phoebe," Prue says and Paula rolls her eyes. "She's always so in the dark a little light will help."
Piper looks a little uncomfortable as she says this. "Your always so hard on her."
Prue turns back to look at both of her little sisters.
Piper the girl has no vision, no sense of the future," she says clearly angry at the subject.
"I really think Phoebe is coming around," Piper says an Paula gives her a suspicious look.
"Well as long as she don't come around here I guess thats good news," Paula replies.
Paula and Phoebe had been really close being the two youngest. But when Phoebe moved to new York she never got in touch with Paula again.
Prue and Paula take off into the kitchen and Piper sighs before following the two.
Why no one is in the room the pointer on the spirit board begins to move itself.
*PO4: Season 1*
|Serena's apartment|
Andy Treadu pulls his car to outside Serena Fredrick's apartment. She had been murdered and he has a feeling he knows how. Both him and his partner Darryl Morris are homicide detectives and he had been following up on a lead up until now
He shows an officer his badge and goes inside the apartment.
Morris is waiting for him outside the door.
"Well it's about time," he says sarcastically when he spots Andy.
"I got here as soon as I heard," Andy replies. "Another dead female right. In her late twenties."
"I have been paging you for over an hour Treadu," Morris replies clearly annoyed. "Where have you been?"
"Checking out a lead," Andy replies.
"What lead?" Morris demands from his partner.
"One that didn't go anywhere," And says clearly disappointed.
"You're avoiding my question," Morris points out as they move further into the apartment.
"Because you don't want to know that I went to an occult shop," Andy comments.
Morris looks at him in disbelief before laughing. "You hate me don't you. You want to see me suffer."
There is clear accusation in his voice.
"I wanna solve these murders," Andy says as they head towards where Serena's body is. "Someones after witches."
Darryl clearly does not believe in such things.
"Women," he corrects his friend.
Andy decides to try and prove it to him. "That woman up there. Bet she was killed with an Athame."
"Wrong," Darryl says with a look of satisfaction. "Double-edged steel knife."
This doesnt end Andy's smirk. It actually makes him smile more.
"Right thats an Athame," he says and Darryl looks a little annoyed. ""It's a ceremonial tool. Witches use them to direct energy," he explained, looking around to see if anyone was listening to them.
"That woman didn't direct jack. She was stabbed. Plain and simple," Darryl retorted clearly annoyed.
Andy lowered his voice just to be safe."Was she found near an alter?" He asked Darryl.
Darryl hesitates wondering what his partner is getting at. "Yes."
"Were there carvings on that alter?" Andy pressed, smiling as he knew the answer.
Darryl rolled his eyes. This kind of makes sense but also it is really strange.
"Look. Just do me a favor. Don't ever follow a lead without checking with me first."
"You want to go to occult shops?" Andy joked, grinning at his partner knowing that would be the last place anyone would find his friend.
Darryl laughed. "Get to work Okay Treadu."
Darryl heads towards the body but he stops and turns when he hears a voice.
"Inspector Trudeau?" A young man says. "Jeremy Burns. San Francisco Chronicles," the reporter introduced himself and then continued. "Care to comment?"
"A woman was stabbed. Plain and simple," Andy replies saying the same thing Darryl did to him.
Andy began to turn away to as Darryl put it 'Get to work."
"Well, that's the third one in three weeks," Jeremy pointed out hoping for more information.
Andy looks like he wants to say something but then thinks better of it and walks away.
*PO4: Season 1*
|Halliwell Manor|
Piper checks outside and then walks around the living room. She walks into the kitchen where Prue and Paula are. Prue is trying to figure out what is wrong with the electricity and Paula is trying to help.
"I don't get it," Prue says as Piper reaches them. "I checked everything. Theres no reason why the chandelier should not be working."
Paula pats the oldest of her sisters on the shoulders.
"Uh you know how we've been talking about what to do with that spare room," Piper begins. "I think you're right. We do need a roommate."
Paula and Prue travel back into the kitchen.
"Well," Prue says clearly thinking. "We could rent out the room at a reduced rate in exchange for help around the house."
Paula nods although she isn't too keen with a stranger being in the house.
"Phoebes good with a wrench," Piper says.
Both Prue and Paula turn to her frowning.
"Phoebe lives in New York," Prue reminds her sister.
Paula stares as Piper gives a small smile.
"Not anymore," she says sighing.
Prue turns and Paula folds her arms.
"What?" Paula says glaring at her older sister.
"She left New York," Piper says looking a little uncomfortable. "Shes moving back in with us."
"You've got to be kidding me," Paula says not believing what she is hearing.
Prue and Paula storm into the other room and Piper follows knowing that this is not going to go down well.
"Well I could hardly say no," Piper says. "It's her house to. It was willed to all of us."
"Yeah months ago," Prue reminds Piper. "And we haven't seen or spoken to her since."
"You two haven't spoken to her," Piper admits.
"No because she wouldn't talk to me," Paula reminds her distraught.
"Maybe you've forgotten why I am so mad at her," Prue says as she tries to comfort Paula.
"No of course not," Piper says trying to calm the situation. "But she had nowhere else to go. She lost her job, she's in debt."
Paula rubs her arms really upset with Piper it doesnt sound like she just found out about this.
"And this is news," she says to Piper.
Prue speaks next. "How long have you known about this anyway?"
Piper hesitates for a split second. "A couple of days... maybe a week... or two."
"Thanks for sharing," Paula says angrily.
Prue places an arm around Paula's shoulders. "When does she arrive?"
Before they can answer the door opens.
"Surprise," Phoebes voice says and both Paula and Prue glare at Piper. "Found the hide a door key."
As Phoebe comes in Piper comes towards her and Paula and Prue share a look.
"Phoebe welcome home," Piper says walking forwards and giving her a hug. "Its so good to see you. Inst it Prue? Paula?"
Paula just nods her head and Phoebe sighs. Prue is the one to speak. "I'm speechless."
There is a sudden beeping from outside. Phoebe glances back.
"OOPS I forgot about the cab," she says glancing at Piper.
"I'll get it," Piper says running towards the door but she doesnt grab her purse.
"Piper thats my purse," Prue reminds her.
Piper just waves her off.
"Thanks I'll pay it back," Phoebe tells Prue who nods.
Paula glances at the bags Phoebe has.
"Is that all that you brought?" She asks trying to start a conversation.
Phoebe glances down and then back at her little sister.
"That's all that I own," she says glancing from Paula to Prue. "That and a bike. Look I know that you two don't want me here."
Paula raises an eyebrow.
"We're not selling grams house," Prue says stepping forwards.
"Is that why you think I came back?" Phoebe asks sounding hurt.
Paula gives her a look that says what do you expect.
"Look the only reason Piper and I gave up our apartment and come back here is because this house has been in our family for generations," Prue reminds her. "And Paula still lived here."
Phoebe is getting annoyed.
"No history lesson needed," she says glancing from one sister to the other. "I grew up here too. So can we talk about whats really bothering you two?"
"No," Paula says glaring.
"We're still furious at you," Prue admits.
"So you'd rather have a tense reunion filled with boring chitchat and unimportant small talk?" Phoebe asks.
"No but otherwise we won't have anything to talk about," Prue retorts.
Phoebe decides to try and break the ice between her and Prue. "I never touched Roger."
Prue and Paula's eyes widen. "WHOA!"
"I know you think otherwise," Phoebe continues.
She begins to say something else but Piper comes in and speaks.
"Hey," she starts walking towards her sisters. "I have a great idea. Why don't I make a fabulous reunion dinner."
Paula is the first to answer. "Coursework."
She leaves and goes towards her room.
"I'm not hungry," Prue says walking off.
"I ate on the bus," Phoebe says heading for her old room.
Piper doesnt want to give up and says. "Ok we'll try the group hug later."
*PO4: Season 1*
|Halliwell Manor: Phoebes room|
Phoebe is watching the news on the TV in her room. You can hear the thunderstorm outside.
Phoebe throws her jacket down and stands in front of the mirror.
Theres a knock on the door and Pipers voice comes through. "It's me."
"Come on in," Phoebe tells Piper who walks in with a tray full of food in her hand. "Oh thank god I'm starving."
Piper smiles as she gives Phoebe the tray. "Figured."
Piper then recognizes one of the reporters on the television.
"Hey that's my boyfriend Jeremy," she says as she turns to Phoebe. "What happened?"
Phoebe begins to eat and then answers.
"Oh some woman got whacked," she tells Piper.
Piper is shocked at her choice of words.
"Whacked?" She repeats in question. "Phoebe you've been in New York way too long."
Phoebe thinks about the way her other two sister reacted.
"Yeah, I should have stayed," she says before speaking in an accusing tone. "Now why didn't you tell Prue and Paula I was coming home?"
Piper sighs.
"Phoebe you really hurt Paula's feelings when you stopped talking to her. I fear it will take her a while," Piper says and Phoebe looks down. "And I didn't want to risk Prue changing the locks. Besides you should have been the one to tell them. Not me."
"Good point Chicken little," Phoebe replies. "I didn't mean to ignore Paula it was just hard after Grams died. I should have kept in touch I know. And It's just so hard for me to talk to Prue. She's always been more like a mother."
"That's not her fault," Piper defended. "She practically had to sacrifice her own childhood to help raise us."
Phoebe finished with her and then she speaks her feelings.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Phoebe says and Piper smiles a little at her.
"Hey we were lucky she was so responsible," Piper says and Phoebe rolls her eyes a little. "You, Paula and I had it easy. All we had to do was be there."
Phoebe understands what she means but she still has to give her opinion.
"Yeah, well I don't need a mom anymore, you know?" She asks half in question half in statement. "I need a sister."
Before anything else is said there is a knock on the door and Prue enters carrying a few blankets.
"Hey," she says placing the blankets down. "This was always the coldest room in the house."
Phoebe smiles a little. "Thanks."
Prue nods before leaving and Paula enters.
"Piper you said you would help me downstairs remember," she says avoiding her older sisters gaze.
Piper nods. "I'll be down in a minute."
Paula nods and leaves again without saying one word to Phoebe.
*PO4: Season 1*
|Serena's Apartment|
Andy looks at the tattoo on Serena's chest before the coroners take her body.
"It's the same tattoo that was on the other two victims," he points out before covering the body once more.
"So the murderer is killing cultists," Darryl says rubbing his forehead.
"No," Andy says. "The murderers on a witch hunt."
Darryl clearly thinks his partner is going nuts.
"Oh yeah, he is 500 years old and he lives in Salem," Darryl says sarcastically. "Look around Treadu. Pentagrams, altars, offerings. All tools for a freak fest."
"They call them Sabbats," Andy informs Darryl. "And this was hardly a freak fest. She was a solitary practitioner. She practiced her craft alone."
Darryl makes a noise and gives him a small smirk.
"Let me ask you something Morris," Andy continues folding his arms. "Do you believe in UFOS?"
"Hell no!" Darryl's answer is short and blunt.
"Neither do I," Andy agrees. "But do you believe there are people out there who do believe in UFOS?"
"Yes," Darryl says. "But I think they're crazy."
"Well then why can't you believe there are people who believe they are witches?" He asks.
Darryl seems to take a few moments to think about it.
"Look," he finally says. "All I know is if you don't stop talking about witches, I'm going to start questioning you."
Andy sighs. Behind them Serena's cat meows as she jumps onto one of the sides. Darryl looks over and walks towards her. Darryl feels like he should caution him.
"I'd stay away from that cat, Treadu," Darryl warns him. "Its been clawing the crap out of everybody. See you at the car."
Andy strokes the cat and looks at her tag. It has a symbol on it.
Its a has four points.
*PO4: Season 1*
|Halliwell Manor: Conservatory at night|
Paula is sat in at the other side of the table as Piper and Phoebe are playing around with the spirit board.
"I'm glad to hear you and Jeremy are still together," Phoebe says to Piper. "Where did you meet him anyway?"
Paula glances at the two also not knowing the answer to the question.
"We met at the hospital cafeteria the day grams was admitted," Piper explains and Paula looks down upset. "He was covering a story and I was bawling over a bagel. So he handed me a napkin."
Paula snorted and Piper sends her a playful glare.
"How romantic?" Phoebe says.
"As a matter of fact it was," Piper defends her boyfriend. "The napkin had his phone number on it."
Both Phoebe and Paula chuckle. Phoebe begins to push the pointer.
"Stop pushing the pointer," Piper scolds her.
"I'm not touching it," Phoebe says.
"Yeah right," Paula says and for the first time that night she looks at Phoebe with a smile. "You used to always push the pointer."
"More popcorn?" Piper asks and Paula shakes her head.
Phoebe speaks. "Hey I forgot your question."
"I asked if Prue would have sex with someone other then herself this year," Piper says.
"EW!" Paula says cringing.
"Thats disgusting!" Phoebe tells her sister before she whispers. "Please say yes!"
Paula chuckles at her sister. She slowly feels as if things are going back to normal but she also knows that it will take time for her and Phoebe to be completely fine.
"Piper... Piper, Paula get in here!" Paula hears Phoebe yell so she gets to her feet and moves over to her.
Piper enters the room as well.
"What?" Piper says moving to stand besides Paula.
Prue walks in and stands on Pipers other side. "What did you guys do now?"
"Nothing," Paula say.
"Me I didn't do anything," Piper defends herself.
"The pointer on the spirit board moved on its own," Phoebe says and we all give her a look. "I'm serious it spelt A-T."
"Well did you push it?" Piper asks clearly trying not to laugh.
"No!" Phoebe defends herself.
"You always used to push the pointer," Prue reminds her.
"My fingers were barely touching it," Phoebe says reaching for the pointer again "Look."
When nothing happens Prue leaves first and Paula follows to go and get herself a drink. Piper slowly follows.
The pointer moves again and Phoebe groans.
"It did it again," Phoebe says and the others all make their way back in. "It moved."
Prue glances at the spirit board.
"It's still on the letter 'T'!" Prue points out to her second youngest sister.
"I swear it moved," Phoebe swears and Paula wonders what is going on.
"I'll get you a drink too Pheebs," Paula says as she once more begins to move towards the kitchen.
This time as Phoebe says something Paula quickly turns and both her and Piper see the pointer moving and Phoebe's hands are nowhere near it.
Paula's eyes widened.
"You saw that right?" Phoebe asks her older and younger sisters.
"I think so," Piper says.
"Yeah I did," Paula says unable to take her eyes off of the spirit board.
Phoebe takes a deep breath. " told you I wasn't touching it."
It begins to move again so Piper calls out to their other sister.
"Prue!" She says turning towards the kitchen. "Can you come here a sec?"
Phoebe grabs a paper and pen and begins to write the letters she had seen on the spirit board.
Prue enters the room and walks towards her sisters. "Now what?"
Phoebe looks at the word that the spirit board had spelled.
"I think it's trying to tell us something," she says showing us the word she wrote just before she speaks it. "ATTIC!"
There is a crash of thunder and a flash of lightning and then the electricity cuts off.
Paula gasps as it goes completely dark.
*PO4: Season 1*
|Halliwell manor: Passage way/ Attic|
"Don't you think you're overreacting?" Prue asks Piper as both them and Paula walk towards the front door as Piper prepares to leave. "We are perfectly safe here."
Paula walks slowly towards them and Phoebe goes in the opposite direction.
"Don't say that," Piper scolds his older sister. "In the horror movies, the person who says that is always the next to die."
"Piper it is pouring rain," Paula says worried for her sister.
"And theres a psycho on the loose," Prue says glancing at Paula. "Jeremy isn't even home."
"So... I'll.. I'll wait in the cab till he gets home from work," Piper tells the two.
Prue tries to joke. "That'll be cheap," she says sarcastically.
"Prue we saw that pointer move," Piper says motioning to Paula and herself.
Paula nodded but Prue wasn't having any of it.
"No," she says gripping Piper by the elbows. "Look what you saw was Phoebe's fingers pushing the pointer. Theres nothing in that attic, she's playing a joke on us."
Paula spoke before Piper could.
"We don't know that," she says to her older sister. "We've lived in this house for months now and we've never been able to get that Attic door open."
While Paula was speaking Piper had picked up the phone to ring for a cab. She gets annoyed when she realises it isn't working.
"Great!" Piper says annoyed. "Now the phone doesn't work!"
Prue points out why.
"Yeah, the powers out," Prue says shaking her head a little. "Look just go with me to the basement."
"What?" Piper asks wondering why they need to go to the basement.
"I need you to hold the flashlight while I check the main circuit box," Prue explains to her.
"Phoebe or Paula will go with you to the basement, right?" Piper asks.
"I don't think so Piper," Paula says not being a big fan of the basement.
Phoebe turns to her three sisters.
"Nope," she says as she heads towards the stairs. "I'm going to the attic."
"No you're not," Prue says shaking her head. "We already agreed."
Phoebe persists.
"I'm not waiting for some handy man to check out the attic and I'm certainly not waiting till tomorrow," she informs the three others. "I'm going now."
Prue, Piper and Paula glance at her as she walks towards the stairs. Then Prue heads into another room looking annoyed.
Piper and Paula share a look.
"Prue wait!" Piper calls before the two follow her.
Phoebe heads up the stairs that leads to the attic. She remembers how their grams had never let them in there and then after she died for some reason they could not get the door open.
She stops and glances at the door from behind the wall. It is a big oak door. Phoebe points her flashlight at the door. Finally working up the courage she makes her way towards it.
She tries the handle but of course nothing happens. She shoves and shoves some more but still the door does not budge.
She steps back. Sighing Phoebe turns to go back downstairs. But then the door suddenly swings open and she turns back around.
Hearing the hinges creak Phoebe spins around in shock. She walks into the room, flashlight still leading the way.
She looks around and spots a lot of old objects that they have had in other places around the manor. The beam of her flashlight landed on some sort chest.
Phoebe walks towards it, setting her flashlight down on a nearby table. She clenches her hand and then unclenches it. Her grip on the flashlight had hurt.
Opening the chest she gets her hands on the first object she sees. A black and rather large book with a leather cover. On it is four arcs that interlock.
sitting down in a chair close to her, she opens the book and begins to read the first page.
"The book of Shadows," she reads the title.
She pauses and looks a little uncertain as the storm continues to rage outside. Wondering wether to put it back she thinks better of it.
Turning the page she begins to read once more.
"Hear now the words of the witches,
The secrets we hid in the night,
The oldest of gods are invoked,
The great work of magic is sought.
In this night, and in this hour,
I call upon this ancient power,
Bring your power to we sisters four,
We want the power.
Give us the power."
Immediately the house begins to shake, bright blue lights appear on the chandelier downstairs. On a photo of the four girls that was taken by their grams, they come closer together.
Prue, Piper and Paula appear and approach Phoebe.
"What are you doing?" Prue asks as they all approach her.
"Uh, reading an incantation," Phoebe explains getting to her feet and still holding the book, she walks towards her three sisters. "It was in this book of Shadows. I found it in that trunk."
"Let me see that," Prue says and she takes the book off of Phoebe and begins to read.
Piper and Paula both look around the room with one question on their minds.
"How did you get in here?" Paula asks her pointing at the door.
"The door opened," Phoebe explains to her little sister.
"Wait a minute an incantation?" Piper says as she realises what Phoebe said. "What kind of an incantation?"
It says something about there being four essentials of magic," Phoebe says before listing them. "Timing, feeling, phases of the moon, and teleportation. If we were ever gonna do this.. now midnight on a full moon would be the best time."
"This, do what?" Paula asks wondering what her sister is on about.
"Receive our powers," Phoebe says sounding excited.
"What powers?" Piper demands but then raises her voice. "Wait our powers? You included me in this."
"No she included all of us," Prue accuses closing the book and glaring at Phoebe. "Bring your powers to we sisters four. It's a book of witchcraft."
Piper takes the book. "Let me see that."
Outside a man in a rain coat is watching the house as the rain pours down. He is the one who killed Serena.
The four sisters walk down the stairs as a group.
"Spirit boards, books of witchcraft," Prue says from the front. "Figures all this freaky stuff starts when our arrive."
Phoebe begins to defend herself.
"Hey, I wasn't the one who found the spirit board," she reminds Prue.
"It wasn't my fingers sliding around on the pointer," Prue defends.
Paula rolls her eyes behind he sisters back. She always wished they would just get along.
"It doesn't matter," Piper says ending their argument. "Because nothing happened Phoebe right when you did the incantation?"
"Well my head spun around and I vomited split pea soup" Phoebe replies sarcastically. "How should I know?"
"Well everything looks the same," Paula says looking around the manor as they come off of the stairs.
"You're right," Phoebe agrees.
"But the house still needs work," Prue says glancing back at her little sisters.
"Everything feels the same so nothings changed right?" Piper asks hoping that nothing has changed.
None of them notice the change in the picture of the four of them.
*PO4: season 1*
|Halliwell manor daytime: Paula's room and outside on the front porch|
Paula's POV:
I wake up after a long night of tossing and turning. As I lay thinking about the events of last night I wonder whether my sister's got any sleep at all.
I shower and as I get out I remember that I need to drop my coursework in today. So I rush out and get ready.
I put on a purple t-shirt and dark blue jeans. Rushing down a quick breakfast I grab my bag and run out of the house.
I see Phoebe and Piper on the porch and I listen to their conversation.
"Reading aloud?" Piper asks.
"God I hope not," I say joking and my sister's chuckle.
No," Phoebe replies to us both. "But according to the book of Shadows one of our ancestors was a with named Melinda Warren."
"And we have a cousin who's drunk," Piper says and then gives me a small smile. "An aunt who's manic, not to mention both ours and Paula's dad's are invisible."
I smile a little but also feel the loss I know. I never even got my father's name. All I have are his initials S.W.
"I'm serious," Phoebe says as Piper an I walk away. "She practised these powers. Three powers. She could move objects with her mind, see the future and freeze time. The teleportation is new but whoever teleports should also have one of these three powers. Before Melinda was burned at the stake She vowed that each generation of Warren witches would become stronger and stronger culminating in the arrival of three sisters. Now these sisters would be the most powerful witches the world has ever good witches and I think we're those sisters. Especially since recently it was added for a fourth sister."
Phoebe glances at me and I think that she means my birth changed it for four sisters.
"Look," Piper says to Phoebe. "I know what happened last night was weird and unexplainable. But we are not witches and we do not have special powers. Besides Teams wasn't a witch and as far as we know neither was mum."
Piper kisses Phoebes cheek and I turn to Phoebe myself.
"So take that Nancy Drew," I say before turning to Piper. "I hate to ask..."
Piper smiles at me. "Get in. I hope someday you will never be late."
I smile hoping the same. Just as Piper begins to drive I hear Phoebes voice.
"We're known as the legendary charmed ones," she says waving.
*PO4: season 1*
|San Francisco university: Paula's classes and the library|
I arrive at he university and head towards my different classes and drop my coursework in. Then I head to the library to do some studying.
When I get into the library I begin to look for the books I need. I am studying to be a teacher.
I find he book I am looking for and go to sit down at a table. I read for a few minutes.
I glance around and see that it is very quiet in the library. I find an interesting paragraph and look for my pen. It isn't on the tale so I look in my bag. I cannot seem to find it. I only have a few minutes before I need to leave.
Damn it where is my pen?!" I practically yell.
There is a swirl of bright blue lights and my blue pen suddenly appears in my hands.
My mouth drops open in shock. How the hell?
I quickly write my notes and close my book. I quickly leave the library and head to the toilets.
I lock myself in one of the stalls and begin to breathe heavily. Could what Phoebe say be true.
Suddenly there is a big bang and I am surrounded by lights. I reappear in the same spot feeling a little sick.
If what Phoebe says is true then I can teleport and teleport things to me. I place a hand over my mouth.
I leave the stall Andrew quickly exit the library. I phone Prue.
"Prue, we need to talk," I say but cut off as she explains that Phoebe is in hospital and she is going to collect her.
We agree to meet in a restaurant and I take off. I walk to the restaurant thinking about the teleportation power.
*PO4: season 1*
|quake restaurant: night|
i arrive at the restaurant and head in.
"The chosen ones," I hear Prue say as I approach. "The charmed ones. Phoebe this is insane."
I sit down and Phoebe looks at Prue, then me and back at Prue. Then she begins to speak.
"Are you two telling me nothing strange happened to either of you today," she says and I pause. "You didn't freeze time, move anything or teleport."
I hesitate but Prue speaks first.
"Roger took an exhibit from me," Prue says and Phoebe sighs. "Look Phoebe I know you think you can see the future. Which is pretty ironic."
Phoebe cuts her off. "Since you think I don't have one. That may vision of life is cloudy compared to your perfect hell. Even if you don't want to believe. Just once can you trust me?"
Prue tries to be more gentle.
"Phoebe I do not have special powers," Prepare says before glancing around. "Now where is the cream?"
Before I can say anything a pot of cream suddenly moves towards Prue. She glances at it in shock.
"Really that looks pretty special to me," Phoebe points out.
She then moves the cream into her coffee. I realise that as well as teleporting I have telekinesis teleporting.
"Oh my god," Prue says looking shocked. "So um I can move things with my mind?"
Phoebe nods. "With how much you hold inside you should be a lethal weapon by now."
"I don believe it," Prue says.
Phoebe turns to me. "What about you?"
I hold my arm out and glance at something I can move without people noticing. I spot some napkins on a table.
"Napkin," I say moving my hand forwards a little and a napkin appears in my hand.
Prue glances at the white swirly things that the napkins come out of as I call for them.
"So you can teleport and move things through teleportation," she realises.
"Looks like it," I say. "But guys I have no control over the teleporting I disappeared in blue and white swirls in a bathroom stall at the university. As soon as there was a loud bang I disappeared and reappeared. Do you know how dangerous t can be until I can control it?"
Prue nods obviously thinking the same thing. Phoebe just begins to talk once more.
"This must mean that Piper can freeze time," she points out the only power left.
Prue drinks a shot as she is clearly stressed.
"Are you Ok?" Phoebe asks.
Prue puts her shot down and places a hand on her chest. Then she answers. "No I'm not okay you've turned me into a witch."
I nod as I am worried for these powers.
"You were born one," Phoebe points out. "We all were. And I think we better start learning to deal with that."
I shake my head as I am feeling a little uncertain right now.
We go outside and Phoebe continues to talk.
"When I was looking at the book of Shadows there were these wood carvings," she tells us but I am not really listening. "They looked like something out of a Bosch painting. All these terrible images of four women battling different incarnations of evil."
"Evil," I say glancing at her from besides Prue. "Evil fighting evil now that's a twist."
"Actually," Phoebe says. "A witch can be either good or evil. Good witch follows a wiccan lead 'harm none an do what the will.' A back witch or a warlock has but one goal. To kill good witches and obtain their powers. Unfortunately the look like regular people. They can be anyone, anywhere."
"And this has what to do with us?" Prue asks.
"Well in the first wood carving the women were slumbered," Phoebe says and I feel worse about being a witch now. "But in the second one they were battling some kind of Warlock. I think as long as we were in the dark about our powers we were safe. Not anymore."
*PO4: Season 1*
|Chemist at night|
we head to the chemist as Prue has a headache and to get Phoebes medicine. She asks were she find it and the counter lady points her in the right direction. We head that way.
"Chamomile tea works great for headaches," Phoebe points out to her sister.
"Not for this one it won't," Prue says rubbing her head.
I walk over and rub her shoulders a bit to try am comfort her. But Phoebe can't just leave it.
"You know I'm not afraid of our powers," she says and I send her a warning glance. "I mean everyone inherits something from their family right?"
I roll m eyes at her. "Yeah money, antiques, a strong disposition that's what normal people inherit Phoebe."
Prue glances around getting more annoyed as she searches for aspirin.
"Who wants to be normal when the can be special?" Phoebe asks me.
"I want to be normal and so does Paula," Prue says still lookin for Aspirin. "I want my life to be normal. Isnt this isle three?"
"We can't change what happened," Phoebe points out to us. "We can't undo our destiny."
"Do you two see any Aspirin?" Prue asks us.
"I see chamomile tea," Phoebe says.
My sister just don't know when to quit.
"Look," Prue says turning to us and she goes into a rant. "I have just found out that I am a witch. That my sister's are witches an we have powers that will apparently unleash all forms of evil. Evil that is apparently going to come looking for us. So excuse me Phoebe but I am not exactly in a homeopathic mood right now."
"Then move your headache out of your mind," Phoebe suggests to her sister.
Prue gives her a weird look but then a bottle of Aspirin suddenly comes flying into Prue's hands. Prue glances at the shelf it came off.
I look around as well worried that someone would have spotted it.
"You move things when your upset," Phoebe realises.
Prue glances from the bottle to me and then at Phoebe.
"This is ridiculous," she says still annoyed. "I thought you landed on your arm not your head."
Phoebe decides to push her luck.
"You don't believe me," she enquires.
"Of course I don't believe you," Prue says like it is obvious.
Phoebe says one word. "Roger."
A few items come flying off of the shelf. It is clear that it happened because Prue is upset.
I lean down and so does Prue to begin picking the fallen items up.
"Now let's talk about dad and see what happens," Phoebe says to Prue and I freeze.
Prue gives Paula a small smile and then looks up at Phoebe.
"He's dead Phoebe," Prue says.
"No he's move from new York but he's very much alive," Phoebe says.
"He isn't to me," Prue informs her.
"Can we drop this subject please," I plead with the two.
"He died the day he left mum," Prue says ignoring me.
"If he hadn't left I might never have been," I remind her.
Phoebe takes my hand and squeezes before turning back to Prue.
"What are you talking about?" She chuckles. "He's always been a major button pusher for you. You're mad he's alive, you're mad I tried to find him an you're mad I came back. Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad,dad, dad!"
There is a huge noise as the whole isle of contents come flying off of the shelves. I jump an I suddenly disappeared again in the lights. I come back and I see that I am outside.
A minute or two later and my two sisters walk out. When they spot me they walk over.
"Sorry about that," I say sheepishly. "I really need to get a control on my teleporting. Im glad no one seen that."
They nod but chuckle. We take of for home hoping that Piper is there waiting for us.
*PO4: Season 1*
|Halliwell manor: night|
We arrive back home but Piper isn't there. I worry that something has happened to her. After listening to Rogers message for Prue I meet with Phoebe and Prue. Prue is holding a cat.
"Okay Pipers definitely not home unless she's turned into a cat," Prue says to Phoebe and I.
"How did the cat get in?" Phoebe asks.
"I don't know," Prue answers. "Someone must have left a window open. Did Piper leave a message?"
I shake my head at her.
"No she's probably out with Jeremy," I suggest. "Roger called."
"Yeah I heard," Prue says sounding a little hurt.
All three of us shake our heads but then door opens.
"Prue?!" Piper calls as she walks in and I breathe a sigh of relief.
"In here," Phoebe says.
Prue looks scared as she races in and we give her a worked glance.
"Piper?" I ask worked as she locks the door.
"Oh my god what is it?" Prue asks as we approach her. "What's wrong?"
"Quick lock the doors check the windows," Piper says as we reach her. "Because we don't have a lot of time. Phoebe the book of Shadows did it say how to get rid of a..."
She closes her eyes but Phoebe knows what she means. "A warlock?"
My eyes widen and Prue glances from one sister to the other.
"Oh my god," she says.
I race upstairs with Phoebe and When we find a good enough spell she goes to collect the other two.
*PO4: Season 1*
|Halliwell manor: Attic/Downstairs|
We are sat in a circle around a potion pot.
"Okay place nine candles anointed with oil and spices in a circle," I say making sure we are doing it correctly.
"Wait I only count eight," Piper points out.
Phoebe holds a birthday candle up and lights it explaining that it is the only one left.
"All right next we need the poppet," Prue says.
"Got it," Piper says pulling said object out.
"All right were set," Prue says. "Let's cast the spell."
Piper nod but grabs a rose and sticks the thorns into the poppet. "First I'll make it stronger."
We close our eyes as she speaks the spell.
"You're love will wither and depart,
from my life and my heart,
let me be Jeremy,
and go away forever."
Piper places the poppet and rose inside of the pot.
"Okay the spell is complete," Piper says to all of us.
"Let's hope it works," Prue says and I nod my head.
Smoke begins to rise from the pot as the spell begins to work. We all watch hoping that it ends Jeremy.
There is a flash and we all jump as the rose and poppet explode.
We begin to put our witch supplies away.
"Wait," Phoebe suddenly says and we turn to her. "It didn't work."
"What?" Piper asks.
"The spell it didn't work," Phoebe explains.
"How do you know?" I asked her worried.
"When I touched the pot I had a flash," Phoebe tells us. "I saw Jeremy."
"You touched the pot and you saw him?" Prue asks confused.
"He's on his way here," Phoebe confirms my fears.
We put the stuff down and race downstairs. Prue runs towards the door.
"Come on," Prue says opening the door.
Piper, Phoebe an I scream Wen we see Jeremy behind the door. Prue turns and stands protectively in front of us.
"Hello ladies," Jeremy says walking in with some sort of dagger in his hand.
"Piper, Phoebe, Paula," Prue says using her power to knock Jeremy back. "Get out of here now."
The other two run but I don't.
"Cool parlour trick bitch," Jeremy says referring to Prue's power. "Yeah you were always the tough one weren't you Prue."
He raises his hand an throws the weapon at us.
I raise my hand and hold it out. "Weapon!"
The dagger teleports into my hand I then use my power to throw it back at him and he cries out when it hits his shoulder.
I turn to Prue and she grips my hand. We both take off up the stairs for the attic.
Prue turns to Phebe as we make it in.
"Phoebe you're right our powers are growing," she says.
We all move to put objects in front of the door to barricade it shut.
"Put as many things against the door as you can," Piper instructs.
We suddenly hear Jeremy's voice outside. He begins to taunt us.
"Can't take me now Prue," he informs Prue and as he begins to speak the objects begin to move away from the door. "My powers are stronger than yours. Do you think a chair will stop me?" The chair goes flying off of the top. "Do you think a dresser will stop me?" The dresser slides across the floor and hits a wall. "Haven't you witches figured it out? Nothing.. nothing will keep us away."
I glance nervously around hoping for some sort of sign on what to do. Piper glances at Prue.
"What do we do, we're trapped?" She asks hoping for an answer.
Before Prue can answer the door explodes and Jeremy is there. We all jump back. Prue suddenly grabs Piper and Phoebe's hand and Piper grabs mine.
"We'll face him together," she says glancing around at all three of us. "Do you remember the spirit board?"
Piper nods her head. "The inscription on the back."
"The power of four forever more," I nod my head also remembering the words.
Jeremy suddenly has us surrounded in fire. A ring of fire.
Prue nods. "Come on we have to say it together."
We all turn so we are completely facing Jeremy.
"The power of four forever more, the power of four forever more, the power of four forever more," we all chant and after a few seconds we are surrounded by wind instead of fire.
As we continue to chant Jeremy begins to speak to us.
"I am not the only one! I am one of millions!" He informs us. "In places you can't even imagine! In forms you would never believe! We are hell on this Earth! And you will never be... FREE!"
As he finishes he explodes. We finish the chant.
We fall into silence. Not being able to believe what we did.
"The power of four," Prue says finally breaking the silence.
She smiles at all of us and we begin to relax.
*PO4: Season 1*
|Halliwell manor: Kitchen/outside|
I wake up in the morning and get ready for my day. I rethink the events of last night. I wonder how I am going to be able to handle university without teleporting out and in all the time.
I go down into the kitchen and Phoebe and Piper are already there.
"Good morning," I say to them.
"Good morning," They both greet me.
I make a cup of coffee and sit down to drink. After a few minutes I look up. I think I heard a mans voice.
"Is that a mans voice I heard?" I ask my two sisters.
"I think it is," Piper says.
"Don't be ridiculous you two," Phoebe says to us. "What man would be coming to see us?"
I give a mischievous smile. "Let's go find out."
All three of us head towards the door. We open it and it turns out I was right.
"I told you I heard a mans voice," I say to Phoebe.
Piper nods and I realise who the man is.
"It's Andy," Phoebe says before I can.
We walk towards Prue as Andy is leaving.
"What did Andy want?" I ask my older sister.
"He asked her out!" Prue says with a teasing look towards her older sister.
"Well, I started to say yes," Prue says telling us that yes was not the answer she gave. "And then I stopped. I wondered if I could date. I mean do witches date?"
"Not only do they date but they usually get the best guys," Piper tells her with a wide smile.
Prue glared as Phoebe and I chuckle.
"You three will not be laughing when this happens to you," she says to us. "Believe me everything will be different now."
"Well at least our lives won't be boring," I say with a small smirk.
"But they'll never be the same," Prue reminds me hooking her arm through mine.
"And this is a bad thing?" Phoebe asks clearly not seeing the downside to this.
"No but it could be a big problem," Piper speaks what everyone but Phoebe is thinking.
"She's right," I agree. "What are we going to do?"
"What can't we do?" Phoebe says as we walk towards the door.
"We're going to be careful, were going to be wise, and were going to stick together," Prue instructs.
"This should be interesting," Piper remarks as we all go into the house.
