Chapter 1
A dim light slowly lit the dark, damp walls of an old cave.
"Slinker! I asked for a nice, yet creepy cave! One that would make me feel at home!" shrieked a man who's shadow appeared on the cave wall.
"But sir! This is a nice cave. It is one of the nicest caves in San Fransisco. And it has a lovely view of the bay," said the shorter shadow named Slinker who had a much lower voice. He was a short, plump man. The way he was trembeling, he would remind someone of a mouse that was afraid of a cat.
"I guess it will do. So have you found out where the girl is?" questioned the first man.
"Yes! Yes! I have! She lives with her cousins in a manor not far from here. There is just one little problem," Slinker explained to the man as he stoped trembling.
"And what, may I ask, is that?" snapped the man while rubbing his temples.
"Well....um.....She lives with her cousin...... who are the Charmed Ones. And she has two whitelighters. One is her friend and she knows and elder!" said Slinker fast.
"So....She is a relevitve of the Charmed ones!"
"Yes and she is very well pertected!"
"Well! That won't stop me! I'll have her dead even if I have to burn her alive!" said the man slyly.

"Hey! Get back here!" Danielle called out as she chased a warlock through an empty warehouse. Suddenly the warlock stop and faced her.
"Finally! I have waited forever for this day! I killed your parents and I shall kill you!"
Suddely a bunch of chains that where on a near by chair, flew up and wrapped themsleves around Danielle to keep her from moving.
"Oh. Too bad. No here to save you now," the warlock said in a sarcastic tone.
The room suddenly filled with flames as the warlock stood there and laughed the most horrible laugh Danielle had ever heard.
The smoke filled the room and her lungs. Her eyes began to sting and water as her mouth and throat got dryer. The temperature slowly rose as the flames licked at her body.
"Help!" she tried to scream but she couldn't.
The warlock had disappeared from site as the fire grew larger and stronger.
"Will anyone save me!" she thought as she coughed.

James awoke and sat up on the couch. For some reason he couldn't sleep. He got up and started toward the stairs. When he reached the top, he could hear something coming from Danielle's room. When he entered she cried, "Help! Someone!"
He ran over to the side of her bed and called out her name.
****
The smoke began to get to her. This is it she thought.
"Danielle! Danielle! Wake up!" called someone from far away.
She suddenly opened her eyes, sat up and screamed. She was back in her room at the Halliwell manor.
"Danielle! Are you ok?" asked James as he put his hand on her shoulder.
"Huh!" Danielle said looking around. "Where's the warlock and fire."
"What fire? Warlock?" questioned James as he sat down on the bed. "Look you just had a dream," he said taking him into his arm. "Everything's ok."
James Halton was one of Danielle's friends but he was half whitelighter and half wizard. He was assigned to her by Leo, to pertect her from any evil or anyone who wanted to kill her, which was everyone.
"What happened? Was your dream that bad? You were like tossing and turning and trying to scream but couldn't. Are you ok now?" he asked looking at her.
" It was nothing. I chased a warlock into an empty warehouse and he it was the moment he had waited for. And suddenly these chains wrapped around my legs and arms and the place just lit up in flames. Then he disappeared from sight. It didn't seem like a dream though. It was too real. The fire felt real and I could smell the smoke!" Danielle explained to James as her cousins entered the room.
"Danielle, whats wrong?" asked Piper with a concerened look on her face.
"Nothing. It was just a bad dream! I'm ok now! Really!" she stated as Phoebe felt her head.
"Your burning up! Do you feel ok?" asked Phoebe while feeling her head.
"Yes! I'm fine," said Danielle.
"She had a dream she was in a warehouse, tied up and set on fire by a warlock but she said it felt too real to be a dream," stated James looking at her cousins.
"Oh, that explains why your all clammy!" said Phoebe, whiping her hand on her pajama's. "Well, I'm going back to bed! Night!"
"Yeah, me too," said Piper yawning.
"I guess I'll go too," Paige said before disappearing out the door.
"Danielle. I don't think it was a dream you had," said James looking concerned.
"Oh...really! What do you think it was then?" asked Danielle.
"I think it was a premonition!"
" A pemonition! Yeah right! Both my parents didn't have that power! Why would I?"
"That doesn't mean anything. So what if you parents didn't have that power."
"What makes you think it was a premonition?"
"Well you said it felt so real and it felt like the fire was actually burning you. Well, ask your cousin, Phoebe, she knows what it is like," James explained.
"Ok, but if it was a premonition then does that mean whatever happened then will happen to me?"
" Maybe. Unless we prevent it."
"How can we do that if...," suddenly she was cut off as a demon entered the room.
"Look out!" exclaimed James as he pushed Danielle off the edge of the bed. He started after it as it ran out of her room, but stopped once it disappeared in a portal.
"Ow!" said Danielle as she rose from the side of the bed and as James entered the room.
"Oh! Sorry Danny! I didn't mean too! Just trying to pertect you!" James said as he helped Danielle up.
"It's ok. I'm going to bed anyway," she explained taking his hand.
"Ok. I'll be down in the living room on the couch. Call if you need me. Just incase that demon comes back."
"Wait!" Danielle called as James started out of her room. She walked past him and into the hallway. She walked over to the bathroom, mumbled some word and a cot suddenly appeared. " This way you'll be closer if he comes back. Good night," she said and disappeared into her room, closing the door behind her.
"Night," James sighed as he climbed onto the cot.
A dim light slowly lit the dark, damp walls of an old cave.
