Chapter 1: Charmed again part 1
Chelbell2016:
Okay guys I want to see how this story will work so I will have two separate fanfics. One where she is married to Leo, Piper is dating Dan. That is all that has changed. Please review.
*PO4: Season 4*
Paula's POV:
I am sitting in my room. I pick up a picture of Prue and I. Sitting on the bed... I let the tears fall. Tomorrow is Prue's funeral. My oldest sister had been killed fighting Shax.
I hear chanting coming from the attic so I get up.
I spot Phoebe about to walk up the stairs to the attic as well. That leaves only one sister.
"Piper," we say as we enter.
I thought I heard her say another name and I now know what she was doing up there.
I walk in with Phoebe to see her sitting there crying. We had all been doing a lot of that over the last few days.
"Sweetie its four o'clock in the morning what are you doing?" Phoebe asks as we walk towards our sister. We notice her hand. "You're bleeding."
I grab a cloth and hold it to her bleeding finger.
She sighs.
"I don't understand why magic can't fix this," she says and I sigh. "Why it can't bring Prue back? It's not like we haven't cheated death before. I don't understand why this time is ant different."
I take her hand and Phoebe's.
"Because Leo can't heal the dead Piper," I say to her. "You know that."
Piper doesn't let it go.
"Theres other magic," she says to us and I look to Phoebe for help. "Magic that we've used before. Scrying, calling a lost witch, reversing time," she slams the book of shadows shut. "Like the book just deserted us and deserted Prue and I don't understand why."
Phoebe and I now have tears running down our own faces,
"We lost our sister," Phoebe says trying to calm Piper as she stands up. "How can we ever understand that?"
My voice shakes as I speak. "We have tried every magical way to bring her back. I even tried to mix my whitelighter powers with Leos to try and heal her. But I cannot heal. We can't bring her back."
"She's gone," Phoebe agrees.
Piper leans forwards and all three of us hug. I feel myself shake and so does Piper as we try to come to terms with the fact that she will not be with us anymore.
"I just... I thank god that I didn't loose you two too," Phoebe says and I nod into her shoulder.
Phoebe kisses our cheeks and then we release each other.
"We have to get some rest you guys," I say to them before giving a small smile. "Prue would never forgive us if we looked bad at her funeral."
My sisters chuckle a little before we all head downstairs. I go to sit on my bed and after a few more minutes of looking at that picture I finally go to sleep.
*PO4: Season 4*
The next day I sit downstairs with Phoebe. I am waiting for my husband to return. I spot Victor sitting on a couch and I give him a small smile. We are not actually related but he has sort of treated me like a step daughter.
Phoebe walks over to him and they speak for a minute before she returns to me.
Dan comes into the room and speaks.
"Look who's back," he says to us.
I look up with Phoebe to see my husband and Cole stood there. Dan glances at me and I motion to the stairs. He nods and heads up. He is slowly getting used to the idea of witches.
"Cole," Phoebe says walking towards her demon boyfriend and hugging him.
Leo approaches me and pulls me into a hug. "Thanks for coming."
He puts a finger under my chin.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world Paula," he says.
I side step so I am besides him and he places an arm around my shoulders. Cole looks over at me and nods. Our friendship is rocky but I would live with him being here for Phoebe right now.
"I was afraid you weren't going to make it to the funeral," Phoebe says.
"Well I can't make it," he says and I watch my older sisters face fall. "Or shouldn't anyway. The source has got every demonic bounty hunter out there looking for me."
"Yeah," Phoebe says. "So what else is new?"
"This is different," Cole says to her and I sigh. "Saving you makes it different. Makes me a traitor. Hes not gonna stop until he finds me and I don't want that to happen at Prue's funeral."
I notice Phoebe is at her breaking point.
"So we'll protect you," I say to him trying to make this easier for Phoebe.
"You can't protect me!" Cole says looking over at me.
"Why not?" Phoebe says with tears coming to her eyes. "We're still witches aren't we?"
Cole tries to make her understand.
"Yeah but your not the charmed ones anymore," he points out.
Leo takes my hand but steps towards my sister. "He's right Phoebe. You know without the power of four."
Phoebe holds her hand up to silence him.
"I don't understand isn't it harder to track a demon in a cemetery Cole," she says and I realise that she is right. "You have to go. I need you there."
Before he can reply we hear the door. I look to see Darryl coming in.
"Hey," he says as Victor walks behind him. He is mainly looking at Phoebe and I. "How are you holding up?"
Phoebe and I share a look.
"Ok," she says before walking over and hugging him.
Darryl then walks over to me and pulls me into a hug as well. I am quite tense but he does not say anything.
"It's sweet of you to stop by," I say as he releases me.
"Had to," he says and that worries me. "Besides I thought you should know there signing Prue's case to another inspector."
I feel Leo come up behind me but I do not look up.
"What case?" He asks.
"What case," Darryl repeats and I know I cannot listen to this. "Are you kidding? Prue and a prominent doctor were killed here Leo. Made a lot of press. People want answers. Important people."
I have had enough so I get to my feet and look to my sister. "I need some air."
I go outside and lean my head on the bannister. I let the tears come again. First mum then grams,Andy, then Sam my birth father and now Prue. Witchcraft has killed nearly everyone I care about.
I begin to punch the bannister until my hand bleeds. I let all my anger go and then I am left in a mess of tears.
I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn with tear filled eyes to see my husband there. He pulls me into his chest and I let my tears go. I shake and he tries to soothe me.
After a few minutes I am calm. He lifts my chin once more. "You ok?"
I shake my head and he glances down at my hands. He raises his own and they begin to glow. A few moments later and the pain is gone. He had healed me.
"Thanks," I say before we kiss.
"It's time to go," he says and I nod.
We head inside but no one says anything as we wait for Dan and Piper to come down.
*PO4: Season 4*
We are all sitting in a church. I sit in between my husband and Piper. Dan is on Pipers other side and Phoebe and Cole are on his other side. Victor is somewhere but I didn't notice where.
The woman leading the ceremony begins to speak. "That which belongs to fellowship of love. That which belongs to the circle... remains with us. The wheel turns as life is a day so our sister has passed into night. Nothing is final. And we who remain behind know that one day we will once again share the bread and wine with our sister. Oh blessed spirit we bid you farewell. for you await a new destiny."
By the end of her speech I am sobbing into Leo's chest. He is rubbing my back as I hold Pipers hand. I can hear Phoebe also sobbing. I then begin to notice some sort of tingly feeling I am getting. Like a sense.
I look around but I don't see anything that would start my powers off.
We get to our feet and Leo grips my elbow to keep me steady. It is time for people to come and pay there respects.
A blond hair woman hugs me and I thank her for coming. As we move down the line I keep saying the same things. It is so hard to get through this day right now.
A young brunette who seems a little familiar to me approaches Phoebe and I.
"I'm so sorry for your loss," she says in a gentle voice.
"Thank you," Both Phoebe and I reply then I speak alone. "How did you know Prue? From work."
She had been about to walk away but my question made her look back.
"No," she says shaking her head. "Just... just from around... you know."
Phoebe speaks now. "Have we met somewhere?"
"No I... I don't think so," the young girl replies looking a little uncomfortable. "Anyway... my condolences."
"Thank you," Phoebe says once more.
They shake hands but Phoebe twitches and I know immediately that she has been hit with a premonition. She falls to the ground and the young woman who I could swear I know walks away.
Dan, Piper, Leo, Victor and Cole approach. They help Phoebe up.
"Are you all right?" I ask her.
"I saw him," she says and I see her with tears. "The demon that killed Prue."
I feel my temper rise.
"Who Shax?" Leo says still holding Phoebe up. "What was he doing?"
"He was killing that girl!" Phoebe exclaims and I immediately know who she is talking about.
"What girl?" Piper asks.
"The girl we were just talking to Paula," she says to me before beginning to head for thee door. "I've gotta go find her."
I nod and move to go with her. Before we get very far a demon appears. I take Phoebes hand and orb us to behind a statue as electricity that would have hit us misses.
Cole dodges and the two demons begin to fight.
He destroys the demon and Piper and Dan move to one side. Leo looks like he wants to come to me but I motion for him to stay where he is.
Phoebe kicks one demon. He throws an energy ball at the two of us.
"ENERGY BALL!" I yell throwing it back at him and he blows up.
"STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT DAMN IT!" Piper yells from besides Dan. Phoebe and I turn to look at her. "This is Prue's funeral for gods sakes! Can we at least bury her in peace! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!"
I flinch at the way she yells. She walks away. Leo comes over and takes my hand. The rest of us all share looks.
*PO4: Season 4*
Phoebe and I storm through the manor cleaning it. I am trying anything to take my mind off of my sisters death. We hand out plates I carry trays of food. I don't speak but I know that Phoebe is also looking for the young girl.
We spot our men and walk towards them.
"We don't see her anywhere," I say with a sigh.
"Who?" Leo asks gently.
"The girl from my premonition," Phoebe says and then notices the woman behind her who gives her a weird look.
Leo pulls both Phoebe and I away from her. "Girls you need to be more careful."
"I'm sorry," Phoebe says as we rearrange the flowers.
"Are you two sure you didn't recognize her from anywhere?" Cole asks us.
"Well she did look familiar," Phoebe says and I nod. "Like I've seen her somewhere before. But somehow we have to find her before nightfall."
I nod and both Leo and Cole give us a look.
"Honey, Paula," he says and Phoebe and I both turn to look at him. "What are you both doing?"
Leo comes to my side.
"Uh cleaning," Phoebe replies.
"You two don't clean," Cole points out.
"We know but it's better than falling apart right," I say trying to stay calm.
Leo pulls me towards him and puts his arms over my shoulders. He then speaks to Phoebe who turns to him.
"Maybe you should try and focus on the girl," he says to her. "You said she was attacked on a rooftop."
"Yeah," Phoebe agrees and then thinks about it. "One with a hello-pad. But it wasn't a tall building although there was a lot of taller buildings around it."
"Ok so we just need to figure out which building it was before Shax does," Leo says to the both of us.
"And do what exactly?" We hear Piper say.
We turn to see both her and Dan approaching from behind Leo and I.
"You can't defeat Shax," she reminds us. "Not without the power of four."
"Well Prue and you did," Phoebe says but I say nothing.
"Thats because Prue was the strongest," she points out. "Trying to do it without her would be suicide."
"That may be so," I intervene. "But Phoebe had that premonition for a reason Piper. That girl is our innocent. So we have to try and save her."
"Says who?" Piper demands and Dan tries to calm her. "Why do we have to?"
"Piper," Dan says.
"What?" She says to her boyfriend. "Do you really expect us to keep doing this? To keep risking our lives? Do they?"
I know by they she means the elders. She looked at both Leo and I as she asked this.
"Piper keep your voice down," Leo says as people begin to stare.
"No Leo I won't," she snaps and I give her a look. "I don't want to do this anymore, ok? It's.. it's over. You can tell them we buried their precious charmed ones... when we buried our sister."
She then storms off up the stairs. Dan makes a move to follow her but I grab his arm and shake my head.
"Leave her be," Phoebe agrees. "She needs to be alone."
I nod and pat Dan's shoulder. "Just give her some time Dan."
"Look," Phoebe continues and I look back at her. "I don't know where we go from here. But I do know that I can't let that girl die. Especially not by the same demon that killed Prue."
I nod. "Me neither."
Cole decides to speak up. "The fact still remains how are you two going to stop Shax without the power of four to say the vanquishing spell?"
"Well we discussed this earlier," I say to him. "We are hoping that a demon, a witch, and a whitelighter-witch fighting together might be enough."
Phoebe nods before looking at her boyfriend. "Interested."
Leo and Cole share a look.
"Why not?" He replies. "Beats sitting around here waiting for the next bounty hunter to attack."
I nod in thanks. Leo doesn't look happy. I lead him into the kitchen and he takes my hands.
"Promise me you'll be careful," he says and I smile a little. "I still have nightmares from the last time I seen you on the floor bleeding after Shax attacked."
I pull him in and kiss him. Then I whisper in his ear. "I will."
He nods and we hug one more time. Then Phoebe appears and explains about an inspector and then we leave. I worry about this inspector though.
*PO4: Season 4*
I am stood in a building looking at the rooftop of P4. Mine and Pipers business building. Phoebe hopes that this is the right one and I am keeping a look out why they are flirting.
I finally spot her coming out with a guy. "Pheebs."
Phoebe turns and walks towards me. I pass her the binoculars and she looks at the woman.
"Looks like your first instinct was right," Cole tells Phoebe as she had doubted it earlier.
"Maybe we should shimmer or orb over there," Phoebe suggests.
"And tell her what?" Cole asks. "That a demon is about to attack. I think we should wait right here."
I nod. "I hate to agree but he is right."
I turn away as the girl begins to take her jacket off. I am married and I feel rude.
"All right any ideas?" Phoebe asks Cole and I.
Cole looks like he is enjoying himself.
"A couple," he says.
Phoebe slaps him on the chest and I send a disgusted look his way. I did not want to hear that.
"I think she means about what we do now Cole," I say to him.
She nods. "Paula's right. I mean we can't just keep watching. It's just not right."
Cole moves to take the binoculars off of her as he speaks once more. "Your right we shouldn't just keep watching."
Phoebe pushes him back.
"Okay very good," he says to her.
We all turn as we hear a crash. Shax is there and he is staring at the young girl. He throws an energy ball at her. I am about to scream.
Right before it hits her she orbs out. My mouth drops open in shock. She's a whitelighter.
"She orbed," Phoebe points out.
I notice that she looks shocked as well. How can that be?
The young girl turns and runs away to inside the building. Shax winds out and disappears. I turn to my sister and her boyfriend.
"She orbed! Did you just see that?" Phoebe exclaims.
"Phoebe I've been orbing for three years," I say rolling my eyes. "OF COURSE I SEEN THAT!"
Cole grips my elbow and takes Phoebes hand he shimmers us out.
We shimmer to above the girl.
"What the hell?" She says shocked.
"Run!" I yell wondering what is wrong with this whitelighter. "Get out of here!"
I turn to see Cole still throwing energy balls at Shax.
"Say the spell damn it!" He tells Phoebe and I.
We grab hands and begin to chant.
"Evil wind that blows
that which forms below
no longer may you dwell
death takes you with this spell."
The spell affects Shax but as he begins to wind out he throws an energy ball at Cole and he goes flying over the railings. He shimmers out and then back in behind us. Phoebe gasps and quickly hugs him.
"That was close," she points out.
"It's okay, I'm all right," Cole promises her. "Really. It's your innocent I'm worried about."
*P4: Season four*
We are in the kitchen back at the manor. Piper is cleaning the dishes that we used for Prue's funeral. I have called Leo and told him what happened. He doesn't know what to believe. Piper hasn't said anything at all.
"Are you sure she orbed?" He asks and I raise an eyebrow at my husband. "Are you sure it wasn't something else?"
"Leo," I say and he turns to me. "I have been orbing for three years. I know what orbing is. She disappeared, bright white swirly thingys come and then she reappears. What else can do that?"
"It just doesn't make any sense," Leo says.
"Why not?" Cole comes to our defense.
"Because why would Shax want to kill a whitelighter?" He asks Cole.
"Maybe he doesn't know she's a whitelighter," Cole suggests to Leo.
"Right," Leo says sarcastically. "The source sends down his personal assassin but doesn't know who he's after."
A clash of plates and I can tell Piper is bothered by something. We all glance at her before looking back at each other.
"Is it possible that she didn't know that she is a whitelighter?" Phoebe asks.
"No, why?" Leo asks gently.
"Because she acted as if she didn't," Cole speaks what we all noticed. "She looked just as surprised as we were when she orbed out."
"Well that doesn't make any sense either," Leo says.
I raise my hands in annoyance.
"Honey do me a favor," I say to him. "Go and ask the elders what does make sense so we don't end up risking our lives again."
He nods and kisses me. "I'll be right back."
As he orbs out I sit down and place my head on the table. I don't know what it is but I have a strong urge to protect this girl.
"Maybe I should uh go to the other side and see what I can find out," Cole suggests.
I sit up knowing that Phoebe won't like that idea.
"No," Phoebe says worried.
"I'll be careful no one will see me. Besides," he pauses. "It could be good for me to go back. You know confuse any bounty hunters that might be trying to track me. Don't worry I won't disappear on you."
They kiss and I get up. As he shimmers out I turn to my sisters. Phoebe smiles a little at me. Then we turn to Piper. Dan had to go home and I think now is the time to have a little chat.
She is clenching the kitchen sink in anger.
"Hey you ok?" Phoebe asks her.
"Yeah sure," Piper says sarcastically and I feel a lecture coming on. "Why not? We could have another funeral tomorrow. I mean all the dishes are out and we pretty much know who to invite."
I sigh. Piper is clearly angry with us.
"Piper," Phoebe says.
Piper looses it and turns to the two of us and begins with her voice raised. "Just tell me one thing. Are you two insane or just plain stupid. We bury Prue this morning. And you two go off tonight and nearly join her. What the hell is the matter with you two?!"
Phoebe is the one to answer as I lower my head knowing that in one way she is right.
"I was trying to save an innocent," she tells Piper.
But Piper isn't done. "No you were both trying to get yourselves killed. Which is what this family does best get killed. Isn't it obvious by now that our only destiny is to die. And you are making it way too easy for them Phoebe and Paula. YOUR'RE JUST WALKING RIGHT INTO IT!"
She stops. Tears fill her eyes. Phoebe steps forward and pulls her into a hug. Then I get pulled into it as well.
"We are so sorry," Phoebe says.
"I cannot handle anything right now," Piper says to us both. "And I certainly can't handle loosing another sister. Either one."
Phoebe and I don't speak we all just hug.
*PO4: Season 4*
A few minutes later and Phoebe and I are sat in front of the fire in the living room.
Piper walks in with a cup and saucer in each hand. She hands one to Phoebe and one to me. Then she sits down next to me.
"Here this should help," she says. "It's chamomile. I had three cups."
"Thanks," I say to her and Phoebe nods.
Then we turn to stare into the fire once more.
I take a sip and place mine down. Then Phoebe does the same.
"Doesn't seem real does it?" Phoebe asks and I turn away from the fire to look at her.
"No," Piper replies before sighing. "What are we gonna do with all of her stuff? I mean what are we going to do with her car?"
"Sell it I guess," I suggest to her.
"Unless one of you two want it?" Piper asks.
"No," both Phoebe and I reply quickly.
We all join hands.
"We're gonna get through this you know," Phoebe says and I sigh in disbelief. "We just have to stick together."
Before we can reply Leo orbs in.
"Well?" Phoebe asks.
"Well," Leo replies. "They don't know anything about her. So she's definitely not a whitelighter."
"Then why can she orb?" I ask knowing what I seen.
"They can't explain it," Leo says to me.
"I mean how is it possible that-" Phoebe is cut off as Cole shimmers in right next to us.
I jump and he looks at the three of us.
"Sorry I took so long I had to dodge a couple of bounty hunters," he says.
"Did you find anything out?" Leo asks him.
We turn to him as he sits on the arm of the chair.
"You have no idea what I found out," he says. "Turns out the source doesn't think she's a whitelighter at all. In fact he thinks she might be another... charmed one."
My eyes widen in disbelief and I look from my husband to Cole.
"Thats why he put Shax on it," Cole continues and I look at my two other sisters. "He thought he ended the power of four now he's worried that this girl can somehow reconstitute it."
I am in shock. Phoebe asks the question that all three of us sisters are thinking.
"No but that's not possible," she says to Cole before turning to Leo. "Is that possible?"
Leo shrugs in response. Piper suddenly takes off for the stares and we all following calling out to her in question.
*PO4: Season 4*
We go into the attic and I see candles on the floor that were not there last night.
"What's going on?" Phoebe asks Piper.
Piper walks to the book as she answers her.
"I'm going to ask Grams whats going on actually," she informs us.
Phoebe and I share a look of confusion.
"Grams?" I question the oldest of us three.
She makes noise of agreement and I wonder how she plans to ask our dead grandmother.
"Your destiny still awaits she says," Piper quotes to my confusion. "Theres a reason for everything she says. So its time to summon her transparent butt back her and find out exactly what that reason is."
"Ok bu-" Phoebe begins but she is cut off as Piper begins to chant.
"Hear these words
hear my cries
spirit from the other side
come to me, I summon thee
cross now the great divide."
I glance at my husband and Cole. Then I look at the candles and see our grandmother appear. She is transparent but it is clearly her. She is also clearly confused.
"Piper... why are you calling?" She asks before spotting Phoebe and I. "Phoebe... Paula whats going on?"
Piper decides to get straight to the point.
"Grams," she says slowly. "Why does the source think that the charmed ones can be reconstituted?"
Is immediately clear that Grams knows something. She begins to stutter. "I... I.. don't know what you're talking about."
I decide to intervene.
"You know what Grams? You were a lousy liar when you were alive," I inform her coldly. "And now as a ghost... your worse."
I want to know how the charmed ones can be reconstituted and what it has to do with the young woman we seen earlier. Our innocent.
"If you know something Grams you have to tell us," Phoebe tells her. "We deserve to know."
Grams looks at the three of us.
"I can't," she tells us. "I'm sworn to secrecy."
"By who?" Phoebe asks wondering who could be hiding this.
"By me," A very familiar voice says and a moment later our mother appears besides Grams. "By me."
We all stare at her in shock. She knows about this.
"Mom?" Piper asks in shock.
Mum begins her story.
"We didn't tell anybody," she says pacing. "Because we were afraid that there would be reprisals. Afraid that you girls would be denied your powers. Your birthright."
I turn away. This cannot be leading to where I think.
"It happened after your father Piper and Phoebe and I broke up," she says before looking squarely at me. "When Sam and I were together."
My eyes go really wide. That would make her my full sister. From both mother and father.
"Sam?" Cole asks Leo and we all glance at him.
"Her white lighter," Leo states before looking at me. "And Paula's father."
"Hmm, apples don't fall far from the forbidden tree I see," Cole says..
I glare at him and snap. "Shush!"
He glances at me. Leo comes over and takes my hand.
"Go on," Piper says to our mother and Grams.
"Piper and Phoebe you were both only toddlers," Mom says and I begin to wonder. "Paula you wasn't even a year old. You just thought mummy got a little fat. You never knew I was pregnant."
I close my eyes and bite my lip. How could they do this?
"I was the only one who knew," Grams says.
"And Sam of course," mom says and I share a look with Piper and Phoebe.
"Well yes of course," Grams says.
I close my eyes and turn away. Mum looks and speaks only to me for the next part.
"We wanted to keep the baby," she says to me. "Of course... but mother."
I look up at Grams.
"Well I... I knew it would be a disaster," she says and I cross my arms. "We had to bind Paula's powers when she was born. Before you and Leo Paula it wasn't just forbidden it was unthinkable for witches to be with whitelighters. I mean let alone have children with them. They didn't know about Paula's powers till you all got them back and even then the only reason they agreed was because you were a charmed one. Sam couldn't come and see you or anything,"
I cannot believe this. I cannot believe they gave up my baby sister.
"So thats why we... we decided to give the baby up," she says and I squeeze Leo's hand tight. "Sam and I took her to a local church as soon as she was born and we asked the nun there to find a home for her. And she found one a very... a very good home."
"Yes," Grams agrees.
Leo squeezes my hand again. "Explains why the elders didn't know about her."
Phoebe like me has had enough.
"All right," she says walking forwards so she is right in front of our ghostly family members. "Hold it. Wait just one minute. Are you telling me... that that girl... our innocent... is really... our sister."
I tense at the use of that word.
"Your baby sister," mum says. "Well your twos half and your full sister Paula. But by my half. Which like Paula makes her a sister witch. Well actually not yet anyway. Not until all four of you are here together... by the book. Just like before."
"Charmed..." Grams says glancing from Phoebe to me to Piper. "Again."
"And I thought my family was screwed up," Cole says causing him to receive a glare from me.
Before anything else is said the attic door opens. The inspector from earlier and Darryl walk in. With two ghosts in the room.
"Well I'll be dammed," the inspector says.
*PO4: Season 4*
We are all frozen in shock.
Piper is the first to break the silence. "Darryl do something."
"He's a cop Piper," Darryl reminds her. "And he's got a search warrant."
I look around wondering how we are going to get out of this situation. The last time we were exposed it did not end well.
"And believe me I've found what I've been searching for," the inspector says and I bite the inside of my lip. Cole makes a move towards him but the inspector raises his gun. "Ah ah don't move. I'll shoot."
Cole retaliates with. "So will I."
"Cole," Leo cautions him pulling him back towards us.
"Ok inspector," Phoebe begins to try and reason with the man. "Just put the gun down. There is a very good explanation for all of this."
She stops and everyone waits for her to continue. "Feel free to chime in any time guys."
"My whole life I suspected evil magic was real," the inspector says. "That there was something more. I've seen too many horrible things on the job to suspect otherwise. Not the least of which are the two murders that happened here."
I give him a look.
"Wait are you accusing us-" Piper begins but the inspector cuts her off.
"I just began to accuse you lady," he says.
"All right," Grams begins and I wonder what she is up to. "fine you caught us. Congratulations, so what are you going to do about it shoot us?"
I give her a look. "Easy Grams. Not all of us are dead remember."
My sisters give her a look also.
"Hey look you cant arrest us," Leo says and I turn to look at him. "Especially not them. Nobody will ever believe you."
The inspector is clearly angry and has a plan.
"Well maybe not at first," he says to Leo. "I'm putting this whole place under constant surveillance. I'm taping your every move. Sooner or later I'll catch you doing something uh supernatural. And then-"
Before he finishes Darryl hits him with his gun and he is knocked out.
"I think you've been through enough today huh," Darryl says putting his gun away.
We all give him a grateful look.
"Thank you," Piper says.
Phoebe walks forwards towards our friend. "Darryl go. Get out of here. We don't want you to take the fall for this."
Darryl shakes his head at her. "No it's ok."
I step to Phoebes side to help her.
"No it's not Ok," I tell him. "This is our problem. He wants to expose us not you. Let us take care of this. Please."
Darryl clearly does not like the idea of leaving us right now.
"If you need me you know where to find me huh?" He asks Phoebe and I.
We nod and he takes his leave. Cole walks towards us.
"It doesn't solve your problem," he points out pointing to the inspector. "He's gonna wake up eventually. You just brought yourself some time."
I glance at my husband as he begins to speak.
"Which is what your gonna need especially if you want to save your..." he cuts off glancing at me.
"Sister," I finish with a grimace.
"Well what are you waiting for," Grams asks speaking to Phoebe and I. "Write a spell get rid of him."
"Get rid of him?" Phoebe questions.
"Well you know what I mean," Grams says. "Dump him somewhere. Anywhere. With all the witches in this room we ought to be able to do something with him. I mean just start rhyming. Take him back... take him away... remove him now don't let him stay."
She motions for Phoebe to continue the chant.
"We call the spirits... to help undo. And send him off to Timbuktu."
My mouth drops open at where she sent him. She walks over to Piper.
"I can't believe it worked," she says.
Piper sends her a look.
"Timbuktu," she says practically yelling. "You sent him to Timbuktu."
"All right well it was the only thing I could think of that rhymed with undo," Phoebe defends herself and I smile a little.
"Don't worry I'll find him," Cole says before shimmering out.
I turn away from everyone. "Ok well this is too much for me to handle. Way to much."
"No one can blame you for being angry sweetie," mum says.
I turn back to her with a look of disbelief.
"Angry," I repeat rubbing the back of my head. "Yeah I'm angry. Um I'm confused and you know what...this... this is just crazy. You cannot float in here after all these years and say oh by the way I forgot you've got a sister. Especially not today of all days."
Mum attempts to make me feel better. But it doesn't work.
"I know its a lot sweetie more than anybody should have to deal with," she says making me glare at the floor. "But you're going to have to deal with it. The best way you know how. Loosing Prue learning about another sister. This is your path. It's your destiny. Get angry at it, cry about it. But don't fight it. Or it will consume you."
I fight the tears that are threatening to fall right now.
"Come on Patti," Grams says grabbing mums hand. "The rest is up to them."
They then disappear leaving us angry and upset about everything that has happened.
*PO4: Season 4*
We head downstairs discussing ways to find our innocent.
"I can't sense where she is," Leo says as he leads the way down. "Because she's technically not a witch yet."
"All right," Phoebe says as we get down. "All we have to go on is that church that mum mentioned and the nun."
I nod but don't speak. Piper does instead. "Okay let's just get one thing straight. I'm only doing this to save her. I am not even remotely interested in reconstituting the-"
She pauses and so do I when I see why. There in the door way is our innocent. Our sister. I notice how the others look from me to her and I know why. We resemble each other so much.
"Charmed ones," Piper finishes.
Our sister looks a little uncomfortable.
"I... the door was open," she says and I share a look with the other two. "I'm sorry I shouldn't be here."
Phoebe jumps into action as she moves towards the door.
"NO, no, no. No, no," she says stopping her from leaving and leading her back this way. "We were just coming to look for you."
"You were?" She asks in confusion.
"Yep," Phoebe confirms leading her towards us as she continues to speak. "Come on in. Welcome. I'm Phoebe this is-"
"Piper and Paula," the young girl cuts her off making Piper and I nod at her. "I know I've been to your club. It's pretty great."
I nod and Piper speaks to her.
"Thank you," she says. "And you are?"
The girl answers immediately.
"Paige," she says and I look at her. "My name is Paige."
"Hmm another 'P' imagine that," I say to my other two sisters before holding my hand out to Paige. "It's nice to meet you."
Paige takes my hand and at that moment white lights flicker on the chandelier. I gather that this means something good. I share a look with Piper and Phoebe.
Paige quickly releases my hand.
"Okay," she says clearly worried. "What was that?"
"I think that means you're supposed to be here," Leo points out.
Paige glances at him.
Suddenly to doors come flying open. Then Shax comes in. He knocks all four of us sisters flying.
He comes towards us and I look for something to throw at him. We all get to our feet and Paige is freaking.
Leo jumps on Shax's back and begins to shout to us. "RUN! GET UPSTAIRS!"
"Leo!" I yell worried for my husband.
We do as he says and head for the stairs. Phoebe opens the door and Piper and I pull Paige into the attic.
"What are we doing?" Paige asks as we head for the book. "What is that thing?"
"We'll explain later," Phoebe says.
We find the spell to vanquish Shax. I turn to Paige. "Ok just say this spell out loud with us okay."
"Spell what are you guys witches?" She asks us.
"And so are you we hope," Phoebe says.
"Well were about to find out," Piper points out to us.
Suddenly the door blows up and theres Shax again.
We begin to chant.
"Evil wind that blows
that which forms below
no longer may you dwell
death takes you with this spell."
Shax blows up. I share a look with Piper and Phoebe.
"Shax wasn't enough," I say to the two of them. "We have to go after the source."
Paige who looked shocked when Shax blew up finally speaks.
"The source of what?" She asks the three of us.
Piper tries to explain to her. "Of all evil."
Paige now looks even worse. "What have you guys turned me into?"
She then goes running out of the door.
we call out to her but she ignores us as she runs.
I am worried that the source will go after her again. We need to find her.
