The Darkness Chronicles: Chapter I

(Note: This is a direct sequel to my previous story, Drastic Measures, and I would reccomond reading that one first. You can still follow the Darkness Chronicles if you did not read Drastic Measures, but it is not reccomonded. Thanks.)

A man took off down an alleyway, constantly looking over his shoulder as if something was chasing him. As he continued to look over his shoulder, he bumped into someone. He slowly turned around in horror, and.....

"No!" the man screamed. "Please don't kill me!"

"Who says I'm going to kill you?" Piper asked him with a sly grin.

Toying with the victims is so much fun. Piper thought.

The man backed away slowly, his face full of fear.

"Be-be-because....because I saw you do it to that other man!" he said.

Piper just smiled evilly as she continued to advance on him. The man, however, soon bumped into another person as he was backing up. This time, he didn't get a chance to look first, as a single hand reached around his throat. As the man gasped for air, Phoebe used her new power of increased strength to lift him far off the ground, and then tossed him across the alleyway and into a dumpster.

"I love that." Phoebe said with a laugh.

She and Piper walked over to the dumpster, just as the man managed to pull himself up.

"No! Please!" the man begged. "I don't want to die! Go kill someone else!"

Piper reached out one single hand towards the man, and instantly his entire body went numb. Piper's new power had completley paralayzed him. She twisted her hand around and the man's throat began collapsing in itself, causing him to grab it and gasp for air.

"Come here." Piper said softly, and the man's body floated over to Piper, just inches from her face.

"You're very good-looking." Piper told him.

Piper leaned over and kissed him on the mouth, using her powers to make his lips move along with the kiss as well. After a few moments, Piper released the liplock.

"Bored now." Phoebe said from behind her.

"You can have the kill." Piper said nonchalantly.

Phoebe smilled evilly as she walked up in front of the paralayzed man. She waved her arms, and he slowly burned to death until he was nothing more than ashes. Phoebe waved her hand and a gust of wind blew the ashes away.

"That was fun." Phoebe said.

"Don't you think it was a little boring, though?" Piper asked her.

"Yes, if we didn't play with the little peon first, he wouldn't have lasted half that long." Phoebe agreed. "I wish we actually had a semi-powerful enemy."

Piper shrugged and blinked out. Phoebe blinked out as well.



"Something must be done." one of the Elders said. "The balance between good and evil has been lost, and I fear if it continues, the prophecies shall come true and the Dark Charmed Ones shall lead darkness to complete and total domination of Earth."

The Elders were holding an emergency meeting about the Dark Charmed Ones.

"We don't have any witch who can even come close to matching up with them." another Elder pointed out.

"Not neccesairly." the first Elder replied. "There may be one who can fight them and live to tell about it."

The Elders all talked and watched Paige below on Earth, living a normal life.



Piper and Phoebe blinked back into the Underworld. The Source had spared nothing in treating his prised Warlocks right, and he had actually had the entire Halliwell Manor transported to the Underworld, which is where Piper and Phoebe were standing outside of. Piper opened the door to their "happy home", and nothing major seemed to have been changed.

"Wonder where Cole is." Phoebe wondered, and then went upstairs to check as Piper rolled her eyes.

I will never understand why she has chosen to continue to love Cole and keep part of her good side. Piper thought. Forget the freedom for a second, but we Dark Charmed Ones are invinciable and immortal when we are completley evil! Phoebe is foolish.

Piper sighed and walked into the living room. She sat down on the couch and turned on the TV- another Source touch- and began flicking through the channels.



Phoebe heard the shower on as she entered her's and Cole's room, and Phoebe walked over and peeked inside their bathroom, dodging and laughing as Cole through a sponge at her. She closed the door and sat down on their bed and removed her top, laying down on top of the bed.

"C'mon Cole, the hot water's going to run out!" Phoebe yelled.

A few minutes later, Cole stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in his towel.

"We're not going to run out of hot water down here." Cole said.

"Not funny." Phoebe said as she smacked her new husband over the head with a pillow. She went into th bathroom, to use the shower herself. Cole sat down on the bed, still just wrapped in the towel.

"So how'd it go?" Cole asked her.

"Easy enough." Phoebe replied from in the shower. "I enjoy torturing them, but that thing Piper does is just creepy."

"You mean where she kisses them before she kills them?" Cole asked her.

"Exactly." Phoebe answered. "There's some definite sexual tension there."

"She needs a boyfriend." Cole said with a laugh.

"Her?" Phoebe said sarcastically. "All she wants to talk about is prophecy this and armageddon that. That girl couldn't keep someone interested for more than two fucking seconds."

I'm just happy that I still have you, my love. Cole thought.



A man walked up in front of the Elders inside their chamber, as they watched him from some sort of grandstand above him. The man was wearing a white robe with a hood, and was carrying a sack of some sort.

"Dump the pieces." one of the Elders said.

The man nodded and dumped the pieces of a person Piper had frozen and shattered.

"Leo!" the Elder said. "I command your spirit to reawaken and reassemble your body!"

The pieces glowed with white light, and after a few seconds the white light became the shape of a person. When the glowing stopped, Leo was standing there.

"Where's Piper?" Leo immeaditley shouted. "I HAVE TO FIND PIPER!"

"Relax, Leo." the Elder said.

"But wait.....how am I alive again?" Leo asked her. "You made me human."

"No, we did no such thing." another Elder answered. "We simply removed your powers to give the illusion that you were human again. We knew that while your only chance at reaching Piper was as a human, she was just as likely to kill you. So, you were a White Lighter all along, Leo- you just didn't know it."

"So, do I have my powers back?" Leo asked him.

"Yes." the Elder replied.

"Good." Leo said. "Now, where is Piper?"

"Piper and Phoebe have become the most powerful Warlocks of all time as the right-hand women of The Source, and their evil powers grow stronger everyday." another Elder told him. "There is only one person who can stop them."

"Paige." Leo said.

"Exactly." the Elder agreed. "You must retrieve her and give her the Sacred Power."

"I'm on it." Leo said, and he orbbed out.



Phoebe and Cole, now fully-dressed, were lounging on their bed watching TV, when a knock came at their door.

"What is it?" Phoebe asked her.

"We've been summoned to The Source's chambers." Piper said. "Apparently he has some kind of high-profile mission for us."

Phoebe opened the bedroom door.

"About time." Phoebe said with a smile. "I've been tired of all the recent assignments we've had. Nothing but killing powerless humans who will do good later in their lives."

"Well, come on then." Piper said. "Not a good idea to keep The Source waiting."

Phoebe nodded in agreement, then turned back to Cole.

"I'll be back." Phoebe told her.

"And I'll be here waiting for you." Cole replied.

Phoebe smiled as Piper pretended to throw up. Phoebe's elbow then conviently found its way to Piper's stomach.

"Ow!" Piper yelled out.

Phoebe laughed and blinked out, and Piper blinked out after her.



The two Warlocks blinked into The Source's chamber, on top of his high platform, where The Source sat and The Seer watched on.

"This mission is particuarly important." The Source said. "Do you remember Paige?"

"The product of my mother's fucking of a White Lighter, of course I remember the stupid bitch." Piper said. "What do you want us to do, kill her? Easy, she's just a human. I killed her when she had that lightning think inside her, how hard do you think it will be to kill her as a human?"

"Harder than you would expect." The Source replied. "Do not get overconfident. Paige is of great need to Good, and they will have some strong Witches protecting her.

Piper's eyes lit up.

"Finally!" Piper said almost happily. "A battle that won't be a fucking pushover! Hopefully one of those little bitches has a useful power instead of the same old shit."

"If you don't mind me asking, why exactly are we killing Paige again?" Phoebe asked him. "Not that I mind, I don't even know the bitch, but I'm just curious."

"Good is the one that has dragged her into this." The Source said. "I would have had no reason to kill her otherwise- obviously I'm not going to worry about what killing a powerless human with no future, they can be useful as slaves when we take over. But, Good has plans for her."

"What sort of plans?" Phoebe asked him.

"What else?" Piper replied for him. "Killing us. The bastards aren't grateful for all we did for Good."

"But how?" Phoebe asked. "I mean, Paige can't access the Power of Three without us, nor can she be any sort of a match for us as a regular Witch or half-Whitelighter if they decide to activate her powers."

"The prophecies make mention to a Sacred Power." The Seer answered. "This is the power that can stand up to evil and threaten to change the course of the future. If the Sacred Power is given to someone with a strong will, it can grow until her powers can rival or even surpass that of yours. And while Piper may be competley unkillable, there are plenty of ways to take her out of the fight. Such as paralayzing her body, or locking her in another dimension."

"We have every reason to believe Paige will be recieving that power" The Source said. "According to what we've heard from spies, she is the only one currently on Earth that can allow the power to grow to its full potiental, which will be neccesary to fight off evil without the Power of Three on Good's side anymore."

"So we kill the little bitch before she gets a chance to recieve the power, and Good is screwed." Piper said. "Makes sense to me."

Phoebe nodded in agreement.

"Go." The Source told them. "Kill Paige and Good will be rendered helpless as we take control and the prophecies are forfilled."

Piper and Phoebe nodded and they blinked out.

"I am worried." The Seer said. "The future is very cloudy from this point on. It is possiable that the girls will fail and Paige will claim the Sacred Power, and that puts the future fortold by the prophecies at great risk."

"The prophecies must be forfilled." The Source replied. "One way or another, evil shall take control. Even if it means sacrificing my own life."
