Chapter 1.

Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed or any of the Charmed characters.

A?N This is during season 2 when Leo is not with Piper, but there is no Dan at all.

Prue, Piper and Phoebe were sitting at the kitchen table in Halliwell Manor. They were drinking their usual morning coffee and eating some muffins that Piper made.

They had the t.v turned on but none of them were actually listening to it. they were talking about what they were going to do that night. They had all planned to have a sisterly night as demon activity had been rather low.

The Halliwell sisters were witches, but not just ordinary witches, they were the Charmed Ones. this meant they were the most powerful witches to ever walk the Earth, thus meaning they had demons constantly trying to kill them. however the last few weeks they hadn't seen a demon, so were chancing their luck at having a night in, demon free.

"I should be home by 6, so I'll pick up a few movies on the way home." Prue said sipping on her coffee.

"And I'll cook us some food and snacks." Piper said they turned to Phoebe waiting for her to say something but noticed her eyes were fixed on the T.v screen. "Phoebs, you okay." Piper asked.

"Turn that up." She said. Prue who was closest to the t.v turned the volume up so they could all hear what the weather reporter was saying.

"..they are saying the Earthquake could hit San Francisco anytime soon, maybe even today. It is going to be the worst one we've have for more than 50years. Anyone in San Francisco today becareful, it is not yet certain when it will hit. Stay away from high places, or anything dangerous."

Prue turned the volume back down when she was finished. "Well, I've got to get to work." She said placing her cup in the sink and grabbing her keys."

"What? Are you mad Prue? You just heard what they said, the biggest Earthquake in more than 5oyears is supposed to hit in one of the next few days, maybe even today, and you're going to go to work!"

"Phoebe, last time they said there was going to be an Earthquake there wasn't, you know the chances of them being right is very slim. Plus I've got to get to a photo shoot, it's really important."

"She's right Phoebs, we can't sit in the house scared, I don't like Earthquakes either but I've got to get to the club. We'll be home as soon as we can Phoebs. But if there is an Earthquake stay away from the sun room and the kitchen." She got up the kissed Phoebe on the forehead. "I love you Phoebe. And don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Same here." She also kissed Phoebe on the forehead, then her and Piper left together.

Phoebe walked around downstairs for a bit, then decided to get ready for the day, Prue and Piper were right, they hardly ever had Earthquakes when they were supposed to. She got in the shower, letting the hot water wash her worries away.

Prue walked into Bucklands auction house and headed over to the elevators. She sighed knowing that she had a long day ahead of her. They had a huge collection to sell and had to raise $50'000 or the auction house would be shut down. She was also worried about Phoebe. She knew how scared of Earthquakes her sister was but the last few times an earthquake was predicted nothing happened, so why should this time be any different? But somewhere deep down she had a feeling that this time was in fact different. She had a dreading feeling that she only usually had when there was trouble ahead. The elevator bell dinged and she walked down the hall to her office. She sat down at her desk and pulled her laptop out of its case. Then she felt it, a small tremor in her office, which caused the ornaments to shake. Then her dreading feeling got worse, this time was different for sure, this time there was going to be an Earthquake, and a big one at that.

Piper go to her club just in time for the delivery. She sighed when she walked in and saw the piles of boxes.

"Today's going to be a long day." She whispered as she picked up the box of straws and started to count them as she put them away. After 15 minutes she moved onto the next box. This one had beer in it so she started to put them in the fridge under the counter.

She like Prue had a dreading feeling in the pit of her stomach, though this one was different. She was sure they were going to have an Earthquake, she always felt this was before something bad happened, and it had got stronger since finding out she was a witch. She wanted to be back in the Manor with Phoebe when they had the Earthquake, she knew how scared her sister was and she wanted to be there with her, to comfort her, but she knew she had to get the club ready for the next night. Also she herself was also petrified of Earthquakes, and wanted to be with her sisters when it happened.

She was about to put the next bottle in the fridge when she felt the floor shake, it only lasted a second but it was enough to make her lose her footing and fall to the floor. She cursed under her breathe and knew that San Francisco was in for a shock, every time they had an Earthquake it started off with small tremors that got stronger and lasted longer. Now the feeling in her stomach made her feel sick but she knew it was risky to go out in the car incase another one came. She just hoped Phoebe would be okay in the Manor, at least it was a strong build so she would be safe. She wasn't sure about herself though, she started putting more bottles away hoping to get them all done by the next shake.

Phoebe got out of the shower and headed downstairs. She turned on the t.v in the living room to listen to the news. Nothing was on about the Earthquake, so she went to get a drink. She hated Earthquakes, she had been terrified of them since she was a little girl and her grams had told her a story about a woogey man who came out of the basement after Earthquakes. They had vanquished him the year before but she was still scared he would come back. She headed back into the living room and sat down. She wished Prue and Piper were with her. They had always comforted her during earthquakes, even though Piper was scared of them herself. She thought of them in work, Prue in the auction house where anything could hurt her and Piper in the bar, where anything could fall on her. She regretted letting them go without a fight but she knew they would've gone anyway, plus their powers could help them if they got into trouble. She was about to head up to the attic to make some potions incase a demon decided to attack during the earthquake when she felt it. the first sign of an earthquake, it only lasted a couple of seconds but it was long enough to tell her what she feared. That an Earthquake was on its way. She needed to call her sisters and make sure they were all right. She knew they would be but it gave her something to do. She walked over to the phone, and dialed Prue's office number, her hands were trembling but she ignored it an was relieved when her sisters voice rang over the phone.

"Hello, Prue Halliwell."

She sighed in relief and carried on talking to her oldest sister, the sound of her voice calming her nerves.
