After a very, very long break from writing, in which I spent a lot of time considering whether or not I would ever write again (what do you think I chose to do??), I'm back with another Charmed story. This is the story that I mentioned in my previous fic (The Legend of the 4) that I would do relating to Paige's wedding. the idea which continues from certain events in said previous fic. Despite what you may or may not think this won't be a romance fic because I'm not very romantic and thus I have a problem relating romance into a story. There may be love scenes, I'm not sure yet. It will be for the most part like my previous fic in the way that there will be a demon up to no good and the girls have to stop said demon. As you can see I've included a little poem (it was meant to be a spell but I found the spell would work better in the main body of the story so look forward to it later) which gives a brief overview of the plot. Now on with the story, Enjoy!
Love or Lust?
Prologue
By NeoBlitz
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two lovers wed under Autumn moon
But in the background shadows loom,
Evil shall strike, and it will be soon,
But will this evil cause their doom?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A girl with long, luxurious black hair hanging down below her shoulders suddenly appeared in the dark and dank cavern in a flurry of bright blue lights. Her eyes darted from side to side inspecting every nook and cranny of the cavern. She was looking for something, and that something was well aware of the girl.
It moved with catlike agility from where it was surveying the girl and darted around the corner where she was completely out of the girl's view. It was unusually anxious and it could feel the cold sweat dripping all over it. It didn't dare gasp, afraid that the girl might see it and bring about its doom.
The girl suddenly turned about to face the direction where the noise, albeit a very quiet one, so quiet that she thought she had imagined it. She narrowed her eyes to slits and peered very carefully at the passageway where the noise appeared to have come from and very cautiously inched sidewards. Step by step she made her way toward the passageway.
It could hear the quiet footsteps of the girl making her way toward it. It made a quick decision and sprang out at the girl and hurled a ball of pure electricity at the girl.
The girl disappeared in a flurry of blue lights and the ball smashed into a wall. She reappeared seconds later and sent a blast of cold air at the demon and it became frozen in ice. The girl shoved her hands into her pockets and fiddled about trying to find something. A look of triumph suddenly crossed her face and she pulled out a slip of paper with something written on it. She threw a glass vial with a reddish pink liquid inside it at the frozen demon and begin to chant:
"I call upon the Power of Three,
Vanquish this evil and set me free.
Destroy this demon encased in ice,
When this chant has been uttered thrice."
She repeated it twice more and then looked up from the paper to stare at the demon. The ice began to thaw rapidly and then the demon began to convulse before exploding into nothingness.
The demon fell to the ground with the power it felt from this glimpse into the future. It quickly stood up and regained its composure and spoke to the woman beside it.
"So Seer if what you have shown me is correct then this child is likely to bring about my end. How can I stop this from happening?"
"What I have shown you is the future that will come about if you do not take steps to prevent it. And in order to prevent it you have to stop the witch's parents marrying and conceiving her," the Seer replied.
"But you saw yourself that the witch called upon the Power of Three and so her mother must be a Charmed One. And you are also aware that no demon that has gone up against the Charmed Ones has lived to tell of it."
"There is no need to go up against the Charmed Ones. The witch's mother is to wed a mortal, and you mustn't forget that the witch herself has the same weaknesses as regular mortals. Use your power and you need not fight the Charmed Ones, but you will break up the future parent's of your future vanquisher," the Seer responded.
"Thank you Seer, your council has been of great use to me. Now I must leave to further think about what I shall do."
"Before you leave remember this: the Charmed One will marry on the day of the first full moon of Autumn, you must put a stop to the wedding before that," the Seer advised.
The demon stopped for a moment to fully take this advice in before disappearing in a cloud of red smoke.
To be continued…

Well there's the prologue. I'll start work on chapter 1 now, but be warned I have great trouble starting a chapter off so it might be some time before it's posted, but I'll try my best to get it done soon.
