Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters on Charmed, they are owned
by Aaron Spelling and whoever else helped create that great show.
a/n: This is a prequel to my first story Trying To Save My Family. I thought I'd write a back round story to go along with it. Enjoy!
The Day the World Changed
"Daddy!" little Izzy shouted. "Daddy!!!"
"Izzy, honey, what is it? Why are you crying?"
"Mommy's in trouble, I saw it! We have to get there, we have to stop it!"
"Shhhh, shh, Izzy calm down honey and tell me what you saw."
She tried calming herself down as she told herself what she had seen in her premonition. But as she told Jason Dean what was about to happen to her mother and aunts Izzy got hysterical yet again. Upon hearing his daughter's words, Jason knew he had to get to the Manor right away. Izzy had inherited her mother's gift of premonitions along with a few other traits that came with being a child of a Halliwell.
"Izzy, stay here and don't worry about a thing, you mom is gonna be fine." He said as he grabbed his jacket.
"Daddy, no! You'll be in even more danger then them! Don't leave me here by myself!" she shouted running after him. Jason looked back at his little girl, he couldn't leave her by herself like this. He sighed, "Come on honey, hurry."
When they arrived at the Manor, Izzy ran inside the back door first. The scene that greeted them in the front hallway told Jason they had been too late. Every single time he came face to face with a demon he was slightly taken aback. It was a feeling of shock that lasted about a second, one that had diminished over time but was still there none the less. They presented a dangerous threat but Phoebe and her sisters had always managed to save the day, except this time. Now his wife and her sisters lay on the floor, dead and the demon that had killed them was still there. Jason was barely aware of his nephew Chris standing on the stairs as he tried protecting his only daughter. He held Izzy back, she wanted to run to her mother's side but the demon was still there with that smug smirk on his face.
The demon looked up at his next victims, Izzy and Jason. One of those energy balls formed in his hand as Jason's other nephew, Wyatt orbed in. Jason was preparing for the worst and trying to shelter Izzy from him, when the next thing he knew the demon was gone. Exploded right in front of him, Wyatt had vanquished the demon. Jason finally let go of his daughter and she ran to her mother's body that lay along side her aunt's. Grief stricken, Jason watched his daughter cry over her mom and aunts. Wyatt watched as well knowing it was too late to do anything, they were gone.
"Dad!!!" they heard. Jason looked over at the stairs becoming fully aware for the first time of his other nephew's presence. Chris had been standing there the whole time, he had probably seen the whole thing happen right in front of him. Just like Izzy had in her head before they got had gotten there with that premonition she had. Chris ran down the remaining stairs and knelt over them. He was crying just like Izzy as he looked up and yelled "Dad!!!" again.
"Chris, it's too late!" Wyatt said.
"No! It's never too late! Dad!!" Chris shouted again.
Finally Leo appeared in his Elder robes. Pain ran across his face as he saw the scene in front of him. But he too knew what Wyatt and Jason knew, they were gone. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige were all dead now. There was nothing any of them could do to change it.
*****
It would have been a beautiful day if it hadn't been for the fact that it was a triple funeral for Piper, Phoebe, and Paige. A lot of people were there, but none felt the sorrow that was shared between the family members. It was much like Prue's funeral that had been held so long ago. Piper and Phoebe would finally be able to see their beloved sister again. And Paige would finally meet her, the sister she had struggled to be as good as. In Paige's mind, she would never compare to Prue Halliwell and she had never wanted to either.
Leo hadn't left quickly after it had happened. He stayed and helped plan the funeral and Jason had half expected him to stay around for his sons as well. But really in the end it was only about a month. One day a few weeks after it had happened Jason, Richard and Leo all met at the Manor. Leo wanted to talk about the future.
"It's obvious I can't stay down here forever and given our present situations I think it would be better if we discussed the possibility of sending the kids to magic school."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Jason asked.
"Magic school, you want us to leave them there?" Richard asked.
"No, not leave them. Richard think about it, you've always had problems handling your magic and Jason, well you—"
"Aren't magical, yes Leo I know that! But that doesn't mean I can't raise my daughter!"
"Jason, I think we should hear him out." Richard said, "God knows we can't train them all in their powers like the girls could have. I don't want to leave the girls there all alone either but its better then my going off the deep end again with magic."
"Yeah well unlike you Richard, I don't have any problems with magic! Unless you count the fact that I'm not magical myself and Izzy is, which Leo obviously does!"
"Jason, I wasn't trying to say that you couldn't take care of her—" Leo started.
"Oh really? That's what it sounded like to me! Well unlike the two of you, I'm leaving this decision up to her. I don't care if she's a witch and has some destiny, she's still my daughter damnit! If she wants to go off to some magic school then that's her choice, but I doubt she'll want to." Jason shouted storming out of the room.
