Three Witches and The Hunters

Part 1

AN: This is an AU story and takes place in the beginning of the 8th season. Leo died 2 months after Chris was born in a tragic accident (I did this so Piper would have a suitable mourning period.) Pairings: Piper/Dean, Phoebe/Coop, Paige/Henry and Billie/Sam.

A black, four door 1967 Chevy Impala made it's way down a lonely stretch of highway on a humid, sunny afternoon. Sam turned down the radio that was blasting Led Zeppelin at ear bleeding levels.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing?" Dean demanded, glaring at his younger brother before continuing, "Driver of the car commands the radio! Shotgun shuts his cakehole!"

"Where are we going?" asked Sam, ignoring the other man's bluster.

Dean smirked, "San Francisco, Bobby says there have been some disturbances there, possibly demonic and there may be something big about to go down."

"Okaay, how big?" Sam replied with a raised brow.

"Don't know, that's what we're gonna find out. Lets find someplace to eat, I'm starving," he finished as they drove into the city limits.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Billie, will you relax," said Phoebe, with a hint of laughter in her voice as she watched the young blond woman tear through racks of clothing.

"There's no time to relax. I have to find stuff for Christy to wear," she replied as she inspected a pink ruffled shirt. "Do you think she'll like this one?"

"I'm sure she will like what ever you pick out," Phoebe replied as she put a gentle hand on Billie's shoulder. "Don't worry so much about getting her things, just spend time with her and let her know you're there for her as she adjusts to her new found freedom."

Billie's older sister Christy had been kidnapped by a demon when they were both very young children. It wasn't until two weeks ago until they were finally reunited. Since Christy had been found, she hadn't spoken a word.

"I know, but I just feel so guilty. Like I should make it up to her somehow, for all the birthdays, holidays and other things that she missed out on," Billie replied with a heavy sigh.

"It wasn't your fault that she was kidnapped and held prisoner for all those years. The important thing is that she is safe now and can begin a new life." Phoebe eyed the four shopping bags. "I think we have enough right now. You know, Piper did offer to give you some of her clothes."

"Yeah, but I didn't want to impose on her. I mean we're imposing on her enough with both Christy and me at the manor."

"She loves having you guys there. She wouldn't let you stay if she didn't."

"OK," said Billie as she lifted the bags off the floor.

Phoebe but her arm around Billie's shoulder and guided her toward the exit before saying "I have to get back to the paper soon, we can pick up something to eat and I can drop you off at the manor."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Billie chuckled silently as she listened to Phoebe's end of the conversation on the cell phone as they walked through the piazza back to the car.

"Y…Yes Elise…I understand that. It was an emergency…. B…But…Absolutely, the article will be on your desk tomorrow morning," said Phoebe who looked exasperated.

Billie glanced back at her friend in sympathy and mouthed, "I'm sorry," before she turned around and walked into a wall. The air left her chest in a whoosh as two strong hands reached out to steady her.

"Sorry about that. Are you alright?" asked a deep, masculine voice.

The wall turned out to be a hard, muscled chest. Billie looked up and nearly gasped at the handsome man staring back at her with big brown eyes. Women would kill for the lashes he had. The sun shining on his shaggy brown hair gave him a nearly angelic look.

"Uh…no problem… It was my fault…not looking where I was going," Billie replied. Did her voice just sound breathy? So an incredibly gorgeous man was looking at her did not mean she had to get all-weak in the knees.

"Billie! Are you all right?" Phoebe exclaimed as she ran up to her, glancing at the two men before turning her attention back to her friend.

"Yeah, I'm fine," said Billie as she saw that the man was still staring at her.

"Actually it's his fault for being so freakishly tall. Can't see a thing in front of him at times," said the man standing beside him with obvious humor. He was just as handsome with short, dark blond hair and green eyes. She would guess his height to be about 6'1 and the dark haired one had to be at least three inches taller. They both wore work shirts, blue jeans and cowboy boots.

"No harm done," smiled Sam as he picked up her packages and handed them back to Billie. "Here you go."

"Um…thanks."

Phoebe hid a grin as she noticed a piece of paper on the ground near the dark headed man's foot. "Oh, is this yours?" she asked, as she bent down to pick it up. Once she touched the paper she was pulled into a premonition. She saw both men being attacked by a demon in the park, the dark haired one being severely injured. Just as quickly as the premonition came, it was gone.

"Are you alright?" Sam asked as he took the paper from her hand, a worried expression on his face.

"Um… I'm fine… thanks. Sorry, got a little light headed there," she replied, forcing a smile on her face. "Let's go Billie," she said as she grabbed the other woman's arm. Giving the men a quick wave they headed for the car.

Both Dean and Sam stared after the two women as they hurried away.

"That was weird," said Sam.

"Tell me about it. Guess all the nuts are in San Francisco," Dean said with a shake of his head. "Too bad though, they were hot. I think the blond could have finally made a man out of you," he finished with a smirk.

"Bite me," Sam responded with a swat to Dean's shoulder.

Manor:

"Phoebe! What was that all about?" asked Billie as they entered the house.

Phoebe quickly called over her shoulder before she ran up the stairs, "I had a premonition. Those two guys we bumped into today are going to be attacked by a demon."

"What!" Billie gasped as she followed Phoebe into the attic.

"I thought I heard you guys come in. What's up?" said Piper as she entered the attic.

Phoebe told her older sister of the days events as she flipped through the book of shadows. Billie went to check on Christy.

"Do you have any idea when it'll happen?" asked Piper as she stood beside Phoebe in front of the book."

"No, but it'll probably be soon. I know that it will be at Lincoln Park. As a matter of fact I had heard that there had been some strange disappearances there." After a few moments Phoebe exclaimed, "There he is! Upper level demon, feeds on the life force of its victims until they are nothing more than a hollow shell."

"Nice one," Piper replied in her usual sarcastic manner, she read further before continuing, " It says he can be stopped by the power of three spell. We should also make some potions to give us added power."

"Good idea. I'll call Paige," said Phoebe as Piper went to make the potions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Motel Room:

Dean sat on the bed cleaning their guns while Sam looked up information on his laptop.

"You find anything?" asked Dean.

"Yeah, seems to be some strange stuff going on at Lincoln Park. Three people at different times have disappeared in that area, but the weird thing is that when they are found alive it's as though they are empty husks. No memory of who they are or what happened to them"

"Ugh," Dean grimaced. Once the ammunitions were ready he got a bottle of holy water. "Let's take out this son of a bitch."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manor: Kitchen

"OK, that's the last of the potion," said Piper as she capped the vial with the amber colored liquid. She looked over at Phoebe and Paige at the table.

"Phoebe and I have the spell," said Paige.

Phoebe felt another premonition. It was the same one as before. "Let's go guys, I think it's happening now."

Piper, Phoebe held on to Paige's hands as they orbed from the manor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lincoln Park:

"Spooky here at night," said Sam as he shone his flashlight in front of him.

"Yeah. Don't see anything yet. Gotta be around here somewhere," Dean replied as he checked his EMF indicator.

Suddenly a man appeared in front of them as if out of thin air. A cold smile came to his face before he spoke, "Gentlemen, it looks like you picked a bad time to come to here."

Dean saw the indicator light up like a Christmas tree.

"Is that so," said Dean as he aimed his gun at him. Sam had his gun raised too as well as the bottle of holy water.

The demon raised his hand as if to strike when Dean pulled off a few rounds with his gun. It demon staggered back at first and continued to move forward as a ball of fire appeared in his hand.

"What the hell!" Dean said as he shot his gun again. Sam fired on the demon too but it had little affect. The demon moved his hand and sent Sam flying across the park. Sam landed on the ground with a thud.

"Sammy!"

Dean was still shooting as he ran to check on his brother.

Suddenly there was a swirl of white lights and three women appeared. One of the women Dean recognized from earlier today. They threw something at the Demon and began to chant. The demon screamed out "Your time will end witches!" before exploding into nothingness.

Phoebe turned her head and saw the two men a few feet away. The blond one was staring at them as he knelt down beside his friend who was seated on the ground.

Piper, Phoebe and Paige moved toward Dean and Sam.

Dean couldn't believe his eyes. The demon had called them witches. They had vanquished the demon but they were still witches and the last time he had dealt with witches he and Sammy had nearly been killed.

"Are you…" Piper started, before she and her sisters were doused with water. She looked at the scowling blond man incredulously. "We save your asses and you throw water on us?!"

"Was it supposed to make us melt or something?" asked Paige as she flicked the water out of her eyes.

"Cristo!" Sam wheezed, holding his hand to his side.

"Why is he saying God in Latin to us?" Phoebe asked, looking at her sisters.

Dean spoke up for the first time. "We thought you were a demon or possessed."

"We're not," said Piper, as she ran her hands through her damp hair.

"You're witches, right?" said Dean, still not completely trusting them.

"Yes, but we're good witches. We help people and fight demons," said Paige. She saw that Sam was in great pain and holding his bloody side. "You're hurt. I can help," she said as she bent down and placed her hand over Sam's wound. A warm golden light appeared from her hands.

"What is she doing?" Dean asked in shock.

"She's healing him," said Piper gently. After a moment the wound was gone. Sam stood up, not fully believing what had just happened.

"I'm Piper by the way. Piper Halliwell. And these are my sisters Paige and Phoebe,"

"Dean Winchester and this is my brother Sam."

"You probably have a lot of questions, so what do you say we get out of here," said Phoebe.

"Good idea," said Dean.

Soon the Charmed ones and the Winchester brothers were headed for the Manor.
