Why?
Today...of all days... is where my life turned upside down. I don't know how it happen but it did. My name is Prudence Halliwell but everybody calls me Prue, for short. I'm 18 years old and I have 2 sisters named Piper Halliwell , who's the middle child , and Phoebe Halliwell the youngest. My mom, Patricia Halliwell, died when I was little. My dad left me and my sisters a year later. The only person who took care of us was our lovely grandmother, Penelope Halliwell. This is where it all started...this...is how the charmed ones are born.
(The phone rang early in the morning)
I was trying to get the phone, but I was so tired. I'll get it if the phone continues ringing. ( 5 minutes later) Damn that phone just won't stop ringing!
" Hello " I said.
" Is this Penelope Halliwell " the caller said.
" No, I'm her granddaughter, who's this?" I said.
" Where is Penelope!" the caller yelled.
" I'm not telling you where she is until you tell me your name!" I yelled.
Okay like literally does this person wants me to scream early in the morning...in fact...it's 4:00 a.m. I should just hang up and go back to sleep.
"If you don't give me the phone to Penelope then I'll ..." the caller stopped.
" What? What are you going to do? Kill me!" I laughed.
The caller didn't say anything...I was waiting for a respond but there was nothing...I didn't even hear a breathe on the line...I knew that something was wrong.
" Hello!...Are you still there?!" I waited.
Then I got scared right away and thought that I should hang up.
"I'm going to hang up now...any second...at least say something!" I yelled.
Still...no reply. I hanged up because I gave up trying to give the guy a chance to talk. I looked at the time and it was 4:05 a.m.
"I guess it's time to go back to sleep " I thought. Right when I was going to go upstairs, I heard the front door open very slowly. Then, I heard footsteps...like someone was walking. All of a sudden, you can hear footsteps like someone was running.
"Oh my god!" I whispered.
I ran upstairs very quickly and headed to my grandma's room. Right when I open the door to her room, I ran to my grandma and tried to wake her up. But when I open the covers, there was pillows instead of grandma.
"What?...Where is she?" I said.
All of a sudden,my grandma's closet open automatically. Pure darkness was inside...no clothes...no shoes...
Then the lights turned off from all of the rooms at the same time. I peaked downstairs to hear if the footsteps were gone . I heard nothing.
Then I walk towards Piper's room. I shut her door softly, then I ran quickly to her bed and knocked her down!
"PRUE!WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?!" Piper yelled.
"Shh shh sh calm down" I said quietly.
"CALM DOWN!? ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T KNOW ME?" Piper said.
Man I guess I have to tell her, but I know she won't like it.
"Piper" I said.
"What?" she said.
" Somebody is in our house" I said.
"Somebody...like who?" she asked.
"Stranger" I said.
"What?" Piper said.
"I think he/she is going to kill us!" I whispered.
"Yeah right!" she laughed.
" I'm serious! don't you care about your life is in stake...Our life" I said.
" Prue it's 4:13 a.m. do you really think somebody is going to waste their bedtime for killing us early in the morning?" she said.
"Well...maybe, but I heard footsteps, and doors..."
"You know what I think?" Piper interrupted.
I looked at her in a confused face.
"I think that you had a bad dream, and it was so scary that it made you not think clearly. You're paranoid Prue." She explained.
"Piper...I know what I heard...OH! What about grandma!" I yelled.
"What about grandma?!" Piper yelled in a confused way.
" I didn't see her in her bed...all I see is pillows..lots of them under the covers!" I yelled.
I looked at Piper and she looked at me. She needs to know that I'm not paranoid and being serious about this.
"You come see it yourself!...please for grandma" I begged.
"Okay...for grams but if this just another trick I swear..."
"No tricks...no lie" I interrupted.
We closed the door quietly, so we won't wake up Phoebe from the other room. I walked really fast, but for Piper...well she's slow. I kept pushing her to hurry up, but then I remember that she just woke up...ha ha ha. I opened the door. Piper and I walked to grandma's bed. I didn't want to open the covers, because I don't want to believe that grandma isn't there.
"Well...Aren't you going to do something or shall I?" Piper said.
I didn't reply.
"Oh well here I come" Piper was going to pull the covers , but then something happen that made her stopped.
"Something doesn't feel right?" She said.
"Same here" I said.
We looked at each other and we were both terrified as ever. Then, all of a sudden...
"HEY GUYS!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" Piper and I screamed.
We turned around and see our 13 year old, little sister ,Phoebe Halliwell. She was dressed up like a little goth doll and she was holding her favorite voodoo doll...us.
"PHOEBE!" Piper and I yelled angrily.
We pulled Phoebe out of the room and start talking.
"Hey why are you guys in grams room? " Phoebe asked.
"Phoebe it's 4:20 a.m.!" Piper yelled.
"Still doesn't answer my question" Phoebe said.
"Phoebe it's nothing just go back to sleep" I said.
"Yeah like YOU can make me" Phoebe said.
" Sorry to tell you this sweetheart, according to the law YOU must respect ME" I said.
"Who said?" Phoebe said.
"Gram!" I yelled.
"HEYYYY!" Piper interrupted me and Phoebes argument.
"SPEAKING OF THE DEVIL!" Piper yelled.
Phoebe and I stopped arguing . We turned around and opened grandma's room to see if grandma's awake.
"So...what's going on with grams?" Phoebe asked.
"Nothing...-ish" I said.
Phoebe looked at me with a confused look. If she knew that I am being paranoid, then she'll laugh and make fun of me as always. Let's hope Piper won't say anything about it. Apparently, I was wrong.
"Prue's scared that there's a killer in our house." Piper said it very fast.
Piper looked at my face and chuckled.
"Why?" I said.
"You woke me up now it's payback!" Piper said with a smile.
Man I don't even want to see Phoebe's face right now. I bet she's going to say ' HAHAHA Prue Halliwell's a scary cat ' or any of her junk. But instead she said something different.
"You too?! Oh thank god I thought I was paranoid." Phoebe said in a relief.
Piper and I were surprised of hearing her say that...very surprised...like literally our mouths were open, but piper's eye were open too.
"Okay I had this nightmare ,right now, that there was this creature that looks like a human but isn't a human. This creature had fireballs coming out of his hand and he wears this black coat that I find very attracting but that's not the point! This creature was like a demon because for some reason I can feel his soul surrounded by evil and darkness. I have a very bad feeling that this creature is going to call aliens and control the world!" Phoebe finished.
Throughout her story, Piper's and my mouths were still open.
"Okay...It's official...forget the killer! Phoebe's is the #1 paranoid person here!" Piper said.
"You damn right!" I yelled.
"Okay about the aliens it's just a feeling...I didn't know how to say it ...but it feels similar to it." Phoebe explained.
"Okay so you think there's a killer too" I said.
"Yeah...and he killed" Phoebe sigh.
"Who?" I said.
"Grandma" Phoebe said.
Phoebe and I were in the exact same story. That there's a killer, well to Phoebe a demon killer, but relates to grandma. Piper looked at me and Phoebe back and forth with a scared look.
"Okay...You guys...I can't..." Piper said.
Phoebe and I looked at Piper.
"Piper you felt it too" I said.
" I give up okay!" Piper yelled.
"Looks there is no killer, no demons, and no aliens taking over the world. If this is a trick...damn Prue didn't I already tell you this!" Piper yelled.
While Piper was yelling at me, Phoebe ran passed us and entered gram's room. We were trying to tell her to come back, but she completely ignored us and went straight ahead. She opened the covers...we saw grandma. Grandma was in the bed with her eyes closed. Then Piper walked away. I grabbed Piper's hand.
" Piper hold on" I said.
But she let go of her hand with her strength .
"What the hell...Are you guys for real!? Do you think this is a joke!" Piper screamed.
"Piper..I..." Phoebe said.
"Don't you dare talk to me! Do you think that it's a joke for someone to die! Do you think I like it! Am I laughing!?" Piper cried.
I ran and hugged Piper so tight that I didn't want her to let go of me. But to Phoebe, she didn't say anything.
" Hey Piper we were just paranoid that's all. We both had nightmares that's all" I said.
Piper nodded her head. I turned around and see Phoebe just staring at grandma.
" Let's go back to bed Phoebe. Grandma's fine and she will always be with us" I said.
Piper was smiling with me , but still Phoebe didn't say anything.
"Pheebs...Come on" I said.
Piper left the room and I went to Phoebe. I see her completely frozen with no breath coming out of her mouth. She stared at grandma but she wasn't completely staring at her... only her heart. I waved my hands in front of Phoebe but still no response. I realized that my sisters and I were yelling and screaming at each other the whole time and grams still hasn't move. I didn't hear a breathe coming out of grandma's mouth. I checked her heart pulse and there was nothing.
"Gram wake up!" I yelled.
No reply.
"Come on it's time to make us breakfast!" I yelled.
No breathe.
"Gram...Gram!" I screamed.
No heart.
"Piper! call 911!" I screamed louder.
No soul. It was March 5 1988, 5:00 a.m
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM" I cried.
No Gram
