A Charmed Story

Chapter Two

(Phoebe's perspective)

Later that night, I decided to go down and grab a midnight snack. I also got a little thirsty. When I got into the kitchen, I heard somebody call my name.

"Phoebe." It whispered.

"Hello?" I answered back but received no reply and continued doing what I was doing. Then I heart it again.

"Phoebe, come here." It spoke in such a sinister voice.

I decided I would inspect everything from under the table...everything but the basement.

"Who are you? What do you want?" I stuttered.

"I have something for you. Something you can never even imagine beyond your wildest dreams."

"Whoever...whatever you are stay away from me!" I ran back upstairs to tell Piper what I heard.

The moment I told her she thought I was going bonkers. She looked at me with that big sister's "you've got to be kidding me" look. I swear it.

"Pheebs, it's 12:30 and I really don't have time for this I have an English Test tomorrow."

"Piper, please. I swear I heard it this time no jokes."

I tried everything to convince her but yet she refused to believe me. I didn't want to go to Prue because she'd probably throw something at me like her crown from Homecoming queen a couple of years ago. Besides, she's already pissed off enough. Whose left to talk to anyways? Grams that's right but then again it would seem childish. But oh well, who cares. I slowly tip-toed down to Grams' room.

I knocked on her door. "Come in sweetie." a sweet voice answered "Why Phoebe dear, it looks like you've just seen a ghost. What happened?"

"Grams, I know it sounds crazy but I went down to get a drink of water and I could've sworn I heard someone call my name.

"Well, dear what did it sound like?" Grams asked and folded her hands and set her book down.

I imitated the voice and everything. "It said: 'I have something for you beyond your wildest dreams' or something like that."

"Dear why don't you go back to bed and Grams will take care of this little problem. Did you say you heard it in the basement?"

"I never said that. I don't know."

"Its okay sweetheart, I understand. Now you go back to bed."

I went back to my room and Piper began to tease me.

"Was it the Woogeyman, again Pheebs?"

"No, I just want some sleep is all. Goodnight."

"So, it was the Woogeyman."

"Goodnight, Piper."

All night long I couldn't sleep because I kept on having flashbacks of that one night I saw Grams and the Woogeyman fighting. I couldn't get it out of my head.

I awoke the next morning to Prue's loud music. I went next door to knock on her door. Trying to be polite considering that I didn't have to be at school at all for the next few days.

"Prue!" I knocked. I got no answer but could hear her sing with a favorite song of hers, which I found rather annoying right now. "PRUE!" I knocked and yelled again.

Finally, I saw the door knob sort of turn. She popped her head and wet hair out.

"What!? What do you want you little brat?" She snapped.

"Um, in case you haven't noticed I don't have to go to school today, but I do have stuff to do here at the house and I would really love to get some sleep!"

"Why should I care!?" Prue slammed the door in my face.

"Great just great. She's still mad at me. I me what did I expect her to do? Or say?" I turned and there I saw Piper. Good morning, sleepyhead. Did you dream about the Woogeyman last night? Huh did ya...did ya?" Piper teased.

"Piper, get out of my way. I'm not in the mood." I then walked back into my room, ran over to my bed and screamed into my pillow.

Later that morning after Prue and Piper were gone off to school, I decided to go out and have a little fun with my friends. (I snuck out in other words.) I decided "hey it's my little vacation since I don't have classes." I snuck out so quietly Grams wouldn't even notice. Let's just hope she doesn't find out though. (Even though she probably will).

(Piper's perspective)

That afternoon as I sat down in my English class after lunch, I nervously waited for my English test to be passed out. I got my pencil and paper out for my short essay. Five minutes later, Mr. Dominguez began to pass out the test.

Five minutes later Mr. Dominguez began to pass out the test.

"Finally." I breathed.

"Don't worry, Piper, I know you'll perfectly fine on this test." Mr. Dominguez whispered and winked at me.

Later after school let out I headed to my car. I then noticed a shadow following me and I moved faster. When I got to my car a hand reached over my mouth. I tried to scream but he shushed me. There were five, maybe six other guys with him.

"What do you want?" I panicked.

"Your powers, witch." He snarled.

"I don't know what the hell your talking about!" I snapped. "Now excuse me I have to get home."

They just kept on bothering me until a voice came up from behind them. "Hey! Leave her alone!" the girl threw them clear across the parking lot without even touching them. They began scampering away. "Hey, are you okay? I'm Janice, nice to meet you."

"Hey thanks. My name is Piper." I pointed to one of the guys. "H-h-how did you do that?"

"Let's just say, I have a special gift. I inherited it from my mum." she smiled. "It's been passed down for generations."

"Wow, that's some amazing gift!" I exclaimed. "Wait, would you like to come over to my house for dinner? My Grams fixes the most fantastic roast ever."

"Sure. Why not? I need to find people and get to know them because I just moved here from Sydney, Australia. I need people to show me around San Francisco. It's a lot different in America than where I came from."

Later, that evening, the whole family sat down to dinner. I introduced Janice to Prue and Grams. I would have to Phoebe, but she hadn't been down yet.

"Grams, have you seen Phoebe today?" I asked.

"No, I haven't she must have been up in her room all day." Grams pushed away from the table. "I'll be right back."

Conversations at dinner continued. My Grams went up to mine and Phoebe's room and knocked on the door with no reply.

"Phoebe, its dinner time sweetie aren't you coming down?" When Grams didn't get a reply she opened the door and found no sight of Phoebe in her room. Grams rapidly raced downstairs and called the police. As I heard the running, I went to see what had happened. After Grams got off of the phone, she needed to sit down.

"Grams, what happened? Where's Phoebe?" I asked.

Grams shook her head. "I don't know."

Suddenly the front door flew open. Phoebe ran in with an expression of fear on her face. The bad thing was we didn't know why.

(Prue's perspective)

"Oh, my God. What is it now?" I ran into the living room stopping shortly. "Whoa."

Grams and Piper just stared at Phoebe.

"What!? What is it Pheebs?" Piper asks.

"L-l-look behind you." Phoebe stutters.

Piper turns around looking at me. So does Grams.

"What!? What did I do!?" I screamed.

"Not you Prue. Right in f-f-front of you." Phoebe spoke with fear in her voice. "T-t-the w-w-woogey. Grams!? It's the Woogey!"

"Girls go upstairs now!" Grams yells. Then the four of us head upstairs. I had to pull Janice back from looking at the thing.

We waited for a long time for Grams to come get us, so we could finish our nice dinner. I guess it wasn't going to be a perfect night either.

"Now do you guys believe me!?" Phoebe says.
