Disclamer: I do not own Twilight or Charmed or any of the characters of said show and book. I'm only borrowing them for a little while. Also I do not make any money out of this, I'm barely doing it for entertainment purposes only…as I said before.

A/N: Continuing the updates! And for any readers I have left I really want to thank you for sticking with me through all these years. I'm bad, I know, but hopefully it will not take me much longer to post another update, just right now I am working more on the updating of the clean written version of this story with the help of my amazing Beta O2Shea. Ok, so now that this is out of the way let's get on with the story! And remember that reviews help my muse and that means me updating faster, so please fill out the box at the bottom of the page and then click review :D

When Prue made it to work and entered her office, she immediately wished she had stayed at home. Piles of paperwork decorated her wooden desk and, since an exhibit was close, she also had her entire office filled with paintings, sculptures, vases, old artifacts, and jewelry.

"This is going to be a VERY long day," she muttered under her breath.

A few hours later, after completing the inventory, Prue stood up headed toward the door to go ask her secretary for a few files she needed when a knock on her door made her stop in her tracks. "Come in."

Ronnie, her secretary, entered the room with a bunch of files in her hands and handed them over to a surprised Prue. "I thought you might need these." The flirting smirk on Ronnie's face was not lost on Prue, making the brunette blush a bit and laugh shyly.

Ronnie was a beautiful woman; she had brown wavy hair that fell a bit lower than her shoulders, green expressive eyes, light skin, a slim body, and legs that went on for days. She had been attracted to Prue for a while. Unfortunately for her, Prue noticed… but wasn't interested in the least.

While still blushing slightly, the oldest Halliwell muttered a "thank you" under her breath, while turning around to escape the scrutinizing gaze of her secretary.

"Oh! By the way, there is a girl outside looking for you… but she doesn't have an appointment."

"What's her name?" Prue asked, while at the same time comparing a few documents in the files that were already opened on her desk.

"Alice Cullen."

"It doesn't ring a bell. Did she tell you what it was about?"

"Yeah; she said she was looking for a specific piece of jewelry, but that she needed to talk to you directly. She also said that it was very important."

Prue turned to look around her cramped office. She had a lot of work to do and she usually never saw anybody without an appointment, especially when she was THIS busy, but she figured she could use a break from all her paperwork, so she decided to let the girl in.

"Alright; send her in," she said to her secretary, who was still looking at Prue as if she was some huge prize that she just had to win. Prue followed her custom of pretending not to notice and, after a moment, Ronnie smiled at her, nodded, and left the office.

Prue moved as much paperwork as she could to one side of her desk so that it looked less cluttered. A few moments later another knock was heard and she asked the person on the other side of the door to come in. When the door opened, Prue's jaw almost hit the floor in shock and amazement.

The girl in front of her was unbelievably beautiful. Her short bronze hair stood up from every angle, she was petite, and she couldn't possibly have been any older than 19 or 20 at the most. Her skin was the palest Prue had ever seen and she had beautiful golden eyes the color of honey. Her clothing was elegant, but not out of place. She was wearing ballerina slippers, black dress pants, a gray blouse with a white coat on top, and on her neck she wore a choker with a crest in the middle.

She would have stood out anywhere… but what also made an impact on Prue was that she had to be the one Phoebe had told her about that morning. How many utterly gorgeous pixie-like young girls were running around San Francisco? Certainly there couldn't be that many! Despite her sister's warnings to be careful, she didn't want to stay away from the girl; on the contrary, she wanted to get closer to her. The girl didn't look threatening in the least. She looked small and fragile, and her huge honest smile made Prue literally weak in the knees…

Wait a minute! Since when do I like girls that way? Prue shook her head, trying to get those thoughts out of her head. After what felt like hours, she came out of her trance and, wearing a smile on her face, she extended her hand to greet the girl.

"Hi, I'm Prue Halliwell; it's nice to meet you. Please, take a seat." She was surprised that she could actually finish the sentence without stuttering and considered that an achievement.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Halliwell; I'm Alice Cullen. Please forgive me for coming here without an appointment. I can see that you have a lot of work to do, but this is pretty important," Alice said with her trademark smile.

Prue had not been around the girl for more than five minutes, and already she could tell that she was a perpetually happy person, even when she was being serious. With a nervous laugh, Prue nodded her head and tried to focus on doing her job, which proved to be harder than she anticipated when Alice Cullen was in front of her.

"It's really OK; don't worry about it. I could use the break from my work sometimes," she said with a smile. "What I would like to know, though, is how I can help you. My secretary mentioned something about a piece of jewelry…?" she tried to make a statement, but it actually came out more like a question.

Alice nodded enthusiastically and opened her purse to take out a drawing of a ring, which she handed to Prue while she started her explanation. "That's right; this is a drawing of a ring that once belonged to my family. I've been looking for it for a while and I heard that it might be here."

Prue studied the drawing carefully and immediately recognized it. Indeed, the ring was at Buckland's; in fact, if she remembered correctly, she had just seen it a few moments ago while making the inventory for the exhibit. Prue stood up and walked to the far right corner of her office where she had seen the ring. She carefully picked up the silver ornamented box and placed it on top of her desk while standing next to Alice, who had stood as well. Prue opened the box, took out the ring, and gave it to Alice. "Is this what you're looking for?"

Prue wouldn't have thought that Alice's smile could grow any bigger, but apparently she was wrong. While still holding the ring, Alice turned to look at Prue with the biggest smile possible and nodded. At that moment, the oldest of the Halliwells knew she had never seen anything more beautiful… and probably never would. She was so busy getting lost in golden eyes that she missed two important things happening… that it was the very premonition that Phoebe had had that morning, and that, out of nowhere, a portal was opening right behind them, allowing two hideous-looking demons to enter the office.
