Disclaimer: See chapter one.
AN: Thanks for the reviews guys. I've edited the year in the first chapter so that it makes sense. Piper is narrating in a Mary Alice Young kind of way, except still alive. Please review. Here's Chapter 2.
--------------------------------------------
Chapter Two
Checking The Book Of Shadows
"Melinda, would you please stop dumping your college stuff at your ass!" Piper called out as she picked up her daughters messenger bag in the sun room. She carried it to the coffee table and placed it there. As she turned to head for the stairs, she heard voices coming from the kitchen. 'Leo and Wyatt are at Magic School, Chris is in the attic and Melinda is in her room, listening to her music. So who's in there?' She thought to herself.
As she quietly but quickly made her way towards the kitchen, she listened to hear snippets of the conversation.
"So if they weren't there, where are they?"
"I don't know, but I'll be finding out after I get something to eat…I'm starved."
"Chris, you are always hungry." Wyatt said, laughing.
"Hello, pot, meet kettle!" Chris snapped.
"Why don't you two keep it down?" Piper asked as she entered the room. Wyatt was leaning against the island, eating an apple and Chris was searching through the fridge.
"Mom, don't do that!" Chris called out, jumping backwards.
"Do you do that when searching for demons?" Wyatt asked, laughing even harder.
"Why are you two down here?" Piper asked, walking over to the sink, lifting up dishes and placing them in the dishwasher.
"Well, I was scrying for that demon that's been killing witches and I found him…or at least where he was last. So I called Wyatt and we orbed to the Golden Gate Park, to find the remains of the demons last meal, but no demon."
Wyatt took a final bite from the apple and threw it in the bin. "I should be heading back to Magic School; Penny's class would have ended a while ago."
"Ok, well, say hi to both her and Michelle from me. And don't forget, family barbeque this Saturday, 4pm, don't be late."
Wyatt walked over to Piper and kissed her on the cheek. "I won't Mom. See ya later Chris, bye Mom." Wyatt added before orbing out.
"Later Wyatt. I'm heading back upstairs, see if I can find anything about this demon in the book of Shadows."
"Ok. Oh Chris, on your way, could you tell Melinda to come down here and get her bag?" Piper asked as Chris made his way to the exit.
"Sure Mom." He replied before exiting.

As my children went about their daily routine, on the other side of the city, my sister's husband was returning home early.

"Hello? Anybody home?" Coop called out as he walked across the living room. Looking around the room, he saw his daughters clothing thrown all over the penthouse.
"Coop, is that you?" Billie asked as she exited from the bathroom. "Why are you home so early? Phoebe is so going to freak!"
"I came home early cause I missed my family….wait, why is Phoebe going to freak?"
"Because she had this whole welcome home dinner planned for you, but the food won't be finished for another hour. I and your daughters are supposed to be at the movie, seeing some girly girl film."
"'Kill It Before It Dies'?" Coop asked, a smile on his face.
"Does that one still exist, beside the many DVDs of it in Phoebe's collection?" Billie asked, smirking as she took a seat on one of the sofas.
"Probably not. So, about this night my wonderful wife has planned out…maybe you and the girls could head out early?" Coop asked as he sat in a chair opposite Billie.
"I guess so…. but Phoebe is still gonna freak."
"I'll handle her, now get the girls and get going." Coop said as he stood and headed for his bedroom.

Meanwhile, in my half-sisters home, her children were fighting like….well; let's just say it wasn't as big a fight as the one that caused the Manor to blow up.

"Sara, I swear to your aunt Prue, if you don't stop orbing your brother to the bridge I will set the Hollow on you!" Paige cried out as she climbed the stairs. Her daughters, Sara and Jennifer, were teaming up against their older brother, Henry Junior.
"Mom, please, can I just cast the barrier spell to keep them out of my room?" Henry Junior glared at his two sisters. "I'll word it right so that you and Dad can still enter though." He added with a sweet smile to his mother.
"No, Henry, you know that using your powers to help yourself is not what we believe in."
"But it's just a small spell, it couldn't hurt a fly." He said, again glaring at his sisters who were now giggling.
"I said no." She replied as she crossed her arms over her chest and tilted her head to the side.
"Fine." Henry grumbled before heading back into his room, slamming his door in the process.
"And you two…"Paige continued, turning to face her daughters. "You know you shouldn't orb anybody anywhere, relation or not. Now go to your room and start your homework.

My sister's children are usually so well behaved…at least, around me anyway. I think Paige has told them something to scare them, because they act like angels around me. Although, it helps that they are a quarter whitelighter…or was that half?
Meanwhile, my second child Chris was searching through the book of Shadows, searching for his current demon of the week.

"Grimlocks, no. Valkyries, no. Seers, no. Avatars, no. Uggh, why can't I find them!" He muttered, closing the book so hard that it fell from the stand to the floor. Once on the ground, the book opened and pages start to flip quickly. Once it finally came to a stop, the book was open on Pheonixs.
"An elite assassin family of witches….so maybe that thing that we found in the park wasn't meal…maybe it was their last victim." He said. He again read through the information, but unlike before, read to the very end.
"My God….The Charmed Ones faced them almost 26 years ago."
Chris lifted the book and placed the book back on its stand.
xxxxXXxxxx
The Pheonix's, an elite assassin family of witches….and the family that beared a daughter that would become my son's fiancé. Things are beginning to happen like before, except this time Wyatt isn't evil…and I'm not dead. I just hope no other beings from our past come back to haunt us.

AN: So, there's chapter 2. Sorry for the long delay. Tell me what you think.
