Chapter 3

Halliwell kitchen

The next morning the four sisters sat around the table. Phoebe told them about what happened with P.J. the other night. She finally gave in and took Coop and P.J. with her to the manor.
Piper laughed at Phoebe's story "well P.J. had to come in to her powers sooner or later. Melinda started showing her powers as well. The other day she dropped her bottle but before it hit the floor she froze it, or better she slowed it down since she is still so young."
"How about the twins Paige?"Phoebe asked her sister.
"Huh what? What are we talking about again?"Paige asked, she hadn't been paying attention to the conversation.
"Paige what's going on?"Prue asked concerned. She had noticed that her baby sister was distracted with something.
"It's the demon that trapped me, Nennox" Paige answered "He has to come back for me, it's not like he is just letting me go now."
"Oh don't worry about that now" Piper answered. It wasn't like her to just let something like this go. But she didn't want to worry or fight anymore. She just got her big sister back and she wanted to enjoy that. "If he really comes back we will deal with it than, why don't we go out for lunch later today."
Paige was shocked by the weird reaction of her sister. "Piper why are you acting like this? I was tortured for hours. Besides I can't come with you, I promised Leo I would teach some lessons at magic school."
"I just think we shouldn't worry too much. Prue saved you, you will be fine Paige." Piper answered "To bad you can't come with us, shall we go girls?" she asked Prue and Phoebe.

Paige watched her sisters leave and went to the attic. She wanted to check the book before she went to magic school. She couldn't believe that her sisters just left while she could still be in danger.
Paige found a page about Nennox in the book of shadows. It turned out that there wasn't much information about the demon. It did have a power of three spell to vanquish him. When she wrote it down Nennox shimmered in the attic.
"Well well well, look who we have here. I still can't figure out how you escaped" Nennox said.
"I guess I will have to kill you a bit faster this time."Nennox conjured a energy ball and threw it at Paige.
"Energy ball" Paige screamed and the energy ball orbed to Paige's hand. She threw it back at Nennox. I injured him but didn't vanquish him.
"You will pay for this you little witch" Nennox said very angry.
Paige knew she was powerless against him alone. Before Nennox could throw another energy ball Paige orbed out of the attic to magic school.
Luckily Magic school had improved it's protection and evil couldn't enter anymore. Paige would be save her until her sisters came back.

Halliwell"s

"Piper don't you think you where a bit harsh on Paige?" Phoebe asked her sister while they were lunching in Pipers restaurant. "I mean she was pretty beat up when she was saved, it's understandable that she is scared"

"I know, but I just don't want to do this anymore" Piper answered. "Of course we will vanquish Nennox when the time is there. Right know I just want to enjoy having Prue back. It's so great that we are with the three of us again. Just like old times."

"But it's not just the three of us Piper, it's the four of us now." Prue said.
"yeah of course, that's what I meant." Piper said.

"so not to be ungrateful" Phoebe said "but why are you here Prue? And how come you found Paige?"
Prue sighed "I knew I had to tell you sometime" she started "and you're not going to like it.
The elders and the angel of destiny felt a new treat on its way. The underworld seems to be reorganizing, planning a big attack. The angel of destiny saw that the power of three wouldn't be enough. The only way to defeat this treat is with the power of four."

"NO!" Piper yelled "absolutely not. I'm not doing this again. They told us that after Billy and Christy we were done, we could retire, prepare the next generation. "I won't put my family out there again, just to get hurt. I won't do it"
Prue put her arms around Piper and hugged her to calm her down.
"I understand sweetie, even the elders didn't want to put this on you again. But there is nobody else who can do this." Prue said
"Well they just have to keep looking because this charmed one has quite!" Piper said stubborn.
"Piper we have no choice" Prue said "Only we can do this, only the four of us.
Plus there is something else you need to know."
Both Piper and Phoebe looked confused at their big sister. "what is it?" Phoebe asked.
"If we succeed at this task, I can stay. The elders and the angel of destiny ill use their magic to make it look like I have never died. I will be back for real. I can work again, date and just live again. But if we don't do this task, of if we fail I have to go back to the heavens."

Piper sighed and shook her head " I can't believe this, well maybe I can, the elders probably knew that brining my sister back would be the only way to convince me" she said.
Phoebe stood up "let's go home, talk to Paige about this and think about what we will do."
Her sisters nodded and the all left the restaurant.
