"I'm Posten Jameson, daughter of Willa Tyrene Jameson, Sister of Brandon Tyler Jameson, Isabel Jones Jameson, and Johny Thumble Jameson," Posten announced proudly.
"Boy, this Posten girl sure knows how to address herself," Paige whispered to Phoebe.
"Ssh! I want to hear this!" Phoebe whispered back, but not very kindly.
"Oops. I don't think I should've said that," Posten said in a way that made it sound like she was saying it to herself, but she was still looking deeply into the sisters' eyes. "Um, bye," she said, running towards the stairs.
"Wait! We won't hurt you. We're friends of Willa's. But how come we've never seen you before? We've come here plenty of times but we're never seen you." Everything about Phoebe looked confused.
Paige broke in, "Willa told us that she had another daughter but she was either asleep, at someone else's house, or just upstairs. Willa didn't want to bother you. Oh! My name is Paige Matthews and this is my sister; Phoebe Halliwell. Well, half-sister. We have another sister slash half-sister but we can't find her. That's why we came here in the first place. The sister we're trying to find is Piper Halliwell. She's the oldest sister, Phoebe the middle sister, and I'm the youngest."
Posten interrupted, "Then who's this Prue you're talking about?"
Phoebe took over this time. "Prue was our oldest sister before she died after she was wounded by the Source."
"Who or what is the Source?"
"We have a lot of explaining to do, Posten," Phoebe said.
By now, Johny was all snuggled up in his room, acting like a baby.
"I think it would be better to explain all this at the manor," Paige suggested to Phoebe.
Before the sisters and Posten got in the car to go to the manor, they got a babysitter to come with Posten's help.
*********
"Hey! Stop pushing!" Piper yelled at the group of demons who pushed her through a tunnel.
I hope that whoever that demon was trying to stop back there was someone that went to get help, Piper thought.
One of the demons acted like he had heard Piper's thoughts. "Your friend back there can't find you down here Charmed One. Our friend, I think you know him as Cortano, called and said he had a plan to get the Charmed Ones' powers. So we had a meeting to hear his idea." as the demon said this, he had a sly smile across his face, and though Piper was shocked, she kept a straight face.
"So Cortano went to your house at the time that we had planned and brought you outside of the safety of the manor to a place where no one could see you, which turned out to be the woods," the demon continued.
By now, instead of listening to everything that the demon was saying, Piper tried to think of a way to escape 'down there'.
But then Piper heard a word that made her think of Leo.
"Your friend Cortano, or as we call him, Silek, has the power to block himself from whitelighters," the demon said. "I'm being impolite. I haven't introduced myself. My name is Niko. Yet, I have another friend. She . . ."
Piper interrupted, "She??"
"Is that so shocking, Charmed One? I'd think that since you are a Charmed One, you would've encountered plenty of female demons." the demon had a smirk on his face, showing that he enjoyed teasing Piper.
Piper started to say, "Well, yes, I have. But a female demon working with you?" but after she said the word "yes" a demon behind her conjured a mini-energy ball and flicked it at Piper's back.
"Ow!" Piper exclaimed. Fine. I'll be quiet. All you had to do was ask.
Piper tried to wriggle out of the pack around her, but the demon behind her held firmly onto her bound wrists.
Right then, Sabraxa shimmered into the cave in front of Niko holding Willa.
Piper looked at Willa, first expecting to see someone else. When she saw Willa, her mouth fell open.
At the same time, Willa saw Piper and exclaimed, "Piper?!?" But she stopped when she saw the demons surrounding Piper. Then she got that terrified look on her face again and stared back at the demon in front of her.
"Well, who is this?" Niko asked, obviously to himself.
"This is supposedly a guardian of the child. I decided to bring her here when she wouldn't tell me where the child was. What should I do with her?" Sabraxa asked.
Niko turned to one of h is 'demon friends' and ordered him to hold Willa for a second while he talked to Sabraxa.
When his friend got Willa, Niko and Sabraxa went over to a corner in the room.
"I don't think that we should get rid of this lady you brought quite yet. I think she could be useful later. And besides, I think she and the Charmed One know each other very well. This could be useful too."
They went back over to Piper and Willa. Sabraxa took Willa back and pushed her through a door and into a cell on their right.
Niko took hold Piper and went through the same door but into a cell right across from Willa's.
"I hope you will enjoy your stay here, for it will be a long one." Niko closed Piper's door and said the same spell that was used on her ropes. Then he walked out the door and repeated the spell once he had closed it.
Then it was total darkness except for the small window of light.
. . . . . "Cole?!?"
*********
Phoebe and Posten sat on the couch, speechless.
"So...," Phoebe said. It was too quiet for her.
Then she knew how to start a conversation. "How's your brothers and sister?"
"Oh, they're fine. They're brothers and sisters," Posten said. But after she said that, she said nothing else.
"Um . . . Posten. When you were telling us who was in your family, I didn't hear you mention your dad's name." Phoebe hoped she didn't sound too pushy.
"Oh," was all Posten said. She looked down at her lap.
"I'm sorry," Phoebe apologized. "You don't have to answer that. I can see that it's private," Phoebe said, embarrassed.
Posten's head came back up. "No, it's okay. It's just hard to talk about him."
"Well then. Tell me. After we talk together, you'll feel better. I promise." Posten nodded and started to talk. Phoebe was very interested in what Posten was saying.
". . . and since my dad, Andy, was a cop, he was in dangerous missions, I guess you could say, all the time. But the problem is that Willa didn't know him very well. She only got to see him once or twice before he died. Mom didn't really keep in touch with Dad a lot. They weren't really close." Posten didn't seem to smile the whole time she said this.
"See, now don't you feel a little better now that you talked about this with me?" Phoebe asked, lifting an eyebrow.
Phoebe spotted a smile sneak up on Posten's face.
"Yeah. I guess I do feel a little better now. Thank you, Phoebe. Someday, this conversation will definitely be useful." Posten stuck out her hand for a good handshake.
"Okay," Phoebe said slowly. She was hoping for a hug instead but didn't want to be rude by questioning Posten's kind gestures.
They shook hands and sat in silence. Again.
But then Leo suddenly orbed in. "Phoebe! Piper's gone! We need to get Paige!" Leo quieted down when he saw Posten. "Oh, hi." he walked up to Phoebe and pulled her to her feet. Leo rushed Phoebe over into the kitchen.
"Who is that?" Leo asked, pointing at Posten who was still sitting on the couch.
"Don't point!" Phoebe scolded. Then she snickered. Leo looked quizzically at her. "Okay. This is a little wacky. Well, you know Willa? Willa Jameson?"
Leo nodded.
"Well, this girl claims that she's Willa's daughter. When I looked into Posten's eyes, oh, by the way, her name is Posten not 'that'. Anyway, I felt like I knew her for my whole life. And when Paige first saw her, she said she was a younger version of Prue! Oh, Paige is in the attic scrying for Piper. But the point is that Posten is related to Prue, which makes her related to us. Isn't that cool, in a sort of crazy way?" Phoebe asked.
Leo looked confused. "Okay, how come you never saw Posten before?"
"I don't know. Willa always told us she had another daughter, but we never got to see her."
Leo hesitated, then asked, "Where did you say Paige was?"
"In the attic scrying for Piper. Why?"
"I want to tell Paige something."
Very unexpectedly, Posten yelled from the living room. "Phoebe! Paige! I think I know where your sister is!"
