The Power of Four, A New Beginning
"I won't let you take her!" Piper yelled harshly and firmly, Prue grabbed Pipers hand to calm her down.
"I am not here to take her Piper, and your yelling is not appreciated," Sandra announced and looked towards Prue, "can we talk in the living room…alone."
Prue shook her head, "anything you have to say to me, you can say in front of my family."
Sandra sighed, "alright, let us all go into the living room then." Prue nodded and they all got up to go into the living room.
The girls all took their seats on the couches, while Sandra and Leo stood on each side of the room.
"So if you aren't taking her, then what is this about?" Phoebe asked curiously.
"Well, we have detected an extremely powerful source of power coming from the underworld. This type of power can only mean one thing." She paused.
Paige raised an eyebrow, "and what is this 'one thing'?"
"A long time ago, before even your grandmothers time, a very powerful demon was on the loose, he was killing witches with ease, and demons too, he was plotting to take over the underworld. He was the enemy of both good and evil, he was way to powerful, so we destroyed him, both good and evil used their powers to destroy him."
"So you guys worked with evil? You guys gave us shit for doing that," Piper complained, Leo glared at her.
"Piper…" he warned. But Sandra continued.
"We were not proud of ourselves believe me but it was the only way, and it stopped him from taking over everything, but now…" She took a deep breath, "he has been resurrected."
'Great another huge threat' Phoebe thought, "why would someone want to resurrect him? I mean won't he just try to take over the underworld again?"
"Well some demons are so power obsessed that they would do anything to get more of it, and they probably believe that this demon can give it to them," Sandra explained, "we found out about to late and weren't able to stop the resurrection."
Leo sat down on the arm of the couch Piper was sitting on, he himself has never heard of this demon and he's been a white lighter for a long time, "well how powerful is he, I mean what are his powers?"
Sandra sighed, "he is more powerful than any demon you have ever faced, we think that he is creating some sort of army, all we know is that you girls will be receiving a lot of demonic attacks and should be extra careful."
"What does this have to do with me?" Prue asked, talking for the first time since the elder began. She had let her explain but right now she just wanted to know what was going to happen to her.
"Well, we have decided to bring you back to life," at this, everyone in the room's eyes widened in shock.
"But that's against the rules," Leo announced and Piper gave him a 'shut up' look.
"Yes Leo we are perfectly aware about the rules, but the only way that you guys stand a chance at defeating him is with Prudence."
Finally letting everything sink in, Phoebe jumped up from the couch in happiness, "thank you so much," she then pounced onto her eldest sister, "Prue you're staying, for good!" she cheered. Everyone in the room looked happy, even the elder but Prue had a bit of agitation in her eyes.
"So I'm going to help face this demon, and then I'll have to leave again?" she asked a little harshly. This made Piper's smile turn into a frown, 'would the elders bring Prue back just to kill her again?'
Sandra shook her head in disbelief, "I know that in the past we have done some things that seemed unfair," she glanced at Leo and Piper, "but we are not bad people, and although we will be breaking the rules by bringing you back, we would NEVER kill someone by our own hands, especially a good person like you."
Prue just looked down and muttered an apology to the elder, Sandra nodded and Prue smiled again, as did Piper, she was now in a demon vanquishing mood, the sooner they vanquish this demon, the sooner they get to continue their life with their big sister back in it.
"So how do we vanquish this guy?" Piper asked lightly.
Sandra just looked at her sadly, "do not be so light about this, this is no ordinary demon, a simple spell and potion won't due, you guys are going to need much more than that."
Paige now grew a little worried, she was happy that Prue was back for good, she would be able to get to know her eldest sister again, "So, how do we kill him then?"
"We don't know," the elder responded nervously and everyone was taken back, "we will need a huge source of power to destroy him and I don't think evil will be up to it, we are still debating a couple of things." Sandra looked towards the sealing, "we still have much to decide, I was just sent here to warn you."
"Warn us.." Phoebe suddenly remembered the demon that had attacked before Prue arrived, "a messenger demon attacked us, he said something like he's coming. Do you think he was talking about this powerful demon."
"It would make sense," Leo answered, "the timing seems right."
Sandra nodded, "yes, that was probably who he was talking about," suddenly a jingle was heard and Sandra glanced to the sealing as did Leo.
"I have to go," Sandra told them. Leo got up from the couch.
"Me too."
"When will you be back?" Piper asked him.
Leo shrugged, "I don't know, it sounds urgent, but I will be back as soon as I can."
Leo gave Piper a kiss on the cheek before orbing out.
"Look Prudence, we have given you back your identify, everyone thinks you moved out of state for a year and that you have returned, except those who know of your secret," Sandra explained as she orbed out.
Prue looked around the room, "so…What do we do now?"
"Duuhh…" Phoebe squealed happily, "we celebrate, P3 anyone?"
"Well what about the demon?" Piper asked seriously.
"Oh c'mon Piper, it's not like we can do anything right now," Paige informed, "we have to wait for the elders to give us more information."
Piper smiled and nodded, "ok, ok." Phoebe clapped her hands excitedly.
"Yay, let's go!" Phoebe cheered and ran to get her jacket, Piper and Paige followed but Prue didn't. Piper turned around to look at her older sister, she seemed happy but had a glint of sadness in her bright blue eyes.
"Prue what's wrong?" Piper asked her, Paige and Phoebe turned around, Prue just shook her head.
"Nothing, you have no idea how happy I am to be back," she said and her sisters smiled, "but I will meet you guys in a bit, I have something I need to do."
Paige put her purse back on the shelf, "ok well we'll wait for you."
Prue shook her head, "no, you guys go, I'll meet you there in like half an hour, tops."
Phoebe hesitated but nodded, she was too happy to be concerned "ok, we'll see you there." Prue nodded happily as her sisters walked out the front door.
When her sisters were gone, Prue immediately went to work, she raced up to the attic and closed the door with the fling of her hand. She began putting the five candles around the floor in a circle and lit them with a match. Once she was finished she raced to the book of shadows and flipped through the pages until she reached the spell she was looking for and began chanting.
"Hear these words, hear my cry,
Spirit form the other side.
Come to me, I summon thee,
Cross now the great divide."
Prue watched as the white lights swirled, revealing the one whom she had called.
"Hello Prue."
"Did they tell you?"
"Yes."
"Andy…I," she started but he interrupted her.
"Prue, I'm happy for you, you get to return to your sisters, to your family," he told her happily, "this is everything that you've been dreaming of."
"Why can't you come with me? We can be together, get married, like we always wanted," Prue said with a hint of hope in her eyes.
Andy shook his head, "no Prue, I'm not meant to come back, I have to stay up there," Prue frowned, "don't be sad Prue, be happy, be with your family."
"I don't want to be here without you, I can't…"
Andy interrupted her, as he stepped out of the circle, becoming whole and he gently touched her cheek, "Yes you can, you did it before, and know that I will always be there, around you, just like your mom and grams."
As he concluded, Prue let a single tear travel down her soft skin and she pulled him into a hug, after they pulled away, they leaned in for a passionate kiss, knowing it would be their last and making it one to remember. Andy pulled away and returned into the circle.
"I love you Prue," he told her as he waved and disappeared.
"I love you too, Andy Truedau," she said as she looked up to the heavens, and she smiled, finally letting the happiness of returning to her sisters wash over her.
After she finished cleaning the attic, she headed downstairs, grabbed one of the new jackets she bought earlier that day and left for P3.
As she entered her sisters loud club, she let the familiar sights sink upon her, she hadn't been here in over a year and she didn't realize how much she missed it. Her and her sisters had so many great times here and now, Prue was just glad that she could have more.
She searched the large crowed for her sisters and wasn't surprised when she found them at their usual booth in the back, they all looked so happy and Prue was so grateful to share that happiness with them.
Once she reached the booth, Phoebe was the first one to notice her, "Hey you," she greeted as she placed her drink down on the table and patted the seat next to her. Prue sat down happily.
"So, what is it you had to do?" Paige asked curiously, Prue smiled.
"There was just someone I had to say good bye to," the eldest explained.
Piper frowned, realising who Prue was talking about, "you ok?"
"Ya, I'm just happy to be back," Prue smiled genuinely, as did her sisters.
"Good," Phoebe nodded with a smile, "cause we have a lot to discuss."
Prue looked at her sisters curiously.
"Like where you're going to sleep," Paige said, she then glanced at Piper who continued the conversation.
"We think that we can fix up the basement, and with Leo's help, turn it into your new room."
Prue smiled, she didn't expect to get her room back, it was Paige's now and she deserved it, "well since our friend Leo is a little busy tonight, I think I'll just sleep on the couch tonight."
"Well hopefully Leo will be back soon," Phoebe said as she handed Prue the drink they had gotten for her.
"Ya and hopefully with some information," Paige added, "the elders seem really scared of this demon."
"Well who ever he is, we can handle him, together," Prue raised her glass and her sisters joined, "to the power of four, a new beginning!" Prue chanted and her sisters repeated the chant happily as they clinked their glasses together.
The powerful demon ceased his chanting and smiled at who now appeared before him.
The warlock, looked around and his eyes widened at the demon, "You? I thought you were…How did I get here?"
The demon just smiled, "it's nice to see you too," he walked up to the warlock, "you seem angry, did the charmed ones hurt your feelings when they vanquished you."
The warlock growled, "the charmed ones got lucky, I could kill them if I wanted to."
"You would like that now wouldn't you," the demon teased, "to get revenge on the charmed ones, well now is your chance." The demon began fiddling with something in his hands, "there is a new charmed one, she doesn't know of you, or of how to vanquish you, if you attack her while she is alone, she won't be able to say the spell."
The warlock smiled and nodded, "I will take pleasure in killing her."
The demon handed something to the warlock, "I think you will be needing this."
The warlock looked down at the red jewel and placed it on his finger, "I won't fail, not this time, " he said and he blinked out.
The demon smiled, this was just the beginning.
