Planning and Plotting

The four sisters walked through the front door happily after a great night at the club.

"Ok Prue, I will go get you some blankets fro the couch," Piper stated as she walked upstairs.

"And I will go get your clothes from my room," Phoebe stated as she followed Piper up the stairs.

Only Prue and Paige remained, they just stared at each other until Paige broke the silence.

"Ice cream?" she asked lightly and Prue nodded, smiling as Paige left for the kitchen. Prue just looked around and sat on the bottom step waiting for anyone to return.

After Paige grabbed the ice cream from the freezer, she began putting some in four bowls, assuming that Piper and Phoebe wanted some too. She finished off the ice cream so quickly jotted it down on the grocery list.

That's when the warlock blinked in, he held out his ring to the witch. Paige tried to call out to use her power but she could barely speak, the heat chocking her. She fell to the ground, the spoon she was holding hit the ground with a 'clink' sound.

Prue heard the sound of what seemed like a piece of cutlery falling to the ground with a body, "Paige," she called, no answer. Prue hurried into the kitchen and gasped at who she saw. Paige was dying, she needed to do something, 'c'mon what was that spell?' she luckily remembered it and began chanting.

"Lavender, memosa, holy thistle, cleanse this evil from our midst," The warlock turned to her in shock and began using the ring on Prue but she kept chanting as she slowly fell to the ground.

"Scatter it's cells throughout time, let this Nick, No more exist." With a loud cry, the warlock span around before blowing up. Prue got up from the floor in pain and raced over to Paige.

"Paige! Paige!" Prue began shaking her baby sister until Paige slowly opened her eyes.

"Wh…what h-happened?" she asked faintly, as she tried to sit up slowly but fell back down.

"It's ok, he's gone," Prue told her and she pulled Paige onto her lap, her 'motherly instincts' kicking in. "he raised your blood pressure, just lay down and it will return to normal."

"Prue! Paige!" Phoebe called from the living room.

"In the kitchen!" Prue called back, and Phoebe walked in, when she noticed Paige on the floor she ran up to them.

"What happened? Is she ok?"

Prue nodded, "Nicholas is what happened."

Phoebe raised an eyebrow, "Nicholas? As in that warlock who made that packed with mom?"

Prue nodded again, "I came in here to find him using his ring on Paige, lucky that I remembered that spell."

"Yeah, it is," Phoebe said as she stroked Paige's hair, "it's like Abraxas all over again."

"Who's Abraxas?" Paige asked as she began feeling better.

"Shhhh…Just relax" Prue told her, "he was a demon who stole the book and resurrected all of the demons we had already vanquished by reading the book backwards." She then turned to Phoebe, "but we vanquished him too, and even if it was him, we would have been attacked by jeremy and the woogyman brfore Nicholas."

Phoebe just shrugged, "I think this calls for a witch meeting, Piper!"

"What?" Piper called as she entered the kitchen, when she saw Paige on the floor she, like Phoebe ran over, "what happened?"

Prue turned to her, "Nicholas is back."

"Nicholas? As in…" Piper was interrupted.

"Yes, as in the warlock with the ring, someone must have resurrected him," Prue informed.

Piper opened her mouth to speak but Phoebe stopped her, "no it couldn't have been Abraxas, we vanquished him too."

Piper closed her mouth and looked back down towards her baby sister who, with Prue's help was sitting up.

"What if it was this new demon?" Paige asked quietly, "maybe this is the army, the elders say he is building."

"Maybe…" Prue began and looked up, "why don't we ask."

Phoebe looked up, "Sandra!" but no one came.

"Leo!" Piper tried but he didn't arrive.

"Anybody?" Prue called but still nothing.

"Ok….." Paige concluded, "that must be one very important meeting."

"Well, there is nothing we can do right now," Prue said as she picked up the fallen spoon, "at least not until the elders tell us what's up."

"Or in this case, down," Phoebe joked as she looked towards the floor, the sister laughed and Prue got up from the floor, she held out her hand and Paige grabbed it, her too getting up.

"Well what if another unwelcome guest comes back from the dead?" Paige asked, "we can't just stay up together and wait for them."

"Well as long as we remember how to vanquish them, we'll be safe," Piper concluded.

"Well there are a lot of demons that Paige's doesn't know how to vanquish," Prue stated, "not to mention a few that I don't know."

"Easy," Phoebe announced, they all looked at her, "Prue will stay in Paige's room tonight and they will help each other, if that's ok with you guys."

Prue nodded, "it's ok with me." She looked towards her baby sister.

"I'm cool," Paige said smiling.

"ok, then I will go move the blankets," Piper announced as she left the room.

"and I will go move the clothes," Phoebe added as she followed.

Prue and Paige just looked at each other, "déjà vu?" Prue asked her.

Paige chuckled and nodded, "weird." They both laughed as they grabbed their ice cream and headed to Paige's room.

Prue rested on the floor, her body was wrapped up in the many blankets Piper had gathered. Prue had to admit, she wasn't very comfortable. She glanced upward towards her old bed were Paige now laid with her eyes closed, Prue couldn't tell if she was sleeping. If it had been Piper or Phoebe Prue would probably be up on the bed lying with them, but she didn't want Paige to feel weird or uncomfortable so she didn't even bring it up.

As if she had been reading her thoughts, Paige opened her eyes and sat up, looking down at Prue she said, "you know, you can sleep up here…If you want."

Prue sat up, "are you sure…I mean it's completely up to you."

Paige smiled, "hey you're my sister, plus people who save your life should not be sleeping on the floor." Paige could swear she heard Prue sigh in relief. "thanks by the way."

"For saving your life? Hey there's a new demon on the loose, you'll be saving my life in no time," Prue stated as she got up, she grabbed one of the blankets and climbed up on the familiar bed that she had slept in, so many nights. She placed herself so she was a good distance form her sister and placed the warm blanket on top of her.

Paige closed her eyes, hoping sleep would consume her, but it didn't. She noticed that Prue was having the same problems and decided that it would be a good time to get to know her better.

"So you were…are…a photographer?"

Prue turned her head to look at Paige and sat up, "yeah, I don't really have that much experience though, I mean, I wanted to go away to school but I had to stay here and take care of Piper and Phoebe."

"Must have been a drag."

Prue chuckled, "yeah…well no, I mean I was angry, but I don't blame anyone for it. Sure it was a pain, Phoebe was a pain, we fought endlessly, but I look back at now, and realize that I wouldn't have wanted to change places with anyone."

Paige smiled, "that's sweet."

Prue smiled back, "well I was lucky to have two sisters to love, and now I have three."

Paige's smile widened, "I wish I had known about you guys earlier, it would have been nice to have sisters, when my parents died, I felt alone, it would have been nice to know that I had sisters who would be there for me."

Prue frowned, Paige had been through so much, she decided to try and lighten up the mood, "well you have Piper and Phoebe…and me now also." Prue told her sweetly, "and you can see mum and Grams sometimes too."

Paige gave a half smile, "I just wished I could have know mom, I mean I love my adoptive parents the same, but it still would have been nice to know her, have some memory of her."

They sat in silence for a few minutes, Prue thinking of the times she missed out on with Paige, she knew her relationship with the youngest would be different than it was with Piper and Phoebe, she just didn't know if it would be in a good way, or a bad way.

Prue decided to break the silence, "she used to sing to you, mom I mean." Paige looked at her curiously, "I guess it was when you were first born, I heard her singing at night. I didn't make anything of it, I thought she was just singing, but I'm beginning to realize that she was singing you to sleep, like she did with all of us…I just thought you should know."

Paige smiled and let a few tears escape her brown orbs, "thanks…for the memory."

Prue smiled back, "anytime." Prue laid back down on the bed, "goodnight Paige."

"Goodnight Prue," Paige said, before she closed her watery eyes and let the sleep consume her, as did Prue.

Leo sighed as he waited for the elders to gather, it had been a few hours down on earth and he knew Piper would be angry with him when he would return.

They were having a meeting and Leo was told to join because he was the charmed ones white lighter. The three head elders finally arrived and Odin began.

"As you all know, we have gathered to discuss, Kurax." Leo scratched his head, so that was the name of this demon, he had heard of him before but only rumors and legends.

"We may have brought the eldest charmed one back to life, but they still won't be able to defeat him, not alone," Odin explained.

"What if we were to give them new powers?" Leo suggested.

"We can't just give them powers Leo," Tenzin informed, "their powers progress on their own, Prudence's powers should begin developing since her death had stalled the progress.

Leo smiled, a little embarrassed, 'at least Prue will get stronger' he told himself.

Odin continued, "we are going to need to pool all of good magic together to destroy him."

Leo looked at the elder, he didn't want to risk embarrassing himself again but his curiosity got the better of him, "how will we destroy him without evil to help?"

"Well Leo, magic has developed since then, "Sandra explained, "plus with the power of four charmed ones, and a very powerful demon, and the rest of the magical commutity, we should be able to gather the right amout of power."

Leo raised his eyebrows, "what very powerful demon?"

Odin sighed, "Cole has offered to help us."

"Cole?" Leo was astounded, "we can't trust Cole! He almost destroyed all of us, not to mention Prue, he's evil!"

"He took the spell off her," Odin announced defending Cole, "he has been giving us information about what's going on in the underworld, he wants to help."

"And you believe that?" Leo couldn't help himself, after everything Cole put his family through, his anger got the better of him."

"No, but we need him, and he is giving us very useful information about Kurax," Odin informed, "it seems he has been resurrecting old threats."

"Old Threats?" Leo questioned, Sandra nodded.

"Yes, Nicholas attacked just recently."

Leo's eyes widened, "Nicholas, are they ok? Why didn't they call me?"

"They are fine Leo," Tenzin said with a hint of annoyance, "we blocked their calls from you."

"What?" Leo was angry, "what if their was and emergency?"

Odin raised up his hand to silence the white lighter, "calm down Leo, we would have informed you if there was an emergency, for now we have a task for you."

"What is it?" Leo asked as he began to calm down.

"We want you to watch Cole tonight, keep an eye on him," Sandra explained, "we need to make sure we can trust him." She noticed the concern in Leo's eyes, "don't worry they will be fine, we will make sure of that."

Leo hesitated but nodded and orbed out.

Kurax smiled as the demon appeared before him in a gust of wind.

"It's nice to see you again, I have a job for you,"

"I only serve the source," Shax announced in his deep voice.

The demon just laughed, "well the source isn't here, I am."

"I do not obey anyone but the source."

Kurax was tempted to just kill this thing right there but he restrained himself, he needed him. Shax was the only one who made the eldest weak, out of fear.

"Don't you want revenge on the ones who destroyed you…The charmed ones, or are you too weak," Kurax teased.

"I killed one of them, and she was the strongest, I can do it again." Shax told him, defending himself.

"That's what the last warlock said, and he failed," Kurax teased, he had shax in the palm of his hand.

"I won't fail," Shax informed before disappearing in a gust of wind.

The demon smiled and went back to his plans, he was going to take over everything, and the death of the charmed ones will be the trigger to his success.
