Season 2 Rewrite: Charmed and Fabulous

by SwiftyGirl7474

A follow up to my season 1 rewrite. An addition of Paige and Andy with some changes to the season two episodes.

14. Pardon My Past

A/N: I apologize profusely for worrying everyone with my absence but I promise I finish what I start lol. On another note, as far as Henry and Coop go, I would classify them as recurring characters right now. They show up sometimes and disappear and come back again. However, Henry is going to be more frequent then Coop. Coop and Phoebe will remain just friends for awhile.

Um, the next episode is Give Me a Sign which is really going to be rewritten so I would not expect an update soon. It's also going to go be directly related to this one. I'm going to keep the name because 'Give Me a Sign' actually fits well with the new plot.

Piper and Leo at this point aren't together per se but she's not with Dan either.

The past are italicized and I originally had Past Phoebe, Past Prue, Past Andy... etc but there was too many Past repetition so I took it out. Thus, it's just italicized. I think it works better this way.

Anyways, this episode turned out exactly how I wanted it. Hopefully you guys will like it too. Let me know what you think, please!

P.S. Memmek10k: I loved the Batman-Superman comment. I will be sure to provide some more of that in the next episode since it had me laughing in the middle of class. :)

Pardon My Past

The Halliwell Manor

A party at the Manor was slowly beginning to wind down. Piper was serving everyone a last drink, Andy was talking with Leo, and, lastly, Prue was showing a young couple to the door as they decided to call it a night.

"Great party," the woman offered whole-heartedly at the door.

"Drive carefully," Prue wished as a way of saying thanks.

"Will do, goodnight," the man replied. He waved one last time before the couple walked hand in hand to their car.

Prue closed the door behind the couple and turned back to the party to find Piper coming towards her. "Great party. Maybe we should do this more often," Prue admitted cheerfully but it was followed by a huge yawn.

Piper set the tray she was carrying down and glanced over to where Andy and Leo were chatting. "Should we call it?" Piper wondered as she watched her nearly asleep older sister.

"No, no, there's no need to end it because of me. I'm fine. It's all fun," Prue insisted although she made her way to the couch that was within hearing range of Andy and Leo.

Piper looked around for some other source of entertainment and found it in Paige and Jana who were seated next to the fireplace with their schoolwork. "Hey, how's the studying going?" she asked.

Jana smiled in greeting. "Oh, we finished studying hours ago," Jana corrected.

"Yep, we're just playing cards," Paige added.

Piper tilted her head to the side in surprise. "I thought you guys had a test tomorrow," she pointed out with a stern glance at the two college students.

"No, Phoebe has a test tomorrow," Paige reminded her.

"Right, I guess she's still upstairs then," Piper mused while glancing over at the stairs.

As if on cue, Phoebe appeared coming down the stairs but stopped halfway down when she noticed Piper, Paige, and Jana looking at her. "Hey, you guys, give me a break. It's after midnight and I have my exam tomorrow," Phoebe pleaded.

"Sorry, Pheebs. We didn't realize we were being that loud," Piper apologized.

"You could join us for a few minutes. Have a quick break," Jana suggested, pointing down at the cards between her and Paige.

"Yeah, we can play a round of 'Go Fish,'" Paige agreed.

A smirk crossed Phoebe's face but she shook her head. "I can't. I have too many phobias," she sighed. Paige and Jana nodded in understanding but Piper just looked confused. Phoebe seemed to notice as she explained further. "To learn for my Psych Exam. I had no idea there were so many. Claustrophobia, Arachnaephobia, um, kleptophobia, phallusophobia…"

"Acrophobia," Jana offered.

Phoebe pointed to her enthusiastically. "Fear of heights," she answered immediately.

"See, we can help you," Paige stated.

"You can help by keeping it down," Phoebe returned hopefully. "Did I mention it's after midnight?" she prompted.

Piper nodded slightly. "Twice," she admitted. "Don't worry, party's breaking up anyway. Plus, I think Prue's fallen asleep on the couch so…" she trailed off pointedly.

Phoebe, Paige, and Jana followed Piper's gaze to the couch. "I'm surprised she made it this long," Paige remarked.

Phoebe just returned the nod. "Thank you," she called over her shoulder as she started back up the steps. She paused at the top and kissed her hands dramatically and threw them out to the three women before disappearing.

Piper looked back over at Prue as soon as Phoebe was gone from view. "I'm going to tell Andy to take Prue upstairs. Be back," she decided only to stop walking when the doorbell rang.

"Who's that? Party's almost over and its after midnight as Phoebe was so kind as to point out," Paige wondered, staring at the door in surprise.

"Don't know," Piper mumbled.

Paige and Jana stood up. "Well, we'll get it, Piper. You take care of Prue," Jana offered and she and Paige walked to the front door.

Piper stepped up between Andy and Leo. "Hey, guys, we're breaking it up. Prue's out," Piper interrupted with a nod to the couch where Prue was clearly asleep.

~PO4~

Paige and Jana answered the door to find Jenny on the doorstep, dressed in her pajamas and looking particularly upset about something.

"Jenny? What's the matter?" Paige asked, a hint of worry in her voice.

Jenny appeared to be on the verge of hyperventilating while pointing back at her house. "It's Uncle Dan. He's talking to this guy and he's acting really weird and when I asked him about it he started yelling…"

"Whoa, whoa, okay," Paige interrupted. She waved her hand for Jenny to come inside before turning to face Jana. "Take her to the kitchen. I'll get Piper and Andy or something," Paige ordered.

~PO4~

Andy was just picking Prue up off the couch while Piper and Leo watched when Paige came hurrying into the conservatory. "Oh, you guys, we got a problem," Paige announced. Andy, Piper, and Leo just looked at her as if they expected more of an explanation. Paige placed her hands on her hips dramatically. "Look, get everyone out and meet me in the kitchen. Leave Prue, she's totally fine right there," she insisted.

Piper frowned but rushed to get everyone out. For all she knew a demon was about to pop up in the middle of the party. "Alright, everyone, goodnight. Have a safe trip home, we're going to have to call it now," Piper called over the music which was quickly turned off by Leo.

~PO4~

"Finally," Phoebe exclaimed when she heard Piper's announcement that it was time for the party to be over. She dropped her pen on her notebook and let her hair down before turning back to work.

~PO4~

Piper shut the door behind the last of the guests and ran for the kitchen where she found Andy kneeling in front of Jenny. Leo, Paige, and Jana were standing to the side, listening to Jenny's explanation. "Jenny, what's going on?" Piper demanded.

Andy held a hand up for Piper to be quiet while he passed Jenny a cup of water (courtesy of Leo).

"So you were in your room?" Andy prompted after Jenny took a sip from the cup.

Jenny nodded enthusiastically. "I heard talking and I thought it was weird since it's like midnight and Uncle Dan said he was coming over here for the party. Anyways, I went downstairs to see who it was talking to Uncle Dan… I've never seen him before and he saw me and freaked me out. He left though and I asked Uncle Dan about it and he just ignored me at first but he was talking about stuff that didn't make any sense," Jenny explained in one long breath.

"That doesn't sound good," Paige remarked.

"Did you say that he was coming to the party?" Piper questioned in surprise. Jenny nodded and Piper raised her eyebrows. "I thought he was skipping out cause he was mad," she admitted.

Leo looked at her curiously. "You invited him?" he asked.

"Of course I invited him. It would be obvious that we were throwing a party with all the cars in the driveway," Piper pointed out.

"Can we get back to the issue at hand?" Paige interrupted Piper and Leo's conversation.

"Thank you, Paige," Andy appreciated.

Piper nodded in agreement. "Okay, what do we do? We don't know much. It might not be anything…"

"He could have been drinking or something," Jana offered.

"Either way, she's not going back until we know," Andy insisted, earning nods of agreement from everyone in the room.

Jana looked thoughtful for a moment before speaking up. "The easiest thing to do, I think, is to just send Paige and Andy over. Between the two of them, they should be able to see if Jenny is in any danger. If she's not than everything's good. If she is, they can just bring her back over here," she suggested.

"Do you think it could be something like that?" Jenny asked nervously.

Andy ruffled her hair a little which got a bit of a glare out of Jenny. "We don't know but we'll figure it out before we leave you by yourself with him," he assured her. "Let's go," he called.

Paige reached out to take Jenny's hand and they led the way to the front door and out with Piper, Leo, and Jana following out of curiousity.

~PO4~

Phoebe threw her pen down in frustration as she heard the music start up again downstairs. She let out a loud groan and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. In her irritation, she didn't notice that the music hardly sounded like something that would be played at a party, at least this party.

"Okay, I asked you guys once to keep it down…" Phoebe started to rant as she walked down the stairs only to trail off when she saw there was no one in the room except an asleep Prue. She looked around for the source of the music and decided that maybe everyone had moved into the dining room. She followed the noises through the eerily empty house but she was suddenly thrown against the wall. Phoebe felt pressure around her neck as if someone was choking her and her hands were trapped against the wall. Her breath caught in her throat as her shirt fell off her shoulders followed by her bra strap. Her skirt began to pull up but as suddenly as it had started, it stopped. Phoebe collapsed to the ground, knocking into a table which in turn caused a lamp to fall off and shatter on the floor.

~PO4~

Everyone outside spun upon hearing the sound of the breaking lamp and Andy was the first to shove through the crowd to get inside. "Prue? Phoebe?" he yelled. He saw Prue on the couch almost immediately but she was now awake. "Prue, what happened?" Andy demanded. As soon as he was at the couch, he noticed Phoebe on the floor.

He wasn't the only one as Piper, Paige, Jana, Leo, and Jenny crowded in to see what was going on. "Phoebe?" Piper and Paige asked at the same time and they dashed forward to check on her.

"What happened?" Prue mumbled tiredly to which Andy just held her tighter while watching Phoebe.

"Are you alright?" Piper questioned, kneeling down next to her younger sister.

Phoebe, with a little help from Paige, sat up and pulled her bra strap and shirt back on. "Uh… yeah, I think so," she whispered, a little shaken by the ordeal.

"What happened?" Paige inquired gently.

Phoebe shrugged slightly. "I don't know but I'd sure like to find out."

[Opening Credits]

"I guess it's only right that some demon or warlock decided to try and mess with us again," Paige admitted while she followed Andy across the street to Dan's house.

"What do you mean?" Jenny asked.

Paige looked thoughtful for a moment before she answered. "The last demon/warlock to attack us was a month ago now when that ghost tried to hurt baby Matthew. Plus, we got brave and threw a party so we were just asking for it," Paige explained.

"Paige, are you paying attention?" Andy inquired seriously as they came up on the house.

Paige rolled her eyes but refrained from returning a sharp remark. "Yeah, but I'm going to have to be a little closer than this," she pointed out.

Andy didn't reply and instead walked up the front steps and knocked loudly on the door. There didn't seem to be an answer so he knocked again. After a few moments of waiting, during which time he exchanged a glance with Paige, he reached out and turned the knob so that the door fell open easily. "Dan? It's Andy," Andy called. There was still no answer. Andy frowned and turned to Paige. "Stay with her here. I'm going to take a quick look around," he ordered.

"Sure, okay," Paige agreed. She took Jenny's hand in hers so that she was ready to orb out if she needed to.

Andy had only gone a few steps into the hall when he noticed Dan leaning against the doorframe to a room. "Hey, Dan," Andy greeted in a relaxed voice despite being anything but relaxed at the moment. "I knocked and you didn't answer."

"Didn't hear you," Dan offered as an apology.

Andy eyed him warily. "Phoebe wanted me to ask you if it was okay Jenny stayed over," he lied.

Dan didn't appear convinced. "Why would they send you over?" he asked rather coldly.

"She asked Piper first but she didn't want to walk over here in the dark," Andy amended. "Prue was going to come over here for them but I told her I would," he added as that seemed to be a rather plausible statement.

"It's fine," Dan eventually allowed. "The bus comes by at 7:00. Make sure she's on it."

Andy nodded that he had heard and backed out of the hallway to where Paige and Jenny were waiting at the front door.

"What's the verdict?" Paige demanded.

"We're going back to our place," Andy answered, grabbing Paige's arm and pulling her out the door after him. Paige still had hold of Jenny, thus the teenager was dragged along as well.

"What's wrong with my Uncle Dan?" Jenny questioned with a worried glance over her shoulder.

Paige watched Andy closely, apparently just as interested in an answer as Jenny. "Nothing. I just need to look into something first," Andy replied cryptically and with a tone that clearly said not to ask any more questions. "We need to check on Phoebe," Andy stated as a change of subject.

Paige groaned softly at the words. "It's going to be a long night," she sighed.

~PO4~

Prue was pacing along the couch in front of Phoebe in order to try to keep herself awake. Leo found his gaze drawn to the kitchen as Piper came back with a glass of water. About the same time, Jana came back from looking out the window. "Paige and Andy are coming back. With Jenny," Jana announced.

Piper frowned while passing Phoebe the water. "Oh great," she exclaimed.

"Do you think they could be connected?" Phoebe asked curiously, earning confused looks from Piper, Prue, and Leo. "What happened to me and whatever's up with Dan," she clarified.

Piper immediately looked even more worried but Prue was the first to speak. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We don't know anything about Dan and we don't really know what happened to you. Can you repeat what happened again?"

"Okay, uh, I heard what I thought were party noises so I came downstairs to check and to yell at you guys and I… was attacked by something invisible," Phoebe tried to explain.

"So what? Like a ghost?" Prue prompted.

"Another ghost?" Andy repeated in disbelief. "I've about had enough of them," he added while moving to stand next to Prue.

Phoebe shook her head slightly. "Uh, I didn't sense like another being… It was more, uh, I don't know, like a, like a daydream," Phoebe replied.

"A daydream? Since when do daydreams attack people?" Piper inquired suspiciously.

Phoebe appeared a little reluctant to elaborate more but decided it was best. "It wasn't really an attack. It was more of a… a seduction."

"An interesting daydream," Leo remarked.

"More like a dangerous one," Jana argued, watching Phoebe with concern.

"Hey, Prue!" Paige's voice sounded from near the stairs. "Where did you move the extra blankets?"

Prue glanced behind her in the general direction of her voice. "Upstairs closet," Prue called back. There was the sound of Paige and Jenny going up the stairs before Prue turned back Phoebe. "The real question then, I guess, is what was it," she stated.

Phoebe turned to face Leo. "Have you ever run across anything like this? I mean, as a whitelighter?" Phoebe asked hopefully.

"Not really," Leo admitted apologetically.

"Which means we have no idea if it's going to strike again or not," Piper pointed out. She dropped her head into her hands before looking up at Andy. "What about Dan?" she questioned which drew everyone's gaze back to him.

Berkeley University

Prue followed Phoebe through the college campus as Phoebe led her to her class. "This is so embarrassing. I haven't needed my big sister to walk me to school since the first grade," Phoebe exclaimed. "Why couldn't Paige walk with me?" she sighed, thinking along the lines that it was okay for her younger sister to walk with her.

"Because Paige shouldn't be missing class to sit with you and I have nothing to do," Prue answered matter-of-factly. Phoebe just sighed again and Prue smirked. "Get used to it. Until we figure out what happened, we're your bodyguards," she warned her.

"How do you know that you don't need the bodyguard? How do you know that he won't come after you next?" Phoebe countered.

Prue shrugged, apparently unconcerned. "Because from your description, it sounded very, uh, intimate. It makes me think that yours is the only body it's interested in," she explained and Phoebe didn't have much of an argument for that. "You know, are you sure you're up for taking this exam?" Prue asked in concern.

"I can't let stuff like this keep me from living my life otherwise I'd never leave the house, you know?" Phoebe pointed out.

"True," Prue agreed.

Prue started to follow Phoebe inside her class when Phoebe spun around on her. "Oh, you're not going to sit beside me while I take this test," Phoebe insisted.

"I'm not?" Prue questioned, tilting her head to the side in confusion.

"No, you are not. You're going to wait patiently out here until I'm done, please," Phoebe stated with a pleading look at her eldest sister.

Prue stared at her for a moment before giving her the faintest of nods. "Alright, but if anything weird happens. Yell," she ordered

"Okay," Phoebe agreed immediately in her relief. She waved and hurried inside to get a seat.

Prue was left alone outside so she looked around for something to do. She noticed a photograph display set up just outside the class and couldn't contain her curiosity as she hurried over to it.

P4

Piper sat at the bar where she was paying the bills for the club while Leo came from the back to join her with a box of new glassware that he was setting out. "How's Phoebe?" he asked as he unpacked the glasses.

"Fine so far. She should be taking her test as we speak," Piper answered after a quick glance at her watch.

"So no more attacks after I left?" Leo pressed.

"Prue, Andy, and I… well, more like Andy and I took turns watching her all night. Nothing happened," Piper explained, the relief evident in her voice.

Leo looked a little surprised. "Really… well, that's, uh, good," he admitted.

Piper glanced up as his tone clearly told her that he had something to add. "Wait a minute. I know that tone. What's up? What do you know?" Piper inquired. She pushed her work to the side and waited for an explanation.

"Nothing," Leo insisted with a shrug. He met her eyes and frowned before giving in. "Just…"

"Just what?" Piper prompted when he trailed off. "Come on, Leo. If it has anything to do with what happened…"

"It may not," Leo interrupted. "I don't know. It's just… look, I was up all night trying to recall a similar situation another whitelighter had with one of her charges. It had something to do with, uh… a past life coming back to haunt her present one," he began.

Piper just looked confused. "What?" she asked.

"Look, it's obviously very rare. It doesn't happen to most people but if I remember right, in this particular case, her past life was trying to warn her present one," Leo finished.

"Warn her? About what?" Piper wondered.

Leo suddenly appeared a little irritated. "I don't know. And that's what's so frustrating. 'Cause I don't have any way of finding out either," he ranted, perhaps a little sadly.

Piper studied him for a long moment. "You miss being a whitelighter, don't you?" Piper realized.

"Yeah, times like this I do. When I know I could help and also when…" Leo trailed off, uncertain whether to continue or not but his eyes met hers again and he knew he needed to. "… when I think that I'm never going to be with you," he admitted.

Piper didn't immediately answer as she thought carefully about what to say. Dan's voice cut into their conversation before she could reply. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything," Dan stated although it sounded as if he wouldn't really care if he was.

Piper spun to face him. "Dan, hi," she greeted with false warmth. She lowered her voice so that Dan wouldn't hear what she said to Leo. "Go to the back and call Andy," she ordered.

"If what Andy thinks is true, I'm not leaving you alone in the room with him," Leo countered firmly.

"I'm the witch, not you. Call Andy and then you can come back," Piper snapped under her breath. She smiled over at Dan and raised her voice again. "You coming in?" Piper asked. Dan slowly approached them while Leo gave him one last look before hurrying off to call Andy as Piper had requested. "What are you doing here? I thought you were mad at me when you didn't come to the party last night," she rambled a little in her nervousness.

However, Dan didn't seem to notice it. "What party?" he questioned so that Piper narrowed her eyes. "Right, that party. Busy crunching numbers. You know, job to bid," Dan amended casually as he sat down on the stool next to her. He looked over his shoulder in time to see Leo shut the door and then turned back to her.

"Of course," Piper agreed in understanding.

"If you don't mind me asking, what did Phoebe want with Jenny?" Dan asked.

Piper busied herself with writing a few numbers down on the paperwork in front of her. The question sounded casual but there seemed to be an underlying question within it. "As far as I know they just talked about school," Piper lied easily.

"About school?" Dan repeated. "That's all?" he prompted.

"Yep, we all went to sleep at around two except Prue and Andy who were already asleep," Piper added. "Why?" she inquired, finally looking back up at him.

Dan just shrugged. "No reason. I just like to know what's going on with my niece," he explained before standing up again and moving for the door.

Piper appeared a little surprised at his sudden departure. "Are you leaving already?" Piper called after him.

Dan paused on his way out. "Work," he stated simply.

Piper was only left alone for a few minutes before Leo came back in with Andy right behind him. Both men scanned the area for Dan but relaxed when they saw Piper. "What was that about?" Leo inquired.

"I don't know. He just asked about what Jenny and Phoebe did last night and left," Piper replied with a shrug of her shoulders. "It seemed like legitimate curiosity but I don't… he was different," she admitted.

"What did you say?" Andy questioned, his eyes flickering to the door that Dan had left through.

"Just that they talked about school before going to sleep," Piper answered. Andy nodded that he had heard and then appeared thoughtful for a moment. "What do you know?" Piper demanded.

Andy shrugged while taking the seat across from Piper. "Not enough information but if I had to guess, I'd say he wanted to know if Jenny had told us anything about him. Trying to cover his tracks," he guessed but didn't sound entirely confident. "On another note, I traced Dan's contacts this morning. He's made several calls to his brother recently and I found that his brother had checked army records for Leo Wyatt," Andy stated.

"He checked for my army records?" Leo repeated.

Andy nodded and turned to face Leo. "Which the only Leo Wyatt there is…"

"… Is his in WWII," Piper finished with a groan. She dropped her head onto her arms. "So what are we going to do?" Piper finally asked.

Andy didn't answer as his cell went off. He looked down and saw 'Prue' pop up on his caller ID before he answered. "Prue?" Piper and Leo watched as Andy frowned more than before at whatever Prue was saying. "We'll meet you at the Manor," Andy replied and then hung up. Piper and Leo didn't have to ask why but Piper grabbed her stuff together and led the way to the car.

Berkeley University

Phoebe was scribbling down the answer to question fifteen when she once again felt as if someone was choking her. She dropped her paper and pencil and her hands instinctively moved to her throat to try and loosen the pressure. Several people near her glanced over to see what was going on to see her suddenly thrown out of her chair by an invisible force. A girl screamed, alerting the rest of the room which quickly became much more alive.

~PO4~

Prue turned away from the photograph display when a group of students hurried out of the classroom. She heard a scream and rushed forward. "Phoebe," she whispered. "Excuse me," Prue offered to the crowd of students that surrounded Phoebe. Prue knelt down next to her younger sister. "Phoebe, Phoebe," she called nervously, her hand reaching out to push Phoebe's hair away from her face. Phoebe stopped choking as suddenly as it had started and she shot up, gasping for breath. "Are you okay?" Prue demanded.

The Heavens

The door to the Elder's Assembly was opened to reveal Paige flanked by several whitelighters. She was pushed forward a couple steps and the other whitelighters hurried back out and closed the door again. Paige just glared over her shoulder for a minute before tossing her hair over her shoulder and boldly advancing on the head whitelighters. "You know, you should really consider putting a sign up that points in your direction or maybe an information booth. It's really easy to get lost up here," Paige suggested with a cheeky smile.

One elder rolled his eyes but the others seemed to just ignore Paige completely. "Ms. Halliwell, what is it you need?" he asked in tense politeness.

Paige frowned at his address to her since she had always insisted on being Paige Matthews but she let it pass this time. Only because Phoebe needed whatever information these guys had A.S.A.P. "I want to know what's hurting my sister. Leo believes it might have something to do with her past life or something," Paige admitted.

"Yes, it's a rare occurrence but not unheard of," another elder drawled although his eyes didn't leave whatever he was working on in front of him.

Paige stayed silent, expecting them to give her a little more information. When they didn't offer any, she had to refrain from stomping her foot in frustration. "Is that all you can help me with? I was under the impression you could offer some kind of advice," she prompted, making it clear that she wasn't impressed with them so far.

"Phoebe Halliwell's past life was placed under a curse that threatens her now. Find out what it was and you may be able to break it. It must be done by midnight," the first elder elaborated.

"Okay, anything else?" Paige inquired.

Another elder glanced up from her work. "Your Book of Shadows is invaluable to you," she added.

Paige just nodded and decided that must be everything they were willing to give her. She had a feeling that they didn't really know which was why they were so vague and cryptic to begin with. "Well, thanks," Paige offered only to apparently be ignored. She rolled her eyes dramatically and left the room so she could orb out.

The Halliwell Manor

Paige orbed back in in the conservatory of the Manor where Piper, Phoebe, Leo, and Andy were gathered. Piper was sitting next to Phoebe who was sitting next to Andy who was flipping through the Book of Shadows. Leo stood behind the couch, looking over the pages as Andy flipped them.

"Okay, it's official, they really don't like me," Paige announced as the last of the orbs faded away.

"They like you just fine," Leo countered. Paige placed her hands on her hips and stared at Leo disbelievingly. "Alright, so you're a little more headstrong than most whitelighters…" he began.

"It's okay, Missy Paige. We like you," Piper interrupted.

Phoebe nodded in agreement and leaned forward slightly. "So what did they say?" Phoebe inquired hopefully.

"Not much," Paige admitted apologetically. "They said that Leo was right and your past life was put under a curse of some kind that is threatening you now and that the Book of Shadows is invaluable to us," she continued.

Leo fell silent as he thought over what Paige had said and it took him a few minutes to notice that the sisters were waiting for him to decipher it for them. "It means that there should be something in the Book of Shadows about past lives. Potions, spells, incantations, something like that," he explained.

Andy quit flipping through the book and instead passed it over to Piper. "You look. I'm gonna go check on Prue," Andy stated.

"She has been in there for awhile," Phoebe admitted with a worried look toward the bathroom.

Paige followed her gaze, an apologetic look on hers while Andy disappeared inside the bathroom. "Oh, is she sick again?"

Phoebe nodded slightly. "Yeah, I think I stressed her out. I'm a horrible aunt," Phoebe sighed.

"Join the club," Piper remarked without looking up at the book.

Leo rolled his eyes at their conversation. "None of you are horrible aunts. It's normal pregnancy stuff, I'm sure," Leo insisted.

"So past lives, what's up with them?" Paige wondered, hastily changing the subject.

"Well, our past lives are how our soul evolves, how we grow as individuals from one lifetime to the next," Leo attempted to explain.

"Okay, then why is my past life trying to kill me?" Phoebe returned.

Leo slid down into the seat across from Phoebe. "Look, I don't think it is. I… I think it's trying to warn you. Give you a chance to do something about it. Maybe it's because you get premonitions," he suggested.

Prue stumbled back into the conservatory with Andy in time to catch the end of the conversation. "Wait, do something about what?" she asked, having missed the first part.

"About whatever happened before that's endangering her now," Leo replied.

Paige glanced over at her. "Leo's hunch about the past lives was right," she added for Prue's benefit. "How are you feeling?" she wondered sympathetically.

"I'm fine, really. Phoebe's the one we should be worried about," Prue assured them.

Andy pulled a chair over to them. "At least sit down, you're turning a little green," he commented.

Prue huffed a little but complied. "Wonder why," she muttered.

"Hey, guys, Leo's right. Here's a spell that will take you to that past life," Piper announced, pointing emphatically at the open page.

Prue craned her head so that she could see the spell while Paige walked around to stand next to Leo. "Wait, we're not doing this," Prue decided almost immediately.

"Looks like you don't have to. It's written in first person. I can do it alone," Phoebe pointed out.

"None of you should ever do anything like this alone. What if it turns out like when you went to the future?" Andy argued.

"Exactly and if I'm right, I don't see a reversal spell to bring you back," Prue added.

Paige flipped through a few of the pages. "You're right," Paige admitted.

"Which means that she can probably come back whenever she wants to," Leo stated in assurance.

Prue was still shaking her head. "Probably? That's not good enough. What if she can't? She could be trapped in her past life where something awful may have happened to her," Prue fretted.

"Someone should definitely go with you," Andy agreed.

"Andy, the spell is in first person and besides, if multiple people start casting it, we'll probably end up in two different lifetimes or something," Phoebe pointed out before looking over at Prue. "And if I don't go back, the same awful thing could happen to me in this life," she insisted.

Paige seemed to be weighing the odds. "Well, maybe we can write a new spell that can send all of us to the same time," she offered.

"It'll take too long," Phoebe retorted. "I only have until midnight at best and I've just started turning my life around. I really don't want my past life to ruin it for me now," Phoebe pleaded. Her sisters, Andy, and Leo were all silent and Phoebe slowly pulled the Book of Shadows toward her so she could read the incantation.

"Remove the chains of time and space

And make my spirit soar,

Let these mortal arms embrace

The life that haunts before."

Phoebe's eyes closed as soon as the last words left her mouth and she fell unconscious into Piper's lap. Prue shifted nervously in her seat to which caused Andy to stroke her hair soothingly. Paige slipped into the seat next to Phoebe to wait out the spell.

Halliwell Manor 1924

Phoebe was riding in her 1920's car that pulled to a stop at the driveway of the 1924 Halliwell Manor. A greeter stepped off the sidewalk as soon as the car had stopped and opened the door so that Phoebe could easily get out. She barely cast the greeter a glance before she walked up the steps, passing many couples both entering and leaving.

A woman approached her at the top of the steps. "Thanks for the love potion. It worked wonders," she appreciated with a pointed glance at the man next to her.

Phoebe didn't answer, only gave a curt nod of acknowledgment and proceeded up the steps. The doorman opened the door wide for her. "Welcome back," he offered with a bright smile.

The moment Phoebe crossed the threshold, the 1920's music was heard loud and clear. She ignored the party and the looks (some cheerful and some wary).

The Halliwell Manor

Piper had shifted Phoebe into a more comfortable position on the couch. "You think she's alright?" Piper asked with a hint of worry in her voice that she didn't bother to hide.

"She looks alright so far," Leo pointed out.

Andy had now moved so that he was sitting on the arm of Prue's chair and played absently with her hand while Prue's eyes were fixed on Phoebe. She exchanged a brief glance with Paige but neither said anything.

The Halliwell Manor 1924

Phoebe made her way to the conservatory where Dan was playing the piano and Piper was serving drinks. Dan noticed her in the doorway and his smile fell as Phoebe glared at him. Dan forced himself to look away and back at his piano.

She turned around to continue her way through the house when another woman approached her. "Well, I was wondering where you had went off to," the woman remarked.

Phoebe held up a small bag for the woman to see. "I had to get some herbs. I can't very well make my potions without them," she replied with a smile to the other woman. "Would you like me to curse anyone for you?" Phoebe asked eagerly.

The woman glanced behind her at a man that she was with. "Maybe later," she admitted.

Phoebe laughed with the woman before she continued on. At least until Piper hurried by her to get to the bar. "Hurry up with that giggle water, Jake. We have thirsty people waiting," Piper ordered.

The bartender nodded just as Phoebe came up beside Piper. "What's the matter, dear cousin? You're not afraid of me, are you?" Phoebe inquired upon seeing how Piper looked at her.

Piper just raised her eyebrows. "Should I be?" she returned stoically.

Phoebe didn't immediately answer but instead turned her attention to Jake. "My usual and bring it to my booth," she stated and then turned back to Piper. "Would you tell your husband to play something different? I'm bored with this old song."

Piper walked by her without another word and stopped next to Dan. "Don't worry about her, baby. Just keep playing," she assured him.

"Anything for you," Dan agreed.

Piper smirked over at Phoebe who was clearly rather angry at not being taken seriously. Phoebe stalked off into the solarium. Piper watched her go before reaching up to take an empty make-up kit off the top of the piano.

Phoebe walked into the solarium just as Prue took a picture of an old couple with her camera. The old couple thanked her emphatically with a "thanks, Mrs. Anthony" and walked off while Prue smiled and waved after them. Phoebe ignored the line for the pictures and stalked toward her other cousin when Andy cut in front of her.

"You have to wait in line," Andy warned her, shifting none-too-subtly to show an older gun that he had.

"Mr. Anthony, you know I have no intentions of getting my picture taken," Phoebe retorted with a hint of a threat in her voice. Phoebe smirked up at him and let a finger trail down the front of his suit. "Don't worry, your wife will still be in one piece when I leave," she assured him. Prue seemed to notice the hold up and thus stepped between Andy and Phoebe. "Hello, cousin," Phoebe greeted.

Prue didn't return the greeting. "We need to talk… soon," she stated instead.

"We're done talking," Phoebe retorted. With the underlying threat in place, she walked off to another part of the house.

Piper came up to stand next to Prue and Andy. "Did you get the spell?" Prue asked without taking her eyes off the departing Phoebe.

Piper silently opened the make-up kit which held a single piece of paper. Prue took it and slipped it into the top of her dress. "Is everything going to be ready, baby?" Prue questioned, glancing briefly up at Andy.

"Everything's set," Andy replied just as Phoebe turned to find them staring at her.

Phoebe cast it out of her mind and walked into the next room. There was a little girl sitting in front of a crystal ball with an older woman sitting across from her. "Say these words. Heed the…" the little girl started.

"Christina Larson, what in the devil are you doing?!" Phoebe demanded. She turned her glare to the other woman. "And you, get out of here," she ordered. The woman scrambled off without a second to spare. Phoebe turned back to Christina. "I told you to watch my things. That's all," Phoebe snapped while grabbing a porcelain doll and tossing it to the floor.

The doll shattered on the hard wooden floors and Christina ran toward it. "My dolly," she cried, tears forming in her eyes.

"Spells and charms are not toys, Christina. Do you understand me?" Phoebe pressed. Christina only hugged her broken doll against her chest, slowly rocking it in her arms. Phoebe spun around for the door that led into the garden behind the house. She leaned against it until a man came up behind her and wrapped an arm around her waist. She smiled and let him pull her body up against him.

The next thing she knew, the man grabbed her throat and pushed her up against the wall. Her hands were magically pushed out of the way. "I've been looking all over for you," the man admitted. He loosened the pressure on her neck and attacked her lips with his. His hand slipped off the sleeve of her dress and then inched down her body to pull up her dress.

Their hands interlocked and Phoebe shifted against him. "Why must you tease me, Anton?" she sighed.

"Come with me," Anton whispered in her ear. He tightened his hold on her hand and pulled her after him around to the very back of the house which was deserted of all people. Anton slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a small bottle. "Drink this," Anton ordered.

"What is it?" Phoebe inquired.

"A potion to triple your power. In case your cousins are ready for us. It's the only way for us to succeed. You do want that, don't you," Anton prompted. Phoebe hesitated for a split moment before her face slowly split into a smile. "That's my girl," Anton purred as Phoebe drank the potion in one gulp. "Go ahead, test it," he prompted.

Phoebe looked around to make sure no one was watching and then held her hand out. Fire shot from her hand and set a crate of wine ablaze.

The Halliwell Manor

Phoebe shot up from her unconscious state with a gasp of surprise at what she had done. Piper reached toward her without a second to waste. "Okay, okay," Piper soothed, pushing Phoebe's hair away from her face.

"Where am I?" Phoebe demanded.

"You're home, honey, you're home," Prue assured her.

"What happened?" Paige asked in curiousity which earned a glare from Piper. "What? I want to know," she insisted.

Phoebe just looked guilty. "I was bad… very, very, bad…" she admitted.

[Commercial Break]

Prue led the way up the stairs to the attic with Andy and Phoebe right behind her and Piper, Paige, and Leo followed a little slower. Prue slapped Andy's hand away from her as she climbed the stairs. "I am not so sick that I can't walk up the stairs by myself," she snapped without looking at him.

"Will you just humor me?" Andy suggested but didn't receive a reply which was answer enough.

Prue opened the attic door and proceeded inside toward the shelves set up in the back. "Okay, I put the family tree on the third shelf from the bottom when I was done with it," she explained to Phoebe. Phoebe skirted past her eldest sister to get to the said shelves.

"Uh, I still don't understand," Piper admitted.

"We were all related. Cousins," Phoebe began, pointing between her, Prue, and Piper.

Paige frowned when she wasn't included. "Well, what about me?" she asked, sounding hurt.

Phoebe glanced over her shoulder. "I didn't see you. Maybe you were just late to the party or something," Phoebe offered. Paige appeared a little put out at that but didn't reply. Phoebe returned to looking through the stuff that littered the correct shelf. "And us three lived here at the Manor back in the twenties," she continued.

"Together? Here?" Piper repeated and then rolled her eyes. "So much for evolution," Piper remarked.

Prue tilted her head to the side in confusion. "Wait, you saw us in our past lives? I mean, did we look the same?" she questioned.

Phoebe paused in her search as she seemed surprised by her answer. "Actually, yeah, you did. Kind of," she answered thoughtfully.

"Well, they probably looked the same to you because your soul recognized their souls. I mean, we all tend to travel in the same circle of family, friends, even enemies throughout our various lives. And that's why our souls recognize each other. So we can keep finding each other. That's what soul mates means," Leo explained.

"Oh, well, Prue, I guess you and Andy must be soul mates then. You two were married," Phoebe commented off-handedly.

Prue and Andy exchanged a glance. "It's good to know that my taste remains the same," Prue stated with a slight smirk.

"And we're never apart too long," Andy agreed, kissing her cheek.

Paige made a disgusted noise. "Kiss on your own time," she grumbled, earning a laugh from Andy. "So what was it like?" Paige asked Phoebe.

"It was really weird being back like that because it wasn't like I had any control over my actions. It was more like I was a visitor. Watching. Feeling," Phoebe replied.

"Feeling bad?" Piper repeated what Phoebe had said earlier.

Phoebe's smile fell a little. "Feeling very very bad," she admitted. Prue, Piper, and Paige exchanged a glance and Phoebe threw her hands in the air. "Okay, I admit. I liked it. It felt good to be respected and powerful…" she trailed off and spun to face Leo. "…Hey, speaking of powers, how come I didn't get to keep that kickass power I had back then?" Phoebe demanded.

"Well, if you screw up, you regress. Your past self must have abused the power. That's why it was taken away from you," Leo explained.

"That kind of sucks," Paige stated.

"Tell me about it cause it was so hot," Phoebe exclaimed. "Literally."

Prue looked over at her slyly. "Yeah, apparently that wasn't the only thing that was really hot," she prompted eagerly.

Phoebe let out an almost dreamy sigh. "Ooh, yeah, Anton was hot too. Ooh and he was such a good kisser." Phoebe's hand moved to her mouth. "And so good with his hands," she added.

"Okay, that's enough details," Andy interrupted. "You realize that he's probably the one that killed you," he pointed out.

"Maybe," Phoebe allowed but didn't appear convinced. "But, you know, it could have also been Past Dan."

"Dan?" Piper repeated. "As in that Dan?" she inquired while pointing out the window. Phoebe just nodded and continued her search. "You saw him too?" she prompted for an elaboration.

Phoebe stopped again to look back at Piper. "He was your husband. Sorry, Leo," Phoebe apologized with a sympathetic look at the whitelighter.

Piper's eyes widened and Leo actually smiled. "That's okay. I'm hoping Piper learns from her past mistakes," he stated.

"Huh," Piper muttered, hastily looking away from him.

Prue smirked at the development. "Huh," she laughed while exchanging knowing looks with Andy. Piper lightly pushed Prue's shoulder in a silent command to keep quiet.

"So what else did you see?" Paige demanded eagerly.

"Um…" Phoebe looked around the attic and her eyes landed on Past Prue's camera. "Oh, Prue, this was the camera that you used in your past life," Phoebe informed them.

Prue appeared stunned for a moment before leaving Andy to look at the camera. "Wait I… I was a photographer?" she asked.

"Yeah and apparently a really good one because people were lining up to get their portraits taken," Phoebe explained.

"Really?" Prue pressed, a smile playing on her features.

Phoebe nodded and pointed to Andy. "Really. I mean, Andy was threatening people with his gun that got a little feisty when in line," she added.

"I'm sure I wasn't threatening," Andy argued.

"Okay, so it was more implied…" Phoebe agreed off-handedly. "The point is that you had a gun," she insisted.

"I thought you were supposed to evolve. It doesn't sound much like anyone really changed," Paige pointed out.

"From one past life to the next it may seem that way but over lifetimes little changes start to add up," Leo clarified.

Prue was still looking over the camera that was now in her hands. "So, um, any idea what kind of power I had?" Prue inquired hopefully.

"Uh, I don't know but whatever it was, it must have been pretty powerful because Anton had to triple mine," Phoebe answered before frowning up at the shelves. "You must have moved it again. The family tree is not up there," she exclaimed.

Paige rolled her eyes dramatically and held her hand out. "Family tree," she called and the rolled-up paper appeared in her hands.

Piper stared at Paige disapprovingly. "You couldn't have done that like twenty minutes ago?" she asked.

"And what? Miss all this cool conversation?" Paige retorted. She led the way to a large box and laid the paper out. Her sister crowded around while Andy and Leo held the sides and looked at it over them.

"Well, there we are at the bottom," Piper stated, pointing to their four names.

Prue followed the lines up with her finger. "Right and here are Mom and Grams."

"Okay and this must be us again. 3 cousins," Phoebe decided. Her hand moved over the names P. Bowen, P. Baxter, and P. Russell.

"Wait, does that mean I'm really not included?" Paige demanded.

"Maybe you hadn't died yet," Andy offered. Paige crossed her arms with a huff and didn't appear interested in the family tree anymore.

Leo glanced at her sympathetically. "Come on, Paige. It's more likely that your soul didn't want to be reborn until now. There's a reason," he promised her.

Piper, Phoebe, and Prue exchanged a worried glance at Paige's reaction before Prue finally got back to the task at hand. "Which one is which?" she wondered aloud.

"That one must be you, Prue. Married to J. Anthony, which was Andy's name, I think," Phoebe offered.

Paige couldn't contain her curiousity and looked over it. "Even your name doesn't change much," she remarked.

"Yeah, yeah, Squirt, I got it," Andy laughed.

"Well, that at least narrows it down," Piper commented after a moment.

Phoebe's eyes widened in realization. "Wait a minute, what is today's date?" she asked.

"Uh, February 17th," Piper answered.

Phoebe sighed and pointed at P. Russell. "I think this one is me. She died February 17th 1924. The same age I am also."

"Certainly explains why the warnings are happening today," Prue agreed.

Phoebe turned to face Leo. "So it doesn't mean that I'm going to die today too, right?" she inquired.

Leo didn't answer as it was obvious he didn't know. However, Paige guiltily raised her hand to get their attention. "Um, the elders said that the curse had to be broken by midnight…" she admitted.

Everyone was silent for a split moment until Andy broke the silence. "Okay, we need to find out what this curse was," Andy decided.

"What was that little girl's name? Christina… Christina… Christina Larson! Christina Larson. Maybe she can remember what happened," Phoebe suggested.

Prue didn't appear convinced. "Can you say long shot?" she questioned.

"Well, it's the only shot I got, Prue," Phoebe argued so that Prue reluctantly fell silent.

"I'll call Darryl and see if we can track her down," Andy offered.

Phoebe nodded and then frowned a little. "I just hope she's forgotten what I did to her doll," she sighed.

~PO4~

Everyone was just going out the door to load the cars when Phoebe paused on the threshold. "Oh, hold on, I need my purse," she called and spun around to rush back up the stairs.

The remaining three sisters plus Leo and Andy turned to watch her leave and exchanged glances when Jana pulled her car into the driveway. She quickly jumped out of her car and narrowed her eyes thoughtfully at the group on the door step. "Are you guys going somewhere?" Jana asked in confusion.

"Yeah, trying to save Phoebe from her past life," Piper explained as if it was a perfectly normal thing to be doing.

Jana nodded and looked over at Paige. "Do you want me to try and get you an extension on the project today?" she offered.

"Oh my god, that's today!" Paige exclaimed.

Jana smirked a little at Paige's faulty memory. "Yes, very good, Paige," she teased.

"Project? Should you be there?" Prue demanded.

"Eh…" Paige mumbled. It wasn't like she wanted to have to do the project.

"I think that's a yes," Andy stated with a slight chuckle which earned a glare from Paige.

Paige shook her head after a quick moment of contemplation. "It doesn't matter, Phoebe's more important," Paige insisted before facing Jana again. "Do you think you can get me the extension?"

Jana started to reply but Prue beat her to it. "Paige Matthews, you're going to go to class and ace that project. We'll call you if anything happens," Prue promised in a tone of finality. "By the way, Jana, I love your necklace," she added, completely off topic.

Jana appeared a little surprised and her hand moved up to fiddle with her necklace. "Thanks," she appreciated.

"Is something the matter?" Leo questioned when Jana shifted a little nervously.

Jana didn't immediately reply but found her gaze drifting over to Dan's house. "Well, someone just went in Dan's house…" she admitted.

Piper's eyes widened and she interrupted Jana's thought. "We forgot about Dan. With all the Phoebe drama, we forgot about Dan," Piper realized, spinning on Andy.

"Ooh…" Paige sighed.

Prue frowned as well and she followed Jana's gaze to Dan's house. "It's not that big of a deal. Okay, um, Piper, you and Andy can go figure out what's up with him. Paige can go to class with Jana and Phoebe, Leo, and I can go see this Christina Larson. She's in a nursing home so they probably wouldn't have let us all in anyways," Prue decided after a quick moment.

"Are you sure about splitting up?" Piper inquired nervously.

"Paige is in hearing range if anyone needs back-up," Leo pointed out.

Paige just looked irritated but offered a "fine." Prue and Piper looked at her uncertainly but before they could say anything she was already walking to Jana's car. "Come on, Jana. We're going to be late," she called.

Jana hesitated, acutely aware of Paige's change in attitude before offering the other sisters and their guys a wave and hurrying after Paige.

Phoebe came running down the stairs about the same time as Paige and Jana drove off. "Okay, I'm ready… what's going on?" she asked after seeing their faces.

"Change of plans. I'll tell you on the way," Prue stated. She led Phoebe and Leo to Piper's van while Andy and Piper stayed behind at the Manor.

Dan's House

Piper started to walk into Dan's house when Andy grabbed her arm to stop her. He frowned and didn't reply to Piper's questioning look that she gave him. He silently reached out to the door knob but the door swung open easily at the lightest touch.

"Does he normally keep his door open?" Andy asked.

"No, but I'm about convinced that he's not normal right now," Piper admitted with a look of worry. She waved her hand at the door, a silent question to whether they were going in or not.

Andy appeared to think about it for a moment before he slowly crossed the threshold into the house. He kept close to the wall and followed the only light in the house which was coming from the conservatory. Piper was close behind him but halted when Andy stopped abruptly. She knew why as soon as she heard the conversation drifting from the room.

"… Not good enough, Gordon Johnson," A man's voice stated, a hint of exaggerated disappointment in his tone.

Piper tilted her head to the side. "Gordon Johnson?" she mouthed to Andy who just shrugged, apparently as confused as she was.

"Look, man, it's not my fault. I haven't seen a necklace that looks like that since the day Pearl died," Gordon Johnson replied, much to the shock of Piper and Andy since it was Dan's voice.

"It's not just a necklace. It's an amulet. Now tell me what happened to it if you want your witch to stay alive," the other man snapped. It was clear his patience was running thin.

There was the sound of shuffling which was assumed by Piper and Andy to be pacing. "I wasn't there, okay? The last I saw it, it was around her neck," Dan insisted.

"Pity…" the man whispered. "And this… Dan doesn't know?" he prompted.

"No. Never seen it," Dan answered and a tense silence fell. "What is it?" he asked.

"We're not alone anymore."

Piper's eyes widened and she looked to Andy. Andy silently agreed with her observation. They'd been caught and time was up. He held his hand out to her and Piper immediately grabbed hold of it. Andy took a couple of steps back in the hopes not to draw attention to them by lighting up the hallway before he orbed out. No sooner had he done so then Anton came around the corner, his eyes scouring for the intruder.

The Retirement Home

Prue, Phoebe, and Leo walked into the room of the elderly lady and Christina immediately pinpointed Phoebe. She pointed accusingly at the youngest Halliwell and rolled her wheelchair forward a few inches. "My dolly! You broke my dolly!" she exclaimed.

"No, no, that wasn't me," Phoebe insisted in what she hoped was a somewhat soothing voice. "It was just someone that looked like me… sort of. It's… it's hard to explain," Phoebe began.

"But she recognizes your soul, that's a good sign," Leo pointed out.

Prue leaned toward Phoebe. "Just let her know that you're the good Phoebe and not the bad one," she suggested.

Phoebe hesitated a second but nodded and walked toward Christina who was watching her warily. "Uh, you don't have to be afraid of me anymore. I'm not going to hurt you, I promise," Phoebe assured her. She slowly knelt down next to Christina's wheelchair.

Prue was quick to notice how Christina seemed to hole up as Phoebe approached her. "Ms. Larson, we were hoping you could help us with something," Prue admitted, earning a look from Christina.

"Do you remember when you were a little girl back in 1924? You used to go to a speakeasy that was run by three cousins. Do you remember that?" Phoebe asked softly.

A smile crossed Christina's face and she nodded enthusiastically. "Daddy was the bartender. He used to pick me up after school and take me there," she replied and let out a little giggle at the memories. "I liked the piano," she added. "If you were the only girl in the world and I…"

Phoebe exchanged a glance with Prue as Christina sang a line of the popular bar song. She hesitantly reached out to touch Christina's hand who trailed off at the contact. "The girl that looked like me, do you remember her?" Phoebe questioned.

Christina drew her hand away harshly. "She was an evil witch," Christina stated, her gaze shifting back to Prue and Leo. "I used to hide upstairs by the landing…" She slowly glanced over Phoebe. "I saw everything."

"Did something happen to the bad witch?" Prue inquired.

"Oh, it was scary. Fire and screaming," Christina explained before pointing at Phoebe. "And then… you were murdered," she finished.

Phoebe took a deep breath to calm herself. "Do you remember who murdered me?"

"Was it a man named Anton?" Prue asked.

Christina was no longer looking at them and her hand moved to her neck. "It was such a pretty necklace. Just ripped it off the bad witch and then strangled her," she exclaimed.

"Who strangled the evil witch?" Leo prompted gently.

Christina suddenly burst into tears. "That was my favorite dolly," she cried.

Phoebe dropped her head into her hand. "I'm so sorry," she apologized before standing up and backing out of the room. Prue and Leo followed her after a quick word to Christina. Phoebe looked over the many elderly people in the room. "Well, bright side, at least I don't have to worry about ending up in a place like this in my golden years," Phoebe sighed when she heard the footsteps following her.

Prue came up beside her and gave her a quick one-armed hug. "Hey, at least we have time to figure out what happened," she pointed out.

"Not much time. By midnight, I'll be dead," Phoebe argued. "I know I won't make it to February 18th unless…"

"You go back to the past again and find some answers," Leo interrupted.

The Halliwell Manor

Phoebe stormed into the Manor and shot straight toward the conservatory where Andy and Piper were leaned over the Book of Shadows in an attempt to find out what necklace would be so important. They also had the family tree spread out on the table.

Piper looked up as Phoebe came in followed more slowly by Leo and Prue. "Leo," Piper called immediately upon seeing him. He faced her curiously but didn't have time to reply before Piper continued. "Dan thinks that he's Gordon Johnson who is his past life. How is that possible? Can you just remember your past life sometimes?" she demanded.

"No, those are memories of a different person," Leo answered before frowning in thought. "What do you mean he thinks he's Gordon Johnson?" he asked in confusion.

Andy stood up from the table and offered his seat to Prue who sank down into it rather gratefully. "When we went over there, he was talking to someone else. He answered to Gordon Johnson although Dan was mentioned but almost impersonally. They were looking for something and for some reason this guy believed Gordon Johnson would know where it was," Andy explained.

"That doesn't make sense. Past life memories don't just spontaneously come back," Leo insisted.

"Well, this can't be a coincidence. Dan's past life suddenly taking over the same time Phoebe's is trying to kill her?" Prue pointed out.

Phoebe shrugged and took the book off the table. "If it's connected then maybe I'll find more answers back there. If not, Dan might just have to wait another few hours before I die," Phoebe decided, a slight panic beginning to take over as her time slowly ticked down.

"What do you mean 'back there?' Are you going back?" Andy inquired.

Phoebe nodded without looking over at him. "Yes, I have to find out what happened so I can stop it," she stated, flipping through the pages frantically for the spell she had cast earlier.

"Whatever you do, make sure you get back before your past life gets killed. Otherwise, we may not be able to wake you up," Leo advised.

"Don't worry. Dying is one experience I don't plan on reliving," Phoebe assured him with a faint smile. "Someone should call Paige and fill her in. She'll be pissed otherwise," she added absently.

"I'll talk to her," Piper offered.

Prue bit her lip as Phoebe settled herself comfortably on the couch. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked gently.

"No, but here it goes," Phoebe replied. She took a deep breath and chanted the words.

"Remove the chains of time and space

And make my spirit soar.

Let these mortal arms embrace

The life that haunts before."

Halliwell Manor 1924

Phoebe grinned in satisfaction as her enhanced pyrokinesis caused the crates to smoke and burn. Anton wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her cheek lightly. "It feels good to be bad, doesn't it?" he prompted.

Phoebe slowly turned in his arms to face him. "Sometimes," she whispered.

"Second thoughts?" Anton guessed, seeing it in her eyes just as clearly as hearing it in her voice.

"They're my cousins, Anton," Phoebe answered as if that said everything.

"They're good witches, my love, which is why I gave you this amulet…" Anton's hand reached out to Phoebe's neck where the said necklace was. "It protects you from their witchcraft so they can never harm you," he insisted only to trail off when he noticed her continued hesitance. "Hey, killing them is the only way for me to get their powers and once I have them… together… we will be unstoppable," Anton explained. Phoebe smiled just a little and Anton took that as an invitation to kiss her hard. After a few moments of indulgence, Anton pulled back. "First things first. Are you ready?" he asked, earning a nod in answer. "Good, now remember, wait until after I lure your cousin away from her piano man before you make your move."

"How are you gonna do that?" Phoebe questioned.

Anton smirked at her. "Easy. By posing as her former lover…" he replied. He waved his hand over his face and he shape-shifted into Leo. "… and fighting through her power. Shall we?" he suggested.

Phoebe hesitated another second. "What about Anthony?" she pointed out.

"Hit him first before he has time to react," Anton advised.

Phoebe nodded and smiled up at him. "Let's do this," she agreed.

Piper was content watching Dan play the piano when she glanced over and noticed Anton disguised as Leo. She frowned slightly before approaching him. "What are you doing here?" Piper asked, allowing him to move her into a corner away from prying eyes.

"Just missing you, baby," Anton explained while his hands moved over her body.

Piper grabbed his hands and pulled them off of her. "Stop it. We can't do this anymore. What is the matter with you? This isn't like you," she snapped at him.

"You're right. It's not," Anton agreed. He waved his hand over his face and reverted back to his form. Piper attempted to scream when she realized the trick but Anton threw a hand roughly over her mouth to muffle the sound. He nodded to Phoebe and she made her way through the Manor to Prue.

Prue was just getting a young couple ready for a shot when Andy noticed Phoebe coming toward them. He nudged Prue in the side and nodded silently in Phoebe's direction. "Do you wanna talk now? Upstairs?" Phoebe offered.

Prue exchanged a glance with Andy as if they were having a silent conversation when Piper managed to free herself from Anton. She yelped as she hit the floor and gathered the attention of everyone around her. Phoebe didn't waste a second. While Prue and Andy glanced over at Piper, she threw her hand out and sent a fireball blazing toward the couple. Andy threw his arm out in front of Prue so that the fireball slammed into him, leaving a scorch mark on his jacket but otherwise unharmed. Prue hesitated a split second before she raced toward Piper. The crowd in the Manor suddenly rushed for the door making it significantly harder to continue the fight.

Anton tightened his grip on Piper's throat until Dan came up behind him and hit him over the back with the end of a rake. Anton loosened his grip long enough to punch Dan and send him flying back into the wall where he didn't move. Piper flicked her wrists to freeze Anton but it only seemed to slow him down and he was back on top of her. "Oh, I'm gonna like having that power," he admitted.

Christina ran from the fight and up the stairs where she could see through the breaks in the rails while Andy and Phoebe stared down at each other. Phoebe shot another fireball at him which disappeared before it even hit Andy. His hand glowed faintly and the fireball reappeared behind Phoebe where it shot toward her.

Phoebe spun around in time to see it coming toward her. As it reached her, the necklace absorbed it and she faced the surprised Andy with a cocky grin. "Understand how it feels to be powerless now, Anthony?" she asked.

Andy's answer was to pull his gun out and point it at her. "You don't have to do this," he stated, cocking the gun as a warning.

Prue raced toward Anton and tackled him off Piper. He rolled with the motion despite his surprise and ended up on top of Prue. Piper scrambled to her feet and ran to the grandfather clock. She and Prue exchanged the faintest of nods and Prue threw her hand out at Anton so that ice crystals formed over him and numbed him temporarily. She rolled out from under him just as the grandfather clock (pushed over by Past Piper) collapsed on Anton.

"It's been a pleasure, Anthony," Phoebe offered, effectively denying his offer for her to back down. She held her hand up again but Andy shifted the gun and fired at the chandelier above her. The lights flickered ominously before it crashed down in front of Phoebe, forcing her back several steps. She glared at him and shot another blast of fire at him.

Ice crystals from across the room enveloped the fire long before it reached Andy and Phoebe was forced to turn to Prue. "Now," Prue ordered. Andy rushed Phoebe and grabbed her wrists while Prue pulled out the spell and Piper grabbed a tie off the curtains. Piper moved around Phoebe and wrapped the tie around her throat. Prue knelt down in front of Phoebe and ripped the amulet off her neck and threw it to the ground. "Go check on Gordon," Prue stated to Andy.

Andy waited a second to make sure Piper and Prue had everything under control before heeding her request to check on the unconscious Dan.

"We know that Anton's a warlock," Piper admitted to Phoebe.

"And that he's fallen in love with you," Prue continued.

"And he's turned you evil," Piper added.

Prue fumbled to open the piece of paper. "We can't have you guys join forces. Not in this life. Not in any life," she insisted.

"God forgive us," Piper whispered as she shifted to be able to see the spell.

"Evil witch in my sight

Vanquish thyself

Vanquish thy might

In this and every future life."

The Halliwell Manor

Phoebe shot up off the couch with a gasp of surprise. She was breathing heavily as her gaze landed on two of her sisters whom she instinctively backed away from. She jumped as she backed into Andy and actually punched him in the face as he unintentionally startled her.

"What the hell?" Andy snapped as blood began pouring from his nose.

"Phoebe, what…? Prue started, not sure if she should be angry that her sister had just punched Andy or worried.

Phoebe just glared at them. "You! You were the ones that were trying to kill me!" she accused.

[Commercial Break]

Phoebe hurried up the stairs, ignoring Piper and Leo who were following after her. "Phoebe! Don't be ridiculous. You know we'd never hurt you," Piper called while stomping after her younger sister.

Phoebe spun around to face Piper and Leo. "No? Tell that to Past Phoebe. You cursed her," she returned harshly.

"Phoebe," Piper tried again only for Phoebe to charge into her room.

Leo sighed and grabbed the door before Phoebe could shut it and block them out. "Hey, you know they didn't try to kill you, Phoebe. You know that it was their past selves," Leo argued.

Phoebe hesitated just a moment. "I know. And it was my past self that tried to kill them first," she admitted. She managed to shut the door to her room while Leo and Piper registered what she had said.

"Huh?" Piper asked, looking behind her. Prue and Andy came around the corner (the latter with an ice pack) and by the look on their faces, it was evident they had heard that comment as well. They all moved inside Phoebe's room just as Paige and Jana orbed in next to the door.

"Oh, so you guys got stuck on your little search and now you want me to help?" Paige exclaimed before she was even corporeal. Her arms were crossed and she obviously wasn't very happy with her three sisters. "You know, just because I may not have been a cousin in our past lives or whatever doesn't mean that you can just shove me to the side and call me back whenever you feel like it," she continued. "You're lucky I even showed up because, believe me, I wouldn't have if Jana hadn't insisted."

Jana made a face at being brought to the center of attention and she blushed lightly. "You didn't have to say that," she hissed to Paige.

"Missy Paige, that wasn't our intention," Prue apologized while Paige cast Jana an I-so-did look.

Paige opened her mouth to make some kind of retort but met Prue's sincere gaze. She shut her mouth and reluctantly nodded. "Just don't do it again," she mumbled.

"Hey, look on the bright side, Paige, at least you weren't part of them when they were trying to kill me," Phoebe offered.

"Wait, what?" Paige demanded in confusion before catching sight of Andy who was still trying to fix himself up. "Whoa, that's a good look for you," she joked.

"Ha ha," Andy muttered, throwing a bloody towel in Paige's direction.

Prue glared at him and placed her hands on her hips. "Go pick that up. That is unsanitary," she ordered.

"Uh, Prue," Piper pressed for her eldest sister's attention. She nodded in Phoebe's direction where Phoebe was staring out of her window. Prue sighed softly and brought her attention back to the problem at hand. Piper seemed content with the reaction and slowly approached Phoebe. "Phoebe, whatever happened, you can't blame yourself. It wasn't really you just as it wasn't really us," Piper soothed her gently.

Phoebe glanced over at her family that was gathered around her. "But that's the thing. It was me or at least a part of me that I can relate to… And I don't mean hurting you guys. I can't even imagine that but being in my past life, that powerful, evil feeling, it was… seductive," she admitted. She looked back out the window and played with her hands. "And that's what scares me. I mean, what if that's who I really am."

Paige just looked completely confused as she mouthed a question to Jana who just shrugged in reply. Paige turned to Andy and Leo. The two men made their way to Paige and Jana and started a whispered conversation. Prue, Piper, and Phoebe seemed oblivious to the others. Prue moved to sit down next to Phoebe. "But that's not who you are Phoebe. Not in this life. I mean, you-you've evolved. You've grown. You're good now," Prue assured her.

"I was good then too. Before I… before she turned. Before she fell in love with Anton," Phoebe explained before smirking a little at Piper. "Who, surprise, was a warlock," she stated sarcastically.

"What's another warlock added to the list?" Paige offered sarcastically as if it was perfectly normal.

Phoebe chuckled in agreement. "And that's not the only surprise. Anton could glamour into looking like anyone he wanted to. That's how he lured Past Piper. He glamoured into her former lover," she added.

"Her former lover?" Piper repeated in surprise. "Who was that?" she wondered curiously.

"It was me," Leo admitted.

Piper turned around to face him. "Wha…"

"Or rather, Past me," Leo amended with a shrug of his shoulders.

Paige snorted at Piper's look of surprise. "Didn't see that one coming," she joked but rolled her eyes as Piper still seemed surprised. "Oh come on, Piper, really? Just admit it already," she groaned.

Piper ignored Paige and continued to stare at Leo before glancing at Phoebe. "Him?" Piper demanded for further clarification.

"Yeah," Phoebe answered.

Andy leaned against the wall and allowed the icepack to take residence on the desk next to him. "So is it common for you, Dan, and Piper to have a triangle?" he inquired curiously.

"Forget that," Prue interrupted. "How did you know that?" she asked instead.

"Talk to you later," Leo offered to Andy. He turned back to Prue with a casual shrug. "When you become a whitelighter, they let you see your past lives for perspective," he explained.

"Well, that explains a lot," Paige pointed out.

"I'll say," Phoebe agreed.

Piper just shook her head emphatically. "Hold it. Wait a minute. You knew that we were lovers before and you didn't tell me? What did it just slip your mind?" Piper prompted for an explanation.

"No, I just…" Leo started.

"You just what?" Piper interrupted. "I'm getting a migraine," she exclaimed dramatically.

Leo rolled his eyes and sighed loudly. "Look, Piper, I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to influence you in the present. I wanted you to decide whether or not you wanted me in the life," he insisted.

Piper just turned away from him. "I need an aspirin."

"Hey, can we get back to my problem? Since I only have until midnight to live," Phoebe suggested.

"Right, sorry," Piper agreed but glanced over her shoulder at Leo. "We will talk later," Piper warned him, earning a laugh from Paige.

Prue paced in a circle around the room. "I-I-I understand how Past Phoebe was killed but not why killing her is going to kill you," she admitted to Phoebe.

"Because of the curse," Phoebe explained. "The cousins didn't want to risk Past Phoebe and Anton getting back together in any lifetime. Anton was… is immortal and I guess they thought that he and Phoebe were soul mates."

"So he's probably still around right now?" Paige questioned.

Phoebe just shrugged. "Maybe," she replied uncertainly.

"Let's not get side-tracked again. Back to the plan. How are we going to protect Phoebe?" Andy reminded them.

"The amulet," Phoebe announced suddenly.

Everyone looked at her in confusion. "What amulet?" Prue asked.

"The one that Anton gave Phoebe… I wonder if Christina knows where it is," Phoebe mumbled thoughtfully.

Piper didn't appear convinced. "76 years later? I don't think so," she pointed out.

"We probably have a better chance of looking in the Book of Shadows under Anton and, uh, seeing where he got the amulet in the first place," Prue offered.

"Okay and then Jana and I…" Paige trailed off.

"What?" Andy inquired when she abruptly cut off.

Paige didn't immediately answer as she spun around in a circle. "Where's Jana?" she demanded, only just realizing that her friend was missing. "Did anyone see her leave?"

"She was just here, wasn't she?" Phoebe asked.

Paige shrugged and bit her lip. "I'm gonna go call her and meet you in the attic," she decided before walking out of the room.

Phoebe started to follow her. "Me too. I'm gonna grab something to eat real quick. I'm starving," Phoebe lied easily.

"Okay," Prue and Piper agreed distractedly although they stared after Paige for a moment before actually going up the stairs. Andy stared at Phoebe for a moment and she held her breath in worry that he had seen through her lie. However, after a tense silence, Andy left after Prue.

Leo started to follow too when Phoebe caught his arm. "Leo, wait. I want you to come with me to the retirement home," she admitted softly.

"What about your sisters?" Leo questioned, pointing back toward the stairs.

Phoebe shook her head and looked at him pleadingly. "I don't want them there. If I don't find the amulet, I'm going to die, Leo. And I don't want them to see that," she explained. Leo silently agreed and she grabbed her bag.

The Gwydien Residence

Jana sat at a desk in the back of a small bedroom. All the lights were off except a single lamp next to her that allowed her to continue writing in a small, worn notebook. The only sound was her pen scribbling across the paper and the occasional vibration of her cell phone when Paige called her. After the third call, Jana grabbed her phone and shoved it under the pillow on the nearby bed so she couldn't hear it. She continued writing but was interrupted again as the voice of several guys sounded through the closed door.

"Lay off, Sean," one voice snapped.

"It's not that amusing," a second agreed although he sounded unconcerned.

"You're losing your touch, Ian. Besides, the kid doesn't mind, right Kyle?" Sean prompted.

Kyle opened the door to the room Jana was in but didn't notice her as he was glaring at his two brothers. "Go practice on Dillon," he returned before slamming the door. He jumped in surprise upon finding Jana sitting at the desk. "Jana? What are you doing in my room?" he demanded. Kyle glanced up at the lights. "And with the lights off?"

"Your light blew. You need to change it," Jana answered absently just as Kyle flipped the switch only for nothing to happen. Jana slowly put her pen down and spun the seat back to face her cousin. "I wanted to talk to you and Uncle Ray said I could wait around for you," she explained to his first question.

Kyle didn't appear too surprised after the initial reaction. He allowed his book bag to slip off his shoulder where it hit the ground with a thud. "Okay, so what's up?" he asked.

Jana met his gaze with a look of concern. "Why did you go back to the Halliwell's? When they wanted you to vanquish Tuatha and you left… why would you go back?" Jana inquired seriously.

"Because they taught me that you can't run from your destiny," Kyle replied while regarding Jana with a curious expression.

"Did it ever occur to you that you might not make it out alive?" Jana questioned.

Kyle was silent as he thought back to that one day where he had been more than just an ordinary guy. He had been the Chosen One. "Yeah, I mean, I know I was denying it before but there was that one moment when Tuatha got the wand and the Halliwell's had been stopped… That one moment, I thought we were going to die," he admitted.

Jana fiddled with her necklace… the very necklace that the Halliwell's were now searching for. "What if you knew you had to die? Would you have gone back?"

"What's meant to be will happen one way or another. You can't change it," Kyle answered instead. He shrugged to her actual question. "I can't say, Jana," he added apologetically.

Jana just nodded and offered him a small smile. "Thanks, Kyle," she appreciated.

"You're welcome although I'm not really sure what I helped you with," Kyle allowed but he looked pleased all the same.

"You're the best. One day your brothers will see it too," Jana whispered. "Don't let them get to you," she advised while grabbing her notebook off the desk and moving to grab her cell phone. She said a quick farewell to Kyle and hurried out of the house before anyone could stop her. Just outside, she leaned against the wall around the back and slid to the ground. Jana pulled her knees up against her chest and pulled her cell back out.

The Halliwell Manor

"If Anton is still around and truly in love with Phoebe, he's going to be looking for her," Piper pointed out as she followed Prue into the attic with Andy close behind.

"Yeah, I know but right now that is the least of our problems," Prue argued lightly while she flipped the Book of Shadows open.

Andy didn't appear convinced and reached out to stop Prue from flipping through the pages. "Is it?" he asked seriously.

"Yeah, I mean, we have to find something to save Phoebe…" Prue started but trailed off as Andy continued to stare at her. "Okay, what?" she prompted.

Andy's gaze flickered over to the attic window. "If he loves her, wouldn't he be trying to save her too?" he inquired.

"I'm not going to trust a warlock to save our sister," Piper countered.

Prue, however, seemed to catch on to what Andy was hinting. "You think he thought about the amulet too?"

Andy nodded ever so slightly. "And if he didn't know where it was either…."

"… he tried to go to someone who would remember where it went," Prue finished.

"… So Dan? Or rather he cast a spell or something to allow Gordon Johnson control over Dan so he could question him about the amulet," Piper concluded with a glance at Prue and Andy.

They both nodded in silent agreement. "The problem remains that no one seems to know where the amulet went and we don't even know what it looks like," Prue reminded them.

"Yeah, well, at least we cleared up something," Piper replied although she seemed rather dejected that the revelation really told them nothing.

"Did you find something?" Paige inquired hopefully as she walked into the attic in time to catch Piper's comment.

"Nothing to help Phoebe," Andy admitted.

Paige's face fell and Prue offered her a soothing smile. "We will though," she promised, starting to flip back through the Book of Shadows. "Did you get in touch with Jana?" Prue asked to switch the topic of conversation.

"No, she ignored my calls. Something weird is going on," Paige sighed. She began to twirl a lock of her hair around her finger.

"Something weird is always going on," Piper pointed out before she suddenly frowned as something came to her attention. "Hey, where's Leo?" she questioned.

The three sisters and Andy exchanged a quick glance but any conversation was interrupted by the front door opening and closing. "Paige?" Jana's voice cut through the silent house.

~PO4~

Paige hurried down the steps to meet Jana and left everyone else in the attic. "Jana! Why'd you leave?" Paige demanded as she stepped down from the last steps.

"I… I have something for you," Jana admitted. She slowly reached up to her neck and undid the amulet.

"Your necklace?" Paige asked in confusion, apparently not putting the pieces together.

Jana made a face at Paige and her hand tightened on the amulet. "It's the amulet. The one you're looking for," she explained.

"Why would you have the amulet?" Paige inquired, her eyes narrowing slightly in suspicion.

Jana made no move to answer and instead played nervously with the necklace. "Just give it to Phoebe, okay?" she pressed. "It'll protect her. Just like you guys thought," Jana insisted.

Paige stared at Jana as if trying to search out the answers to her questions. Eventually, she sighed and held her hand out to receive it. "You'll tell me later? When everything's okay again?" Paige bargained.

"Yeah, I'll tell you everything," Jana agreed. She took a deep breath to steady herself before she ever-so-slowly held the amulet out to Paige.

"Touching, very touching. However, I must insist that you reconsider who you give that to," Anton interrupted before Jana could actually give the amulet to Paige.

Paige and Jana spun around to face the unnoticed imposter. "Let me guess, Anton?" Paige offered with narrowed eyes at the warlock.

Anton appeared not to notice Paige (or else he just ignored her) and advanced forward several steps. "Come now, sweetheart. Pass the amulet and no one gets hurt," he suggested in a rather amused voice.

Jana just glared at him and shoved the necklace in Paige's hands. "Go," she hissed, lightly shoving Paige.

Paige started to orb both her and Jana out when Anton held his hand out and sent a strong gust of wind at them. The wind caught the orbs midflight and both Paige and Jana were sent tumbling across the room. Paige slid to a rough stop along the floor while Jana actually slid into the wall, unfortunately nearer Anton.

Anton strolled over to Jana as the two witches attempted to shake the stars out their eyes. He pointed a gun at her and cocked it with a soft snap. Paige jerked to attention. "No, wait!" she called, shoving herself unceremoniously to her feet. "You can have it," Paige allowed. "Just leave her alone." Anton just raised his eyebrows, waiting for Paige to make the next move. She bit her lip slightly before tossing the amulet along the floor where it slid to a stop a foot or so away from Anton.

He smirked and left Jana to grab up the necklace. "Pleasure," he offered with a faint nod to Paige before he disappeared in a flash.

Paige rushed toward Jana and helped her into a sitting position. "You shouldn't have done that," Jana groaned.

Paige just glared at her for even suggesting that she should let her friend be shot over a necklace. "Prue, Piper, Andy!" Paige yelled followed by the sound of them coming down the stairs.

The Retirement Home

Christina was sitting in her wheelchair and facing the window when Phoebe and Leo walked inside. "Christina? Hi, it's Phoebe. I'm sorry to bother you again but I need your help with something. It's really important," Phoebe admitted. She knelt down next to Christina and continued despite the fact that Christina showed no sign of having heard her. "I need you to try to remember back to that day the evil witch died and the pretty necklace was torn off her neck. Do you remember that?" she asked gently.

Christina didn't respond and Phoebe glanced helplessly back at Leo. "Christina, I… I know this is difficult but please try. Phoebe's life depends on it," Leo attempted.

"Do you remember what happened to the necklace, Christina?" Phoebe questioned again.

Christina turned in her wheelchair to face the two guests. "I was up on the landing, watching the whole scary thing," she explained.

"And the necklace?" Phoebe pressed hopefully.

"It-It-It just slid across the floor and into the foyer," Christina replied, waving her hand for emphasis.

Phoebe couldn't hold back the sigh of defeat and she stood back up from beside the wheelchair. Leo did the same although he appeared more angry. "Damn it. We're never going to find it this way," he stated.

Phoebe paused in her pacing at Leo's words. "Maybe or maybe not," she whispered as she suddenly had an idea. "Leo, do you think I can write a spell that can not only send me back but give me complete control over my actions as well?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't know. Why?" Leo returned suspiciously.

"Because if I can, I could go back to the past and find the amulet and hide it someplace safe so I know where to find it when I come back to the present," Phoebe explained in a more enthusiastic voice.

Leo didn't look as enthusiastic about the plan. "The only way for you to do that would be to switch life forces with Past Phoebe…" he started and continued when Phoebe stared at him in confusion. "In other words, you would be in 1924 and evil Phoebe would be right here in your body," Leo elaborated.

"But just long enough for me to find the amulet and switch back," Phoebe insisted.

"Yeah, but if something goes wrong, we risk unleashing a powerful witch in the present and losing you in the past," Leo argued.

"But if we don't do anything, Leo, we're going to lose me anyways," Phoebe pointed out. Leo didn't have an argument for that and Phoebe knew she had won. "I have to find the amulet. It's my only hope," she repeated. Her gaze flickered over the room and landed on a notepad and pen which she walked over to and began to think up a spell.

Leo watched her silently for a moment. "You do realize that you won't look any different to them? They'll still think you're evil Phoebe and try to kill you," he reminded her.

Phoebe sighed softly and stopped writing to look at Leo. "Leo, don't worry so much. You're mortal now. You'll get wrinkles," she replied, touching his face with her hand. Leo smiled a little at the joke and Phoebe returned it before making herself comfortable on Christina's bed.

"In this time and in this place

Take this spirit I displace.

Bring it forth while I go back

To inhabit a soul so black."

Leo watched as Phoebe fell unconscious on the bed and she flashed a faint purple.

Halliwell Manor- 1924

Prue and Piper had Past Phoebe in a chokehold while Phoebe struggled against them. "I'll… kill… you," Past Phoebe managed to get out just before she flashed purple and the present Phoebe took control. "No, uh, wait, it's not… I'm not…" Phoebe tried but found it extremely difficult to get any words out. However, she was able to bring her foot up and kick Prue away from her and pull Piper over her shoulder, freeing herself. Phoebe flipped back to her feet much to the surprise of Prue and Piper.

"Where did she learn that?" Piper asked.

Prue just shook her head. "I don't know."

Phoebe didn't wait for them to get over the shock. She took off for the foyer, searching the ground frantically for the necklace. "Okay, the amulet. Where is the amulet?" she mumbled to herself.

"Why is she running from us? Why isn't she just using her power?" Prue questioned suspiciously.

"She's probably trying to lure us into another trap," Piper decided which Prue quickly agreed with.

Phoebe made sure to put the wall to the foyer between her and the cousins as a safeguard. She was about to search another room when her gaze landed on the discarded amulet. Phoebe ran toward it only for a flash of blue to catch her eye. She was stunned to see that not two feet from her, a time portal opened. She was knocked back by a force and when the portal faded away, Phoebe's jaw dropped to see Paige standing in front of her. "Paige! Oh, thank god, I need your help," Phoebe called. Paige barely offered Phoebe a glance before she telekinetically pulled the amulet into her hand. Phoebe narrowed her eyes at the standard telekinesis that Paige wasn't supposed to have. She then noticed the medieval attire and Paige's hair was much longer than in the present. "Oh," Phoebe realized.

"Told you it was a trap," Piper's voice had Phoebe spinning around again to find Piper and Prue at the other end of the foyer. Their eyes rested on Paige.

"No surprise there," Prue agreed. "Leave now," she ordered in a louder voice to Paige.

Paige flipped her green cloak out behind her as she faced Prue and Piper. "One thing you should know about the Enchantress… Nobody tells me what to do," she warned. Paige raised her hand and a bolt of lightning shot toward Prue and Piper.

The Retirement Home

Leo leaned over Phoebe when she didn't move. "Phoebe, are you alright?" he asked. "Are you there?" he whispered.

Christina suddenly let out a terrified scream which caused Leo to turn around. As soon as he had, Anton threw him into the bathroom door which shattered with the force. He ignored the whimpering elder woman and proceeded to Phoebe's side. "If you were the only girl in the world and I the only boy…" he sang softly as he placed the amulet around her neck. He kissed the top of her head and smiled. "Wake up, my sweet," he called.

Past Phoebe opened her eyes and looked around her. She narrowed her eyes and turned to Anton for answers. "Anton, what's going on?" she questioned.

Anton pulled her carefully to her feet. "It's okay," he promised her.

"Where am I?" Past Phoebe pressed.

"You've been reincarnated. Reborn… to me," Anton replied and a smile crossed Past Phoebe's face just before he pulled her into a hard kiss.

The Halliwell Manor- 1924

Piper flicked her wrist so that the lightning slowed down enough for both her and Prue to side-step it. It crashed into the front door and knocked it off its hinges while simultaneously shattering the glass. Prue returned the attack by blowing on her hand and sending ice crystals straight back at Paige.

The Enchantress waved her hand lazily and a puff of fire extinquished Prue's ice. She smirked at the attempt. "Is that all?" she inquired with a short cackle that had Phoebe crawling away from the fight. The Enchantress held her hand out at Prue who's knees gave out as a sudden weariness grew over her.

Phoebe's eyes widened and she shoved Paige to the side in order to make it stop. "Alright, I know this is going to sound a little weird but I'm a me from another lifetime. One where we've evolved into sisters. All four of us. We're good sisters… happy sisters," Phoebe tried.

"Be quiet," The Enchantress shouted at the same time as Piper. Piper looked surprised at herself but the Enchantress paid it no mind. She waved her hand again and Phoebe was thrown back by a blast of wind and landed heavily on the floor. Prue was just starting to recover when the Enchantress once again turned her attention on her. "Stop fighting. Just give it to me!" the Enchantress ground out through bared teeth. After several tense seconds a white light flew from Prue and landed in the Enchantress' hand. Prue was immediately free from the Enchantress' hold and tried to counter with another blast of ice. She blew on her hand as before but nothing happened. "Which of your powers next?" the Enchantress asked, her gaze landed on Piper and Phoebe.

Piper dropped to the floor only a second later but Andy came up behind the Enchantress. A fireball flew directly at the Enchantress who was only able to move out of the way just in time. It effectively freed Piper but Paige focused on Andy. "You next then," she stated. Nothing happened to Andy but the Enchantress found the power absorption used against her. She struggled to keep herself upright and threw her hands out to either side of her in a rather desperate attempt to regain control. Wind shoved Prue, Piper, and Andy in various directions while Phoebe was braced harder against the wall where she shielded herself from shattered glass.

"Screw this," Phoebe whispered to herself while shutting her eyes tight. "In this time and in this place, take this spirit I displace. Bring me forth while she goes back to her soul so black," Phoebe chanted under her breath. Her eyes flashed open in horror as she realized her spell hadn't worked. "Oh, no…"

The Retirement Home

Piper, Paige, and Andy were standing to the side next to Leo who was gingerly rubbing his jaw while Prue took Christina a glass of water. Christina was now comfortably resting in her bed.

"Here you go. Try taking a little sip," Prue offered, carefully giving her the glass.

Christina smiled gratefully up at Prue. "Oh, thank you, my dear," she appreciated and Prue smiled in return.

Paige nudged Piper with her elbow. "Did you get in touch with a nurse?" Paige inquired.

"Yeah," Piper answered and then raised her voice. "The nurse will be right in. Is she okay?"

Prue gave her a slight nod of assurance while Leo replied. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Thanks for asking," he stated sarcastically.

Piper cast him a glare. "You're not getting any sympathy out of me. You never should have let Phoebe cast that spell," she snapped.

"Not to mention sneaking out of the house with her," Andy added although he didn't appear all that angry at Leo. "Are we sure Evil Phoebe is the one here?" he asked after receiving a glare from Leo.

"Unfortunately," Leo answered.

"With the amulet?" Andy prompted and Leo nodded. "Perfect," he sighed.

Paige looked guiltily down at her hands. "I'm sorry about the amulet," she apologized for the umpteenth time.

"No, Jana didn't deserve to be shot over it. We can fix it," Andy argued gently.

Leo tilted his head to the side in confusion. "Jana? What happened?" he demanded.

"Well, if you were around then you would know," Piper countered irritably. "What's important now is that she's safely at home and will be remaining there until Paige gives her the all-clear when this is over," Piper continued.

Prue forced her attention away from the conversation her family was having and back on Christina. "Ms. Larson, can I get you anything else?" she offered.

"Some Jell-O would be nice," Christina suggested.

Prue blinked in surprise at the request but smiled nonetheless. "Some Jell-O… okay, I'll see what I can do. Would you excuse me for a second?" she asked before leaving Christina to stand next to Piper. "I don't think she has any idea what happened," Prue admitted.

"Well, that makes two of us. How the hell did Anton find out that Jana had the amulet? And why did she have it in the first place?" Piper questioned.

"Who cares about that? We need to get our Phoebe back and fast. The problem is she's the only one that can say the spell," Prue pointed out before turning to Andy. "Uh, baby, can you maybe… find some Jell-O?" she asked hopefully with a nod to Christina.

Andy smirked a little and nodded. "I'll find a nurse," he agreed. "Don't forget that Evil Phoebe has the amulet now too," he reminded them and then proceeded to track down some Jell-O.

"Which means that she's protected and Phoebe probably can't come back," Paige followed Andy's train of thought.

"We've got to get the amulet off her," Prue decided.

"Yeah, but only long enough for our Phoebe to switch lives. She has to be wearing the amulet in the present to protect her from her past life's curse," Leo added.

Prue appeared slightly overwhelmed by the specific issues. "Okay, bottom line, get evil Phoebe, get the amulet. Any questions? Good. Let's hurry."

"Hurry where?" Leo questioned.

Prue turned back to find Paige and Leo looking confused although Piper was nodding to Prue's thoughts. "Back to the Manor. If Anton and Evil Phoebe reunited then I have a feeling they're going to want to pick up right where they left off," Prue explained.

"Killing us," Piper finished.

The Halliwell Manor- 1924

The Enchantress grinned in satisfaction as no one moved against her. Andy only moved to put himself between the evil witches and Prue just in case they attacked. The Enchantress spun on her heel, her cloaking whipping around behind her, and marched into the empty bar.

Phoebe desperately chanted the spell again only for it to fail. She scrambled to her feet and took off after Paige. "Wait! I need the amulet, please, to save my life. Paige, we're sisters, you have to believe me," Phoebe insisted.

The Enchantress used a finger to trace a pentagram on one of the more open walls. She slipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out a small vial which she prepared to throw. Phoebe grabbed hold of her arm at the last moment. The Enchantress looked back at her. Paige's chocolate brown eyes stared back at Phoebe's lighter ones except the eyes were really the Enchantress'… cold as ice. "You are not my concern," the Enchantress stated. Phoebe gasped and dropped to her knees. When she reopened her eyes she saw the Enchantress with two small balls of white light and the amulet. The Enchantress threw the vial at the faint outline of the pentagram and it erupted into a portal. She stepped through and it closed behind her.

"You can't trust evil," Prue stated and Phoebe turned around only to have Prue roughly clasp her hands behind her back and Piper to throw the tie around Phoebe's neck. Andy readied his gun, pointing it at her head.

The Halliwell Manor

Piper, Prue, Paige, Leo, and Andy walked cautiously through the front door. Piper looked around the immediate area but nothing seemed out of place. "Maybe they're not here," she suggested hopefully.

"Oh, they're here, somewhere," Prue argued, her eyes scouring the rooms for any sign of the witch and warlock.

Andy reached out and stopped them from going any further. "Solarium," he answered to their look of confusion.

"I say, I orb us three in and you two can come in as back up. You know, surprise them," Paige offered with a look at the two men.

A flash of fear crossed Andy's face although Piper looked relieved that Leo would be out of the fight. "I don't…" Andy started.

Prue took hold of his hand and he trailed off. "We'll be okay, I promise," she assured him while allowing his hand to rest lightly on her stomach for a second. He reluctantly nodded and Prue, Piper, and Paige joined hands before orbing into the solarium in front of Anton and Phoebe.

"Didn't I tell you that they would come," Anton pointed out. He stroked Past Phoebe's hand while she rested comfortably in a chair.

"Hello, cousins, or is it sisters now?" Past Phoebe taunted to Prue and Piper.

"Listen, Phoebe…" Paige began.

Past Phoebe turned her gaze on Paige and immediately turned red in barely contained fury. "How dare you talk to me," Past Phoebe snapped. She jumped to her feet still glaring at Paige. "You're worse than they are. You left me to die," she accused.

Paige's eyes widened and she looked at Prue and Piper. Prue just frowned at the way Past Phoebe was looking at Paige and flicked her wrist to send a telekinetic push at the intruders. The amulet glowed red as it absorbed the power. Prue had to refrain from stomping her foot. Have to get rid of the amulet…

Piper gave the faintest of nods. It's protecting both of them. Let's separate them.

Paige stared doubtfully at Past Phoebe as she advanced forward with Anton. Ideas?

"It's your turn to die this time," Past Phoebe warned with an eager grin on her face. A ball of fire erupted from her hand and Piper barely got her hands up in time to freeze it.

Prue and Paige dropped down behind the couch and Prue pulled Piper down next to her. "Okay, I've got an idea. Paige, call for the amulet," she ordered.

"It defends against magic. How's that going to help?" Paige returned in disbelief.

"The amulet protects the wearer… not necessarily, itself," Prue suggested although she didn't sound particularly confidant.

"Just do it, Paige," Piper hissed at the same time as the fireball unfroze and scorched the wall just in front of them.

~1924~

Phoebe stared down the barrel of the gun as Andy shifted into a position that would not hit Prue or Piper. "In this time and in this place…" she whispered.

~Present~

Prue glanced around the couch where she met Andy's eyes. She mouthed and flicked her wrist in an attempt to explain the plan. Andy seemed to understand the main idea and nodded before hurriedly explaining the plan to Leo.

Piper popped up from behind the couch to face Past Phoebe and Anton. "Hey, how's it going?" she questioned.

"Behind ya," Leo called, stepping out from around the corner.

Past Phoebe and Anton turned to him only for Past Phoebe to realize the trick. She spun around just as Prue and Paige stood up from behind the couch.

"Amulet!" Paige called, holding her hand out. The amulet was surrounded by orbs and appeared in Paige's hand.

Past Phoebe let out a growl of defiance and shot another blast of fire at Paige. Prue held her hand up in a form of a block and the fire deviated straight into Anton. He yelled as he was engulfed in the flames and disappeared. Past Phoebe stared at the spot in a stunned silence before turning hate-filled eyes on Prue. Andy stepped out from the corner and threw his hand out, using Prue's telekinesis to disrupt her attempt at revenge. Piper ran up and hit Past Phoebe over the head to make sure she was knocked out.

"Sorry, Pheebs," Piper apologized.

"Now what?" Paige inquired, her eyes on Phoebe's body.

Leo motioned for her to come close. "As soon as she moves, find out which Phoebe it is and be ready to put the amulet back on," Leo ordered.

~1924~

"While she goes back to her soul so black…" Phoebe managed to finish despite the increasing lack of oxygen. She flashed a faint purple and a couple seconds later, Andy pulled the trigger.

~Present~

Phoebe jolted up, gasping for breath and her eyes wide with fear. "Paige, Prue, Piper…" she whispered.

"Okay, it's her. Put it back on fast," Piper panicked, pointing frantically down at Phoebe.

Paige hurried to do as she was told and they all sighed in relief as the amulet began to glow. The glow faded away and Phoebe was clearly left unharmed. Paige grinned and threw her arms around Phoebe's neck.

Phoebe laughed softly and let her hand comb through Paige's hair much as Prue usually did. "Thank you guys for saving my life. All of them," she appreciated to each of her sisters. She offered a smile to Andy and Leo who returned it while Prue and Piper tried to move Paige so they could get to hug Phoebe.

~PO4~

The next morning found Piper showing Leo to the front door. Leo ran a hand through his hair before facing her. "So I, uh, hope you're not still upset with me. You know, for not telling you about our past lives together," he explained hesitantly.

Piper narrowed her eyes in a playful glare which allowed Leo to relax a little. "I'm not letting you off the hook for that just yet. I'm still not quite sure what it even means," she admitted and was followed by a thoughtful silence.

"Well, I'd like to think it means that we're destined to be together," Leo replied, watching her closely for a reaction.

Piper just rolled her and pushed him lightly to the door. "You know what, Leo? I've learned that you have to live in the present. Go from there," Piper countered although a small smile pulled at her features.

Leo turned back before she could successfully open the door. "Would that be a 'we'll see?'" Leo teased.

"Yes, we'll see," Piper repeated so that a grin spread across Leo's face. She pulled the door open and Leo's face immediately fell upon finding Dan on the threshold.

"Leo? What are you doing here?" Dan questioned suspiciously.

"Leo was just leaving," Piper stated off-handedly. She smiled at him and nodded it was okay for him to leave. "Bye."

Leo forced a smile and a wave. "Okay, see you at work," he agreed before slipping out the door.

"Can I help you, Dan?" Piper asked politely.

Dan frowned and glanced over his shoulder to make sure Leo was gone. "Just hear me out," Dan replied, falling silent to wait to see if she would agree or not. Piper gave him a faint nod that she was listening. "I don't want you to feel as if I'm jealous because that's not what this is. I know in my gut that something's not right with him," Dan insisted.

"Are you talking about Leo?" Piper inquired.

"If Leo is his real name. You know, I had my brother-in-law who works for the state department check out his army records. But the only Leo Wyatt they came up with died almost sixty years ago in World War II," Dan explained.

Piper suddenly remembered her conversation with Andy the day before. "Well, there must be some kind of mistake," she argued.

Dan shook his head in disbelief that she would ignore what he had just said. "Piper, there is no record of him anywhere. Nothing. It's almost as if he didn't have any past at all," Dan yelled. He turned away and took a moment to calm himself down. "Look, I'm sorry, okay, but I don't want to see you get hurt. Even if we're not…" he trailed off.

"I appreciate the concern, Dan, but I would trust Leo with my life," Piper assured him.

Dan just nodded, realizing there wasn't anything he could say to change her mind. "Okay," he allowed before turning back to the front door.

Piper took a step after him. "Hey, Dan?" she called. Dan paused but didn't look back at her. "Was yesterday… okay for you?"

"Just work. Why?" Dan replied suspiciously.

Piper looked thoughtful before she just shrugged. "No reason. Bye, Dan." Dan waved half-heartedly and walked out the door. "Well, he seems normal and oblivious to anything unusual yesterday," Piper offered just as Andy came out from around the corner.

"We heard yelling. You fine?" Andy questioned.

"Yeah, he was just upset," Piper answered. "Is there anything you can do about putting Leo's army records under protection or something?" she suggested hopefully.

Andy nodded slightly. "I can call in a favor but not sure how it'll hold up against a state official," he admitted. Piper's face fell a little and he gave her a quick hug. "I'll see what we can come up with it," he promised.

"Thanks," Piper appreciated. Andy smiled and proceeded out the door to go to work.

~PO4~

Phoebe was sitting on her bed with Paige splayed across next to her when Prue walked in to check on them. "Hey, what are you guys doing?" Prue asked as she noticed her two youngest sisters over the Book of Shadows.

"I'm just writing a little warning in the Book of Shadows about Anton," Phoebe explained.

Paige rolled over to make room for Prue on the bed. "And enlightening me on my past life who apparently made a surprise appearance… and was kinda mean from the sound of it," she added.

Prue took the offered spot on the bed next to Paige. "You know, it's not just you. Or both of you… I mean, we all have a little bad in us. It's just that when you turn bad things tend to catch on fire," she pointed out.

Phoebe laughed a little. "And this is supposed to make me feel better?" Phoebe asked.

"What I mean is that it's just as natural to be bad as it is to be good. That's how we know what good is. That's how we're able to make the choice to be good. Remember, Anton wouldn't have needed evil Past Phoebe if you hadn't evolved into good Phoebe," Prue elaborated.

"Wow, that's deep, Prue," Paige joked and Prue lightly shoved Paige's shoulder in response.

Phoebe smiled at the exchange. "Still, it's okay to be bad every once in awhile isn't it?"

"Oh, yeah," Prue agreed. "A lot," she laughed.

Paige shifted so that she was next to Prue's stomach. "Hey, Bree, don't listen to your Mommy. She's crazy," Paige warned in a baby voice.

Phoebe stopped flipping through the pages of the Book of Shadows and stared at one in particular. "Mmm… meet you past life, Paige," she interrupted.

Prue and Paige immediately turned their attention on the book. "The Evil Enchantress," Paige read. "Sounds promising," she admitted.

"Powerful," Prue remarked as she read a list of the powers.

"She was. Took out everyone," Phoebe stated.

Paige looked a little guilty but also a little intrigued. "I did?" Phoebe nodded and Paige appeared thoughtful. "It's a shame really. I wouldn't mind having your fire power back. It nearly set the wall on fire," she sighed.

Phoebe's smile fell and Prue was quick to notice. "What?" she pressed.

"What do you mean it nearly set the wall on fire? Did you see it?" Phoebe demanded, her face paling visibly.

"Yeah, Past Phoebe tried to fry us," Paige answered.

"Pheebs, what is it?" Prue inquired when Phoebe didn't immediately respond.

Phoebe dropped her head into her hands. "Our powers must have switched with us," she realized.

"So…" Paige prompted, exchanging a worried glance with Prue.

Phoebe slowly raised her head to meet her sisters' gazes. "The Enchantress took my power."

The Gwydien Residence

Jana was seated on her bed much as the Charmed Ones were with a journal in her hands that she was scribbling in as fast as humanly possible. She shut her eyes tight and when she opened them, kept them trained on the journal. "You could have waited a bit longer," Jana stated before forcing her eyes up to find Tempus at the other end of her room.

The elder demon chuckled and advanced toward her. "That amulet hid you longer than necessary. It's past time, Janiah," he retorted casually.

"It's Jana here," Jana snapped, her green eyes flashed defiantly and Tempus raised his eyebrows. "It's more modern," she explained sheepishly.

Tempus didn't appear amused and reached over to jerk Jana's journal out of her hands. "Trying to record the past that's long been forgotten?" he guessed as he scanned over the first page.

"You remember," Jana countered.

"Because I am timeless. No one here will believe this," Tempus replied before tossing the journal across the room.

Jana jumped off the bed and stomped over to retrieve the book. "Regardless, I will write it," she insisted. She slowly ran her hand over the cover of her journal. "They need to be ready," Jana whispered.

Tempus held his hand out for Jana to take. "Preparations must be made and time is ticking," he reminded her.

Jana bit her lip and looked around her room a last time. Her cell phone lit up faintly and 'Paige' flashed across the screen as she received the call. Slowly, Jana turned her back on it and accepted Tempus' hand. Flames erupted around the two and they were gone.

12th Century Europe

The Enchantress stepped out of the time portal into the middle of a castle's keep. The keep bustled with life as the people inside hurried through war time preparations. The Enchantress walked by them with a purpose and as she passed, many dropped to their knees in respect. One cloaked individual broke from the crowd and joined her walk. "Get everyone to the assembly room," the Enchantress ordered.

"And stop preparations?" the female voice responded.

"If we're not prepared now, a few minutes is not going to make a difference," the Enchantress replied.

"As you wish," she agreed. The cloaked woman began to turn away to follow her orders.

The Enchantress paused in her walking. "Janiah?" she called.

"Milady?" the voice returned. The hood of the cloak fell back to reveal Jana as she turned back to face the Enchantress.

"When the ceremony is over, do not leave my side," the Enchantress commanded.

Jana smiled, gave the Enchantress a slight bow, and proceeded to herd everyone into the large assembly room as she was ordered.

~PO4~

The Enchantress threw the door open with a blast of telekinesis and scanned over the large crowd. Demons, witches, warlocks, expellers, even darklighters and whitelighters were spread across the room, mixed with each other. Many sported wounds of various kinds and all were grim-faced as the Enchantress strolled confidently through the little space that was left to get to the front. She stopped next to Jana, who was the Enchantress' second in command and Tempus, another important ally. Each nodded to her before she slipped by them to a large pool of light. The light emitted was foggy… dark in places, bright in others and it swirled in a continuous circle around the pool.

The Enchantress held her hand out and the two balls of white light she had acquired earlier floated into the pool. It joined the myriad of other lights. Each light began to swirl faster and faster around the pool until it was just a continuous blur and finally it erupted with a loud crash that echoed through the eerily silent hall. The light died but a smirk crossed the Enchantress' face.

"The time is now," the Enchantress whispered but her voice seemed to carry across the room as more than one cheer sounded. She turned to face the eager crowd. "Our message has been heard. Arm yourself. Tonight we fight knowing we will succeed," she called to the crowd.

Renewed hope was seen on every face. From the most powerful demon to the few mortals who had joined the cause. However, it was too early to celebrate and their Enchantress, their leader, their queen had given them an order. They rushed to arm themselves, to join their groups where their talents could be most useful while Tempus oversaw them.

The Enchantress spun on her heel and disappeared into the adjoining room without anyone, save Jana noticing. Jana followed her silently as she had been previously instructed. She watched as the Enchantress paced nervously. "It did not work," Jana observed after a moment.

"It did," the Enchantress replied.

"Then all we have to do is stay alive until they come," Jana pointed out.

The Enchantress shook her head. "They will not come in time. There was not enough power," she admitted.

"But they will come?" Jana pressed.

The Enchantress stopped pacing and faced Jana. "Eventually," she agreed. "I need a favor, Janiah," the Enchantress whispered, suddenly appearing vulnerable as only Jana had ever seen. At least in a very long time.

Jana laughed softly to lighten the dour mood. "That is my purpose," she answered.

The Enchantress rolled her eyes good-naturedly but she quickly sobered. She reached into her cloak and pulled out the amulet which she held out to Jana. "I need you to find them and protect them until they are ready," the Enchantress explained.

"As you wish but what do you have in mind?" Jana questioned. She took the amulet and stared down at it suspiciously.

"It's a protection amulet. You're going through time. Everything will be ready when you arrive to your new family. They will believe you are one of them," the Enchantress continued before returning to pacing. "Things will be different and some will move to stop you but the amulet should protect you as long as your wear it," she added.

Jana slowly closed the necklace around her neck. "What will you have me do?"

The Enchantress sighed softly, barely audible even to Jana. "I do not know. I trust you to decide the best course of action," she replied. Jana nodded that she understood but the Enchantress spoke before she could reply. "The only order I have is that you come back here when you have finished. I want you to keep yourself alive."

"Likewise, milady," Jana offered.

The Enchantress nodded, apparently satisfied. "Close your eyes," she instructed and Jana did as she was told. The Enchantress held her hand out. Jana felt a tug in her stomach and an uncomfortable sensation of spinning out of control and then nothing at all.

A/N: The next episode is going to explore The Enchantress and Janiah more and shed some light on their purpose in my fic. I know people probably wanted more Paige in this one but I hope to make up for it with the Enchantress side plot thing.
