-Phoebe-
Melinda and I are in my room,we are both trying on fancy dresses,I'm showing off a little trying to come off like my sisters and I are wealthy people,come on,she's our eldest ancestor,you'd want to impress her!.
I have a dress for Melinda in my hand and I unzip the zipper for the blue dress I have for picked for her to wear.
Melinda gasps "don't rip the dress to make it fit me" she protests and I have to laugh."Oh,no,no its called a zipper,see?" I zip up the tiny metal 's face lights up in fascination,"a wise Witch made this" she claims and I snort.
" Yeah, and wise witches in this century keep a low profile. You slip this dress on, you'll blend right in." I advise her and she starts playing with the zipper and feels the fabric.c
"You and you're sisters are very young,how many years have you reached?" It takes me a second to know what she's saying.
"Oh,ah I'm seventeen and eighteen in two weeks,Pipers twenty two,Prue's twenty three and Paige is twenty five" she puts the dress over her body and I zip it up.
"Oh! So did it, did it take you long to make the dress?" She asks me with her innocent blue eyes and I feel a motherly type aura from around her and its comforting for someone other than my older sisters to give me that feeling.
" Make it? No, no, I bought it." I say with a slight laugh inserted into my sentence and Melinda's looks at me odly.
"Oh, you must be rich!" She says and before I can tell her otherwise my sisters walk in "oh no,just a good credit card" Prues smirk forms and I give her a playful glare as Piper sits on the edge of my bed and stares at Melinda."Oh,wow,Melinda you look great" Piper complents her and Melinda curtseys and we all laugh.
"Thank you. Oh, but how do you keep your legs warm?" Melinda asks feeling her bare legs "we drink Coffee" Paige answers and Piper,Prue and I all laugh at the eldests strange reply.
Leo then suddenly approaches my doorway and he looks embarrassed "Oh, sorry, I let myself in and it didn't occur to me" he apologies and we all look at Piper with a smug smile,well except for Melinda.
"Leo, uh, it's okay. This is, uh..." I realize she doesn't have a fake I.D made up in her mind yet so I cut in "our cousin Melinda" I quickly insert and Piper gives me a glance and I know it means 'thanks'.
"Nice to meet you" he says smiling at our 'cousin' "Leos fixing our plumbing" Paige tells Melinda and she looks confused "what's that?" I look at Leo,Hoping he didn't notice too much on our slip up."Uh,we've got to go now" Paige says and grabs Melinda's arm.
Melinda looks at Leo "To work with one's hands is a great gift." I have no idea what that means but Leo seems to like it and he goes on "Well, I am a true labourer. I earn that I eat, get that I wear" my sisters and I look at Leo and Melinda with queir looks and we all look at each other with wide eyes.
"Owe no man hate, envy no man's happiness" Melinda says with a large smile.
"Shakespeare" Leo and Melinda say at the . know if Melinda wasn't our so many greats grandmother from the past I bet Piper would have been jealous.
Melinda giggles "well,wasn't that fun,let's go" Prue says and we all follow her out but Piper and I stop at Melinda's next words."He is a treasure Piper" she says and Piper looks shocked and I snort with a smirk and I nudge her "why you telling me?" Piper asks.
Rex and Hannah walk into haliwells hardware and appliance, the shop owner is already dead and hooked up to the wall by some garden head is drooped to the side and a big blood patch is in his stomach with a pair of large hedge cutters are stuck in his stomach and hbis tounge is poking out of his mouth and a look of horror is on his dead pale shop front window is couple look around and Hannah purses her lips "hmm" is all she says.
"Hello Matthew" Rex says staring at an aggressive looking Matthew,"we have got to do something about his clothes" Hannah states scanning the warlock and Rex sees her green eyes and reconigses a look of amorously thrilled rises inside of him but he ignores it,"who are you?how do you know me?" Matthew demands glaring at the two strangers.
"Well, the short answer is we're the ones who gave the witch the locket to have you freed. I suppose you could say we're partners." Rex explains putting his hands behind his back and letting his British accent do the convincing since he wanted the charmed ones dead and their powers as much as Matthew does,it was a diffrent age and time and witches have changed since Matthew last physical presence had taken place outside of the locket and whether Matthew liked it or not he needed Rex and Hannah's help if he wanted to succeed in getting revenge he would have to work with Rex and Hannah.
"I work alone" Matthew snarls.
"No, not in this century you don't. You're new in town, new in time, you need our help. Hmm, I see you've been shopping. Find what you're looking for?" Rex asks gives Rex a poisonous look of irratation,"I want Melinda warrens children" he says.
"Ooh, talk about your coincidences" Hannah says with a grim smile, "You see, we have the means to find them for you. And you have to ability to take their powers. Come." They turn to leave but Matthew doesn't move. "What?" Rex asks impatiently at the warlock,"how'd you find me?" He asks curiously at his new alliances.
" Prue Halliwell, a Halliwell attorney, now here. You are leaving a trail, my friend. And that has got to stop."
-Prue-
Piper,Paige,Phoebe and Melinda are sitting at dining room table why I stand behind Melinda and attach both ends of the locket together around
Her neck.
"Once Matthew had what he wanted he told the town council I was a witch and they arrested they burned me at stake " A deep frown tugs her light pink lips downwards,I walk around her and sit on the chair next to Paige."why didn't you save yourself?" Piper quizzes Melinda with sincerity in her brown orbs.
"Yeah,why didn't you use your powers to escape?" Phoebe presses on with Piper and Melinda sighs a little."I had a daughter,her name was Prudence" I am a little suprisedd to hear I'm not the only one in the warren family tree with the name Prudence,I wonder if she was called Prue too,Melinda and my sisters all smile at me.
"She meant everything to me ,If I had used my powers it would have proven Matthews charge and Prudence would have burned too.
So I thought I'll accept this and pray some kind soul would take pity on my daughter and raise her in a safe home,only then the warren line could continue and it must have worked because you're here" she smiles in an appreciated manor.
"Why do warren witches lose their mother's so early?" Phoebe asks and I feel a hollow feeling at the thoughts about when we lost our beloved mother.
"Phoebe,I can't change the past but I think I can protect the future" is Melinda's response to Phoebes half question."How?Matthew is so strong,he has this wild power where he he can be at once place and then another very,very quickly" Paige says and reconigtion is what I think twinkles in Melinda's eyes.
"In the blink of an eye?" She asks and I nod "exactly".
"Its called blinking,he must have copied it from another Witch.I stripped him of all the powers he got off me but who knows how many other powers he stole".
"What do you mean copied from you?" Piper asks curtly and we all look at Melinda questioningly "that's his power,to copy the power a good witch would use against him" she tells us and I feel a blinding hatred towards myself and Matthew,how the hell could I have let him take my power so easliy?."Then he definitely has mine and Prue's" Paige says digging her fingers through her dyed ranga hair.I can see my older sister is also annoyed that he got our powers.
"Once he's copied a power it has no affect on him,shoulkd he gain all four powers he'd be impossible to vanquish" Melinda says in a serious voice and I see the worried look on Piper and Phoebes young faces."So what do we do?" I ask and Melinda sits up straighter.
"We curse him"
"If we can't?" Asks Piper only causing a dead silence to fall over the room.
Hannah sits in Rex's office with Matthew alone,her back faces him,he is putting blue denim jeans on and he has no top on with his bare chest on full displayand its very muscled."Are these pants meant to be so tight?" Matthew asks glaring at the blue peaks over her shoulder and scans his sexy body and she can't contain her lustful smirk at what she see's."Absolutely" she answers the warlock sweeping HDR eyes over him one more time.
"No wonder your men frown all the a wonder they can walk at all,so is this right?" He asks the woman and Hannah tips her specks to the tip of her nose with a satisfying smile."Oh yeah" she grins and Matthew finally realizes that Hannah is enjoying what she's seeing,he's seen the look in so many witches faces before,it was imbedded into his evil mind.
"If it pleases you to look,look" he allows her and Hannah's a bit taken back by this permission, she didn't mean for him to notice.
"I wasn't looking... Much".
He walks gracefully over to her and he spins her chair around so he's towering over her and Hannah crosses her green eyes slowly up his tanned chest until her eyes meet his dark,mystifying ones."Why tged false modesty?, I don't understand" he demands.
"Well its a very complex issue these days,I mean there's political correctness, sexual harassment, ugh,don't Get me started" she says flipping a bright and curly piece of hair behind her neck.
"What a strange time this is,so open yet so closed,where even a warlock feels shame" He says discreetly.
Rex then suddenly walks in and is confronted by the sight in front of shirtless and standing over Hannah sitting on a chair and looking amorously into Matthews eyes and Rex is mollified instantly.
"Hannah..,what in the Devil!" He says in astounded tone.
"Rex,I told you I'd get him dressed" she defends herself a little embarrassed."Yeah,ten minutes ago!" He remarks.
"Well we tried on so many things,she said it is difficult to choose" Matthew also defends the woman he feels attracted to shamelessly.
"Playtimes over big boy,you've got a job to do" Rex orders Matthew with growing intensity in his very dark brown smiles at Hannah and she winks and Rex glares at her before leaning over to her ear."Remember he goes back from where he came from once this tasks over".
-Piper-
Melinda,my sisters and I are all in the Attic."I can't believe I don't remember all the ingredients" Melinda groans as she sits on the Sofa."Its been awhile since you cursed Matthew" Prue says patting her shoulder in comfort.
Phoebe walks over to the book stand why I sit next to Melinda and Prue,Paige stands.
"Yeah,like three hundred years" Phoebe chuckles a little after she says this and I roll my eyes."Whatever you don't remember should be in the book" I say and we all walk over to Phoebs and the book.
"The book of shadows,oh my its gotten so thick" Melinda giggles and all eyes look at her.
"It wasn't always?" Prue asks,Melinda shakes her head."No,no but each warren witch has obviously added to it over the years and made it so,haved you added anything?" Melinda asks solemnly to us and I see Phoebe about to say something.
"Us?are you kidding?we're new at this,we can't just make up our own spell...wait,can we?" She asks with exploration sparkling in her chocolate orbs.
"All things in time book will grow as you grow,sometimes you add to it,sometimes it teaches you,oh here's the curse" Melinda smiles in relief and I feel relieved too,at least now there's hope we can god damn kick this guys over due ass.
Paige hands her a notepad and pen and Melinda looks at both items with an overly confused look."Just start writing" I help her "no ink?" Melinda asks with a slight frown.
"No" Prue answers as Phoebes flipping pages noise lyes in the background of all the chit chat."Ha!" Melinda grins seeing as ink leaks from the pen freely and Phoebe goes back to the curse spell.
I look at the opposite page and see the title to increase patience I read with a little smile."Grams must have added that one" I say and all my sisters look at it with a smile as soon as they read it.
"I bet she used that spell a lot raising us huh" Phoebe says and we all give her an appalled pointed look and she looks at oblivious to what we're thinking.
"Phoebe,not all of us were trouble makers" Prue says and it gives me flashbacks to all the times when Phoebe used to do something cheeky and she used to sneak out and did naughty things .time.
"I wasn't a troublemaker,I was just-" we cut her off.
"A pain?" I grin and Phoebe gives me a non amused look "free spirit" she says with clenched teeth in a playful way,
"A handful" Paige adds and Phoebe glares at her "you still are" Prue also says poking Phoebes small nose and she swatts Prue's arm and we all laufgh including Melinda.
"A warren,its a family trait,so are the short tempers,the great cheek bones,the strong of coarse the powers,the blessings,all the signs of where you came book is you're connection and it all started with me" she says and I feel a legendary feeling come over me like Melinda was the one who killed Hitler,I feel so proud to call her my ancestor.
"Well let's make sure it doesn't end with us,we need to get going" Paige says looking at us all.
Rex is showing Matthew security camrea pictures of Paige,Prue,Piper and Phoebe."Now this is Prue,also Paige,you've already met them,this is Pioer and the youngest here is Phoebe,she'll be the easiest to steal off" Rex Info's him and Matthew smiles."Such marvelous paintings,you can't even feel the brush strokes" Matthew says fasinasted by what's in his veiw.
"Remind us to take you to the movies when this is all over" Hannah smirks still perving on Matthew.
"This is the address of quake,Piper works there,may I suggest you go there first, take her power, Hannah will drive you".
