Chapter 35, The power of three goes to...

"We don't have you to thank for it, but we have got the power of three already," Chris said, angrily, to Bane.

"And they didn't attack you?" Bane looked surprised.

"Yes of course they did, but my children are very powerful." Piper added, her eyes where shooting fire.

Melinda had had enough of it," Stop it", she said. "He has tried to save me. We will never know what would have happened when he hadn't interfered."

Then she walked over to him and said:" I forgive you." And then she walked out of the office. Her brothers followed her.

She looked at Wyatt and said, "please orb me home, I have had it." And so the siblings orbed home.

About 10 minutes later Piper and her sisters arrived at the manor to.

Wyatt, Chris and Melinda where sitting in the living room. And the sisters joined them.

"I know you have forgiven him Lin, but I don't know if I ever can. I just can't believe that he taught that this was the best thing to do." Piper said.

"Me neither" Paige said.

"It's because of him that we where the power of three for so many years," Phoebe said. "I'm a little bit thankful for that."

"Phoebe, how can say that, you don't mean that you are thankful for Melinda being kidnapped." Piper looked shocked at her sister.

"No of course not, I'm just saying that it is OK, that the power of three has been taken over now." She looked at her cousins. "They can handle it now, but I doubt if they could have handled it a couple of years ago."

Paige nodded, "I understand what you mean Phoebe."

Then Piper said: "You know what surprises me, that I miss the power of three. I would never have taught that I would say that. But it's true. It was strange to lose the power. It's OK, but it's strange to"

Chris looked at his mother and aunts, "What happened. I know we received the power of three, but you guys where here so fast, how did you know that you lost the power of three?"

Piper looked at her son, "we where in a demon fight when we lost the power of three, so we couldn't defend ourselves anymore."

"What" The 3 new Charmed ones looked shocked. "How did you get out a life?"

"Well, we where winning the fight and there was only one demon left. We started to chant the spell that we need it. But it didn't work. We realized something had happened to the power of three, so Paige orbed us to the manor before the demon could harm us."

"We wanted to look for an answer in the book, but the answer was standing right in front of us." Paige looked at her niece. "I'm so happy to see you in the manor again. To see you with your brothers, where you belong."

Melinda smiled at her "I'm thankful for your remark that you need it time to, when you first came her."

Paige smiled at her niece: "Your welcome, and I hope you come to me if you want to know anything, we are a little a like don't you think? We both have been away a long time."

Melinda nodded.

"Now you don't need to call us anymore, when you need a power of three spell to vanquish a demon." Piper smiled at her sons, she knew that they hated the fact that they always need it their mother and aunts for those battles.

"But you can always come by for help," Phoebe said.

"The power of three no longer is ours, it's yours. We still have our powers, so we can defend ourselves. But the power of three fights are yours to battle," Paige said with a smile.
