Their heads turn simultaneously. "Oh my gosh, Emily," said Prue. They quickly headed downstairs. "Emily?" Phoebe yelled as she made her way down the attic stairs. When they got to Phoebe's room, they saw Emily tossing and turning in the bed as she whimpered. The three of them made their way to the bed. Piper went over to her and was about to touch her shoulder when suddenly Emily's eyes popped open. Startled, Emily, with a frightened look, gasped and slid away from Piper to the opposite side of the bed. "It's ok sweetie, it's only me," said Piper in a caring tone. Emily, calming down for a minute as she realized where she was, took a couple of deep breaths, scooted up from the covers and sat up. Piper motioned Emily to come over to her as she put out her arm. Emily scooted over to Piper and wrapped her arms around her. "It's gonna be ok, it was just a dream," Piper said sweetly.
"But she said it was real," said Emily as she sat a little away from Piper and looked at the three of them, "and it feels real."
"Who's she?" said Phoebe.
"My mommy," said Emily very surely, "she came to me. She always comes to me in my dreams. Ever since...ever since she went to live with the Moon and the stars," she said sadly.
"You mean ever since she died?" asked Prue hesitantly.
"Uh huh," said Emily as she nodded and stared at the floor.
"Well you are a very lucky little girl," said Phoebe as she went to sit near her on the bed. Emily looked up at her with her innocent eyes. "That's pretty neat how you can talk to your mom in your dreams. Our mom died before I could even know her...it's tough." Emily nodded and looked really upset. Phoebe started in again and said, "So what kind of things do you guys talk about?"
"She tells me stories," said Emily with a little smile.
"Really, what kind of stories," asked Prue.
"Kinda about the stuff I need to know, like for my p-" Emily stopped talking when she realized what she was going to reveal.
"What? What is it, you can tell us," said Piper reassuringly. Emily bit her lower lip and looked a little uncertain and worried.
"Were you going to say powers, sweetie?" asked Phoebe.
Emily gasped, "How...how did u know that?"
The three of them looked at each other and then Phoebe said, "Because we're witches."
Emily's eyes widened. She looked at the three of them and cautiously said, "Do you fly on broomsticks and cook toads?"
All of them laughed at the innocent comment. "No, but we do have magic powers like you," said Piper.
Emily gasped and suddenly looked really scared. "Are you gonna hurt me?" she said nervously.
"Of course not silly. Why would we want to do that?" said Piper.
"Well cause my mommy told me that people who find out will want to hurt me. She said that's what happened to her. And that's why Ms. Morgan is so mean to me."
They all looked at each other and realized that there was more to this story than they thought. "Don't worry, you're gonna be ok. We're good witches. We're very good witches. We help people and make all the bad stuff go away, just like that," said Piper sweetly as she snapped her fingers. Emily smiled and Piper winked at her.
"So wait, Emily, your mom never told you that you were a witch?" asked Prue.
"No, she never said I was," said Emily, "at least I don't think I am," she said a bit confused. "My mommy called me a Moon Dreamer. She told me tonight that I have celtic sight! But only one thing, I don't know what that is."
"She didn't tell you?" asked Prue.
"No. And I promise to my heart I don't know what it means," said Emily insistently.
"It's ok honey, we believe you," said Piper as she put her arm around Emily and rubbed her arm gently. "Is there anything else you can tell us?"
"Something bad happened when I was dreaming."
"What happened?" asked Prue.
"Ms. Morgan came and she was really scary. Her eyes changed color and were glowing red. And then she said that she's gonna kill me like she killed my mommy unless I gave her what she wants. And then, then she said that I couldn't tell anyone or else...or else she'll hurt me badder than before, and Daddy and you too Piper."
"That's not going to happen. We won't let it happen," said Piper. "You're gonna be safe here with us."
"And if that mean old Ms. Morgan comes, I'll sock her right in the nose and kick her straight to the ground," said Phoebe trying to lighten the moment. "I know kick-boxing ya know." Emily giggled.
"Well, I've had enough of being cooped up in this bedroom. How about a field trip downstairs?" said Prue.
"Sounds great! What do u think kiddo?" asked Piper. Before Emily could answer her stomach started growling. "Well what was that?" Piper asked as she made a silly face.
"My tummy," said Emily quietly and innocently.
"Oh my goodness!" said Piper as she put out her hand for Emily to grab. "We gotta feed that tummy. When was the last time you ate today?"
"A long time ago. Ms. Morgan didn't let me finish my lunch."
"Well we will just have to fix that!" Piper bent down to Emily's level. "So, what would you like cutie?" she asked as she smiled at her.
"Ummm...do you have peanut butter and jelly?" she asked kind of excitedly.
"Sure do! One PB and J coming right up!" said Piper as she giggled a little. All of a sudden Emily wrapped her arms around Piper and gave her a big hug.
"I love you Piper!"
Piper's heart melted for she absolutely adored Emily. But she couldn't help worry about what was going to happen, for there were still some loose ends that needed to be tied.
Phoebe and Prue couldn't help but stare with smiles. "Hey Emily, I bet if you ask really nicely, piper might give you some of her homemade brownies that she made!" said Phoebe.
"Brownies?" said Emily very excitedly.
Piper laughed, "Uh huh. Come on." Emily grabbed her hand as they all headed for the kitchen.
