My mother(a wonderful woman*laughs sarcastically.*) wants me to send my screenplay to Warner Bros. Anyway, enjoy and PLEASE R/R!! Remember you asked for this!!


Phoebe's eyes opened slowly. Her mind had only remember the gleem in Shack's eyes when he sent a wind straight at her head. There was a crack and that was all she remembered. Where was she? Her bright blue eyes searched around her surroundings. It looked oddly familiar. Then it hit her. It was their attic. Phoebe slowly got up and saw Piper's slender figure next to her.

"Piper.. get up!"she said loudly.

Piper was startled by Phoebe's voice. Her eyes snapped open and she looked at Phoebe. At first, Piper swore she was imagining things. Phoebe was on the dark side. How could she be right here?

"Phoebe is that you?" she asked slowly still in somewhat disbelief. Phoebe smiled and threw her arms around Piper. She tightened her grasp making sure they were really together.

"Yeah.. it's me." Phoebe whispered trying to hold back her tears. It was too late. Her tears were already drenching Piper's purple shirt.

Their embrace seemed to last a lifetime. Everything seem to just spill out. Piper took Phoebe to the living room to break the news about Prue's death.


"Phoebe.. hunny you'd better sit down." Piper showed Phoebe to a seat next to her's. The stain glass windowed door was smashed from Shack's last attack. As Piper sat down and reached for the book of Shadows, she realized her hands were shaking.

"Piper... what's wrong?" Phoebe could see the paleness of Piper's face.

"Prue.. Shacks killed her."

Phoebe stared at Piper with horror-filled eyes. How were they to survive without Prue's guidence?

"It's alright... we still have each other.." Phoebe said apparently trying to hide her emotions.

"We have not only each other but.. another sister." Piper took the crumpled letter out of her pocket and handed it to Phoebe. Her hands literally shaking, took the letter and began to read it.

"Why would Grams hide this from us?" Phoebe finally choked out.

"Piper sighed.

"There are so many reasons including ummm.. we are the charmed ones!

"Phoebe's train of thought was interupted by a crashing in the main hall. It sound like the windows had been shattered. There wasn't much of the window left considering Shacks' last attack. Both of them ran to the hall to find a demon there. It looked like a mix of a bear with a zebra. Piper so startled by the bear froze him.

"Umm.. Well what do we do!?!" she said pretty hotly.

"Let's just move him into the street. Maybe a fricken car will kill him so then we can figure out what to do!" Said Phoebe already halfway pulling the bear into the street. Piper couldn't really move because she had to keep the damn thing in place.


"Why don'r we just do this?" Piper exclaimed before using her power of speeding of molecules. Phoebe broke into her first smile since the entire incident the day before.

"Now that is a demon kabob... Anyway, time for the BOS!"

"The what?"

"Piper, you need to learn the code! Book of Shadows!" Phoebe said as it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Oh! Me first!" The girls ran to the attic like they were in the Boston Marathon.

Once the two made it up to the attic, Phoebe ran to the book stand to find the book right next to it. She took her long fingers and brush the soot off the cover. She stared at the cover for a fleeting moment and turned to Piper.

'"There are only two penticles in the middle. I guess the one not into middle stands for Prue..."

Piper began to quickly turn the pages until she spotted the zebra bear thing. She ran her fingers across it slightly.

"Zebroyus... the demon of despair. It haunts innocents with something hidden in their heart like a lost love who they don't want anyone to know of or a secret like a diease. There is a vanquishing potion and spell but you need the power of three."

"Ok.. well that creates a problem considering we don't have it available at the moment!" said Phoebe.

"Maybe not. I think we should give Portia a visit."

Cole woke up finding himself infront of the source. The source held an ax to his neck and began to speak.

"Where is your witch? You have have help her escape!!" he exclaimed throwing an energy ball at Cole,

The pain was horrible, even unbearable but Cole took it for Phoebe.

"You have also told the girls of their other sister as well-" his booming voice again rang out but was interupted by Cole's croaking voice.

"What other sister?"

"That is none of your concern. You must know already. Now you will remain here Belthaszar. To rot and be tortured.."

Piper took her long arms and knocked on the white oak parlor door. The house was extemely magnificant with pale blue exteriour and white lining. The garden was filled with pink and yellow lilies. At that moment, a young woman answered the door. She had deep brown hair almost identical to Piper's. It was long reaching down her back. Her brown eyes glittered.

"Can I help you?" she asked pleasantly.

"We are looking for Portia Determan." said Phoebe.

"You have found her. Why don't you come in?" the women showed the girls into a parlor. It had fine crystal dishes and cabinets all over it. Portia showed them to a victorian couch where they sat down. The woman returned with a tray of tea and crumpets.

"So what is it that you want from me?" she said smiling.

"It is a long story and a whole lot of letters." began Piper.

~*~

The book of Shadow's last penticle began to move to it's proper place. Once again, there was one difference.. once of the penticles was a different colour from the other.

~*`~

"My father did tell me I was a witch but not until he died. He binded my powers. After he died, I began to move things with my mind. I didn't know I had sisters." said Portia sipping her tea.

"We just lost our eldest sister Prue because of a demon." said Phoebe her hand shaking suddenly.

"I am very sorry to hear of your loss."

"The reason we have come to you is that we want you to join us. For our destiny." began Piper.

"And the greater good!!" continued Phoebe.

Portia so surprised by that statement dropped her teacup.

"I couldn't.. I am the chief of Emergency Medicine!"

"I am a full-time student and Piper is a cluib owner of P3. We all have other lives but this is something we were borne to do."

Portia began to pick up the shattered teacup. She saw the seriousness in the woman's eyes.

"I am not changing my life for this!!"

Phoebe looked at her for a slight moment and went out the door without another word. Piper strugged at Portia and ran out after Phoebe slamming the door. Piper came onto the driveway running after Phoebe.

"Now why did you do that?"

Phoebe looked at her slightly with her eyes thick with emotion.

"I just lost a sister Piper. I couldn't take this woman's additude towards it."

"I lost my sister too! We reacted the same way when we found out we had powers."

Phoebe without answering got into the car and opened the door for Piper. They rode off silently.

~*~

Portia went into her kitchen putting away all her china and began to clean up her parlor. She couldn't shake off what Phoebe had asked her. Become one of them? Put my life at risk everyday? Never... Portia felt a presence at that moment. It seemed to be pushing her towards the attic. She followed the presence to the attic and a trunk opened. Portia very uncertained, put her hand in it and felt around. She pulled something out. A book. The pages flew open to a page about family history. Portia traced her finger to Phoebe and Pipers. There was another name but it had been starached out and Portia's name had been put instead. It was circled Charmed Ones. Quickly, slamming the book down and grabbing it under her arms. She ran out of the house and drove off to the Haliwell Manor.

~*~

Phoebe sat in the funeral parlor office. She never imagined having to do this, cleaning away her sister's memories. She was too young to die. Prue did die for what she loved to do which was being a witch. Everything the three sisters had gone through up until 2 days ago which was the last time Phoebe saw her sister flushed in her mind. At that moment she had a preminition.


*Piper trying to hold off the demon. She being literally smashed into a wall like Prue was.*

Phoebe jumped up going back to the manor as soon as possible.
~*~

Piper began to clean through Prue's belongings. Clothes and pictures were scattered on the floor. This brought on a time for remembering. Piper remembered over the last 3 years what they had gone through. Her dying like 4 times. Demons being close to defeating them. That moment was interupted by a crashing in the hall. Piper run down and saw Zebroyus infront of her. She tried to freeze and unfortunatly was not able to. The wall ended up exploding. The bear-zebra took his hoove and went smashing Piper into a wall. Phoebe came running on to the scene with Portia. She went running to Piper.

"LEO!"

Leo orbbed down in a flash and ran to Piper. Hoping this wasn't the second time she had died in two days began to heal her. It was working perfectly. As Piper began to revive herself, Phoebe grabbed the vanquishing spell and yelled at the two others.

"READ THIS!"

"Despair disappear in the dark, love and truth show the light!" There was a crack and boom and the demon was no more.
~*~

Portia brought into the living room a bowl of popcorn and some cokes. Phoebe and Piper gladly took them and smiled.

"Our lives will never be the same you know." said Portia grabbing the popcorn.

"I think we should dedicate this to Prue. May her sprirt stay strong and vibrant where ever she is." said Phoebe holding her glass.

"I propose a toast to us!" said Piper.

"TO US!"


A/N: THE END!!
