Chapter 2: A New Hope
Piper's eyes widened and she looked at her eager and waiting sisters.
" Are you sure?" Piper asked frantically. The voice on the other line spoke and
Piper said Bye and hung up. She slowly put the phone down and took a deep
breath. " You OK sweetie?" Leo asked looking concerned. ' More bad news?"
Paige asked. " Actually...no" Piper said looking relieved. " Then...?" Phoebe
asked impatiently. " Well...It was Dr. McMillan she said the test result she gave
me were the wrong ones." Piper said looking at her sisters faces. " That's
great...wait..what were you results?" Paige asked annoyed. " Well...she lost them
somehow..." She Said. " I'll have to do them some other time." Piper muttered
under her breath. Leo looks at him wife and he hears them call. " I got to go
sweetie" He says and kisses her good-bye.
Piper watches him leave and looks away. Paige looks at the clock and
exclaims she late as Phoebe remembers her deadline. All of them leaving the
kitchen in a frantic hurry and saying bye with hurry. Piper was finally relieved to
be alone. " Finally..." She says as she looks around the empty house hoping it
wouldn't forever be this way. 'Maybe there is a chance' Piper thinks hopefully.
Then stares into the distance seeing the kids across the street play in the
sprinkler. As She stares she suddenly feels a brush of cold air, then noticing the
window open. She wonders but doesn't think to much about it, and get up and
closes it. She begins to go back upstairs and hears the windows crash open once
again. She is about annoyed now and closes them making sure the latch is
secure this time.
As She begins to walk upstairs once more she hears a familiar voice. "
Piper?" The voice says trying desperately to get her attention. Piper pees over
the wall seeing a ghostly figure. " Mom...Hi..." She says. Patty looks up at her
daughter and looks pained. " I heard..." She says. "Heard about what? " Piper
tries to play off the subject. "Im so Sorry..." Her mother says in a conforting
manner. "Piper looks at her with a tear rolling down her cheek wanting to run and
hug her mother like she used to do when she was a little girl. " Why me...?" Piper
asks before running up to her room leaving her mother alone. Patty watches her
daughter go and closes her eyes : I promise you will have you wish " She says
Softly and disappears.
Piper lands on her bed and cries on her pillow remember the night before.
Then flashing to this morning. She looks at her vanity mirror standing in front of
her and looks at her tear stained eyes. " I look horrible" She says laughing and
crying at the same time. Then she looks at her phone, and begins hesitating
whether to call or not. She bites her lip and picks up the phone sniffling. " I have
to set my mind at rest.' She says and dials the number. The other line picks up
and begins speaking. " Yea..I'm Piper Halliwell-Wyatt and im hoping to be able to
see Dr. McMillan today...it's important." She says anxiously. the other line shuffles
around a little and then confirms the appointment. Piper lowers the phone and
places it in the cradle. She again looks at her appearance in the mirror. " I Have
to change" She says and hops to it.

Cut To Phoebe Sitting in her office:
Phoebe Puts on her glasses and grunts. "Another Deadline?..Deadline
after deadline..." she says and lowers the memo from her eyes. She hears a
knock from the front of her office looking up she sees it's the mail boy Martin.
"Oh..hey Martin..any mail today?" She says shyly knowing Martin has the hotts for
her, but he's a kid...she can't exactly go after him she thinks. He smiles shyly "
Are you kidding..you have more than the whole office" he smiles and lifts up a
huge brown box full of letters. "Enjoy" He says and wheels out the mail cart.
Phoebe takes off her glasses and peers in the box. "Oh Lordy" She says and
rubs her eyes.
She Picks up a couple and begins ripping them open reading the contents
of each letter quickly. "Dear Phoebe, My Mom is....." She puts one down and pick
up another. " Dear Phoebe, I love Marilyn Manson...." She reads another saying
small comments to herself. Then she picks up a particular one and get a weird
vibe from it. She opens it cautiously and looks at the contents.She opens the
letter and begins Reading:
Dear Phoebe,
My Name Is Mychal and im 12 years old. I'm so into witches and stuff and my
mother hates it. My whole room has pictures of scary looking demons and things.
I also read somewhere there are real witches in the world and powers are real . I
want to search for them but my mother is opposed to it. She says that if i continue
to follows all that stuff i will regret it. How do I make her understand that I can do
and will do what ever I want... Please Help me.
Mychal
Phoebe rubs her temples and glances at the latter again. "Oh Jeez..." She says
and turns on her laptop. "This is going to be one long night" She thinks and
begins typing away.

Cut to Paige At the Social Services Building:
Paige sits at her desk and looks at the massive piles of work. " I'm going to
be here forever" She whines to herself. Pick up a file and reads the contents. "
Boy being abused by Mother..." She reads and shakes her head. "Causes may be
psychological or by the loss of her first 3 children" Paige reads on. "Jeez..poor
lady" Paige thinks and puts the file down. She begins to think about her own
position with her sisters. She thinks about Piper and then about Phoebe. As She
begins to pick up the file she hears a faint voice "Paige..." It says and trails off.
She looks around and sees no one looking at her. She shrugs and picks up the
file again. She then sees a flash of light and lands on her back in a darkened room.
As she uses herself to become a human lightbulb she looks in front of her and
sees a dark unshaven Face... It was Cole
