Chapter 3
When the carload arrived at a pink and cream-colored house, everyone piled into the living room. A tall dark man was sitting on the couch with paper work and a baby crib next to him.
"Hey. How was the club tonight?" Inspector Darryl asked.
"Oh, it was great. We fought demons, and now have a new innocent. Does that explain it?" Paige said sarcastically.
"Hush Paige, Darryl thank you so much for watching Wyatt tonight. We'll see you soon. Bye," Piper said quickly then added, "Phoebe get the Book of Shadows, Paige, please check on Wyatt, and Leo." when Piper realized Leo wasn't paying attention to her she stopped. Leo instead was concentrating on Celestial.
"Celestial, when did your mother meet your father?" he asked.
"Um.I think I was told that my father was a soldier, he met my mother the night before he was shipped out," Celestial said uncertain.
"You said her name was Ceria, did she have a last name?" Leo asked.
"Leo, why the interrogation?" Piper asked. When Leo didn't answer, Piper spoke again, "May I speak to you, please." Leo got up and followed Piper to the kitchen. Just then Phoebe came back downstairs with a large, leather bound book and Paige came over with Wyatt in her hands. Phoebe set the book down and started to flip through the pages.
"Is that your son?" Celestial asked Paige.
"What.oh, no. Wyatt Matthew is Piper and Leo's son. One name after his dad and one after me, Matthews. So, why were those women after you? And why did you say that they could have controlled Leo?" Paige asked.
"Because they are what you call sirens," Celestial sighed.
"Here, sirens," Phoebe declared and began to read.
'Sirens are half-woman and half-bird demons. They have several different powers: control over lightning and fog, ability of great speed, and control over males with their voices. There is a hierarchy of sirens, novice mistress, and Harpe Lady. The Harpe Ladies are the original sirens, they have the power to switch forms, they are immortal unless they are slain by a 'Charmed' spell or they go unaffected by any other mortal power.'
"That explains why Piper's power didn't work," Paige pointed out, "and the only way to vanquish them is by a Power of 3 spell."
"They have power of lightning and fog.why.I thought you couldn't mess with nature," Phoebe thought aloud.
"The Harpe Ladies are the original sirens meaning they are the daughters of a Greek god, I don't know which one though, but that grants them the command over nature," answered Celestial, "so, with the power over fog and lightning, the sirens create a storm and sing sailors to their death over rocky waters. There are four of them, Serena, their leader, Arsena and Aura, they were the other two you saw."
"Okay, you named three of them, and why do the Harpe Ladies want you?" Paige inquired.
"Because my mother was the fourth Lady."

Piper tapped her foot on the floor in the kitchen as she waited for Leo explanation.
"I'm." he started, but was cut off by Piper.
"Why did you ask her so many personal questions? Especially about her mother! You know how we are when we talk about the people who died in our family," Piper snapped and she would have gone on if Leo didn't stop her.
"Piper, listen, I know who her father is. Me." Piper just stood in silence. "Piper, I know this is a shock, but believe me. It was the night before I got shipped out, I met her. I was under Ceria's spell. I'm sorry."
"I don't understand. How could you be her father? She had white- lighter powers, like Wyatt. You weren't a white-lighter yet, you didn't even die yet."
"When the Elders make someone into a white-lighter, they concentrate on who and what that person was. The downfall is it goes right down to the DNA. Celestial, being conceived, also had my DNA when I was made a white- lighter. So, she took on white-lighter powers like Paige and Wyatt."
"How can you be sure that this girl is your daughter?"
"She said her mother told her that her father had a 'future among the stars'. That's the phrase the Elders tell any new white-lighter before they start their work."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"To be honest, I forgot."
"You forgot.anyways it doesn't matter. The fact is you need to tell me things like this more and you have a daughter that is looking for you. Now go and tell her who her father is."
"Thank you, Piper, so much," Leo was so happy and he would have kept praising her, but they heard yelling and screaming coming from the living room. When the two left the kitchen, they did not notice someone peering through the window.
