Charmed, The Legend of the 4

Chapter 3:A Fourth Witch!?

By P3Lover

"Just try and vanquish me witches. I dare you to," Alterrac said willing the Charmed Ones to attack him.

"You asked for it," Phoebe jumped in the air and kept flying around Alterrac kicking him.

"Get away from me you firefly of a witch," Alterrac sent Phoebe flying into the 4's tomb with a wave of his hand.

"Piper, freeze him!" Paige shouted.

Piper threw her hands up aiming at Alterrac. He stopped moving.

"Okay Paige, slice his skin off with the knife," Piper said.

Paige ran over to Alterrac to get some of his flesh but as she got there Alterrac grabbed her and flung her at Phoebe who was flying towards him.

"Foolish witch your powers won't work on me down here," Alterrac said.

"Piper I thought you froze him!" Paige said.

"It didn't work he was pretending to be frozen, your powers aren't strong enough down here to freeze him," Cole said.

"Very good, Belthazor but you shouldn't have neglected to tell them on your way down here," Alterrac said and threw an energy ball at Cole.

Piper threw her hands at the ball and it exploded in mid-air.

"My powers mightn't work on you but they still work on your energy balls," Piper said.

"Yes well, you won't be able to stop this," Alterrac said and threw Piper onto her sisters.

"You're not going anywhere," Phoebe said.

"I thought I got rid of you already," Alterrac said to Phoebe, "Of course your whitelighter healed you."

"Wow maybe you aren't that slow after all…not!" Phoebe flew at Alterrac feet first.

"Ames, get down here!" Alterrac shouted and a man dressed all in black with a crossbow appeared.

"Oh no a darklighter, Leo get out of here we'll be fine," Piper said to Leo.

"Okay call me when he's gone," Leo said and orbed somewhere safe.

"Damn it you were too late Ames, but wait here in case he comes back," Alterrac said.

"Yes, of course Alterrac, I know that whitelighter I'll wait for him," Ames said and stood there waiting for Leo to return.

"Now get out of my way, witch. I have more important things to do," Alterrac threw Phoebe back onto Paige.

Alterrac walked over to four tombs and started saying something in some language that they couldn't understand. When he was finished he struck himself through the heart with an athame. As his blood flowed onto the tombs a light filled the tomb.

"Paige they're being resurrected we have to get out of here now," Piper said.

Paige then orbed herself and her two sisters along with Cole back to the mansion.

"He was stronger than we thought imagine what it will be like if we have to fight the 4, which we'll have to do sooner or later," Paige said.


"Well lets get Leo down here and maybe he can heal us then we'll decide what to do about the 4," Phoebe said.

"Leo! Leo!" they shouted.

"The 4 are being resurrected right now the Elders are really worried. They said I should stay here for now and they'll call me when they figure out what we can do," Leo said as he healed them.

"Why do we have to do all this? I know we're the Charmed Ones and all that but there are other witches, we've helped them before why can't they do all this for once?" Paige said.

"Because it is your destiny to do all this." A voice said.

"Where'd that voice come from? And whose voice is it?" Cole said.

"It's one of the Elders," Leo said.

"What really? If you're going to talk to us you could at least appear to us as well!" Piper said still a little pissed from the fight.

"If that is how you want it to be," another voice said.

In front of them stood four tall men. They were dressed in white hooded cloaks and were glowing as bright as the sun. Their faces couldn't be seen underneath their cloaks but their voices were still loud.

"The 4 have been resurrected and only you can stop them because it is your destiny. This was decided long before the birth of your ancestor Melinda Warren. It has changed slightly since then but it remains pretty much the same." The elders said all at once.

"But why us and how are we supposed to stop them we couldn't even stop Alterrac," Paige said.

"As we said before it is your destiny to do this. We did not make it so we do not control destiny." They said.

"Well that didn't make any sense at all and we asked two questions," Phoebe said.

"You could not beat Alterrac because it was not your destiny to beat him. We have been consulting the prophecies and it turns out you were never meant to see Alterrac, but your destiny changed and you did. One of you was to die but somehow that was changed." The elders replied.

"You mean you were going to take another one of my sisters or maybe even me! It was bad enough Prue had to die but to think of taking another of my sisters so soon," Piper said fighting back tears.

"Who was meant to die? As a matter of interest," Paige asked.

"We are not the ones who were going to take the life we did not know of it until after Alterrac began the resurrection. Back to the point of our visit you will need the help of a fourth witch," the elders said.

"A fourth witch where are we going to find another witch?" Paige said.

"A fourth witch has already been chosen. The witch is-" the elders started.

To be continued…

Oh the anticipation who will this new witch be, another sister, a brother perhaps or maybe a cousin, only time will tell. Maybe it will be an ancient ancestor like Melinda Warren I haven't decided yet. If you have any suggestions write them in your reviews-yes I said reviews I know that's very selfish of me to go to all the trouble of writing a story then looking for people to tell me what they thought but hey that's me.
