Soul Possession
Disclaimer: Although I fervently wish it were so, I do not in any way, shape or form own Charmed.
This story is set just after the episode Dreamspell'. The party referred to is the baby shower the sisters fell asleep at in P3.
Chapter 1
It's a beautiful morning in San Francisco. All is still at the Halliwell manor; a rare occurrence. Suddenly, Phoebe clatters into the living room, yelling.
Piper! Have you seen my purse?
From the kitchen, Piper answers, It's on the counter, Pheebs!
She shook her head in exasperation. Leave it to Phoebe to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere. She, for one, had been enjoying the rare quiet, she thought.
Oh. Ha! Here it is! said Phoebe, plucking the purse off the table.
Would you like some breakfast before you go? asked Piper.
No thanks. I'm already late for work. I'll just take one of these yummy muffins and eat it on the run.
With that, Phoebe took a blueberry muffin, wrapped it in a napkin and headed for the door. She exchanged good byes with Leo, who was just coming down the stairs. Still sleepy, Leo sat down at the table.
Mmm. Smells good, Piper. Leo said appreciatively.
And good morning to you, too. Piper said grinning. She gave him a quick kiss and continued, Here you go. Nothing like my blueberry pancakes in the morning huh?
Mmmff. You bet. Leo said around a mouthful. Laughing lightly, Piper sat down with her own plateful of blueberry pancakes.
It's awfully quiet around here with Paige gone. commented Leo as he ate.
I know. That's a good thing though, isn't it?
Leo grinned. Piper continued, I'm glad she got that job offer though. At least she won't be moping around the house anymore.
Lately, Paige had been complaining about having nothing to do and about being a big, fat, unemployed loser. At least until recently. Piper smiled at the memory.
But you don't have the Power of Three anymore, What if you get attacked?
Well. we'll just have to take our chances. Maybe we'll get lucky and get a break from those killer demons that just can't seem to get enough of us. Besides, it's only for one more day, and she's only a orb away. No demon attacks so far, right? Piper argued.
Alright, if you insist. Leo gave trying to reason with Piper. She was so stubborn sometimes. But that was one of many qualities he admired in that woman.
After breakfast, Piper got ready to go to the club and Leo washed the dishes. A few minutes later, Leo was seeing Piper off at the door.
I've gotta get to the club, There's a lot of cleaning up to do after the party last night.
Bye, Take care. I'm still worried, you know.
Well, don't be. Relax.
They kissed and Piper left. Still unconvinced, Leo moved to the living room. He plopped on the sofa and turned on the TV,
Oh well. No time like the present.

Meanwhile, in the underworld, ina dimly lit cavern. There is a cloaked and hooded demon talking to another more simply cloaked demon in human form.
We must strike now. The time is right, for one of the sisters is separated from the others. When we take one out, the others will be at our mercy.
I understand. Who shall I kill/ The speaker is a blonde-haired middles aged guy who has a sinister look about him.
The middle sister. Phoebe. She has the the passives power and will be easier to kill. The eldest will give in easily which will make my plan that much easier, and the baby inside her must remain alive. The youngest is a real fighter and is too hard to attack now.
I will do as you say. The demon shimmered out.

Dum dum dum! What do you think so far? Pleez R&R!! This is probably really short, but it's just the beginning. I have the whole story written out, iIm just typing a little at a time. I apologize in advance for hinting at Buffy characters, but they are necessary for my Buffy/Charmed crossover that i'm writing now. It's supposed to take place immediately after this fic, and all the mentionings in this fic come together with the next, Also, in case it's necessary, I do not own Buffy.
