A Charming Evolution

Charmed POV 2: Revelation of the Matriarchs

The next day, the Halliwells decided to take a walk out and have picnic by the park. At least they get to spend some time off. They still don't understand what happened at P3 yesterday. Mutants, Phoebe thought. She was uneasy about that very idea but it sounded as if science was involved, not magic. But how would that explain the freak demon attack to Wyatt last night?

Paige drove the way to the park. They reached the place and the men, Leo and Wyatt, brought out all the goodies while three sisters prepared their place. They all sat down on the mat and Piper started the conversation.

"Who wants to have some cookies?" she asked.

"I do, I do!!!" Paige grabbed the box and started munching. Phoebe grabbed her sandwich while Leo and Wyatt played with the Frisbee. Phoebe stood up and said, "I'm gonna take a walk for a while so don't worry about me," she told her sisters.

"Sure." Paige replied, munched on more cookies and then lied down on Piper's lap.

Phoebe took a stroll down the peaceful park. Everything was green, everything was alive. She was enjoying the scenery until she saw Wyatt's Frisbee whizzing towards her. She caught it, and Wyatt came running to her.

"Thanks, Aunt Phoebe," Wyatt said.

"Not a problem," Phoebe smiled. She handed the Frisbee to Wyatt and when their hands touched, she felt an electrical surge pass through her. The wind suddenly picked up. It was a premonition.

Phoebe saw all of them: Leo, Wyatt, Piper, Paige, Eva, Prue and herself in a pyramid. She can see intricate hieroglyphics on the walls. They were with other people that looked like warriors. She did not feel any anger towards them but in fact, it was the very opposite. She felt an inane peace with the other people. What was weird though, is that the warriors manifested powers that she had never seen before. Definitely not witchcraft. She did not know who they were but it looked like this future tells her that she knows them.

There was a young guy in shades that sent off red light, a woman that could control weather, a younger woman that had powers like Prue did, a guy that can send flames, another guy that controls ice, a guy in red that apparently had power over metal, a guy in a wheelchair that had telepathic powers, a weird-looking blue-skinned guy that could teleport, another blue guy that looked like a hideous demon, a man made of steel, a guy that can run really, really fast and a young woman that can pass through walls.

They all looked powerful and are poised to fight. They also prepared to fight. Phoebe got herself ready in her fighting stance, Piper with her hands ready to make anything and everything explode into oblivion, Wyatt same as her mother, Paige in her Evil Enchantress mode got ready to summon flames and lightning, Prue, ready to wave her hands, and Leo and Eva, ready to throw their most potent potions.

There was a green light that glowed really bright from the chamber below. Something was coming. A guy in an Egyptian costume appeared and suddenly a big wave of energy, powerful energy, swept through all of them. Leo tried to orb out, but it was too late. All of them got thrown away, draining them of all their energy.

Piper and Wyatt were thrown to the wall, Phoebe, Paige and Prue to the other wall and Leo and Eva on the floor. The others also fell and got thrown away. Then… everything went black.

Phoebe then fainted.

Wyatt was screaming out loud, "DAD, MOM, AUNT PAIGE! HELP!!!" Wyatt knew it was a premonition but he knew that his Aunt Phoebe could handle premonitions. Whatever it was, it was pretty darn draining her powers, he thought.

The two Halliwells and Leo came. Leo was checking for a pulse. "She just fainted," he concluded.

"Phew," Piper sighed. "What happened here?"

"Aunt Phoebe got a premonition from me and it affected her bad. I don't know what happened but it started to get windy, and then she just fainted."

Paige ordered, "Well, let's get her home so she can rest. Leo and Wyatt, take her now to the manor while we finish cleaning up the mess." Leo and Wyatt orbed Phoebe home and then Piper and Paige cleaned up the picnic area.

At home, Phoebe felt a little better and opened her eyes. She realized that she was at the manor now. She got up and was sitting on the sofa when Wyatt came in. "Here's your tea," he said. Phoebe got the tea and sipped some.

"What did you see?" Wyatt asked. Paige and Piper entered the living room along with Leo. "I think we also have the right to know," Piper told her. So Phoebe told them about her premonition. About the Egyptian setting, the guy in the Egyptian costume. All of it. She took another sip of her tea, and then rested her head on her hands.

"So you are saying that all of us including Eva were fighting this very powerful demon, and that the Power of Three is screwed?" Paige definitely had a way with words.

"Well… No. Since it was in the future, we can change it. I mean, that is the purpose of my premonitions," Phoebe replied.

"Leo, can you check the Elders about this Egyptian demon?" Piper asked dearly. Leo nodded and then orbed to the heavens. Wyatt said, "Can we check the Book of Shadows and find some answers?"

"Good idea," Phoebe replied.

All of them stood up from the sofa and then went to the attic. After a few minutes…

"Nothing!" Piper declared and at the same time, frustrated. "How are we supposed to find the way on how to defend ourselves because apparently, we are screwed now?"

"Well, we can call for some matriarchal help," Paige answered. They decided that it was a good idea so Wyatt quickly brought the candles out and then Phoebe lighted them. Then all the four recited the spell to call spirits.

Prudence, Patricia, Penelope

Blood of our Blood

Our sister, Our mother, Our grandmother

We call upon thee

They finished the chant and soon, wind was gathering in the attic. This was the cue to them that the spell had worked indeed. After a minute, three spirits materialized. One was Patty, the Charmed Ones' mother, Penny, the Charmed Ones' grandmother and Prue, their sister who was killed by a demon many years ago. The three sisters and Wyatt hugged all of them after they completely materialized.

Prue asked, "Okay so what is the problem?" Phoebe narrated to them about her long premonition.

"It sounds like it was true…" Patty said.

"What was it?" Phoebe asked.

Penny started, "We heard from the Elders…"

Suddenly, Leo orbed back with Eva.

"Hi Eva, what brings you here?" Piper asked.

"I read some tea leaves and it ordered me to come here to face a destiny. They showed that there is a powerful kind of force awakening. He is more powerful than anyone of us; even the Power of Three cannot stop him. Not even the Power of Three and the Gypsy magic combined. The world is doomed," Eva said ominously.

"That's right." Penny told the Charmed Ones. Everyone turned to Penny as she started telling a story.

"We heard from the Elders that all of the demondom is back because of an unknown man. Every demon that you vanquished has returned from the demonic wasteland except for the Demonic Kids as the Nothing absorbed them. When they said every demon, they meant everyone that you vanquished so far as of last week."

"That means that the two demons that we killed yesterday are gone for good…" Piper murmured.

"There was this guy that had this power and he resurrected all of the demons in the demonic wasteland last week. From the info that they gathered, they did not come back to kill the Charmed Ones but instead to destroy this world by releasing the Apocalypse through his Four Horsemen. The 'Apocalypse' is capable of destroying the world and is immortal but only the three prophesized children can defeat him. The Elders still don't know on who is the prophesized children but one is a 'mutant'."

"There's that word again… what is a mutant? When a demon attacked at P3 and scared the people out of their wits and saw our powers, they said that we were mutants…" Piper wondered.

"I don't know what they are," Prue answered. "Neither do the Elders."

Piper sighed in disappointment.

"But I can give you a contact. Call this Professor Xavier at his academy. You can find that probably in the yellow pages and he knows that you guys are gonna call," Prue revealed.

"We better be going," Patty told them, "Blessed be."

And with that, all of the 3 spirits disappeared.

Eva declared, "Let us start calling him now." Piper and the others agreed and went downstairs.

"To the yellow pages!" Paige said.
