All In The Family For Once

Chapter 5, 3 Left, Now What?

"Ok!" Piper said slowly. "I am gonna go out on a limb here and say this isn't good!" Piper said sarcastically and surprisingly calmly.

"Aww, gee! Do you think?!" Phoebe shot back just as sarcastically.

"Guys, now is not the time to fight!" Prue seemed to gather herself and shove her problems back where they came from.

"Ahh, the silent one speaks! What was up your butt at dinner that seems to have gone away just in time for you to play Prue the heroic?" Phoebe turned and yelled at her oldest sister.

"Phoebe! She's right we have to concentrate on finding Paige and Grams!" Piper shouted above Phoebe's ranting.

Phoebe opened her mouth like she was going to argue and have a go at Piper but seemed to think better of it.

"You do have a point, Book of Shadows?" Phoebe looked ashamed and signalled that they should go upstairs.

The other nodded and they all pegged it up the stairs. When the trio reached the attic they found the book jumping around on its stand. They hurried over and flipped it open. The pages started to turn themselves furiously and light shimmered form between the leaves of the book. It finally landed on page and the girls leaned in to read the contents.

The time has come To test the power Of the 3 To save the four

Alone the remaining Must combine their power To complete the circle of the Powerful Halliwell prophesy

"What the hell does that mean? All I know from that is it was put there by the elders, and that's only 'cos its signed!" Prue said exasperated.

"Well, I think means that it is up to us three to save Paige so we are 4 again, and that we have to this without Grams because it is a test of our power to see if we can get Paige back alone!" phoebe said, she was the one who had studied the book and combined with her spell creating ability was able to make sense of the cryptic message.

"What is the 'powerful Halliwell prophecy'?" Piper asked, just as confused as Prue.

"Umm, remember the times grams told us stories of something really powerful in the near future and how she called us her 'Charmed Ones'!" Phoebe began slowly. The others nodded and watched her carefully.

"I think its us!" she said incredulously.

Prue and Piper looked at her as if she had stapled her tongue to the wall.

"Come on Pheebs, that's about as believable as the woogieman!" Prue rolled her eyes at her sister.

"The woogieman was real! And think about it, it all makes sense, the stories, our powers are all different, and if us three work together we can get Paige back and with her that makes all four Halliwell sisters which could be the prophecy the book is on about!" Prue looked disbelieving, but Piper, being open minded said slowly,

"Well that is all we have to go on, so come on, I'll look for anything else in here and you two go downstairs to where Paige disappeared and look for clues!" Piper said taking charge.

Piper began to flip through the book as Phoebe and Prue went downstairs to obey their orders.

When the pair reached the living room they both began to search for anything that could lead them to a conclusion of this mystery.

"Hey Prue! I found Paige's bobble! Uhh! If only I could get a premonition off it!" Phoebe growled the last part in frustration.

"Try it! Just concentrate all your power and energy onto the bobble and think about how Paige disappeared!" Prue smiled at her sister.

"Ok! Here goes!" she shut her eyes and tried to call the information that no one yet knew to her.

"Nothings happening!" Phoebe cried in anger.

"Come on! Just concentrate! Think about Paige!" Prue gave her sister an encouraging hug and hoped for the best.

"I don't wanna think about Paige! You should have heard what she was saying earlier to me!" Phoebe began to get angry again.

"She nearly let our secr.." She trailed off as her anger bubbled inside her and she suddenly pulled into a premonition.

A/N what does Phoebe see? All revealed in next chapter! Again reminding you to click review while you are here.
