A/N: So, what do you think of the story so far? I know it isn't much, but it gets better after this chapter. Chapter 4 is already written, and the more reviews I get, the sooner I'll put it up.
Please review! I
have a bunch of other fics to work on, and the ones that get the most reviews are the ones that get the most attention.

Damn. He was at it again. Molly should have known something was wrong when she woke up that morning and he wasn't there. She should have left well enough alone and gone to school, but no. She'd been worried, though she couldn't fathom why, and she'd gone looking for him. She'd found him passed out again on his bedroom floor. He woke up when she opened the door, and he'd been yelling at her ever since.
Damn hindsight, Molly thought. "I'm leaving." she told him. 'I've got school."
"Fine, go." he said, "But there isn't much point. You're failing, aren't you? You never were very bright."
Molly ignored him. "Bye, Louis." she called, grabbing her books and practically flying out the door. She could hear Louis slamming the door and cursing behind her.
Already late for school, Molly decided to take the short cut through the woods. She ran, wanting to put as much distance between herself and the house as possible, and nearly ran into a woman who looked strangely like someone Molly knew...

Piper blinked, hard. She looked around, and realised she was outside, in a forest. That's when she remembered what had happened. The spell, she thought. It must have taken me here.
"Whoa, where are we?" Paige asked.
Piper spun around, surprised to see Paige, Phoebe, and Leo standing behind her. "How did you three get here?"
"The same way you did, I suppose." Phoebe guessed. "We came in when you cast the spell. Um, honey? Why did you cast the spell?"
Piper didn't answer. She just started walking, toward the edge of the woods. The trees became farther apart, and she could see a cluster of houses. One of them was set far apart from the others. For lack of any better plan, Piper started toward, all the while looking around.
She was studying the run-down neighborhood when she almost collided with a young girl. Piper was startled to realize that this was the girl from her nightmares.
"Molly?" Piper asked, almost inaudibly.
"No..." the girl whispered. "You aren't.... you can't be..." Molly turned around and started running. Piper, Leo, and her sisters did the only thing they could think of to do: run after her.
"Molly!" Piper called out. "Molly, please, I need to talk to you. I don't know why I'm here, but I think I can help you, if you let me."
Molly slowed down, turned around, and looked at Piper suspiciously. "You can't be..." she said again.
"Can't be what?" Piper asked, genuinely confused.
"But you look just like..." Molly continued. She looked up, studying Piper for a moment. "My God, you are. You don't know, but oh, you must be."
"Must be what?" Piper asked, her confusion turning into alarm.
Molly reached out to touch Piper, then thought better of it and instead answered the question. "My mother."
