Chapter 1:
Normal Life or Not a Normal Life, That is the Question

The Halliwell family were just trying to have a normal life. But, it can't be normal waking up to a rushed house at 7:00 A.M. on Saturday, can it? The sudden smell of freshly trimmed wood still filled the air. The sound of birds chirping couldn't be heard, because of the commotion set by the Halliwell family.

"Hey!!!" Piper shouted, "You two want to hurry up?? I don't really want to be late!!!"

"Geez, Piper," Paige shouted, walking slowly down the stairs, holding her dress, "Just because we're invited to a wedding doesn't mean we can't look good, and why can't we orb?"

"Because, we're trying to lead a normal life!!!" Piper shouted, holding Wyatt, her baby, while putting stuff in her trunk, "Now, let's got! I don't want to be late!"

Paige shook her head. She knows that she has been living with Piper for a while now, but she couldn't get used to Piper and her skills she used and what focuses she focused on through her life. With her husband, they former Whitelighter, leaving her, she couldn't bear to think of what Piper was going through, and yet, through all that nonsense, Piper was still acting like a mother. "She's always like a mother, isn't she?" Paige asked aloud, not knowing that, Phoebe, who was walking down the stairs heard her.

"Yeah," Phoebe chuckled, "Piper's a mother." Phoebe quieted down, "She's been like this ever since Prue died, leaving us. She's basically another version of Prue. Oh, I miss Prue."

Paige went over to Phoebe and put her arms around her, "Don't worry. Even though I don't know who she was or is, I know that she must have been a pretty good person, from the way you guys talk about her."

"Let's go!!" Piper shouted, "I have the car engine on! Comeon!!"

Paige let go to Phoebe and Phoebe shrugged, causing both of them to laugh. They walked together, onto the car. Soon, Chris, their current Whitelighter, stopped them in their tracks. "Where are you two going?" Chris asked.

Piper walked away from the car with it's engine still on and shouted at Chris, "We need some free time to make up for all our demon hunting. Can't you give us a break?"

Chris opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Piper cut him off, "That's not a question, it's a statement. So, we're NOT going demon hunting with you. Now GO AWAY!!"

Chris looked at Piper like she's crazy and shudders, "You don't have to go all crazy on me!!" Chris then, orbs away.

Phoebe looks at Piper and then to her car. Suddenly she gasped. A man was trying to get inside it! "PIPER! FREEZE HIM!!" Phoebe screamed.

Piper turned around and saw what Phoebe was looking at and froze the man, right when he was about to get into the car, with Wyatt. Piper threw the man out, and still frozen, left the man on the sidewalk, while Phoebe went into the backseat with her nephew, Wyatt, and Paige in the front seat. Soon, they left the house, to go to the wedding.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"We're here!" Piper said angrily, "Let's go!"

Paige knew immediately that something was going on, and seeing that there wasn't any people around to see her orb, she orbed to Piper's car door and stood there.

"PAIGE!" Piper screamed, "What have I told you about using magic in public?!"

"I'm sorry," Paige said, apologetic, "It's just, we need to know what's going on between you, nowadays, you're just so angry."

"I'm sorry," Piper sat still in her car, tears running down her cheeks, "It's just Prue's death day. It's just hectic to think about her."

"Oh honey," Phoebe said, reaching out to hug Piper, "We all miss her, we want her back too, but you're not going to get her back this way!"

"I wish," Piper said sobbing, "That there was a way to get her back!"

Paige looked through her window, seeing the pain that her two sisters had suffered. She had never seen or known Prue before. She only knew that Prue died, from saving Piper, while Phoebe was in the Underworld, with her ex husband, Cole, the old demonic human, and once the ruler of the Underworld. She shuddered at the thought of Cole. She never really liked him. She had always had the ability to feel if someone was bad or good, just from pure luck, but maybe faith. Ever since she had realized that she was a Charmed one, she had started to believe in Faith.

"Let's go," Paige said, silently, "We don't want to be late."

Piper looked up at her with teary eyes and sniffed, "Yeah, Phoebe, you grab Wyatt for me. Paige, you grab me for me."

Paige laughed and helped Piper get out of the car. Then, Piper got her tears dried and the three, with Wyatt, started walking in.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Once they came in the room, they were greeted with people and they pulled Phoebe and Paige aside. Piper was left, standing alone and she heard an unexpected orb in the restroom behind her. She had hoped that she talked Chris out of demon hunting, but she expected Chris not to listen. She quickly went back there and started, "Chris, you idiot!"

Suddenly, she didn't see Chris, but Leo, her husband. He wasn't really called her ex husband, just he left her alone for a couple weeks already, to see how she would interact. Unexpectedly, she hugged him, hard. She suddenly burst into sobs, burying her head into Leo's shoulder. "I don't know what to do now! I want Prue back! I don't even know why I even agreed to this wedding!!"

"I know," Leo said quietly, "I felt your pain up there. I know how you feel. And I also know how to hate to hunt demons, but the demons have come to hunt you. He's here, at this wedding. I'll be here, but the demon is strong, way stronger than Belthazar."

Piper knew, that inside, she was a witch, but she had promised herself not to get into these demon things, especially when her son, Wyatt was in the presence. Belthazar, was one demon, that she absolutely feared. He was also known as Cole, in his human form. Belthazar was the love of Phoebe's life, and it almost killed her, not intentionally, but due to the fact that Cole's always going to have Belthazar inside of him, and will never be good. Even thought he's dead, Piper knows that there are some other demons or even warlocks even stronger than Belthazar.

Leo led her in, "There's going to be some help though. Chris is off tracking where the monster is, and there's going to be help. I heard the Elders talking about it. They said she's coming down from her planet to help us."

"Whoa?" Piper cut in, "The Elders? I thought you were an Elder?"

"No," Leo shook his head, and reaching to touch Piper on the cheek, "I realized, that my family was more than anything to me. So, I told that to the Elders and the Elders cut my privileges of being an Elder down, so I'm only a Whitelighter again, but it's just that I have more training."

Piper looked so happy as Leo presented the news. So Leo did care about her, she thought. She hugged Leo again and they suddenly drew apart. "Oh no," Leo said, "The demon is here. Let's just hope some help will be provided."

Piper nodded, and hanging onto Leo, they orbed to find their sisters.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They were right, there were broken pieces of everything scattered everywhere. Piper froze it, and saw Phoebe and Paige, lying on the ground, full of blood. "Oh God," Piper said, covering up her mouth, "Quick Leo! Heal them!"

Leo rushed over to the girls' side and took out both his hands, on for each sister. They both healed at the same time and woke up slowly. "What happened?" Paige asked, with her hand on her head, "Ow, my head!"

"Oh my," Phoebe said, getting up, "That demon was lethal! Me and Paige couldn't take him out!"

"Don't worry," Leo popped in, "Hopefully, if the Elders are right, there's going to be help coming on the way."

"WHERE'S WYATT?!" Piper gasped.

"Look!" Paige pointed. Everyone looked to see where Paige was pointing and gasped. There was Wyatt, in the arms of a Level 5 demon, the highest level of demon. Wyatt seemed to be unconscious, lying there, with no movement. Suddenly, someone kicked open the window and jumped down, back facing the three sisters and Leo, with it facing the demon.

"I've been looking all over for you, demon," She said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, if you give me the baby, then I'll let you live."

Paige quickly yelled, "Knife," but the demon already heard and pinned them to the ground with a heavy desk. The girl seemed alarmed. She flung him back with a wave of the hand, and Piper just happened to be watching everything.

The girl flung the demon back a couple times and soon, the demon started yelling in pain. The demon dropped Wyatt, and the girl soared to catch him. After the demon has vanished, she ran over to where Paige, Piper, Phoebe, and Leo were laying. She flung the table off them, and woke Leo up. Piper, seeing her put down the baby, and walking to the sisters, she managed to squeak, "Prue?"

"No," She whispered, "But, Prue will be here soon."

Then, she disappeared.
