"The Chosen Sisters."
Setting: San Fran., California. Summer of 2002. July.
Summary: The Charmed Ones must go against a new and mighty Source, who has already taken complete control over the Underworld in a short time.
Legal Stuff: This is a fan fiction. I am in no way related to the show. So suing me is pathetic. And if you work for the show, come up with better storylines. Please. Because the finale of S4 sucked. Thank you.
Piper was driving home after a long hard day at P3. A shipment had come late and when it did arrive half the new glasses were smashed. Lucky for Piper it was one of the few days P3 wasn't open, so she didn't stress out too much. She sighed and watched the road, wishing that she was already home. It was dark out and being the only one in the car was lonely on a night like this. Piper smiled a little; I'm not alone... I have little Melinda here. She rested her hand on her belly for a moment before reaching for the radio knob. She turned on the radio.
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me." The words came out of the radio in a low crackling hiss. Piper frowned as she watched the road. This was like the hundredth time she heard this saying today. First while watching the news, then the radio on the way to work, then during sound checks at P3, then now, and a million time in between. Sometime passerbies were even muttering this creepy line. Piper shuddered and changed the radio station, but it also repeated the words. In anger she turned the radio off.
For the rest of the car ride she drove in silence, without music.
"I'm home!" Piper called out to her sisters as she entered the house. Phoebe, Leo, and Paige all came from the kitchen to greet Piper. "What's up?" She asked hesitantly, noticing the upset faces. "What demon?"
Phoebe looked at Leo and bit her lip, "You should tell her." Paige nodded in agreement, her eyes giving away how upset she was over this.
Piper glanced at her sisters, and then to her husband. "Leo, honey? What's going on?" Her stomach had butterflies in it because of the way her family was acting.
"Maybe you should sit down for this..." He said.
"Dammit, Leo. I won't sit down. Now just tell me!" Her anger rising a little, anxiety getting to her.
Leo grabbed her hand lightly and gave it a light squeeze. "Piper. The Elders gave us some bad news.... There-there is a new Source.... And whoever he is, he's very powerful. He already has the whole Underworld in his complete control. It took the old Source decades to do that."
Piper looked at him blankly, trying to register this new upsetting information. She took her hand away from Leo and walked into the living room, her sisters and Leo following. Piper sat down on the couch and put her head in her hands.
"Piper? Please, say something." Paige asked gently a few moments after they had entered the room. "Please?"
All three of them watched her, knowing how this could be affecting the oldest Charmed One. Phoebe and Paige had acted the same way when Leo had told them, but they don't have to worry about the possibility of losing their baby. Piper, however, does.
"Another Source... Great, just great. I thought we already accomplished our destiny. Now there's a new freakin' Source!" Piper looked up at her younger sisters with eyes that were tearing up. "How-how can we do this again?! How?!"
Leo sat next to her and put his arms around her. She buried her head in his chest, crying. "Shhhh, it'll be okay. It will be. It'll be okay sweetie." He kissed the top of her head while his green eyes mirrored his worry.
