The Power Of Sisters
Chapter 6: Something Smells Wiccany
"....will not be allowed to see the Charmed Ones until further notice. That means you will no longer be able to watch over them, you will no longer be informed on what they are doing or how they are, and you will under no circumstances be able to visit them!" Shamon said, in a loud and very stern tone, with no emotion at all.
Patty let out a small gasp of breath. 'No! No, this cannot be happening! I have to be able to watch over them, to make sure they are okay, especially now that they have recieved their powers!' Patty thought, as panic shot through her.
Penny squeezed her hand again. She refused to give The Elders any sign of the weakness or pain that she was feeling. 'No, I will not give it to them.' She thought. "Fine, then we'll go going now." Penny said.
"Remember, no contact! If we catch you trying, then the punishment will be much more severe." Shamon warned.
Penny sighed, keeping a tight hold on her daughter's hand, then made them disappear in a swirl of white lights.
Paige walked through the front doors of Charlie's, the restaraunt that she hadn't been in, in years. She breathed in the sweet aroma of fresh bread and hot coffee. 'Still smells the same.' Paige thought. She looked around and spotted her older sister, Piper, sitting at a table far in the back of the room; where nobody else seemed to be. Paige briskly walked over to the table and plopped down next to Piper. "Hey!" She said, in a warm tone.
"Hey. D'ya wanna order anything, I can pick up the tab." Piper offered.
"Ya sure?" Paige asked.
"Yeah, of course!" Piper said. "I just got a new job, why not?" She asked.
"Congrats!" Paige replied, with a grin.
A waitress walked over to the table. "Excuse me, would you like to order something?" She asked.
Paige nodded. "Coffee please; some cream and one sugar cube." Paige said.
"A glass of root beer." Piper said.
The waitress nodded and wrote down the orders on a small notepad. "It'll be here shortly." She said, then walked away.
Piper turned back to Paige. "Now..umm...about the real reason we're here." Piper said, slowly.
Paige glanced around the room, nobody was near them. "Yeah, the real reason...." Paige whispered.
"I froze time!" Piper whispered.
"I disappeared!" Paige whispered, at the exact moment that Piper spoke.
"You what?!" Piper and Paige asked, in unison.
"I froze time!" Piper repeated.
"And I disappeared!" Paige said.
"But you're right here!" Piper said.
"And people are still moving!" Paige countered
"Let me explain. I was preparing food for Chef Moore, he gave me an hour. I was just about done, almost ready to put on the special sause, when he walked in and grabbed a spoonful of food without the sauce! I tried to tell him I need a few more second, but he wouldn't listen! I was so afraid he wouldn't like it; I began waving my hand, telling him to stop....Then he did, literally. He was frozen, like when you pause a movie. He just stopped; so did the sauce in my pan, and the clock on the wall. I thought it was a joke until I noticed everything else. I wasn't sure what the hell happened, but I put the sauce on the food anyway and stepped back, then he started moving and so did everything else. He loved it and hired me." Piper explained.
Paige stared at Piper in disbelief. "So much for the, 'no stopping time' thing." Paige muttered.
"What?" Piper asked, not quite catching the mutter.
"No, nothing...." Paige's voice trailed off. "Well today I was walking down the street and saw this little girl chasing after a ball in the street, I heard a car roaring down the street, straight for her. So I dove into the middle of the street and shoved the kid out of the way, moments before I was about to be hit I saw these fuzzing blue and white lookin' lights surround me out of the corner of my eye, then I like disappeared. When I reappeared, there were more little light things and then they vanished, and the car was behind me. The kid was safe though, she didn't see anything because she was too upset about her scraped knee. Nobody else was around, but then the girl's mom came out and got her!" Paige explained.
Piper stared at her baby sister in confusion. "No way!" Piper choked.
"Yes way, just as real as the time thing with you! Unless you're joking of course!" Paige replied.
"No way! That really happened to me." Piper said, with a shake of her head.
"Ditto!" Paige said.
The waitress returned to the table, setting a coffe in front of Paige, and a root beer in front of Piper. "I hope you enjoy your drinks. Will you be ordering anything else?" She asked.
'Yeah, a reasonable explaination.' Paige thought. She shook her head and smiled. "No thank you." She said.
"No, I'm fine right now." Piper said.
The waitress nodded. "I'll be back in a while with your check." She said, then walked away.
"Do you think it has anything to do with that book I found?" Paige asked.
"You mean that old one, in the attic? The Book of...Shades..or Shadows or whatever it was called?" Piper asked.
"Yeah!" Paige answered.
"Well...no...I mean, you didn't read anything out of it, did you?" Piper asked.
Paige's pale face flushed pink.
"You didn't, right?" Piper asked.
"Maybe...one little incantation or something..." Paige replied.
"Paige! You don't know a thing about that book! What happened?" Piper asked.
"This chilly breeze entered the room, then turned into a whirlwind type thing, and finally disappeared. I thought maybe I'd just imagined it though. Ya know, I was tired and everyone was upset. But I did feel some strange surge of something run though me last night." She said.
Piper covered her mouth and closed her eyes. "Me too..." She mumbled.
"What?" Paige asked. She reched over and pulled Piper's hand from her mouth.
"Me too. The surge of power." Piper answered.
The 2 sisters exchanged glances.
"Prue!" Piper and Paige gasped, in unison.
"I wonder if anything strange has happened to her?" Paige suggested.
The waitress returned to the table and laid a small piece of paper face down. "Thank you for coming to Charlie's." She said, with a smile, then walked away again.
Piper picked up the paper and looked at it. She pulled a 5 dollar bill from her purse and placed it on the table.
"Sheesh! How much was it?" Paige asked.
"Three dollars and fifty-two cents." Piper replied.
"Nice tip, I guess." Paige replied, trying to make small talk.
"Yeah." Piper said. She stood up and grabbed her sister's hand. "Come on, let's go try to catch Prue at Bucklands." Piper said.
Piper and Paige exited the building.
"My car is over there." Piper said, as she pointed across the street. "By the park." She clarified.
"Here, I'll drive you over there." Paige offered, as she opened the driver's door on her V.W. Bug. She clicked the button that unlocked the rest of the doors.
"Thanks." Piper said, as she climbed into the passenger side.
Paige drove her car to the other side of the road and then stopped, next to Piper's car. "Here we are." Paige said.
Piper got out of the car. "Thanks." She said. Piper began to fumble around in her purse for her car keys. "Now, do you know where Bucklands is?" Piper asked, without looking up from her purse.
"No." Paige replied. She looked over at some kids playing soccer on the park, suddenly the ball went flying straight for the back of Piper's head. "Piper!" Paige screamed.
Piper swirled around, instinctively placing her hands in front of her face to shield herself. Moments passed and she felt nothing. She slowly pulled her hands away from her face and stared at the black and white soccer ball, suspended in mid air, inches from her face. Piper gulped. "Oh God...." Piper muttered.
Paige stared at the frozen soccer ball, her eyes wide with awe. Then she saw some kids in the distance running towards Piper. "Piper! The ball, get it out of the air!" Paige hissed.
Piper shook her head and grabbed the soccer ball out of the air, just as some kids ran around a car, and caught sight of her.
"Hey Miss! Sorry about that, the ball got away from us, can you throw it back?" A tall girl with reddish hair asked.
Piper nodded. "Yeah, sure, just be more careful next time!" Piper said, as she tossed the ball towards the group of kids.
"We will, thanks!" A small, blonde boy called. He grabbed the soccer ball and ran off.
The group followed the blonde boy and then disappeared into the park.
Piper looked over at Paige, fear was evident in her eyes. "Now do you believe me?" Piper asked, breathlessly.
Paige just nodded.
"Hurry, follow my car!" Piper said. She reached into her back, this time successfully finding her keys, then inserting them in her car door. She quickly pulled them out, got inside, shut the door, and started the car. She pulled out and onto the main road.
Without hesitation, Paige followed Piper's car.
Both cars were going at the highest the speed. that the limit would allow. TO BE CONTINUED....
