The Power Of Sisters
Chapter 9: To Trust, Or Not To Trust
Piper heard the old grandfather clock chime. "Oh no! I've got to go, I have to get to Quake!" Piper said, as the noise knocked her from her trance.
"But Piper, you heard Melinda! A warlock is after us, whatever that is, and it might try to kill us unless we can get to it first!" Paige said.
"Paige, I can't be late on the first day!" Piper said, with a scowel.
"Fine, we're coming with you then!" Paige said. She looked at Prue. "Right, Prue?" Paige probed.
Prue slowly nodded. "As much as I hate to admit it, you're probably right. If whatever happening is really for real, we should stick together!" Prue said. 'What am I saying?' She thought, as she listened to the words escape her mouth.
"Fine, just hurry!" Piper said, as she grabbed her coat.
Prue grabbed her coat, along with Paige's coat, and tossed the coat to Paige. "What do we do with this?" She asked, as she held up the Book of Shadows.
"Here!" Paige said. She grabbed the book from Prue and raced up the stairs, to the attic, set the book down, then ran back to her sisters. She was breathing heavily. "Remind me not to do that much running in a short amount of time, ever again!" Paige said. Paige put on her coat. "Ready!" She announced.
"We'll take one car." Prue said. "My car." She added.
Piper rolled her eyes. 'Prue always was way over protective.' She thought. "Fine!" She said, as she ran out the door.
Prue and Paige walked out to meet Piper.
Prue opened the doors and got into the driver's seat, waited for her sisters to get seated, then drove off.
*****20 Minutes Later*****
Prue parked her car and then sisters hopped out of the car.
"Two minutes!" Piper squeeled. She raced through the front doors of Quake.
"I hope I don't act like that when I'm stressed." Prue said.
"Well, you two are sisters...." Paige said.
Prue rolled her eyes and placed her arm around Paige's shoulders. "So are you. We are all sisters, I don't care if your half or whole or one tenth! You and Piper are all the sisters I need!" She said.
"Thanks!" Paige said, as she strolled into Quake, with Prue.
Prue walked over to a small bar and sat down. She looked at the bar tender. "Cherry coke, please. No ice." She said.
The bar tender nodded and looked at Paige, who'd just sat down. "Anything for you, Miss?" He asked.
"Mineral water." Paige answered.
"Make that two cherry cokes." A male voice said, from behind Prue.
Prue's eyes lit up. "Andy!" She exclaimed, as she whriled around to find him.
"Hey! Nice seeing ya, again!" Andy said, as he took a seat next to Prue.
"Ditto!" Prue answered.
"Andy! As in, Andy Trudeau, Prue's high school sweetheart?" Paige asked.
"Yeah! Hey Paige, nice seeing you again!" Andy said, with a wave.
Paige smiled. 'Wait, what if he is a warlock! After all, it is kinda weird that he comes back after I invoke our powers!' Paige thought. Her smiled faded. 'Oh no, anyone could be a warlock of demon or whatever! Anyone in this room, even that guy Piper is dating!' Paige thought. She placed her hand on her head, to much to think about at one time.
"Paige, are you okay?" Prue asked.
Paige smiled. "Yeah...just uh...a little tired." She lied. 'Melinda said I can sense the presence of evil...But I do not even remember sensing any kind of evil today.' Paige thought. She considered it for a moment. 'But I did get that really bad feeling from that Jeremy guy when I shook his hand. Maybe if I got close enough to Andy I could sense him? But then again, it might have been nothing earlier....' Paige thought. 'Worth a shot anyway.' She finally decided. She stood up and walked up to Andy. "Nice seeing you again." She said, as she held out her hand.
Andy smiled and shook her hand. "Yeah, you too." He answered.
'Nothing.' Paige thought. 'No bad feeling or anything.' She thought. "Well, I'll be right back. Ladies' room." Paige said. She didn't really need to go to the restroom, she just needed an excuse. She walked off into the crowd.
"So, how are those murder investigations going?" Prue asked, once she and Andy were alone.
"No closer to finding the murderer. But like I said, we think they're all witches, or practise witchcraft. They all have these weird symbols somewhere on their bodies; a cirlce with three interlocking arcs." Andy said. "But I can't wait to find this jackass, nobody deserves to be killed for their beliefs." He said.
"So, you're okay with witchcraft?" Prue asked, in a curious tone.
"No! I don't understand how people can practise it, with all those weird spells and all, I don't believe in it. But just because I don't believe in it, doesn't make it okay for people to be murdered because of what they believe in." Andy clarified.
"I see." Prue answered. She felt like someone ripped something right out of her. 'I just will not tell him then.' Prue thought. She opened her mouth to say something when she saw Paige returning. "Okay?" Prue asked.
Paige nodded. "Yep. Hey, Prue, can I talk to you alone for a sec?" Paige asked.
Prue nodded. "Uh, sure, excuse us for a moment." Prue said, as she looked at Andy.
Prue and Paige walked to the corner of the room.
"What?" Prue asked, in an annoyed tone.
"Prue! Andy he could...uh..isn't it strange that he came back after I invoked our powers?" Paige asked.
"No, he's investigating the murders that have been taking place here." Prue said, with a roll of her eyes.
"Well...you said you saw him earlier, then he shows up at Piper's new job!" Paige said.
"So?" Prue asked.
"So! Well...." Paige's voice trailed off.
"No way! No freakin' way, he can't be a warlock!" Prue snapped. Anger began to rise within her. "No, Paige, don't even think it!" Prue said. Prue's gaze shifted from Paige to Andy. "Nope, no way, I refuse to believe it!" Prue said.
"But Prue!" Paige protested.
"No buts!" Prue snapped. She had her vision focused on an empty bar stool now. Suddenly the stool crashed to the floor.
"Prue..Calm down, your power seems to activate whenever you're mad." Paige said.
Prue took a few deep breaths. "Then don't make me any madder." Prue said, as she walked back to Andy.
Paige sighed and was about to follow Prue when she saw Jeremy enter Quake. 'Uh oh...I so am not liking him so far.' Paige thought. She watched as he waited by the kitchen for a momnet, then she saw Piper come out. She looked really happy. 'I wonder what they are talking about?' Paige mentally asked herself, as she saw Piper's lips move and then Jeremy's lips move; but the noise was too high to hear, plus, she was too far away.
Piper looked across the room and saw Paige. "Hold on a sec." She said, then kissed Jeremy. She walked over to Paige. "Hey! I just got off, Jeremy wants to take me somewhere! I'll be home, A.S.A.P." Piper said.
"But Piper! Warlocks!" Paige said.
"No, Jeremy is the sweetest guy ever! Plus you heard Melinda, I can freeze stuff if anything goes wrong." Piper said.
"But you can't control it!" Paige protested.
"Don't worry!" Piper said, with a laugh. Before Paige could get another word in, Piper rushed back to Jeremy.
"Finally!" Jeremy said, with a grin. He kissed Piper and led her out of Quake, to his car. He opened the door. "Please step in, Ma' Lady." He said.
Piper giggled and stepped into the car and blew Jeremy a kiss, as he shut the door.
Jermey walked around the car to the driver's side, got in, and started the car. "I have the best place to take you!" He said, as he started to drive off.
Paige shook her head. 'That guy is so not right!' Paige thought. 'I need to tell Prue...' She mentally screamed. TO BE CONTINUED....
