SIX
Leo orbed in as soon as the girls called for him.
"What is it?" he asked. "I wasn't quite finished with the Elders yet."
"Not time to explain," said Phoebe. "Just go get Jennifer and bring her here."
"What?" questioned Leo. "Phoebe, what's going on?"
"Hurry," snapped Phoebe. "She's in danger."
Leo didn't know what was going on but he heard the urgency in Phoebe's voice. He orbed out immediately without asking another question.
"Is it a good idea to bring her here?" questioned Piper.
"She's an innocent," said Phoebe. "And she needs our protection. We can protect her best here."
"I think it's safe to assume that warlock may follow her," said Prue. "Pheebs is right. If we have to protect her, this is the best place."
Suddenly, Leo orbed in with Jennifer. She looked frightened and confused. Phoebe moved over to comfort her.
"It's a good thing Phoebe sent me," said Leo. "A warlock was after her."
"I know," said Phoebe, "I saw it. That's why I sent you to get her."
"What....what's going on?" stammered Jennifer.
"You're safe," said Phoebe. "These are my sisters, Prue and Piper. We're going to protect you."
"Who....what are you?" demanded Jennifer. "What's going on here? Some guy just appears in my dressing room demanding the manuscript for my new book. Then he," she looked over at Leo, "just kind of appeared and now I'm here. I must be loosing my mind."
"No, you're not," said Piper. "This is going to be a little hard to explain."
"Things like this don't happen," said Jennifer. "They only happen in books or movies. None of this can be real."
"It's quite real," said Phoebe. "But like I said, we're going to protect you. You're safe here."
"I know you," said Jennifer, looking at the sisters. "All of you. That's where I've seen you before. You're the three sisters in my dreams."
"Not dreams," said Leo. "What you think have been dreams are really periods of clairvoyance. You've been seeing them in your dreams because your power is only now beginning to manifest itself."
"She's a witch?" asked Prue.
"Yes," said Leo. "That's what the Elders discovered about her. It was thought her line died out decades ago. But apparently one of her ancestors survived. Her witch powers lay dormant until recently."
"A witch?" questioned Jennifer. "No, that can't be. Witches don't exist. They aren't real. They're just myths and legends."
"Oh, we're real alright," said Prue. "And right now you're in danger. That warlock may follow you here and we have to be ready for him."
"You think he's got any friends with him?" asked Phoebe.
"Not likely," said Leo. "Warlocks tend to work alone as a rule. They don't like sharing power."
"Okay," said Prue. "Piper, why don't you take Jennifer into the kitchen and make some tea or something. Leo, you and Phoebe go check the Book of Shadows. Maybe that warlock is in there. It might give us a vanquishing spell or potion we can use against him."
"I'll look," said Leo, "but I doubt he's in there. Only the most powerful warlocks would be listed in the Book of Shadows."
"It can't hurt to look," said Prue.
Before anyone could move, a man dressed in all black suddenly appeared in the entryway. He was holding a dagger in one hand.
"If I can't have that information," he said sinisterly, "no one gets it."
He raised the dagger and threw it directly at Jennifer
