Here's more, sorry about the wait (been busy with my LOTR story)!
Chapter 6
"Okay, could you tell me why you woke me up at four in the morning, please?" Paige demanded, lazily covering her mouth as she let out a tired yawn. She followed her older sister, trudging down the stairs into the foyer, both of them still in their pajamas, the younger of the two in hopes that it meant she would be soon returning to her bed.
Phoebe whirled around to face her, much more awake than she had been upon answering her phone and certainly more than Paige was now. "Darryl is on his way," she explained, absently snatching a throw pillow off the nearby couch and fluffing it needlessly.
Paige propped a fist up on her hip. "Perhaps we should explain to him that I haven't been nocturnal since that whole vampire mishap."
"He, uh…" Phoebe trailed off, setting down the cushion again. "He called a few minutes ago. Or actually…had someone call us." Paige stared at her, disinterested. "You need to sit." Phoebe placed her hands on the younger woman's shoulders, guiding her into the living room and forcing her to plop into an overstuffed armchair.
"Phoebe, what happened?" she asked, more curious at this point.
"I think…" Phoebe visibly hesitated. "I think…our spell may have worked."
Paige sat still in complete silence for several seconds, offering no reaction. Phoebe was about to repeat herself when she spoke. "I beg your pardon?"
A loud knock-more resembling a bang really, sounded, cutting off Phoebe's answer. Nervously they both rose to their feet again and the eldest crossed the hardwood floor to the front doors, shakily pulling the left one open and letting it stand ajar.
Darryl stood on the front porch, drenched by the steady downpour that had been falling since the sisters had returned home earlier that evening. He looked somewhat frustrated, Phoebe wouldn't have described it as anger. But there was a sense of fascination as well…and fear.
"I had no idea," he began, his breathing labored, most likely from rushing over from the station. "No idea that you guys had this kind of power," he finished. He gulped in another breath. "And if I had any idea, I certainly didn't think you would use it."
Phoebe averted her gaze, almost ashamed, now noticing that Paige had moved up behind her. She returned her eyes to the Lieutenant who had now stepped aside to reveal the person standing behind him.
Piper's dark eyes stared at Phoebe, somewhat blankly, her long hair plastered to her forehead by the heavy rain. She heard the small gasp from Paige and felt rather than saw her lift her hand to her mouth in shock. Phoebe simply continued to gaze at her older sister, stunned into silence.
"You wanna explain this?" Darryl questioned.
