"A night not so long ago, but yet it seems like it happened a lifetime ago, a little girl stood gazing at the stars. The little girl was the daughter of a millionaire and a thief. She was not well liked and was always in the shadows. To all of the citizens of the US, she was known to be mysterious and shy. She was not tall compared to the corn stacks surrounding her. Yet in the middle of the night in the exact middle of the cornfield, she easily stood out. She was all alone, waiting. Waiting for something to come, maybe it came and maybe it didn't. Maybe that little girl, barley even five, was taken somewhere happy, but chances are she wasn't. The child's body was never found, she may be still lurking around in the cornfields waiting for what was supposed to be there, and maybe she is safe, but the chances are she's not. The tragedy affected everyone. The note she left behind was barley readable but was easily understood. She would come back for those who gave her pain and sorrow." A woman, with shoulder-length hair, whispered to three little children. The children were probably around the tender ages of three to five.

She was sitting on a lounge chair well the two sat on the floor staring at her with fear-full eyes. One the floor the little boy, who looked smaller than the girl sitting next to him, sat and chattered his teeth. The girl sitting next to him was shaking her poor heart out. The other sat on her lap, hugging the women almost crying. The women rocked the young little girl in her lap, while she finished the story.

"Phoebe, stop scaring them," another women almost identical to the one women, ordered while gliding into the room. The little girl who was sitting on the floor got up and ran to the woman, who was now standing by the door.

"Mommy, Auntie Phoebe is scaring me," the little girl informed in a very little child's voice. Pulling on her mother's skirt she yawned, "I tired, we go bed now?"

"Pheebs, you're going to give them nightmares AGAIN!" the women yelled at Phoebe, who was still rocking the now drifting asleep little girl.

"Piper, it's fine, Prue told it to us when we were their ages. It's no big deal." Phoebe declared now standing up, with the little child in her arms.

The little boy looked at the two grown women and asked, " Can I hear rest of story?"

"Sorry, Paden, Piper won't let me," Phoebe replied blaming Piper.

"What's up?" another women with bright red hair questioned coming in through the back door. She then realized right away what was happening here.

"Just another daily battle for Phoebe to stop telling the kids horror stories," Piper exclaimed.

"They're not horror stories! Paige I think Piper is going ballistic over nothing," this Phoebe stated this in direct to the women who just came in.

"I'll just leave it to you to. Paden, Patience, and Phoebe hand me Petrina," Paige ordered. Paden came and the little girl holing on to Piper named Patience came to Paige. Then Phoebe handed the little toddler, Petrina over to Paige. Now Paige said in a baby voice, " Now, we need to go to beddy-bye. Say night-night."

"Night-night mommy," Patience spoke tiredly.

"Night, you mean old witches," Paden joked with Piper and Phoebe.

"Paden!" Phoebe and Piper shouted at the same time.

"Love ya all," Paden screamed running through the halls heading for the stairs that lead him up to his room. Right away Piper and Phoebe forgot about their little argument and chased after the little boy.

Suddenly when Paden was running up the stairs Cole came around the wall, and Paden practically ran into him. "Whoa, slow down there," Cole said in a very slow-motion voice well grabbing Paden, who was running past.

"Daddy, let me go," Paden screamed.

Phoebe and Piper just ran into the main hall way and started laughing hysterically watching Cole pick up Paden, who was screeching at his father.

"Enough, Cole drop Paden, Paden go get ready for bed," Phoebe exclaimed, still trying to hold in the laughter.

Cole placed his son's butt on the ground carefully. Paden looked annoyed and angry that his plans were mislead. Paden then trudged to his room.

"Night peoples," Paden called while he was walking to his room.

"Good night, sleep tight," Piper, Paige, and Cole called after him.

"I'll be in after a sec babe," Called Phoebe and rushed over to her room and got in her PJs and got ready to tell Paden his bedtime story.

Cole took Petrina from Paige, and headed up to Petrina and Patience's room to put Petrina to sleep.

Piper took Patience to the little girls' room after Cole had gotten Petrina in her bed and to sleep.

After the youngsters were sleeping Phoebe, Piper, Paige, Cole, and Piper's husband Leo were downstairs talking at the dinner table.

"Any interesting things happen in anyone's day?" Paige asked innocently.

"I guess I'm not aloud to speak, since everything is interesting in my days work!" Leo exclaimed. Paige hit in playfully in the shoulder.

"Let's see, I saw a demon when I woke up, then again at Lunch, dinner, and I feel one rubbing my neck!" Phoebe added joking. Everyone laughed, and Cole wrapped his arms around her chest.

After the laughing stopped and the clock chimed midnight, everyone hurried to their rooms. Phoebe with Cole, Piper and Leo, and the single one Paige all went to sleep with laughter filling their dreams.
