A/N: Hey, to all who reviewed, thanks so much! Here's the second
chapter...well, not quite, anyway, hold on just a second....
Vampireofthebloodmoon: Thank you for your review, and I have to say, I'm into it, too. I have been for several years. I think that may be what attracted me to the show Charmed in the first place. I like to look for accuracies sometimes too...I don't know. Guess I get far too bored than any one person needs to be, huh?
Well, anyway, on with the story!

Chapter Two
"I need names, people!" Paige clapped. "I know you're Melanie..." she pointed to a brownette girl. "What about you three?" she asked.
The blonde girl stepped forward. "I'm Regan. The red head sitting on your couch is Sara, and over there, with the short brown hair is Anna." She introduced them all.
"I still need to know what you all can do. Notice there's only two of us?" Paige smiled. "And, you see...the tribunal sort of took away Phoebe's active powers, so we're going to need your help."
"Well," it was Melanie who spoke. "I have this sort of telekinesis thing going on..." she began.
"Explain?" Phoebe's interest was immediately drawn.
"Err...that vase...throw it at me, or something..." she pointed. Paige shrugged and did as she was asked. Melanie held out her hand. "Stop!" she yelled. The vase stopped midair. "Go on...go back..." she pointed, and the vase slowly floated back to its spot on the mantle.
"Pretty good!" Phoebe clapped.
"What about you? Sara?" asked Paige.
Melanie shrugged. "Sara throws energy balls."
"That's a demonic power." Paige stepped back.
"Not fire balls, silly. This is good energy...most of the time. It hurts anything she throws it at that's trying to hurt us...like demons and stuff..."
Paige shook her head. "And stuff? I'm not going to ask...next?"
"I can teleport," Regan raised her hand. "It's kind of like what the white lighters do...minus the orbs..." she explained. She demonstrated.
"That will definitely be useful if we run into any demons." Paige nodded. "Anna? You're the last one."
Anna looked down at the ground.
"Hey Paige..." Melanie whispered. "There's something about Anna you don't know. She just found out about her...um...heritage about a week ago. One of the demons that's chasing us killed her mother. She was the witch in the family, I guess. Anna's kind of sore about it, for obvious reasons, and she doesn't have any active powers yet..."
Regan smiled. "But the girl is good. She can make up a spell for just about any situation right off the top of her head. It's pretty amazing!"
"That takes some of the weight off our shoulders." Paige whispered to Phoebe. "Leo! Hey! Get down here, buddy! We need to ask you something! Chris? One of you get down here before I come up there!" she warned them.
Both of them orbed down almost immediately. "What is it now? Are these your charges?" Leo asked.
"Charges? We didn't know she was actually a white lighter. Don't they have to be dead?" Regan wondered out loud.
Paige frowned. "Yes, that's supposed to be a prerequisite, but apparently, the elders like playing cruel jokes," she said under her breath.
"Well, what do you need?" Chris demanded. "We have work to do! We have to figure out who it is that's trying to turn Wyatt evil, and if we don't figure it out...well, at least I know what's going to happen..." he smirked.
Phoebe blinked. "I didn't think you two were speaking to each other?"
"That's not the point! What is it?" demanded Chris hotly.
"The Illusion demons. They're back from hell, and they're after these witches. Problem is, how do we vanquish them if we've already vanquished them...and no, don't even ask me to call Piper down here, because it's way too dangerous..." Paige warned.
"Well, my suggestion would be to try however it is that you vanquished them the last time. If that doesn't work, find them, and Chris and I will be happy to take them home for you," Leo smiled.
Despite Paige's wishes that Piper stay where she was, Piper suddenly appeared before them. "What is it?" she asked. Her belly was now very visible. She looked as if she might pop at any moment. "I hear problems..."
"Aren't you supposed to be at school? Go away before one of those stupid demons comes in here! It's too dangerous. The Illusion demons are back, Piper." Phoebe explained. "You should go. If they got a grip on you, it's like killing two birds with one stone..."
Piper grimaced. "I absolutely loved the way you put that. Fine, I'm gone. But I'm coming straight back down here as soon as Chris is born." She vowed, and again disappeared.
Chris shivered. "Man, it's going to be so weird to have to watch myself being born..." He paused as the doorbell rang. He ran to answer it. It was Darryl. "Come in, Darryl. The girls aren't that busy at the moment..." he glanced at them. For once, what he said was true. They weren't busy.
Darryl stepped into the house. "Hello Phoebe, Paige." He smiled. "You're under arrest."
Leo stepped back. "What in the..." he gasped. "Darryl, I know you said you wouldn't cover for them anymore, but what is all this for?" he demanded. "If you put them in jail, these girls will be in some very serious trouble. Demons, Darryl..." Leo whispered.
"Well then, that certainly changes things." Smirked Darryl. "You're all under arrest then." He looked at the four girls that were still standing in the living room. They all looked shocked.
"Darryl...think about what you're doing..." Paige whispered, a note of warning in her voice.
"I say we take him out!" Melanie announced.
Phoebe held up her hands. "No! We can't get in any more trouble with the tribunal! If Paige looses her powers, we would be in some really deep..." she paused, as she hoped everyone would understand. They all nodded, and looked at Darryl.
"You're coming quietly, then?" he smirked.
They nodded, and quietly followed Darryl to the police car waiting outside.
