AN: I apologize in advance for the really short chapter, but I'll try to update even quicker to make up for it! And, I wanted to get it done before the Olympics started in my area. Oh, did any of you see Paul Hamm win the gold in gymnastics! That was cool! Oh, and I am American, just to let you know. Also, about the 'Russian Element' in gymnastics on the pommel horse, in the words of my announcer 'You just grab and keep on squeezing.' Isn't that the funniest thing?
piperleo4eva - Yes, poor Mel. Oh, and those two questions will be answered later, and thanks so much!
HollyShadow - Oh, you'll see how he died this chapter! I totally agree with you on the men thing.
winter blaze - Oh, you wondered who sang that? Oh, yeah! It was on the end of the fifth season premiere, wasn't it? Oh, and thanks!
charmed-aussie - Oh, yeah. I just realized that I haven't put those in yet. Um, you'll find them out next chapter, yup! Thanks for the review!
Chapter 4 (present):
.......
My world's on fire
It's more than I can handle
Tap into the water
And try to bring my share
....
Piper dropped the book immediately. She stood up quickly, and looked around. She saw no demons, and that puzzled her. 'Who, besides demons, would have fire power?' Piper thought. She looked down, and she gasped. Her hands were on FIRE.
Piper immediately panicked. She pressed her hands to her clothes to smother the fire, but when she pulled them away, they were still alit. She shook and shook her hands, trying to somehow blow out the fire. After about ten seconds of doing so, she stopped shaking her hands, and looked up. Many things were either frozen, blown up, or frozen in the middle of blowing up. "Oh, this is getting me nowhere." she groaned aloud. She looked down at her hands again, and realized that THEY DIDN'T HURT. This made her even more confused. "Leo!" she called, and then gasped. It would be way too awkward for him to come after last night.
Suddenly, blue-and-white glowing bubbles appeared, announcing the arrival of Leo. Piper put her shaking head in her still-burning hands. Leo looked around, and saw the messy room. He then saw Piper, sitting on a couch, right near a small fire. "Piper, what..." Leo started. "Happened?" Piper finished. "Go get my sisters. Don't ask, just go." she instructed, her head still in her hands. Leo left to retrieve Phoebe and Paige without a word more.
When Piper could here no more movement, she looked up. She noted all the damage in the room. "My sisters are going to love me." she murmured sarcastically. She looked at the burning book. 'If only I could touch the fire extinguisher.' Piper thought, as she looked at everything. 'Or, better yet, if only I could touch anything.' she added in her mind. Then, something sparked in her mind. She rubbed her hands together, to see if that would get rid of the flames. She pulled her hands away, and they were still on fire. "Great, just great." she said to herself, as she ran her fingers through her hair.
Just then, Leo came back, with her sisters in tow. He left immediately afterwards, to go check with the Elders. "What the hell happened here?" Phoebe asked. She and Paige were looking around the room in awe. "It looks like a demon with some serious power attacked." Paige said, investigating a plant frozen in mid-explosion. "Oh my God, did it?" Phoebe asked. "No." Piper said simply. "What?!?" Phoebe and Paige asked in unison. "Um... hello? Look over here." Piper said, grabbing her sisters' attention. The two looked at her hands, and their mouths fell open. "What the..." "Yup. My freakin' powers are on the fritz!" Piper exclaimed, extremely frustrated.
Just then, Leo orbed into the room. "I checked with the Elders." he stated. "And, they say that it's a new power. But..." "What?" Piper interrupted. "You weren't supposed to get it for a while." Leo finished. "What? Then how the hell did I get it now? And, did they say how to put the damn flames out?" Piper asked. "They don't know, or they wouldn't tell me. I don't know which. For either. I think you're supposed to figure it out for yourself."
"Oh, great." Piper said sarcastically, turning away from Leo and towards her sisters. No matter how mad she was right then, she still felt awkward around him. "Have you tried putting water on them?" Paige suggested. Piper looked at her with an 'are you serious?' look on her face. "Paige, I can't touch anything." Piper said, clapping her hands together, and keeping them there. "Do you really think I would have been able to get into the kitchen or bathroom without setting the room on fire?" As she said 'room', Piper let her right hand slide, so the palms were still against each other, but the heel of her right hand was on top of where her fingers started on her left hand.
"Sorry, Piper." Paige said, a bit intimidated. "It's just kind of hard when your sister has flames coming out of her hands." "Oh, I'm sorry, Paige. I'm just a little frustrated." Piper apologized, reaching up to bring her hand through her hair again. Phoebe, Paige, and Leo stared at her hands again. "What?" Piper asked, noticing their looks. She then followed their gaze, and looked at her hands. There weren't flames anymore. "How did this happen?" she asked, looking at everyone else. She just got blank, unknowing stares.
Suddenly, they heard a crash from upstairs. "Boys!" All four looked at each other, bewildered. They had no clue who that voice was coming from, but they knew where. It was coming from the attic, and the voice was definitely female. They began creeping their way up the stairs, not knowing what awaited them in the attic.
....
AN: Again, I apologize for the incredibly short chapter, but I couldn't think of anything else to write! Also, I bet you can't guess who said 'Boys!' Note the sarcasm. The next chapter should come soon, as I have it's shape and stuff in my mind. Please review, and the bit at the beginning is from World on Fire by Sarah McLachlan!
