"Piper? Paige? Are you guys home?" Phoebe Halliwell yelled to her sisters as she came through the front door of the Halliwell Manor.
"Is anybody here?"
"Yes, yes I'm here. What do you need with all of your yelling?" Paige Matthews asked, coming down the stairs.
"Well I was wondering if any of you were here when Jason called." Phoebe said.
"Jason didn't call and I was home all day."
"What?!?!? He didn't call? You aren't serious? He didn't call?"
"No Phoebe he didn't call, why?"
"He was supposed to call and ask me out to this really fancy restaurant. Well that relationship is over." Phoebe said sadly.
"Oh Phoebe he probably-" Paige didn't get to finish because suddenly they both heard a high shriek from upstairs. "DEMON!!!!!!" They heard Piper yell.
Both Paige and Phoebe dashed upstairs to aid Piper in the new demonic killing that has been placed upon them.
"Where's the demon?" Paige asked as she entered the attic.
"Gone." Piper said with a heavy sigh of relief as she walked over to get her crying son, Wyatt.
"What'd he look like so I can go and find him in the book." said Paige.
"Well I've never seen this type of demon before. It wasn't a warlock or shapeshifter and it was wearing really ugly armor. It was also very deformed, but had all facial features." Piper said over the noise of her crying child.
"I've never heard of a demon that protects itself with armor." Phoebe said chuckling a little.
"Me neither." Agreed Paige. "But I'll check anyway." Paige headed upstairs to the attic.
"Oh! I almost forgot! Piper, I bought some books for you to read to Wyatt." Phoebe pulled two books out of the shopping back on her arm. "The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. The Lord of the Rings might be a little much for him, but the hobbit will be good."
Piper examined them critically before taking them. "Phoebe, I read the Lord of the Rings in high school and I got nightmares. I'm not reading that to Wyatt now. But I'll start on The Hobbit. It was very nice of you to get them for him." Piper reached out to take the books. As soon as she touched them, Phoebe froze.
Phoebe's premonition.....
A man, dressed in all black with a huge ??mace?? walks out of a large evil looking black gate. He pulls a ring off his hand and says something in a language that made Phoebe's blood run cold. A small door appeared out of thin air and the most hideous, evil looking creature walked through it and into the manor. She saw Piper blow up the thing. Then, a new face appeared. It was a woman, and her hair was like a glowing river of gold. She was dressed in all white and it seemed like she had a star on her finger. "That was an orc." The woman said. "And the man in black was Sauron. He is rising. You must help us defeat him. If he is sending his minions to your world, that means he doesn't just wish to destroy all that is good in Middle Earth, but everywhere. Do not let him hurt you or your sisters or your sister's son. Three will aid you, but if you want aid, you must ask. Phoebe briefly saw three faces flash before her eyes. You will not fail us. At least keep him from invading the other worlds. We will take care of our own.
End premonition.
"Phoebe? What is it? What did you see?" Piper asked worriedly.
"Bring Wyatt to the attic." Phoebe said. "We've got to talk to Paige."
When they got up to the attic Paige told them that she couldn't find anything in the Book of Shadows about an armor wearing demon.
"Just shut that book Paige we aren't going to find our demon in there. This demon is from Middle Earth." Phoebe told her sister.
"Middle Earth? Do you mean Lord of the Rings Middle Earth?" Paige questioned.
"Yes. Apparently Phoebe had a premonition about Sauron trying to rid both his world and other worlds of good." Piper told her sister unbelievingly.
"Piper I know you don't believe this but it's true. And we can also ask for three aids from Middle Earth but they will only come if they are asked."
"Phoebe I think you're going crazy. Middle Earth is just a made up place it doesn't exist." Paige said
"Don't be so sure about that." Said Leo, their very trusty white lighter, Pipers husband and Wyatt's daddy.
"So let me guess, you have come to tell us that this is true and that we have to find some unknown way to vanquish this thing before he takes away our good and all hell brakes loose?" Piper asked Leo
"If you just want to cut to the chase then...yea you're right."
"Well there goes another shot to have a normal life." Piper said yet again disappointed.
"Piper, we're witches, we are never going to have a normal life, ever!" Phoebe hissed at her.
"Well you can't blame a girl for trying."
Paige closed the book with a snap. "So, let's say Middle Earth is real and Phoebe did have a premonition and Sauron did send a demon-"
"Not a demon." Phoebe corrected. "An orc."
"Even better." Paige said exasperated. "So Sauron sent an orc to the manor and someone said we could have three people to help us but only if we asked? What I want to know is, how the heck are we supposed to ask three people to visit us from a completely different world?"
"Well, I'd have to say three is your lucky number, so I'm sure you'll find a way. But they're calling. I'll stop in later." Leo began to turn into spots of sparkling blue light.
"Leo! LEO get back here!" But Leo was already gone. "Great. Just great."
