A/N: These first weeks of school have been terrible and I'm so sorry that I haven't updated (it's been to hectic). Oh! Look at all the reviews! This chapter is another shortie. (So I'll post 2 chapters.) Jenny: Hmm.....You're the only one who mentioned Piper. charmedrox: Yeah, I loved writing the part about the "red haired kid" too. lol Kids like that annoy me and I would just love to do something like what Pearl did. But I just can't seem to activate those powers that I'm sure I have locked up somewhere deep within my mind. ::rolls eyes and then notices that I'm getting odd looks:: Uh, okay, moving on.... : Thanks for reviewing! charmedsisters: Again, sorry. Hopefully you won't hate me too much for this chapter.. LeoPiperAndyPrue: Sorry about the shortness! And yes, in due time, you'll discover all. ::thunder booms behind us:: Chrios: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep it in mind. ;) peanut2lb: Maybe you'll learn the Persia mystery in this chapter? Maybe you won't? Guess you'll have to read it. Hey, I'm glad you liked Pandora's spell. I loved writing it. Writing for the kids (especially young ones) is so fun! They're hilarious! (P.S. I suggest you read everything very carefully. Especially that last chapter.)

The Blessed Ones
Chapter 3: The Troubles With Telepaths

Paige looked from Phoebe to Persia. "Oh...I may not be empathic, but I can so tell there is a bunch of tension here!" Paige said. "Please, come inside, both of you!" Paige said, phrasing it more as an order, than a request.

Phoebe held Persia's gaze for a moment and then turned and walked back inside.

Persia followed, not knowing what would happen.

Paige sat down, with Pandora in her lap, on the couch.

Phoebe plopped down next to Paige and Pandora.

"Please, sit down." Paige said, as she motioned to the chairs.

Persia smiled and sat down. She then looked to Phoebe again.

Phoebe cringed. Those eyes....They are so different and so the same..... Phoebe thought.

"From your expression, I guess you know partly, why I'm here." Persia said. She paused for a moment. "And your sisters obviously don't?" She asked.

Phoebe nodded. "Yes..." Phoebe answered, then it hit her. "Wait, 'partly'?" Phoebe questioned.

"I'll explain in a little while." Persia answered.

"And this is the playground." Brandon said, as he pointed to the vast playground. It had a high, wooden fence surrounding the yard.

"Why is there a fence?" Pearl asked.

"So people walking by won't see us use our powers, if we want to." Brandon replied.

"Oh, hey, can we go swing?" Pearl asked.

Brandon smiled. "Sure!" He said. He grabbed Pearl's hand and teleported them out.

----

Minutes later Brandon teleported them in, right next to a swing. "You first." He said, as he motioned to the swing.

Pearl blushed. "Thanks..." She replied, as she hopped onto the swing.

Brandon began to push Pearl on the swing. "High enough yet?" He asked.

"Push me as high as you want!" Pearl replied.

"In that case, I have to push you to the heavens!" Brandon joked, as he gave her another push.

----

Prue and Piper walked down the stairs, entering the living room, chattering all the while.

"What's going on?" Paige asked again, looking from Phoebe to Persia.

"I'll explain la..." Phoebe began, but before she could finish, Pandora interrupted her.

"Me didn't know you had anoder baby, Auntie Phoebe." Pandora said.
