A/N: The title is a play on, "Glory Days" which I think was either a T.V. show or movie. Anyway, it is kinda referring to the "gory" aspect of Janie's power. peanut2lb: Aww, thanks. I really like coming up with new and interesting powers. (Damn the writers, they just have to reuse powers! Gah!) CharmedAli: Don't worry, I have a special chapter that will explain lots, but not yet. I'm trying something new with this pregnancy. ;)

The Blessed Ones
Chapter 22: Gory Days

"What kinda hell power is that?!" Paige's voice exploded through the room.

Phoebe whirled around to see Prue, Piper, Paige, and Leo standing at the far end of the room. Prue was holding Pandora.

"That's a question I've been asking myself every day of my life." Janie replied, as she sat a little straighter. "I try to only use it in dire circumstances, because it magically drains me." Janie explained.

"Why can't you just have your whitelighter heal you?" Piper asked.

"One; I don't have a whitelighter. Two; even if I did, it's uneffected by whitelighter's healing. They can heal the physical wounds, but not the pain that this power causes me. I swear, some day it will kill me." Janie answered.

"You don't have a whitelighter? Why?" Piper asked.

"I requested not to have one. Actually, I demanded not to have one. I'm constantly being chased by evil, more than most witches except for your family, and I refused to put a whitelighter in danger. So I began to create temporary cloaking spells and such, to hide myself from all magic. They wear off quickly though. So I came top you four; the Charmed Ones. If anyone could help me, the four most powerful witches in the universe could, right?" Janie said.

"Well, then you've come to the wrong witches." Prue announced, as she switched Pandora from one hip to the other.

"You're not the Charmed Ones?" Janie said, as a terrified look crossed her face.

"No, no! We are the Charmed Ones! It's just....together, we're the second most powerful set of witches in the universe. I mean, I thought everyone knew that. The Blessed Ones are the most powerful." Phoebe replied.

"The Blessed Ones? Who are they?" Janie asked.

Everyone in the room, except Janie, exchanged confused looks.

"Look, I've been in hiding for years! I've known about you for quite some time, but I didn't know there were witches more powerful than you! Like I said, I've been cut off from most of the magical community!"

Everyone, except Janie, nodded in understanding.

"We understand now!" Phoebe said.

Cole decided to cut in. "The Blessed Ones are the children of the Charmed Ones. They're four cousins: Pearlinda or Pearl as we call her, who belongs to Paige and her mortal husband Glenn; Phiona who belongs to Piper and her whitelighter husband Leo; Pamela who we call Pam, who is Phoebe and my daughter; and Pandora who is Prue and Andy's daughter, but Andy died quite a few years back and I won't go into that story." He explained.

Janie looked at each person in the room. "Well, if I have my history right....You're Prue." Janie said, as she pointed to Prue. "So that must be, Pandora?"

Prue nodded. "Nice to meet you."

"And....you're Phoebe..and since she looks so much like you, she must be Pam?" Janie asked, as she pointed from Phoebe to Persia.

"I am Phoebe. But that's not Pamela. That's my eldest daughter, Persia." Phoebe said.

Janie blushed. "Oh...Well, then where are the other three?"

"At school." Paige answered, as she walked over to Janie.

"So what are we going to do?" Piper asked.

"Well, we have an immortal demon on our hands, who is after Janie. So, maybe we could come up with a spell that would trap him?" Phoebe suggested.

"And then have the girls read it?" Cole asked.

"Yeah." Phoebe replied.

"Sounds like a plan." Cole said.

"Not to me!" Orack said, as he became visible and held an athame to Janie's throat.

Piper began to raise her hands.

"Do and she dies!" Orack hissed.

Paige nodded. "Look, just leave her alone.." She said, carefully. She knew that saying the word 'her' would active her own power. Suddenly Janie orbed out and then orbed in, next to Paige. "Piper, now!"

Piper raised her hands and froze Orack, but could tell that he was already breaking free of her freeze. "What now?!"

"Orb Janie to safety!" Prue yelled.

Paige grabbed Janie's hand and orbed them out.

Orack unfroze. "Where's the witch?!" He demanded.

Phoebe glanced at Orack's leg, where the gash had been and mentally noted that he was healed. "Somewhere where you'll never be able to get to her!"

Orack waved his hand and sent a plasma beam at Phoebe.

Phoebe levitated into the air, but was hit in the feet, and sent crashing into the wall.

Prue squinted her eyes and used her telekinesis to pull the athame from Orack's hand and send it into his side.

Orack winced at the pain and then flicked his wrist, telekinetically sending Prue flying at the wall.

Prue held tightly onto her daughter and turned them both phasable, then easily glided through the wall and landed with a bump, in the other room.

Cole charged up a neon yellow energy ball and hurled it into Orack's chest.

Orack stumbled back a few feet and then held out his hand, sending another plasma beam at Phoebe.

Cole shimmered out and then shimmered in, in front of Phoebe, in his Balthezor form. The plasma beam hit him and he roared in pain. Then he transformed back into his human form and grabbed his unconscious wife and shimmered out with her.

"Balthezor!" Orack stormed.

Piper waved her hands and sent Orack crashing into the table, with a powerful exploding blast.

Orack flared out.

Cole shimmered in with Phoebe and placed her on sofa. "He..heal her!"

Leo rushed to Phoebe's side and placed his hands over her wounds, within a few moments, he'd healed her.

A few minutes later, Paige orbed in.

"Where's Janie?" Phoebe asked.

"Magic School. Pearl, Phiona, and Pam are with her and they've created a temporary cloaking spell." Paige answered.

"Paige! I need you to help me heal Cole, like when you first used that power!" Leo said, as he stood over Cole.

Paige looked to Phoebe.

Phoebe gave her a pleading look.

"Fine." Paige said, as she walked over to Leo and Cole. She placed her hands over Leo's hands.

A brilliant golden light glistened from their hands and after a few minutes, Cole was healed.

Paige immediately pulled her hands away and stood back up. "We need to get back to Janie though. Book of Shadows!" Paige said. The book orbed off the coffee table and into her hands. "Follow me to the school." She said, then orbed off.

Prue walked in with Pandora in her arms. "Where are we going?"

"Magic School." Leo said. He walked over to Prue, Piper, and Pandora. Then he placed one hand on Prue's shoulder and one hand on Piper's shoulder. "We'll meet you there." He said, to Phoebe and Cole. Then he orbed them out.

Cole took Phoebe's hand and shimmered them away.
