Together – Forever! Part 13:
Explanations

--------------------

Phoebe and Paige sat down each in one of the huge chairs of the solar.
"I don't know… where to start, so I just begin, with the very beginning, okay?"
Paige nodded slightly, starring down at the book. Phoebe noticed that and smiled a little, putting a hand on the big, old book on the table
"This is the book of shadows. It's passed down the Halliwell line from the first witch in our blood line. From the witch, who gave us the destiny of being witches. She's called Melinda warren. And that's where the blood line of the charmed ones starts. The charmed ones were me, Piper and our oldest sister Prue… which of us four it is at the moment… I seriously don't know… so anyway, back to Melinda warren…"
Phoebe said and flipped through the book, until she came to the page of the ancestor.
"This is her. Melinda warren. She was, like I already said, the first witch in our blood line. She had the powers of telekinesis, freezing the time and the power of premonitions. It is said, that the legendary charmed ones would receive the same powers, which became true. I have premonitions, but I also got the power to levitate, which can be really useful. It was my first active power. I was so thrilled as I received it, because if you just see the past and the future… it's boring compared to Prue and piper's powers"
Phoebe said laughing, as Paige smiled a little as well
"Well, anyway… Piper has the power of temporal stasis, which is a more worked out version of the freezing power of Melinda. Piper can freeze the time, but she can also speed it up and that way, explode things. Much cooler, huh?"
"Yeah… sounds pretty cool"
Paige answered, slowly feeling less uncomfortable, as she was included into the family, into the family secrets and into the family history
"Well, anyway, Prue… Prue ahs the power of telekinesis… she can move things in her mind… aaand… she also can astral project, which means, that she can move her spirit to wherever she wants to be… yeah well… it seems like the age is doing something on this cool power thing… the oldest has the coolest powers… how's that fair, huh?"
She asked grinning
"But well, Prue is also the one, which always saves our butts, so it's good she has the most active powers…"
Phoebe explained
"Well anyway. Somewhat people noticed that Melinda was the first witch in the line of the charmed ones. Thee prophecy exists already before time exists, at least that's what's said… it's also said, that the first witch of the line, will burn at the stake, for the sakes of her daughter. That's how Melinda died. But before she did, she passed the book of shadows down to her daughter Pruedence. Which is where Prue got her name from. Every generation hoped and prayed, the charmed ones, were revealed in their time. First of all because it's a pleasure to know, well us, and second of all, it's said, that they will vanquish all evil and turn the word good"
"So… we're good beings, right?"
"Yeah…"
Phoebe said smiling warmly, and then opened the book again, in the very beginning and started to read out loud

"This is dedicated to my grand, grand, grand, grand, … daughters. You will be the most powerful witches on the world. Use your power powers wise and in an appropriate way. Don't use your powers for personal gain and fulfil your destiny with pride in your eyes. I know the duty is much to handle, but you three are powerful enough. God never would give you something you can't handle.
Stick together as much as you can. You depend on each other and need each other.
As you come from my blood, be warned: you will inherit a few qualities, which will make it difficult to work together. The strong will, the stubbornness, the Great Spirit to defend the weaker, will always get you into trouble. But it's my entire heritage, just like the powers. Be proud on what you are, because you have a great name, prophecy and also destiny.
I don't know which time it is, you will be born into, so I can't give you any special information on how to handle the world.

Blessed be, my daughters
Melinda"

Paige smiled slightly.
"It only says about three sisters"
"Cause Melinda, thought there only will be three"
Piper said, as she stepped into the room.
"But, most people ignored back then and through all the centuries, a little detail about the prophecy. It's said, that there will be some circumstances, which will give the charmed ones the great power to become invincible. It's not said, the charmed ones are three. Some people interpreted it wrong. There was never the speech of three sisters. The elders think some put the three in, as it's a holy number, because it stands also for the trinity of god. But it's not. The charmed ones are sisters. Close sisters. And sisters in the warren blood line. We were powerful, with three sisters already, yes, but you, Paige, make the package whole. As soon as Prue returns, our real destiny begins. We're same powerful as before, when we're three, in any combination… but a whole lot more, when we're all together. When we have not only the power of three, but also four"
Piper explained to both her sisters
"You mean…"
"I mean, that I'm glad to finally meet you, little sister"
Piper said smiling slightly, as she went closer to Paige
"Do I get a tiny hug at least?"
She asked
"Yeah… sure…"
Paige said getting up and hugged Piper slightly
"I'm sorry for everything… I'm just a little upset, cause I miss Prue…"
"It's okay… I… just do have one question"
"Go ahead…"
Piper told her, smiling a little
"What powers do I have?"
Piper and Phoebe looked at each other
"Well… your father was a whitelighter…"
"A what?"
"Whitelighter… a kind of guardian angel for witches…"
Phoebe told her, as if she was a dictionary
"Leo, my husband is one… and so was your father. It actually was forbidden for witches and whitelighters to be together… and that's also the reason why you were given up at birth by the way… but anyway… back to the topic… as those relationships were forbidden…"
"We have no idea, what powers you might could have…"
"And how do I find out?"
"With fighting demons…"
Piper answered
"You see… we all had to figure out on our self, how to use our powers…explore them first. We didn't know what the trigger was at the beginning neither. But you'll learn how to control it pretty fast"
Phoebe told her
"Okay…"
Paige said and then looked down at the book, which suddenly started to flip through pages… she jumped a little back… as she wasn't used to this at all…
"Is… is that my… my power?"
