Disclaimer: If I owned Charmed, Ch Rose would have died two seasons ago.
A/N: For the people who know me as a big Prue supporter and a big Paige hater, sorry this fic has so much to do with her. It's because Pam is really kind of me, (It's retarded, I know. Just bear with me.) See I started to write this for my own amusement. But I really wanted to have Whitelighter powers and the only way to do that was to be Paige's daughter. I know, I hate it as much as the next Prue-lover, but I had to do it to make this whole story work. If you want to know more about my inspiration for the story you can e-mail me at lreederholton-arms.edu For everyone who loves Paige, hope ya love the fic too. Oh and Pam starts calling her father J.R. because she doesn't feel comfortable calling him her father anymore.
Chapter Four: The Power of Four
Pam had started to take in deep breaths while speaking; otherwise she would've passed out. She didn't know that telling about her father's death would break her down so much. The worst part was, she had actually believed that her father was dead. In actuality, he had been reincarnated as a Whitelighter. Her mother knew this, but as a four year old, she hadn't understood. She had only been told about the events of that night a few years ago, because the Elders wanted her to let her father carry out his duty as a Whitelighter.
"Are you okay Pam, you know you don't have to finish. I think we can all agree that you're genuine." Soothed Holly, trying to calm Pam's tears. She glanced over at Shannen, and so did Pam.
"No, I owe it to you guys to let you know the whole truth."
"So my father was called in front of a council of Elders, and they told him that he could not contact me or my mother, and was now the Charmed Ones Whitelighter because Leo needed time to raise his daughter. Well seeing as he saved Phoebe's life the first time they saw each other, J.R. and Phoebe got really close, and soon fell in love. My mother on the other hand never re-married or loved again. She said that you only have one soul-mate and that was J. R. Phoebe started becoming more and more curious about J. R.'s past, but he was secretive about it. He knew that Phoebe could be really jealous at times, and if she knew that he had a wife and a 13-year-old daughter in Sacramento, she would not only be furious with him, but who knows what she would do with Pam and Paige. The only way to keep everyone safe was to keep his past to himself. In the 10 years they were married, they had 3 children. They named them Prue, Piper, and J. R.'s favorite, Phoebe. Life was happy in the Halliwell house, while life at my house was all but glorious. My mother was dealing with it, but it was much harder for her than it was for me. She had to live with the fact that my father was out there, and he had just forgotten about us. At least that's what she thought. Well one day, Phoebe was putting away some of J.R.'s clothes, she felt a strange tingle of cold. She turned around, and who was standing there but Barbus."
The girls were amazed at Pam's description of demons. Even Shannen would have to admit that this girl had to be a witch. Holly didn't want to know the rest. As far as her knowledge, wherever Barbus went, death followed. "I'm gonna go make some tea," Holly said quickly, making for the door.
"No Holly, you have to stay. This concerns all of us." It was not Pam, but Shannen who spoke. This was really surprising to Holly. She didn't even know that Shannen believed the Pam, much less wanted her or Alyssa to believe her either.
"He scanned her for her greatest fear, and found that it was that J.R. had a secret life and a secret family somewhere. 'Your fears are correct, witch.' Barbus said. 'Your dear husband is certainly lying to you. He has a wife, and a 13- year old daughter. She turns 14 tomorrow. Do you remember how hard it was, without your father?' Phoebe listened intently because she was under Barbus' spell. 'What you must do, is go down into the basement, take the Nexus into you, and kill the, other woman." Phoebe wrote a spell to release the Woogy, and then took its form. She blinked into the foyer of my house, and spotted my mother and me cooking in the kitchen. J.R. could feel Phoebe's evil, and quickly orbed to her. He came in time to hear, 'You ruined my marriage,' from Phoebe, and with that she conjured a Darklighter Crossbow. She shot it at my mother, and she didn't have time to think. But she didn't have to. Just like he had saved me, J.R., my father, jumped in front of my mother and saved her. The arrow hit him, and because of the Halfgang marriage ritual, the betrayed love killed him faster. Realizing what she had done, she turned on my mother. 'You did this' is all I heard. Then my mother falling to the ground, and she slowly, faded away."
"That's when the Elders orbed me 'Up There.' They told me that Phoebe could not be punished by magic because she was under Barbus's influences. She also had to complete the Charmed Ones now that my mother was dead. But the three children were to be separated, all under different names. The Elders would alter memories and it would be as if the children were always with the families that they are going to be put with. 'In a future generation,' they said, 'the Power of Four will be ready to yield such a strong power. We will need you to reconstitute this Higher Power. Since all four of you are twice-blessed children, this will be a greater force of good that anyone has ever seen before. To train the other three, we will stage a place for the girls to learn about magic without thinking it's real. They will read from the Book of Shadows, make potions and spells, and fight "demons" and "warlocks." They will learn about the rules of being magic, and will learn about your mother, too. We will control what they learn and how much they learn. Their Whitelighter for their adolescents will be the same one your mother had. Jake will look over them from childhood to make sure they stay out of harm's way. When they come into our place of sanctuary, they will have Leo Wyatt as their Whitelighter, just as the original Prue, Piper, and Phoebe. You, like your mother when she was waiting to reunite with her sisters, will stay here with us until the time comes. You will harbor the four powers until it is time to pass them onto the other three. In the oldest sister's room, I will put a call button. She will think that it's simply there for service, but the red button will alert us that they're ready. It also has an inscription on the back; it's from your father. If they are disbelieving, just show them the message. The oldest will also have the Triquetra on her dresser. Make sure that when you have them receive their powers, you read from the Book of Shadows with all four of you touching the symbol.'"
"And that's my story," finished Pam, with tears in her eyes. "Do you believe me now?" While Alyssa and Holly sat in shock, Shannen ran over to her dresser and pulled off the call button.
"The Power of Four Evermore Love---Dad," she read in whispers and silent tears.
"This is my, well, our. It our destiny, and our time, is now," Pam finished.
Alyssa looked believing, but also like she a long while before she could take all of this in. Holly looked like she much rather be making some tea right now. But Shannen, however, looked like she had been ready for this her whole life.
"So, when do we get our powers-------sis." It was Alyssa who spoke, because she loved a good adventure.
