Chapter 7: Powers
Disclaimer: Last time I checked I wasn't Brad Kern, E. Duke Vincent, Aaron Spelling, Jon Pare, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Shannen Doherty, Constance M. Burge, or any of the other people who own, produce, or created Charmed. Little known fact: Even though Shannen quit, she still owns a portion of the show, meaning that Alyssa has to go to work everyday, while she collects the profit (her words not mine, I have absolutely nothing against Alyssa Milano, I'm just a girl who likes some trivia now and then...)
A/N: Well, I hope you like it. Thanks again for reviewing. Special thanks to Princess Pinky for mentioning me in the latest chapter of Together Forever As One (read it people, its good.) And also for asking me questions in her review. I would really like it if you guys would ask any questions you have in a review. I love answering and clearing up stuff, and plus it means that I'll have something to reply to if you have your e- mail on your profile. I just love the e-mail ya know. I'll stop with the annoying rambling now, on with the story.
"Here now the words of witches,
The secrets we hid in the night.
The oldest of gods are invoked here,
The great work of magic is sought.
In this night and in this hour,
We call upon the Ancient Power.
Bring your power to we sisters four,
We want the power.........Give us the power!"
The four sisters chanted this as they felt the power of the Ages flow through them. Night had crept upon them, though only hours ago the sun was shining. A storm roared in the distance, and it was coming closer with every word the witches spoke. They could feel the generations of Halliwell women inside them, but this Power was greater, stronger than any other. In this night and in this hour, The Power of Four was being re-constituted.
Pam had orbed the Book of Shadows into her hands, since it had been kept safe in the Manor all these years. Cole had retired to his dressing room, as he waited for the girls to say the spell that Pam was so eagerly talking about.
As they finished chanting, the four girls sat, waiting for a sign that they had received their powers.
"Isn't Melinda Warren's decayed ghost supposed to hover over me and explain our destiny?" Asked Phoebe.
"Actually, no." Pam assured. "You see, the reason Melinda "came" before was just a premise. It was meant to explain what it meant to be Charmed and how important it was. The Elders feel that since you've all been here for a good two years, you wouldn't need her. Plus, last time it was one sister calling for The Power of Three. This time, its one over-powered sister witch and three sisters calling for the Power of Four. We all know our destiny already, so there was really no need for Melinda."
"Oh, right." Stated Phoebe.
"The less decayed corpses, the better." Commented Piper cheerfully.
"So what powers do we have? "Began Prue. "Just the main ones that are prophesized about or the other ones we've acquired over time on the show?"
"Well, to will the demons into the demonic wasteland, you would need to have any powers that would be needed to vanquish that particular demon. If Prue would have to astral-project, or Piper would have to blow a demon up, or if Phoebe would have to use levitation, those powers would be accounted for, and basically stored in me until you guys were ready. So Prue can astral-project and has telekinesis that can be channeled through her eyes and hands, Piper has the power of temporal stasis as well as the power to speed up molecules, and Phoebe can have premonitions and levitate. As for me, I have orb-telekinesis, healing, and orbing. I wasn't supposed to be able to have complete healing powers, but I asked the Elders for it because I never wanted my sisters or anyone else to have to feel as much pain as I have over the years. So if Leo can't get to us in time, I can always heal you guys, and we have a decreased chance of major injury." Explained Pam.
"What about you?" Started Piper, "What if you're hurt? You can't heal yourself, and we can't heal you or orb you to Leo......."
"Hang on, why can't we orb? I mean our father was a Whitelighter like your mother was half Whitelighter, so why can't we orb?" Questioned Prue.
"The Elders revoked your orbing powers so that you wouldn't orb un- expectedly like my mother did when she first received her powers. It was part of the punishment of your mother that you three wouldn't have the power to orb. Since Phoebe has premonitions, they were afraid that she would start remembering her past, and then she would try to orb to her real family. So the only way to ensure secrecy was for you orbing powers to be taken away. So we're all twice blessed children, but it would be superfluous for all of us to be able to orb. That would be too great a concentration of power, even for us. But in times of great despair, you can call the power of you want it bad enough."
"Getting back to you," interrupted Piper, "We still can't heal you if you're hurt, or orb you anywhere to get healed, so what happens if you're hurt?"
"I'm more concerned about my sisters and innocents than myself Piper. Don't worry about me, I'll stay out of trouble, I promise." Pam said this with a laugh, because she was just giddy about the fact that someone was actually worrying about her."
"Wait, lets go back a couple steps," chimed in Phoebe, "What is orb- telekinesis?"
"Think about it Phoebe," answered Prue, "She can move things with her mind like me, but she uses orbs to do it, meaning she would have to use her voice rather than her hands or eyes."
"Oh, right," said Phoebe, "Know it all," She added under her breathe.
"You guys wanna try out our powers?" Asked Pam.
"Uh, sure." The three of then said in unison.
"You try first Prue. First try your telekinesis with your eyes, then your hands, then try to astral-project."
Prue squinted at the lamp on her dresser, and it bolted across the room. She then waved her hand at the mirror on her wall, and it too went flying. She then closed her eyes, concentrating to be in two places at once. Her head dropped and a double of her appeared next to her. Astral Prue soon disappeared and Prue woke with a start.
"Are you okay?" Asked a concerned Pam
"Yeah, I'm fine. It'll just take a little getting used to, that's all."
"Ok, I'll try now." Stated Piper.
She threw up a pillow just as Pam had demonstrated earlier. She then attempted and succeeded in freezing and bowing up the pillow.
"Haha, nothin to it." Commented Piper cheerfully. "Why are we so good at this?" She added.
"Because you've already had two years to perfect the motions used to activate your powers, so you know what to do to use them," answered Pam.
"Don't speak too soon," said declared Phoebe.
As she said this her foot knocked against a book on the floor, and she was sucked into a premonition.
Prue steps back into and trips over the book on the floor and falls flat on the floor
As the premonition ended the three girls ran over to Phoebe to see if she was ok.
"What'd you see?" Asked a concerned Pam.
"Oh, nothing. Just........."
Just as Phoebe was going to comment on what she foresaw, Prue tripped over a book and landed flat faced on the floor.
"That." Finished Phoebe.
"Well we know that power works," chimed Piper trying to lighten up the mood and help Prue back onto her feet.
"I wanna levitate now," stated Phoebe as she raised her arms and hopped off the ground a little. She flew into the air and hovered.
"This is great!" Yelled Phoebe.
But she fell as soon as she heard surprised screams from her sisters, and saw Leo orb into the center of the room.
A/N: This chapter seemed really bad to me. Like I was forcing it or something. Anyway, tell me please if it sucked, cause then I can avoid writing like this again. But I have some questions for you guys. Why in the hell do Wyatt and Chris have so many powers? I mean according to the show, yeah, Wyatt is the most powerful thing, like, ever, but also according to the show, Chris can orb, he has orb-telekinesis, as well as regular telekinesis, and I'm guessing he has either temporal stasis or molecular acceleration, since he is Piper's kid. I don't understand why he has Prue and Paige's powers, are they hinting at something? Personally I think that the producers were just giving them random powers because it's relatively believable. So whenever the time came for them to need a power, they would just have it. Like in the Season Finale when Chris uses orb- telekinesis to take the gun from Darryl, and when Wyatt uses his orb- telekinesis to get Excalibur, and when Chris uses his telekinesis to throw Darryl out of the Manor, and when Wyatt uses his telekinesis to throw Leo up against the hospital wall. It was just convenient for then to have those powers, so I bet that dumbass Kern was just like, "Hey, doi, doi, lets give em' a random power, cause I'm too lazy to make good plotlines!" The only time it makes sense when they use their powers is when Wyatt uses his to kill those two demons in the cave when he's running from Barbus and Gideon. And can Chris heal? How could the Elders make him The Charmed Ones Whitelighter if he can't heal? I've never seen him do it before, and a lot of fan fictions say that he can't. Oh and another thing, when did they start having to burn the spells on paper for them to work? I think it's just a Season 5 thing, cause' that's the only time I remember seeing them doing it. I think it's really random and really annoying, but chances are, there's a perfectly logical explanation for it that I just missed. So anywho, sorry for rambling again, just have a lot of questions and it pisses me off so much not knowing answers to things. Please tell me the answers in a review if you know them. Or just e-mail me at wyattshottyahoo.com. But I like the review better. You guys don't know how much I love reviews! The 18 I have are gettin' lonely! Come on people, look alive and keep reviewing, I'll be eternally grateful.
