Chapter 2

Prue walked in the front door of the Halliwell Manor. "Piper, Phoebe!" she yelled. "In the kitchen" was her reply. "Get any good – Oh my god, what happened to you?" Prue was covered in dirt from her fall and she didn't look happy. "Well, to put it bluntly, I was mugged."

"What about your powers?" Phoebe asked after being assured that Prue was ok.

"They didn't work, I tried using them on her and they had no effect."

"Leo!" Piper yelled. She was answered by a swirl of blue orbs. "Yes honey?" Leo asked. Prue told him about what had happened and he left to go check with the elders.

A few minuets later he reappeared, "Theirs nothing wrong with your powers, so either your mugger was a good witch, or a very powerful demon who found some way to counteract your power. If so it would explain why they attacked you, to see if it worked."

"Ok, I'm willing to bet that a good witch wouldn't go amount mugging people, so Phoebe, can you make a potion to vanquish a powerful demon?" Prue asked her youngest sister.

"I'll need to go get more supplies, I'll go first thing tomorrow." Phoebe answered.

Paige was sitting in the corner of the old warehouse she called her home. It wasn't much, but it kept the wind and rain off of her and provided places for her to hide the signs of her magic.

She looked sown sadly at the ten-dollar bill in her hand. It was all that was left from the $150 she had received that morning. She had needed to restock her potion supply and it had cost her more that she had thought. She would have to go out again tomorrow and hope someone came along.
