Chapter 11

Tracy Island

"So father what do you think? How are we going to rescue Phoebe? The only power we have against the Hood and that Priestess woman is our guns." Virgil watched his father pace the room.

Jeff stopped and faced his son, "I know Virgil, but we have to get their sister back safely."

"In a way, it's our fault." Everyone looked at Scott. "If it wasn't for International Rescue, the Hood wouldn't be after our secrets and the girls wouldn't be here trying help us. It's because of our organization that Phoebe is in danger."

"Scott you can't think like that." Gordon said sympathetically.

"Yeah, well I can't help it," Scott answered.

Jeff walked towards his desk. "Gordon's right, Scott. If you think like that during this rescue, then you would be sure to fail. Do you understand me?

"Yes Sir." Scott replied.

"Right. Now, we have to figure how we how we can help before the girls arrive." Jeff sat down and planned with his sons on how they were going to help get Phoebe back.


Halliwell Manor

Paige sat down in the attic with a map of the state on the table and crystal attached to a string in her hand; she began scrying for her sister. While she held the string, the crystal circled the map in search of Phoebe.

"Have you found her yet?" Piper shouted from downstairs.

"No. Maybe I should use a map of the country. I don't think that she is in this State." All of a sudden the crystal began to go haywire. "Piper, get up here," Paige shouted while trying to keep a hold of the string.

Piper ran up the stairs as fast as she could and stopped short, when she saw the crystal fly out of Paige's hand.

It landed on the globe with such force that the globe started spinning on its axis. Once it finally stopped, the sisters walked towards it, see what the crystal had found.

"Malaysia? She's in Malaysia?" Paige raised an eyebrow.

"Looks like she is." Piper sighed. "Our older selves could have just told us where Phoebe is, but no, they had to do this all by themselves when they were our age and now it's our turn. God, remind me not to become like my future self."

Paige shook her head. "Sister, you're babbling."

"I noticed that too," a voice from the shadows said.

Piper and Paige turned around to see older Piper in the room holding bottles of potions.

"Um, excuse me, having a private conversation here," Piper exclaimed.

Older Piper looked down at the small bottles in her hand, "Yeah well, I couldn't tell you about Phoebe or I would have broken the Elder's rules."

"Screw their rules. We've defied the Elders before. Many times actually, so what's new? " Piper argued.

Older Piper shook her head and changed the subject, "Anyway, I thought that I would bring these up to you."

Piper received the bottles and was looking at the potions that she had spent time brewing, when she noticed two blue ones that she didn't recognize. She called older Piper back when she saw that she was leaving the attic. "I don't remember making these. What are they? Where did they come from?"

Older Piper turned around and winked at the two sisters. "Let's just say that they stop whirlwinds." She walked out of the attic and down the stairs.

Paige shrugged. "I guess that in the future some things don't change. What was with the cryptic message? I know that there is no potion to vanquish the Priestess and you need a power of three spell, so what exactly do they do?" She pointed to the blue potions.

Piper smiled. "I know what they do." She shook her head. "Whatever happened to not breaking the Elder's rules?"

"Like you said, screw the rules," a voice said from the bottom of the attic steps.

Paige laughed. "You knew that she was still there."

"I had a feeling." Piper smiled. "Come on, let's get back to the guys. I hope that we are doing the right thing by letting them help us."

Paige put her arm around her sister, "It's their job, remember? We'll just have to be on the ball and protect them in every way we can."

"Hey, I thought that I was the big sister here?" Piper put one hand on her hip.

"Yeah, but being half Whitelighter overrules it. I'm supposed to give good advice. It's in the rule book."

"Enough with the rules," Piper exclaimed as they disappeared from the attic.


"Hello? Is anyone out there?" Phoebe slowly stood up. "Have you forgotten about the poor witch that you locked up in here?"

A clicking noise could be heard from the door. Phoebe got ready to put up a fight and escape her confines. Soon the clicking stopped and the door slowly opened with a creak.

Phoebe's eyes widened and she relaxed once she saw the face behind the door. "Scott. You came. Where are my sisters?"

Scott grabbed Phoebe's hand and led her out of the room. Immediately she received a premonition. Once it was over she retreated her hand from Scott's and began to back away.

Scott looked confused, "What's wrong?"

"Your n-not Scott."

Phoebe was just about to run when Scott grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. His eyes began to glow; "You are now under my control."
