Peaunt2lb: Glad you liked it! Glad you liked the Phoebe/Cole! Glad you liked Andy's joke! And yes, today's the day, chapter 27, which comes along with three deaths!
I know I told The-Cheese-Fairy Karis wouldn't appear until chapter 28, but I changed it a bit and she's now in this chapter. There will be some character deaths in this chapter so watch out.
Charmed and Dangerous:
"Phoebe!" Piper yelled, she raised her hands to use her power, but it was too late, the fire ball pounded into Phoebe's chest, blasting her backwards,
"Leo heal her," Prue instructed, Leo held his hands over Phoebe's body but no healing glow was released,
"what's wrong?" Andy asked,
"I can't heal the dead," Leo told them.
48 hours earlier….
"So what do we know about her so far?" Prue asked,
"well she can orb, and she can orb other things," Phoebe replied,
"the Elders think Paige is half whitelighter and half witch," Leo said, after orbing in.
"What? but it's forbidden for whitelighters and witches to be together," Piper stated,
"look who's talking," Andy grinned,
"very funny," she said with a glare,
"anyway, back to the point, who are her parents?" the eldest sister asked.
"They think her father is a whitelighter called Sam," Leo told her,
"okay, that's good, I think we'll be able to write a spell to track him down, or we could scry for him," Phoebe said,
"just wait a minute," Leo said, "Sam was your mom's whitelighter,"
"what?" the sisters exclaimed in unison.
"Grace, I need you to conjure grandma for me," Prue told her daughter, Grace giggled and blinked her eyes, out of a golden flare Patty appeared,
"girls, what's the problem?" she asked,
"your whitelighter, he had a daughter, Paige," Phoebe said.
"Oh my god, I know who her mom is," Piper said,
"what? how?" Leo asked,
"think about it, her name begins with a P, her dad is Sam, she's half witch, and a powerful one at that," the middle sister continued,
"join the dots please," the youngest sister said,
"our mom is Paige's mom too, she's our sister," Piper stated.
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you, but I couldn't, we feared the Elders would take Paige from us," Patty told them,
"so you gave her up? you had other choices, you could have used magic to stop them from finding out," Prue said, obviously feeling strongly about the subject of having a baby sister they didn't know about.
"I'm sorry, I've never been more sorry about anything, but I don't know what else I can say," Patty said,
"why are we only feeling drawn to her now?" Phoebe asked,
"I'm not exactly positive, but I think that she's destined to be a charmed one, just like you, so when the water demon killed Prue it unlocked Paige's powers, and because the third charmed one is meant to be telekinetic that's the power Paige got, and even though Prue came back Paige still has that power," their mother replied.
"What was that orb thing she did with the door?" Phoebe questioned,
"her power, because she's half whitelighter it works differently," Patty said,
"but she didn't have to look at it like Prue does," Leo said,
"then she must be psychokinetic," Patty replied, "psychokinetic-orbing."
"But there can only be three charmed ones," a voice said, then Trajer, the god of destiny, appeared,
"so is one of us gonna die?" Piper asked, Trajer nodded,
"I cannot tell you which one, but I can tell you that which ever one of you that does, Paige will not receive the same powers, as she already has powers," he told them.
The next morning, the sisters and Andy were sitting in Piper's jeep outside South Bay Social Services, where Paige worked,
"if she doesn't show soon I'm gonna blow something up," the middle charmed one said impatiently.
"Maybe we should try her apartment? Even if she's not there we could talk to her boyfriend, and maybe while three of us are doing that one of us can test if her daughter, Karis, has powers?" Phoebe said,
"you guys drive, I'll use the baby's power to orb there and see about her daughter while you're talking to the boyfriend," Piper told them, as she orbed out.
She orbed into the corner of a room, a little girl was asleep in a small bed and a man was reading to her,
"uh oh, I hope the others get here soon," Piper whispered, ducking down behind a bookshelf. There was a knock on the front door and Glenn stood up, putting the book on the nightstand next to him and leaving the room,
"Karis, I'm a friend of your mommy, and I was wondering if you have magical powers?" Piper asked the two year old girl, after giving her a small pat to wake her up,
"momma," Karis said.
"Of course, you're two, you probably have no idea what powers are," Piper groaned, Karis smiled and wiggled her fingers, shooting bolts of red at the lamp on the nightstand, causing it to explode into burning orange sparks,
"whoa, cool power," Piper said.
"It certainly is, electro-pyrokinesis," Leo said, orbing in behind Piper,
"what are you doing here?" she asked,
"I came to see my new charge," he replied,
"Paige?" she said,
"Paige, and Karis," he told her.
"I told you, I haven't seen Paige since she left for work this morning," Glenn said,
"okay, thank you for your time," Andy said, he, Prue and Phoebe headed for the door when they heard a crash from Karis' room. They ran in to find Leo unconscious and Piper standing in-front of Karis, a large, grey, demon stood facing them,
"wait," Piper told Prue, when she was about use her power, the middle sister picked up Karis and watched as she fired an electro-pyrokinetic bolt at the demon, blasting him backwards. The demon roared as he disappeared in a tornado of wind,
"you'll be safer with us," Piper said, handing Karis to her father,
"okay," Glenn agreed, "but someone needs to get Paige," while Phoebe and Andy helped Leo up,
"I'll go, Piper will you be able to orb us there?" Phoebe asked, Piper nodded and took hold of her sister's hand, orbing them out. Leo orbed the others back to the manor, but not before Glenn looked around at the mess which the demon had created.
Five hours later, the Halliwell household was very quiet, Glenn and Paige were asleep in Phoebe's bedroom, Phoebe had bunked in with Piper and they were also asleep, Leo had left, and Prue and Andy were watching Grace and Karis playing with some toys. Grace snatched a toy out of Karis' hands, so the elder of the two cousins destroyed the toy with her power, Grace gave a scream as the toy exploded,
"Grace shush, your aunties are asleep, and Karis, that was naughty," Prue told them, Grace and Karis both gave her an angelic smile. Andy and Prue gave a small laugh as Karis tried to hug Grace, but they ended up banging heads instead.
The sun rose as soon as it had set and the first to wake up was Piper, she walked downstairs to find Prue and Andy asleep on the couch, with Grace and Karis asleep on the pastel green blanket Grace usually had in her crib. She stepped into the kitchen to find the room covered in ivy and nettles,
"uh oh," she said, she tried to blow the vines up but instead cold mist shot from her palm and turned them to ice.
"What happened in here?" Leo asked, after orbing in,
"I don't know, I came in and it was all covered in ivy, and then smoke flew from my hand and made everything into ice," Piper told him,
"cryokinesis, so that's three powers the baby has shown now, orbing, healing and cryokinesis," he listed.
"Well apparently our powers are in our bloodline, either that or they're a variation of other powers, so I'm guessing cryokinesis is from one of my ancestors," she said, before blowing up all the ice-covered greenery,
"are Paige and Karis still asleep?" the whitelighter asked, Piper nodded. They turned around to see Karis standing in the doorway, with Grace sitting next to her,
"Peeper," Karis said,
"I think they want you," Leo smiled, "which is good cos they're calling," and then he orbed out. Grace conjured a tennis ball and rolled it at Karis, who blew it up with an electro-pyrokinetic spark,
"pretty powerful kids, and you'll make a third," Piper said, placing her hands on her stomach.
Prue awoke in Andy's arms to find the babies were gone,
"Andy, Andy," she said in a panicked voice, shaking his shoulders, "they're gone, Grace and Karis are gone,"
"calm down, they're here," Piper said, she had Grace balanced on her hip and was holding Karis' hand.
"Thank god," Prue said, "I'm sorry for waking you up," she told Andy,
"it's okay," he replied,
"lets go see what your mommy and daddy are doing," Piper told Karis, sitting Grace down next to her parents.
"I can't believe you're a witch," Glenn said,
"half witch, half whitelighter," Paige corrected with a smile,
"you should have seen Karis, she hit that thing with some kind of red electricity," he told her,
"apparently Peeper isn't as good as momma and dada," Piper smiled as she entered. Karis grinned at her parents and said,
"Peeper and Gwace nice,"
"I'm sure they are, hopefully I'll get to learn that for myself soon," Paige said,
"you certainly will, we are family after all," the middle sister told her baby sister.
"Can I have a look at that book Phoebe told me about last night?" Paige asked,
"of course, it's your book too," Piper said, leading her up to the attic and leaving Karis with her father.
That night,
"so we're assuming Grace conjured the vines?" Phoebe asked,
"yeah, I mean I read her a story about the jungle the other night, so she must have got it from there," Andy said.
"I just hope that demon doesn't come back," Paige said, giving Karis one of the cookies Piper had baked,
"me too, he was pretty powerful to survive one of Karis' bolts, she's a strong witch," Leo told her.
"Shax won't be back, I took care of him after he failed me, I decided to take matters into my own hands," a voice said, and then the Source flamed in,
"Andy, Glenn, take the kids upstairs," Prue ordered, they agreed and ran upstairs with their kids in their arms. The Source threw a fire ball at Piper, which she turned to ice with one of her baby's powers and blew up,
"the unborn child is more powerful than her cousins, I can sense it," he snarled, throwing Piper into the stairs with a telekinetic blast and knocking her out. Phoebe levitated and kicked the Source into the wall, before returning to floor level and pounding a spin kick into his stomach, but he just laughed and smacked his fist into her jaw, causing her lip to bleed. Paige was helping Piper up while Prue was battling a demon who had just appeared, she vanquished him with his one energy beam just as Leo orbed in, the Source formed a fire ball and released it at Phoebe.
"Phoebe!" Piper yelled, she raised her hands to use her power, but it was too late, the fire ball pounded into Phoebe's chest, blasting her backwards,
"Leo heal her," Prue instructed, Leo held his hands over Phoebe's body but no healing glow was released,
"what's wrong?" Paige asked asked,
"I can't heal the dead," Leo told them.
"One down, three to go," the Source said, creating another fire ball, Piper blew it up along with his hand,
"attack!" he bellowed, a large group of demons shimmered in and began shooting energy balls, electricity and fire in a number of directions. Piper was blowing up a demon when Shax appeared behind her and released a blast of mystical wind and energy, it pounded into her back and threw her through the air into the wall,
"I thought the Source 'dealt with him'?" Paige asked, Prue shrugged and channelled all her grief for Phoebe into her power, telekinetically moving a fire ball out of the Source's hand into his chest.
"Leo, the baby," Piper whimpered as he began to heal her, "it killed the baby,"
"I know," he replied after he completed the healing, "and he's gonna pay," the whitelighter stood up with a look of fury on his face, he jumped forward and grabbed Shax, pushing him into the Source's hand and forcing him to absorb a fire ball, vanquishing him. Andy jogged down the stairs to find Phoebe dead lying with her head on Paige's thighs, Piper curled up on the floor crying with Leo holding her close, and Prue deflecting a giant energy ball which a demon had fired, vanquishing the remaining demons apart from the Source.
"Look at that, the fiancé," the Source said, he sent a blast of fire spiralling into Andy,
"Leo," Prue said, Leo ran up the stairs to heal Andy, but after failing to he shook his head,
"that's it," Prue screamed. She threw out her hands and sent a barrage of telekinetic energy at the Source, blasting him into the wall with such a force it cracked,
"I'll be back," he growled, flaming out. The eldest sister looked around at the mess around her, flames were everywhere and grief was in the air, her fiancé was dead, her sister was dead, and her future niece was dead, the Source had finally won, or had he?
To be continued…
A/N. Do not fear, I have special plans for all of the victims! But that's all I'll say!
The next chapter 'Three to Go' should be up soon, here's a little sneak peek at what's gonna happen: It's Phoebe and Andy's funeral and the baby's memorial service, when the Source stages another attack, planning to finish what he started. Piper's grief causes her powers to advance, and Prue's makes her an easy target for a banshee.
