Witch Swap Part 2

'What did you see?' Evil Piper asked her equally malevolent sister

Phoebe's eyes returned from their blank white state, 'It's the same as it was when we left… If we don't find a way to get their powers soon then…'

'I know! I know…' Piper paced the cave, taking a glance at her baby sister, who they had trapped in a crystal cage because of her unusual behaviour. Their sister had begun to develop a conscience, which was strange on its own! But when she had gone to save an innocent, she had orbed out in white lights!

What about the sisters topside, how are they doing?'

Phoebe sighed from her meditating spot, 'What am I? A spy cam? My seeing powers have a lot more uses than that!'

'So you keep reminding me. Just do it! They're probably responsible for whatever has happened to Paige,' she nodded towards their usually evil sister, who was trying to orb out of the cage with no luck, 'Those crystals are blessed with our blood, your blood! You won't be getting out anytime soon,'

Paige glared at her, 'Our blood?' she scoffed, 'You call yourself my sisters, yet you're keeping me here against my own will! There's some love for ya!'

Piper rolled her eyes, 'You're staying in there until I can figure out a way to fix you.' She turned to her other sister, 'You got anything?'

Her eyes went back to normal, 'No… I can't see them, they must be at Magic School,'


Piper blew up an empty crate in frustration, growling impatiently as Emma and Pamela poured over the many books of the library.

'Stop doing that!' Emma raised her head swiftly from the book she was reading; 'Your nerves and frustration are killing me over here!'

Piper spun around in a challenging way, 'Just shut them out then! You're the all powerful telempath! I'm surprised you can't pull it off!'

The psychic stood up, 'Look Piper, I know you're angry right now, but taking it out on us and school property isn't going to help!' she said with a raised voice.

She was about to respond, but then took a deep breath, 'Sorry… What have you got?'

'Well…' Pamela looked up, 'I'm working on a reversal-,'

'Oh no! You're not doing this! You're the reason we're in this mess!' Emma gaped at her usually docile friend as Pamela's confidence came crashing down, Emma could feel it.

'Piper… To be fair, I'm the Head of Potions and I didn't realise there was going to be a side effect,' she huffed in response and stormed off towards the nursery. Emma went over to her student, sensing the devastation that she was feeling.

'She's never going to trust me with magic again, is she?' she whispered

Emma sighed, 'Pam… You're a powerful and talented witch, just like your mother. It's just hard for Piper to admit that you could do anything wrong when it comes to magic,'

'You think so?'

'Trust me…' she tapped her chest, 'I know,' Pamela smiled and breathed, 'Okay, you keep working on that reversal, while I go talk to your passive aggressive aunt!' she walked down the corridor.


Aidan splashed into yet another dark cave. He had heard everything about Paige from the others had had been hunting down every darklighter he could find, once he found Hades, he would tear him to shreds.

He quickly raised his hand, encasing an incoming poison arrow in ice. He then made a gesture with his hand and raised his attacker into the air with a tower of water.

'Water pressure is a dangerous thing…' Aidan made a fist and the water surrounding the cowardly darklighter constricted him to the point where he could hardly breathe, 'The darklighter Hades and his new lady friend… Where are they?'

The being gasped for air, 'I… I'd rather die than tell you!' he spat

Aidan sighed and tightened his fist, 'You know, if I increase the water pressure anymore, your head will fly off like a cork in a wine bottle,' he said darkly

'Alright! Alright! Alright! I'll tell you! The last time I saws them, they was in Den Of Fallen Angels! That's all I knows! I swear!'

Aidan eyed him warily, before letting him out of the watery grasp and making him fall hard on the floor. The darklighter got up and prepared to orb out,

'Ah… Screw it,' Aidan created a sharp icicle in his hand and threw it, impaling the darklighter and vanquishing him. He could hear clapping coming from the shadows as two figures emerged from the darkness,

'I'm surprised anyone on your side is that ruthless,' Evil Piper appeared with Phoebe behind her. Aidan conjured a large glowing icicle before Piper raised her hand, 'Hold your fire, Diver Dan, we want to talk to you,'

'Well…' Phoebe stepped in, 'Not so much you as the sisters on your side,' he looked from one to the other. Phoebe rolled her eyes, 'Tell them to meet us at the bridge in an hour, and that we're their only hope of saving Paige,' the two slinked back into the shadows and disappeared, leaving Aidan at a loss for words.


Emma walked into the nursery to find Piper sitting on a chair watching her children play. She pulled a stool over and sat down, hoping that Piper would talk first but after a while, she just decided to say it.

'Phoebe?'

Piper looked at her with red eyes, 'Would you stay out of my mind please?'

'I'm trying, but your feelings of abandonment and loss are so strong that they're hard to ignore!' she put her hand on Piper's, 'Talk to me,'

She sighed and looked down at her hands, 'It's just… Ever since Phoebe left, I've had to lean on Paige for so many things! And it's been a complete roller coaster this past year and a half… with you and Pam… Phoebe and Paige were always the super witches, I'd take the lead every now and again but usually I'd just have to read when they stuck a spell under my nose… but now even Paige is gone, and I don't know what to do.'

Emma laughed sympathetically, 'Piper, you're selling yourself short! You take control in almost every situation and we kick a lot of ass! And we're going to get Paige back, and Phoebe will be home soon… You just need to stay strong,'

Piper scrunched up her face and began to cry,

'Phoebe… I miss her so much,' Emma was silent and wrapped her arms around her hurting friend, stroking the back of her head.

'You can do this… We can do this,' she whispered.

Aidan appeared in a tower of water, interrupting the bonding between the two. Emma grimaced as soon as she saw him.

'Where have you been? After we told you about Paige you splashed out of here so fast that I thought you had evaporated!'

Aidan delivered the message from the Evil Charmed Ones, 'We need to talk,'


Piper, Emma, Pamela and Aidan stood on the top of the bridge, surrounded by a glowing blue force field. They weren't going to take any chances with this meeting, as they knew that is was extremely risky to be doing this.

Pamela glanced at Aidan, 'You look like you've been to hell and back,'

He replied without looking at her, 'That's because I have…'

The area in front of them began to distort as Piper and Phoebe shimmered in with their demon escorts.

'Don't even bother trying anything,' Piper warned from inside the shield, 'Only the Power Of Three can break through this,'

Her counterpart rolled her eyes, 'Oh please, you should know that we don't just charge into a fight, we don't do that!' she pointed back and forth between herself and Piper.

'You wanted to talk?' Emma said coldly, 'Then talk.'

'Well, aren't you right to the point,' Phoebe smirked

'Not always, I just don't want to waste my time talking to you,' Emma smiled back innocently,

'Bet you wouldn't be so bold if you weren't cowering behind that shield!'

'Likewise! Could you have any more demons protecting you?'

'That enough!' both Pipers said in unison.

'As I was about to say…' Evil Piper glared at her sister, 'Has your Paige been acting… strange lately?'

'You called us up here for that?' Piper responded, 'What's it to you?'

'Because ours is acting an awful like yours,' she nodded to one of the demons, who pulled out a Ronyx crystal and it began to show a projection of Paige trapped in a crystal cage, desperately trying to escape with white orbs! The projection disappeared and Piper began to talk,

'A darklighter took her,' she replied with a shaky voice, 'I guess her change in morality affected your sister too,'

Evil Piper put her hands on her hips, 'A darklighter?' she looked as if she was thinking, then came to a realization, 'Hades? Ugh… He's been trying to get enough power to challenge us for power,' she ran a hand through her hair and turned to her sister, 'He's becoming a liability,'

Phoebe nodded, 'But we don't have the power to take him down without Paige,'

Piper turned to the good guys that were in the shield, 'Maybe… But if there's more of us…'

Piper was the first to catch on, 'It is our only option to get both of our sisters back…'

'Wait a minute…' Pamela whispered in her ear, 'Please don't say you're thinking what I think you're thinking!'

Piper ignored her, 'Send the demons away and we'll lower the shield,'

'Deal,' her counterpart nodded at the demons, who shimmered away as the shield wavered and disappeared.

The twp Pipers walked up to each other, 'Truce?' the evil one held out her hand

Piper looked hesitant, before shaking her counterpart's hand, 'Truce,'


Paige stood from the balcony, watching all the crafting demons making more weapons for the faction.

'What do you think? Impressive, isn't it?' Hades came up behind her, rubbing her shoulders.

'Everything is so organised… Perfect for taking out my sister,' she smirked and turned around.

He pushed a strand of hair behind her ear and kissed her roughly, but in the current stage that Paige was in, she enjoyed it.

'So…' he cupped her check with his hand, 'Do you have a plan?'

She nodded slowly, 'We'll draw them out, fight them on our turf, not theirs,'

'I trust you completely… What do you need?'

She pulled a piece of paper from her pocket, 'Nothing, I should be able to send a premonition to my niece with this. They'll think that we're not expecting them, but really… we'll be ready for them,'

'Perfect…' he brushed her cheek again before kissing her passionately.


Emma helped the two Pipers in the kitchen as they made vanquishing potions for the many darklighters that they would probably run into.

'It's doesn't matter how hard you stare at me, I'm not going to burst into flames,' Evil Piper said to the redhead,

'I'm just trying to get a fix on you, that's all,' Emma replied defensively,

'Whatever…'

Pamela walked in with a sigh, 'Aidan splashed out again…'

'What? Damn!' Piper slammed her hands on the table

'Is the spell ready?' Piper's counterpart asked coldly

The young Halliwell shot her a glare, 'Almost… Your sister's putting the finishing touches on it,'

She nodded in response and went to the book to check the next potion ingredient, but the pages glowed and book closed, flying into Pamela's hands as soon as Evil Piper had went near it.

'Guess the Book doesn't like you…' she smirked and put the book down next to her aunt, who was currently mixing a potion on the island in the kitchen.

'I'll be in the living room,' the counterpart said before walking out the kitchen and slamming the door shut.

'Wow, you really do not like them, do you?' Emma stood up from her chair and addressed Pamela.

'Well, it's like I always say, once a demon…' she dropped some powder into the potion, making it erupt with a loud bang, '… Always a demon,'

'Who cares?' Piper said impatiently, 'I have to finalize stuff at the club tonight to I would really like to save and then bitch at my sister for turning evil before I have to go,'

'Scheduling a sister saving?' Pamela snorted, 'There's organised!'

'Yeah, and I would also like to be home in time to read my children a bedtime… Wyatt!' Piper ran out of the kitchen, realising that Wyatt was upstairs and probably with her evil counterpart! The three of them rushed upstairs and into Wyatt's room, to find him in the arms of Evil Piper.

'Get away from him!' Piper spat

'Piper… He's not got his shield up!' Emma whispered in disbelief

'I don't care! Put him down!'

Her counterpart gave Wyatt a longing stare before gently returning him to the floor and walking out of the room.

'Relax. I wouldn't hurt him… Technically, he's my son as well,'

Emma, Piper and Pamela stood gaping, until Pamela went to pick up her little cousin,

'If you ask me, I think we caught her just in time,' she said viciously

'I'm not so sure… When she was holding him I got the weirdest hit off her,' Emma replied, walking over to the teenager, 'It was almost the same as your feelings earlier,' so looked at Piper.

'What are you trying to say?' Piper asked defensively

'I don't know… I am just not sure that they're so evil, that's all,'

Pamela looked as if she was deep in thought until her face grew dark, 'Take Wyatt.'

'What?'

'Take him!' she shouted, handing her cousin over to the psionic,

She was breathing heavily, until she gasped loudly, signalling that she was witnessing a future event.

A little boy, no older than eight was running down a dark alley. How he had got there was a complete mystery but he was obviously scared out of his wits! Paige and Hades appeared out of the fog, both with malicious grins on their faces.

'No where to run, you little brat!' Paige smirked and laughed manically; the boy was cornered and crying hysterically, 'Good night…' Paige smiled, 'And don't let the bed bugs bite!' with that, she telekinetically threw a sharp piece of metal that was sitting on the ground, it flew right at the boy and pierced his chest, killing him painfully and instantly.

The vision ended and Pamela had tears streaming down her face, traumatized at what she had just witnessed. Emma was reacting the same way; she had felt the raw emotions that had been in the premonition. Piper quickly took Wyatt from her friend as she collapsed to the floor along with her niece.


'I can't believe you two are suggesting this!'

'You don't have any idea about what I felt and what Pam saw! Do you really think I want to kill my best friend?'

'I don't know! And that's what's scares me!'

Piper sat in a chair in the living room with her arms crossed challengingly while Pamela and Emma were trying to convince her to prepare for the worst. The counterparts sat in the sunroom, Phoebe meditating and concentrating on finding Paige as soon as she resurfaced and Piper was attempting summon Aidan as he was ignoring their calls.

'Piper… I felt the pleasure she got from that kill and I felt the sheer terror of that little boy! If our plan doesn't work then we'll need to stop her one way or the other,'

She shook her head, refusing to accept that she might need to vanquish her sister.

Her counterpart walked in with Aidan behind her, 'Found water boy,'

'Good! At least I have someone on my side now!' Piper spat

'What's going on?' he asked, completely oblivious

'They…' she gestured wildly at Emma and Pamela, 'Are trying to convince me to kill Paige!'

'We are not!' Pamela responded childishly, 'Do you really think I want to kill one of my aunts after knowing them for just six months? But if I need to make a choice between her and the life of a seven year old then I won't hesitate!'

'I found her,' Evil Phoebe's voice came from the other room.

Everyone stood up, but Aidan blocked their way,

'If I have to make a choice between killing you to protect Paige, or killing Paige to protect you, I won't hesitate,'


Everyone was walking through the damp alley that Pamela had saw in her vision, Aidan had been their mode of transportation since Leo was at Magic School and the two Paige's weren't in a cooperating mood.

'This isn't right…' Pamela said, 'Maybe we have the wrong alley?'

'We don't.' Phoebe said flatly, 'She's here… somewhere,'

Both Pipers brought up the rear, looking at every dark corner suspiciously before moving on,

'Just so we're clear…' Piper began, 'We go back to being enemies once this is over.'

Evil Piper smirked, 'I wouldn't have it any other way,'

They walked silently for a while, until Piper spoke again,

'Just out of curiosity, why do you want to kill us? If you really are our counterparts, wouldn't it mean that…'

'If you die, we die? No, it's goes a lot deeper than that, we need your power.'

'But why? You can easily take over the underworld with your own powers,'

Evil Piper stopped in her tracks and turned around, 'What makes you think we want the underworld? We need the underworld behind us, that's all. We don't want joint leadership,'

'So what do you want?'

'I'll tell you once you vanquish me.'

The group continued to walk along the alley until reached a dead end, which made no sense to Pamela as hadn't seen a dead end in her premonition,

'We've been tricked…' she said in realization.

'Yes, you have…' everyone spun around to see that Paige and Hades were standing in their way, blocking them off. Aidan clenched his fists, fighting back every bone in his body that was telling him to take that darklighter apart for taking advantage of Paige.

Pamela immediately threw the potion that would cure her aunt, but Paige pulled her crossbow out at lightning speed and fired at the vial, causing it to shatter when it came in contact with the arrow.

'My aim's got a little better,' she smirked. As she said that, about twelve darklighters appeared together in a cluster of black orbs.

'Fire!' Hades shouted, they all obeyed and a flurry of arrows flew at the group! But all of them were stopped, some encased in ice, and some had just stopped in mid air, the two Pipers stood with their hands outstretched, they had been the ones to stop the assault.

'Phoebe, let's go,' Evil Piper said, fading out and using her invisibility, Phoebe nodded to where her sister had stood and flew towards the darklighters with her levitating power.

'Alright, Pam and Emma, you get Paige and I'll,' Piper was cut off

'No…' Aidan growled, staring Hades in the eye, 'That bastard is mine,'

Piper knew better than to argue with him when he was like this and assumed her invisible form to take on her sister.


The Evil Charmed Ones were taking care of all the darklighters with unbelievable ease. Phoebe grabbed onto one's shoulders and spun around, kicking every close enough darklighter right in face! After that, Piper would become visible and blow them up. One made a run at the middle Halliwell; he had now thrown his crossbow to the ground, as his comrades seemed to have fallen because of its overuse.

'Oh please…' Phoebe rolled her eyes, sending a mental blast of black energy at the darklighter, vanquishing him, 'Never charge a Charmed One… Evil or not!'

Piper lost her temper with the evil beings throwing themselves at her and smacked the ground with her fist, opening up a fissure and sending all of the darklighters to the core of the earth.

'Just like old times…'


'Emma look out!' Pamela jumped on her teacher, sending her to the floor just in time to dodge out of the way of an arrow that had been fired by Paige. The young witch got up, infuriated, Alright! I've had enough of that thing!' she flicked her wrists and the crossbow shattered into a million pieces. She then threw her arm out diagonally and sent her aunt flying into the wall.

Emma supported herself with one arm as she tried to stand up. An arrow had already grazed her right arm and she wasn't in the mood for it to happen again,

'Paige! I know that the real you is in there!' she boomed at the recovering witch, 'And I'm going to remind you whether you like or not!' Emma began to use her telempathy to tap into Paige true feelings. Happiness, sadness, laughter, love… Emma bombarded her with memories and emotions until it was time.

'Piper! Now!' she shouted

The oldest Halliwell reappeared, fumbling with a piece of paper, 'Uh… Uh… Oh! Here we go!'

'Hurry!' Emma shouted.

Piper nodded and began to say the spell

'Open Paige's heart of reveal,

The part that only Emma feels,

Send it back from whence it came,

But don't protect her from the pain!'

Pink lights began to flutter out of Emma chest, slowly making their way over to Paige who was just getting up from Pamela's telekinetic attack. The light entered Paige's body and she fell back slightly, blinking a few times before realising what was going on.

'Emma? Piper? What's going on?' she looked around with a confused look

'You don't remember?' Piper walked over to her.

'Yeah, I remember… But I'm just seeing things differently,' she looked over to her right and her eyes widened, 'Aidan!'


Aidan threw another flurry of icicles at the fleeing darklighter. The frozen water pierced the brick wall as Hades dodged and threw out an energy ball, which, thanks to Aidan's elemental status, bounced off his chest harmlessly. The elemental held up his hand towards Hades, a cold blue glow emitting from his palm as Hades began to freeze from his feet upwards.

'No!' he screamed as the ice devoured his head

Aidan then made a series of gestures, making large sharp icicles appear above the Hades ice statue and circle it. He brought his arms down swiftly and the icicles flew at the frozen darklighter, shattering the demon into millions of pieces of bloodstained ice.

Paige walked slowly towards Aidan as he recovered from what he had just done by breathing heavily.

'Aidan, I…'

She didn't finish. Aidan turned round and stared at her, his eyes filled to the brim with hurt and betrayal. He splashed out wordlessly and left Paige speechless. The whitelighter/witch hybrid dropped to her knees.

'He knows…'

Emma dropped to her level and put an arm around her shoulders, 'Knows what?'

'… That I slept with Hades,'


God… I love it when I surprise myself! Its so refreshing lol! Anyway, press the purple button and tell me what you think of that shocking ending!

NEXT TIME: Pamela decides to help Jenna finally get over her past by going back to it, along with Zack and Leo as their guardians. This leaves Piper and Emma to do more research into the counterparts, which leads to more questions and Paige tries desperately to fix her relationship with Aidan, although it may already be too late…

Chapter 35 'The Ghost Of Darkness Past' will be up soon!
