Disclaimer: WARNING: Dense people in the area....Like my subtle way of saying if you think I own Charmed then obviously you haven't been reading properly...?

A/N: For the moment chapters will probably be like this...but I may decide later on that actually I preferred writing in the old format...we'll see how it goes-I'll let you now if it changes back to being someone's POV.

Prue and Paige were out on dates. Piper was in her room bouncing Melinda on her knee waiting for Leo to sneak in.

Phoebe was on her way to her bedroom, when she thought she heard a noise from the attic. 'That's weird...the attic's always locked.' She thought. Warily she climbed the stairs and found the attic door...OPEN! She walked through the door and looked around the attic. Her eyes fell upon some old chests; she walked over to one of them and pried it open. She carefully lifted out an old, must book; it was a dark shade of green-possibly black- and a had a weird golden symbol on the front. She ran her hands over the symbol, which appeared to be made of 3 semi circles all connected with another circle circling the inside point of the semi circles; sheets of dust flew off as she moved the book. Sitting on the chest she opened the book and started reading out loud:

"Hear now the words of the 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 the hour,

I call upon the ancient power,

Bring your powers to we sisters four,

We want the power,

Give us the power."

There was a clap of thunder, and lighting lit up the sky and Phoebe's face. She wore and odd look on her face... "Witchcraft? A book of witchcraft...why's there a book of witch craft in the attic?" Phoebe asked no-one in particular. Out of curiosity she turned the page and continued reading in silence. A sort while later she looked up with a pure look of shock on her face... 'Oh...My...GOD! What the hell have I turned us into???' she thought as she stood up-almost dropping the book on the floor.

After putting Melinda to bed Piper and Leo were having a heavy make out session on Piper's bed.

"God, Piper...I love you so much!" Leo said softly between kisses.

"Mmm...I love you too," Piper whispered back.

"Piper! PIPER, PIPER, PIPER, PIPER!!!" Phoebe said as she ran down the attic stairs skidding to a halt in front of Piper's door.

Inside of Piper's room Piper was reluctantly trying to get an even more reluctant Leo off of her. "Coming!" Piper said pushing Leo off of her.

"What is it Phoebe?" Piper said exasperated by the fact that Phoebe had ruined her night with Leo.

"Umm...you'll never believe me but...I was up in the attic...."

"Wait a minute? THE ATTIC?" Piper interrupted, but from the look Phoebe gave her let her sister continue.

"Yes, the attic...the door was open; weird I know...but anyway-I was in the attic and I found this...book...I read something out loud-it was like a spell...and basically I think we're witches!" Phoebe blurted out quickly.

"Oh...umm...I know..." Piper said shuffling around.

"You know? How do you know??" Phoebe demanded.

"Umm...I'm not sure how to tell you...but here a sec," Piper called Leo over.

Phoebe almost fainted at the sight of her (DEAD) brother-in-law.

"OMG! That...that looks just like...Oh my God! Piper isn't he kinda...dead? Piper...what the hell is your DEAD husband doing in your room?"

"Uh...umm...a little help here Leo?" Piper said moving towards her bed.

"Sure sweetie! Uh...hi Phoebe! Yes...I was dead...still am technically...maybe you should sit down so that I can explain properly."

"Sitting," Phoebe said sitting...or more like falling onto Piper's bed still looking kinda confused and worried.

"Ok...right, so sometimes when good people die they get....reborn, made into Whitelighter-think of us as...guardian angels for good witches. We are supposed to help guide, help and protect our charges. I don't have that many charges right now, seeing as I'm new and all...but it looks like I just got a few more..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You're telling ME, that you're an angel? And...that I...I'm some kinda witch? Do we have cool supernatural powers? Or are we just like witches that chant spells?" Phoebe asked warming up to the idea...

"Yeah...you could say that I'm an angel..." Piper shot him a 'yeah, my angel' look before he continued. "Yes, you are a witch and each of you has at least one supernatural power that may grow in strength or you may even gain multiple powers over time. Umm...I think Prue should have Telekinesis, the power to move things with ones mind, Piper," Leo smiled at saying his lovers name, "You should have Temporal Stasis, the ability to freeze things and people other than other good witches i.e. your sisters; you may also find that with some upper level demons/warlocks that they break out of your freezes. Phoebe; you should have received the power of precognition, the ability to see into the future. And Paige...since her father was a whitelighter, she will be able to orb, and will have orb-kinesis, similar to Prue's but she'll have to call for an object and it will orb to her."

Both Piper and Phoebe stared at him; whilst Piper knew that eventually she would become a witch, after all it was her birthright as she'd been told; she didn't know that she'd have the power to freeze.

"One thing Leo...what's 'orb'?" Phoebe asked.

"Oh! Is it that freaky blue-white light thingy you do?" Piper asked.

"Yeah...it's that 'freaky blue-white light thingy' that I do...like this..." Leo then orbed over to Melinda's crib.

"Whoa! Does...does little Melly have powers too?" Phoebe asked.

"Yes, she does, as does everyone born into the Halliwell line...although we're not sure what yet. Unless, Piper, have you seen anything odd happen around Melinda?"

"No...I don't think so..." Piper said after thinking about it.

"Then she has yet to come into her powers." Leo said smiling at his now sleeping daughter.

"Is there any way of telling what powers she has? And how did you know what powers we have?" Piper asked Leo joining him in watching their daughter; it both calmed them and made them happy.

"Unfortunately no...the only reason I knew about yours is because you are the long awaited Charmed Ones-The Power of Four ...it had been written in the stars...ever since one of you're ancestors Melinda Warren was burnt at the stake...she said as she died that their would be three sisters each harbouring one of her three powers, and a fourth sister to aid the 'power of three'. The oldest three; Prue Piper and Phoebe, were prophesied to be the Powers of Three...but Paige is important too; she is to be the one to keep you all together, and as witches prevent you from being distant..." Leo explained.

"Wow..." Both Phoebe and Piper said.

"And, together the four of you will fight demons and warlocks; all for the greater good."

"Demons and warlocks? Aren't they some kind of evil mythical creatures?"

"Yes they're evil...but they're in no way mythical...they're as real as we are."

"And we have to fight them? What if we get hurt, what if Mel gets hurt?" Piper asked very concerned.

"Piper I don't like this either, but there is no choice- you must fight them, or else Evil will take over and the world will slowly spiral out of control. If any of you get hurt I can heal you. And I'll heal my baby girl in a flash, I promise."

"Good." Piper replied.

"Right...I...I...I think I'll leave you two to it and I'll go...read that book or something..." Phoebe said leaving the room, wondering what life would be like now they'd all become witches.

Once Phoebe was out of sight and ear shot, Leo turned to Piper.

"You okay?" He asked tenderly placing a hand on Piper's cheek and pulling her close to him.

"Yeah...I ...I just never expected it to be...well...like this..." Piper said close to tears.

"Hey...baby it'll be okay...I'm here for you-I'll protect you."

"Always?" Piper asked quietly.

"For as long as I love you...which is Forever and always...I'll be here, protecting you through thick and thin." Leo said as he tilted Piper's chin upwards and laid a gentle kiss on her lips. "Piper, I'll always love and care for you and our daughter-I promise you that..." Leo trailed off as the couple began kissing again.
