Chapter 4: A Past Revisited
The instant Ron reached the bedroom he pulled out the spell and sitting on the bed he read it, "Remove the chains of time and space. And make my spirit soar. Let these mortal arms embrace, the life that haunts before." Immediately, his soul left him and his body fell lifeless onto the bed.
Not seconds later, Piper and Leo burst through the door. "Damn," Piper muttered turning away from the lifeless body of her ex-fiancé.
PAST
Ron was caught in a whirlwind of time; when it finally stopped and he steadied himself, he looked around for anything to indicate what year he was in.
He stood on the sidewalk of a residential street in what appeared to be early 1940's San Francisco. Ron looked across the street and saw a beautiful red brick house. He had seen it before, in his present life, only it was boarded up and vacant. Gradually, he crossed the road and moved toward the manor. As Ron approached the door he could hear voices inside of both people he knew and didn't. He recognized Piper and Leo's voices, there were three others which he didn't. Instead of going inside the house he just moved around to a window where he could see in.
"Phoebe, Paige, go and check the Book of Shadows and see you can find any information on this Lord Voldemort," Piper called, up the stairs. "Prue! Get down here now! We have a warlock to vanquish. Leo, what can you tell me about him?"
Ron moved so he could get a better look at Leo, who was standing in front of Piper. So, I know who Phoebe and Prue are, but who is this Paige? He thought to himself.
"Well, I know only what the Elders would tell me," Leo sighed, "which is that Lord Voldemort is a very powerful wizard who has lived for centuries in Europe killing thousands of witches and wizards. No one was able to put to a stop to him and now he's come to kill the Charmed Ones."
"Yes, but I don't think he counted on their being four of us," Piper replied.
Four! Ron thought, so this Paige was another sister?
"Which means he'd have to kill at least two of us to end the Power of Three forever," Piper continued, she paused for a second. "Did the Elders say whether or not we even have the power to destroy him?" Prue came down the stairs followed by Paige and Phoebe, carrying the Book of Shadows.
Ron got a glimpse of the sisters Piper had kept hidden deep inside herself for so long.
Leo never answered; he just turned to the three sisters coming toward them and said, "What did you find?"
"Not much more than what you already told us," Paige said.
"But we did find this," Phoebe said, pointing to the end of the paragraph. Prue leaned in to read it.
"Voldemort's powers are among some the world has never seen before. It is not known if the power exists to destroy him or not," she read, and then looked at Piper. "Does that answer your question?" Piper didn't say anything, just sighed and walked into the kitchen.
Phoebe groaned and turned to Leo, "what do we do?"
"Well, you should be prepared for almost anything. I suggest making potions and maybe you or Paige could write a Power of Three spell. I mean we got four witches and a white lighter, we should be able to come up with something to vanquish this guy."
"What about Piper?" Paige asked.
"I'll help her with the potions," Prue offered.
"Good, then Paige and I will go and work on that spell," Phoebe said.
"Leo, you go and see if the Elders have anymore information, preferably when he plans on attacking," Prue instructed. And then everyone went their separate ways; Leo orbed out, Phoebe and Paige took the book back up to the attic to work on the spell and Prue went to find Piper in the kitchen.
Ron moved around outside looking for the kitchen window, praying that it was low enough so he could see in, but not be seen. He found it, and hid in a nearby bush where he could still see inside.
Piper was standing over the sink, drinking deeply from a cup of cold water. "Piper," Prue approached her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Honey, Leo suggested that we make some potions. Paige and Phoebe are working on a Power of Three spell upstairs."
"Where is Leo?" Piper set the cup in the sink and turned around.
"He went to ask the Elders if they have an idea when Voldemort might attack."
"Oh," Piper replied, moving over to cabinet where all their potion ingredients were kept. She opened it and started pulling out things. "Maybe we should try a power stripping potion, it might work. Even if it doesn't strip him completely of his powers, it might weaken him enough so that a spell will work."
"It's worth a try," Prue said, taking the ingredients Piper was handing her and putting them on the table. She pulled out the mortar and a small bowl. Piper measured the ingredients out and Prue mixed them together. Finally they put it all in a pot on the stove with water in it and stirred it for a few minutes.
Paige and Phoebe walked in a few seconds later. "We've got the spell," Phoebe said.
"How's that potion coming along?" Paige asked moving over to the stove, where Prue was grabbing the vials to put the finished potion into.
Outside a noise at the front of the house startled Ron. Slowly, he left the bush and crept around to the front lawn. What he saw was the last little bit of a black robe sweep through the door. Ron didn't need to see a face to know who it was; very quietly Ron slipped through the door behind the robed figure and into the beautiful home.
"It's ready," Prue replied.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!"
"NO!" Everything happened in blur to the four sisters watching the scene before them. A young red haired man jumped out of no where in front of the curse that was meant to kill one of them. Without time to react to what had happened, Prue immediately threw the potion at Lord Voldemort. He screamed only for a second, but long enough for Paige to pull out the spell.
All four sisters read the spell, "In this night and in this hour, we call upon the ancient power. Halliwell witches stand strong beside us; vanquish this evil from time and space." Voldemort screamed once more and blew into a million pieces, finally vanquished.
"Oh, my God!" Phoebe said, rushed to the young man's side.
"LEO!" Piper yelled for her husband, hoping that he could save the red-head that had graciously saved their lives.
Leo orbed in, "what?" All four sisters looked once more at where the unidentified man lay. His body was gone.
END PAST
In the present Piper and Leo sat on the bed waiting for Ron to wake up. She had gone back to reading while Leo was looking out the window. "What the hell!" said a voice. Piper looked up to find three people standing before her that she hadn't seen in three years.
