Author's Note: Ok, so I lied. There's not gonna be a wedding, but only because you all wanted an explanation for the whole Dan thing. So, this chapter's gonna start off where the last one ended…


Piper wakes up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. She starts to get out of bed, when Leo wakes up.

"Honey, where are you going?"

"Somehow, I don't think Dan is really dead. I have to check the Book of Shadows."

"In the middle of the night? Can't it wait until morning?"

"No, it can't. You stay here and feed Payton when she wakes up."

She leaves the room and walks down the stairs, but hears someone call her from the kitchen.

"You couldn't sleep either?"

She turns around and sees Prue walking up behind her.

"No. I have a gut feeling that something isn't right."

"Me too. Were you planning on going to the Manor? You can't get in without a key."

"I know, but I also remember the spell Grams used when we would lock ourselves in our rooms."

"Hmm, well then I'll go with you."


Prue and Piper are standing in front of the Manor, trying to get in.

"Try the spell again."

"Prue, it's not working. She probably cast a spell to stop from breaking and entering. Just astral in."

Before she can, the door opens and they see a tired Grams standing behind it.

"Girls, why are you trying to break into my house?"

"We need to look in the Book of Shadows."

"Why, did a demon attack?"

Prue smirks.

"You could say that."


Piper's looking through the Book of Shadows when Prue comes in with a couple cups of coffee.

"Grams went back to bed. So have you found anything yet?"

Piper suddenly stops flipping through pages.

"I think I just did."

Prue walks over and sees Piper point to a page titled 'Human Demons' and starts to read aloud.

"If a human's heart is broken and turns cold, then the Source may give him powers and make him a lower level demon. When a witch vanquishes it, the Source gathers its remains and rebuilds it, making it stronger. The only way to truly vanquish it is to…"

"…is to kill the creator. We have to vanquish the Source to kill him."

"What else is new?"

"Is there anything about the premonition?"

"No. I wish I knew what it meant."

The pages start flipping on their own and stop on a blank page. A spell appears and they both read it aloud.

"Mothers to Mother, we ask you now

Another way, we don't know how

You have something that must be known

If you can't come, let it be shown"

Pages start turning again, and stop on the last page in the Book, which is titled 'False Premonitions'. Piper stares at the page in disbelief.

"That wasn't there earlier when I checked."

Prue smiles.

"I think Mom had something to do with that. What does it say?"

"A witch may get a false premonition in order for her to quickly figure out what has to be done to prevent it. Most false premonitions may only have slight flaws, like taking place in a different time or place, or having different people involved."

"So it was a false premonition?"

"I guess so. One mystery solved. Now we just need to figure out how to vanquish the Source, before he sends Dan after us again."


The next morning, all four of the Halliwell sisters are sitting in the attic, looking at the family tree. Paige points to a name below Melinda Warren.

"Hey, look Prue. You were named after Melinda's daughter."

Prue smiles.

"We can use that name in the spell."

She writes the name down, then reads the names they've compiled.

"Patricia, Cassandra, Prudence, Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura, and Grace."

Piper smiles.

"Some of our strongest, and most beloved ancestors."

Grams comes up the stairs carrying various vials of potions.

"I've got defensive, offensive, and vanquishing potions here. All we need is our youngest witch and then we can summon his Royal Evilness."

Before Piper can call him, Leo orbs in with Payton in his arms.

"Ready?"

Piper takes Payton, and all the girls take potions from Grams. Then Prue holds the spell out in front of them so they can all read it.

"Evil in his darkest Glory

We need to ease our biggest worry

Bring us the Source, wherever he be

Bring him to the power of three plus three"

They stand and wait, but nothing happens. Prue silently rereads the spell to herself, trying to figure out what went wrong.

"I don't understand, it should have worked!"

Piper looks at the spell, then back at Prue.

"It's not the power of three plus three."

Phoebe looks around, counting everyone.

"Me, Piper, Prue, Paige, Grams, and Payton. That's six, three plus three."

Prue looks down at her stomach.

"I think we forgot something."

Grams takes the spell from Prue and rewrites it.

"There. Now it's four plus three. Let's try again."

"Evil in his darkest Glory

We need to ease our biggest worry

Bring us the Source, wherever he be

Bring him to the power of four plus three"

A gust of wind enters the room and Paige grabs the crystals, ready to set the trap. When the Source emerges in his black robe, Paige orbs the crystals to the floor in a circle, trapping him inside.

"Any last words?"

The Source grins and snaps his fingers, making Dan appear in front of them.

"Kill them."

Grams flings him across the room before he can do anything, and Prue throws a sleeping potion at him, rendering him unconscious.

"Oh, too bad. You may have given him more powers, but he's still as stupid as he was when he was mortal."

Prue holds up the vanquishing spell, and they all read it aloud.

"Patricia, Cassandra, Prudence, Melinda

Astrid, Helena, Laura, and Grace

Halliwell witches stand strong beside us

Vanquish these evils from time and space"

Both the Source and Dan are engulfed in flames and reduced to nothing but scorch marks on the floor. Piper gently rocks Payton back and forth.

"Look at that! My little girl just helped vanquish the Source of All Evil! Makes a mother proud."


A/N: Not one of my best, and I know it's been a while, but at least it's something. I'll try to have another chapter up as soon as I can.
