A/N. Hi, thanks for your reviews, they make my day, I'll get onto replying to them now-
The-Cheese-Fairy: Glad you liked it! I expected Karis to be a lot of people's favourite! I like her too! Glad you liked the nickname! Is the next baby is your fic gonna be Piper's? Yep, I got your email and replied with two spells (as you know) I can't wait to see on of them in your next chapter!
Princess Pinky: Glad you liked it! Glad you like the inclusion of Brendan! There's gonna be a lot more of Karis, but after the next chapter Piper's gonna be phased out a little (even though she's my favourite sister) and it's gonna go a bit Paige-centred for a while! That chapter title is cool, I'd love to see you write a chapter to go along with it! This chapter isn't very cool, I know it's weird me saying that cos I want reviews, but I have to admit it's not as good as I hoped it would turnout!
Primrose Telepath:
Paige sat in her office,
"Alyssa, do you know why I want to speak to you?" she asked the student sitting at the other side of her desk,
"cos I cheated on my potions test?" Alyssa replied, blowing a bubble with her pink chewing gum and twirling a curl of her blonde hair around her finger.
"That, plus three other things; you interrupt lessons, you turned a teacher into a frog, and you have been using your power on other students," Paige told her,
"my power's telekinesis, it's hardly gonna kill someone," the teen witch said,
"well if that's gonna be your attitude then you're suspended until further notice," Paige said,
"whatever," Alyssa mumbled, leaving the room.
A few hours later, Paige orbed into the foyer and took a seat at the dining table, she had come home just in time for dinner,
"yum, spaghetti," she said,
"wait, we're not eating yet," Piper told her with a raised finger.
"Why?" Paige asked, through a mouth full of spaghetti,
"because Prue and Andy aren't home yet, haven't you realised we're the only people here?" Piper replied,
"oh yeah," Paige realised, after glancing around at the empty seats surrounding the table.
"Demon!" Piper exclaimed, pointing to where a demon had shimmered in at the bottom of the stairs, Paige jumped up from her chair and grabbed her fork,
"Paige, we want to vanquish him, not eat him," Piper said, Paige shrugged at her sister. The middle charmed one threw out her hands to blow up the demon, but instead telepathic-orbs shot from her head, as they got near to the demon he blasted them away with an energy ball. The two sisters watched as the orbs flew past Prue, when she came in through the front door, and to outside, then they shot through the air, breaking apart and scattering all over the city,
"what's happening?" Paige asked, as they ran to the doorway,
"I don't know, but I don't think it's good," Piper replied. The demon ran towards the charmed ones, preparing to throw an energy ball at them, Prue waved her hand and the energy ball flew back at the demon, vanquishing him. Suddenly, a shiver crept up Piper's back and the door blew off it's hinges,
"what you do that for?" Prue asked,
"I don't know, I couldn't control it, my thoughts are really scattered," the middle sister replied,
"maybe they're not your thoughts," Paige said, Piper shrugged as she got another shiver and part of the wall blew up.
The following morning, Paige walked downstairs to find nobody was awake,
"that's strange, Piper's always up first," she said, a crash came from the basement and she ran down there.
"Piper? what are you doing down here?" she asked, Piper was curled up in the corner, rocking back and forth,
"I…I…can't cope with…all the thoughts…it's too much," she sobbed, Paige walked towards her sister but stopped when part of the ceiling blew up and dropped in-front of her.
"Sweetie, have you even slept?" Paige asked, seeing that was Piper was still wearing the purple pants and black turtleneck from last night,
"I can't…I couldn't…people's thoughts…there…there's so many," Piper stuttered.
"I'm gonna go get help," Paige told her, orbing upstairs to get either Prue or Leo.
Meanwhile, Andy and Cole orbed and shimmered into the underworld,
"are you sure they're here?" Andy asked, Cole nodded and formed an energy ball,
"Belthazar," a voice hissed, then a demon faded into sight opposite them. A glowing, red, rock materialised in his hand, he shot it at Cole who destroyed it with his energy ball,
"where are your friends?" Andy asked,
"you mean the others of my kind? they're busy, but I can get them if you want?" the demon replied, with a laugh. Andy orbed over to the demon and pushed his palm to it's face, using his thermodynamic touch and vanquishing him.
"Great, now how we gonna find the others?" Cole said,
"you can sense them, just like you sensed that one," Andy told them, the half-demon nodded and shimmered out, Andy orbed after him.
Back at the manor, Prue, Leo and Paige were standing at the bottom of the stairs in the basement, thinking of what to do about Piper, they watched as she held her head in her hands.
"What did the Elders say?" Prue asked,
"they don't know what we can do, apart from maybe another telepath helping her control all the separate thoughts," Leo replied,
"well the only telepath we know is Phoebe," Paige stated.
"Yeah, but they aren't exactly communicating since Piper announced she was pregnant and Phoebe sent her flying across the foyer," Leo said,
"it's our only option," Prue told them, "I'm gonna go call her,"
"I need to get to school, keep me posted," Paige said, orbing out.
She orbed in and walked into the classroom where she was teaching a spells class,
"calm down," she told the students, who were all shouting and throwing things around,
"Miss Matthews, is it true that Richard Montana is gonna start teaching here soon?" Carl, a hydrokinetic, asked,
"yes, as will his wife, Olivia Callaway-Montana," Paige replied, as she handed out some paper to them all.
"I want you each to write a levitation spell," the youngest witch told them, she took a seat at the teachers' desk and began scribbling down some notes on a pad, she was jotting down some spells to bind telepathy. Suddenly, she got a strange feeling creep up her spine, something evil was awakening.
In the underworld, Cole and Andy were battling some demons, the same type as the one from before, when their leader appeared and shot a crimson stone at the two, Andy caught it in his hand and used his power of thermokinetic touch to destroy it.
"I don't think these are the demons responsible, they're throwing red pebbles, not turning things to stone," Cole said,
"well it was the only thing I could find in the Grimoire," Andy told him, orbing out and dodging a burning hot stone.
Prue jogged back down to the basement, Leo was trying to comfort Piper but she wouldn't let him go near her,
"stop it, I can hear what you're thinking, and it's too hard," she said, pushing him away.
"Piper, Phoebe's on her way, she's gonna help," Prue told her, Piper nodded,
"I'm gonna go to Mount Olympus, see if Zeus can tell us what might be happening," Leo said, orbing out,
"I'm just gonna go get the door, it'll probably be Phoebe," Prue said to Piper, after hearing the doorbell.
On the doorstep, Phoebe was playing with her hands, she was nervous about seeing Piper never mind teach her how to control telepathy, ever since the night Piper had told them she was pregnant they hadn't really spoken, apart from a 'hi' and 'bye' when Phoebe visited the manor. The Angelic Seer waited patiently until Prue answered the door,
"hi, she's downstairs," the eldest told her, leading her to the basement. Once down there, Phoebe gasped when she saw Piper, her eyes were bloodshot, she was hot and flustered, blood trickling down her face from where she had been scratching and rubbing her head and cheeks.
"Piper, hi, it's Phoebe, I'm here to help," she said, Piper didn't speak, "you need to channel all your own thoughts into the others, and when you've done that you need to keep them there, keep them in control," Phoebe continued. Piper tried to do what her sister had instructed, but she couldn't manage to do it,
"I can't," she murmured,
"yes you can, just try," Phoebe told her, before she was hit with a premonition;
A stone block began to shake and a hand shout of it, then it collapsed to reveal a monstrous creature.
"What did you see?" Prue asked,
"a big problem, some kind of demon getting free out of a stone box," Phoebe replied,
"I'm gonna go to Magic School, tell Paige and we'll look into it, you stay here and help Piper," Prue said, going upstairs.
Paige was walking through a corridor when she saw Prue running towards her,
"we have a problem, Phoebe saw a demon getting free, and by the look on her face I'm pretty sure he was something super powerful," Prue told her,
"that must be what I sensed," Paige said, orbing them out.
Piper and Phoebe just looked at each other, as if they were in some kind of staring contest, but they weren't, Phoebe was using her empathy to try and ease the suffering the thoughts were causing Piper, but even she was finding it hard to do. The middle charmed one was also telepathically linked to Phoebe, and accidentally interfered with her powers, giving her a premonition which was meant for Phoebe;
Prue and Paige were standing opposite the stone block from Phoebe's previous vision, the same demon emerged and killed them with fire balls.
Piper gasped in horror,
"shush, it's okay, it's okay," Phoebe told her, calmly, holding her sister in her arms,
"know it's not, that's not what you really think," Piper said,
"I'm pretty sure I know what you saw, and we can stop it, you can stop it, just put all of the thoughts into your powers, that'll make you strong enough to defeat this demon by yourself, make you just as strong as the power of three," Phoebe said. Piper concentrated as hard as she could, and her eyes became purple lights,
"you did it," Phoebe whispered,
"I did it," Piper agreed.
Somewhere in the underworld, Andy and Cole were still battling the demons, when Cole transformed into Belthazar and created a giant energy ball between his palms, launching it at the evil group and vanquishing them all, before returning to his human form.
"They weren't the stone-turning creatures we're after," Cole said, "I don't sense enough power from them for that,"
"okay, so it looks like we're back to square one, even the Grimoire, the book of ultimate evil, was useless," Andy told him, then they orbed and shimmered out.
Prue and Paige stood, staring at the demon who had appeared from the stone cube,
"say goodnight witches," he smirked, releasing two fire balls at them, before Prue good use her power to move them back, Piper stepped in-front of the duo. As the fire balls connected with her body they were destroyed by a violet flash,
"what the…?" Paige gasped,
"just watch," Phoebe instructed, standing next to them. They watched as Piper ran at the demon with supernatural speed, before striking him in the stomach with a clenched fist, throwing him backwards to the ground. Then she stretched out her hands, a huge, silvery-purple, blast fired from them, hitting the demon and making him feel immense pain, the demon responded to this with a large fire ball, which she froze before shooting it back at him with a glow which surrounded her hand.
"Maybe he's too strong, we don't even known who or what he is," Paige said,
"actually, I took a look in the book before we left and he's a bewitcher demon, a demon with some powers and immunity of witches," Phoebe told her,
"so does that mean he won't freeze?" Prue asked,
"usually, no, but with the amount of power the multiple thoughts have given Piper, I'm pretty sure she could keep her frozen my hours," Phoebe replied. Piper continued to fight, boosting her attack by mixing her new found speed with her other kickboxing and running up him, kicking his face and doing a flip through the air, kicking him from behind with her black stilettos. The bewitcher demon snarled, forcing Piper to the floor with a black ripple of kinetic energy, but that didn't slow her down, she leapt up and a molecular accelerative blast blew from her hands, making him explode.
"Wow, talk about super witch," Prue said,
"that felt great, and I think the thoughts are gone, my power boost must have defeated them," Piper told them,
"yeah, you were powerful," Phoebe stated,
"I know, it was a cool glimpse and what my powers will increase to," Piper smiled.
Later that night, the family were all at P3, except Prue and Andy who were at home looking after the kids,
"I'm sorry for letting my jealousy get the better of me the other night, it's just I don't' understand why I can't get pregnant, and I suppose I thought it wasn't fair you get to be twice," Phoebe said,
"forgiven and forgotten, have you thought about getting some tests done, y'know, just to make sure nothing's wrong?" Piper asked,
"actually, yeah, we're going tomorrow," Cole replied.
"Well ya never know, there might be a baby Halliwell-Turner soon," Leo said, Phoebe and Cole smiled, she wasn't going to get her hopes up, but she really had a good feeling about tomorrow.
To be continued…
Next chapter- Phoebe and Cole get some tests done. Piper goes shopping for the perfect wedding dress, leading to her getting amnesia.
'Forgotten Magic' should be up soon.
