Sorry for the delay, lots of problems not enough time to explain! Thanks for reviewing!
Which Witch Is A Warren Witch?
In the ghostly plane, an old, ugly, and evil witch was hovering a few feet above the floor, she sniffed the air and cackled wildly,
"Melinda Warren, I've been waiting for you to pay the charmed ones a visit," she snorted, glancing around at this version of the Halliwell-Wyatt manor, before closing her eyes tight and concentrating.
At the actual manor, Melinda had said her goodbyes and was about to turn non-corporeal, in order to leave, when a cold sensation consumed her, and when it had passed she found herself in the ghostly plane.
Casendrin, the evil witch, smiled with success when she found herself in Melinda's body,
"you know what, I think I'll stay for a bit longer," she told the family,
"not to sound unhappy about it, but why?" Paige asked.
"Do I need a reason to want to be here?" Casendrin/Melinda snapped, sounding way too much like an evil witch, though not appearing to arouse any suspicions,
"okay Melinda, maybe you should sit down," Piper said, leading her ancestor over to the sofa behind her.
"I don't want to sit down!" she growled,
"Melinda, are you okay?" Phoebe asked, sounding very concerned,
"I will be," Casendrin/Melinda whispered, under her breath,
"what did you say?" Paige asked, beginning to sense that dark forces were at play,
"might as well get this over and done with," Casendrin/Melinda muttered, cackling loudly and she reached out and grabbed Piper's arm, draining her powers and therefore increasing the temporal stasis she already possessed while in Melinda's body.
Back in the ghostly plane, Melinda found herself completely powerless; whoever had swapped souls with her, had taken their own powers and now controlled hers in her body, this meant Melinda had a big problem.
Prue flung out her hand, but Casendrin rivalled the telekinetic power and continued to drain from Piper, before letting her limp body drop to the floor,
"now for you," she hissed, making her way towards Paige,
"you'll have to catch me first," the witchlighter said, orbing out.
"That can be arranged," Casendrin snarled, using her own abilities and blinking out after Paige. When the whitelighter-witch orbed back in, Casendrin blinked in behind her and quickly grabbed the back of her neck, completely absorbing her powers,
"who's next?" she asked, with an evil grin, as Paige fell to the floor.
"You!" Prue replied, becoming a cloud of smoke which flew at Casendrin/Melinda and forced her to the ground,
"you won't get away with that!" the evil witch exclaimed, using Piper's power to create a pyrokinetic arrow and throw it at the smoke cloud formerly known as Prue. Phoebe empathically created her own pyrokinetic arrow and used it to destroy Casendrin's,
"cloning powers will be extremely handy," Casendrin/Melinda said, making her way towards Phoebe. She doesn't know I'm an empath the Angelic Seer thought that could help beat her, Phoebe stood still and allowed Casendrin to drain her powers, the Halliwell-Turner smiled slightly as she fell to the floor. Casendrin/Melinda formed a destructive icicle and pointed it towards Prue; the only charmed one who still had her powers, she released the cold blade and Prue winced as it sliced straight through her shoulder, exploding as it broke free of her flesh. The evil witch was about to laugh when she screamed out slightly,
"w…what…is…hap…happening?" she stuttered, still in clear pain,
"you made the mistake of draining an empath," Phoebe replied, gathering her strength and standing up, swinging her fist at Casendrin and knocking her down,
"we need to get Melinda's soul back," Piper stated, as she, Paige and Prue walked over to join Phoebe,
"where is she?" Paige questioned, grabbing an athame from the table next to them and holding it to Casendrin's throat.
"That won't do much, just harm this body which I now own," Casendrin smirked,
"tell us where our ancestor is," Prue ordered, forming a pyrokinetic sphere,
"once again, that won't do much," Casendrin laughed,
"actually, I'm pretty sure it'll expel you from that body, then we can summon our mom or grams and vanquish your ghostly ass," Prue replied.
"Good thing about becoming an empath," Casendrin said, creating her own pyrokinetic sphere, "I can do this." She and Prue began circling each other, both ready to throw their spheres,
"catch!" she said simultaneously, both women fired their heat balls at the same time, creating a crossfire and explosion.
"Prue, she's too powerful, we have to leave," Piper stated,
"I'm not leaving, not until this bitch is toast," Prue argued, making a cloud of acid in-between her hands and releasing it at Casendrin/Melinda, who froze it with Piper's power and moved it back with Melinda's telekinesis.
"Prue, we need to go!" Paige exclaimed,
"you guys can, I'm not going anywhere," Prue growled, determined to defeat Casendrin and save Melinda.
"I'll write a spell," Phoebe said,
"but we can't cast it!" Paige stated,
"the kids can," Phoebe replied, beginning to scribble down a made-up spell,
"I am not putting my children in danger!" Piper argued,
"Patrice, Karis and Grace, they're the eldest, and most likely the most powerful, they can cast it," Phoebe said, lifting up the finished spell while Prue dodged a pyrokinetic sphere thrown by Casendrin.
"How're we gonna get them to Magic School without our powers?" Paige asked,
"call for Karis, she'll orb here," Piper replied,
"Karis! Karis! Bring Patsy and Gracie too!" Paige yelled, smiling as her daughter appeared out of orbs beside her, along with Patrice and Grace.
"Okay girls, repeat this spell after me," Phoebe instructed, as Casendrin finally got her hold on Prue and began draining her powers, though getting a premonition in the process. The kids obeyed and said the spell after their Aunt Phoebe:
"expel this evil soul,
expel this evil soul,
and return Melinda to fill the hole,
and return Melinda to fill the hole."
A white light consumed Melinda's body and when it was gone Casendrin's soul, though in solid form, stood beside Melinda, who also hosted her own soul. Clusters of light entered each of the sisters, restoring their powers,
"power, great power is within you," Casendrin gasped, staring at Prue with a look of fear on her face,
"premonition, she had a premonition," Phoebe whispered to her sisters,
"well I bet she didn't see this," Piper stated, gesturing with her hands and blowing up Casendrin's corporeal form, leaving just her spirit which faded from sight, leaving Prue to ponder what the evil witch had said.
To be continued…
Next chapter- Melinda is gone, and Prue is left with the unanswered question of what did Casendrin mean.
'What?' should be up soon.
