A/N: Zythe: Although I know it would be historically correct to pair Andy with Susan. I didn't choose her b/c I had done that in one of my others stories, Inner Demons, and I just didn't feel like repeating myself. Wyatt333: Piper will not have anymore children, at least not naturally or in this story; Phoebe, however I'm still up in the air about her. As for Glenn returning, for Plot reasons, I am declining to comment, so you'll have to wait and see! PrueTrudeau, CCMcKenna and Cutelittlebritt: Thanks for commenting, your reviews really keep me going! Princess Pinky: What can I say about Piper and Phoebe except not everyone learns from his or her mistakes. Btw, the Paige part of this piece was written just for you!

Eternally Charmed: Paige of Darkness

P3

Paige blinked into the back storeroom of P3 and then casually sauntered up to the bar.

"Hit me with a white wine spritzer, Wally"

"Paige? Are you sure?" Piper's regular, bartender stared at her strangely. Everyone at the club knew that Paige didn't' drink. A former teenage alcoholic, Paige normally stuck to club soda, or regular cola.

"I said hit me" she whispered reaching over the bar and grabbing a cocktail cherry. Wally watched baffled as she plopped it into her mouth and then pulled it back out in a rather seductive manner. "Like what you see?"

"Sure Paige" he answered flatly with a curled lip.

"Oh Madonna!" Paige's face lit up at the sound of material girl's smash hit, Get into the Groove. It was 80's night at the club via local artists and Paige felt like dancing.

Quickly Paige downed the wine spritzer just seconds after Wally set before her and then headed out to the dance floor earning everyone's attention with a provocative dance. Dozen's of men soon began to bop all around her, vying for her exclusive attention. Some even tried to rub up against her.

"Oooh, you naughty, naughty boy" Paige teased latching on the lapel's of a young college student's shirt. Roughly she pulled him to her and kissed the man aggressively. Enjoying the attention, it wasn't long before Paige led two strange men into the alcove that was normally reservered for her sisters.

"I'll get to you in a minute" she told a couple more awaiting eager suitors. "Hey Wally bring us a bottle of the house best!"

Wally shrugged nodding and reached for the phone behind the bar.

"Paige!" No more than fifteen minutes had passed when Paige found Piper and Phoebe standing directly over her. Piper especially was looking pissed.

"Are your sister's available too?" One of the men asked, leering at Phoebe.

"We're married!" Piper shoved her way through the crowd and roughly took a hold of Paige's arm yanking the half drunken witch to her feet.

"Hey I'm not ready to leave" Paige shoved Piper back, causing her middle sister's nostril's to flare.

"Oh yes you are Missy!" With a quick flick of her wrists, Piper instantly froze the entire club, Paige included.

"She froze?" Phoebe looked at Piper absentmindedly.

"SHE'S EVIL!" Piper ran a hand through her long brown hair, "C'mon let's get her home"

Alternative Universe

A cab pulled up in front of the manor and weary looking Prue got out, handing the driver forty dollars. Thankfully, Roger had been gullible enough to leave his wallet inside the overcoat he'd left laying over the chair in Prue's hospital room. The overcoat didn't do much for her appearance, but it did hide the fact that she was clad in nothing but a blue and white checked hospital gown.

Moving gingerly, Prue slowly made her way up the steps to the manor to front door. "Okay, please let my powers work, please" she pleaded flicking two fingers in the hopes that she could telekinetically open the door.

"No of course not" As fate would have it, nothing happened. Why was it exactly that when they traveled to the past or another dimension that they never had their powers? Prue shook her head and bent to find the key that she and her sisters had always kept hidden in a large planter.

"It's still here" After letting herself into the house, Prue stood in the doorway for several seconds. The entry was different more modern. "Hello?" She listened for moment and when no answer came, Prue delicately made her way through the house glancing at all the changes.

"Yuck" A large wedding picture of she and Roger hung in the living room. Leather furniture and exotic looking antiques replaced the comfortable furniture and warm homey collectibles that made the manor uniquely reflective of the Halliwell name.

"Piper! Phoebe! Paige!" it didn't seem possible that they weren't apart of her life like Roger had indicated.

"The attic" there had to be a solution to all of this in the attic. The stairs proposed quite a challenge as Prue shuffled at a turtles pace up each step. Sweat covered her forehead and pain radiated through her tender abdomen.

When she reached the top step. Prue discovered that the attic door was bolted shut, just, as it had been right after Grams died, before she and her sisters had become witches. "Ugh! This can't be happening!" Frustrated, Prue slammed her hand hard against the door. "I need this door to open!" she growled, through a clenched jaw.

"Open!" Prue slammed her already weakened body against the door. "Open!" The second time the door gave way just a little giving the hope of renewed strength. Just once more. Putting all of her weight into it, Prue hurled her petite form against the door. Success! This time the door flew open causing her to sprawl to the floor. She'd done it.

"What? How can this be?" After she'd recovered, Prue looked around the attic, gaping. The attic was empty; completely empty and spotless. Shaking she pulled back to her feet. "Wh-Where's the book?"

"What book?" Roger asked entering the doorway. "Sweetheart, why did you leave the hospital?"

Backing further into the room, Prue's voice shook as she spoke. Dizziness and exhaustion were starting to get the best of her. "I want my book!"

Roger took two steps into the room. "Prudence you're starting to scare me. Just calm down and let's go back to the hospital."

"Not before I get the book!" The closer Roger got, the more Prue backed away looking for something to defend herself.

"Okay, tell me the name of the book and I'll get it for you." Roger tried to pacify her.

"It's the book of Shadows!" Prue hissed with venom. Clearly her thoughts were clouded by a feverish mind. Definitely, the stress of the surgery had begun to take it's toll.

"The book of what?" Roger was really starting to look perplexed. "Maybe you need to lie down, just let me take you back to the hospital and Dr. Jacobs can you a sedative, then that way when you wake up-"

"Okay" Prue said calmly, glancing over her shoulder. In the corner behind the door she'd spotted an old set of fireplace tools. "Can you just go down to the bedroom and bring me a clean robe and some slippers? I really can't go back to the hospital like this"

"Sure" Roger smiled. "I'll be right back"

Cowering behind the door, Prue raised the fireplace poker over her head, waiting for Roger to return. "Steady Prue just stay steady" Her teeth sank into her bottom lip when she heard him coming up the stairs.

"Prue?"

Prue waited until he was just inside the doorway and then brought down the blunt end of the poker solidly across the back of his neck and head.

"That was too easy" Prue quipped stepping over Roger as his limp body fell to the floor.

Making her way outside, Prue spotted Roger's Mercedes in the drive and as luck would have it the keys were in it. Opening the driver door, Prue wasted no time in throwing the car into reserves and then headed down Prescott Street. Automatically she went to the one place where she always sought comfort; the swing at Golden Gate park.

"Just a little further. Just a little further" she panted coaxing until she made it to the swing where she collapsed into the wooden slats with a solid thud. Prue closed her eyes, letting herself escape for several minutes into a peaceful exhaustion. She was nearly asleep when she heard a voice that made her heart jump.

"Prue?"

"Andy?" Prue's eyes popped open instantly with her spirit finding renewed energy.

"Andy!" she cried leaping into his arms without a second a thought.

Manor: Present Day

"You can't keep me here" Paige struggled against the magical bonds that Piper and Phoebe used to keep her confined to a chair. They were the same bonds they had used on the shape shifter.

"Don't be ridiculous, Paige we're your family. You need us" Piper stood several feet away, with her arms crossed and eyes glaring.

"I don't need anyone"

"That's it the spell backfired, evil has taken over"

"No it hasn't" Phoebe grunted, moving towards Paige. "Our sister is still in there somewhere"

"I'm not your sister anymore"

Phoebe placed her hands on her knees bending to Paige's level. "Yes you are. You are our family and we need your help."

"What's in it for me?" Paige asked greedily, preparing to make a deal.

Phoebe nodded slightly and pursed her lips, "help us and we just might be able to lead you to the shape shifter who killed Glenn"

Glenn? Vengeance filled Paige's mind. Evil as she was someone needed to pay for taking her mate.

"Wouldn't it be fun to rip him to shreds?" Phoebe teased.

Paige thought for a moment. "What do I need to do?"

Phoebe circled around the chair and untied Paige's bonds. "Just concentrate, and blink us to Amanda. Piper and I will do the rest"

Paige stood up, missing the incredulous glance that Piper was giving Phoebe.

"You sure about this?"

Phoebe leaned into Piper whispering and motioning to the vile in her hand. "Once we have Amanda, and Prue, we hit her with the potion."

Piper looked down at the vile and then took a hold of Phoebe's hand. "Things are just never that simple".

Phoebe stuck the vile in her pocket and then grabbed Paige's hand. "Remember just think about Amanda"

"Okay" Conjuring a mental image of her beloved niece, Paige blinked transporting all of three of them to Dantalian's underground lair.

"It worked" Phoebe looked about and the three sisters released hands. Slowly they walked through the cavern until they reached the main alter room where Phoebe spotted the large bird like cage that held Amanda.

"Amanda" Phoebe grabbed Piper's hand and together they ran towards the cage, where they found the little girl cowering and sniffling in a distraught. "Amanda sweetie we're here"

"Th-the mean demon lady. She made Mommy and Daddy disappear" Amanda raised her tear filled eyes to her two aunts.

"We'll get them back" Piper laminated, "now cover your eyes"

Amanda did as she was told while Piper attempted to blow up the bars the cage. Piper flicked her wrists causing an explosion. The explosive blast hit the bars of the cage and backfired, landing both Piper and Phoebe in the dirt.

"Magic Proof" Piper groaned, getting a hand up from Phoebe.

"Maybe it's only white magic proof. Paige!"

"You bellowed?" Paige replied blinking beside them.

"We need you to get Amanda out of the cage"

"Fine" Paige shook her head rolling her eyes as she held out her hand. "Bars!" Instantly the bars enclosing Amanda in the cage disappeared orbing into Paige's hands. Thoughtlessly, Paige cast the bars aside.

Amanda jumped into Piper's arms. "You're okay, "Piper whispered, kissing the girls forehead.

"That was too easy," Phoebe assessed.

"It certainly was" Dantailian appeared behind them raising her hand in the same fashion of her white magic counter part. Telekinetic blasts flew from her fingertips sending Piper Phoebe and Amanda straight through a rock wall.

"That the best you got?" Paige sneered, unfazed.

"You are evil" Dantalian smiled pleased looking Paige up and down.

"Yes my Queen" intoxicated by her power, Paige knelt at Dantalian's feet "What may I do to please you?"

"Kill your sisters"
