A/N: In a previous fic, 'Charmed Meets the Four Corners', I wrote about a group of witches in New York called the Four Corners. They'll be appearing in this chapter, just so you know.

Chapter 6: Help From Old Friends

"You guys get to Piper," Cole said. "I'll hold him off." Paige grabbed Phoebe and started to orb.

"Wait!" Phoebe yelled. She ran over to Cole and kissed him. "Be careful." She and Paige orbed to magic school. She reappeared to find Piper yelling at Leo.

"How come you didn't tell us?" she asked. Then she looked at Phoebe and Paige. "What are you two doing here?"

"It's Rindo," Phoebe said. "He's still alive."

"So I've found out," Piper said, looking at Leo.

"What do you mean?" Paige asked.

"I'll explain," Leo said. "After you three got back from New York a few months ago, Rindo attacked you. He started an invasion of demons that infiltrated the whole city, killing innocents everywhere. In the war, Paige was killed. The Elders knew there was nothing left to do but get the help of Tempus, the demon of time. So I rearranged time."

"Confusing," Phoebe said.

"I died?" Paige asked. Leo nodded.

"Phoebe too," Leo added. "Almost Piper."

"Hard to believe that we forgot all about that," Phoebe said.

"You didn't exactly forget," Leo said. "It never happened since I turned back time."

"That doesn't matter now," Paige said. "We have something bigger to worry about. Phoebe kissed Cole."

"You did what?" Piper demanded.

"Paige!" Phoebe yelled. "That's not what we should be focusing on. Rindo is fighting Cole. Cole might die trying to save us."

"Not unless he has the Avatar killing potion," Leo said. "Which he doesn't."

"Doesn't matter," Phoebe said. "We have to go back and help him."

"No," Paige said. "He said he'd hold Rindo back, we have to focus on a way to kill him."

"Why don't you go ask the Elders about something," Piper said to Andy. He nodded his head and orbed. "I'll stay here and look through these books for something. You two go give our old friends a visit." Paige grabbed Phoebe and orbed across the country.

"There's gotta be something, somewhere in these books," Piper said.

"I'll help you look," Leo said, walking over to her. "What exactly are we looking for though?"

"I'm not sure yet," Piper said. "Anything that can tell us a way to stop him. Maybe a spell or a potion." He and Piper grabbed a stack of books each and took them over to a table to look through them.


"This is a waste of time," Rindo yelled. "Why do you help these witches?"

"Because I love one," Cole said.

"You can't kill me and unfortunately, I can't kill you. So why don't you just let me on by?"

"You can't enter the magic school," Cole said. "You're evil."

"I don't need to go to the magic school," Rindo said. "I sense that two of them aren't there." Before Cole could do anything, Rindo shimmered-out.

"No!" Cole shouted. He had no way of finding out where the two sisters were. He had no way of warning or helping them.


"Paige! Phoebe!" Jordan yelled. "What are you doing here?"

"Hey, Jordan," Phoebe said. "We have an issue."

"What is it?" Annie asked, walking into the living room they were in.

"Where are Charles and David?" Paige asked.

"They're slaying some vampires at the moment," Jordan said. "Better to do it in the daytime while they're sleeping."

"We need your guys' help," Phoebe said.

"Why?" Annie asked. "What's going on?"

"Rindo is what's going on," Paige said.

"I thought we vanquished him," Jordan said.

"We thought so too," Phoebe said. "We need you guys to come up with some way of stopping him. We're working on it all we can, but we haven't been able to yet."

"We need to go, quick," Paige said to Phoebe. "We can't lead him here to them."

"We'll be on it," Annie said. "Go quick. With just the two of us, we'll be helpless against him."

"We're already gone," Paige said, orbing her and Phoebe out. They rematerialized in a warehouse.

"What are we doing here?" Phoebe asked.

"I'm going to leave you here for a minute," Paige said. "I'm going to orb back to the manor to see if it's safe. We can't risk both of us being killed."

"Wait, Paige!" Phoebe yelled, but Paige was already orbing away. She reappeared in the attic.

"Paige!" Cole yelled. "Rindo's just left to get two of you. I don't know which two though. He said two of you were out of the magic school and then he left."

"Oh no," Paige said. "Phoebe." She grabbed Cole and orbed to the warehouse that she had left Phoebe at. She saw Rindo zapping her with a bolt of lightning. "Phoebe!" Cole shot out his own lightning. Rindo saw that he was out numbered and shimmered-out. "Andy!" Cole ran over to Phoebe.

"Phoebe," he said. "Are you okay?" She had cuts and bruises visible all over her face.

"Andy!" Paige yelled again. Andy orbed down to them.

"I was speaking with the…" He stopped when he saw Phoebe. He ran over to her and healed her. She opened her eyes and gasped for air. She saw Cole holding her in his arms.

"Cole," she said softly.

"This isn't the time," Paige said impatiently. "Let's get to the Book of Shadows." Paige and Andy both orbed back to the manor. Cole faded-out to the manor while holding Phoebe.

"What are we looking for?" Phoebe asked while Paige was frantically flipping through the Book.

"No idea," Paige said. "Can't you Avatars kill him off?"

"They can't do that," Cole said. "They gave you that chance before."

"Oh yeah," Paige said sarcastically. "A lot of a chance they gave. They were killing innocents." She suddenly stopped looking through the Book. "I'm going to go check on Piper and Leo."

"Okay," Phoebe said. "We'll stay here and keep searching." Paige orbed to magic school.

"How are you two going?" she asked.

"We haven't found anything," Piper said.

"Neither have…" she stopped talking as her phone started to ring. "Hello?" Piper and Leo heard a male voice on the other side. "David!" Paige yelled, melting in his words.

"Paige," he said. "We think we have something that might help you. It's a curse that might banish him."

"Really?" Paige asked. "How do we do it?" She grabbed Piper's pen and notebook.

"You mix a pinch of comfry root, a pinch of clematis seed, a handful of pomegranate seeds, a tip of a mandrake root, and a chalice of twice blessed water. After you mix that, boil it twice and let it set for fifteen minutes"

"Alright," Paige said. "Bye." Piper took the notebook and looked at the directions.

"Let's get working on this curse."
