Disclaimer: Penny, Patty, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe Halliwell don't belong to me, as do Andy Trudeau, Leo Wyatt, Darryl Morris, and any other characters that appear on the show. Quake also doesn't belong to me. The idea for this story belongs to me. Please e-mail me with any comments you may have at
Author's Note: Starting with this chapter, I am going to be including flashbacks that will explain the part of the story that only Ryan, Leo, and Grams know. You guys have been waiting patiently for it and you will finally be getting your wish! Also, that story leads into Prue and Ryan's history. Be prepared for chapters that include flashbacks and drama happening in the present time.
On with chapter 19, hope you enjoy it!
Flashback-March 1995
Penny Halliwell awakes from another dream, the fifth one this week. She's been dreaming of her own death. In her dreams, she develops a heart condition and unfortunately, dies. But, the dreams feel so real! What if they're like prophecies?
Penny quickly gets out of bed. In order to confirm her suspicions, she knows she has to go up to the attic. Penny has to go up to the attic without waking her granddaughters. She decides to cast a transfer spell.
"3D places as I know,
To the attic I will go," recites Penny, aloud, as she disappears in white lights.
She appears in the attic and walks over to the Book of Shadows and opens up to the 'Question & Answer' spell. In order for this spell to work, Penny must write her question on a piece of paper and drop it into a bowl, along with a white candle, while reciting a spell.
She quickly gathers all of the necessary ingredients and performs the spell.
Penny drops the white candle into the bowl and then drops in the piece of paper with her question on it. The question is, "Are my dreams actually prophesies? Will I die the way my dreams depict it?"
She stands over the bowl and recites the following spell:
"Question, answer, is the spell,
Help me know what's to come,
So peace of mind, I can have."
There is a big bang and a flash of light and when it's all over, Penny reaches into the bowl and finds that the white candle and her piece of paper with the question on it are gone. But, there's another piece of paper in the bowl. She opens the folded piece of paper and is shocked at the answer she has received. The piece of paper says, "Yes! That is how it will happen."
Penny looks down at the paper and cannot believe it. She's going to die of a heart condition and leave her granddaughters to discover and learn how to use their powers on their own.
Penny would not allow that, it was time to think of a plan!
Halliwell Manor-Present
Everyone is in the basement, which has been converted into a training area. It's much like the one Phoebe and Cole trained in during Season 4.
They are all wearing workout clothes and have paired off. The 3 teachers are Leo, Ryan, and Kelly, and the 3 students are Prue, Piper, and Phoebe. Each teacher has taken a student. Leo is working with Piper, Kelly is working with Phoebe, and much to Prue's dismay, Ryan is working with her.
"Listen, Prue, I know you're not too thrilled about me working with you, but you gotta make the best of it," says Ryan.
"Says who?" asks Prue, sarcastically. She's angry with him and her anger has only deepened.
"Prue, don't be like that," says Kelly. "He's trying, give him a shot."
Ryan smiles at Kelly, gratefully. He knows Prue would at least listen to Kelly.
"Ok, so, let's get started," says Leo.
Leo, Kelly, and Ryan go in front of the sisters.
Leo steps on one of the floorboards, cracking it. Little did he know, that within seconds, the Woogeyman would be released.
"What do you do when a demon appears out of nowhere?" Ryan asks the sisters.
The sisters stare wide-eyed, as the Woogeyman begins to form.
"What's wrong?" asks Kelly, as she, Leo, and Ryan turn around.
"What the hell is that?" asks Phoebe, as Ryan, Leo, and Kelly back up towards them, so the 6 of them are all standing in a line.
Piper raises her hands to try to freeze it, but to no avail.
"My freeze isn't working," says Piper, panicking.
Ryan raises his hands and tries to use his telekinesis, but it doesn't work.
"Kelly, let's teleport everyone out of here," Ryan tells Kelly.
Kelly nods, as she and Ryan concentrate and everyone teleports out of the basement.
They all reappear in the kitchen.
Leo runs and quickly shuts the door to the basement.
"What was that thing?" asks Prue, freaking out.
"It was the Woogeyman," says Anthony, orbing in.
"The what man?" asks Piper.
"The Woogeyman," explains Anthony. "It's more or less a shadow."
"How do we get rid of it?" asks Ryan.
"Phoebe knows," says Anthony, looking directly at her.
Everyone turns and looks at Phoebe.
"When I was much younger, I once walked into the basement and saw Grams fighting it and I was so scared," explains Phoebe. "Prue, Piper, don't you remember it from Gram's story?"
Prue and Piper look at Phoebe, amazed.
"I do remember Grams telling that story to us all the time," says Piper.
"But, she said it's only unearthed during earthquakes," says Prue, remembering.
"Right, because only an earthquake was powerful enough to unearth it. But, what if someone stepped on the floorboard on top of it, allowing it to escape?" suggests Phoebe.
"That's probably it," says Ryan.
"Phoebe, in your grandmothers' story, did she tell you how to get rid of it?" asks Kelly, anxiously.
"Yes, I do remember a spell but Prue and Piper need to say it with me," says phoebe, as she opens the basement door.
The Woogeyman has consumed the basement.
The sisters grab hands. "Do you guys remember the spell?" Phoebe asks her sisters.
They nod their heads.
"I am light,
I am one too strong to fight,
Return to dark where shadows dwell,
You cannot have this Halliwell,
Go away and leave my sight,
And take with you this endless night," recite Prue, Piper, and Phoebe aloud and in unison. There is a blinding flash of light, as the Woogeyman returns to where it came from.
Everyone looks at each other. "Back to training?" suggests Leo.
They all head back to the basement, knowing that training is the most important thing right now!
