Disclaimer: Penny, Patty, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe Halliwell don't belong to me, as do Andy Trudeau, Leo Wyatt, Darryl Morris, Clay, Victor Bennett, and any other characters that appear on the show. Quake also doesn't belong to me. The idea for this story belongs to me, as do Eric and Barbara Jones, Kelly Phillips, and Amanda Williams. Please e-mail me with any comments you may have at
Author's Note: Have many of you were surprised that I am going to be incorporating Paige into this story? I know I was! I looked at the ways I could reconstitute the Power of Three and saw that this was the best way! And Phoebe will be used for another part, coming soon! I've received questions about whether or not Andy actually was under a spell when he shot Phoebe. And the answer is yes, Andy was under a spell when he shot Phoebe, Amanda cast the spell on him. Kelly will meet a man sometime soon; she will not remain a single woman for long! And no, the man will not be Andy. It'll be a new character I'll introduce!
Enough of my talking, I now present to you the very first full Flashback Chapter of this story. I hope you enjoy it!
Flashback (Con't)
Penny Halliwell is sitting on her bed. It is now 6 in the morning. She senses a teleportation and Ryan teleports in.
"Penny, what's wrong?" asks Ryan, as he teleports in. "I sensed you were hurting."
"I'm gonna die," says Penny.
"What, when?" asks Ryan, sitting next to her on the bed. "What are you talking about?"
"I've been having these dreams lately and they've been quite prophetic. In the dreams, I develop a heart conditions and die. So, I cast the 'Question & Answer' spell earlier and it said that I would die the way my dreams depict it," explains Penny, sadness evident in her voice.
"Oh, Penny, I'm so sorry," says Ryan, sadly.
"And I then cast the 'Foresight' spell and I saw that my granddaughters would discover their powers and that after 3 years, Prue would be killed by a demon. Then, Piper and Phoebe would learn of Paige," says Penny.
"You mean the Paige you told me about?" asks Ryan, curiously.
"Yes. I cannot believe that Prue is going to die and Paige will be discovered," says Penny, hysterically.
"How long until your granddaughters discover their powers?" asks Ryan.
"About 3 and ½ years," says Penny. "I was hoping maybe you could help me."
"Me?" asks Ryan. "How can I help you?"
"I don't want my girls to discover and learn how to use their powers on their own. I want them to have some type of guidance," says Penny.
"And you want me to be their guide?" asks Ryan, not believing his ears.
"Yes, I do. You're such a powerful and intelligent witch, and my girls could learn so much from you," says Penny.
"So, does that mean you're gonna tell them about their destiny?" asks Ryan.
"No, I was thinking of starting with Prue. She is the oldest and I think she can handle the secret the best," explains Penny. "I would use a spell to unlock her powers, so that when you say a magic word she can tap into her powers."
"Ok, let's do it," says Ryan, ready to help in any way he can.
"Can you take me up to the attic?" asks Penny.
Ryan offers Penny her hand and she takes it. They teleport out.
When they arrive in the attic, Penny walks over to the Book of Shadows.
Ryan follows her and sees a spell entitled, "Unlocking,"
"This spell was in the Book?" asks Ryan, never hearing of it before.
"No, I wrote it," says Ryan.
"Been planning this long?" asks Ryan.
"Ever since I cast this spell," says Penny, walking over to the table.
She lights 3 candles and drops them into the bowl.
"Unlocking is a tricky spell,
But with words it will go well,
The magic in this word,
Will unlock the powers of Prue Halliwell," recites Penny aloud. There is a small explosion.
"What is the magic word to unlock her powers?" asks Ryan.
"Relba," says Penny, reaching into the bowl and pulling out a piece of paper. 'Relba' is written on the piece of paper.
"When do you want this plan to take affect?" asks Ryan.
"As soon as possible. Prue is going to see her fiancée tomorrow around 1, so that would be a perfect time to start," says Penny.
"Ok, good. I'll bump into her and I'll be holding coffee so she'll spill it on me and I'll ask her to walk me home," says Ryan.
"Perfect," says Penny.
"But, how are we going to get her to use her powers?" asks Ryan.
"A demon must attack," says Penny. "And I have the perfect one."
She scribbles something on a piece of paper.
Penny recites the following spell:
"Magic forces black and white,
Reaching out through space and light,
Be he far, or be he near,
Bring me the demon Belthazor here," recites Penny, aloud.
Belthazor appears in a cloud of smoke, only he is in his human form, which we recognize as Cole Turner.
"What do you want with me, witch?" asks Cole, snarling.
"I need a favor," says Penny.
"A witch needing a demon's help?" says Cole. "Now, that's a new one."
"I need you to attack Ryan," says Penny, pointing to him. "Tomorrow at about 10 after 1."
"And what if I refuse?" asks Cole.
"Refuse me and I will vanquish your sorry ass," threatens Penny, dead serious.
"Fine, you have a deal," says Cole, shimmering out.
Penny turns and looks at Ryan. "Everything's set, you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be," says Ryan.
Flashback-May 1995
Prue Halliwell descends the stairs of the Halliwell, going to meet her fiancé, Roger.
"Grams, I'm leaving," says Prue.
"Ok, be careful," says Penny, entering the foyer. "What time do you think you'll be home?"
"Probably about 5," says Prue. "I love you, Grams."
"Love you, too," says Grams, as Prue leaves.
She wonders how her granddaughters will handle their destiny. Will they be able to accept all the responsibilities that came with being the Charmed Ones?
Prue is walking on the street, eyes closed, when she accidentally bumps into a man.
She opens her eyes and sees the nicest looking man she's ever met. We recognize him as Ryan Scott, only younger. Prue sees that she's caused him to spill his coffee.
"Oh My God! I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going," says Prue, apologetically.
"It's ok, I'm fine," says Ryan. "Ryan Scott."
"Prue Halliwell," says Prue.
"Pleased to meet you," says Ryan, as they shake hands.
"Again, I'm so sorry. I'll pay for the dry cleaning if you want," says Prue.
"Prue," says Ryan, locking eyes with her. She's mesmerized by his eyes and knows that she always will be. "Don't worry about it."
"Can I do anything for you?" asks Prue. She needs to do something for him.
"You walk me home and we'll call it even," says Ryan, staring at her. He really likes her and feels a connection with her, and he wonders if she feels the same.
"Sure, where do you live?" asks Prue.
"1 block up," says Ryan.
They walk in silence and when they arrive at his house, she is amazed.
"That's your house?" asks Prue, in amazement.
It was one of these mansions, painted white. It looked like it had about 10 rooms, gigantic kitchens, living rooms, and dining rooms. She saw that he had a driveway that could fit 4 cars.
"Yeah, I'm a prominent lawyer at Gold, Heart & Finch," says Ryan, as they head to the front door.
All of a sudden, a demon appears that we recognize as Belthazor (Cole's demon form).
"Oh My God! What the hell is that?" asks Prue, freaked out.
"Stay back, Prue," says Ryan, standing in front of her.
Belthazor releases an energy ball but Ryan puts up his deflection shield and deflects it back at him.
Ryan teleports behind Belthazor and sweep kicks him.
Belthazor recovers and throws Ryan into the pool.
He then looks at Prue and aims a fireball at her.
"Relba!" cries Ryan, still in the pool. "Prue, squint your eyes, quickly!"
As the fireball is barely an inch away from her, Prue squints her eyes, and the fireball is telekinetically sent against the house.
"Again, Prue. This time, aim at him," calls Ryan.
Prue squints her eyes again and this time Belthazor is moved backwards against the wall of the house.
"I'll be back," snarls Belthazor, as he shimmered away.
Ryan comes out of the pool and approaches Prue. Prue, shaken up, notices how hot he looks. His hair is so soft and wet, his body is dripping wet with water, and you can see the outline of his bulging muscles through his shirt.
"Let's go inside and I'll explain everything," says Ryan, as he opens the door.
Prue enters the house after him. For whatever reason, she trusts him and knows that he would never hurt her or let anything bad happen to her.
Flashback-May 1995 (Con't)
Prue is sitting on Ryan's living room couch, shaking. What she had seen as well as done freaked her out. Ryan enters the living room with a glass of water and hands it to her.
"Thanks," says Prue, sipping the water. Ryan smiles.
"I know you must have some questions and I'm ready to answer them," Ryan tells Prue.
"Where's your bathroom?" asks Prue, suddenly covering her mouth. "I think I'm gonna throw up."
"It's down the hall, second door on the left," yells Ryan, as Prue runs down the hall to the bathroom.
Obviously, what she has seen and done has shaken her to her core. It was so much that it made her physically sick.
In a flash of light, Penny Halliwell appears before Ryan.
"Penny, nice to see you," says Ryan. "Water?"
"No, thanks," says Penny. "What happened with Prue?"
"She tapped into her powers and used them," explains Ryan. "But, she's now in the bathroom it made her so sick."
"No surprise there. This is very scary," says Penny. "I wish we didn't have to do it like this but there's no other option."
"I'm here to explain everything to her and help her, when she's ready," says Ryan.
"Thanks, Ryan. I have to go now. I'll check back in later," says Penny, disappearing in the same flash of light, with which she arrived.
Ryan pours himself a glass of water and sits thinking. In a few minutes, he would change Prue Halliwell's life forever!
Flashback-May 1995 (Con't)
Prue comes out of the bathroom and sees that Ryan is sitting on the couch.
"Feeling better?" asks Ryan, concerned. He really cares for her, even though he just met her.
"Yeah, much," says Prue, sitting down.
"So, I'm sure you have a lot of questions," says Ryan.
"What are you?" asks Prue, suddenly.
"I'm a witch," says Ryan.
"Is that how you did what you did?" asks Prue, leaning back on the couch.
"Yes, I have magical powers," says Ryan.
"And what was that?" asks Prue, referring to what had attacked them.
"That was a demon," says Ryan.
"Am I a witch too?" asks Prue, curious. She has to be to have used magical powers.
"Yes, you are. But, your destiny is yet to be uncovered," says Ryan, sounding cryptic.
"What do you mean?" asks Prue, leaning forward, curious to learn more.
"Let me explain," begins Ryan.
"You and your sister, Piper and Phoebe, will one day become the Charmed Ones, the most powerful good witches the world has ever known," says Ryan.
"Then, how did I just use my powers?" asks Prue.
"Your grandmother, Penny, gave me the ability to unlock your powers early," says Ryan.
"And why would she do that?" asks Prue, arching her eyebrow.
"Because through spells, she's seen her own death. And when she dies she doesn't want to leave you and your sister to discover and learn how to use your powers on your own. She wants you to have guidance!" explains Ryan.
Prue sits there, ridden with shock. Grams was going to die and she and her sisters would become witches.
"Ok, let's say I believe you, what's next?" asks Prue.
"Training," says Ryan.
Prue sits there, trying to swallow all of their new information she has received.
"First, go home and lie down and relax and let all of this sink in," says Ryan. "I'll be in touch."
Prue leaves.
Halliwell Manor-Flashback (Con't)
Prue opens the front door. She feels completely different than she did when she left earlier. When she left earlier, she felt weak and normal. Now, she feels strong and special. And she was special. She has special powers and a special destiny.
Grams walks in.
"Prue, you okay?" asks Grams, knowing that Prue just received her powers.
"Yeah, Grams, I'm fine," says Prue, blankly.
"Ok," says Grams. Prue seems mesmerized by what had happened and Penny was not surprised.
Prue takes off up the stairs and Penny goes into the living room, where she finds Ryan. He's sitting on the couch, arms folded.
"How'd it go?" asks Grams, sitting in the chair.
"Perfect, everything went off without a hitch. The plan is well underway," says Ryan, smiling.
"Thank you, Ryan. This means so much to me and if the girls knew what you were doing, I know they'd thank you too," says Grams, grateful.
"It's no problem," says Ryan, teleporting out.
