Sorry I haven't updated in a while. My internet wasn't working and then I started school.
The Dreams of Paige Matthews
We're Witches?
Back in Dreamland:
"What's the power of four?" Prue asked Paige.
"This book we found, it looks like a book of witchcraft. According to the incantation Phoebe read, we have powers," Paige told them.
"Witchcraft. You expect me to believe that witchcraft is real and that we have powers. Paige, is there something wrong with you? Have you been out in the sun too long?" Prue had a closed mind on the whole situation.
"Phoebe, turn the page."
Phoebe turned the page and saw a picture of a young woman. The heading read: "Melinda Warren." Phoebe read the page aloud. The book talked about how Melinda Warren was a powerful good witch with the power to move objects with her mind, freeze time, and see the future. When her village discovered what she could do, they burned her at the stake. Her daughter, Prudence, carried on the Warren line. The family branched out after many generations. This branching out is to eventually lead to sister witches who will be the most powerful witches of all time. They will be known as the Charmed ones.
"So you think that we are those sister witches?" Prue burst out laughing. "Well I for one don't believe a word of this. I'm going to bed and you should too. You really need your sleep if you believe that junk. The book is obviously just fiction."
"But Prue, look at it. It's so old. Why would Grams have kept this if it wasn't important?" Phoebe said.
"She probably didn't know it was up here, Phoebe," Piper told her. We've never been able to open that door before. How did you two get in here?"
"The door opened," Phoebe told them.
Prue went to bed and Piper followed. When it appeared that Phoebe wasn't going to bed for a while, Paige fast forwarded to tomorrow afternoon.
Ring! It was the phone. Paige rushed downstairs. The sisters were all gone so she answered it. The guy on the other line said he was her boss. Apparently she worked at the supermarket and she was being fired for not showing up and not calling in with an explanation. After hanging up the phone, Paige decided not to fast forward any more, because it might mess up this reality even more. She looked at the clock. It was 3 p.m.
A few minutes later, the phone rang again. This time it was Prue.
"Paige, what are you doing at home? I called the supermarket and they said they were going to fire you for not showing up for work."
"Yeah, they just called a few minutes ago. I can't really explain right now. Why are you trying to contact me?"
"Phoebe got in an accident, she's at the hospital."
"I'll be right down." Paige hung up the phone and without thinking orbed to a hospital restroom. She stepped outside the bathroom and rushed to the emergency care center. She saw Prue.
"Paige? I just got off the phone with you. How could you have possibly gotten here so fast?" Prue was shocked.
"Magic."
"Really?" Prue didn't believe her. "Paige why don't you just say you took a shortcut, there was very little traffic, you found a parking space right away, and you didn't have to wait for the elevator?"
"Prue, I got here in less than a minute. You called me at home. If what you said were true, I still would have needed to leave at least five minutes before you called. Face it, I got here by magic."
"Prue?" a voice interrupted.
Prue turned around. "Andy?"
Paige searched her brain; nothing registered with the name 'Andy.' "Who's Andy?"
"Paige, don't you remember me? Prue and I would always hang out together. You used to say that we were such a cute couple."
"Oh Andy!" Paige pretended to remember. "I didn't recognize you; it's been a while."
"Yes it has," Prue said. "Are you here on business?"
"Actually I've moved back to San Francisco. I'm Inspector Trudeau now."
"Carrying on the family business, your father must be very proud," Prue said.
"What can I say? In any other state I'd be a detective."
"Inspector's classier."
"Anyway, what are you two doing in the hospital?"
"Phoebe got in an accident," Paige said.
"Oh no, is she okay?"
"Yeah she'll be fine."
"Well, can I buy you a bad cup of coffee while we're waiting out here?"
"No thanks," Paige said.
"I meant Prue."
"Ooooohhh. I think he likes you," Paige whispered to Prue.
"Shut it." Prue whispered back as she elbowed her. She turned back to Andy. "I would love some coffee."
"Excuse me, Miss Halliwell," the lady at the front desk said. "Your sister is out of radiology. You can take her home now."
"Thank you," Prue said. "Sorry, I guess I'll have to take a rain check on that coffee," she told Andy.
"That's okay. I'll see you."
"Bye Andy."
Paige, Prue and Phoebe went to a restaurant to talk about what had happened. As it turned out, Phoebe had experienced some magic as well. She had a premonition of some boys being hit by a car. Phoebe got in an accident because she rode her bike in front of them to save them.
"I still can't believe you two. You actually believe you're witches!"
"Shhh. Would you keep it down," Paige whispered. "There might be demons listening, or warlocks."
"Demons. Warlocks. Have you two lost your minds?"
"No. Demons exist and as witches we have to stop them from killing the innocent. Whether you want to believe it or not, we have powers now and we have a duty to use them for good."
Prue was getting fed up by now. "Well I for one am not a witch. I don't have special powers and I certainly don't believe in demons." As she said that her glass of iced tea moved across the table.
"Really, 'cause that looks pretty special to me," Phoebe said.
Prue squinted her eyes at the glass and the iced tea began to have bubbles. "Did I do that?"
"I think so," Phoebe said. She turned to Paige. "Have you discovered your powers yet?"
"Yeah. I can do the same thing as Prue only it works differently."
"How so?"
Paige turned her attention to Prue's purse. She held out both her hands and said "purse." Prue's purse appeared in her hands in a wave of white lights.
"Hey, that's my purse."
"This must mean that Piper has the power to freeze time," Phoebe said.
"Do you believe us now Prue?" Paige asked.
"I need some aspirin."
The three of them went to a drug store and Prue went to the pain killer aisle.
"It seems to me that anger triggers your powers," Phoebe said. "Let's start with me coming home. You hated that I went to New York and now you hate that I've come back."
As she said that a box of aspirin flew of the shelf. Prue was in awe.
"Now lets talk about Dad and see what happens. You were mad that he left us. You're mad he never came back. You're mad I tried to find him. Dad Dad Dad Dad Dad."
Pill boxes came pouring off the shelves from both sides of them.
"Wow. You've got some issues," Paige said.
"Wait, so I'm a witch?" Prue was in shock.
"Now you believe us?"
"So let me get this straight," Prue said after the two sisters had explained everything to her on the way home. "I'm a witch with magical powers and my sisters are witches and it's our duty to protect the innocent and vanquish evil."
"That pretty much sums it up, yeah," Paige said.
"This is too weird."
Just then, Piper came rushing into the house panting. "We have to do something. I've just been attacked by a—"
"Warlock?"
I realize this chapter was not as exciting as you probably were hoping, but I needed much accuracy tying back to the original first episode for my story to work. I promise the next chapter will be way better. Keep reading. Also, I would like reviews. Don't hesitate to tell me what you think would make it better. I'm open to constructive criticism. Just don't be too harsh.
