The Premonitions
Piper came back into the living room with a tray loaded down with multiple potions. "I have exploding, acid, smoke, and somehow I managed to make one to freeze"
"Groovy," Peter said, not looking up from a spell that Phoebe had just written.
"Here are the crystals and candles you asked for," Paige said, setting a huge box of crystals and bag of candles on the table.
"Good," he replied, without looking up again. Writing a couple more words he declared, "I think we have our spell"
"Our spell?" Piper asked.
"Yep," he said finally looking up. "I have two spells to help us get everything we need to prepare a plan. I wrote one for building a shield around us, and tweaked one written by Phoebe to show us all the same premonition about why I'm truly being attacked. Now, we need to intersperse lit candles between dark and light crystals"
"We don't have any dark crystals," Paige said.
Peter waved his hand toward the coffee table, and there appeared a small stack of dark crystals. "You were saying?" Peter said smugly. Paige gave him a sarcastic grin in response.
After a couple minutes the shield was ready. Peter brought them all together, after Piper sent Leo off to a safe location with the boys. They gathered together, and together read Peter's spell. "In this circle of crystals both dark and light, Protect us from attacks through day and night. Keep opponents at bay from our Halliwell name,
And reinforce these crystals with candlelight flame"
After the spell was finished, the ring of crystals and candles began to glow with a blue light that stretched toward the ceiling like half of a sphere. After all the sides of the ring connected, Piper turned to him. "I think we know one reason why the Elders and demons want you dead. That is a powerful spell"
Peter showed them all Phoebe's spell and together they knelt and clasped hands. Then they read, "Around the clan of Halliwells, beings of magic do conspire. Grant to the Halliwells power of premonition, guide, inspire, And show them all the answers to the questions they desire." Then the spell took affect.
The four of them found themselves standing in front of the manor. It was in flames, and they could see Piper, Phoebe and Paige lying on the ground. The premonition Piper, Phoebe, and Paige slowly got to their feet, and Piper turned and froze everything as Paige yelled, "Damn you Peter"
Then they turned as the premonition Peter flamed in laughing. "I told you to kill me quickly if I was evil"
"But you weren't evil!" Phoebe cried throwing a rock at him which exploded before it came close enough to hit him. "You let vengeance take control of you and corrupt you. You could have helped us rid the world of evil, but no! You had to become the ultimate evil"
Peter laughed menaically and flamed out, leaving the Charmed Ones to their knees and tears
They snapped back to the present, and before the could drop their hands were caught up in another premonition.
This time they were in a completely different place. Everything was bright and spotless. The looked and saw all of them in what looked like a forest. Leo was playing football with an older Wyatt and Chris, while Piper watched amused. Paige and Phoebe were playing some kind of card game with two men they didn't recognize. As they watched Peter came walking out of a denser growth of trees. Wyatt and Chris yelled, "Uncle Peter!" and ran to him. They tackled him and he wrestled with them for a couple of minutes. Then he led them back to the table and together they sang "Happy Birthday" to Piper. When they heard Leo say that it was time for presents, Piper held up her hand. "No," she said. "I have all I want right here. Peter already gave me the greatest gift. No more demons, no more need for magic, and I can have a normal life with the man I love. What more do I need
The premonition ended and they were brought back to reality.
The girls turned and stared at Peter with shock in their faces. He held the balance of power in him, and he chose how he used it.
