A/N: Woo! We're half way done! I know, I know, you people all must want me to pay! Ugh, I know, I was supposed to have free time but then my Mom and I decided (well I talked her into it) that we would take a drive down to see a friend that I haven't seen in years and so I've been busy packing, getting my car fixed for the 6+ hour drive, and making reservations! (We leave on Wednesay.) So I apologize, profusely! I'm really sorry, but I don't have time to reply to reviews this chapter, as I have laundry and packing to get back to. But I will next chapter! BTW, this chapter is a play on, "For The Love Of Jesus."

Every Halliwell Counts

Chapter 20: For The Love Of Isis

Mrs. Fargo gaped.

Paige bobbed her head back and forth between Bast and her daughter. "What're you talking about?"

"Just exactly what spell did you cast?" Mr. Fargo asked, eyeing his only son.

"One of the ones in the Book of Shadows," Brandon replied.

"Mrs. Belland's Book?" Mrs. Fargo inquired.

"No, ours," Brandon replied.

"Without adult supervision?" Astral Prue asked, her blue eyes wide.

Brandon nodded, solemnly.

"You two should know the repercussions of spells at this age!" Astral Prue flamed, flinging her hands into the air.

"We were only trying to help!" Pearl yelled, angered that her aunt would be mad at them for trying to do what Halliwells were born to do.

"I told you to stay out of this!" Paige continued, wagging a warning finger at Pearl. "I want you to reverse the spell, now!"

Brandon let his head drop to his chest. "We can't."

"You...can't?" Phoebe echoed, now in the room as well. "Why not?"

"We already tried," Pearl admitted.

"Pearl, go upstairs, Brandon, stay here. We'll see what we can figure out." Phoebe said, waving her nieceaway.

"It won't work," Bast cut in.

"Why?" Persia asked, confused.

"The spell worked this way for a reason, if won't reverse until its finished what it was meant to do."

"Wonderful! Now we've got a runaway cat woman sister, a pair of kids who've taken on the powers of ancient deities, an evil Sun God on our asses, and the world at stake!" Paige threw her hands into the air in much a Piper type fashion. "I'll be back," she hissed before disappearing in her whitelighter orbs.

"I'll be home soon," Astral Prue said, looking at Phoebe. "I've got something from the crime scene that I need you to try and get a hit from."

"Sure, just hurry."

"Mhmm," Astral Prue muttered before vanishing in a red flare.

"What did she say?" Andy asked, before Darryl had even had time to get out of his car.

"She told me to say 'hi' to Sheila for her," Darryl replied as he pushed his door shut.

Andy glared at his partner. "You know what I mean. Why did she call you?"

"She wanted information."

"On?"

"Our case."

"Why?"

"Something about the world being at stake."

Andy placed his hands on the side of his head. "Great, she tells you, but not me."

"This is the spell you used?" Mrs. Fargo asked her son, pointing to the spell in her Book.

Brandon nodded.

"Can I see that a moment?" Phoebe asked, peeking her head over Mrs. Fargo's shoulder.

"Sure," Mrs. Fargo replied in a defeated tone.

Phoebe grasped the Book and as she did so, she felt a jolt of energy rush through her body and images began to flash in her mind.

----Premonition----

A woman dressed nearly exactly like Pearl, but much taller and definitely older, was standing next to a large golden pole. Her hands were pulled tightly behind her back and and bound by a glowing stream of light. Several crystals surrounded her, but all the crystals were shaped like small pyramids, and seemed to have hieroglyphics inscribed upon them.

Suddenly a huge ball of solar energy appeared in the center of the room and began to expand at an astounding rate, until it exploded, leavingan extremely well tanned and muscular man in its place. The man wore a white layer of cloth around his lower body, ending just above his knees, and trimmed in golden silk. His hands were cuffed with golden bracelets. He turned to the woman and a wicked smile appeared upon his face. "I've found it," he boomed. With a click of his fingers, a burst of solar energy crackled and a massive golden staff appeared in his right hand and then he pointed it at the floor. A beam of solar power shot from the staff and caused a large golden statue of Isis to appear, decorated with jewels and ivory. "And now you'll all pay!" He held out his hand and what looked like a fireball, but in bright orange, appeared in his hand. He threw the solar ball at the statue and it caused the statue to explode into dust. But when he looked back at the woman, Isis, she was still alive.

----

Pearl let out a deafening scream and then suddenly her body morphed into a pile of Egyptian sand, before a magical wind appeared and blew the dust in all directions, leaving nothing left of the Blessed One.

----Premonition----

"What did you see?" Brandon asked, jumping to his feet as Phoebe's scream resounded through the room.
