Chapter Two
"Billie!" Piper yelled up the stairs. Billie came down a few minutes later. She found Piper at the bottom, waiting for her.
"Yes, Piper?" she asked.
"I was just wondering what you were doing," Piper said. "What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to draw out this girl from my dream," Billie said. "It's hard because of my crappy artistic skills, but you want me to do something for you, don't you?"
"Actually, yes," Piper said. "I need some potion ingredients. I was wondering if you could go get them?"
"What about Phoebe?"
"She's at work."
"Leo?"
"Keeping the boys busy."
"Fine," Billie said. She threw her sketchpad down on the table and grabbed her jacket. Piper looked down at the table and dropped the plate she was holding.
"Billie," she said. "You said you had a dream of her?"
"Yeah," Billie said. "Why?" Piper didn't answer, she just got out a photo album. She started flipping through it. Billie walked up next to her, wondering what she was doing. Piper pulled out a picture and showed it to her.
"Is this the girl from your dream?"
"Oh my god, that's her," Billie said. "Who is she?"
"Prue," Piper said. "My older sister. She was killed about five years ago."
"That's terrible," Billie said. "Why would I have a dream of her then?"
"I don't know," Piper said. "But it's got to mean something, I mean you don't just dream of someone you've never seen before."
"Paige!" Billie yelled. Paige appeared a moment later.
"What now, Billie?" she asked before even fully materializing.
"I found out who the girl was," Billie said.
"Really, who?" Paige asked, crossing her arms.
"Prue," Piper said.
"This has got to be a mistake," Phoebe said. She had rushed home at the mere mention of Prue. "Why would Prue be with demons?"
"Why would Prue even be alive?" Paige asked. "Unless she's been working with demons after faking her own death."
"Paige, that's ridiculous," Piper said.
"I was only kidding," Paige said.
"Actually, Paige's idea is the only one that make sense," Phoebe said. "How else would Prue be alive?"
"Maybe it wasn't Prue," Piper said. "Maybe it was a shape shifter."
"I guess that makes sense…" Paige trailed off.
"Um, yeah," Phoebe said. "Makes a lot more sense than Prue actually being alive."
"Maybe Billie saw a picture of Prue and then she was in her dream," Paige suggested.
"Oh come on, Paige," Billie said, crossing her arms. "Not this again." Billie turned to Piper. "Piper, you believe me, right?"
"I don't know," she answered. "I'm inclined to go with Paige on this one. I mean, maybe your dream did mean something, but I don't think it actually was Prue."
"Fine," Billie said almost threateningly. "I'll pursue this by myself." She turned around and marched off.
"Alright, we have the fourth sister," Brunt said. "But how do your propose that we actually gain control over the Charmed Ones?"
"I'm not quite sure yet," Sauran admitted. "I have an idea in mind, but what do you two think?"
"What if we get demons to possess them?" Roxxie asked.
"That would ruin the fun," Sauran said. "I want to see an actual Charmed Ones battle. It's no fun with demons in their bodies doing it."
"Then what do you propose?"
"Why don't we get a demon to use mind control on them?"
"That power only works on humans," Brunt said, laughing.
"I'm not talking about normal demons with that power. I'm talking about a certain one that had the power to even control the Source himself."
"Cjinx?" Roxxie gasped. "She was crystallized years ago for betraying the Source. We can't unleash her again."
"Ah, but we can and will," Sauran said. "The Source is dead and no one is in our way to stop us. All it takes is three upper level demons to say a spell, and I think we have three upper level demons right here."
"What if she betrays us?" Brunt asked. "How can we be sure?"
"We'll re-crystallize her if she even tries." Brunt and Roxxie thought it over a moment before finally agreeing to help. They shimmered away to free Cjinx.
