Okay! Sorry about that. My ancient computer was acting up and deleted my whole story from my disk. Luckily I have this copy on the internet. I had this chapter finished but had to rewrite it beacuse of that darn computer! Oh well, I got it up now so enjoy!

Chapter 15:

In Like a Lion

The bewitched Whitelighters didn't waste time and attacked immediately. They orbed in simultaneously and started attacking their cousins and sisters.

March sent conjured weapons at April who would deflect them with electrical energy. It started back and forth with constant blows and parries. Prue would telekinetically send objects flying at her sisters causing Piper to blow up several artifacts. Paige finally broke Piper's defense.

"Vase!" Paige called as Prue hurtled sharp objects at her. Piper was forced to duck as the vase shattered on the ground inches from her.

"That was Grams' vase!" Piper yelled throwing her hands up and freezing the room. The three Whitelighthers froze in their spots.

"Knock them out quickly!" Phoebe yelled hitting March over the head with a bat she had found somewhere.

"You'll thank us later for this," Piper said to Prue, breaking a glass over her head. By then, April and May had satisfactorily knocked Paige out as well. May and Phoebe automatically went for the crystal to trap them in the cage.

"Watch them," Piper said to May. "Consider it a test of how well you can control your powers."

May nodded and turned invisible. There was a slight indentation as May sat down on the chair and waited. "I'll let you know when they start waking up."

"Okay."

Prue was the first to awaken. The first thing that she realized was that she had a busting headache. She then noticed that she and her Whitelighter relations were trapped by the crystal cage around them. She had no idea why this had happened. Nor did she notice the soft footsteps that left the room. She just knew that her head hurt and her eyes were watery.

"Piper! Phoebe!" Prue called, startling Paige awake slightly.

"What?" Paige asked groggily. "Why are we trapped in a crystal cage?"

"I don't know Paige. I don't remember anything."

"You tried to kill us," Phoebe said cautiously entering the living room with Piper and April.

"What?" Paige and Prue sounded together.

"Xanthos hypnotized you and you attacked us," Piper explained.

"March too? Why is she still out?"

"I don't know. Must have hit her harder than we thought," April said looking at Phoebe.

"The yellow sheen is gone from their eyes. The knockout must have knocked their senses back into them," Piper observed scrutinizing her sisters.

"Wake March and release them from the trap."

Prue shook March awake. She opened her eyes quickly. "What happened?" she asked standing up slowly.

"Xanthos hypnotized you," April said as matter of fact.

"Really?" March said with a tinge of sarcasm. She looked at Prue. The yellowish sheen was still present in March's eyes. "I never noticed!"

"Uh oh!" Piper exclaimed seeing the sheen as well.

Her hands began to glow.

"Watch out!" Prue called just in time. Piper and April managed to duck flying knives. They stuck in the wall instead of flesh.

"Stupid witches! I'll get you soon enough. And traitors will be first!" March orbed out quickly before anyone could react.

Prue noticed immediately that half of her orbs were black.

"How can March still be evil after we turned you guys good again?" Piper asked.

"Remember Xanthos MO? He goes after witches new to the Craft. March is more susceptible to evil because she is new," April said.

"How else would you kill the Charmed Ones? Create an evil Power of Three to do the job for you," Phoebe replied.

"How do we turn her back though?" May asked from the seat as she turned visible again.

"Simple, we kill Xanthos."

"But if she commits one evil act, she stays evil forever," Prue pointed out.

"Then we have to stop her before we're too late."

Okay, cliffhanger but its a good way to end the chapter. This is almost over with, don't fret! Xanthos will die, I promise you. By the way, who wants me to write more about the lovely Baytown sisters? I have some ideas, but I want your feedback as well. Auf wiedersehen!
