Back To The Past
Chapter 10: Between Attacks and Explaining

Between Attacks and Explaining:

…that a weird demon with long nails, no ears, and huge muscles had shimmered in, in front of the girls and scared them. He was just about to attack when she froze him and was ushering the girls into the kitchen when Penny came in and trapped him in a crystal cage. After the demon was secured Penny asked her daughter if the girls were all right and after she'd confirmed that they were went upstairs to check the Book of Shadows.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige were wondering what the hell the thing was that tried to attack them. "How am I supposed to know what the hell it was, Phoebe. I know only as much as you do." "This is one weird family," Paige put in. "Yea I agree with you there," Prue responded. Just at that moment Patty walked in and asked them if they were all ok, after they all told her that they were, Phoebe burst out, "What the hell was that thing that tried to attack us?" "I'm not sure yet, but once my mother gets back down here, we'll tell you everything you need to know. I promise."

Penny came down about 5 minutes later with a big, leather bound book in her hands. Patty I found the demon that attacked the girls. "Uh excuse me, demon!" "Yea hold on. What'd you find our mom?" Well, his name is Shuniok and he specializes in attacking and killing unknowing young witches. He works directly under the Source and has never before been able to be caught or vanquished, until now of course." "Is there anything in there about how we could possibly try to vanquish him?" "No, it just says it will take the 'greatest power that has ever or will ever be known on earth.' Very cryptic." "I hate cryptic. So what do you think that could mean?" "I have absolutely no idea, I'll contact one of the Halliwell matriarchs and see if they know, maybe Melinda Warren…"Her voice growing fainter as she walked out of the kitchen. Patty took a big breath getting ready for all the questions she was sure would be coming.

"What the hell is going on in this house," Prue demanded, "and why was that…that thing, after us?" "I think that all of us should go into the solarium and sit down." "Fine, but if we don't get some answers soon we're leaving, I have homework to do," Piper stated. Prue, Phoebe, and Paige just rolled their eyes, and Patty smiled. "Ok then everyone to the solarium. Mother, come downstairs we need to explain everything to the girls." "Patty I think I figured out what the book meant about the whole more power thing. I think that they are the 'greatest power', not the Power of Three like the original prophecy said but the Power of Four." "The Power of Four? Really, are you sure?" "Of course I'm sure, Patty. Why wouldn't I be? I mean I asked Melinda Warren and I even double checked it with her daughter." "So then we're sure that it really is them then? That they are…" "…your daughters? Yes."

"Hey you guys come here," Phoebe said to the other three, who were sitting on the couch. "Phoebe! Get away from there, stop eavesdropping on them!" Prue demanded. "No listen they just said that us four were part of this weird 'greatest power' thing and that we are the younger woman's daughters!" "What!" yelled the other three in unison, just before the other two women walked into the room the four of them sat back on the couch. "We have something to tell you girls, so just let us finish and then you can ask or say anything you want." "We heard what you said." When Penny and Patty looked confused Paige elaborated, "Phoebe was listening in on your conversation. Sorry." "It's ok it saves us about 10 minutes of explaining. There is another part of it though, a part we didn't talk about. Um, mother you want to tell them or should I?" "I think it's best that they hear it from you, darling." "Ok then, here goes. Girls besides being my daughters you inherited something from our family, but it's not something someone else would inherit, it's something very special and something that you will have to develop and learn to control. Your witches, all four of you."
