Back To The Past
Chapter 11: What?
What?
"What," all four of the girls yelled out at the same time. "We're…witches?" Piper asked skeptically. "How can we be witches?" Paige questioned. "What exactly do you mean by witches?" Prue asked skeptically. Phoebe just stood there. "Well, you have magical powers. Each of you have your own special powers and over time you'll be able to control them better and they will advance and get stronger the more you use them and are more able to control them." Patty explained. "Uh-huh." Phoebe added. It was silent for a minute and then, "Ok so you're saying that you gave all of us up, basically at birth, because...I don't know why and now you're telling us that we're witches?" Prue questioned. "Um yea. But we didn't want to, I wanted to raise you as witches and teach you how to handle your powers but Victor, your father, didn't agree. So we came to an agreement. We'd give you up to families in San Francisco so you could have a normal childhood, then when you were 16 we were going to tell you." Patty explained. "Ok so if you and our father made this decision where is he?" Piper asked. Patty and her mother looked at each other and then, "He left a few months ago, he couldn't stand the fact that you were going to have to find out you were witches." Penny said. "Oh," said Prue. "It was completely his decision to leave but he just couldn't stand to let you be subjected to all the stuff that comes with being witches," explained Patty. "Why didn't he want us becoming witches?" Piper asked. "He just wanted you girls to have normal childhoods and be able to live normal lives without all the hassle of demons and warlocks." "Ok so now that we know, what's next?" Paige inquired. Penny and Patty looked at each other for a moment and then, "Well I guess we'll have to train you to become witches and to control your powers. I mean, since you now know about them you won't be safe for much longer." Penny told them. "But...that's for another day. Right now, I want to hear about my girls. How you've been, what your lives have been like, school, friends, everything!" The four girls just smiled at each other and agreed. Since it was starting to get a little late the four of them called their parents and told them that they would be eating with friends that night, since hearing about their daughters being witches might be a little much. After all four of them had called and told their parents, they all sat down in the sunroom and each girl told about how their lives had been before the last week or so. How they met their sister witches and most of all how they were becoming such great friends and becoming connected with each other. Also how they were getting to know each others quirks and personalities from Piper's caring heart to Phoebe's risk taking addiction to Prue's headstrong mind to Paige's independence and finally learning they where all stubborn. When Prue got to the part about all of them being stubborn Grams piped in her two cents, "You all get that from your mother and me." All four girls turned and grinned at each other. They liked the fact that all four of them had inherited something from their birth family, especially something like stubbornness, in their eyes being stubborn was a good thing. They four girls continued telling their mother and grandmother about how their lives had been when the grandfather clock struck 9:30, Patty and Penny decided it was time for the girls to go home. They gave each of the girls a slip of paper with the address to the Manor and their phone number on it, in case anything should happen or if they had questions.

After the girls had left the manor, they all started walking back the way they had come. They got to Piper's house first, they all said their goodbyes and the other three continued on as Piper walked up the sidewalk. The next house they came to was Phoebe's, most of the lights were off except for one left on over the stairs by her parents so she could see when she got home. Paige and Prue waited to make sure the door wasn't locked and that Phoebe could get in before they started walking again. After that Paige was dropped off at her house and after Prue made sure that she got inside and closed the door, she continued on to her house by herself. On her walk home, Prue had plenty of time to think about everything that had happened that day. Mostly about her and her new-found sisters being witches. She walked into her house about 20 minutes later and discovered that her parents were already asleep. Being as quiet as possible, she poured herself a glass of milk and sat down to see if there was anything on TV.

The next day it was a Saturday. The four girls had agreed to get together a couple hours before noon, when the four of them had made plans to go over to the Manor to begin the first lesson of their witch training. They had gotten together under one of the big trees in Golden Gate Park to discuss what they might learn at their witch lessons. They were just finishing explaining what each of them thought what would happen when Prue looked down at her watch and noticed it was 11:30 already. Prue looked up at the other three and told them it was time that they started walking. The four of them got up, cleaned up the wrappers from the food they had brought, and left the park. They started walking and got to Prescott St. in a little over 20 minutes. They walked up to the Manor and knocked on the door, Patty answered the door and let them in. "We'll be up in the attic, it's this way if you'll all follow me." When they got up to the attic, Prue was the first to see Penny and...Patty tied up in the corner on the other side of the room. "Uh...guys..." That was all she could get out though because half a second later she heard Paige and Phoebe scream and a second after that so did Piper. Prue turned around and saw a demon morphing from "Patty" into a blue-skinned, red-orange haired, big-clawed thing. She pulled the three younger girls over to the corner where Patty and Penny were already tied up. She told Phoebe to find something to cut the rope after she already failed at trying to untie the knot. The demon was just standing in the same spot, looking at them. After she got the two older women untied, Prue asked, "What's wrong with him, why isn't he moving at all?", when suddenly he slowing started moving as if he was a robot, and started coming at them. Penny told them that he had been frozen and then turned to her daughter and asked her if she had frozen him. When her daughter shook her head, the two of them looked at the four young girls standing in front of them. Prue, Phoebe, and Paige shock their heads, Piper, however was looking at her hands. "I...I think...I think I did it. How did I do it?" "Piper you just used your power, you must have freezing like me." Patty told her as she was pulling her and Phoebe away. Penny was doing the same with Prue and Paige. The six of them made it downstairs, and Penny and Patty got the Book of Shadows, which was in the kitchen since Penny had been working on a potion before the demon had come. She told Prue and Paige to look through the Book and find the demon, while she got out some basic potion ingredients, and some vials. They found the demon, Petrifikus, and made the quick potion to vanquish him when he came through the door. Prue and Piper had just finished putting the potion into the last vials, they handed one to everyone else and on the count of three they all threw their vials at him. In a fiery and smoky blast he was gone. There was silence for a minute, when Patty turned to Prue, Paige, Piper and Phoebe and said, "Well girls what do you think of your first ever witch lesson?" They all started laughing and when they settled down a couple minutes later, they cleaned up the supplies from the potion and put the Book back in its rightful place, on the podium up in the attic. All was well, at least for a little while, in Halliwell Manor.
