'Halleluiah!' Paige Matthews shouted. ' I finally finished it!'
'What did you finish sweetie?' asked Phoebe Halliwell; Paiges older sister.
'Oh, just the Harry Potter book I was reading its so sad Harrys parents died when he was just a baby!' explained Paige almost crying at the thought of being in that situation.
'Wow I cant believe you finished something for a change!' Piper; the oldest living Halliwell sister smirked. Paige threw a pillow at her.
'Yes,' Paige said rolling her eyes, ' I guess I did finally finish something for a change, but come on, you have both read it I mean you know how hard it is to put that book down!' Paige never really felt apart of the Halliwell family, not only because she shared a different father than the others, but also due to the fact that she thought she lacked inner and outer beauty. She glanced over at Piper, although Piper was the most intelligent and wise, she knew how to have fun, she was slim, with a smooth dark hair color and her face was always warm and happy. In Paige's opinion, Piper was beautiful. She also felt very much unlike Phoebe, who, although was also different to Piper, always shone in a different likeness of beauty, she was the wild-child of the family, she had short dark hair with caramel highlights and had a body to kill for. Paige felt that she suited neither of these personalities and often wondered where she fit in. Her dark blonde shoulder length hair and pale complexion always made her feel Phoebe and Piper were much superior to herself, with Phoebe's healthy olive skin, and Piper's straight smooth hair.
'What's up?' asked the extremely handsome husband of Piper; Leo Wyatt, raising his eyebrows as he walked through the door.
'Hi honey,' Piper greeted him as she lent in and planted a soft kiss on his cheek. 'We were just talking about the book Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone,' she smiled cheekily.
'Well right now I don't care about any Harry nor potter nor any kind of philosophers stone, because, that's not important right now, im supposed to be taking you out to dinner in half an hour, and I fixed the light in the kitchen for you so you will never be in the dark again,' he said cracking up, under the impression that he had just told a really cool joke.
' I love you Leo,' Piper said making baby faces at him, Paige gave Phoebe a sign that indicated puking. ' As fascinating as this is,' Phoebe said cutting in, so that Leo and Piper snapped back into reality, ' we really should be doing other things.'
'Your completely right,' Leo said, ' Like you guys should be sorting out the documents and books for magic school.'
'Yeah..about that..' Paige began, 'just think of it as us being side-tracked.'
' Are you sure you didn't forget?' Leo said determined to find out.
' Me? Forget,' paige said so sure of herself, ' Wait..uhh what were we talking about?' Leo laughed and got up to get ready for his and Pipers dinner together.
'Uhh, guys,' Phoebe's voice called detracting them from their thoughts, 'what the hell is that,' she stuttered, as a book mysteriously came floating towards them, thinking it was the book of shadows Paige grabbed it instinctively. The book instantly flung open. 'Paige…' Phoebe warned, that's not our book of shadows…' Piper knocked it out of Paige's hands, it flipped open. A long list of what appeared to be initials covered the inside first page along with an inscription, "To my beautiful girls may it this give you the light to find the shadows," it was the same inscription in their book of shadows. 'I wonder whose it was…,' Phoebe said.
'Who knows' Piper said finding her voice again. Just as she said this the book flipped over a few more pages as if conducted by a mysterious wind. 'What does it say?' Piper asked, as the three girls tilted their heads this way and that. Paige picked it up, and read:
'The ancient power of our ancestry,
Holds the key to set us free,
Back to the beginning we must go,
To look for what we want to know,
The enchantment of three takes us there,
a flick of the wand will bring us back,
if time runs out, our future is black…'
Everything was silent once more, until Piper said huffily, 'Well I guess that was a total waste of time'. Suddenly the whole room began spinning as a portal open across the room. The girls huddled together, as things began spinning around the room. Paige unconsciously clutched the book. 'What's going on Paige!' she heard one of her sisters scream. ' I don't know!' Paige yelled. Suddenly they all lost balance and were thrown forward into the portal. Just as quickly as it began the whirring and rush of the portal stopped, and they were thrown on the stone cold floor in a heap. 'OUF!' Piper groaned as she was on the bottom of the heap and had got the wind knocked out of her.
'Where are we?' Phoebe asked as they got up.
'Don't know, lets take a look around,' Paige said getting up off the ground.
'Damn!' Paige said, the others gave her incredulous looks.
'What!' they asked in unison.
'The book…. it's gone, I had it with me and now its….Gone..' she stammered.
'Hey...how are we gonna get back!' Piper suddenly exclaimed.
They were suddenly distracted by voices coming from a door opposite them.
' Lets go through there,' they all agreed, and pushed open the two wooden doors. Nothing could explain the feeling that greeted them when they opened the doors.
'Oh my god!' gasped Piper.
