Naruto really wished Penny could have come up with a better alternative than just sealing the girls' powers. That much he had learned from the journals he had found. Shortly after the girls powers had been bound for their protection the blond took to the shadows and watched over them. At least that was the bits and pieces he put together told him from the gaping hole in his memory.
He had gotten used to their habits, giving them their privacy at times of course. Prue, the early riser was always the first up in the morning and the first out of the door; Phoebe, always cranky in the morning and was a bit of a coffee junkie and needed it for the morning and Piper, poor Piper really hated her job and always seemed to put off leaving the house every morning. Slipping into Piper's room he slit the throat of yet another demon intruder. Eventually these low level stragglers were going to have to get the point.
Sitting down on the bed he softly ran his finger through her hair. Curious he decided to invade her dreams.
Piper found herself in the arms of a handsome stranger. She couldn't quite see his face, but all she knew was that was something quite familiar about him. She moaned as the sensation of his fingers against her naked skin of her torso under her top, sending tingles through her being. The man's lips pressed against her neck, nipping and sucking at the flesh. He slowly worked down her neck as his right hand massaged her stomach. His hot breath and gentle touches was turning on.
She couldn't help but let out a cry as she felt her left hand massage her right thigh. One huge positive point to this mysterious man was the fact that he was quite flexible at times. She let out a sensual cry as the Man used his teeth to pull loose the string of her top. Her body became flush as the man undid her top and caressed her bosom. She threw her head back as his knee pressed against her crotch as his attention was focused on her breath.
Piper let out a squeak as the man repositioned himself between her legs, grabbing her arms and pulling her close as his hardness pressed into her. The man removed sorts and boxers as his hardness teased her core.
''Please...'' she whispered. ''More...'' she moaned as her lover continued teasing her. She rose up her rear as the lover grabbed at the hem of her of pajama bottoms, sliding them off along with her panties. Piper bit her bottom lip once more as he inserted two fingers into her opening, pumping it in and out. Her hips bucked against them as blissful screams started to radiate out of her mouth. Using the thumb of his left hand he between gently brushing against her clitoris as the rest of his thumb brushed against her labia minora as he laid kisses against her clitoral hood. He slowly increased the intensity as he felt her walls began constricting around her fingers.
"Mmmmm, harder!" she said louder.
Removing his thumb the lover added his tongue to the mix as he continued speeding up.
''Yes...almost...I'm almost there!"
He continued as Piper gripped her sheets and arched her back with a 'yessss' as she erupted with an orgasmic bliss. With a soft 'hmmm', she softly panted as the man licked her juices off his finger. The man moved over Piper as he captured her lips with a sweet kiss. He captured her bottom lips between his two lips as he pressed his body against hers. ''You're beautiful...you've always been.'' he said as he captured her lips in a kiss again as their tongues danced against each other. ''I want you...I need you.''
''Then have me...''
''Oh trust me...I will.'' he said with a distinct sort of possessiveness as he spread her legs. He slowly entered her as he held her by the hips.
''Yesss,'' she hissed. A few moments passed before Piper's love began moving in and out of her. Their kisses became sensual and hungry as they caressed each other's body.
''Piper...I love the way you sound.''
''Yes...faster.'' she cried out as she wrapped her legs around his waist. ''More...I...oh god.'' she cried out as her lover wrapped one of her arms around her back and hoisted her up slightly as he continued thrusting inside of her. He was going as deep as he could. ''Ooh...aah...aah.''
''I'm almost there...come with me baby.'' he said as Piper put her hand against the back of her lover's head as her hips bucked against his thrusts.
''YES!'' They both cried out and released. They fell back, the lover shooting several spurts into her. The lover head rested gently against Piper's bosom as the last of his seed seeped from his cock.
''Amazing...as always.'' he said reaching out and kissing her hand.
''You're not so bad yourself. But, what do I call you?'' she asked as the lover smiled.
''My name? My name is...'' The sound of the alarm blaring woke Piper up from her dream. Startled she shot up, sweaty and sticky. She glanced at her clock as it red 7:00 A.M. With a groan as she fell back. Unknown to her someone was gazing down at her beyond her ability to see. 'Have a good day.'
Later that day two figures had met within a room.
The room was that of a corporate business room where meetings between the head and the many stockholders of a company would meet. Two black robbed figures were in the room as their followers left. ''You had the Charmed Ones right in your grasp and you let them go?'' The being asked in disbelief. ''Either you're very confident or you're foolish to do such a thing,'' The first figure said in a raspy voice.
''The former is what it is my friend. I can handle them at any time, but then it'll be a bore so I decided to wait so things will be all more entertaining.'' The figure said as his eyes glowed crimson. He raised his hand and shot massive amounts of power into the core of the Earth causing Earthquakes throughout the area above.
''You are quite confident that they won't become too much for your power.''
''I know what I'm doing but sense you're so concerned how about a little game? I pull some strings and send a couple of my followers after them and if these women can overcome the folly of humanity and manage to survive them, then I'll admit my choice not to eliminate them was not a folly. They are no threat after all or do these rookie witches scare you?"
"I fear no mortal. Very well Tempest I'll play this little game of yours for the time being."
At a popular San Fransisco hotspot was that of a Restaurant known as the Quake packed with people coming and going. There was business for the owner who seemed to be going really well. Phoebe Halliwell, the youngest of the three Witches nearly bumps into a couple just entering the restaurant. ''Oops! Sorry. '' She said straightening her black Spaghetti strap dress as she continued by them searching for Piper.
Piper walks out of the kitchen carrying a bill with a black dress of her own. I'm going to kill him.'' Piper muttered, throwing her hands up dramatically. She grabbed a bill folder off a table and walked toward the cash register
''Who?'' Phoebe asked, glancing around in confusion, before she followed Piper.
''Chef Moore. He of the phony accents hires me and then quits while opening his own place? Thank you very much!'' Piper ranted going behind the cash register as Phoebe took a seat.
''I don't see any customers complaining.'' Phoebe pointed out as a compliment to her stressed older sister.
''Hello,'' She said then angrily spouts off. ''I am not a restaurateur. I am a chef. I have no idea what I'm doing.'' Then stops and looks at Phoebe. ''Are you wearing my dress? '' Piper asked as her anger fizzled into annoyance. Though before that could continue, they were joined by a woman by the name of Brittany Reynolds with blonde shaggy hair wearing a red dress.
''Hey Brittany. '' Phoebe greeted the blonde curly haired woman.
''Hey.'' she greeted back flashing a friendly smile.
''Ooh, I love that tattoo,'' Phoebe complimented, taking Britney's hand to get a better look at the angel tattooed on the back.
Brittany looked at the tattoo and held it up saying,'' Oh, thanks. ''
''I thought it was illegal to get them on your hand because of the veins. '' Piper stated as a whole segment about it on TV a couple of weeks ago.
''In the states yeah I got it done in Tahiti. '' The woman said with a coy smile as she continued showing off her Tattoo.
Piper hands Brittany back her change. '' Oh, keep the change, Piper.'' The woman responded as she placed the strap of her purse over her shoulder. ''I got to jam. '' She said as she hopped up and quickly went on her way.
''Ok. Say hi to Max.'' The new restaurant owner told her as Brittany Left.
''Excuse me can I buy a Collins with some Sprite,'' A young man asked, he was in twenties with unusual spiky blond hair. He had bright, cerulean blue eyes and his skin tone was that of a slightly tan variety. He was about 5'10 in height and wearing quite the formal dark blue dress shirt and black slacks, but what really stood out was that he had whiskers!
The sisters couldn't help but stare, noticing the unusual facial features. ''That interesting huh?'' The blonde asked as both sisters blushed in embarrassment.
''S-Sorry…I'll get right to that,'' Piper said as she hurried off to fix that drink.
The man in questioned quickly looked over the youngest Halliwell. ''You are quite beautiful and that dress looks amazing on you.''
''Oh, why thank you,'' Phoebe responded with a flirty smile. ''You must be new in town. I haven't seen you before and I think I would remember you…seeing you.'' when Phoebe saw something she liked she went for it and she definitely liked what she saw before her.
''I'm going to guess it's because of these whiskers?'' The blonde said flashing a smile as Phoebe winched slightly realizing she might have offended the man.
''Sorry…'' she remarked with a sheepish look, though the man only smiled.
''It's ok I get it all the time. I've actually arrived here a few months ago. My name is Naruto Uzumaki.'' he introduced himself.
''That's a nice name…let me guess…is it…Dutch?'' She tried to guess as Naruto's lips pursed into a playful smile.
''No Japanese…'' The blond answered her question with a charming smile.
''Wow really…you don't look it,'' She stated and then immediately gasped afterwards. Realizing she placed her foot in her mouth. ''I'm so sorry I didn't mean…''
''It's no problem as I get it all the time…'' He said, shrugging it off. He really did get it all the time.
''That's one Collins and that would be…'' Piper didn't get to finish as the blonde pulled out a hundred from his wallet and sat it on the counter. He then picked up his drink. ''Keep the change,'' he said as he turned his attention back to the younger sister. ''Nice meeting you …''
''Phoebe…Phoebe Halliwell…'' the youngest introduced herself in an almost dazed like state.
''Well Phoebe Halliwell I'll see you around,'' The blond said as he went on his way and out the door. As he turned the sisters didn't see the mischievous smile that came upon his face.
''Damn! I should have asked for his number or something. He was pretty handsome don't you think?'' Phoebe asked her sister as she pointedly glanced in the direction where the blond walked and licked her lips.
''Yeah, he was…'' Piper said as watched the door. 'Something about him seems really familiar.'
''I guess I have to settle for the runner-up,'' Phoebe said taking a glance in another direction.
''Wait…what?'' Piper responded as her thoughts on the mysterious blond would be filed away for now.
''The poster boy to your left,'' She said as Piper turned to look. ''Just glance don't be obvious.''
After a quick glance Piper turned back to her sister. ''I approve. Who is he? ''She asked glancing again back at him.
''His name is Alec, and he's about to come over and ask if he could buy me a martini. ''
''How do you know? '' Piper wondered.
''Let's just say I solved the age-old problem of who approaches whom first. I had a little premonition." She gloated, running a hand through her hair self-consciously.
''What? Phoebe, you're not supposed to use your powers. We agreed. ''Piper hissed, crossing her arms.
''No. You and Prue agreed. I abstained. Besides it's not like I can control it. It just popped into my head." Phoebe countered defensively.
''That's the whole point. None of us can control our powers. That's what scares me. I could panic and freeze the entire restaurant. ''
''Shh! Here he comes. '' Phoebe whispered as the man approached.
"Hey, I was just sitting over there and was wondering if I could buy you a martini or something." He offered hopefully. Phoebe smiled seductively and glanced at Piper knowingly.
"Martini hmmmm? Imagine that. I would love one," She responded getting to her feet. "It's Alec right?" Phoebe asked feigning ignorance.
"Yeah, how'd you know my name?" Alec asked in surprise.
"Wild guess." Phoebe got to her feet and lightly pushed Alec toward the table he had been sitting at. Before she left she turned one last time at her sister. Piper glanced over and grabbed her hand making her listen.
"Prue is going to be pissed," She warned and Phoebe shrugged it off.
"News flash… stop worrying, you'll get wrinkles." Phoebe retorted. She added as an afterthought.
"Who said I was worrying?" Piper muttered indignantly, crossing her arms.
Outside Quake, Britney walked out to her car. She turned it on and adjusted her rear view mirror so she could touch up her make-up. After a moment she adjusted it back and saw someone's eyes staring from the back of her car. She spun around in fear and screamed as he grabbed hold of her.
The following morning in the Halliwell manor Inspector Andy Trudeau was face down asleep on a semi-unfamiliar bed.
Prue, the owner of the room had gotten up early and was finishing getting dressed. She glanced at the other room's occupant who was still on the bed sleeping.
She picks up her bag and slowly makes her way to the door. She pauses as Andy groans and shifts on the bed only to settle back in bed.
Prue carefully slipped out from under Andy's arm and silently reached for an old sweater that she slipped on. She tiptoed around the bed to grab some of her clothes and glanced up at a sleeping Andy. She bit her lip uncertainly, but continued to gather her things. Carrying her high heeled shoes in one hand and a dark blue dress in the other, she headed for the door of his bedroom and beyond that the door to his apartment. As Prue reached the door of his bedroom, she froze as Andy groaned softly and switched positions.
Again she glanced back uncertainly, but nevertheless continued toward the door. She hadn't gone another step when Andy's alarm clock started beeping loudly. Damn. She thought and frantically narrowed her eyes at the device and sent it flying out the window. Without further ado she left as quickly as she could without making any noise. Behind her Andy reached out to turn off his alarm clock only to land on the end table. A moment later the door of his apartment could be heard being shut, the sound echoing through the silent apartment. Andy sat up in bed quickly realizing that she was gone.
Downstairs in the kitchen the Halliwell's cat, kit jumps up onto the counter and meows. The television set is on and playing a documentary on witches.
''Proving that they were the devil's disciples was no easy task for the court of the Salem witch trials. '' The narrator on the T.V. said as Piper picks up her bowl watching TV. . She whisks the eggs absently. '' But a remarkable event occurred. One of the accused, Mary Estee, ran for the church to profess her innocence. Suddenly there was a clap of thunder, and she was struck by a bolt of lightning. In the court's mind, god himself had spoken, forbidding the evil witch from even entering his house. The witches were subsequently convicted of heresy - ''
At that moment Prue walks into the kitchen wearing a grey skirt and black tank top. Piper was wearing a blue shirt and beige pants.
''Good morning. '' Prue greeted her sister as she opens the fridge to get something out.
"Morning," Prue greeted and Piper echoed while hurriedly grabbing for the remote and switching off the T.V. "What are you watching?" She asked curiously as she pulled the milk out and sat it on the counter.
"Nothing… just a show." Piper answered hastily, somewhat embarrassed to be seen watching the documentary.
''About witches? Are you worried that we're going to be burned at the stake?'' Prue asked teasingly, smiling softly. Piper forced a laugh and tried to look nonchalant.
"Yeah right…" She offered and then switched the topic to Prue. "By the way, Andy called." Prue suddenly looked nervous.
"When?" Prue carefully asked in response as she poured herself a glass of milk.
"While you were in the shower," Piper answered.
"What did you tell him?" She demanded, glaring at her sister. Piper was taken aback by Prue's attitude.
"That you were in the shower,'' She carefully answered once more repeating her previous statement. Prue nodded awkwardly appearing relieved. Piper smirked as she tried to analyze Prue's unusual attitude. "Bad date?" She questioned, watching her elder sister carefully for a hint of a lie.
"No… No, No, not at all. It was great. You know, Dinner, movie and sex...'' The last part came out in a soft, embarrassed whisper."
''Excuse me? On your first date you sleaze. '' She said with a teasing tone.
''It wasn't exactly our first date, Piper. '' She added half-hopefully. Piper nodded but rolled her eyes.
"Okay, but high school doesn't count. That was last decade." She retorted. "Spill" She prodded eagerly. Prue cast a frustrated glance while she grabbed her cup of milk and walked out of the kitchen. "Ooh… that bad?" She asked, following.
''No. Actually that good. ''
Prue stops at the dining table and picks up the paper. '' It was - well, we were amazing, but that's not the point. I told myself that things would be different, that we would take it slow. It just shouldn't have happened. That's all. ''Prue tried to explain, but it was difficult because of the conflicting emotions. Piper glanced at her in sympathy but before she could respond Phoebe came walking down the stairs to join the conversation.
"What shouldn't have happened?" Phoebe asked curiously.
"Prue slept with Andy." Piper filled them in quickly without turning to look at them.
"Hello!'' Phoebe remarked, surprised at this little tidbit. Prue could have slammed her head against the wall in frustration.
"Thanks a lot, mouth." She muttered, picking up the newspaper from the end table.
''Wait. You were going to tell her but not me? Family meeting.'' Phoebe replied acting hurt.
''Speaking of last night, what time did you end up rolling in? '' Prue asked as she turns and made way for the Conservatory.
''No, no, no, no. Do not change the subject," Phoebe countered Prue's question as her sister turned and sat down in the solarium.
"Don't dodge the question,'' Prue retorted back as she sat down with her milk and newspaper on a table and sitting down.
"It must have been at least after three." Piper spoke up, enjoying her role in this conversation.
"I must still be in New York time," Phoebe offered defensively.
"Actually that would make it later…" Prue returned, smiling at her sisters' lie.
"Or maybe you and Alec…." Piper brought up glancing at Phoebe slyly .Prue looked up confused, '' Who's Alec?''
"The hottie that she hit on at the restaurant yesterday. " Piper informed Prue. Phoebe glared at Piper who just shrugged and smiled innocently.
"Excuse me. Where vision is history, he hit on me. Remember the whole vision thing?" Phoebe pointed out, calmly.
"Vision thing?" Prue asked in annoyance and glanced at Piper in confirmation. She let out a deep sigh. "Phoebe…" She began.
"Don't put me in the middle…" Piper protested.
"Technically we're not. You were born in the middle. Look, Phoebe. I thought we agreed," Prue finally finished, ignoring Piper for the time being.
"No… we didn't. You and Piper agreed. There's a difference." Phoebe clarified, rolling her eyes.
''Look, Phoebe, our powers are not toys. We have to be careful. They could get us killed.'' Prue elaborated, trying to make Phoebe understand.
''She's right. We don't want any more warlocks finding us.''
''Look, it was just a lousy premonition. That's all. Nobody died. Besides, you guys can't control your powers any better than I can. And F.Y.I.: Nothing happened last night. At least nothing I'm ashamed of.'' Phoebe turns to leave, but Prue stops her.
''There's another reason we have to be careful. Andy thinks someone's abducting women in our area. ''
''Abducting women? What do you mean? ''
''It means that warlocks aren't the only evil that we have to watch out for. And F.Y.I., I'm not ashamed of anything. ''
Phoebe smiles at her and Prue turns to her paper.
At the Police station inspector Trudeau was looking at a photo of Brittany Reynolds, the latest in a long list of victims. He takes a sip of coffee and hands the photo to Darryl, an African American and fellow cop. He was about maybe in his forties, with short hair and professional looking. Max, Brittany's boyfriend, has reported her missing.
'' She didn't come home at all last night. That's not like Brittany, believe me. ''Max finished, looking worried as Darryl brought the picture back to him.
''Tell me, Max, what time did she leave to go to quake? '' Darryl Morris asked.
''Eight. Eight-thirty. She called around ten, said she was headed home, but ... I'm really worried. ''Max replied as Andy fiddled with a pen, thinking of the similarities between Britney and some of the other women that had been called in missing.
''Chances are she'll show up. They usually do. In the meantime, the best thing you can do right now is to go home in case she calls, all right? '' Any said and stood up. ''Can you do that? '' He asked as they shook hands.
''Yeah. Ok. Thanks. '' Max Jones said then left. Andy walks over to Darryl.
''The fourth one this week.'' Andy pointed out.
''Yeah, well, they can't just be disappearing into thin air. You do something to your ''
''Well, at least we can narrow down his feeding pool to the area around the restaurant. ''
''Yeah, well, better tell your sweetie to lock the door tonight.'' Darryl pushes past Andy.
At that same time Piper had arrived and parked her car in front of the church. She stares at the church's closed door chewing on her lower lip. Obviously, something's bothering her. Someone knocks their umbrella handle against the car door causing her to jump. ''Oh, Pastor Williams. Ooh, you scared me,'' Piper said as she placed a hand against her chest and breathed out in relief.
''I'm sorry. Aren't you a little early? Dropping off the unused food from your restaurant I thought you weren't coming by till this afternoon. ''
''Yeah, I am. I mean, I'm coming back later with everything. ''
''Great. So what are you doing here now?''
''Nothing really. Just, uh ... just thinking. '' Piper responded, trying to gather her thoughts.
''About? ''Pastor Williams prodded carefully. Piper bit her lip uncertainly and answered reluctantly.
''Mary Estee.''
''Who?'' He asked in confusion.
He asked in confusion. Piper rolled her eyes, inwardly kicking herself.'' Oh, it's just this stupid documentary I saw. By the way, is it true that, uh, evil beings can't go into a church without being ... ksssh! ''She motions with her hands as if being hit by lightning.
"Evil beings? Like what? Vampires?" He suggested.
"Vampires, uh no. I was thinking more along the line of… witches." Piper corrected casually though listening to his every word intently.
"Witches huh?" Pastor Williams paused seeming to think about it for a moment. "Let me put it to you this way. I sure wouldn't want to risk it." Piper frowned, but nodded slightly. "I gotta go. See you later?"
"Yeah, right, absolutely" She replied, being pulled back from her train of thought. Pastor Williams walked away leaving Piper to look back toward the entrance to the church. She narrowed her eyes in determination and pushed the door open. She slowly approached the church door, outstretching her hand for the handle. Just before she closed her hand around it a crack of thunder rumbled in the distance and she jumped away in fear. Piper turns and leaves as the church bell rings.
At the Buckland Auction house Prue had just arrived for work, trying to catch the elevator.
"Hold the door!" She shouted as she prayed that someone would stop it from closing since she couldn't miss that elevator. Prue squeezed through at the last minute, but her purse hit the door and slipped from her arm, spilling the contents on the floor. "Oh, damn it!" She muttered bending down to pick it all up. "Can you, uh, 12 please?" She pleaded to the man closest to the numbers. He did so and bent down to help her.
"Here, let me help." He offered, picking up some of her papers and looking at them curiously. "Eighteenth Century French Art? Do you work at the Auction House upstairs?" He asked, sounding impressed as Prue grabbed her last piece of merchandise off the floor and stood up.
''No. Just interviewing, if I ever get there on time. Don't want to get my King Louie's mixed up.''
Prue's phone rings and she answers it.'' Hello. '' She said into the phone as she turns away for a modicum of privacy.'' Uh ... Andy, how did you get this number?''
''I'm a detective, remember? Prue, I think we should talk.'' He added in a more serious tone.
''Yeah, you know, it's just that I'm really late for this interview.'' she tried to change the subject.
''I didn't mean for what happened last night to happen. You have to know that. '' Andy continued, ignoring her excuse.
'Of course, you know, I'm totally wrong for it anyway. Stuffy old auction house. Don't know why they even called.'' The man next to her glanced her way, but she ignored it.
''Come on, Prue, listen to me. We've known each other for a long time. We just couldn't help ourselves. It's nothing to be ashamed of.''
"I know Andy…" She replied, desperately trying to keep her voice down.
"All we did was make love…"
"I know, Andy," Prue snapped, clenching her phone in aggravation.
"Well, talk to me. Help me out here, Prue. Why did you sneak out like that?" He asked. Prue narrowed her eyes indignantly.
"I did not sneak…. Out…." She replied, lowering her voice at the end as she reminded herself she was in an elevator. "Right, you were asleep, I didn't want to wake you" She lied in desperation. There was silence on the other end so she quickly added. "And I did write you a note… I just didn't leave it." The phone disconnects. Andy hears the dial tone and hangs up. ''Hello? '' Prue asked then turns around and finds the elevator is filled with men who have just overheard her conversation.
They clear their throats. Rex glances down at Prue. Though he doesn't say anything, it's pretty evident that they all know what's going on. Prue puts her phone away. The elevator stops on the seventh floor, the bell rings and the door starts to open. Prue glances at the elevator panel and sees that there are four more stops to make before reaching her floor which would make her late for the interview. Prue looks at the elevator door and squints her eyes, forcing it to close. The man who wanted to get off on Floor 7 steps up to the door only to have it close on him.
''Hey!'' He punches the elevator button. It missed my floor.'' The elevator continues straight up to floor 12, missing the four stops in between. The men in the elevator press the elevator buttons, but the elevator continues to head straight up. The elevator stops on floor 12.
''That was strange,'' Said Rex. ''Well, lucky you, huh?'' He asked as the doors open and Prue steps out.
''Yeah, I'm Charmed, all right.''
Rex stands in the elevator and watches her go.
Elsewhere Phoebe was pushing pushed through the crowded restaurant to reach the bar. She handed a bill folder to a young couple.
"Here you go," She spoke, handing it to the man who reached out for it.
"Thank you." He responded gratefully. Phoebe smiled and turned to leave before doing a double take in disbelief.
"Excuse me… but aren't you Stefan?" Phoebe asked, approaching slowly. Stefan glanced back up at her smiling.
"Yes… I'm sorry, but do we know each other?" He questioned, looking at her curiously. Phoebe took several deep breaths to calm herself.
"Oh highly doubtful I'm just familiar with your work. Like everyone else in the world." She admitted, glancing awkwardly back at his date who had been silent.
"Well, I don't know about that, but I'll always take a compliment from a gorgeous woman." Stefan replied, flashing a charming smile that made Phoebe look back toward the woman he was sitting with.
"I'm sure your girlfriend must appreciate that…" Phoebe answered, trying to judge her reaction. Stefan leaned closer to Phoebe.
"She's not my girlfriend." He whispered pointedly.
"Then why are you whispering?" Phoebe whispered back flirtatiously. The woman frowned in anger and jumped up from the bar.
"Excuse me," She hissed pushing between Phoebe and Stefan causing Phoebe to step back.
"Oh… oh, okay," Phoebe murmured putting her hands up dramatically in innocence. Stefan turned around to watch her leave and Phoebe stepped back forward. "Well, it was very nice to meet you" She offered beginning to turn away.
"You too…" Stefan agreed and then reached out to stop her from leaving. "Listen. I'm in town for a couple days doing a Porsche shoot. If you're interested, stop by. I'd love to photograph you. You do model don't you?" Stefan took out a pen and wrote his address on a napkin in front of him and gave it to Phoebe. Phoebe stared in surprise and gingerly reached out to take it.
"In my dreams… yeah." She replied, and then glanced down at the napkin excitedly before turning away. As she was still staring at the napkin Piper ran up and grabbed her hands, effectively gaining her attention.
"A driver has called in sick. Can you do a quick delivery?" Piper pleaded desperately.
"Sure," Phoebe agreed, taking a step back from her sister, but she couldn't resist telling Piper about Stefan. "Is that guy at the bar staring at me?" She began. Piper cast a quick glance to the bar behind her.
"A lot of guys at the bar are staring at you!" Piper agreed hastily.
"The one at the far end is tall, dark, brooding, which is very New York!" Phoebe described Stefan. Piper glanced over again for a split moment.
"Sorry, no." She replied and dashed off back to work. Phoebe looked back where Stefan had been to find him gone. Her gaze flickered back to the napkin with his address on it and she smiled.
At that same time at Buckland Auction House something was in the works. Rex Buckland's Assistant, a tall blonde-haired woman, walks Prue through the floors under construction on their way to Rex Buckland's office.
''He's seen your resume and is very impressed. I have to tell you he's already blown out six other applicants.''
''I still don't know why he's interested. I never even applied,'' Prue answered sounding curious. She looked toward the Secretary for an answer.
''He likes what you did at the museum, even though your ex-boss trashed you. I mean, what's Roger got against you anyway?''
''Hard to say, unless shattering his male ego counts for something. He's also my ex-fiance. ''
"Got it…you ready?" She asked, reaching out for the door handle. Prue nodded slightly.
"Yeah." The Secretary opened the door and preceded Prue into the room.
"Rex Buckland, this is Prue Halliwell, interviewing for the new specialist." She announced. Prue walked in to find the man next to her in the elevator standing in front of the desk. Her smile turned to a slight frown and she bit her lip slightly, suddenly a little nervous as Rex looked her over quickly.
''Actually, we've already met. Welcome to my stuffy, old auction house. '' He said shaking her hand. Prue clears her throat.
A little later that day at Stefan's studio a photo-shoot was set up. On the wall is a large photo of a Porsche. The camera is set up on a tri-pod. Stefan carries a lit candle. His hand is thin and wrinkly with age-spots discoloring his skin. He sets the candle in the holder. On the table is a woman, her arms and legs strapped securely to the corners. The woman is the red-head from Quake. She looks up at Stefan as he walks slowly toward her, his face obscured by the shadow off-set by the colored screen behind him.
''Please, I beg you, don't hurt me! Let me go! Please, Stefan!''' The woman begged as he stepped closer to the light. As he steps out he reveals his true form. His form was that of an elderly man with white straggly and sparse hair. He was hunched over slightly, his skin old and wrinkly and his teeth, yellow and crooked looking.
''Oh, my god! Wait! '' She screamed out but it was to no avail. Beams of light shoot out from his eyes to her eyes. The beam of light sucks out all of her youth and turns her into an old woman.
Javna is then transformed back into the young, dark, brooding Stefan. He picks up the ornate hand mirror and looks at his reflection. He smiles and laughs.
'Sorry Prue, but you can't so easily brush off your destiny. No one should come to harm, and hopefully you three come a step closer to realizing your destiny.''
Back at the Auction house Prue was busy at work.'' How many exhibitions did you Correct?'' Buck asked her as she responded,'' Seven, including the Carlton Estate. It should be on my resume.'' Prue added.
"Franklin Carlton. That's quite a coup." Rex commented, sounding impressed. He dropped the papers on his desk and sat down opposite Prue.
"Yes, well, I tend to be on the persistent side. I usually get what I want." Prue explained, nodding slightly. Rex offered a faint smile.
"A no doubter." Rex agreed and then smiled slyly. "It's a shame though that you think you're… how did you put it in the elevator? Totally wrong for the job." Rex reminded her, casually leaning back in his chair for an answer. Prue bit her lip ever so slightly and looked away for a split moment in aggravation.
"That was a private phone conversation!" She countered. Rex shook his head, grinning.
"Hardly." He retorted. Prue looked away and reached down to grab her purse before standing up abruptly.
"You called me remember? Not the other way around." She returned, her voice clearly showing her irritation. There was a pause at which time she was deciding whether to let it go or to continue. "And while we're at it. I think it's incredibly unfair of you to eavesdrop on a private call and then misjudge me based on entirely what you thought you heard" Prue added, deciding on the latter. Rex looked away while she accused him and when she had finished ranting glanced back at her.
"I apologize. It was unfair of me." He offered and then stood up and approached her. "I'm new to all of this" Rex explained waving his hand to show off the room. "I've only just taken over the house from my father so I'm very protective of it. But knowing that, what you did at the museum, attracting the younger market, it's totally consistent with what I want to do here." He paused for a moment sitting down on the edge of his desk.
Prue glanced away, slightly embarrassed. "It's just that… when all these qualifications are signed, it's very important to me that whoever I hire, truly wants to be here." Rex continued, carefully watching Prue's reaction. Before she could respond there was a beep announcing the presence of the intercom. "Yeah?" He called, not taking his eyes off Prue.
"Excuse me, Mr. Buckland, but your next interview is waiting. Shall I reschedule him?" The secretary's voice filled the room.
"No, I think we're done here," He responded icily, picking up Prue's files and handing them to her. She took them and shook his hand formally.
"Well, thanks for your time." She replied her voice slightly cold in return. He nodded and watched as Prue turned to leave. Just as she reached the door she hesitated and turned back around.
"My area of expertise ranges from the Ming Dynasty to a Mark McGuire Ricky baseball card. You name it- I can identify it. Now I may not have sought this job originally, but I do want it… And I'm definitely right for it." Prue finished confidently and then left without waiting for a response. Rex watched her leave pondering the possibilities.
Piper pulled Quake's catering van up to the church and parked just outside. Already several people were coming out of the church to help unload. Phoebe jumped out of the passenger side of the car carrying on the conversation that had been going on in the van.
"You'd think after last night Prue would be a lot mellower. I mean, how long had it been? Six months? And she's worse." Phoebe observed walking around to the back of the van and opening it up. Piper came up from the other side of the van carrying a clipboard and pen. Piper sighed as the conversation kept going and leaned back against the back door.
"It's just… so un-Prue like to have sex on the first date." She replied, as a woman came up. Phoebe reached into the van and pulled out a tray that she handed to the woman. "Everything's changing since we've become… you know…" Piper continued, trailing off and giving the woman an annoyed glance before marking that tray off on her clipboard. Phoebe grinned and turned back to the truck.
"Come on, you've never had sex on the first date?" Phoebe asked sarcastically. Piper looked up at her appearing offended.
"No… have you?" Piper asked, her eyes narrowing. There was silence in which Phoebe just grinned trying not to laugh. "Don't answer that…" She snapped, changing her mind. Phoebe pulled another tray out of the truck and looked back up toward her big sister.
"Well, it's not a regular thing. Of course, now that I'm a witch I'll be able to see if it will be any good or not before it actually…." Phoebe elaborated and trailed off as she noticed an elderly man waiting on the tray. She handed it to him and leaned casually against the van door. "Hi." She greeted waving as the elderly man walked off. Piper stared at her in disbelief.
"What's the matter with you? Are you outta your mind?" She scolded. Phoebe rolled her eyes and took out another tray.
"Come on, it's not like he took me literally." Phoebe retorted, grabbing the last tray out of the van.
"You don't know that… he could of." Piper argued checking off the trays on her clipboard, as Phoebe handed the tray to another man. "I just think we need to be extra careful, in bed and out." She continued nodding to herself. Phoebe narrowed her eyes in a studying manner.
"Yeah, well, there's careful and then there's paranoid." She countered. "Do you want to talk about it?" Phoebe prodded gently. Piper frowned and looked away.
''Talk about what?'' Pastor Williams walks up to the back of the van.
Pastor Williams called as he advanced.
"Hey!" Phoebe replied, as Pastor Williams pulled her into a friendly hug.
''Take a bite out of the big apple, did ya?''He joked, waving at Piper.
''Oh, I ate the worm.'' Phoebe went along with the joke and stepped back from him. She looked out toward a street store. "Hey, I'm going to go get some gum. Do you guys want anything?" She asked looking at the two.
''No, thanks. ''
''Ok. Good to see you.''
''You too. '' Phoebe responded once more as she left.
Pastor Williams stands and waits in front of Piper. She sighs. '' Ok. Here's the deal. I've got this friend. Has a little problem. Could be bad. Not quite sure what to tell her. ''
"Do you want to go inside?" He asked politely pointing toward the church. A flash of panic shot through Piper and she shook her head hastily.
"No…." She responded immediately causing Pastor Williams to look at her curiously. "I mean… I've got to get going." Piper explained. He nodded in understanding.
"So what's the problem?" He pressed, listening closely. Piper hesitated before taking a deep breath.
"Well, she sorta thinks she might be a…. a witch," She elaborated, forcing a laugh at the end.
"Witches again huh?" Pastor Williams asked, nodding. He turned and walked a few steps away and Piper followed nervously.
"Not a good thing is it?" Piper guessed, looking down at the ground.
"Certainly not a question I get every day." He commented, thinking about his answer. "How well do you remember your Sunday School Lessons? Exodus 22:18. "Though shall not suffer a witch to live'" He quoted slowly. Piper frowned, dreading his answer.
"Meaning…" She whispered, already knowing what he was going to say.
"If you go by the old school? Put her to death… she's evil," Pastor Williams replied carefully. Piper flinched and looked away, despair threatening to overcome her façade. It took all herself control to force a front and say farewell to Pastor Williams. She quickly returned to the shelter of the van.
Meanwhile in one of San-Francisco's many parks Phoebe stopped in front of a Vendor. The cashier who owned the stand was a forty-something who looked like he did not want to be there.
Though, Phoebe quickly dismissed it as she browsed through the magazines on the rack. She selects one and picks up a pack of gum. She walks up to the cashier.
''Here you go.'' She called getting the cashier's attention and handing him the stuff. He looked at the price tags on the items and mentally calculated the amount.
''$3.52. '' The Cashier said as Phoebe digs into her bag for the money.
''Should we use the grand children's birthdays? '' An elderly man asked.
She looks up and sees an Elderly couple with a lottery ticket. He looks at her and smiles.
''It's a $10 million jackpot. Who knows? I mean, today may be our lucky day. ''
''Maybe. ''Phoebe agreed anyway.
''If not, we're going to lose our house. ''
Phoebe picks up a lottery ticket. As soon as she touches it, she has a premonition.
Quick flash of: The California Lottery Super Lotto balls appear on the television set: 4 16 19 30 32 40.
''4, 16, 19, 30, 32, and 40. Those are the winning numbers. ''
''Yeah, yeah, right, lady. You want this stuff or don't you?'' The Cashier scoffed. Phoebe tells the Elderly couple.
''4, 16, 19, 30, 32, and 40. Trust me, mister. Today is your lucky day. You know, I think I'll buy one of these lottery tickets, too.''
Phoebe takes a ticket and a pencil. She smiles at the couple.
Back at the Van Piper was waiting for Phoebe to return. The door finally opens and Phoebe slips inside.
''Ready, let's go.'' Phoebe said.
''What are you smiling about? ''Piper asked her suspiciously as she came up.
"Oh, nothing…" Phoebe lied casually.
Piper reverses the van and drives away. The old woman standing at the end of the line turns around and watches them go. She lifts up her right hand and scratches her temple. On the back of her write hand is a tattoo of an angel.
That night at a parked Car there was a stake-out in progress.
Open on Brittany Reynolds' photo. The tattoo is on the back of her right hand. Darryl hands the photo to Andy. He looks at it. The two men are sitting in a parked car outside Quake.''What do you want me to say? Something just does not feel right to me about this. I can't help it. '' Andy stated.
"Oh, here we go again…." He muttered, making himself comfortable. Andy ignored him and continued.
"I mean, where are they alright? What's this guy doing with these poor women?" Andy asked aloud. Darryl smirked and glanced toward his partner.
"Thinking an alien abduction are you?" Darryl joked, causing Andy to turn and glare at him.
"I'm serious Morris." He countered, looking back out the window. Darryl frowned and shook his head.
''I know. That's what scares me. Let me guess. Favorite movie growing up, Ghostbusters? Am I right? Look, we got a crazy, Trudeau. Likes the pretty ladies. That's it. The end. If he comes back looking for more, we're gonna grab him, tag him, make the world a safer place. That too hard to follow? ''
"Evil Dead II." Andy suddenly replied and Darryl looked back at him in confusion. Andy grinned and explained.
"Favorite movie growing up. Just for the record." Darryl smiled and Andy looked back out his window to catch sight of Prue getting out of her car and entering the restaurant.
"The bank across the street. I think we should grab the ATM tapes and see if….." Darryl trailed off as he heard the door of the car open as Andy got out of the car.
"Whoa… Whoa. Where are you going?" He asked. Andy pointed silently and Darryl began to shake his head. "No, no, forget it Romeo. You're not blowing our cover."
"Come on Morris, cut me some slack. I have to talk to her." He pleaded, glancing back behind him to where Prue had just disappeared. "Please, just five minutes. That's all I need" He added. Darryl rolled his eyes, but pointed at his watch silently saying he was keeping time. Andy grinned and set the timer on his watch.
At that same time at Quake Piper was working like always while Prue was carefully traversing through the crowded restaurant looking for Piper. She was about to head into the kitchen when Piper came running out ordering several workers to different duties.
"Come on Cindy, your salmon's up… Hector, way behind. We need clean plates!" Piper frantically called before Prue reached out and grabbed Piper's hands, forcing her to look at her.
"You didn't give Andy my cell phone number by any chance did you?" Prue asked, causing Piper to give her a confused look.
"No, why?" Piper replied, looking around at the restaurant in frustration. Prue shook her head and followed Piper as she walked toward the cash register. "Remind me, I wanted to do this for a living." She muttered.
"Looks like you're the only one of us who's going to be doing anything for a living. I think I blew my interview…" Prue admitted sighing. Piper flashed a semi-annoyed look.
"I can't imagine it was less than stellar." Piper countered. She was suddenly pulled to a stop as Prue halted staring at Phoebe in aggravation.
"What's Phoebe doing here?" Prue demanded, glaring at her little sister.
"Flirting..." Piper answered shortly.
"Yeah… and she's wearing Armani… where did she get that?" Prue snapped, glancing at Piper quickly.
"Not from my closet… Gotta go." Piper responded pulling away from Prue and heading back into the kitchen. Prue watched her leave and approached her youngest sister.
"Prue, hi." Phoebe greeted before turning to Stefan. "This is my other sister… Prue, this is Stefan the photographer." She introduced. Prue forced a fake smile and shook hands with him.
"Pleasure." Stefan replied.
"Likewise" Prue countered and her eyes flickered over Phoebe's dress. "Nice dress." Prue brought up casually.
"Don't worry. It's not yours." Phoebe stated as she leaned back into her chair.
''I know. I could never afford it." Prue answered, forcing her tone of voice to stay positive. Phoebe frowned slightly and turned to Stefan. "Will you excuse me for a minute?" She asked pleasantly and got up from her chair. She irritably grabbed both Prue's hand and led her away.
Stefan glances down at his hands and he's aging again – his hand is old, spotted and wrinkly, his fingernails brown with age.
Phoebe walks into the kitchen. Prue was close behind her.
"What do you mean you charged it? How are you going to pay for that? You're broke," Prue scolded, her eyes flashing in anger. Phoebe spun around to face Prue defiantly.
"Not for long," She countered, glaring at her eldest sister. Prue sighed in understanding.
"You didn't use your powers again…" Prue stated, shaking her head in frustration.
"Maybe. Are you saying you haven't?" Phoebe shot back.
"No I'm not saying that, but we're not talking about me, are we?" Prue snapped, her voice beginning to rise. At this point, Piper came running up to them. Piper glanced around the kitchen trying to see if anyone had heard the conversation.
"What are you guys doing in here?" She hissed, looking nervous.
"The same thing we do at home," Phoebe replied without turning to look at Piper. Prue ignored Piper and continued.
"So what did you do? Go to the tracks, play the market, what?" She demanded
"The lottery." Phoebe admitted, her eyes narrowed in defiance.
"Phoebe!" Piper scolded loudly.
"What did you want me to do? Ignore the premonition. Not help a needy family. That's what we're supposed to do!" Phoebe yelled.
"No! We're not supposed to use our powers for our own personal gain. That's what it says in The Book of Shadows." Prue countered.
"Not so loud!" Piper pleaded, pacing around her sisters.
"You said we needed money right? Well, I'm getting some." Phoebe pointed out.
"Come on you guys." Piper pleaded some more, only to be ignored again.
"So get a job like everyone else!" Prue yelled, all her frustration of the day being released.
"I'm using my mind instead!" Phoebe retorted. At that moment the door to the kitchen once again opened as Andy pushed through looking for Prue.
"Prue?" He called, his eyes focusing on her. Prue froze hoping she had heard wrong while Phoebe and Piper watched him approach nervously. As he walked toward her he bumped into a worker carrying plates, causing him to fall and drop the plates.
"Watch it!" Piper shouted throwing her hands out. The plates froze just before hitting the ground as did everything else in the room. All three sisters were left staring wide-eyed at the situation. "Oh no, not again…" Piper muttered beginning to pace frantically
"Now look what you have done!" Prue shouted, waving her hand to emphasize the situation.
"This is my fault?" Phoebe yelled in disbelief. Piper looked up at them in surprise.
"You guys aren't frozen?" She asked in confusion.
"I guess it doesn't work on witches." Phoebe suggested with a shrug.
Prue sees everyone in the main dining room is unfrozen. "How long are these people going to stay frozen?"
''I don't know… not long." Piper answered, trying to take deep breaths to calm herself.
''Uh, it doesn't work out here, either. ''
''Oh, tell me this isn't happening!''
Elsewhere Naruto had decided to follow Piper seeing as she was the one who had the most doubts. He watched as Piper and Phoebe have a heartfelt talk.
''You don't understand. You don't think we are. You're never afraid of anything. I envy that about you. Always have.''
''Yeah, well, don't, because it gets me into trouble sometimes. Piper, talk to me.''
''I don't know. It's just ... our whole lives we've been like everybody else. Rushing off to work, going out on bad dates, and buying shoes. Then suddenly we wake up one day, and ... everything is different. We're witches now. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. ''
''Are you kidding? It's a great thing. ''
''You don't know that. We don't know anything about these powers. Why we have them, what they mean, where they even come from. I mean, how do we know it's not ... how do we know it's not from evil?''
''Piper, we've been through this. We're good witches. ''
''How do we know? What about Jeremy? What about all the other warlocks he said would be coming after us? How do we know we're not just like them? That is what scares me. We don't know. I just ... I just want to be normal again, as messed up as that was. Is that too much to ask for? ''
''Piper, listen to me. You...are the sweetest, most caring person I have ever met. No, I mean that. You are. You're always there to help anybody, even strangers. You've been doing it your whole life. So there's no way that you've been given this... this gift ... if it wasn't to do good things with it. To protect the innocent just like the Book of Shadows says. Besides, if anyone should be concerned with being bad, it's me, right?'' She laughs. ''You've got nothing to be afraid of. I gotta run. I am going to get my picture taken.'' She stands up and poses. Piper laughs. Phoebe whirls around and leaves the attic.
Naruto promptly left as he went to his house. He got a ring on the phone. ''Hello there Hannah any news?'' He asked as the woman told him her suspicions of Prue being a Witch. About how she used her power to deflect paint. ''Keep your eyes posted and your ears open,'' He said as he decided to watch the Charmed Ones vanquish his crony.
The first things the sister did upon arriving home were to walk over to the Book of Shadows. ''Piper, what were you talking about?'' Piper starts flipping through the pages.
''I'm telling you, I saw something about it in the Book of Shadows. Ok, look. See? '' The middle sister said reading through it. She ran into one of the demon's victims. She may have been senile but she knew things only Brittney Reynolds knew…she also had the tattoo on her hand which was rare for anyone inside the states.
"Javna feeds one week out of every year, stealing the life force from the young ... '' She read quickly. "By invoking a black magic power that will allow the caster to gain eternal youth." Piper declared, pointing at the page again. Prue re-read the passage and nodded.
''It's gotta be what happened to Brittany. ''
''There must be some kind of incantation to reverse it somehow. ''She flips to another page in the Book. ''There is. The Hand of Fatima. It says that the Prophet Mohammed invoked it centuries ago to banish Javna back to wherever the hell he came from. ''
''Yeah, well, the problem is, we don't know who Javna really is, let alone where he is.''
Brittany is walking downstairs in the kitchen and looking around. She sees the address on the napkin hanging on the refrigerator. She removes it and stares at it trying to recall something. She gasps and collapses.
From up in the attic, they hear a thud.
''Brittany? '' Piper called worriedly before dashing off down the stairs closely followed by Prue.
They turn into the kitchen and find Old Brittany sitting on the floor.
''Oh, my god, what happened?'' Piper frantically asked. ''Brittany, are you all right?''
''Should I call 911?'' Prue suggested?
''And tell them what, that she's dying of old age at 25?'' Piper picks up the napkin.
"What is it?'
"It's a cocktail napkin from my restaurant… with Stefan's address on the back" Piper explained, sounding confused. Britney weakly put her finger on the address.
"Javna…" She whispered her eyes wide with fright. Both sisters fell silent and cast fearful glances at each other.
"Prue… that's where Phoebe went." Piper finally choked out.
Phoebe vainly tried to break the bonds that held her tied to the table all the previous victims had been on.
''Please ... Stefan ... or whoever you are, let me go. '' Phoebe pleaded just as Javna steps into the light and she sees how old and wrinkly he is.
''It's Javna. '' He hissed slowly. His eyes began to glow red and Phoebe screamed.
Outside Prue drove up to the studio building and parks just behind the van. They get out of the car and check the van.
''Do you see anything?'' Prue called as she turned the car off.
"No…" Piper whispered beginning to panic.
"It's okay, Piper, we'll find her." Prue insisted.
"Maybe we should call the police?" Piper suggested, giving Prue a worried glance. Prue shook her head.
"No, if Javna has her we're the only ones who can stop him." She berated gently.
''But we need Phoebe to do it. The incantation only works with the three of us.'' She said as they hear Phoebe scream. They head for the building.
Javna's eyes glow red. Light beams from Javna's eyes shoot out and hit Phoebe in her eyes. The door opens and Piper and Prue steps inside the building. Javna stops shooting beams at Phoebe, turns and looks at Prue. She squints her eyes and sends Javna flying against the opposite wall. He falls to the floor with a thud. Piper hurries to the table to free Phoebe.
''Piper!''
Javna gets to his feet, turns and aims his eyes at Prue. They glow and beams shoot out and connect with Prue's eyes. He makes his way to her and she glides over the floor toward him. '' We need you. We don't have a lot of time, ok? '' She said freeing Phoebe.
Phoebe scrambles off the table. Meanwhile, Prue is being pulled toward Javna.
''Prue, grab the mirror! '' Phoebe yelled to Prue reaches out and grabs the mirror off the table. She uses its reflection to deflect Javna's eye beams. It shoots back at him and he screams in pain. He falls back against the table then shoots the eye beams at Prue again, this time she's ready for him. It deflects off the mirror back at him, temporarily blinding him.
Piper and Phoebe flank Prue who take south the spell.
''All right, now.''
All three sisters began to chant. ''Evil eyes, look unto thee, may they soon extinguished be. Bend thy will to the power of three, eye of earth, evil and accursed. ''
Prue hands the mirror to Piper to hold.
''You can't stop me. I will live forever! No! '' Javna yells as Prue holds out her hand and it glows into the Hand of Fatima. A thick, white beam of light shines out from the center of her palm and hits Javna square in his chest.
''Evil eyes, look unto thee, may they soon extinguished be. Bend thy will to the power of three, eye of earth, evil and accursed. ''
''No! No! '' He screams and falls back onto the table. He stops struggling and his body ages. It explodes leaving a skeleton behind. The beam continues to shine out from Prue's hand. It washes over the skeleton till it turns to dust.
The beam of light stops. The wind blows the dust away.
The sisters watch and soon there is nothing left.
Back at the manor, Brittany is leaning tiredly back against the couch. She morphs back to her young self. She sits up and looks at herself.
As the sisters left the building the sounds of police sirens filled the air as the cars got closer. There was no way they could be able to pull a disappearing act so the sisters huddled next to the two cars as the squad cars parked in the parking lot. Several officers, including Andy and Darryl, jumped out of their vehicles and began to surround the studio.
"What the hell?" Darryl asked, noticing the three sisters.
"Prue?" Andy called in surprise as he ran toward them, followed closely by Darryl. "What are you doing here?" He demanded while Darryl began to order some other officers to their duties. Prue forced herself not to bite her lip or look at her sisters.
"Well, we were just trying to get the van started." She lied, pointing towards the Quake van that Phoebe had arrived in. Piper jumped to back up the lie.
"Yeah, Phoebe called and said she was having car trouble" Piper added casually pointing back toward Phoebe.
"Stefan was going to take some pictures of me…" Phoebe explained to Andy's questioning look.
"Do you guys have any idea how lucky you are? This guy is the stalker…" He informed them as the three glanced at each other and feigned their characteristic looks in such a situation. Prue looked worried, Piper leaned into Prue looking scared, and Phoebe looked surprised. Darryl came up behind Andy and got his attention.
"There's no sign of him inside, but his car is here so he might still be around." He explained and then glanced at the three sisters. "Stay with them," He ordered and walked off. Andy watched Darryl leave and then looked back at the van.
"Excuse me," Andy stated as he gently pushed Phoebe and Piper farther away from the door to the van. He reached through the open window and turned the keys in the ignition. The van roared to life and Andy glanced back at them with a knowing look.
"Hey how about that, you fixed it." Piper offered acting impressed only to receive a sarcastic grin from Andy.
"Maybe we should go?" Phoebe suggested.
"Good idea," Andy agreed and walked to stand questioningly in front of Prue. Piper glanced between the two and hurried off after Phoebe to wait in the car.
"Uh… thanks," Prue whispered, smiling awkwardly, her eyes flickering to the van and back to Andy who gave her a slight nod. "Call me?" She asked hopefully.
"Sure" Andy replied. Prue gave a slight nod in return and walked around Andy to join her sisters in the car. Andy turned to watch her leave before turning to find Darryl.
That night at the manor the Charmed Ones were exhausted mentally and physically from their ordeal hoping to get home and rest but of course things are never that easy. They walked in the door and turned on the lights and sure enough the same figure from the other day was there.
''I see Javna has failed.'' He said flipping a page in one of the girl's photo albums. ''A simple minded creature with simple desires. I wouldn't suggest attacking me, I doubt you three will tickle me let alone be able to vanquish me,'' The figure said squashing any plans of resistance.
''Tempest!" the hot temper hiss escaped Prue's lips. "What do you want with me and my sisters?''
''What I want? It's not what I want but what the inhabitants of the underworld fear.''
''Fear? Why would they fear us?''
''You're the Charmed Ones. Quite simply you're destined to become the most powerful witches that have ever lived. Warlocks and demons fear you not only because of the power but your potential to be a powerful symbol for good. The one invincible force of good capable of vanquishing them especially those who have history with the Warren/Halliwell line."
"Then what about you? Are you hear seeking vengeance or is it because you want out powers.'' Piper questioned as the figure chuckled and shook his head. He then closed the photo album and placed it on the table. ''I can teleport, control the elements, and shape shift.'' he listed off. ''I have no need for your abilities…If I were you girls I practice and master your powers as soon as you can…just know I'll have my eye on the three of you…Word of advice…'Through the eyes you can find the Source'…Sayonara,'' The figure said as he disappeared into a puff of smoke.
''Great…and just when things couldn't get any more complicated,'' Phoebe said as the girls decided to turn in and wander what to do about the visitor tomorrow.
