Chapter 21 Taking Action, Part 2

It was dark and cold in the cemetery, a place neither of Piper's boys wanted to be. But their lives were in danger from two girls Wyatt and Christopher once called family. The three manifested from blue and white orbs of light.

"It's freezing," George complained his hands buried inside his coat pockets.

"Quit complaining we won't be long, hopefully." Wyatt replied.

"It won't be a long walk."

"I thought you orbed us straight there."

"No, two lefts and one right and we'll be there," Chris said as he led the trio to the right spot. The three looked directly at the grave thanks to Wyatt holding a turned-on torch, the boys could see perfectly.

Patricia Halliwell.

April 5th, 1950- February 28th, 1978

"Sorry grams," Chris apologised.

"This is some messed up stuff; you're having us do Christopher."

"Oh, I don't know kid, this isn't the first grave Chris and I have dug up," Wyatt said as he and Chris started to dig.

"It's not!" George replied in utter surprise.

"Hell no," Chris chuckled. "This has to be what our tenth grave dig Wyatt."

"Eleventh," Wyatt corrected. "Though, I never pictured digging up one of our own."

"Start digging," Chris ordered George. The youngest boy got to work also. Minutes passed before they reached the coffin.

"Where are the crowbars?" Chris asked.

"Crowbars." George frowned. "What crowbars?"

"The ones to open the coffin," Chris said.

"You didn't tell me, we needed crowbars," George replied.

"Yes, I did."

"No, you didn't it,"

"Yes, I did."

"Guys!" Wyatt cut in annoyed at his brothers' bickering. "Christopher just use your telekinesis to open it,"

"Oh," Both Chris and George said slightly embarrassed. Chris then handed his shovel to Wyatt and made a gesture to the coffin opening it. George turned away from the coffin to avoid looking at the remains of Patricia Halliwell. Seconds passed and Chris closed the coffin and passed Wyatt the 'ingredient' to put in a plastic bag.

"You can look now," Wyatt told his little brother. George faced the coffin again which was now being lowered back into its rightful place with the dirt covering it again via Chris' telekinesis.

"There's a light," A girl called out. Wyatt quickly switched his torch out. Chris then quickly orbed the three of them back over to the Gilbert house.


The Mitchell trio were in their kitchen brewing potions with their father who was standing close by watching them. While Henry never hated magic, there were times he hated that his children had it. For countless days he couldn't help but be afraid his children would die at the hands of a demon or a warlock. But going against their own family was something he couldn't have imagined.

"Sea salt, mustard seed and a white rose." Henry Junior read out loud from the Mitchell Book of Shadows.

"Here's the salt and mustard seed," Kat said after, she fetched some out of the kitchen cupboard and passed it over to Tamora who was standing over the oven brewing the potion.

"The rose," Tamora spoke up. "The power stripping potion won't work without it,"

"I'll get one," Henry sighed as he left the kitchen and came back with a single rose from the vase on the dining table.

"Thank you," Kat accepted the rose and tossed it in the saucepan a poof of smoke came and went.

"It needs to boil for two-hundred seconds." Henry Junior explained. "I'll time it,"

"Phoebe won't take you three stripping her girls of their powers well. When your mom and she come home," Henry pointed out.

"I love Aunt Phoebe, Dad; I really do but after PJ tossed us out of the window and broke Chris' connection to the book. They have to be stopped." Kat replied.

"We don't even know what their endgame is," Tamora added.

"I know, but I think…"

"Dad the time for thinking has long passed. We strip the girls of their powers and we'll deal with Aunt Phoebe later." Henry Junior butted in.

"PJ and Peyton made it clear in the attic; they only care about themselves now. Besides PJ was always complaining about how magic got in between her and her dates. When she's mortal, she will have all the time in the world for her dates." Kat said.

"It's just getting close to PJ and Peyton will be the hard part," Tamora pointed out.


PJ and Peyton travelled down into a small part of the Underworld using their ability to move from one place to another in a beam of pink light. The moment they appeared they were attacked by what must have appeared to them be an endless assault of bats. Thanks to some of the demonic powers they had stolen, they threw fire at a dozen bats, killing several vampires. Until the vampire queen took on a human-like form to confront the two witches.

"You dare attack my home," The vampire queen snapped.

"We didn't come to attack you; we've come to make a deal." PJ replied.

"Cease!" The vampire queen ordered her subjects and they retreated not wishing to disrespect her. The sisters stopped throwing fire and turned their full attention to the queen.

"Thank you," Peyton said.

"Don't thank me, child. I still have yet to decide what to do with you." The vampire queen replied.

"Look we have a deal to offer."

"Go ahead then,"

"We have something in common Wyatt Matthew Halliwell." PJ said.

"Piper's firstborn the Twice Blessed." The vampire queen responded.

"The ex-twice blessed." Peyton corrected.

"Ex-twice blessed." The vampire queen frowned in confusion.

"He was rightfully stripped of his powers not so long ago, he can't even scry now." PJ told the queen.

"Why are you telling me this?" The vampire queen asked. "Exposing a weakness of someone you call family."

"He's not family to us anymore the same with his brothers and our cousins."

"They turned their backs on our sister," Peyton said.

"Here's the deal Wyatt spent the past few years trying to take you out. Now that he's mortal he's vulnerable join us and we'll grant you immunity."

"Immunity from whom?" The vampire queen asked.

"Us and the last two remaining Charmed Ones," PJ answered.

"Wyatt's head to use as a footstool is tempting." The vampire queen hummed.

"We'll even take out a few demon clans down here for you," Peyton said. There was silence between the three for an undetermined amount of time until the queen decided to voice her decision.

"I guess we have a deal." The vampire queen told the girls.
