I am so sorry that it took me so long to update this fic. I am still planning on writing this, and hopefully now that my home situation is better, I will be able to update sooner!
Prue's POV
I pulled Piper and Phoebe down with me as several energy balls came toward us. What the hell possessed Mom to go to the Underworld by herself? Swishing my arms at the oncoming demons, I sent them tumbling back. "Paige…" I called out, and she squinted much like used to and orbed a demon into an oncoming fireball. "Orb Mom, Dad, and Grams outta here!" I yelled at them. They glared at me; I know what I was doing. They can't be here, and we can't split our focus on protecting them and vanquishing all of the demons.
"But Prue!" Paige started to protest.
"Paige just do it!" Phoebe called out, shooting up in the air holding Mom in her arms, and levitating her over towards Grams.
Paige frowned lightly, and waved her hand at the set of parental units, "Home!" she called out, and in a wave of orbs they were out of the Underworld. Alright, it is time vanquish these demons, and get the hell out of here. Piper waved her hands at one of the slowly growing group, and he exploded.
"I don't think we can hold off this many demons for much longer," Piper said, throwing a freeze whammy on the demons.
I bit my lip seeing even though as Piper froze them, more seemed to shimmer in. "Alright," I muttered. "Any mass vanquishing spells?" I asked looking towards Phoebe.
"Hey, that is supposed to be your department super witch, looking at the Book of Shadows all the time," Phoebe snapped at me. Ok I guess I deserved that one, I have been studying the book and looking into colleges out of state. I just don't want the only human connection I have to leave without me.
"Alright let's get the hell out of here," I said sending a fireball back at a demon. Paige grabbed us, and felt the odd sensation sweep over us as Paige orbed us back home. I shook my head, checked over at my sisters. "You guys ok?" I questioned. I got an affirmative nod from each sister, and saw Grams, Mom, and Dad glowering at me. Great…here comes the ranting.
"What is wrong with you Prue!?" Grams started, "You could have gotten you and your sisters killed!" she started.
"Mom…" Mom started, trying to calm down Grams.
"Look, Grams…you can't just go vanquishing demons like you used to!" I snapped at her. "Your heart might not be able to handle it," I sighed, rubbing my hand against my eyes.
"Now young lady," Grams started.
"Penny…I think Prue might be right," Dad stepped in. I smiled, glad that Dad was on my side about this.
Grams took in a heaving breath; "Grams…" pretty much all of us approached her.
"I'm fine," she said, swatting us all away.
"Mom…why don't we go and get you to relax," Mom said, pulling her away from the rest of us. As they walked away, Dad looked at my arm.
"What?" I asked, looking at my arm.
"Prue…you got hit with a fireball," Dad said in a concerned voice.
"I'm fine," I said.
"Prue…you aren't fine," he murmured, taking me by my un-injured arm. I gave Piper the look to freeze him, but she shook her head. "C'mon kiddo," he said, and I rolled my eyes. Dad led me over to the kitchen, and pulled out the first Aid Kit that had been there ever since Dad moved back in. I don't like being babied. "Stand still Prue," Dad whispered lightly. The door bell rang, and I jumped to go answer it. "Prue…someone else is going to answer it," I rolled my eyes, and set myself against the counter.
Phoebe's POV
"I got it!" I yelled as I heard the doorbell ring. I sprinted past Piper, and looked through the peep hole. I saw it was Andy, and smiled lightly. "Hey," Phoebe said with a smile, letting Andy in. He wrapped me in a brotherly hug, and I eagerly returned it. It had seemed like forever since he had last been over, him training to be a police officer and all.
"How are you doing Phoebs?" he asked me, as I closed the door behind him. I let out a sigh, and shook my head.
"Ok I guess," I murmured back. "How goes the Police Academy stuff?" I asked, changing the subject.
"It is going really well," Andy said with a smile. I frowned lightly, realizing he might transfer to Seattle soon. "Hey…what's wrong?" he questioned. Suddenly I felt concern wash over me. Here I was feeling sad…well I still feel my sadness about Andy and possibly Prue leaving, but…
"Ow!" I said, suddenly my hand jumping to my upper arm.
"What's wrong?" Andy questioned, taking a look at my arm.
"Nothing," I said turning around, heading towards the kitchen. I hear d Andy following me into the kitchen, and suddenly felt a burst of worry for Prue. It wasn't my worry…what the hell is going on?
"Prue are you ok?" Andy asked in a concerned voice.
"Yeah I'm-," Dad dabbed Prue's wound with some rubbing alcohol and she and I both yelped, "OW!" Did…did I just develop a power? Prue, Andy, and Daddy looked at me strangely.
"Yeah…I'm just going to go now," I said, clearly feeling their accusatory thoughts.
"Where do you think you are going missy?" Dad asked me, walking away from Prue.
Victor's POV
"Upstairs…gotta study for a test," Phoebe said, pushing her hair behind her shoulders. She turned around, and I shook my head. There is no way Phoebe would willingly study for a test. Something was up with my little girl.
I walked over to her, and turned her around. "Phoebe…"
"I'm fine Dad, stop worrying so much," she sighed. She let out a gasp, and instantly I thought she was having a premonition. She let out a strangled sigh, and turned to let out an accusatory glare at Andy. "Geez, can't you keep your hands off her for like two seconds Andy?" she snapped at him.
I looked at him, a blush slightly coming onto his features. Prue glared at her younger sister, and I shook my head at them. They are teenagers, she is nineteen I am not going to say anything. I turned back to my youngest biological daughter, and grabbed her arm. "Alright, let's go somewhere else," I murmured, dragging her away from her sister. "Now what's going on?" I asked in a concerned voice.
She rubbed her temples tiredly. "I think I got a new power," She murmured. I am not sure how I should feel about this…her gaining another power. I mean, she already was almost a black belt in martial arts, she could practically fly, and she had premonitions..."God will you please stop being such a downer?" she snapped irritably at me.
"Sorry," I said.
"I am like tuning in on everyone's emotions…it is bad," she murmured. "I don't know…how they hell did I go from premonitions, to levitation, to this?" she questioned.
"I dunno Ladybug," I murmured. "Maybe we can talk to your Grams, or Mom," he suggested.
"Why don't we have a Whitelighter?" Phoebe asked him.
"I don't know about that either…all I know is that the Elders have been nothing but trouble," I assured her.
"I guess so," Phoebe said. "Look, I am going to go rest my head,"
"Ok, you feel better ok?" I murmured, placing a kiss on her forehead. She went upstairs, and I let out a sigh. Suddenly orbs jumped in next to me, and I jumped in surprise.
"Sorry Dad," Paige said, with a sheepish look.
"Its ok…" I said, shaking my head. "So whatcha need?" I asked.
"I wanted to ask if it was ok for me to go hang out with Glen and Henry," she questioned.
"I am not sure there Paigey," he murmured.
"We aren't going to do anything bad," Paige said with an eye-roll. "Plus I will be an orb away,"
"Alright," I said with a sigh. "Have fun,"
"Thanks Dad," Paige said with a bounce in her step. I shook my head as she ran towards the front of the manor. Prue walked into the room, with an annoyed look on her face.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked her, she shook her head. "I wouldn't go up there…Phoebe apparently has a new power, and she doesn't like it very much,"
"It kind of reminded me of that Empath we saved a couple years ago…" Prue mused. "Look, I am going out for a bit…don't tell Andy," she demanded softly. Before I could say anything, she had the car keys in her hands, and left in a hurry.
Piper's POV
"Andy honestly," Prue said with an agitated sigh. "I'm fine…just a normal battle mark from fighting demons,"
"Prue, you need to stop being so reckless-," Andy started, and Prue got up from the table.
"I don't really need a lecture right now," Prue said. I sighed and shook my head lightly at Prue. I don't know what is going on with her. Andy gently grabbed her arm, and just as I was about to give them some privacy, something fell and I turned around automatically freezing whatever was behind me," All I saw was Andy frozen in place, and Prue walking out the door. I sighed, and waved my hand at Andy, unfreezing him.
"What happened?" he questioned, looking around. "Was there a demon?" he questioned.
"No, Prue tricked me into freezing you," I said to him in a guilty voice. "Lucky for you, you didn't blow up," I said with a light smirk. "I wouldn't go after her right now Andy. She seemed a little annoyed. She tends to think she is invincible…and since we don't really have a whitelighter…she is probably beating herself up about it," Andy frowned lightly, realizing his mistake.
"Why did I forget that?" he questioned lightly.
"It's ok Andy…" I assured him, "you haven't lived with her," I said. "Anyways, she will just need to vent for a little bit,"
"Yeah…" Andy said crossing his arms.
I turned around and headed towards where the pots and pans were kept. Cooking always calmed my nerves after a demon battle. "Are you going to stay for dinner?" I asked. I'll cook Grams' favorite meal; that might cool her nerves about being forcibly orbed from battle.
"I don't want to be an inconvenience…" Andy murmured.
"Andy, you practically live here, I don't mind," I said with a shake of my head.
Paige's POV
As soon as Dad gave me to ok to leave, I went towards the front of the manor where I know where Glenn and Henry were. A part of me wished that I could tell them our secret, but with Dad and Andy already knowing…Oh well.
"Hey guys…" I said walking down the stairs, meeting my friends on the low porch.
"So you ok to come hang out?" Glenn asked.
"Yeah…" I said with a smile. "So what are we doing?" If they knew I was a witch, I could just orb wherever we wanted to go…"
"Dunno," Glenn said. "Hope you don't mind…" he said, "I am bringing another friend along as well," I shrugged my shoulders. I'm sure I will like whomever he said was going to come hang out with us…
I know this is open ended, but I ran outta ideas! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the update…
