Manor
Phoebe, Piper and Paige sat up in the attic flipping through the book of shadows. "What are we even looking for?" Piper asked after 5 minutes
"I don't know something to help anything" Phoebe answered, "its all my fault I should have kept and eye on here"
"You couldn't have helped it" Piper said to her
"You were fighting with us besides she not dead so there's still hope" Paige added "I'm sure Cole will be back with her any minute" just then Cole shimmered in with a shocked and frightened looking Jade
"Speak of the devil" Piper added
"I believe I found someone you were looking for"
"Oh thank god" Phoebe sighed
"This is too much to handle" Jade groaned as she sunk to her knees Piper walked over and bent down in front of her.
"This is hard but we can help you we know what you're going through" Jade looked up at her
"Ok" she whispered, "I'll stay here"
"Good. Do you need to ring someone? Tell them you're here?"
"Not like they care where I am but I'll ring them anyway" Piper nodded and led her downstairs to the kitchen where the phone was.
Manor-Kitchen
Piper and Jade walked in. Piper walked around the other side of the counter while Jade nervously shifted from foot to foot and looked around. Piper picked up the cordless phone and handed it to Jade.
"Thanks" she dialed the number and waited until Jonathan her adoptive dad picked up "Hello"
"What do you want?" came his voice on the other end.
"I, I just wanted to tell you that I'm staying at a friends tonight" Jade told him in a small voice
"I don't care what you do just don't go causing any weird shit to happen. It's bad enough that the town knows we have a juvenile delinquent living with us they don't need to know we have a juvenile delinquent freak living with us". With that he hung up on her so she put the phone back and clenched her fists. Slowly the temperature in the room dropped causing icicles to form on the windows and Piper's breath to become visible.
"Hey are you ok?" Jade turned to face Piper and saw her rubbing her arms
"Oh no I'm sorry I didn't mean to" Piper just smiled
"It's ok powers are controlled by emotions when I first got my ability to blow things up I destroyed half the kitchen" Jade looked at the floor "What's wrong?"
"I don't understand why you're helping me"
"Because you're in danger"
"But what if I'm a demon" Piper looked at her a little taken back "I mean I can't really remember my parents and Jonathon and Veronica have always told me how bad I am as well as the school so maybe that's why. Maybe I'm a demon maybe I'm evil" Piper shook her head
"You're not a demon" Piper put her hand on her shoulder but Jade just shook it off and stepped back.
"I'm dangerous" Jade hurries out of the kitchen and straight for the front door Piper hurries after her "I have to go"
"Wait don't"
"No!" Jade shouts causing a burst of cold air to explode from her and throw Piper backwards into the wall knocking her out. Jade looked at where Piper lay with a shocked expression on her face before running out of the front door and leaving it open behind her.
Manor
Piper is laying on one of the couches unconscious as Leo heals the injury on her forehead. When he's finished she takes in a sharp breath, sits up and looks at her two sisters.
"Was it a demon?" Paige asks
"Did it take Jade?" Phoebe added
"No it wasn't. It was Jade she let off some weird burst and sent me flying" Piper rubbed her head
"Why what happened?"
"After she got off the phone she said that everyone is always telling her she's bad and that then she came to the conclusion that she was a demon"
"So she attacked you?" Paige asked a little shocked
"No it wasn't like that I don't think she meant to do it"
"Well then we have to find her again before she does something she'll regret" Phoebe said matter-of-factly.
Streets-alley
Jade holds what looks like a small ball of swirling light blue gas in her right hand while standing over a scared homeless man.
"Please I'm begging you don't hurt me"
"I have to it's what I was born to do" Jade looked confused and lost.
"You don't wanna do that" Jade spun around to see where the female voice had come from but she couldn't see anyone one else around.
"Who's there?" the homeless man got up and scurried away while Jade was distracted "what do you want?"
"You" before Jade could react someone grabbed her from behind and pinned her arms to her side
"Let go of me" Jade struggled against the woman holding her but to no avail.
"No can do" the woman shut her eyes and both her and Jade orbed out of the alley.
Warehouse
They both orbed in and the woman let go of Jade. Jade spun around and looked at the woman for the first time she was about 5ft7 had medium length black hair and icy blue eyes. She was wearing a pair of black leather pants a black halter-top and a black leather jacket.
"Who are you?" the woman grinned and held out her hand
"I'm Shira" she morphed into a woman about the same height but with long mousy blonde hair and dark hazel eyes "shape shifter". Jade looked around the room and saw that there were two cages up the back of the room they both seemed empty apart from that there wasn't anything else here it was deserted.
"What do you want?"
"I want you to help me" Shira grinned before continuing "Now I heard a rumor you want to be a demon"
"That's not true I don't want to be anything but I can't change what I am"
"Well in that case I think I have someone for you to kill"
"I, I don't know if I can do that" Shira reached out and grabbed her by the throat
"Well you better be able to do it or it's your life on the line" Shira let go causing Jade to stumble backwards "I have three witches that need killing, The Charmed Ones. I want you to kill them after all they can't resist an 'innocent' in trouble"
"Who?" Shira looked at her impatiently
"You met them earlier I believe" realization dawned in Jade's eyes and she shook her head
"No I won't I can't" Shira grabbed her by the throat again and lifted her off of the ground
"What!"
"You can't make me" Shira growled and thrust Jade right into a wall effectively knocking her out and causing a large gash to open on the back of her head. "Stupid witches" she turned towards the cages and spoke "This won't save them it just bought them a little time"
"You won't get a chance to hurt them" came a woman's voice full of venom but slightly raspy "just wait until I get out of here"
"Ah but I look just like you so they won't hurt me. Besides you don't have a lot of time left" With that she morphed into her form from before and clicked her fingers. A large bulky man shimmered in "dragged this one into the second cage we may need her later" the man hoisted Jade up onto his shoulder and put her in the cage next to the one that the woman's voice had come from before shimmering out again. "I'll be back later" she grinned and orbed out.
Streets
Piper, Phoebe and Paige are sitting in Piper's SUV scanning the streets. Phoebe has the map on her lap, Piper is driving and Paige is in the back seat.
"It's just over there," Phoebe points to an alleyway across the street" Piper parks the car and they all get out "Ok according to the scrying crystal this is where she was".
"Maybe you can get a premonition off of something". They all walked down to the end of the alley and started looking around Phoebe walked over to where she saw a coat lying on the ground and picked it up, instantly she was hit with a premonition
PremonitionShe sees Jade holding the ice ball over the homeless man. Then she sees the woman grab a hold of her. She sees the woman face then sees them orb out.
"Phoebe did you have a premonition?" Paige asked her as she came out of it
"What did you see Phoebe?" Piper asked
"I saw a ghost" Phoebe looked at them blankly "I saw Prue with Jade orbing"
"What?" Piper shook her head "But that's impossible isn't it"
"Nothings impossible Piper"
"Ok you know what, Leo!" in a few seconds Leo orbed in and looked around "Leo why did Phoebe have a premonition of Prue, orbing" Leo shifted uncomfortable "Leo"
"You're not supposed to find out it was part of the deal she made"
"Leo what deal?" Phoebe asked
"For her to become a whitelighter"
"What!" Piper yelled, "Is this why they kept coming up with those lame excuses as to why we couldn't summon Prue"
"Yes"
"Well can we see her now" Phoebe asked Leo looked down at the floor
"No she's been missing for the last three weeks she was helping a charge when she just disappeared off of the elders radar"
"Well is anyone looking for her?" Piper asked angrily
"All the whitelighter are keeping their eyes and ears open but so far no ones seen or heard anything. I have to go" Leo looks up at the sky and orbs out.
"Leo!" Piper called again but he didn't return, "We have to do something we have to find Prue" Piper hurried towards her car followed closely by Phoebe and Paige.
Warehouse
Jade slowly blinked hey eyes open and found herself laying on a stone floor with metal bars all around her. She sat up and rubbed the back of her head, she felt dizzy from the injury.
"Hey are you ok?" she heard the voice she had heard in the alley so she spun around quickly and saw the woman Shira had looked like before she had changed into her normal body. The woman was sitting down in the cage next to Jade's.
"Why would you care? You're the one who knocked me out"
"No I'm not I'm the one she's impersonating" Jade looked at her wearily "I'm Prue Halliwell" she reached her hand through the bars Jade stared at it before reaching out and shaking it
"I'm Jade Greenheart" they both let go and leaned against the bars "your last name sounds familiar" Prue chuckled
"Yea from what I heard you met my sisters earlier'
"They're your sister but you weren't mentioned" Prue shifted slightly
"That's because I died at the end of last year"
"What do you mean?" Jade asked puzzled
"Well I was killed by a demon but then I was turned into a whitelighter"
"A what?"
"Whitelighter we're sort of guardian angels for witches"
"How comes I never had one?"
"It's hard to keep track of all witches in the world so some witches don't have a whitelighter because we don't know about them"
"So I'm guessing your sisters don't know"
"Nope and now they're in danger and I can't help them"
"But maybe I can"
"What do you mean?"
"Well what if I accept Shira's offer, what if I pretend to help her?"
"No it's too dangerous"
"No more dangerous then both of us being kept in cages in her charge" Prue looked at the floor "I can get a message to your sisters, warn them"
"Ok but be careful and your gonna have to make it look real or she'll see right through it"
"I can do it" as if on call Shira shimmered in and turned towards the cages "You and the others are full of shit I'm not listening to anything you have to say" Jade jumps up and creates an ice ball in her hand "I'm gonna do what ever I can to destroy you "Prue jumps up as well.
"I'd love to see you try" from Shira's point of view she sees Prue and Jade locked in a fierce stare off "you don't have the power or the guts"
"I think she does" Both Jade and Prue turn to see Shira and act surprised "So are you ready to help me now?" Jade walks up to the cage door
"You got yourself a lackey"
"Excellent"
