Chapter 7
Piper and Prue rushed over to the windows checking to make sure that they were locked. Both sisters checked them again to be sure. Dean came out of the kitchen looking to the elder witches with apprehensive looks on his face. Dean glanced up stairs in fear for his kid brother while Prue turned around to look at them. She was putting her foot down.
"I'm gonna call the cops." Prue spoke out as she went to go and grab the phone with fear over the situation as she rushed over to go and grab the phone. Piper and Dean both glanced at one another before following after their sister with concern written all over their faces.
"And tell them what? That we're witches? That some freak with powers beyond comprehension is trying to kill us? Even if the cops did come, they'd be no match for Jeremy and we'd be next." Piper yelled out at her sister as she tried to get a Prue to see the rational side. Prue hung her head with anger. She didn't know what to do. She had to protect her brothers and sisters by any means necessary but she didn't know how to save them from what was happening.
"Yeah Prue, we can't go to the cops with something like this." Dean called out to his big sister agreeing with the older witch as the both looked at one another with fear. Prue grabbed her hair in anger and frustration. She needed to find a way to save her family. It was then that they heard the thumping of someone coming down the hairs to find Phoebe.
"I think we found something! It's our only hope, come on!" Phoebe called out to her siblings with excitement of maybe finding a way to save her family. Piper and Prue glanced at one another as Dean began rushing up the stairs passed Phoebe. The sisters then followed to find Sam sitting beside an altar. Prue looked down at the spell as Phoebe arranged them into a sitting order.
"What's up with the altar?" Dean asked his little brother and big sister with confusion over what was going on. He didn't understand the book, the pot and the other stuff. Phoebe ignored the teen as she grabbed a lighter and began setting the candles alight. Sam looked up to see all of his siblings looking at him with confusion.
"It's for the spell. The spell that will stop that jerk from hurting us." Sam told Dean with slight apprehension over whether or not it would work as he helped Phoebe place the candles in a circle around the altar. Piper looked on in confusion as Prue read the spell. Finishing she grabbed some spices as Phoebe grabbed the oil.
"Okay, we've placed the nine candles anointed with oils and spices in a circle." Prue spoke out to the group with apprehension over what they were doing and what was happening. Piper looked over and counted the candles with confusion. Dean glanced around his self-feeling like a total freak in the room while Sam and Phoebe glanced around making sure they had everything.
"Wait, I only counted eight." Piper pointed out to the room as Prue and Dean glanced around counting the candles around them both coming up with eight as Sam looked around for the ninth candle feeling fear and worry on what would happen if it didn't work.
"You forgot this one." Phoebe spoke out to her siblings picking up a pink birthday candle from the place beside her. Sam bit his lip as he looked to it with worry while the others raised their eyebrows looking at it with confusion. Dean now officially felt like an idiot for having the candle.
"A birthday candle?" Piper asked her little sister with confusion towards her younger sister before glancing to her baby brother. Sam shrugged his shoulders finding the humor in the situation. Dean then glared at the brown haired boy, hating when the kid shrugged.
"I think it's the candle from my birthday." Sam spoke with a simple minded tone as he looked over at the pink candle thinking back to his birthday, he smiled. It had been two months after Grams had died. He remembered how Piper, Prue and Dean had done everything to make his day a happy day for him despite Phoebe not being there. Everyone looked to the fifteen year old with sympathy.
"I guess Grams was a little low on witch supplies." Phoebe pointed out to her siblings as she lighted the birthday candle with the lighter feeling worried but unable to voice her worry in fear of scaring the boys and Piper. Dean glared at the candle feeling just like a freak. This was the one part of being a witch that he didn't understand.
"Great. And we don't look stupid enough." Dean muttered in annoyance to everything that was going on. Sam elbowed his big brother as Prue glared at him, trying to stay in control as Phoebe put the now lit birthday candle in the pot. Prue nodded her head feeling jumpy about what was to come while Piper took a deep breathe.
"All right, next, we need the poppet." Prue pointed out to her siblings with a slight stutter that no one bar her siblings would notice. Sam glanced to his big sister causing Prue to light squeeze his forearm to comfort the young boy. Sam nodded his head as he glanced over to the pot.
"Got it." Piper called out to her siblings picking up the poppet in her hands. Phoebe glanced to her sister while Sam nodded his head with fear of what was to come. Dean just looked at the poppet with a frown not understanding what that thing was supposed to do.
"I think we're set. We're ready to cast the spell." Prue finally spoke feeling apprehensive over the spell and whether or not it would work. She was getting scared now. More so than she was used too. Sam nodded his head hoping over anything that the spell would work and they would live through the night. Dean nodded his head hoping to get everything over with.
"Okay, first, I'll make it stronger." Piper spoke as she looked at the poppet with feeling of hat. She couldn't believe that he had done this to her. Piper thought as something like a spell came to her mind. While her siblings watched her with confusion and wonder on what she was actually doing.
Your love will wither and depart from my life and my heart.
Let me be Jeremy and go away forever.
Piper chanted as she dug the thorn of the Rose into the stomach of the poppet before placing the poppet into the bowl of where the potion was. The siblings all looked at one another, feeling sympathetic towards Piper.
"Okay the spells complete." Piper said with a worrying tone that seemed to annoy her as they all watched the pot to see if anything would happen. Sam had an uneasy feeling in his gut that he couldn't even understand, as a pain in the back of his head began to take notice. Prue just nodded as she continued to stare at the pot.
"Let's hope it works." Prue spoke with hope as smoke began to raise from the pot and across the five siblings as they watched with apprehension and fear over what would happen. Sam coughed as the smoke rose. The Rose and poppet soon disappeared in a shine of bright lights and then bang. The siblings all gasped and moved back before taking deep breaths.
"Okay. Let's tidy all of this up." Sam suggested with an uneasy feeling, his headache starting to get worse as Piper, Prue and Dean began picking up the candles that sat on the floor with Dean sighing with annoyance. Sam watched as Phoebe closed the book. He was about to grab the book when he heard Phoebe suck in a breath. He glanced to her as Phoebe was sucked into a premonition.
Jeremy was running near their home when he suddenly stopped as he was hit with what looked like rose thorns. Jeremy screeched but a few seconds later and he was on the run again.
Phoebe gasped coming out of the premonition as she looked up from the smoking pot of the spell. Sam looked at her with concern.
"Wait, it didn't work." Phoebe called out to the other three that were retreating with a slight fearfulness as the other three turned around. Sam sucked in a panicked gulp of air feeling even more unease by the second, wincing at the pressure in his head. Piper also looked panicked while Dean and Prue looked to the twenty-three year old with stoic looks.
"What?" Piper asked her little sister with disbelief. They had not did all of that not to have Jeremy still kicking. Dean looked to Prue goading her reaction as Sam slumped back thinking of all the things he never got the chance to do. Phoebe stood up.
"The spell. It didn't work." Phoebe repeated to her siblings with even more fear in her eyes as her hands started to quiver. Sam squeezed her ankle, trying to comfort her while Dean glanced to Piper seeing the fear in her brown eyes and knew that he would probably see the same in his eyes.
"How do you know?" Prue asked her youngest sister with confusion as she stepped forward to look closer at her sister, noticing Sam's fearful glances she felt horrible at the thought of not protecting him. Piper and Sam both glanced to one another before looking back to Prue knowing that she must have a plan if anything else.
"When I touched the pot, I had a flash. I saw Jeremy." Phoebe told her eldest sister with fear as she grabbed a hold of Sam's green sleeve pulling his up to stand. Sam glanced to her his hazel eyes reacting with fear while the others tried to process what the youngest female witch was saying. Dean sighed with fear. Something he was all to use too.
"Oh great." Dean spoke sarcastically towards the others trying to use his sarcasm and humor as his one and only defense. Prue gave him a glance before looking over to Phoebe while Phoebe glared a little at Dean. Sam and Piper watched the exchange feeling nothing but helpless.
"You touched the pot and you saw him?" Prue asked her little sister trying to confirm what she already knew. Phoebe nodded her head as she held Sam's shirt sleeve with protectiveness for the youngest Halliwell. Dean bit his lip in fear as Piper looked at Phoebe with fear in her eyes.
"He's on his way here." Phoebe spoke startlingly as the others dropped the candles on the table before running out of the attic. With Phoebe and Sam following from behind.
The fifteen year old felt his headache increase further, he had a strange feeling that running away was impossible. Sam groaned a little, irrational fears filling his body. Prue, ignorant of Sam's pain, ran down to the front door as she opened it with a look back to her siblings.
"Come on." Prue whispered to her brothers and sisters with fear. Prue heard her siblings scream as Prue looked behind herself to find Jeremy. The sisters pulled the boys behind the despite their protest while Prue stepped back putting protective hands in front of her siblings.
"Hello, ladies and boys." Jeremy said to the five witches with sadistic pleasure of the thought of killing the five witches and taking their powers. Prue stepped back carefully making the others move back with her. They were all terrified of what could happen. Sam bit his lip to keep his tears at bay as Dean and Phoebe squeezed his arms.
"Guys, get out of here. Now!" Prue yelled at her four younger siblings with a protective tone for the four. Before Sam or Phoebe could say anything they were dragged up the stairs by Dean and Piper with protectiveness. Prue looked at Jeremy with a more strengthened glance knowing that her siblings were safe, she waved her head up making Jeremy fall into the wall.
"Cool parlor trick, bitch. Yeah, you were always the tough one, weren't you Prue?" Jeremy spoke with a darkening voice as he looked at the young witch with the knife. Prue stepped around the table towards the stairs but he kept coming. Prue growled in anger as she waved her head making Jeremy move back further and harder as he slid to the floor with a groan. Prue let go of a smile before she ran up the stairs.
"Phoebe, you're right. Our powers, they're growing." Phoebe told her youngest sister as she ran into the attic closing the door to try and keep Jeremy away from her siblings. She looked straight to the youngest Halliwell putting a comforting hand to his face trying to comfort the child. She then gave Dean a look as Piper and Phoebe grabbed their Grams' old dresser.
"Put as many things by the door as you can!" Piper called out to her siblings with fear as she put the dresser against the door. Piper then grabbed a wooden plank from the side grabbing it and passing it to Phoebe and Prue with fear as Piper glanced to Dean feeling the fear radiating from him but she also noticed him trying to be strong for their family.
"How long is that gonna be able to keep him out?" Sam yelled out with fear towards his elder siblings as he kept stepping back away from the door and the warlock. The sisters and Dean looked over to the fifteen year old seeing how scared he was.
Prue nodded to Dean as she tried to move the plank in a way that would keep the warlock out. Dean moved over to the kid and placed a hand on the back of the kid's neck like his dad used to do with both him and Sam.
"It's gonna be okay Sammy." Dean whispered to the young boy as he kept his hand on the fifteen year olds neck to keep the boy calm. He was desperate to keep the kid alive. Sam nodded his head before gabbing a chair and passing it to his elder sister.
"You can't keep me out, Prue. My powers are stronger than yours." Jeremy growled at the witches as the five siblings put more things in front of the door. Prue groaned in anger at hearing the demon say that. She had to be stronger, strong enough to protect her family.
While Sam took steps back feeling even more fearful and feeling trapped by the warlock. His headache was becoming impossibly worse as he tried to rub away the tension in his head.
"Yeah, look out." Piper called out as she put the chair that Sam gave her on the dresser with fear. Prue moved away grabbing Sam and Dean and pulling them behind her. Piper and Phoebe walked over pulling the boys behind them over to the middle of the attic away from the door with Prue at the font protectively.
"You don't think a chair can stop Me." the warlock growled as the chair was thrown from the dresser onto the floor. Sam flinched as the chair hit the floor. Phoebe grabbed a hold of his arm trying to calm the boy down. Dean then grabbed a hold of Piper's arm when he noticed her shaking.
"You don't think a dresser can stop me." The warlock growled darker as the dresser began to move away from the door. The siblings then flinched again when the dresser hit the wall as they took another step back. Prue looked to her siblings protectively, desperate to protect them from Jeremy.
"Have you witches figured it out? Nothing, nothing can keep me away." The warlock growled as a board was moved away from the door. Leaving the door on its own.
The brothers and sisters were all locked in fear as the warlock laughed. Piper looked around desperate to get out and noticing Sam was feeling the same.
"What do we do? We're trapped!" Piper gasped in fear as she looked at her siblings. As the door was circled with a bright red light before blowing apart as a warlock stood by the door with a knife in his hands. The siblings all screamed as they stepped back. They were all more than scared now. Prue knew she needed to take charge.
"Come on, we will face him together. Remember the spirit board?" Prue yelled out to her siblings with as much strength as she could as she grabbed hold of her sisters' hands keeping the together. The sisters grabbed hold of the boys trying to keep the altogether. Piper nodded her head as she realized what her big sister was saying.
"The inscription on the back!" Piper asked with confusion over what that would do to help her and her siblings. Piper gripped Dean's arm as Dean grabbed a hold of Sam trying to keep a protective hold on the youngest child. They looked to the warlock in fear, not knowing what else to do as they looked turned to look at one another.
"The power of five will set us free." Prue spoke out as the other four looked around in fear. The warlock growled at the siblings as he sent a ball of fire in a ring in front of the five siblings. The brothers and sisters gasped as they looked around each other trying to be strong for one another.
Jeremy laughed at their fear.
"Come on we've got to stay together." Prue yelled out to her siblings protectively as she pulled onto both her sister's hands, making sure they took their brothers hands as well. Piper and Phoebe nodded as Piper took Dean's hand while Phoebe took Sam's, both boys nodded as they gripped onto one another.
The Power of Five Will Set Us Free
The Power of Five Will Set Us Free
The Power of Five Will Set Us Free
The Power of Five Will Set Us Free
The siblings chanted as the warlock threw something else at the five siblings. Causing the fire to turn into a gust of wind as the sisters continued to chant. They all tried to stay strong for one another. Trying to protect one another.
The Power of Five Will Set Us Free
"I am not the only one." Jeremy growled out to the witches as he tried to get them to stop what they were saying but they didn't stop. Sam looked at Jeremy with nothing but fear and something he had never felt before as Dean held onto his baby brother with protectiveness. Phoebe kept her eyes closed as she rubbed her thumb over Sam's hand.
The Power of Five Will Set Us Free
"I am one of millions." Jeremy continued to cry to the five witches in anger, trying to scare them as they still continued to say the spell together. Piper looked to the warlock with anger knowing that he was the problem in her life while Prue continued to look at him to show him that what he was doing was not going to work on either of them.
The Power of Five Will Set Us Free
"You will never be safe and you will never be freeeeeeeee." Jeremy screamed as he blew up into a million little pieces. All five of the siblings threw their heads back away from the explosions before they turned to look back at the place where Jeremy was once. Dean took a deep breath of fresh air thankful to be alive.
"The Power of five." Prue finally said with a sigh of relief as she looked at her two sister and the at her two brothers. Their hands still intertwined as they looked to were Jeremy had once been. Sam gave out a sigh of thankfulness, his headache retreating. Phoebe smiled at her siblings. She was so proud of them for what they had all done as sisters together.
* *P *D * P*S * P* *
Prue walked out of the Manor to grab the Wednesday paper as she gently shut the door to keep the heat in the house. Walking down the stairs she picked up the paper with a small smile. She always loved the paper. She glanced at the paper unaware of the man
"Good morning." A happy voice called out as Prue looked up to see her old ex Andy with a cup of coffee in hand. Prue looked up to the man and smiled happy to see the man that was a constant joy in her life. Prue stepped towards the inspector with an even brighter smile.
"Hey, this is a surprise." Prue said happily as she stepped down the stairs wanting to be closer to her high school sweetheart. The paper still in her hands, shaking ever so slight. Andy smiled as he walked over to the short haired witch with a need to kiss the brunette but keeping his feelings at bay.
"Yeah, I've been feeling pretty bad about that bad cup of coffee. I just thought I should make it up to you." Andy said to the young witch with humor as he looked into her green eyes. He loved those eyes more than anything. Glancing at the cup of coffee in the man's hands she smirked to him feeling a little flustered over his presence.
"So, you brought me a good cup of coffee." Prue asked with humor as she gave the coffee cup in his hands a pointed look. She smiled as she pointed to it with her hand as well. Andy glanced to the cup with his own smile and then looked back over to Prue.
"What this? No this is mine." Andy told the young brunette with a smile on his lips a he gave the cup his own pointed look. He took of his black sunglasses to let Prue look into his brown eyes with a hopeful smile as Prue looked to him feeling like she was back in high school. She felt the urge to kiss Andy but stopped herself.
"I eh? Just wanted to ask you out for a coffee. Unless of course you're afraid." Andy asked the young woman with humor as he tried to get her to go on the date with him desperately. He knew that the best way was to goad her into it. Prue faltered at her ex-boyfriend's choice of words as she thought over last night.
"Afraid of what?" Prue asked him with a strong confident tone trying to make herself seem less panicked than what she actually was. She looked to her ex with passion underlined with fear. Fearful due to what had just happened to her younger sister. Andy didn't seem to even notice her fear. Or at least notice it in the way that it was meant. He smirked at the younger girl.
"Oh you know having a good time. Stirring up feelings, rekindling the old flame." Andy asked the brunette with a suggesting smirk as his eyes lit up at the very memory of his and Prue's past. The two had had good times in the past and he hoped that they could in the future too. Prue bit the inside of her cheek as she blushed a little.
"Okay that's a good point. We better not." Prue suggested humorlessly to the man that still took her breath away despite the ten years apart. She let the smile cross over her dark features as her stomach filled with butterflies. Andy smirked.
"Okay. How about Friday two o'clock?" Andy spoke in the one go with joy in his tone at the chance of getting back with the oldest Halliwell. At hearing Andy's forwardness Prue froze. She didn't know what to do. Her hesitance shining in her green eyes.
"You hesitated." Andy told her with a frown as Prue looked at him. She didn't know what she could say to him. She couldn't exactly say that she was a witch and that her siblings were witches. She couldn't tell him that she and her siblings fought warlocks, demons and had supernatural powers. But she had to say something to her.
"Yeah but it's not what you think. It's just that my life has got a bit more complicated. I'll call you." Prue suggested to the brown haired man, not having the heart or power to completely reject Andy's advances. They had just been through too much for her to do that. Andy smiled at the suggestion causing Prue's heart to skip a beat. Andy had always managed to make her heart skip.
"Sure. Okay here's my number. Take care Prue." Andy told the witch with loving affection in his dark eyes as he handed his card to the brunette. Prue took the card with a smile on her features, her heart still skipping beats. Something she hoped would never stop when she seen this man.
The brown haired witch then looked away from the card and back up to Andy, whishing that she could stay beside him, but then her thoughts ran back to her siblings, her newfound magic and her responsibilities. She glanced away from the man.
"Bye Andy." Prue responded with a calm and collected voice despite the inner turmoil her lust filled body was going through. She bit her lip a little to stop herself from kissing the man.
Prue glanced backwards at the sounds of the front door opened and then looked back to Andy, knowing that her brothers and sisters were coming down the stairs. The witch smiled as Andy gave a nod and walked away from the five witches.
Piper walked down the stairs with Phoebe and her brothers and blinked with recognition, when her brown eyes found the handsome brown haired man. It had been year since she had seen the man but she knew exactly who the older man was.
"Oh my god it was Andy." Piper commented to the other three with a smile on her face as she continued to make her way towards the oldest Halliwell. Piper's eyes sparkled with adoration for the childhood big brother as she gave a slight wave to the older man.
Dean elbowed his brother a little and directed him towards Prue's high school boyfriend with a smirk while the younger boy rolled his eyes, giving a small wave to Andy, having known the man for years as a second brother and much needed friend.
"I told you I heard a man's voice." Phoebe pointed out to the trio with laughter in her voice as she caressed the cat, in her arms, fur. Her face bright with a smile as she looked to Andy. Rolling her eyes a little when she heard the sounds of Dean sniggering. She glanced to the boy.
All the while neither of the witches noticed the look that was sent towards the cat in Phoebe's arms. It was the same cat from the victim's house. He was almost sure of that, Andy frowned. He had the feeling that life in San Francisco was about to change. The man sighed as he got into his car.
"Yeah probably because you've heard a man's voice more than a hundred times in the past." Dean quirked out to his big sister, with a smirk on his face as he felt three hands hit him over the head and in the arm. Dean rolled his eyes at his siblings while pulling his little brother into a headlock. Prue rolled her eyes as she forced herself to look away from Dean.
Sam fought with his big brother as Phoebe laughed at the two with Piper ignoring them. The older witch glanced to Prue with curiosity in her eyes. She had known Andy from childhood till her teens and knew how much he liked her sister.
"What did he want?" Piper asked the oldest Charmed One with a slightly suggestive tone to her voice, her eyes sparkling with delight for her sister. She had felt so bad for Prue when Andy and she broke up all those years ago. She hoped, despite their newfound magic that the two would go again.
Dean let his brother go as he glanced to Prue with interest in his eyes, wondering if he could use any of this newfound knowledge to his advantage in annoying and prank the oldest Halliwell. Sam glanced to his big brother rolling his eyes while Prue ignored the kid.
"He asked me out." Prue told them, specifically her sisters, with a confused tone of curiosity as she frowned at her own words. Sparing a glance back to where Andy had been parked before turning back to look at her siblings. She gripped onto the card as both Phoebe and Piper looked ready to blow with excitement for her.
Dean frowned. He had known Andy since before he could remember and didn't think that the guy could really be this forward. He sighed, glancing to the departing car before glancing back to his sister while the youngest Halliwell looked slightly bewildered.
"Wow, he works fast. I thought it would take him a while to begin asking you to date." Sam snarked out before he could stop himself from responding. The teen then glanced to his big brother in irritation, knowing that the older boy had been a really bad influence on him.
The three oldest Halliwells glanced to the youngster with raised eyebrows, causing the baby of the family to shrink back while the older boy looked proud of his kid brother for what he had said. It wasn't every day that Sam acted a little more Dean-ish. The kid noticed the look and elbowed him. The two then began hitting one another as Piper rolled her eyes.
"And you said?" Piper yelled out above the bickering brothers with interest in her eyes, as she hoped beyond anything that the older witch would say yes. She needed for her big sister to say yes after what she had been through. The brunette could tell that Phoebe was excited about the answer as well.
Phoebe glanced to her big sister in excitement while Sam frowned in confusion. He had heard all about the Prue's high school sweetheart when the two were together, having only been around five when the two split but, he didn't understand the reaction his sisters were giving one another. He gritted his teeth in annoyance, when he felt his brother again elbow him.
"Well I started to say yes. And then I stopped. I wondered if I could date. I mean can witches date." Prue questioned her siblings with worry in her voice as she wondered how this would change not just her love life, but everything. That thought scared the brown haired witch a little.
"Not only do they date. But they usually get the best guy." Piper responded to her fearful sister with a suggestive tone, making Dean look to his big sister in slight shock. Never in his nineteen years had he seen this side of the brunette.
Sam immediately frowned at his sister's words, worry shivering inside of him at the thought of being a witch and being in a relationship. It was then that he realized what his sister had said.
"Or girls in mine or Dean's case." Sam pointed out to his big sister with necessary need to get it straight to at least Dean that he was into girls. The older boy already annoyed and irritated him about his sex life, something that Dean always felt the need to vocalize.
Dean glanced to his kid brother with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. The kid made it so easy to be picked on by anyone and everyone, although if anyone bar the girls or himself picked on the boy then they would be dead people walking. He might annoy the kid but he was his big brother too.
"What girls?" Dean quirked back to the youngster and barely missed the elbow to the gut. The kid although skinny and scrawny could definitely throw a punch or an elbow to the gut. Dean then again began grabbing the kid's head and ruffling his hair while Prue rolled her eyes.
"You four will not be laughing when this happens to you. Believe me everything will be different now." Prue responded to her siblings, her voice again going serious as she thought of how not only her life, but all of their lives were going to change. Sam was still a high school student for god's sake. She just wished that their Grams was alive to tell them what to do.
Sam looked at his sister with wisdom much too old for a fifteen year old teenager, a feeling of serene came over him. He felt like it was going to be difficult but they'd get through it. Piper nodded her head, silently agreeing with both her brother and Prue.
Dean and Phoebe on the other hand had the feeling that life was going to a lot more fun. The idea of having magical powers excited the two, particularly because they were the tricksters of the family minus Sam, although he was the best person to trick.
"Hopefully they are. My new powers are totally kick ass. They have helped so much already and I've only had them twenty-four hours." Dean commented to his siblings, his tone have serious as he remembered how he had saved his best friend using those powers. He then remembered how he and his siblings may have saved a whole lot more lives by destroying Jeremy. It was awesome!
Phoebe nodded her head in agreement with her little brother. The powers were having a great effect on her karma having just saved a boy, not much older than her baby brother from being killed. It gave her a happy feeling.
"Yeah and at least our lives won't be boring." Phoebe added with excitement.
"But they'll never be the same." Prue commented to her siblings with agitation as she tried to keep a serious tone to the conversation. She knew it was going to be hard and that they would have to stick together, but she also knew that what had happened yesterday had meant something.
Sam nodded along with his sister, his eyes beginning to panic at the thought of never being normal again. He was scared of being attacked again. God, he was never going to be the same old Sam Halliwell ever again. It terrified him.
"God, I am so starting to miss normal. I like normal. We're witches." Sam began to rant with confusion and fear in his eyes as everything that had happened ran through his mind again. Although loving the fact he had saved lives by stopping Jeremy, it scared him.
Prue and Piper looked at one another with apprehension, wanting to find a way that would help the kid from whatever he was feeling. The oldest witch then glanced to Dean.
Dean also noticed the fear and confusion and instead of picking on the kid he put an arm around the boy's shoulder, holding the back of his neck. Green eyes searching the eyes of his sisters as he tried to find a way to make the kid feel better. Phoebe took the hint.
"And that is a bad thing." Phoebe pointed out with a big smile on her face as she gave the boy a slight nudge. He gave a small smile to his sister as he began to stroke the cat's fur.
The others gave a small laugh as the boy ignored them in favor of patting the cat, although he was inwardly questioning himself being a witch. He couldn't moving things with his mind like Prue. He couldn't freeze time, like Piper and Dean and he couldn't see the future like Phoebe. Was he even a witch? That thought terrified him, not that he would tell his brother and sisters.
"No, but it could be a big problem." Prue pointed out to her sister with laughter in her voice as she secretly felt the benefits of having magic. The thrill that she had been through yesterday would forever change the twenty-eight year old. She had saved her brothers, her sisters and any potential victims of that monster. It felt good.
Piper nodded.
The twenty-five year old was in full agreement with her big sister, that life was never going to be the same again and voiced that view.
"Prue's right. What are we going to do?" Piper asked her family with curiosity as she looked at every one of her siblings. She wanted to know how this would change and effect their lives. Being a witch was going to be trying and it was going to be hard for all of them.
Sam nodded his head in agreement with his big sister, wondering how this would affect his life. He was a high school sophomore and he was now a witch. How was this going to affect his life? How was it going to affect his brother and sisters?
"What can't we do?" Phoebe commented with excitement.
It was then that being a witch hit the oldest witch. She began to question their witchy heritage and her need to protect her family. The others ignoring her as she inwardly fought with herself.
"That's a great question Pheebs. I can think of a few things we could do." Dean commented with just as much excitement as his big sister. He loved being able to use his powers and being able to kick ass and save lives. It was exciting. He couldn't wait to see what else life would have for him.
Prue thought over what Phoebe and Dean were saying, comparing that to what Piper had said. It was starting to worry her.
"No, we are going to be careful. We are going to be wise. And we are going to stick together." Prue told her brothers and sisters with a determined and demanding voice as she tried to get that point through to Phoebe and Dean, knowing that Sam and Piper would head the warning.
Dean and Phoebe rolled their eyes at the twenty-eight year old while Sam nodded in agreement with Prue. He wanted his brothers and sisters to be safe. Even if he wasn't a witch like the others, he at least wanted them to stick together and protect one another.
"This should be interesting." Piper commented with a smile on her face wondering how things were going to work.
Prue sided her shoulder into the twenty-five year old as Dean smirked at his sister knowing the double meaning while Sam and Phoebe just rolled their eyes with humor. They all knew that it was going to be an experience that's for sure.
"Tell me about it. We got a whole lot of things coming at us now." Sam responded to his family with a small chirpy smile on his face as he hit Dean's arm before racing up into the house. Dean rolled his eyes before he chased after the boy as the sisters followed behind them with laughter in their eyes at the mischievous brothers.
Prue paused at the door, glancing at it she smiled. Despite knowing that life would forever be different, she knew that this was their destiny, and with that thought the witch glanced to the door, her emotions controlled and it closed own its own as she walked off.
