A/N: This was fun to write, I got to delve into Glenn's past, which is completely AU (Glenn was my favourite male character in Charmed- I was gutted when he was only in, like, three episodes, so he's going to play an important role in this story). Next up, we catch up with Prue and Freebie- I mean Phoebe! ;)

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot.

Evil and the Charmed Ones
Chapter Six – Fun and frustration

Piper Halliwell was not a witch to be trifled with.

If one of her many minions had turned to Good, she'd have no problem in destroying him, slowly and painfully. Her sister on the other hand, was a whole different problem. How could she convince Paige to see that Evil was the only way?

A foreign emotion suddenly stuck Piper; it took her a few moments to figure out what it was. Then it hit her: sadness. Piper was sad that her sister was no longer with her, the sister who she'd spent nearly every day with for the past 21 years.

Piper and Paige had always had a close relationship. Growing up, Prue had always been the mother figure to Paige, Phoebe, the friend and Piper was Paige's confidante.

It was Piper who Paige went to when she first had her period, and it was Piper who consoled Paige when Glenn and her had broken up for a few days.

Another wave of misery hit her.

She's not supposed to leave us, we need her…she needs us!

Closing her eyes, Piper tried to focus on something that didn't reinforce her human side.

Slowly, the feelings passed and Piper's mouth curled into a cruel smirk.

Knowing exactly where she could let off some steam, Piper shimmered to a young Firestarter's house, she had been ordered by the Source to watch the young girl and try to establish away to persuade her to the path of Evil.

The girl, I'll leave, but the Whitelighter…? Well…a girl's 'gotta have some fun, after all.

"This is driving me crazy! How long has it been?"

Andy bit back an annoyed remark.

It was bad enough that Paige had left shortly after they'd got her back, but hearing Glenn's constant growls of frustrations was really pissing him off.

"Glenn, it's been six minutes since you last asked me, so it's been two hours and nine minutes since she left!"

Glenn shot his friend an agitated look. "I'm sorry, I can't help that I'm out of mind with worry for her- I love her!" With that, the radio sparked and started to smoke.

Andy swore loudly and stormed over to Glenn. "Stop being such a jackass! You don't think Leo and I care about her? She's like a sister to me and I love her too!"

Glenn's mouth fell open in shock, Andy rarely got angry.

In fact, I think the last time I saw Andy this mad, were the weeks after my mum was murdered, after I started misusing my powers.

"I'm so sorry, Andy. It's just…" he trailed off, unable to vocalise his feelings about Paige leaving.

Andy's features softened at the broken look on Glenn's face. He clapped a hand on Glenn's shoulder and pulled him into a hug.

Andy and Glenn became a lot closer after the sisters' left and Leo was already their Whitelighter. At 16, Glenn lost his best friend, girlfriend and three girls who acted as his sisters, all in one night. And then he suffered another intense loss.

It had been hard on Andy and Leo too, unbelievably hard, but Leo had to put his charge's first and Andy was in his early 20's, he could deal better.

Glenn's parents couldn't handle him, they had always found magic extremely frightening and, though they adored Paige, they always wished their son could be normal. After Paige left, they had an angry, hurt and lonely teenage Energy Wielder on their hands. Three months after the sisters' went to the Underworld, Glenn moved in with Andy.

Leo had spoken with Glenn's parents and explained that without a constant magical presence with him, their son was certain to loose control of his powers. His parents readily agreed, they loved their son but his magic was becoming more and more erratic each day.

Then, four days after Glenn moved out of his parents' house, two demons attacked. They'd caught the scent of an untamed Energy Wielder and decided to turn him to Evil.

When they arrived, they found no such Energy Wielder, so they tortured the middle aged female till she told them her son had moved into a house with a more mature witch, in an attempt to train him. Knowing that they had no chance against a disciplined Energy Wielder they dispatched the two mortals.

Unbeknownst to the demons, they only killed Judy Belland; Michael had a concussion and several broken bones. He gave Glenn the house and his inheritance and moved to Florida.

Glenn receives a card from his father every birthday and Christmas, always containing money and always with no return address.

After that day, Glenn went off the rails. He rebelled at school and was suspended for fighting twice. In Glenn's defence, both times, it was an obnoxious senior who had been making rude comments about Paige, saying things like she'd got pregnant and had to leave school.

He started drinking heavily and began using his powers for personal gain. Without Paige and his parents, he felt like his life had fallen apart.

Eventually, Andy helped straighten Glenn out; they both came to a decision that they would fight hard as Good witches and try to save the sisters. Andy acted as an elder brother to Glenn and they had been close friends ever since.

Glenn was embarrassed to find tears streaking down his cheeks. Wiping them away with his sleeve, he patted Andy on the back and pulled away.

Andy sadly smiled at his surrogate brother, "I know this is hard on you, but you need to know I'm in this with you and so is Leo," he gestured towards the ceiling where Leo had been called away by the Elders. "Paige needs time, if she was in the Underworld, the Elders would have told Leo straight away and he would have come to us. But maybe we could –"

Andy stopped suddenly at the ringing of the doorbell, he rushed to answer it, thinking that it could be Paige, but Glenn pushed past him, obviously having had the same thought.
