-Phoebe-
Prue and I are sitting in her Jeep why she holds the wheel tight, her jaw clenched and her veins popping, Jesus Christ I wish it was Paige here and not Prue, Paige would be more open to the idea but Prue's like a god damn wild bull and was not happy at all."Prue, you can't just ignore this, our lives are going to take a serious turn and if you can't handle this then we are all in jeprody" I say with a coldness in my voice, "no Phoebe, I thought you grew up, your eighteen and you believe in silly old fairy tales for god sakes" hurt hits me but I hide it "Prue, you saw what happened with your own eyes, unless i'm Houdini then I don't think so and scarier things than fairies will be coming after us!" I say bitterly, she looks at me for a second "what?" I fiddle with my skin, not really ready for how mad she's getting at this point.
"Well in the book of shadows it showed these three women fighting some sorts of Warlocks, they are bad witches, but most witches are good, warlocks are witches who have turned evil and they have one goal in life:to kill good witches " Prue snorts "evil fighting evil, that's a twist" irritated I continue "well, as I said if you were listening, they were fighting warlocks and they were good witches and well warlocks unfortunately look like regular people so they could be anyone, anywhere and I think as long as we were in the dark about our powers and then now that we know we aren't safe"
-Paige-
"Where are my little sisters!" I ask out loud, I am worried, and I have a very strong sense that something strange and wicked is happening to our lives ever since last night and call it big sister prerogative but I don't think its safe for them to be alone right the phone rings and I sprint over to it and put it against my ear, "Hello?" I ask in a tone of worry down the line,"Paige, hey its me, whats up?" my baby sister asks, I almost laugh from the happiness that surrounds me "freaking out about my little sisters, today I was almost mugged!" I almost see her shocked face, "what, are you okay, i'm coming..." I cut her off, "no, i'm okay really, I fought him off" I hear Piper pause for a moment "you fought him off? how the hell did you do do that?" she asks a little stunned, I can't tell her but I can't lie either."Piper, by any chance did anything out the...ordinary happen to you?" I raise my eye brows when I hear her say "you could say that" oh no, "sweetie, what happened" I ask, concern dripping from every word.
"you'll think i'm crazy Paige" I shake my head, "trust me, I won't" I her sigh
"Well, in my audition today I didn't fully complete my meal and well I put my hands and up and suddenly it was if time stopped, he wouldn't move, as if he was having a seizure except he doesn't move, how freaky is that" suspicion starts to creep into me, "well, that does sound crazy but today I fought off the ass hole by blasting him backwards with some sought of blue rays, he didn't die, but I was so freaked out I ran, and I saw it happen" the moment replays in my head but I try push it back.
"Thats really weird, Phoebe said some things about being witches and having powers this morning, maybe you should call her, I'm with Jeremy right now, I can come home and..." hmm, witches aye, would explain a lot, "no honey, have a good time, just be safe" I tell her, still wondering, "oh, okay, i'll be home at eight, it depends how well this night goes, he's showing me a view or something, alright well bye, I love you" I smile and look around, "I love you too, have fun" I hang up and sigh.
I look at our contacts list and scan for Prue since Phoebe doesn't have a cell, she doesn't answer, I try call 3 more times and worry goes full blast about my little sister, she always answers.
I make my way up the attic stairs to distract myself for the familiar worry I am feeling.I debate with myself for a moment, do I really believe I am a witch? I exhale and walk over to the book of shadows and see its been left on a hazel book stand.I stand behind the stand and grip the books edges and flip half the book open revealing a page with a weird looking person on has dark red skin and pointy ears, like an elf, he has black tribal markings around his face and he has razor Sharpe teeth and the image sends my blood cold, "Balthazar.." I read out.
-Prue-
We walk into the aisle in the chemist, "The aspirin should be in here if I remember correctly" I say in a thinking tone, "there's chamomile tea as well, that's known to cure head aches" I laugh sarcastically, "not this one it doesn't" I reply coldly.
She doesn't answer for a minute, she fiddles with her sling."I'm not afraid of our powers,I mean every family inherits something right?" I give her a look, "yeah, money, antiques,a strong disposition, that's what normal families inherit Phoebe" I reply, still not willing to give in to this nonsense, how could I have not known such a thing, how could it be real!.
"Who wants to be normal when we can be special Prue?" I grumble, she is really start to get on my nerves now, "I want to be normal, have you seen any aspirin yet? this is aisle three right?" she continues, completely ignoring what I just .
"Well, we can't changed whats happened, we can't undo destiney" I try to stay calm, "I still can't see aspirin, can you?" I ask, my voice having a harsh edge to it.
"I see chamomile tea" alright, something snaps inside of me."Look,I have just found out that i'm a witch, that my sisters are witches and that we have apparently unleashed all types of evil and evil that will apparently come looking for us and try to kill us so excuse me if i'm not exactly in a homeopathic mood right now!" I snap vulgarly, now very peeved at the youngest.I expect her to keep her mouth but no, instead she says "then move your head ache from your mind" like, what the hell, can she be anymore annoying,I look at her angrily,but suddenly a bottle of aspirin fly s off the shelf and into my hand, I look at, shocked, "you move things when your upset" I look at her with a distrusting look, "this is ridiculous, have a cast on your arm not your head!" I spit, she smirks making the anger drill into me more.
"You don't believe me" her arms drop and her cute little smile falters and it makes me feel guilty, she's just being a gullible kid, I shouldn't be so mean, I sigh, "of coarse I don't believe you" I say truthfully.
"Ro-ger!" more bottles hit the floor but I don't take notice, I know I did that but I try ignore it,what is she doing?."Now lets talk about dad" no, she didn't just say his name.
"He's dead" I say in an emotionless voice.
"No, he's moved from new York but he's very much alive" she smiles, stop it!."Not to me he isn't, he died the day he left mum and us" I glare at the teenager with furious blue eyes, she knows this is a touchy subject for me so why does she continually do this?.
"What are you talking about, he's always been a major pusher for you Prue, ever since dad left us without any parents, why?" my blood boils over and ive never felt so mad yet so relieve some how and I could feel something within me, like how you can feel a sneeze forming before it comes."Phoebe stop! don't call him that, he's not our dad!" I yell, but she proceeds, "your mad he's alive, your mad I ran away looking for him last year and your mad that grams and mom lied to us for so many years" I tremble from sheer anger, "stop!" she then gets me more anger full "dad,dad,dad,dad,dad,dad,dad,dad!" I suddenly burst like a canon and suddenly all the bottles on the shelves around us all in a clatter and I feel all my anger leave as I take deep breathes.
"Feel better?" my little sister asks, she's good at making me mad, "lots" I reply with a grin.
"The book said our powers would grow" she says, I smirk, "to what?" we start laughing together.
-Piper-
"Here we are" Jeremy says, I curtsy him with a giggle, we are in a dusty old room and an elevator faces us, its a very creepy place, something doesn't feel right about it."I don't care how great the view is, i'm not going in there" I say stubbornly to my boy friend, "c,mon, we won't stay here for long, ive got a surprise for you" I nod and walk into the elevator shaft.
He presses a button and the elevator starts to move with a croak and it rocks a bit,"the surprise is so great you'll tell Paige, Prue, and Phoebe the moment you get in the door, you will forget all about freezing chef Moore today" the first word that comes to mind is 'stalker' how could he have known about the audition,I never told him."Hey, I never told you about that!" I declare in an uneasy way.
"Whoops!" he pulls out a Sharpe looking knife and I gasp and step back, "what is that!" I say frantically, feeling fear swirl inside of me.
He smirks wickedly, "your surprise babe" I feel tears spring to my eyes, shaking, "Jeremy, stop, your scaring me, i'm serious!" I declare.
"I am too,see, ive been waiting for this moment for 4 months now, I known for quite some time that when that when that old witch croaked your powers would be released, powers that would reveal themselves as soon as Phoebe begun to get curious about everything" I tremble in fear and step back when suddenly a realization hits me without warning.
"It was you who killed all those women wasn't it" I say quietly, he scowls, "not women, witches!" he bellows menacingly.
"WHY!" I yell, his hand then suddenly has little flames hovering over the tips of his fingers and I cover my mouth now terrified, oh crap, i'm gonna die!.
"Because it was the only way I could get their powers" his face suddenly contorts into a deranged manner that gets me more freaked out, who I been dating for the past few months!."AND NOW I WANT YOURS!" he growls, I scream as he lunges at me with the knife and just as he's about to end my twenty one years of living for good I flick my hands and he stops completely.
Relief overcomes my emotions, "alright Piper, calm down, now how do I get out of here?" I ask myself and look for anything to save me, so I have a power and i'm a witch and so does Paige Phoebe and Prue, lovely.I then see a big enough gap between the elevator and the next floor and I mentally cheer.
I climb up and drag myself but suddenly two strong hands grab me and I squeal, I see a piece of wood and I grab it and spin around and clock him over the head with it and his eyes roll back into his head and he falls back, his head smashes against the wall and he knocks out, phew!.I get my body up the rest of the way and dart away.
-Paige-
I have looked at the book of shadows and learnt about our powers, pretty mind boggling but it explains the weird happenings, but I am now more worried than ever, non of my sisters have contacted more or turned up and now that we have Demons and warlocks after us its more dangerous.I pace around in the room until the door opens and Prue walks through it and Phoebe."Where the hell have you two been! I was worried sick, its now dark out, what were you thinking!" I demand in an angry manner at my little siblings, they gulp and then I see Phoebe's blue cast and the sling around it."Squirt, what happened, are you alright sweet heart?" I ask my baby sister and I cup her cheeks and scan her for anymore injuries."Great, we have to explain to her now too" Prue mutters, I look at her and pull Phoebe closer, "explain what?" I question groans, "we have powers and-" Phoebe starts off,"oh no honeys,I already know,I was almost mugged today and these powerful rays could concussive blast made the thug fly into a tree so I asked Piper and she said she stopped time so why I out and worried about you two I looked at the book of shadows and here I am" Phoebe's jaw drops, "you what!, I have lousy premonitions, Prue can move stuff with her damn mind, Piper can freeze time and you can blast people backwards, so totally unfair!" I chuckle at my little sister and play with a piece of her soft hair and I wrap my arm over Prue's shoulder and kiss her temple, glad there both alive and okay.
Suddenly the door bursts open and a petrified looking Piper comes in wide eyed and pale and I get worried, "Piper?" I ask and I see her grab Phoebe's hands, "Phoebe did it say in the book how to kill..."
"Warlock?" Phoebe finishes for her, Prue and I look at our younger sisters in shock, "oh no"
(A/N have a break, get a cuppa tea or a snack, then continue reading)
~*~
"Lock all the doors and windows, we don't have much time" Piper says, Prue looks at her, "i'm calling the cops" she states and starts to walk over to the phone."And tell them what? that we're witches and some freak beyond comprehension is trying to kill us? and besides even if the police did come we'd be no match for Jeremy, he's too powerful, we'd be his next victims!" Piper panics,I sigh, feeling defeated.
Phoebe then appears at the top of the stairs and jumps, "ive got the answer, c,mon!" I grab Prue's hand and we all run up stairs and clamber into the attic.
Soon enough we are all sitting in a circle "Right, so we've got nine candles anointed with oil and spices in the circle" I say, "wait, I only count eight!" Piper freaks, "yeah, you forgot this one" Phoebe says holding up a little blue candle.
"A birthday candle?" Prue says with her eye brow arched, "I guess grams was running low on witch supplies" Phoebe shrugs.
"Alright, we need a poppet" I say looking holds up the little white man made out of plaster and as we call it a poppet, "okay" Phoebe says and lights the candle, she places it inside the pot and we look at the book for more instructions.
"Right, we're set, get ready to cast the spell" I instruct my younger sisters,"okay,but let me make it stronger" Prue says and places a red rose with the poppet and puts it in the pot."Your love with wither and depart, from my life and from my heart, let me be Jeremy go away forever" Piper finishes saying and we watch as the poppet and the rose burn together."Lets hope it works" I whisper.
Jeremy walks down the footpath and suddenly he starts to scream in pain as rose thorns start to tear through his skin and flesh and his evil blood drops onto the footpath and he tries to stagger away but he falls to his knee's feeling as if there is a blazing fire in his human meat, cooking him from the knows its those pesky witches, the charmed ones, this won't stop him though, oh no, he had more kills to do.
-Phoebe-
I touch the pot and suddenly i'm hit with a premonition,I gasp and close my eyes and let the premonition guide me to saving my sisters.I snap my eyes open, "guys, it didn't work!" I shriek!, Piper looks at me, fear now clear in her brown eyes, "what?" she asks me, not believing it."The spell, it didn't work, i'm sorry" I tell my older sister,Paige looks at me "how do you know?" Prue crosses her arms,wanting to know too, "well, when I touched the pot I had a vision,I saw Jeremy" I inform my looks taken back, "you touched the pot and you saw him?" she asks more herself than me.I gulp, not admitting that i'm terrified, mostly that i'm going to loose the only family I have left.
"He's on his way here" I say, all of them suddenly look very astonished and fear cuts through them and we all sprint downstairs.I almost trip but we make it, Paige opens the door and Jeremy is in deep cuts and he is not and I scream why Prue and Paige just look at him,"Hello ladies" he grins, Paige steps in front of us as Piper and I step backwards in fear.
Prue uses her power and throws Jeremy into the wall,Paige doubles it and bright blue rays shoot from her hands and hit Jeremy, sending him into the dining table, wait, I swear the rays were supposed to be red?.
"Prue,Piper, Phoebe, out of here now!" Paige yells, Piper doesn't hesitate to run past me, but I stay there, still fear stricken."Squirt, go, now!" Paige says to me in authority, Prue runs over to me and grabs my hand and drags me to the attic.
"Nice parlor trick bitch, you were always the tough one weren't you Prue?" Jeremy says,Paige deals with him, "hey, leave my little sister alone you circus rat!" Paige snaps and sends another concussive blast at the warlock and he knocks out and Paige suddenly materializes into bright blue lights and I widen my eyes and she appears next to me, "whoa" she stumbles as she appears next to me in the same lights."Paige, what the heck was that!" I demand, "Phoebe, you were right, our powers are growing!" Prue says and she sends a table against the door and Piper,Paige and I all put stuff against the door to prevent Jeremy from coming in."C,mon, he is probably awake now!" Paige says.
Suddenly Jeremy voice rings from the other side of the attic door,"take me now Paige, my powers are stronger than yours" I look at Prue for moral support and we all back up to the middle of the attic, all lost in what we're supposed to do."C,mon, I expected a little more...challenge then a chair witches" the table starts to move and the fear gets stronger and I grab paiges arm and she stands more in front than us, willing to protect her younger sisters even though she knew she's not strong enough alone to kill Jeremy is a very brave thing to the door explodes and Piper squeezes my arm,"what do we do, we're trapped!" Prue asks nobody, Paige looks at us.
"C,mon, we'll face it together, remember the spirit board?" Paige says, then I remember seeing it saying 'the power of four will remain forever more'
Jeremy smirks as he gets closer, Paige half body shields us,"the power of four will remain forever more, it'll save us" Paige says, I nod and look at my older a hot fire circles us and I jump and feel terrified, we all grabs Prues hand so she grabs mine and I grab Pipers.
Suddenly we all start to chant over the commotion, "the power of four will remain forever more!" a strong gush of wind nearly blows us over but we continue chanting and Jeremy starts to catch on fire and he screams, "the power of four will remain forever more!" we all scream for the third time and Jeremy screams out and Piper covers me protectively as his flesh goes everywhere but dissaperes in a puff of looks at us all worriedly "the power of four" she says.
-Prue-
I walk outside to grab the paper but see Andy already has it in his hands and a cup of coffee,"Good morning" he smiles at me, I fix my skirt, "ah, hey, this is a surprise" I say to my old friend,"I feel really bad about not really hanging around yesterday and I know your life's support is coffee, so hear you go" I smile appreciatively, "thanks, is that the only reason your here?" I ask taking the coffee and paper from the shakes his head,"no, I got a call from the neighbors, complaining about the noise, now you wouldn't of been having a wild party without me now would you have Prue?" he grins, I roll my eyes, "no, we haven't" he nods, "well, there is one other thing I was wondering if well your not afraid.." I look at him in suspicion, "afraid of what?".
"Oh you know, stirring up feelings, rethinking old memories, rekindling flames.." oh, I see what he's getting at."Hmm, good point, better not" he laughs, "Friday eight o'clock quake?, your hesitating, why?" oh great, "well, my life's gotten a little complicated can I call you" he nods, "sure" and gives me his card, "take care Prue" I smile, "bye Andy" I watch as a sadness grips my heart turning him down like that.
Paige,Piper, and Phoebe all stand outside, I laugh knowing that they were listening,Phoebe holds a grayish cat with a collar in under in her drapes her arm over my shoulder, "good job little sis, you almost got a date".I smile,"witches can't date Paige" she nods and Phoebe and Piper stand next to us."Little Phoebe here was on a date today actually, he is a spunk" I grin and nudge my youngest sister, "ooh, really!" Paige and Piper say in cue,"shut up!" Phoebe blushes, "back to being witches!" she protests.
"Well, at least our lives won't be boring" Phoebe claims with a shrug,"but they'll never be the same" I say,"and that's a bad thing?" Phoebe asks, we all look at her, "you are fresh out of high school Missy, don't be saying things like that" Paige says, "yeah, but it won't be a bad thing but a big problem, with the whole being witches thing" Piper adds, I smile at my younger sister."What are we going to do now?" I ask, Paige lets out a breath and we all look at our oldest sister, waiting for her usual wise assistance.
"We are going to be careful, we're gonna be wise and we're gonna stick together" Paige says wisely and takes her arm off my shoulder
"should be interesting" Piper says, "hmm" Phoebe I chorus, we laugh together and they all go through the door, I guess where keeping the i'm the last one in I see the door is wide open, I smile and move my index finger and the door starts to shut and I walk into the manor with a pleased smile.
