Penny Halliwell stuck her head up and her eyes widen with delight for what she saw behind her granddaughters. "Hilda and Zelda Spellman, it's so good to see you two again. You both look great and are you still single?"
"Not me," Zelda exclaimed as her hand shot up like a child's would when they wanted to be called on by the teacher. Despite talking directly to Penny, Zelda began gush on her relationship with her latest boyfriend: Willard Kraft, a.k.a. Hilda's EX-boyfriend and Sabrina's high school principle. The fact that it was a fact that Mr. Kraft is Zelda's boyfriend made Sabrina and Hilda wanted to gag the very instant. Even the Halliwell sisters wanted to gag with them. They couldn't even imagine their own mother dating one of their high school teachers, let alone principle.
"Kinda awkward," Prue muttered quietly under her breath.
"I'm going to have to agree on that," Piper agreed.
"Totally gross," Phoebe said a little too loudly. Penny narrowed her eyes at Phoebe but was starting to lose interest when finding out that Zelda's boyfriend was just a mere mortal. When Zelda was finally finished gushing Penny turned back towards her granddaughters.
"Now why did you girls summon me?" Penny asked. All at once everyone began to speak. Penny could barely make out a single sentence except the words that were seemingly repeated: demon…fire…amulet…attacks.
"ONE AT A TIME!" she hollered. The room went silent and Sabrina broke the silence.
"My aunts and I came here for a vacation and to collect an heirloom. We were attacked when we went to claim it and I think I saw something inside of the jewel." Sabrina then stepped forward and approached the elder Halliwell. She held out the amulet to her. "You were friends with Great Aunt Constance, does this ring any bells to you?"
Penny examined the amulet and gasped. "I knew she should have sent it to another dimension," she muttered angrily.
"So you know what this is?" Piper asked.
"Yes, I do," Penny admitted with a bit of reluctance.
"And there are others too? Am I not wrong?" Prue asked. The whole room was now focused on her. "Darryl informed me today of there being attacks on two other women similar to this situation."
"Yes there are three amulets. This is one of them," Penny explained.
"And so what's so magical and dangerous about them?" Phoebe inquired.
"These amulets are not only fashion accessories but also prisons. Each of the gemstones contains a powerful piece of a dark spirit in each of them."
"Who's the dark spirit?" Hilda asked.
"His name is KAOS."
"Sounds like the name of a rockstar or a band," Sabrina commented.
"Hilda, where do we know that name?" Zelda piped up as she looked at her sister.
"I don't know Zelly but you are right it's vaguely familiar," Hilda said bringing her hand to her chin as she tried to think as hard as she could. Then again Zelda was the best thinker and had the better memory so she could just leave it all to her. Sabrina looked over from her aunts to the Halliwell sisters who were busy skimming through a large, thick dark green book.
"You girls can find him on either page 99 or 215," Penny said.
"Here he is," Piper said pointing her finger on it. Now everyone was huddled around the book. The book read that KAOS was a spirit of poisoning the natural elements. With fire he could burn down civilizations, poison the water where it was not only undrinkable but could be acidic as well and then tainting the skies with smoke and pollution. The only way to stop him was to split and seal him within the earth or something made from the earth. Sabrina noted that the drawing of him in the book reminded her of a large, dark smoky cloud only with a face and some sort shape of hair. The book also said he was manipulative in disguises as well.
"Hilda now I remember," Zelda said.
Thank goodness because I don't, Hilda thought.
"So you've encountered him before?" Prue asked.
"Yes when Hilda, Vesta, Ted and I came to the Bay Area Vesta made some friends and they invited us out to a bonfire in Ocean Beach. We snuck out of Great Aunt Constance's house and we were partying and having a good time. And then KAOS came over and tried to suck out our souls. We blacked out and then the next morning we were back in Constance's house too tired to even have breakfast."
"Zelly I think when we woke up it wasn't even breakfast time," Hilda said.
"Oh yes you're right. We woke up around in the late afternoon and ended up doing chores for the rest of the vacation," Zelda said.
"While you girls were passed out Constance and the other two witches battled KAOS and managed to seal him up in the amulets. Then you girls were punished," Penny said.
"Who are the other two witches that helped defeat him?" Piper asked.
"The other two witches are Fiona Warwick and Jennifer Rhodes. I think they still reside here in San Francisco," Penny said.
"Okay so let's look them up in the phone book tomorrow and pay them a visit," Sabrina suggested.
"We've got an easier method Sabrina," Phoebe said.
"Which is?" Sabrina asked.
"Since they're both witches we can just scry for them," Prue explained.
"Actually I'll do you all a favor. I actually know where they both are," Leo piped up.
"So you're stalking cute, little old witches now honey?" Piper teased playfully.
"No Piper, both Fiona and Jennifer were my charges years ago. Sometimes they'll ask for me to fix their TV, radio and of course plumbing," Leo said.
"So where are they?" Prue asked.
"Fiona lives in an apartment on Leavenworth near the Fairmont Hotel and Jennifer lives in a small house out in the Sunset near Ocean Beach," Leo explained.
"Okay then so tomorrow why don't we all split up so we can get the amulets before the demons do. Tonight we should all rest it's been a long day. Piper you'll make the vanquishing potions. Leo you stay and guard her just in case some demons come lurking around. The rest of us split up to find the other two," Prue said.
"I can stay help her make the potions. It is one of my specialties," Zelda said.
"I can always use another hand around the house, literally. And plus we can get the potions done faster," Piper said looking at Zelda with approval.
"Faster, for what exactly? Another lunch date with Dan?" Phoebe asked teasingly.
"Leave my love life out for once Pheebs," Piper said punching her younger sister gently in the arm.
"Well we're gonna go back to the hotel and get some sleep and we can meet you guys here tomorrow," Hilda said.
"Oh let me go get Salem," Sabrina said as she ran out of the attic. All of a sudden a shriek came from downstairs and everyone filed out of the attic.
"Sabrina!" Zelda yelled.
"Sabrina, are you okay honey!" Hilda called out.
"I'm in the kitchen," Sabrina said.
Everyone then headed to the kitchen. The scene they now saw made Piper want to faint or throw a fit. Sabrina stood by the table next to Salem who had escaped his bonds and was lying down on the table. His belly was swollen and little gurgles were coming from his lazily-opened mouth. Everyone also noticed the half-eaten chocolate cake on the side.
"Salem you didn't," Zelda said sternly while crossing her arms.
"And this is why we are never invited back to house parties," Hilda said with a sigh.
"It's okay. The cake wasn't that important," Phoebe said.
"Actually that was dessert I was going to bring to Dan tomorrow morning!" Piper whined as she stomped her foot. Leo couldn't help but secretly smile but he managed to hold in some laughter.
"I'm sorry for this Piper. Tomorrow when I come over to help make the potions I'll help make you a new dessert as well," Zelda said.
"But you can barely cook…" Sabrina started to say before Zelda clamped a hand over her mouth. Now Sabrina crossed her arms in annoyance.
"Sure, yeah. I think right now we should just all call it a night and regroup tomorrow like Prue said," Piper said.
The women wished each other pleasant dreams before the Spellmans and a pregnant-looking Salem snapped their fingers and disappeared from plain sight.
