Totally Au but based on season 4 as well. Might go through the rest of the series. All depends on if I wanna take it that far. Well here's the first chapter. Enjoy.
Walking through the kitchen with a few grocery bags in both hands. Piper noticed Phoebe was sitting at the kitchen table. She also noticed. that Prue was no where around the kitchen though." Hey, where's Prue?" Piper asked as she walked towards the kitchen island set the bags down.
" Oh, I can give you one guess." Phoebe answered as she continued to flip through the magazine she's been looking through.
" Oh please don't tell me, she's up in the attic again?" Piper asked.cringed a little. For two months now Prue has been trying to track down Shax. The Source's most powerful assassin, she's been doing ever since Dr. Griffin was killed and her and Piper came back to life, thanks to their white lighter and Piper's husband Leo.
" Yup, and she's been up there since this morning." Phoebe said as she looked up from her magazine.
Piper sighs as she shook her head." Prue is gonna get herself killed if she doesn't stop with this obsession of trying to find Shax. She said as she started to put the groceries away. after she was done Piper walked towards Phoebe as she thought of something.
" So, she hasn't been down here since this morning?" Piper asked as she was trying to figure something out.
" Nope, the moment she woke up and after her shower. Prue went straight up to the attic and before you ask 314 magazine did call and asked for Prue. But I covered for her though."
" What did you tell her boss?"
" I just told him that Prue hasn't been feeling well lately, but of course he did mention that if Prue doesn't get back to work soon. She can kiss her career good bye."
Piper sighs again. " Come on let's talk to our sister and try to put some sense into her head." She said as she turned around and heading out the kitchen and upstairs towards the attic with Phoebe following right behind her.
Opening the attic door Piper and Phoebe slowly walked in as they noticed Prue was still scrying with a crystal.
" Um Prue?" Piper asked nervously.
" What?" Prue asked as she never looking up from the map as she kept watching the crystal moving and back forth over the map, which it has been doing for the past few hours.
" Don't you think it's time to give up already?"
" I thought we already had this conversation." Prue answered as she was already getting frustrated and and angry at the same time. She still can't believe that her sisters are so willing to just give up, when she knows that Shax is gonna surface again. Prue just can't give up and let him hurt another innocent. Prue refuses to lose another innocent the same way she lost Dr. Griffins a few months ago.
" All we are saying is that. You been obsessed with trying to find Shax, for months Prue. I mean you haven't even been to work for the past couple of weeks. " Phoebe said as she watched the crystal still moving across the map.
Prue sighs deeply as she stopped scrying and drops her hand." Ever since that day, when we finally woke up and came back to life, and finding Dr. Griffins dead hanging over our window. And when Leo couldn't bring him back, that's when I knew I had to find Shax and vanquish him for good."
" How, do you even know that Shax might even attack again? " Piper asked.
" I don't Piper. But I can't sit back and wait for him to attack and kill another innocent again. I can't give up. Not now." Prue answered as she looked up at her two sisters." I really need you guys. I can't vanquish Shax without you two."
Piper looked at Phoebe for a moment as she sighs with an eye roll." Alright, we will help you vanquish Shax. But if we all end up in the after life together. I'm never speaking to the two of you ever again." Piper said as she points her index finger towards Prue and Phoebe before heading back down stairs to start dinner before Leo gets home.
Paige Matthews was sitting at her desk at the Bay Area Child Service finishing typing up documents for her Boss Mr.Codwell. Paige has been working at the Bay area Child Service for awhile now and she still hasn't been promoted to Social worker yet and she can't help but feel that her boss hates her for some reason.
" It's printing." Paige called out as she suddenly heard her cell ringing. A smile spread across her face as she noticed it was her boyfriend Shane calling her. They haven't been dating for very long. But she likes him and she can feel they're getting serious already.
" Hey you." Paige greeted him as soon as she answered his call.
" Hey there, I was just calling to see if your free tonight."
" Hmm, I don't know Shane. I might be free tonight. Are you asking me out on a date tonight? " Paige asked with a grin as she would love to spend her Friday night with her boyfriend instead of staying home all night.
" Well, of course I am, anywhere you wanna go tonight."
" Anywhere I wanna go tonight huh? Hmmm, well there's this great night club called P3." Paige suggested with a shrug. For months now Paige has been spending her weekends over at the club. She's not sure why she's spending so much time at the night club. But she feels she's connected to the owner and her sisters some how.
" P3 sounds perfect. How about I pick you up around 8 O'clock?"
Paige nods her head." I will see you at 8 O'clock then. Bye Shane." Paige ended the call with a smile as she set her cell down. Paige then sighs with an eye roll as soon as she heard her boss calling her into his office.
" Coming. " Paige answered as she got up from her seat and headed towards his office.
While Both Prue and Phoebe were sitting at the bar with their sparkling water while Piper was working behind the bar serving drinks for every paterons that's in P3. Phoebe glanced over at Prue as she noticed her oldest sister hasn't said two words for the last five minutes.
" Prue?"
" Hmm?" Prue responded as she looked at Phoebe for a moment.
" Hey, you doing okay?" Phoebe asked with concern and worry as she hates seeing Prue like this and there's not a damn thing she could about it.
Prue shrugs her shoulders as she took another drink of her sparkling water." Yeah, Pheebs I'm good. Why?"
" Well, because you haven't really said anything since we got here and your usually not this quiet. Not unless you have something on your mind Prue. So, what's up? Still thinking about Shax again?"
Prue sighs nodding her head as she looks down for a moment." I know he's out there somewhere Phoebe and I also know that you and Piper think that I've become Obsessed with wanting to find Shax and vanquish him, and your probably right. Vanquishing Shax won't bring Dr. Griffins back. But I'm not just doing it for him though, I am doing it for me and Piper as well."
" Prue..."
" Phoebe, Piper and I almost died the second time after the time resetted and yeah we were lucky both times because of Leo, and honestly if you and Leo including Cole didn't escape the underworld when you guys did. Both Piper and I wouldn't be here, and you and I wouldn't be having this conversation right now." Prue said as she looked at, Phoebe.
Phoebe knew having Tempus the demon reset time was a huge risk, but it was the risk Phoebe had to take. Finding out about Piper being the one who was dead at the time by the look on Leo's face broke her heart. She knew she had to save Piper by getting Tempus the demon to reset time. When Cole told her and Leo that Prue and Piper was attacked by Shax and Dr. Griffins was dead. She knew she had to get out of the underworld and fast.
" Prue I get Vanquishing Shax is important to you and trust me on this, I want to vanquish him too and I know Piper wants the same thing. But until he actually resurface again. There's nothing we can do." Phoebe said honestly as she looks at Prue for a moment.
Prue looks down for a moment as she nods her head in agreement." Alright, we won't do anything until Shax resurface." Prue isn't the type of person who just sits back and waits for a demon or warlock to attack. She's been that way ever since her and her sister found out they were witches. But of course she also knew Phoebe was right. There's nothing they can do not until Shax attacks again. Prue just hopes that they'll get the chance to vanquish him before he kills all three of them this time.
" Can I be seen?" The Oracle asked the source as she had something very important to tell him. Something that might peak the Source's interest.
" Have you found Balthazar yet?"
" No, but I might have something more important than Balthazar."
The source rolled his eyes as he made the Oracle appear in front of him by the wave of his hand." Leave Balthazar to the bounty hunters. What's so important that you have to tell me?"
" It's about the Charmed ones."
" What about them?"
" Well, I know you haven't successfully killed them when their white lighter healed them the second time around and when Balthazar helped his witch escape the underworld. " The Oracle started to explain as she ran her index finger against her crystal ball.
" I'm about to loose my patients with you Oracle. So if you have something to tell me. I suggest you get to it now." The source said in a deathly tone as he glares at the Oracle.
" It's just that I'm afraid that you might not be able to truly kill all three of them this time." The Oracle also knows that he's waiting for the right time to send his demon Shax to ultimately kill the Charmed ones for good this time.
" Why? What did you see? " The source asked as he was already getting worried already.
" I saw another woman who could possibly be the fourth sister. She could actually be the fourth Charmed one." The Oracle explained as she rubs her crystal ball and a young woman appears in her crystal ball dancing in P3.
" But that's impossible though. Everyone in the magical community knows that The Charmed ones are the power of three. Not the power of four." The source said as he couldn't understand how another human being can be the fourth sister.. another charmed one.
" Well, that doesn't matter. Because according to my Crystal ball. Her life seems to be short lived." The Oracle said with a smirk and and evil chuckle.
The source watches Paige as he knew he had to do something and quick. This time he's not dealing with the power of three anymore, this time he's dealing with the power of four and that's not good. If all four of the sisters come together, they would be more powerful than him and he can't have that. He has to find a way to stop it from happening.
