It's better to have loved...

This is a new story I just wrote. It takes place right before the Charmed Ones discover Billie. Just the first part though. Part two coming soon.


Paige ran down the stairs, paper clutched in her hand. Piper went flying across the room, screaming. She crashed into a table lamp and lay motionless on the floor. Paige ran into the living room and could see Phoebe. She was in mid-air, kicking at the demon. She landed and bounded over to where Paige was kneeling. She and Phoebe grabbed Piper’s hands and chanted.
“Claws of fear we must sever,
Demon you are gone forever!”
The demon exploded. Paige and Phoebe brought Piper over to the couch. After a few minutes, she started to wake up.
“Can someone please tell me what happened?” Piper asked. Paige could tell from her voice that she was annoyed. “Well?” asked Phoebe. “What was that thing?” Paige shrugged. “I just looked for a powerful spell to vanquish the thing.” Phoebe sighed. “Yeah but did you have to use the spell for the Harpy? You could have created one,” she said. She walked in to the conservatory to straighten up. Paige and Piper followed her. “Yeah well I was trying to save you two from being vanquished!” Paige threw up her hands. “This is the thanks I get?” “Yeah well you’re preaching to the choir, sister,” said Piper wryly. “There have been times we’ve gotten yelled at by Prue when we messed up.” Phoebe picked up a vase that hadn’t been broken and put it on one of the end tables near the wicker chairs. “Well, I have to get back to the newspaper or Ask Phoebe won’t make it into tonight’s edition!” Piper followed her, Paige on her heels. “Uh, Phoebe? You’ve got demon blood on that jacket. You might wanna change.” Phoebe whirled around and looked at her favorite cotton jacket. It had a pink cloth rose on the breast. Everything looked fine-except for the huge stain of dark green on one of the pockets. “Ugh! Why can’t we vanquish a demon without the messy clean up?” Piper smirked. “Because our job isn’t supposed to be easy,” she replied.
She poured herself a glass of tea. “Well I have a new charge to go deal with so I’ll be back in a little while,” said Paige. Both Paige and Phoebe headed for the kitchen door. “Hey! What about me? I have to take the kids…” “That reminds me, Piper could you check on that demon for us?” Phoebe asked. Paige nodded, obviously agreeing with Phoebe. “Thanks!” They both said. They left before Piper could get a word in. “Oh sure, no problem. You’re welcome!” Piper yelled after them.


Phoebe rushed into the office. Her assistant stood up, papers in her hands. “You’ve got tons of fan mail today and at least 50 letters from readers. Also, Piper called to check in. She said she did what you asked her to do and is going to drop the kids off,” her assistant said. They were in front of Phoebe’s office door.
“Thanks. I have the column written almost, but ask Elise if she wants any of those newer letters in there. You can put my fan mail in my box,” she said. She smiled at her assistant and entered her office. Her phone was in the middle of ringing. Phoebe ran over and picked it up just in time. “Hello?” she said. “Phoebe? It’s Paige. I’m stuck in traffic on my way to my new charge so can you tell Piper I’ll be late tonight?” “Wait, I thought you were orbing,” Phoebe said, surprised. “Well it’s a new charge and I don’t want to scare him. Better safe than sorry,” she said. Phoebe nodded even though Paige couldn’t see her. “Ok well see you at home,” she replied. She hung up and sat down at her computer to finish typing her column.

Part two finally!


Suddenly, Phoebe's IM popped up. A person with the username Valentine74 wrote a message saying 'hi.' Phoebe smiled. She had been talking to this guy for a week or two. He was a fan of her column, and they had been flirting a little. Phoebe didn't think too much of it, since she didn't know if he was really who he said he was. 'Hello,' she typed. 'Do you like going on dates?' he asked. 'It depends on how i feel about the guy,' Phoebe responded. 'How do you feel about me?' he asked. 'I think you're very nice,' she typed. 'Do you want to go on a date with me?' he asked. Phoebe raised one eyebrow. 'Sure. where should we meet?' she asked. 'At the Rose Cafe at noon tomorrow,' he replied. 'See you then Phoebe responded. She signed off. A voice in her head told her it wasn't a good idea, but she shrugged it off. What's the harm? she thought.
The next day, Phoebe got ready for her date. She wore a silky black skirt and a turquoise top with black high heels and red lipstick. She got to the cafe early and sat down at one of the nearest tables so that her date could see her. A moment later, a tall brown haired man with brown eyes walked over to her. "Phoebe right?" he asked. Phoebe smiled. "Yep. That's me." He sat down. "I'm Kyle," he said. He held out his hand. Phoebe shook it and smiled. "So you're a fan of my column?

Meanwhile, at the manor, Paige was upstairs mixing a potion. She threw one of the ingredients in and the potion exploded in her face. "Dammit!" she said angrily. Piper walked in. "Paige, what are you doing?" she asked. "My new charge is taking on every demon she can find. So I'm making her a potion to defend herself in case she's in trouble. But it's not working," Paige said angrily. She flipped through the book and started another potion. "Ok well Phoebe is on a lunch date and I'm going to pick up the kids so will you be ok here by yourself?" Paige nodded. "Ok well I'll be back soon," said Piper. She turned and walked out.

Phoebe laughed. Kyle was turning out to be a great date. He was funny and smart and very sweet. They both finished their meals and stood up. "So, would you want to come back to my place for a while?" Phoebe looked at him for a minute, thinking. "Okay, that's fine," she said. They walked over tohis car and got in. When they were at his house, he led Phoebe inside and motioned for her to sit on the couch. He sat beside her. Suddenly, he leaned in and kissed Phoebe. Before she knew it, everythinhg went black...

[~:*Destiny*:~]

[Cara Halliwell]

Everyone, thank you for the comments! Here is part three!


Phoebe slowly opened her eyes. She was lying on a bed in a dark room. She sat up slowly. What happened? she thought. The last thing she remembered was kissing Kyle at his house. Phoebe looked down and gasped. She was dressed in a blood red silk dress. Jewels were sewn into the material and sparkled like diamonds. She got up to try and find a way out, but did not find anything. "Leo! Paige! Someone!" she called. She knew no one would hear her, but she tried anyway. She was filled with fear and stress. How would she ever get home? Would she be stuck here forever? She sat back down on the bed with her head in her hands, trying to figure out how to escape.

"Leo!" Piper called. She was frantic. "LEO!" she called again. Phoebe hadn't come home from her date yet, and it was almost midnight. Paige tried to calm Piper down. "Piper, it's ok. We'll just scry for her." "What if that doesn't work? What if she's hurt or worse?" Piper snapped. Right before she could call Leo for a third time, he orbed in. "Sorry honey." "Nevermind that," Piper interrupted. "Phoebe is missing. She isn't answering her cell, and we haven't had any luck scrying for her," said Piper. "I'll see if I can sense her," said Leo. He closed his eyes. After a minute or two, he opened them. He looked confused. "I can't sense her anywhere."We're screwed," said Paige. "No we're not. Phoebe isn't dead. There's only one place she could be where Leo wouldn't sense her." A look of realization came over Paige's face. "The Underworld?" she asked. "Exactly," said Piper. She walked over to Paige. "Let's go," she said. Paige stood up. "Ok," she said. She took Piper's hand and orbed out.

"Hello, Phoebe," said a voice. Phoebe looked up and saw Kyle standing there. Phoebe stood up. "What are you doing here?" she asked suspiciously. He laughed. "I'm here for you, Phoebe. After we're married, you'll bear a child and I will raise it to be the next source," he said. He let out an evil laugh. "And I've made sure that your sisters can't find us," he said. He smirked and turned to walk out. "See you at the ceremony," he said. He shimmered out. "LEO!" Phoebe called. "HELP ME SOMEONE!"

Paige and Piper orbed in and found themselves in a dark cave. They crouched low and walked toward a light. "Go fetch Phoebe," said a voice. "We shall begin the ceremony very soon," said the voice. "What ceremony?" Paige whispered to Piper. "Whatever it is, it can't be good," said Piper. They backed away and thought. "We should wait until they bring Phoebe, that way we can grab her and run," said Paige. "Good idea," said Piper. They went back and waited. Minutes later, a demon dragged Phoebe into the light. "Ok, now!" Paige whispered. She and Piper rushed forward. Before they could reach Phoebe, two other demons shimmered in front of them and grabbed them.

[~B@MeLiSsA30@B~]

Wow. I love this update. I'm glad to know Phoebe is alright. But to bare a child with Kyle. Not a good idea. I hope Piper & Paige can escape & rescue Pheebs.

[Cara Halliwell]

"Paige! Orb!" screamed Piper. Paige tried, but nothing happened. "My powers aren't working!" Piper gasped. "Our powers are down when we're in the Underworld. Dammit!" said Piper angrily. Phoebe was shoved up to the altar. The demon held her in place so she wouldn't escape. "Let her go!" yelled Paige. Kyle laughed. "There is nothing you can do, witches!" Piper suddenly thought of an idea.
She motioned to Paige. "Ready?" she asked. Paige immeadiately understood and nodded. "One, two, THREE!" They both stomped as hard as possible on the demons holding them. Piper turned and side-kicked her demon, while Paige thrust her palm into the face of her demon. They rushed over to the demon holding Phoebe. They threw him off and knocked him out cold. "NO! Phoebe is mine!" He held up his hands as if to fire at them. They ducked just in time. "Anyone have a spell handy?" asked Piper. "I do! I had time to think of one!" said Phoebe.
"This demon standing in our midst,
let him now be blown to bits!"
Kyle yelled. "NOOOOOO!" Then in one massive explosion, he burst into little tiny pieces. "Short and sweet," said Piper. Phoebe laughed. "Thanks for the help you guys," she said. "Yeah no problem. At least now you won't say I'm the only demon magnet anymore," said Piper. "Ok let's get out of here now," said Paige. She managed to orb all three of them using all the power she had.
When they were at the manor, Phoebe fell onto the couch. "What a fight that was," she said, exhausted. "I'll say," said Paige. Leo walked in. "Well I see you found Phoebe," he said. "You ladies earned a night out. How about P3?" he suggested. "I'm in," said Piper. "Not me," said Phoebe and Paige at the same time. They laughed and walked up to bed.
