Charmed: A Fifth Sister/Adopted Daughter

7. The Battle and End Of Episode 1

A few minutes later, they get home and Phoebe sees there's a message on the answering machine. Prue put Dorinda down and went to help her take a bath. Phoebe pressed the play button on the machine and the message played. "Prue, it's Roger. I've decided to let you come back to work. Seriously, lets talk." Phoebe shook her head and Prue came down the stairs with a cat in her arms.

"Well, Piper's definitely not home unless she's turned into a cat." She said and the said cat jumped out of her arms.

"How'd the cat get in?"

"I don't know. Someone must have left a window open. Um, did Piper leave a message?"

"She's probably out with Jeremy. Roger called."

"Yeah, I heard."

The door opens and Piper speaks. "Prue! Phoebe!"

"In here!" Phoebe called. Piper closes the door and walks out to them. Phoebe frowns. "Piper?"

"Oh, my, God. What is it? What's wrong?" Prue asked as Dorinda came down in pajamas.

"Quick! Lock the doors, check the windows! We don't have a lot of time." Piper replied. "Phoebe, in The Book Of Shadows, did it say anything about how to get rid of a..."

"Warlock?"

"Oh, my, God." Prue said and picked Dorinda up.

Phoebe took her and the older two went to check the doors and windows. Piper was looking out for Jeremy when she turned around meeting Prue. "I'm gonna call the cops."

"And tell them what? That we're witches? That some FREAK beyond comprehension is trying to kill us? Even if the cops DID come, they would be no match for Jeremy and we'd be next."

"I found the answer." Phoebe said walking down with the book. "It's our only hope. Come on!"

The two didn't hesitate and ran up the stairs after her.

"Ok." Prue started. "We've put the nine candles anointed with oils and spices in a circle."

"Wait." Piper said. "I only count eight."

"Oh! You forgot this one." Phoebe said showing her a birthday candle.

"A birthday candle?" Piper asked disbelievingly.

"I guess Grams was low on witch supplies."

"Alright. Next we need the poppet." Prue said.

"Got it." Piper said picking it up.

"Alright. You're set. Ready to cast the spell?"

"First, I'll make it stronger." She said and pushed the thorns of a rose through the poppet. "Your love will whither and depart from my life and my heart." She said throwing it into the burning cauldron. "Let me be, Jeremy. And go away forever. Ok. The spell is complete."

"Lets hope it works." Prue said.

Phoebe went to lift the cauldron when she got a premonition. Coming out of it, she gasped. "Wait! It didn't work!"

The two older sisters turned to face her. "What?" Piper asked scared.

"The spell. It didn't work!"

"How do you know?" Prue asked.

Dorinda ran to Prue terrified. "When I touched the pot, I had a flash. I saw Jeremy." Phoebe replied.

"You touched the pot and you SAW him?" Prue asked a bit disbelievingly.

"He's on his way here!" She said and they turned to run down the stairs.

Dorinda hung onto Prue's pant leg as she opened the front door. "AAHH!" Phoebe screamed seeing Jeremy.
