The Power of Four: Charmed Again [Part One]

Ch 3 Section 4

Later on...

Phoebe quickly put out a small fire with a fire extinguisher in the kitchen as Piper ran into the living room and put one out on the chair.

"Living room's clear."

"Conservatory's clear too." Pacey ran in and put down her fire extinguisher, "You know this would've been so much easier with my powers and in jeans."

"Yeah. Yeah."

"Kitchens clear. Why do you think she left so suddenly?" Phoebe asked as she put down her fire extinguisher, "What, did trashing our house become too boring for her?"

"She probably realised we don't have the Prince. Great." Piper scoffed, "It's not like we're having enough problems with Paige. We have to deal with her past life, too?"

"Hey, at least she wasn't personally gunning for you." Pacey winked, "That's a plus."

"Oh, sweetie." Phoebe moved her so she could see the back of her arm and grimaced, "She got you pretty good."

"It's okay. It happens. I'll just have Le-" Leo orbed in just then, "o heal me."

"Okay, I found out about the Prince." He looked around the manor, then to the disheveled girls in confusion, "What the hell happened here?"

Phoebe motioned to Pacey's arm, "Heal first."

"Paige's past life almost killed us." He did so as Piper explained, "That's what happened here."

"What?"

"Yeah. Paige, the evil Enchantress, same soul, different lifetime. She came through some magical portal looking for Prince Carjack."

"So i'm guessing that makes you..."

"Lady Julia... you guessed right."

"Okay, well, you have to stop The Enchantress. You can't let her find him. According to the Elders, if she conceives his heir, dark magic will rule his kingdom forever. History will be rewritten. Your future..."

"Will be screwed." Piper finished, "The world will plunge into darkness. Yadda, yadda, yadda!"

"Okay, that's not helping." Phoebe turned to Leo, "So if we vanquish Past Paige, don't we risk vanquishing our Paige too?"

"Possibly."

"Well then we can't vanquish her." Pacey dismissed, "What about binding her powers? Well, the powers she stole and her powers?"

"We'll bind her powers and send her back in time, hopefully a virgin." Piper nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's get some candles. We have a potion to concoct."

At Paige's apartment...

"I still can't believe that you exist, that you're actually real." Paige said from the couch, with the Prince kneeling in front of her, "I always wanted to save you from the evil Enchantress so you could live happily ever after."

"Be with me and I shall. Come with me. Live in my castle as my princess."

Paige heaved out a breath, "What is it with everyone wanting me to move in with them?"

"I can give you all the riches you desire. I can take you away from all of this."

"As tempting as that is..." She shook her head, "I know it's just the spell talking."

"But isn't that what true love is?" He moved to sit down next to her, "Falling under someone's spell? Just tell me what you want and I'll give it to you. I swear."
