No Rest for the Witches
Summery: The Charmed Ones are three sisters in the Warren Line. Together they are the most powerful witches the world has ever seen. However, they are still mortal and still grow old. Piper Halliwell-Wyatt, Phoebe Hart and Paige Matthews have realised that they are too old to continue to fight demons and need to let their children to their job as the Charmed Ones, but there are not three sister witches in the family that can take on that role.
This is the story of how they overcome that problem.
Chapter 1
The two 17-year-old witches stood in the attic, looking down at the Book of Shadows that still stood proud on it’s podium. Both girls were going to be 18 in a matter of days, well one before the other, but still it was just a matter of days and neither could wait. It wasn’t just because they were going to turn 18, it was because Patti and Pru both knew that on that day they, as well as their cousin Hen, would receive the power to harness the Power of Three. They would become The Power of Three Cousins.
Patti often thought about this day and of the conversation that she had had with her mother two years ago about what this day would bring.
“Hi, mom!” Patti smiled towards Phoebe Hart, who was happily typing away at her computer in her study, “Another column?”
“No, actually a spell.” Phoebe looked up to her daughter with a smile.
“A spell? Is there demon trouble? Have they ended the truce?” Patti had been warned as a small child about the demon truce that Phoebe was sure would be broken sooner rather than later.
“No, not yet,” Phoebe shook her head as she watched her eldest daughter make herself comfortable in the chair at the side of her study, “Not that I know of anyway. This is just for me and your aunts.”
“Personal gain? You’ve always told me against that!”
“No personal gain, a spell that’s needed for…well…for you actually.”
“Me?” Patti questioned her mother with narrowing eyes.
“You, Pru and Hen.” Phoebe nodded her head.
“What’s going on with the three of us?” Patti was a little worried at the way her mom was talking. Why would she have mentioned three of them? What was this spell going to do?
“I’m not really allowed to say, Patti.”
“I don’t care, what’s going on?”
“It’s nothing too serious, don’t worry, and it’s not going to happen for a while. Piper doesn’t want it to happen for a while.”
“What to happen for a while?”
“Well,” Phoebe sighed, knowing that her and her sisters were supposed to tell their children this together, but Phoebe was never any good at keeping secrets, “It’s to place the ability to use the Power of Three into you three, rather than us.”
“Why?” Patti questioned, “And how is that possible? Only the Charmed Ones can do that.”
“Yes, but eventually, your aunts and I will get too old to go running around after demons and innocents. Now, it would normally be you and your sisters, after all the Charmed Ones are three sisters. However, because Patience can only be a Cupid after the agreement we had with The Elders so your father could become mortal, we’ve had to do it this way.”
“So because The Elders are idiots, they don’t have a new set of Charmed Ones, so have had to find another way around it since otherwise all the demons in the world would come after all the innocents they have ever been after?” Patti questioned with a roll of her eyes, trust The Elders to mess up somewhere, “So, when will this happen?”
“In the next few years, Patti.”
And it was happening now. The two cousins stood looking at the Book of Shadows with matching grins. In two days time, they and their cousin Hen would become the Power of Three Cousins and neither could wait.
