6. Charmed and Armed
Chapter 6
Charmed and Armed
“Hurry up Phoebe!” Paige yelled from downstairs. Phoebe was rushing through the pages of the Book of Shadows in the attic, trying to find a spell to vanquish a pesky demon. They tried to make up a spell, but it didn't work, so she looked to the book. The pages suddenly started flipping on its own.
“Never mind!” she heard Paige call as she was ascending the stairs entering the attic with Chris and a very pregnant Piper in tow.
“Piper, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in Magic School.” Phoebe said.
“I was needed and I came, why is the book doing that?” Piper said.
“I don't know, I was looking for a spell and it just started doing this.” The book settled.
“Well what does it say?” Chris asked. Phoebe quickly read it to her self.
“According to this, there use to be a very powerful society. One that consisted of Wizards, Slayers and Charmed Witches, each having their own unique way of living and handling evil.” Phoebe explained, “Because of their differences each split off to do their own thing.
“All of our demons and Elders and Whitelighters, all we know about magic, is only one third of the whole picture.”
“Yeah, I remember hearing something like that in the future.” Chris said.
“You do?” Piper asked.
“Yeah and I'm sure the Elders know something about this too.”
“Phoebe was leaning against the book when she got a premonition; it was more of an audio one then a visual.

“Now that both a Witch and a Wizard from the Wizarding world are now involved with the Slayers and Watchers, and with the apocalypse coming, we might want to think of joining forces with them.”
~^~^~^~^
“What did you see?” Piper asked.
“More like heard. Someone was saying something about the Wizarding World and the Slayers joining forces to fight in the apocalypse.”
“Leo!” Piper called to the ceiling. White orbs appeared in the room and formed the Elder Leo.
“Piper, what are you doing here??” he asked.
“Had to help vanquish a demon but look at this,” she wobbled over to the book, “someone is trying to tell us something.” Leo read what was in the book.
“I also had a premonition of sorts, the other two, the Wizards and the Slayers are going to join together.”
Leo looked very serious, “I need to talk to the other Elders, but I'll be back as soon as I can, this is very serious.” Leo orbed out.

It was an hour later and everyone was at the magic school. Chris was playing with Wyatt while the sisters were looking in books looking for any information about these other societies.
Leo orbed in with Gideon, the head master of the magic school and a fellow Elder.
“What did you find out?” Piper asked.
“There is major evil stirring, for all three societies. The Elders, even though decided long ago to separate from the other societies, have been keeping tabs on the others. All three of us have faced a powerful evil in the past few years.” Leo explained.
“I've heard nothing in the underworld.” Chris said.
“Maybe it's because it is being keep secret, even in the underworld.” Gideon suggested, “Maybe it is something so big that it is unknown even in the underworld.”
“How is that even possible?” Paige asked.
“The other Elders suggest you do some investigation about all this where this is all happening.” Leo said.
“And where is that?” Phoebe asked.
“London.”
“England?” Paige asked.
“Yes.”
“What about Piper?” Phoebe asked.
“What about me, I'm not sitting this out. If this is something big, we are going to need the power of three.” Piper defended herself.
“You're right Piper, but we are going to need a bigger power of three. The power of all three different societies, if it is going to be as big as the Elders suspect it's going to be.” Leo said.
