Part 1
A tear as fell, as a teenage girl placed a bunch of flowers on her mother's grave. Why did you have to take her away? What did she do to deserve it? She thought to herself.
Today was the 10th anniversary marking her death. After her mum died, her dad was hardly at home, working overtime, but on rare occasions he stayed at home. She mainly spent all of her time at her aunt's place. They are so cool she thought. The girl took a last glance at her mother's grave before running her fingers, tracing her name 'Prudence Trudeau' carved on the head stone and left...
***********************************
Part 2
Piper married to Leo and has a daughter, Melinda, 14 years old. She looks exactly like Piper when she was younger and has the power of freezing time. But after Prue died Piper stripped her power of her.
Phoebe married to another witch called Tim Johnson and have twins both 13 years old.
Andrew (or commonly known as AJ) has blond hair and blue eyes. Has the power of telekinesis since both Phoebe and Tim have powers.
Diane (DJ) has light blond hair with brown eyes. Has the power of premonition. Very active and talkative.
Again, after Prue's death, Phoebe also stripped both AJ's and DJ's powers.
Piper drove, as Faith sat at the back staring at the views as it passed by. She wasn't thinking anything else than her mother. Since Prue died, Phoebe and Piper stopped using their powers and protecting innocents. In fact they stopped vanquishing demons, warlocks etc and lead a normal life.
Phoebe noticed how quiet Faith was and tried starting a conversation but Faith was distancing herself.
"So, how are things between you and Steven?" Phoebe asked.
"It's okay", Faith replied. Faith has gone out with Steven for 1 month now. Omigod. I have a date with him today! Damn! She thought to herself as Phoebe mentioned his name.
"So Faith where do you wanna go?" asked Piper
"Um..home I guess. Where's dad? Shouldn't he be here with us?" she asked.
Piper and Phoebe stared at each other. Andy hasn't said anything about where he was.
At the cemetery
Andy laid a bunch of flower on the footstep of Prue's grave, noticing also another bunch of flowers. Pheebs, Piper and Faith have probably been here already, he thought to himself.
"I miss you so much Prue," he said as he started to weep. As he remembered how he first found Prue, raped and brutally bashed. She was still hanging onto life, but just scarcely. He tried to get rid of the image out of his head, but couldn't.
"I wish you were here now, to see how beautifully Faith has grown. Just like you when you were younger."
Usually, he would sit and talk to Prue as if she was alive for the whole entire day.
"I don't know what to do. I haven't known what I should do ever since you died Prue. Oh Prue!" as he cried harder. He had regretted not raising Faith properly, for all Andy tried to do was run away. Run away , that the fact that Prue had died.
Suddenly, behind a tree, a warlock blinked out of nowhere, and struck Andy at the back of his head.
"Hehehee, now for the girl", he said as he and Andy suddenly disappeared.

Part 3
NB: Faith's POV.
I came home as usual to an empty house. Where was dad? Surely he would have told either Aunt Piper or Aunt Phoebe. Strange. I didn't feel like going out, so I rang Steven.
Ring ring.
"Hello?" answered Steven
"Hey Steven." I said.
"Hey Faith. Ready for the movies? What was the movie you wanted to watch again?"
"Im sorry Steven, I can't come. Um..ah sick."
"Oh I see." He said, sounding disappointed.
"Do you want me to come over to your house then?" he asked
"Nah, thanks anyway. I gotta go bye"
"Bye, and I hope you feel better tomorrow"
And I hung up the phone.
I went to my room and lay on my bed and dug out the family album. There were heaps of photos taken of mum and I when I was younger. I then stopped when I came across a photo taken of mum and I. that was the last photo I ever took with her. It was at my 5th birthday, two days before she was found dead. In an alleyway brutally bashed and wounded. Dad was the one that found her lying there. She was barely alive. But died a few hours later in hospital. I wouldn't go to school, wouldn't eat but stayed in my room where I felt safe. I still remember that day. A tear fell down onto the photo as I closed the album and lay down on my bed.
Clouds before me, as I entered a beautiful place. And there on a swing was.. No it couldn't be possibly. But there sitting on the swing was in fact mum! She got up and I ran straight into her arms.
"Mum! I missed you so much!!!" I said.
"I have as well. You have grown up into a beautiful girl," she said as she studied my face.
"Faith, I have came to you. To warn you that your dad and you will be in great danger."
"How can I be in danger?"
"Bye honey. I love you and tell your father as well," she said as she began to fade away.
"Mum!" I screamed waking myself from that dream. I found myself covered with perspiration. I sighed. It was all a dream. Or was it? Was mum trying to warn me that I was in fact in danger? Should I listen to the warning? This isnt the first time mum had came to me in my dreams. I wonder if she ever came to dad in his dream.
***********************************
Part 4
Faith looked at her clock. Wow! I have slept most of the day! Dad should be home by now. Faith came down the stairs, hungrily, and quickly reheated some lasagna and quickly gulped it down, leaving some in the oven for her dad.
Nine and Andy still haven't came home. He usually comes home now, or if he's eating out, dad would've phone.
Faith dialed her dad's cellphone. It was engaged. She called her Aunt Piper.
"Hello?"
"Hi Mel, its Faith. Could I speak to your mum please?"
"Sure, Faith. How was your date with Steve?"
"I told him I was sick. I didn't feel well," Faith lied.
"Hello?"
"Aunt Piper, have dad rang you or anything? His still not home. I'm getting worried."
"No, honey, he hasn't."
"Oh, ok, bye."
Ding-dong.
Faith opened the door to find her Aunt Phoebe.
"Hi honey. How are you doing?" asked Phoebe.
"I'm doing alright. Do you happen to know where dad is?"
"I'm sorry, I don't,"
"Aunt Phoebe, I want to tell you something. Promise you won't think I'm crazy or something?"
"I promise sweetie," said Phoebe as they both sat on the couch.
Faith told her about the dream, and that her mother had shown up in it and warned her about near hazard.
"Does it sound weird?"
"No honey it doesn't," and with that, Phoebe called Piper and Piper came over as soon as possible.
Phoebe repeated what Faith had told to Piper. Piper was first dubious and thought it was ludicrous, but then thought twice. If they is demon, warlocks, ghosts, why not a warning in a dream?
Suddenly, a brick smashed right through the window, just missing Faith.
"What the heck?!" said Faith as she noticed a note attached to the brick.
We have you father. Come to us to Smithy's Factory.</i>
Piper and Phoebe saw the note and quickly drove to the factory.
Factory
Andy was tied up onto a chair, bound and gagged.
"What are we gonna do with him?"
"A trade, the girl for him."
"What's so important about the girl?"
"She's the first born or the first born of the charmed one. Making her as strong as her mother."
***********************************
Part 5
Phoebe, Piper and Faith arrived at the factory as fast as they could and busted into the factory. it was pitch black. they couldnt see anything except a few streaks of the moonlight struggling feebly between the cracks between the wall.
"Look there's dad!!!! I could see him!!!!" cried Faith as she ran towards Andy.
"Faith look out!" Phoebe shouted as a tall dark man came up behind Faith.
Faith turned around in time and kicked him right in the groin. He winced in pain. Faith stuck her tongue out at him.
"Dad, dad?" she lightly tapped Andy on his cheeks. He groaned and winced as they have bashed him up.
Phoebe and Piper ran up to them.
"Nice kick you've got there Faith. Where did u learn it from???"
"Buffy I guess." As she laughed.
The guy got up again and Piper froze him.
"What the??" cried Faith as she up to him and flicked his nose.
"This is a dream right?? I mean he's not moving!"
They exchanged glances.
"Well, im sorry Phoebe! But he was gonna attack her again!"
"Well, honey, we're..."said Phoebe as a loud bang was heard on the door.
***********************************
Part 6
"Where is she?" his voice boomed just as the warlock unfroze. PIper and Phoebe noticed it and quickly grabbed Faith and ran into a closed door.
"Ouch!" cried Piper.
"DOuble ouchie,"cried Phoebe.
"She's over there. But how can we get to her? SHe's been protected by the other two charmed ones!" he whisphered
"DIstract them! I dont know! Dont u have a brain of your own???" he sneered.
"Alright! sheesh!" as his eyes started to glow red.
"Come here my child," he said to Faith as she levitated her to him.
"What the heck?!" she said as she floated in the air.
"Who are you?"she demanded
"The problem is who are you? I mean here you are, clueless as you are. And your thinking, what does this have to do with me?" He stopped as smoke started to fill the air.
"What do you mean?" she said with a hint of fear in her voice.
"i mean havent your mother told you? oh yea, your mother died. well, i guess i'll have to tell you then. you're a......." he looked over at Phoebe and Piper backed away at the corner.
"witch."
***********************************
Part 7
the warlock was gonna strike Piper and Phoebe when Prue appeared in her spirit form.
"Nobody hurts my sisters," Prue said as she flung him across the room and then she flung the other one with Faith across the room.
Faith fell down hard on the floor with a loud thud.
"Mom? Is that you? But how can this be?" Faith screamed and thought this was insane. <i>Am i really one?
Prue helped Piper and Phoebe (who wre both crying with tears of joy) up and hugged them. She then turned to a very confused Faith and hugged her.
"Mom, Im so confused! Could you please tell me what's going on?" she said as she started to cry.
"In a second honey. We have *coughs* the u know whats first." said Prue as they did the Power of Three spell. They both disappeared before Faith's very own eyes. She then quickly ran to Andy and untied him and ungagged him.
"Dad????"
"Yea?" he said as he stirred. He came across Prue and his eyes opened as wide as saucers.
"Prue!" he cried as he ran to her. He hugged her and gave her a long kiss.
"Andy! Well..I see you have kept our secret as a secret." Prue said as she hugged all of them.
"Well...um..i guess it's time to open up the family secret again. This is gonna be hard," said Prue.
She turned to Faith face to face. Blue locked into blue.
"Honey, we're witches." she said as Faith couldn't take it anymore and fainted.
***********************************
Epilogue
It was a few months later when the secret was all revealed to the next generation. They all took it really well and enjoyed their powers and practiced and practiced to get the hang of it. After that little incident, they realized they couldn't escape their destiny after all. Andy had taken a few weeks off to get to know Faith a bit more and they even took a vacation.
All wells ends well!!!!
