Wake Me Up

After Paige is put under a sleeping curse by an upper level demon, which can only be undone by saying a power of three spell, Piper and Phoebe must bring someone back from their past to the future with them to restore the power of three and say the spell that will save Paige. Hm... Who could that someone possibly be?

Chapter 1. It started with a curse

Set in 2009. Everything in this time is pretty much the same as how the show left it. All the sisters are finally happy and married with children. Life for the charmed ones has been relatively routine and boring… until now. (muahahaha)

Paige heard the familiar drilling sound in her ears of a charge in need. She immediately orbed to where she needed to be to find a huge black-robed demon with his back towards her chanting over her charge in the middle of a dark alley.

"Hey", she shouted instinctively to get the demon's attention off of her charge and on her, which, unfortunately for Paige, worked. When the demon turned around, Paige felt a shiver go down her spine. The demons eyes turned midnight black and as soon as Paige locked eyes with him, she found that she was frozen as he began to chant over her.

The frightened charge, displaying none of the courage that her Whitelighter had shown, ran as fast as she could screaming for help only to have passerby's stare at her like a mad woman. Paige knew in that moment that help was not coming anytime soon and started to feel her body go numb and her mind blackout as the demon finished his chant. He shimmered out with a smug smile after one last look at Paige's unconscious form lying on the cold concrete surface.

Back at the manor, Leo and Piper were enjoying what had now become a typical evening in the Halliwell house. In the kitchen, Piper had just finished washing the last dish from the delicious meal she had prepared for her family while Leo was sitting in the living room listening, contently, to his three angelic children play around the house. He was mortal now, but ever since the Ultimate Battle, there was never really a time where he needed his powers. He looked over into the kitchen and stared in admiration at his wife. She had a smile on her face that made Leo smile too, like an involuntary reflex. He loved seeing his wife happy and after all that they had been through, He knew no one deserved to be happy more than she did. How could Leo have known that their moment of peaceful bliss was about to come to screeching halt?

Little 4 year old Chris came running into the kitchen up to his mother crying. Piper bent down to pick up and comfort her distraught son saying, "What's wrong sweetie?"

"Auntie Paige, I can sense her, something wrong," mumbled Chris, with a frown on his face.

Wyatt may have been the more powerful child when it came to their active witch powers, but Chris was definitely the more sensitive one when it came to their whitelighter side, Piper thought. Of course there was still a lot to learn about her youngest child, Melinda, who had yet to develop all of her powers. Piper loved all her children equally, but Chris always held a special place in her heart. Maybe it was the fact that she shared an understanding with him because he was the middle child, or it could be the fact that she still missed the Chris she came to know and love when he traveled back in time to save his brother from turning evil, or it could just be those eyes which were like looking into the eyes of her late sister, Prue, who she still longed to see, but after so many years, had almost completely given up hope of ever getting the chance to be reunited with her older sister again.

Piper would still go up to attic from time to time and attempt to summon her sister's spirit, but would never dare let Phoebe or Paige know what she was doing to spare them the heartbreaking disappointment that would follow when only silence and the small flickering of candles would fill the attic after the spell was finished.

"Where exactly is your Aunt Paige, Chris? Can you orb mommy to her?" Within seconds Piper was surrounded in blue orbs and found herself in the dark alley where Paige still lay unconscious on the ground.

"Oh my God!" exclaimed Piper as she ran towards her baby sister to feel for a pulse. She visibly relaxed when she felt the strong bounding sensation under her fingertips.

"Chris, honey, orb us all back home please." Chris did as he was told, and just as quickly as they appeared, they vanished from the alley leaving no trace of their presence behind.

Once they arrived at the manor, Piper laid Paige down on the sofa in the living room and called out for Coop to bring Phoebe.

In a pink glow, Phoebe appeared and took in the scene around her. What she saw made her heart drop. "Paige! Is she alive? Oh God, Piper please tell me she's alive."

"She's alive Phoebe; I just can't wake her up for some reason," Piper replied.

"Oh great, it's Snow White all over again," Phoebe sighed.

"No. This is something different. Something stronger," said Piper.

"Have you tired letting the boys heal her?" Phoebe suggested.

"Not yet. Boys! Mommy needs your help," Piper called out, and they soon orbed right in front of her. "Can you try and heal your Auntie Paige so she'll wake up?" They both nodded and placed their hands over their sleeping aunt, but no glow was emanating out their hands signaling that whatever was wrong with Paige, couldn't be fixed by healing.

"Well what do we do now?" asked Phoebe. It had been so long since their last demon attack that it actually took Piper a minute to think about what to do next. What did we always turn to when we needed some answers? Suddenly the answer hit her all at once. "Book of Shadows."
