The prophecy of the Charmed Ones had been in the Halliwell family for as long as any of it's modern members could remember. Never in her wildest dreams did Patty Halliwell think that she would bring the children into the world that would one day become the Charmed Ones. However, things don't always turn out as one plans. Patty gave birth to a fourth child. But that wasn't the biggest concern. The little girl was half witch, and half whitelighter. A very rare combination - and, a huge no no to boot. So she was given up for adoption.
Penny and Patty both knew the importance of their little girls, and from the time they were old enough to attend pre-school, they were attending at Magic School. They socialized with other witches, and their lives were centered around magic, and learning to control it. However, Patty - and especially Victor, the girls' father, made sure they understood the mortal world as much as any mortal child should. Victor didn't want his girls growing up in a separate world, and then be unable to live in the mortal world once their time in Magic School was over.
Patty, sadly, did not make it long enough to see Prue out of kindergarten. She died battling a water demon, and the eldest girl witnessed the tragic event. Ever since then, Prue has been afraid to tell her sisters that she loves them - or to loose someone else that she is close to. Penny took over guardianship of the girls, and has kept a close eye on them sense. She knew that without their mother, it would be difficult to raise the witchy siblings.
When the girls were in their middle-school aged classes, they had the surprise of their life. Penny discovered Paige Matthews, a young girl who had just lost her adoptive parents in a rather brutal car crash. And although she didn't know it, she was being targeted by demons. The sisters saved her, and shortly after, found out the reason she was being hunted down. She was their half-sister, and half-whitelighter.
Penny, unable to leave her own granddaughter to the hands of the state, took in the member of their family they had let go so many years ago. She was thrilled to have all her girls back, but the Elders were less than pleased. They spent nearly a month of mortal time debating the issue. In the end, the Charmed Ones were kept in tact, and they were up one witch. The Elders never explained their reasoning, but they allowed the girls to keep their titles, and for Paige to join them officially, as a Charmed One and a Halliwell.
Now, about two year later, the girls are in their final years at Magic School. Prue, a senior, Piper, a junior, Phoebe, a sophomore, and Paige - a freshman. They began their school year as any young kids would - with a party. Only they didn't know that there were even those that walked the halls that wanted to see them perish. Kesi Démon D'Amour, a senior level student, assisted Dorjan in getting inside the school, and he and many of his demon cronies killed almost 10 students in the massacre. Many more were injured, and the school was forever changed. For a short time, there was even a chance that it would have to close it's doors.
It has been about a month since this attack, and the wounds are beginning to be healed - although they will never be forgotten. There are still many investigations going on, and there are more fully-trained whitelighters walking around than usual. They have lived a fairly calm existence since then, but the looming threat of more demon attacks is always there. Rumors constantly fluctuate about another attack, and who could have been involved in the last one. Most students know that the school's protective charms couldn't be broken without the help of someone inside the school.
Prue, in an attempt to make the demon believe she was on his side, killed a couple of students herself, and is beginning to walk down a path that may lead the Halliwell family to need a serious intervention with her. She's blowing off Andy, being terrible to her peers where she is normally gracious, and even her clothing style has changed. Could killing have permanently corrupted Prue Halliwell's soul, or is she still attempting to reel in the demon by making him trust her?
Dorjan, a several hundred year old demon, sits on the sidelines, and works on picking them off one by one. He is waiting for them to be outside the comfort zone of the school - and he certainly wants them to feel comfortable again. He is determined to take over the school, and the strong witches that survive his attacks, will be turned - and work for him. The top of his list he wishes to convert, The Charmed Ones. They are much more useful alive and allied with him, than dead.
