The Day the World Ends

Chapter 2

                 Getting Ready For New York

 

“WHAT?! What do you mean the end of the world?” Paige asked confusedly.

           

“Paige!” Piper said while smacking her on the arm still looking at Phoebe.

“Now Phoebe, why don’t you tell us what you saw. Can you do that for me?” Piper asked with a worried look, running her hand through Phoebe’s hair, as she sat down next to her mouth slightly open in awe. When she was done they all had one question in mind. But Phoebe beat them to it.

           

“What in the hell are they doing going after the law and in brood day light?” Phoebe asked.

           

“I guess they thought taking the quiet way was taking too long.” Paige answered.

“I know one thing is for sure, we are going to New York and we are going to need all the help we can get.” Phoebe said thinking back to her premonition.

“Phoebe,” Paige asked shaking “do you know when this is going to happen?”

           

“All I know is that it is going to happen very soon.”

           

“What about packing? What about the kids?” Piper asked “We can’t just take them!”

           

“Piper we are going to have to, we can’t just leave them. Plus they will be safe with us besides we might need their help. We have twelve hours to pack and get to New York.  If you two can explain things to them about going to New York.”

Phoebe picked up the phone as Paige nodded and left the room.

“What are you going to do?” Piper asked.

“I am going to call Darrel. We are going to need his help on this one.” Phoebe answered as she dialed. Piper headed out the door too shaken to say anything.

“Darrel. Hi it’s Phoebe. Now before you say or do anything, just whatever you do don’t hang up.”

“And why not,” Darrel asked trying to keep from yelling “Don’t you get it I don’t want anything to do with you.”

“Darrel the world is going to end!” Phoebe yelled over Darrel.

“What?” Darrel asked to make sure he heard this correctly.

“It’s true. I know it’s hard to believe but demons are going to attack all the police academies and police officers in New York within a couple of days. I saw the world end.” Phoebe said while silently crying, “Demons are going to try to take over the world. We really need your help for everyone’s sake you and everyone in your life. So are you going to helps us or not?”

“Ok, I’ll do it. When do we leave?”

“You need to go home and pack, you’ve got six hours. Do what you need to do then meet us back at the house.” Phoebe ordered, not bothering to say bye and hung up the phone. She turned around to find everyone looking at her. “Darrel is going to help. I gave him six hours to get done with everything he needed to do.”

“What’s going on, what’s so urgent?” Leo asked with his back against the door frame, his arms crossed over his t-shirt, and was also wearing pajama bottoms. Billie, the Halliwell’s friend and sister in all but blood, stood right behind him, wearing a white tank top and matching pajama shorts.

“Demons are going to attack the NYCPD and their academies. Along with the District Attorneys.” Pheobe sighed, “Basically they are going after the law members in the worst crime city in the country.”

Before Leo could say anything Paige was back with the boys. “Good now that we’re all here,” Phoebe said changing the subject, “we need to get ready for New York City.” She didn’t want to have to go to keep going over her vision again and again. “When I find the people I’m looking for and gather them, I’ll try to give everyone an idea of what’s going on.” As Phoebe finished she turned to her sisters. “Piper I need you to get anything and everything that has anything to do with protection from the kitchen. I’m going to get the Book of Shadows, Crystals, candles and other important things that we might need from the attic. For everyone else pack lightly because we’re not arriving on a plane.” Phoebe stated as she herself started to pack.

A few moments Piper and Leo were back in their own room getting ready for their trip across the United States to save the world.

“So are you going to tell me what’s going on or am I going to have to wait to get to wherever we’re going?” Leo asked crossing his arms and leaning against the door frame.

“What is there to say, Phoebe had a premonition of the world ending, or that it’s going to end in a few days. Demons are going to try to take over our law and order.” Piper looked at Leo for comfort with tears streaming down her face. She didn’t have any solution to the situation, she was scared, and her face showed it. Leo walked up to her and put his arms around her.

 

“Piper I won’t let anything bad happen to this family or the world. I love being down here too much to let anything bad happen to you. You have to believe that we can get through this.”

“I know, I’m just scared because this is totally different from what we deal with every day.”

With twelve hours almost up and everyone had done a great deal of crying, everyone was gathered by the front door. “Now does everyone have what they need to go to New York?” With a silent nod from the adults, Phoebe continued asking questions. “Paige do you have a picture of where we need to orb in?”

“Got it all pictured in my head.” Paige answered with a nod.

“Ok everyone grab hands. We’re going to New York.” Phoebe stated with a sad smile.
