Family History is the 8th and final story in The Warren Witches. It is written by Laura J. Burns.

Summary

The sisters are enjoying a relaxing weekend when an ancient demoness, Astarte, runs in on them and starts changing their timeline. At first they think that a simple Power of Three spell will fix it, but they were wrong: Astarte was present in Melinda Warren, Brianna, P. Baxter, Grams, their own time as well as Posie Halliwell's time. Now they will have to call upon the magic of this entire lineage to destroy this demoness before they are themselves destroyed.

Characters

Major

Piper Halliwell: The middle sister with the power of Molecular Immobilization and Molecular Combustion. With a powerful demon bent on destroying their entire family line, Piper travels to find Brianna to enlist her help.
Phoebe Halliwell: The third sister with the power of Premonition and Levitation.
Paige Matthews: The youngest half-sister with the power of Telekinetic Orbing and Orbing. She is visited by her future granddaughter.
Leo Wyatt: Piper's husband and the Charmed Ones' Whitelighter. He has the powers of Orbing and Healing.

Support

Melinda Warren: The Charmed Ones' ancestor. She possessed the three original powers that passed on to the Charmed Ones: Telekinesis, Molecular Immobilization, and Premonition. Being at a very young age, Melinda is timid and doesn't dare to face a demon.
Astarte: A powerful demon who must be vanquished in all timelines at once.
Posie: Paige's granddaughter.

Magical Notes

Spells

Safety Spell

When in the circle that is home,

Safety's gone in evil's roam,

Rid all beings from these walls,

Save us sisters three.

Now heed our call.

Protection Spell

For every witch, in every hour,

Send us now the greatest power.

Brick and mortar, wood and stone,

Protect our center, protect our home.

To Call Upon The Warren Line

I call forth from time and space

Women from the Warren line,

Mothers, daughters, sisters, friends,

Our family's spirit without end,

To gather now in this sacred place

To help bring this demon to disgrace.

To Vanquish Astarte

Earth, water, fire, air,

See Astarte standing there.

Draw our power to do your work,

Vanquish her forever from this earth.

To Cloak Brianna's Paintings

Oils and canvas, masterpieces

Hide yourselves from witch's eyes.

Only when Brianna has spoken

May you reveal yourselves and return her prize.

To Vanquish Astarte

(Revised Version)

Earth, water, fire, air,

See Astarte standing there.

Heed our will, and not our words,

Her name ignored, her essence heard.

Draw our power to do your work,

Vanquish her forever from this earth.

Artifacts

Tektite Crystal: A crystal that is able to contact people in different time periods.
