Charmed: The Crimson Spell
by F. GoldsboroughPiper's eyebrows rose in surprise as she lifted out a red ribbon, knotted in the middle. Where did this come from? she wondered. She was just reaching for the phone to call information when she heard a vibrating sound behind her. She turned to see a tall metal shelving unit, loaded with heavy canned goods, teetering. She watched in shock as it began to fall toward her. Piper threw up her hands-a reaction that usually froze time. But the shelving continued to fall. For the space of a heartbeat, Piper felt stuck in place, unable to summon the power that would save her. She screamed as the shelf swayed forward and the heavy cans tumbled through the air. What's happening to me? Piper asked herself. What's going on with my powers? Why didn't they work?
