Let It Snow!

by Andy


DISCLAIMER: The characters Freezarro, Dara, and Dara's mother belong to me. The Charmed Ones belong to the creators of Charmed.

Dara sat on her knees in front of the table in front of the window in her room. The table was covered with blue and white burning candles and a picture of a wintry scene. With her eyes shut, she called upon the snow spirit Freezarro. She opened her eyes and saw a cloud of blue fog outside of her window. She smiled happily as she realized she had called Freezarro. California was going to have a white Christmas after all. Dara opened the window and he entered her room. There was a jiggle of her bedroom doorknob, then pounding on the door. Dara got up and opened the door, but blocked her mom's view of her room.

Dara's Mom: What are you doing?

Dara: Nothing. Nothing at all. Why?

Her mom felt a chilly wind come from Dara's room and shivered.

Dara's Mom: Is your window open? Why is it open?

Dara: Umm… It was getting hot in here. I'm fixing to close it. Did you need something?

Dara's Mom: No, I was just checking up on you, seeing if you needed anything.

Dara: Well, I'm fine, I don't need anything. Thanks.

Her mom left and she closed the door. She turned around expecting to see Freezarro, but he was gone. She sighed. She had a gift, she knew this, but spirits she called never stayed past a couple minutes. She definitely needed to strengthen her gift. She blew out the candles and shut the window disappointedly then laid down on her bed and stared at the ceiling. All of a sudden she heard raspy breathing and the blue mist started coming out from under her bed.

Freezarro: Are you the one who summoned me?

Dara: Are you Freezarro? The snow spirit?

Freezarro: Yessss.

Dara: Yes, I am the one who summoned you.

Freezarro said no more and possessed her body by going through her nostrils and open mouth. Her eyes widened and she gasped for air, as the snow spirit possessed her. Once he had her under his control, her eyes turned an icy blue and glazed over. All the color in her face drained and her hair dried out and became stiff. She got up off the bed and left her house and started walking to the Charmed One's home.

Prue was rushing around the house trying to get ready to go to work. Piper woke up to Prue rushing around downstairs and Phoebe was up in the attic doing god knows what this time. Piper who was still half asleep got out of bed and headed downstairs and started cooking breakfast for her and her sisters. Prue was really irritated this morning and Phoebe homesteaded in the attic until Prue left to stay out of the line of fire. Piper called to Phoebe when Prue left.

Piper: O.K. Pheebs! Prue's gone to work now! You can come down and eat breakfast!

Phoebe: O.K.! Thanks sis!

Phoebe came downstairs joyfully, then the doorbell rang and she answered it. It was the possessed Dara. Phoebe stared at her for a minute. She stared at her iced over eyes, her colorless face, and her stiff hair. Then she examined the rest of her.

Phoebe: Yes? How may I help you?

Freezarro's Voice: Is this the home of the Charmed Ones?

Phoebe looked suspiciously at Dara.

Phoebe: Who wants to know?

Freezarro: Freezarro, the snow demon!

Phoebe's eyes widened and she shut the door in Dara's face and backed away from the door. The doorbell rang again and Piper came to answer it. She noticed Phoebe's expression.

Piper: Pheebs? What's wrong?

She opened the door and there stood Dara. In the background Phoebe was getting ready to make a run for it.

Dara: Hello, my name is Dara… where am I?

Piper: Prescott Street. This is Halliwell Manor. I'm Piper Halliwell. That's my sister, Phoebe Halliwell. We have another sister, Prue, but she's at work.

Phoebe came up behind Piper and squeezed her shoulder hard.

Piper: Ow! Phoebe! What did you do that for?!

Phoebe: Dara, come on in and sit down and make yourself comfortable, I'm going to have to steal Piper away for a minute and talk to her. O.K.?

Piper and Phoebe walked into the kitchen.

Piper: O.K. Pheebs, what's wrong? Why are you being like this? You hurt me!

Phoebe: That's no ordinary girl. When I opened the door, she didn't look like that, or talk like that. Her eyes were icy blue and iced over, her face was white, and her hair was stiff and dried out, and her voice sounded raspy and like a man's voice. Something is going on, and I don't like it.

Piper: Well, she seems fine now. Perfectly… ordinary.

Piper stared at her sister with a forced smile, then she went back to Dara and left Phoebe standing in the kitchen thinking. Phoebe started feeling stupid and went to where Piper and Dara were. She overheard the name Freezarro. She gasped. That was who she said she was, not Dara. Phoebe walked over to Piper and grabbed her by the arm intent on dragging her back to the kitchen again.

Phoebe: Dara, we'll be right back, I promise, I need to talk to Piper again. Piper, kitchen, now!

Phoebe and Piper walked back into the kitchen.

Piper: Pheebs! What's wrong with you?! That's very rude!

Phoebe: Would I still be being rude if I told you that Dara IS Freezarro?

Piper: What?! What are you talking about?

Phoebe: Freezarro, she mentioned that name, right?

Piper: Mm hmm…

Phoebe: Well, Dara either IS Freezarro in disguise, or she's possessed by him. What all did she say about him?

Piper: Not much. She said he was a snow spirit who could make it snow and she had tried to summon him. Why?

Phoebe: When I opened the door, I asked her who she was and she said she was Freezarro, the DEMON of snow. I don't feel right with her in the house. I feel… threatened.

The possessed Dara overheard their conversation and knew his disguise was blown. Her skin lost all it's color, her hair dried out and stiffened, and her eyes turned icy blue and glazed over. She got up and walked into kitchen, ready to reveal herself to the supposedly unexpecting Charmed Ones.

Freezarro's Voice: Hello Charmed Ones! I am Freezarro! Demon of snow!

Dara raised her hand and a ball of ice formed in front of it and it flew at the sisters and expanded like a web and was about to turn them to ice, but Piper froze the threatening ice and Dara. Phoebe stared at the ice for a minute.

Phoebe: Now THAT was close! We need to call Prue and tell her about this!

Phoebe started for the phone, then looked at the frozen Dara and blue smoke was coming out of her nostrils and mouth, passing through her evil, twisted smile. She knew right away it was Freezarro.

Phoebe: Piper! We have a problem!

Piper: What is it Pheebs?

Piper walked to where her sister was standing and watched the blue mist form a cloud.

Freezarro: You can't stop me THAT easily!

Phoebe stood there paralyzed, and Piper tried several times to freeze him in time, but it didn't work. It didn't affect him just like it didn't affect the shadow demon. He floated over to Phoebe and started to possess her and Piper tried to stop him, but it didn't work, her hands passed through him. Phoebe gasped for air as he entered her body through her nostrils and mouth. Once he had control of Phoebe, her eyes turned icy blue and glazed over, her hair stood up and froze like a block of ice, and her skin turned as white as snow. Piper looked at her now possessed sister in horror, and time unfroze. The web of ice passed on through the kitchen and covered part of a wall with ice and Piper pushed Phoebe out of her way and ran to the phone, grabbed it to call Prue, then ran to the attic to see if the Book of Shadows could help. Once in the attic, she locked the door behind her so it wouldn't be easy for Phoebe to get to her and she called Prue at work as she flipped through the pages in the book.

Prue: Hello?

Piper: Hey Prue, there's a real crisis at the manor… GET OVER HERE NOW!!!

Prue: Piper? What's wrong?

Piper: A girl came to the door after you left for work this morning, and she was possessed… by a demon of snow, and he resembles the woogy man in every way except his form is blue fog, not black. His name is Freezarro. He attacked us using the girl's body, I froze him, and he left her body. Now he has possessed Phoebe! I ran for the phone, then ran up to the attic, and locked the door behind me and I'm looking through the book now.

Prue: So we lost Phoebe to evil… once again. (Sighs) I'm leaving now, bye.

Piper: Alright, but hurry! Bye, love you.

Prue: Love you too, bye.

Freezarro stared out through Phoebe's eyes at Dara and threw a ball of ice at her to freeze her. She froze with a mixed look of confusion and fear. He laughed wickedly at the sight. Phoebe walked to the base of the staircase and looked towards the attic door.

Freezarro's Voice: So that's their place of greatest power, the attic.

She walked to the attic door and threw ice at it to ice over the door to make it appear as if Piper is really the possessed one. The door was now blocked, and Piper was trapped with the Book of Shadows. Freezarro thought out loud as he walked downstairs.

Freezarro's Voice: She's probably already called the third sister and told her what has happened, but maybe I can turn the tables to be in my favor. I'll tell the third sister that the one in the attic is the one really possessed. Tell her she trapped herself up there and is tampering with their precious book. The evidence would point to that, the iced over door not allowing passage in or out of the attic. Her being the only up there. The oldest will HAVE to believe it, but not until I change my host's appearance and voice back to normal.

Phoebe's appearance returned to normal. Her hair melted, her eyes returned to their natural color, and her skin regained its tan. The front door opened and Prue walked in and there stood the supposedly possessed Phoebe. Phoebe turned to look at Prue.

Prue: Phoebe? Is that you?

Phoebe: Yes! Oh Prue! I'm so scared. Piper's been possessed, and she's up in the attic tampering with the Book of Shadows. I tried to go up and stop her, but when I got there, the door was frozen and I couldn't get in, and now she can't get out.

Prue stared at her sister with suspicion. Who to believe? The one in front of her? Or the one in the attic? She ran up the stairs to see if the door was iced over, and it was, but on the outside, a strange feeling filled her. Why is it frozen on the outside? She went back downstairs to ask Phoebe about it, but she wasn't there. She searched downstairs for her sister.

Prue: Phoebe?! Where did you go?! Where are you?!

Phoebe: I'm in the kitchen!

Aggravated, confused, and suspicious, she walked into the kitchen. In front of her was an iced over wall. To her right was a girl covered in ice. Phoebe was standing at the sink with her back turned to Prue.

Prue: Phoebe, the door to the attic was iced over, but on the outside, not inside. Why?

Phoebe turned to Prue to face her and began transforming right there before Prue. Her hair stood up and froze, her tan faded, and her eyes turned icy blue and glazed over and Freezarro's voice replaced hers. Prue gasped in fear at her possessed sister's transformation. Phoebe's snow-white hand came up and a ball of ice formed in front of it and shot at Prue. Prue screamed and put up her hands and the ice ball bounced back and hit Phoebe, but she didn't freeze, she just absorbed the ice orb, but it stunned her for a minute. Prue's eyes widened with fear as she witnessed this. She ran from the kitchen and up the stairs to attic door and started banging on the iced over door.

Prue: Piper!! Open up!! Help!!

Piper: Prue?!

Piper opened the door and looked at Prue through a sheet of ice and her eyes widened at the sheet of ice and Prue continued to bang on it with reddening hands hoping it was thin enough to break and get through. Phoebe began climbing the stairs with a twisted smile across her face.

Prue: Piper! Stand back! I'm going to try to break the ice with my power!

Piper moved away from the doorway and Prue waved her hand in the direction of the sheet of ice and a big crack formed down the middle. Phoebe was almost to the top of the first flight of stairs. Prue squinted her eyes at the door and the crack grew bigger. Phoebe was walking past the bedroom doors and to the flight of stairs to the attic. Prue squinted her eyes and waved her hand at the ice and it shattered into a million pieces and she ran into the attic and closed and locked the door behind her. She stared at Piper with relief and Piper returned the gaze. As Phoebe saw Prue break the ice, she ran for her, but it was too late, she was already in and had the door locked behind her. She started assaulting the door trying to get to them, and then stopped, it was useless. Freezarro remembered the frozen innocent downstairs and decided to try to use her to lure out the sisters. Prue and Piper walked to the book and it was open to an index of names of demons. Piper had already located Freezarro and was about to read about him, but Prue came banging on the door and she went to help her. They flipped to the page on Freezarro. It said:

Freezarro, a spirit of snow. He was once a peaceful spirit, but a spell cast over him by a jealous demon turned him evil. If he is conjured, he will possess the conjurer first, then go after the most powerful witch or witches in the world at the current time with intent to vanquish them.

Vanquish Freezarro Spell
From the past, to this time
You will be vanquished at the end of my rhyme.
Fire and water, mother and earth
Melt the ice with fire from my hearth.
Release your hold on the witch you control!
Fire and earth, melt the evil demon of snow!

Prue and Piper repeated the incantation 5 times. The house was silent. Prue used her power to unlock and open the door. No possessed Phoebe. She edged to the doorway. No hiding Phoebe. She walked downstairs, no Phoebe yet. She walked to the kitchen, the frozen girl was gone. Where had her and Phoebe gone? The ice on the wall was gone and the basement door was open and the light was on down there. Prue smelled a trap and ran back to tell Piper, but Phoebe appeared in the doorway and blocked Prue's way. Prue screamed and Phoebe threw two ice balls at her and Prue stood there lifeless covered in an extra layer of ice.

Freezarro's Voice: That should teach you to try to vanquish me!

He decided to spare the sister in the attic for now. Phoebe began spinning in a circle, faster and faster. Blue mist began to surround her, beginning at her feet, then making its way to the tip of her frozen hair. She appeared to be a small blue tornado. She melded with the mist and then pale blue lights appeared in the tornado and then wind began howling and the mist and lights expanded a little, then grew small and vanished in a matter of seconds. Phoebe was gone, Dara and Prue were iced, and Piper was alone in the attic waiting for Prue to return, or for Phoebe to appear and try to hurt her. She waited a few minutes. Silence. No Prue, no possessed Phoebe. What is going on? She moved to the door cautiously. No one there. She walked out and to the hall of bedroom doors. No one there. She walked to the bottom of the stairs. No one there either. What's happened to everyone? Did they all leave her there? She didn't like it at all. She walked to the kitchen. She gasped. There stood Prue, covered in ice. The basement door was open. Piper was filled with fear at the open door. Was that where Phoebe went? She was powerless against her sister and the demon. She walked to the basement door and peered inside. There was the frozen girl who brought Freezarro to them. She slowly went down the stairs to Dara. She approached her and still, no Phoebe. Where was she? She didn't like it at all. She ran back up to the kitchen to Prue. She thought for a minute. She got a pot, filled it with hot water, and threw it on her frozen sister. The ice began to melt where she threw it. She would worry about the mess on the floor later. Prue and the frozen girl in the basement were more important.

Piper: Well, at least the ice isn't enchanted and not able to be melted by everyday hot water.

She filled up the pan with more hot water and tossed it on Prue. When Prue was defrosted, she'd start on the girl in the basement. Phoebe appeared in a park somewhere close to the Manor. She looked at the sky and clouds began to move in. Darker and Darker, thicker and thicker. They looked so heavy you would think they were going to fall from the sky and break into a million pieces and scatter the ground as far as the eye could see. First it was rain, then the temps dropped from 70 to 29 degrees in five minutes. Then it started sleeting, and then it turned to snow. Phoebe's twisted smile returned. Within an hour the ground was covered in a foot of snow. Phoebe sat in the air and floated there watching the conditions. Making sure it didn't stopped. From a distance, Piper, Prue, and Dara watched as she hovered there with satisfaction written all over her snow-white face. They had written the spell on paper and they started reading it together. They watched to see how Phoebe would react to this. Would it free her? Or would it have no affect like before? They waited. She fell from the air and hollered in pain. Then got up and looked for them. Why didn't the spell work? All it did was phase her. Prue thought for a minute.

Prue: Dara. I have an idea. Go out there and try to get him to let go of Phoebe and possess you.

Dara: Why?

Prue: Maybe if we all the say the spell together we'll be strong enough to vanquish him.

Dara: What will happen to me?

Prue: The spell includes a line about him releasing the witch he's in. You're a witch. You should be fine, if not we'll stop and try to lure him out of you then say the spell.

Dara: Umm… O.K., I guess.

Dara walked out into the open and revealed herself to Phoebe.

Dara: Hey! What are you doing? I'm the one who called you! Not her!

Phoebe's head snapped up and looked directly at Dara.

Freezarro's Voice: I thought I froze you?!

Dara: You did, but Piper melted your ice! You're so pathetic!

Phoebe's twisted smile turned into an enraged scowl. She turned back to the normal Phoebe, and Freezarro left her body, and she collapsed. He surrounded Dara's body. She wasn't afraid.

Freezarro: How pathetic am I now?!

Prue: Oh no! Phoebe's out cold. Now we can't say it together.

Piper: (Sighs) so much for that plan. Time for plan B.

Prue: Plan B?

Piper threw her hands out to freeze time. She gasped. Freezarro froze as he swirled around Dara and was about to possess her. Dara's eyes opened to see an inanimate Freezarro. Piper must have been able freeze him. Only problem was, she had no way of getting out of the swirl of blue mist, unless she could climb over it. She put her hand to the mist. It was solid. She reached for the top and heaved herself over the mist. Piper and Prue were already trying to revive Phoebe. She walked over to them.

Dara: Is she O.K.?

Prue: Yeah, she's just over exhausted from trying to fight him from within.

Dara: How long do you think it will take for her to come out of it? How long will everything stay frozen?

Prue and Piper stared at Dara. She stopped with the questions.

Dara: Sorry. I'll be quiet now.

Phoebe opened her eyes. She coughed then groaned.

Phoebe: Where am I?

Piper: In a park. Are you okay?

Phoebe: Yeah, I think.

Phoebe rubbed the back of her head. She winced as pain formed at her fingertips. She hit her head hard when she fell apparently. She looked at Dara, then behind her at the frozen blue mist caught in mid swirl. Phoebe got up and looked around.

Phoebe: Since when does it snow in California?

Prue: Since the snow demon possessed you. You did all this.

Phoebe: Oh. Well it's beautiful.

Prue: Phoebe, I have an incantation to vanquish Freezarro. It won't work though without the power of three. Will you help us? Or are you feeling up to it?

Phoebe: I'll try my best.

Time unfroze and the sisters gathered together and began saying the incantation.

Phoebe, Piper, and Prue:

From the past, to this time
You will be vanquished at the end of my rhyme.
Fire and water, mother and earth
Melt the ice with fire from my hearth.
Release your hold on the witch you control!
Fire and earth, melt the evil demon of snow!

As they said the spell, Freezarro kept swirling, and lights swirled with him, only this time the lights were here to vanquish him, not provide a means of travel. His raspy voice produced an unholy sound. They watched as the lights attacked him. An aura of heat formed and he roared louder. Dirt began to join the swirling. Water appeared and swirled with the blue roaring mist and the dirt and the aura of heat.

Freezarro: Finish it! Put me out of my misery! Now!

Prue: The rest of the spell? There isn't any more.

Phoebe: By the power of light I cleanse thee!

The lights went to the center of Freezarro, then the light expanded and he vanished with it. They had vanquished him, finally. They returned to the manor and say their goodbye's to Dara and thanked her for trying to help as much as she could. They told her she was welcome anytime she needed help with a problem and told her not to hesitate to come visit them. Phoebe went inside first and went to the attic. She read the spell to vanquish Freezarro. She added the last line. By the power of light I cleanse thee. Prue and Piper found her and read the additional line Phoebe just added. They grouped together and walked of the attic talking about how Phoebe looked possessed by Freezarro.
