Capture of the Heart
Chapter 1
"I'm running out of time, I have to go" said Phoebe Halliwell.
She was late, as usual. The sisters had just vanquished another demon, and now Phoebe had to hurry, because she had an interview with a company, she badly needed a job.
"Yes, of course, I can start working immediately!" said Phoebe
"That would be great, because we are already searching for quite some time, and you seem perfect for this job."
Phoebe smiled. But then her phone rang: "Phoebe, I'm sorry to disturb you but ..." crash, boom, bang "... damned ... come home now, that demon really starts to go on my nerves!" Prue yelled.
"Ok, I'm already on my way." With that, they hung up.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go now." Phoebe excused herself.
"But you can't go, you've got a job, you said you could start immediately!"
"It's very urgent, and private, and I must go now..."
"Does this often happen?"
"No, I ..." but Phoebe has always been a bad liar, and she hated to lie to other people "Yes, you must know, my sisters have the habit to run into trouble quite often..." Phoebe desperately searched for an excuse.
"Then or company can't give you this job. We need people to rely on, and people who do their job seriously!"
"I understand, perfectly, and I'll do my job seriously, but just sometimes, I must leave very quickly..."
"Goodbye Miss Halliwell."
With these words, Phoebe left the building, and cursed the fact that she was a witch. Sometimes, all she wished for was normal life, without magic, with normal problems, and without having to save the world only to get nothing in return. And she didn't even have an active power.
As she entered the manor, her sisters were already waiting for her, desperately trying to avoid the energy balls of the demon.
"Phoebe, were have you been? He's trying to kill us for half an hour already, and he can't be vanquished without the power of three!" Piper greeted her.
"I'm sorry, but I was just trying to get a job!" she responded, and then they said the spell.
As the demon was vanquished Prue said "What has gotten into them? That's already the third demon today, and yesterday, there were five, the whole week, there was one demon after the other, I'm running out of force!"
With these words another demon shimmered in.
"That's good news! I was hoping for that!" said the red demon with an evil grin on his face.
Phoebe started to attack him, she ran, and wanted to kick him, but he was faster. "Phoebe no!" They yelled, he grabbed her and shimmered them both away.
