One Step Closer

Chapter One: Disturbances

--

It was a Sunday morning and Piper was already up and in the kitchen, cooking away at breakfast. Wyatt was playing with his trucks in the living room while Paige watched him and played along. Chris was still sleeping. Once again all four girls and the three boys were having a nice Sunday breakfast. It seemed like it was the only time when everything was normal and silent. That was until Phoebe arrived from her apartment and started complaining about what would happen to her day. Piper hoped today would be different.

At that moment Phoebe came through the door. "Hello all," she exclaimed in a very perky way.

"Well you are happy today, what's the refreshing change," Paige asked standing up to hug her big sister.

Piper walked in as she was asking this and agreed with Paige, "Yeah what's new?"

"Nothing is actually. I just have a good feeling and a happy outlook on life," Phoebe responded with a smile.

Piper and Paige exchanged a look. "We aren't buying that sis," Piper spoke for both her and Paige.

Phoebe gave a smug smile, "It really isn't anything. Just a sort of revelation I hope comes true."

"And by revelation you really mean premonition don't you," Paige quizzed.

"It doesn't matter. It is for me to know and you to find out all in good time." Phoebe looked around. "Where's Billie?"

"I think she's still upstairs, I'll go check," Piper said turning on her heel.

"How about I check on Billie and Paige will get Leo and Chris this way you can finish that wonderful breakfast we can all smell," Phoebe suggested.

Piper that about this for a minute then decided it was a reasonable idea. She asked Wyatt if he wanted to help mommy with breakfast to which he gladly got up and followed her into the kitchen.

Phoebe headed upstairs while Paige followed in suit. "You know you can always talk to us about your premonitions. Piper is only not worried because you're so happy. And I'm glad you are happy too. Just know that we are always here for you."

"I know Paige and I really appreciate that." With that they parted as Paige went to get Leo and Chris.

Phoebe walked over to Billie room, her old room. She didn't mind the young witch there. She felt safer having her in the manor because at least her sisters could help protect her if anything happened. Something was always bound to happen. Phoebe gently knocked on the door and waited a few seconds before knocking again. When she didn't get a reply the second time she asked, "Billie are you okay?" However she still didn't get an answer. Phoebe pushed open the door to see the blonde lying in a lump on the bed. Her nerves settled.

"Billie, sweetie, it's time to get up," she whispered softly. Billie turned over in her bed and gave a gentle smile. She looked tired almost as if she hadn't slept a wink. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Just a little groggy I guess," Billie responded. To Phoebe she sounded really congested.

"Are you sure you're okay Billie, you look really pale and you don't sound too good."

"I'll be alright really. I just have a little cold. All I need is some rest, orange juice, and some of Piper's awesome Sunday morning breakfast."

The two girls headed downstairs, the whole time Billie kept leaning on Phoebe for support. Phoebe didn't mind this but wanted to make sure Billie was feeling alright. But before she even had the chance Billie said that she was feeling a little weak, probably from the lack of food she reasoned. Phoebe decided not to question it.

When they reached the dining room everyone was already sitting around the table digging in and dishing out. The two girls joined them in there proper seats that they had grown accustomed to and began put food on their own plates.

Once everyone had what they wanted they began to talk about their plans for the day.

"How about you Billie," Piper asked the young witch after everyone else had finished and they realized Billie was being oddly silent.

"Oh you know homework and stuff I guess," she replied after sneezing a few times.

"Honey, are you alright? You look really sick and you sound really out of it," Paige asked her charge in a concerned manner.

"Yeah guys don't worry. It's only a little cold that's all. I told Phoebe the same thing, I'll be fine really. All I need is some rest and I will be better in no time," Billie tried to reassure everyone at the table.

Just then there was a crash in the living room. Piper told Leo to stay in here with the boys as the four girls ran to the living room to see two demons trashing the place.

"Um excuse me but I just cleaned this place," Piper exclaimed angrily. She waved her hands and watched as the one demon sprang backwards. The other hurled an energy ball at Piper who dove out of the way. Soon two more demons had arrived and where surrounding the Charmed Ones and Billie. Piper tried to freeze them but they wouldn't freeze.

"Get them," one of the demons shouted and they all charged in.

Phoebe started to roundhouse one demon and Piper blew back another while Billie used her powers to throw back the other two. Paige tried to orb them out but they wouldn't budge.

"They're definitely upper level demons," Paige whispered.

"Then we have to head to the book this way we know how to deal with these clowns," Piper whispered back. "Here's the plan. Billie and I will keep them occupied while you two orb up to the book and find a way to vanquish them. Got it? Break!"

Soon Phoebe and Paige disappeared in an orb of blue and white lights and Billie and Piper were left alone with the four demons who looked as though they were about to shimmer upstairs.

"Not so fast," Billie said and flung her arms so all four of them went flying backwards. Piper glanced at Billie and at how strong her powers had become. She noticed that she had gotten even paler than before. She knew that she wasn't feeling all that well and should've sent her upstairs instead of Phoebe or Paige but there was no turning back now.

The demons regained their composure. "You will pay for that," one of the demons said pointing to the youngest witch. Then he and one other shimmered out.

"Well don't you two think you should join him before I—," but Piper never got to finish her statement because right then the one shimmered behind her while the other behind Billie and held back their hands.

"Now what we're you saying," the demon behind Billie asked manically.

Piper and Billie squirmed trying to get out of their grasps but couldn't. Swiftly, the other two demons conjured up energy balls and aimed them at the captives. Piper closed her eyes and soon opened them to the screams of one of the two demons that had thrown the energy balls. She realized the Billie must have used her powers to shoot them back. 'Where are my sisters' Piper thought to herself as she continued to struggle.

The demon behind Billie threw her to the floor. "Dumb witch," he said and kicked her in the stomach.

"Is that the best you got," Billie replied standing back up trying not to show the immense pain she was in. "Bring it."

Suddenly the two started going at it. Dropping kicks and laying punches all over their opponents. Neither one would concede. Billie was able to bunch him in the face and knee him in the stomach, forcing him to drop to his knees. She then kicked him in the face. "She was saying that you should run," Billie said smugly referring to what Piper was saying before they showed up.

Just then the demon holding Piper took one hand off of her and formed an energy ball as did the demon that was still behind Billie. The one on the floor looked up and shouted now. All three energy balls were heading towards Billie. Piper quickly reacted and froze one and Billie used her powers to force one back while trying to dodge the other one. The demon behind Piper was vanquished by his own energy ball. Billie fell to the ground having been brushed by one.

Phoebe and Paige then orbed back down with a spell in hand. They ran over to Piper and quickly started chanting the spell. Within seconds the demons that had been left standing were standing no more.

"Could you have taken any longer," Piper asked, smacking Paige upside the head.

"Ouch. Well you know there are a lot of pages in that book."

Phoebe walked over to Billie and knelt down beside her. "Billie are you alright," she asked the young witch. She looked paler than ever and seemed very frail. She placed her hand on her forehead and felt her extreme temperature. "Oh my gosh Billie, you are burning up!"

With that the world around Billie suddenly disappeared as she gave in to the darkness.
