Chapter One
"Piper going to get mad at us again for using magic again when they aren't home." said a little nine year old girl leaning on the door of the Halliwell attic watching her sister and cousin looking at the Book of Shadows. She had long black hair, hazel eyes and ivory skin.
"What she doesn't know Payton, won't hurt her," sang Phoenix as she flipped her dark brown hair behind her ear, showing her deep grey eyes. She had stopped flipping pages and was now grabbing a pen and paper.
"But Piper is scary when she is mad," commented Prue she look all most identical to her mother Phoebe. "I mean Payton has a point."
"I know my sister has a point,"hissed Phoenix, "but what is she going to do? Kill us? We can't always be afraid of are Aunt. Look at the boys they get away with a hell of a lot of stuff, it is are turn."
"So what are you two doing?"Payton asked dully as she watched Prue reaching for herbs out of the cabinet and Phoenix writing things down.
"We are making a love spell," said Prue simply.
"And no you can't help," Phoenix added quickly. "Knowing you, you'll probably screw it up, your not the best at spells."
"Bite me!" she gave her sister an evil go to hell look. "So who is the lucky boy?"
"Charlie," Prue said without looking up from the book. "Where is the rosemary?" Payton had that look on her face like she was trying not to laugh. "Charlie?" she couldn't hold a strait face and bursted into a fit of giggles.
"What so funny?" hiss Phoenix.
"Nothing,"she laughed. "It's just you'll need a miracle not a spell."
"You little witch," Phoenix yelled picking up one the candles and launching it at her sisters head. Payton simply put her hand up and yelled, "Shield." A swirl of blue light surrounded Payton and the candle bounced off of it.
"Stupid Head!" Payton shrieked with a smile. "What can't hit me?"
"How is it that the only conjurer in the family can only create a shield and nothing else?" Prue said glaring at her cousin from the book. Payton understood what the two of them where trying to do. They had pulled that stupid line so many times to make herself feel less powerful then the rest of the family because she was the baby.
"How is it that the only telepath in the family can't tap into any demon's powers yet?" Payton hissed. "And you," she was pointing at her sister, "You are so freaking full of..." Payton was interrupted by a loud noise coming from down stairs.
"Oh crap!"Phoenix yelped as she started grabbing candles and putting them up. "Go check to see who is here and distract them until I come down, Pay."
"I didn't make this mess or try to do magic."
"For the love of God," Prue threw up her hands running down stairs. "I am on it."
"You do realize if we get caught we are taking you down with us?" Phoenix said grabbing the herbs and trying to put them back into the right place. Payton ran to the book grabbing the sheets of paper and pen. Phoenix ran to the attic door. "Okay it look good, Pay come on."
Payton had stop, now looking at the book, it wasn't on any love spell, but to 'To Call A Witches Power Spell'. She looked at it reading the lines, she didn't understand why she had stop to read it, she just had too. "Payton lets go." Phoenix yelled. She looked up and ran out the attic door grabbing her sister's arm and running down the step, not stopping until they made it into the kitchen.
"Hello who's home?" Phoenix bellowed looking around the kitchen. She walked over to the key rack. There were no keys on the hangers. "Prue where did you go?" she shouted. Payton walked out of the kitchen to the front door, but there was no sign of Prue. Prue love to scare the crap out of her cousins. It wasn't hard in this family especially with the constant demon attacks when they were little. "Prue God dammit." Payton watch her sister walk in and out of the living room and then into the conservatory. "I swear to God...PRUE" she screamed. Payton dashed into the conservatory to hear Leo's name get called.
"What going..." she let the sentence trail off, as she saw Phoenix on the floor clutching on to a blood soaked Prue laying lifelessly in her arms. Phoenix had tears streaming down her face. "What happened?" Payton muttered as she forced her tears back.
"I did," said a voice in the doorway. Both the girls looked up at the man who was standing there robes draped around him, concealing his identity. Phoenix crawled to her feet as Payton walked to her side. "Now tell me where the Sisters are, or end up like her." he nodded to the sprawled out body on the floor.
"That are only two options?" Phoenix said sharply, Payton looked at her sister. She could tell her sister was trying to act brave. That was what she did act brave in the face of tragedy and danger. She turned her attention back to the demon who was just standing there. "Go to hell." Phoenix yelled as she threw a energy at the demon, it hit the demon square in the chest but he didn't flinch instead he gave a little laugh. He raised his hand up and another demon appeared in the same kind of cloak.
"They don't want to play are game," he muttered to the new demon. "So take care of them."
The demon nodded and threw a fireball at the girls. Payton grabbed her sister's hand and yelled shield. A swirl of blue surrounded the girls and blocked the fireball.
"Sorry boys," Phoenix muttered with a short smile and she threw her hands in the air sending both demons crashing into a wall. "Run to the attic," she muttered at Payton. They ran as fast as they could to the stairs, Payton made it there first waiting for her sister to run in front of her.
"MOM, LEO WYATT!" Payton screamed at the ceiling as she ran behind her sister up into the attic.
"Shut the door," she hissed at Payton as she ran full blast to the Book of Shadows. But she never made it half way there she made a dead stop. "Mom," she gasped reaching to her side. Payton turned around from the door, her eyes went bigger as she saw blood drip from Phoenix's hands onto the floor. "Payton," she whispered turning around to look at her sister. Her face was pale and her lips went thin. Phoenix fell to the floor from where she stood.
"No, Phoenix," whispered backing up to the corner of the attic. "Mom, Leo, Wyatt, anyone," she sobbed.
"Don't worry your next," said a voice in the room. Payton looked around and put up her shield all of the sudden she felt her something hitting the shield and crashing into the table on the other side of the room. The demon materialized in the heap of debris. "You little witch," he muttered angrily as he dusted himself off. "God I could have so much fun with you if I didn't have to kill you," he said walking towards her again. But Payton wasn't paying attention to the demon she was paying attention to the white transparent soul of Phoenix who was rising up from her body.
"Payton conjurer a fireball," she yelled at her sister. The demon couldn't hear or see Phoenix's soul.
"I can't Phi I just can't," she muttered.
"Yes you can. Your stronger than anyone ever gives you credit for," Phoenix was crying. "You are going to make it so you are going to create a fireball and kill this demon. Because if I see you in the afterlife any time soon I am going to kick your ass got it." Phoenix looked up, "Don't make me tell you again." she looked again at her sister and disappeared.
Payton attention was now on the demon who was just at the edge of her shield. "We could have fun and I promise I won't kill you,"he was playing with the athame he had used to stab Phoenix.
"I don't think so," she raised her palm up and closed her eyes. I need a fire ball she said to herself. I need a fireball, I need a fireball, I need... She felt warmth on her finger tips and open her eyes. A fireball was twirling around in her hands. She looked at it for a moment then at the demon and tossed it at the demon square in the chest. He seem ready to laugh until he grabbed his chest and burst into flames. Payton stood there, breathing hard and fast. Mom where the hell was she? Where the hell was Leo she thought to herself. Payton removed the shield. She felt her body shake as she walked slowly over to Phoenix's body knowing nothing was there. Her body felt heavy and her legs weak and she collapse next to Phoenix's peaceful body. If she didn't wake up that would have been okay with her.
