Phoebe and Paige sat flicking through catalogue, searching for a present
for pipers birthday. "How about this?" suggested Paige, showing Phoebe a
tank top from her catalogue. "Yeah, but she doesn't really go out anymore,
does she? I was thinking of buying her some jewellery." Paige nodded and
lobbed the catalogue into the bin. "How about a cook book?" she suggested
hopefully. They'd been at it for almost an hour, trying to find the perfect
present. Paige just couldn't find a good one. Phoebe yawned. "Yeah, that'll
do, I think." Paige nodded and stood up. "I'll go and get it now." She got
her coat and left to go to the book store. Phoebe tossed the catalogues in
the bin with a sigh.
* * * Paige drifted through the book store, looking for a cook book Piper didn't have. Fat Chance, she thought. She had Jamie Oliver's complete collection, for crying out loud. She'd be here for a long time before she found something. Outside, in a nearby alley, two furry demons were scrying for someone. Three times it landed in the same spot. The bigger of the two turned to the other "Are you sure that one of the charmed one are here? If we snatch someone else, well be deader than road kill" The smaller demon glared at the other. "The crystal landed three times. That's pretty accurate if you ask me." His eyes narrowed. "Did you bring the Drainer?" The big demon nodded "Sure boss". The small one peeked around the corner. "Quick she's coming out. Get ready." Paige stepped out of the store, clutching a bag with a cooking book of chocolate. She hoped Piper would get the hint. On the way to her Volkswagen, she heard something in an alley. "Stop, Thief! Help! Help!" She turned quickly into the alley, searching for the distressed person. There was a dumpster, a few cardboard boxes and a suspicious stain, but no Person. Curious, she walked further forward, to see if they were behind the dumpster. Suddenly, she was pushed hard against the wall. She was so surprised she didn't orb. Something cold and hard poked into her neck, and she felt something strange enter her veins. Her whole body went slack, and she realized with horror that she was paralyzed. She couldn't move a muscle. She was turned hard over and was looking up at two things that looked like a dog crossed with a dragon, with glowing red eyes. The bigger one snorted with laughter. "You gotta be stupid to fall for that trick, Witch." They tied her hands and ankles together, and gagged her. She was helpless to do anything apart from move her eyes. She couldn't even orb. The Big one looked at the small demon. "How do we get her out of her without being noticed, Dan?" Dan glanced around. "I'll hotwire her car, and back it up here, so you can shove her in the trunk." Dan shape shifted into a rather decent looking guy, and left. Paige stared up at the other Creature, fear coursing through her veins. What had they done to her? Her car arrived, backing sloly up to them. "Check her in, John!" John was clearly the other Dragon/Dog, as he opened the boot and tossed her in. Grinning evilly, he shut the trunk with a slam. Her fear had know turned to downright panic. She felt like the walls were closing in, and she couldn't breath. She couldn't breath.
