Another Week Another Demon

a/n: I cannot stop thinking about this, I am really inspired for this one. Begins where the last chapter finished off. The word for this chapter is easel. Enjoy! :)

Chapter 2

The doctor came into the room and began to give Piper those tests. He gave her paper and told her to do silly things like write down her name, her profession draw basic shapes like circles and squares, basic things like that, that most people would take for granted. Fortunately Piper was able to do all of the things he asked her to do. And unfortunately the doctor still wanted her to stay in the hospital for the next couple of days.

That night visiting hours were almost over and Michael and Leo had stayed with Piper for most of the day. When the doctor had confirmed that she was okay to move around a little Piper had taken it upon herself to sit herself up. Michael was in her chair moving himself backwards and forwards. "Watch you don't fall out of that. It hurts I should know." Piper said.
"I'm sure I'll be fine." He answered with a smile. Piper smiled back and Leo came back in from the bathroom.
"Hey honey, do you want anything to eat while I'm downstairs?" He asked. Piper nodded.
"I'll have whatever your having, take some money out of my purse." Leo looked at Michael and asked if he wanted anything. Michael said that he would go with Leo because he didn't know what he wanted. They left Piper by herself unaware that our unknown demon had caused this and then come back for more.

He shimmered in and seen Piper pick up her laptop. "Hello witch." He called out to her.
"Oh crap." Piper said trying her best to blow her up and not getting anywhere. She put her laptop back on the nearby chair and proceeded to blow him up. The demon shimmered out again and reappeared beside her, before Piper could react the demon put his hand on Piper and shimmered out before he could be stopped.

Back at the manor Phoebe and Paige were still working on getting rid of the lazarus demon. Paige was scrying with his blood and Phoebe was making a new potion to vanquish him that would stop him from resurrecting long enough to bury him in the cemetery. Paige put down the scrying materials. "I'm too worried about Piper to go around vanquishing demons. Has she ever had a fit before? I mean does it happen often?" Paige asked. Phoebe stopped making the potion.
"No Piper has never had a fit before, not even after her accident." Phoebe told her. Paige was shocked.
"So this was either an underlying problem or something made it happen?" Paige asked. Phoebe nodded.
"I think that we should leave the Lazarus alone until we can figure this out. I mean he hasn't attacked since I seen him and it might be too much for Piper to handle for the time being." Phoebe said wondering why Paige was asking these questions.
"So we ignore the fact that a random demon with a death wish jumped you and your husband." Paige commented crossing her arms.
"I don't want to but-"
"But the lazarus demon will get stronger the longer he is out of cemetery grounds, so we have to vanquish him before we bring Piper home from the hospital." Paige cut off Phoebe before she could finish her sentence. "Phoebe can we please just do this, it will be less stress on Piper I promise." Phoebe thought about it for a second before agreeing that the two of them could handle it without Piper.

Back at the hospital Leo walked into Piper's room to see her empty bed. "Maybe she went to the bathroom?" Michael commented hopeful that that's where Piper was.
"She can't be her wheelchair is in the same place as it was when you stood up out of it." Leo said. He closed his eyes and concentrated on his wife. As Michael didn't yet want people to know that he knew about Piper being a witch he was pretending to be pretty confused about what Leo was doing. "Hey Leo, what exactly are you doing?" He asked the white-lighter who was still trying to locate Piper.
"Nothing, we need to find Piper before anyone realises that she's missing." Leo grabbed the unsuspecting man's arm and orbed him to the attic.

In the attic Leo appeared with Michael. "Piper's missing, did she show up here?" He asked Paige and Phoebe.
"I think I need to sit down now." Michael said finding a couch." Paige and Phoebe looked at each other.
"No she hasn't and considering that fact that she was in hospital how would she have gotten here?" Paige asked.
"So much for not stressing her out." Phoebe said Leo looked at her confused for a second.
"Well something is wrong because I couldn't locate her. Maybe she's in the underworld, or in a place that's magically protected." Paige left the attic.
"I'm going downstairs to get something of hers to focus the crystal on. You guys stay here and try to stop him from vomiting, because if we do find Piper then she might blow a gasket at the mess." Paige commented before disappearing downstairs.

In the underworld the Lazarus and X (Our unknown demon) were tying Piper's hands behind her back so that she couldn't use her powers. "Maybe we should gag her so that she can't call her white-lighter or vanquish us with a spell." X suggested.
"I want her to be able to speak." Lazarus told X. Now that Piper was tied up the two backed away from her. They hadn't even bothered to tie her against anything knowing that she couldn't get herself up from that position on the floor. "Why did you bring me here?" She asked trying not to show how scared she was.
"No reason, just want to kill you and your sisters to steal your powers." X explained. Piper shrugged her shoulders.
"I guess that makes sense other than the part where my sisters find out that I'm missing and come after you. And then vanquish you before you get the chance." Piper said. X walked over to her and slapped in the face. Piper was unable to defend herself and was left vulnerable to their onslaught.

Meanwhile in the attic Leo realised that he had risked exposure by bringing Michael to the manor by orbing. "Phoebe Paige can I speak to you for a moment?" He asked Michael stood up.
"Don't bother, Piper accidently told me two years ago. I promised that I wouldn't tell anyone and I never will. I couldn't betray her, she is my best friend that aint my husband." He said. Phoebe now looked pissed at her sister, but sort of respectful of Michael as he has kept such a big secret for two long years.
"Then why did she moan at me for doing the same thing with Glen?" Paige asked Phoebe nodded her head slightly.
"Come on we need to find her so we can take her back to the hospital and then kick her ass when she is better." Phoebe took Paige and Michael over to the book. When she touched Michael she had a premonition.

Phoebe's Premonition

The lazarus demon was shaking hands with the demon X. They were going to work together with something.
Piper was working in her lab when a demon shimmered in and induced a seizure. Until he had to shimmer away from her when the door opened and Michael walked in.
The scene changed to the hospital it was the same demon who appeared as the door closed and Piper was left alone. With Piper incapacitated it was easy to hold down and shimmer out of the room with her to tie her down in the middle of a dirty, dusty floor.

End Phoebe's Premonition

Paige touched Phoebe's back as she came out of the premonition. "Are you okay? What did you see?" Phoebe put her hands to her face and looked slightly upset.
"The same demon that has Piper is the same demon that induced the seizure. I am pretty sure he is working with the lazarus demon."
"Okay that is not good. We need to find our sister and vanquish those demons before anyone notices she is missing." Paige said and began flipping the pages in the book.
"Wait Paige that's him." Phoebe said stopping her sister. Paige looked at the book of shadows and read out the information.
"We get rid of him and get back to full power before going after the Lazarus." Paige said. Phoebe agreed and they wrote down the spell.
"Wait before we go, how do we vanquish the Lazarus?" Phoebe asked.
"I'm guessing we go to a cemetery and summon him before vanquishing him and burying his remains in the least ceremonial way possible." Paige answered.
"I guess that we could do it that way. But for now we need to get our sister back." Phoebe replied.

They orbed out again this time to the underworld leaving Michel waiting in the attic alone. "What am I supposed to do know just wait?" He asked nobody in particular.

a/n: Sorry this chapter is a little short, it just felt like a good place to end it.
