-Piper was in the manor living room enjoying spending time with her family. Her, Leo and the boys were playing a board came. Well actually her and Leo were playing and the boys were messing things up trying to play as well, but nonetheless she was having a great time, enjoying her demon-free life, it had been a long time coming.
-Suddenly, all four of them saw a bright white light appear in front of them followed by a whitelighter. He looked at the four of them like he was waiting for them to magically understand why he was there. After a couple seconds Piper got tired of waiting for him to say something
-"Who are you and what are you doing here"
-The whitelighter looked at her then at Leo before speaking: "umm I'm here to take you to a meeting with the elders, your sisters and Billy are being sent there too so if you would take my hand we will be there right away"
-Piper was get more exasperated every second of his speak. "We are not their lapdogs, they can't just whistle and expect us to show, I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what this is about"
-He looked at her, she was being more difficult then he thought she would be. "I'm not at liberty to say, but the elders will tell you everything that you need to know very soon"
-He stopped, just looking at her, hoping that she would come with him. He did not want to be the one to go back to the elders to tell them that he could not get her, that would be bad.
-After a good 10 second of staring contest , Piper finally folded : "Fine I'll go but this better not take too long I got a game to win" She said smirking at Leo. She then took the whitelighter's hand and orbed out.
-When she opened her eyes again she was surprised to see Phoebe, Paige and Billy already there, but she took great pride in hearing them argue with the elders about what the hell they were doing there.
-When the leader realised that Piper was there he dismissed the whitelighters then spoke: -"Well now that everybody's here we can begin". Phoebe turn around to see Piper walking towards her. "What is going on", Phoebe asked her sister. "I don't know but hopefully they will tell us soon" she answered.
-The leader then spoke again: "Ladies if you would just sit down we have a lot to discuss with you".
-The four of them sat down deciding that they might as well hear them out so they can get out of there faster.
-The leader then looked around to his colleges before starting what he knew was going to be a very hard conversation.
-"Four witches have been killed in the last 2 days, by the same demon", he started, "His name is" He was interrupted by Paige, "It's not possible we made a deal with the underworld they needed time to reorganized and we needed time to have a life remember".
-"Well like I said, his name is Darius and he is a very powerful demon, and to answer your question we thought he'd been dead for years until he reappeared a couple days ago, which might explain why he broke the deal, he's not the one who made it"
-"Well that does not matter" continued Phoebe, "a deal is a deal, he should just stick by it".
-"I'm sorry, but it appears he has no intention of doing so. Actually we have every reasons to believe that he is fighting for control of the underworld, he wants to ally all the demons together and take control of everything, this world included", the elder continued, hoping to convince them of how important it was.
-The girls though were still not seeing it. "That does not really matter it never works anyway. Demons are too selfish to work together in small groups so I really doubt he can get all of them to work for him", argued Paige.
-"This is different, he is different, he is very powerful, add that to the powers he stole from the witches he killed and soon enough demons are going to have no other choice but to follow him, this is why we need your help, you need to kill him before he gets too powerful and becomes unstoppable".
-The girls looked at each other, you could tell that it was the last thing they wanted to do. They thought they were done with the demon hunting, but it's not like they had a choice. If they did not do it then they could end up dead like a lot of innocent people, so finally Piper spoke.
-"Fine, We'll kill him. He is probably going to find us soon enough anyway, they always come after us first"
-"Not this time, not this Demon" The elder started, this was the beginning of the conversation he was dreading.
-He continued steadily: "Actually, we are pretty sure that he is going to come after you last. First he needs to find a way to make sure that when he does confronts you he can kill you and that might take a while".
-Phoebe had to laugh at that: "He's probably not as mighty as you think if he's scared of us".
-"He's not, he is just very careful and right now he knows he can't kill all of you."
-"Beside, he knows you well enough to know that if he does not kill all of you at his first attempt he is going to be in trouble".
-"That's the understatement of the century", Piper started.
-"Beside Why do demons always think that they know us, they don't, they don't know anything about us, and neither does this one, I don't understand why you're so scared of this one"
-The elder took a deep breath, this was the time. "We are scared of this one because unlike other demons he does know you and a lot better than you think. He probably knows more about you then you know about each other"
-"That's impossible" Piper continued, "No demons could get close enough to get that much information without us knowing about it".
-"He had an informant a couple years back, one that knows you better than anybody else".
-"Who would that be, we would have known if somebody we knew was spilling information about us to demons."
-"And also if he knows us so well then why are you saying that he can't kill us, it would probably give him an advantage to know us so well" argued Phoebe.
-"I did not say that he could not kill all of you, I said that he could not kill some of you."
-"He can't kill you Phoebe, or Piper. Because of a spell, but he should not have a problem killing Paige or Billy. But until he can get past that spell he is not going to try, he's too careful for that" continued the elder.
-This got the girl's attention. "What spell", exclaimed Piper.
-"A spell that was cast by this informant before he captured her, a protection spell".
-"What kind of person would cast a spell to protect us and then give information to a demon that could get us kill", continued Piper.
-"The information was not given up willingly, Darius got it out by tortur when he was trying to get her to cancel the spell so he could kill the both of you".
-"Who would do that, who would go through torture just to protect us and what does this have to do with anything", Phoebe was getting tired of all of this, but she had no idea how what the elder was going to say next would affect her life.
-"The informant, it's , hummm, it's your sister, it's Prudence and you need to know because you are going to need her help to vanquish him, she…", he could not finish his sentence Piper interrupted him.
