-1Chapter 2 - Is Time's Running Out?
Piper and Phoebe were up in the attic flicking through the book of shadows. Phoebe gave a big sigh and said,
"There's a ton of demons, a load of warlocks and a lot of other creatures, but none of then can control time. Any luck with the scrying?"
"I think it would be easier if I knew what I was actually scrying for Pheebz?" replied Piper.
"Ok, ok, I'm trying my hardest!"
Just as Phoebe had finished a gust of wind whipped round the attic flipping the pages of the book violently. When the wind stopped and the pages came to rest Phoebe realised that there was a warlock who had the power to manipulate time.
"Hey Piper, come here, look at this!" yelled Phoebe.
Piper walked over from her map to the stand that help up the book of shadows.
"What is it…" Piper looked at the book, "Thank god, do you think that's are man?"
"There's only one way to find out," replied Phoebe, "There's a spell to summon him…shall we give him a call?"
"Let me see if Paige has that potion ready , we may need it." said Piper as she headed for the door.
As Piper reached down stairs she heard a all-mighty bang and saw wisps off smoke coming from under the kitchen door. Piper rushed over and slammed open the kitchen door in alarm. Paige was by the oven coughing because of the smoke and waving her arms trying to clear the air around her.
"No time to explain what happened," chocked Piper, "have you finished the potion?"
"Yep, just this minute finished it," answered Paige, who by now had managed to clear the air around her from smoke, "Have you found our guy? Lady? Thing?"
"Guy…and yes so come on!"
The two of them rushed back up stairs, Paige gripping the bottle of potion tightly. They entered the attic to find Phoebe setting up a crystal cage.
"Ready?" asked Paige to Phoebe.
"Ready." replied Phoebe.
'Search through time,
Search through space,
Bring the warlock Barok,
Here in this very place!'
As the sisters read the spell a vortex of light appeared.
"Now Phoebe!" shouted Piper.
Phoebe placed the final crystal in place and blinding beams of light shot up to trap the forming warlock in place. He vanished. So did the crystal cage, and the potion….and so had……PAIGE!
"Um, um," stuttered Phoebe, " Where did that warlock go?"
"Warlock! WARLOCK!" screamed Piper, " Paige has just vanished and all u care about is the WARLOCK!"
Phoebe was almost in tears, Piper and her had already lost one sister to magic and Phoebe's true fear was losing another!
"Don't cry Pheebz," whispered Piper trying to comfort Phoebe, "She's goning to be fine, you know how strong she is."
Just as Piper finished speaking sparks started to fly and another vortex appear and in a blink of an eye Piper vanished.
"Piper! PIPER!" Phoebe screamed through tears.
She crawled over to the corner of the attic on her way grabbing her old stuffed bear. She sat in the corner, knees to her chest, rocking softly back and forth. Then another vortex appeared and Phoebe also vanished!
