It was nighttime and Piper was in the kitchen cooking, when Phoebe walked in. She sat down at the counter, her head in her hand.
"Okay… Almost done. Wait, do you she's allergic to anything?" Piper asked.
"No, hope not."
"Phoebe, you'll be home tonight right? Because I'm going to be at the club tonight."
"Yeah, no problem."
"Good. Tell Paige and Dee dinner's ready."
"K."
Phoebe walked to Paige room and Dee's room and told them. About two minutes later, Paige came walking into the dining room.
"Where's Dee?"
Moments later, she shimmered downstairs, as if in mid walk, and sat down.
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Hello"
"Hi"
The moment of silence was extremely uncomfortable. Everyone just sat there looking at one another, trying to think of something to say until Dee broke the silence.
"Soo… when you guys said dinner, did you mean food, or sitting in silence?"
"Uh, food of course." Piper replied, "Ok, so tonight Phoebe will be here, and Paige will be?"
"Here…" Paige said.
"I was thinking of going to go to a club tonight. You know, get some fresh air." Dee announced.
All three sisters looked up at Dee, and then looked at Piper. They knew that that wouldn't be possible, considering there was too much evil running around after her.
"Oh, nooo. No. I can see danger written all over this. You've got to be kidding me. I'm sorry but no."
"But Piper…" Dee began to protest.
"Nope."
"Well… what am I going to do all night?"
"You could study spells and potions, you know, like witches usually do."
"You just have fun don't you?"
"Yeah, vanquishing demons…"
"PIPER!" Phoebe yelled, trying to interrupt the rising feud. "Don't you have to be at work by 9, because it's 8:30."
"Yeah, I do. I'll be back late tonight." Piper got up to leave. "Bye."
Piper glared evilly at Dee, and left. Phoebe and Paige looked at each other probing for something to say. Phoebe finally spoke up.
"You know, Piper's right. It is too dangerous. But umm… Paige and I are here all night."
"I know, but I think I'd rather just stay upstairs, in my room, alone."
"Hey, don't think of hopping out the window. I can scry for you."
"Heh, yeah… I'll be upstairs."
Dee stood up, pushed in her chair, and shimmered upstairs. Paige and Phoebe looked at each other, wondering if they had done the right thing.
"Do you think she'll leave anyway?"
"I don't know Paige, I hope not though. If she does, and Piper finds out, we're going to have to protect her from Piper, more so than demons."
"Yeah…"
About 3 hours later, Phoebe was walking towards Dee's room to check in her. She had been very quiet, and hadn't come back down the entire night. Phoebe was starting to suspect that she had snuck out the window. As she was heading down the hall, a demon shimmered in and grabbed her.
"Paige!!"
Phoebe had managed to yell out before she was knocked unconscious. Paige came running into the hall to see Phoebe being held up by a demon. Dee was also startled by the scream and also ran into the hallway. Three more demons had showed up and one was now holding down Paige. Dee had charged up a fireball when someone had yelled stop. Dee's face went blank, as the demon who had yelled, stepped forward.
"Dad?"
"So you do know me…"
"Sure, only as Shabneth though. Or should it be father?"
The fireball had disappeared from Dee's hand. She stood there in a minor shock. Phoebe was just lying there motionless. A demon shimmered behind Dee and grabbed her.
"Don't even think about fighting or one of these witches die. We wouldn't want that would we?"
"Well aren't you father of the year. You show up once in a while, and for what? To kidnap me. What a great dad you are."
"Shut up! Just shut her up, and let's go."
The demon holding Dee, shoot a low energy ball into Dee's back. Dee dropped to the ground.
"Noo!!"
"Shut up witch!"
Paige then orbed out of the hold of the demon, and reappeared about four feet away. It was too late though. The demon had picked up Dee and shimmered away. Shabneth shot a energy ball at Paige, hitting her in the arm, and shimmered away.
"Phoebe? PHOEBE!? LEO! LEO!!"
Leo orbed down next to Phoebe.
"My god, what happened?"
"Some demons showed up, knocked Phoebe unconscious, and took Dee. Then Dee's father, I think his name is Shabneth, shot an energy ball at me."
The demon had hit Phoebe over the head, and the cut was trickling blood. Leo healed Phoebe head, and then began to heal Paige. Phoebe came around.
"Where's Dee?" Phoebe asked, slowly sitting up.
"They took her." Paige replied, kind of grimly
"This is not good. Dee's father is involved? Not good at all. This is why we gave her to you guys. So she'd be protected." Leo said, helping Phoebe stand up.
"That's not helping Leo. Do you think we don't feel guilty enough? What do we do now?"
"Ok… We have about 24hours to find Dee before it's too late. Call Piper, and I'll go talk to the elders."
With Paige and Phoebe fully healed, Leo orbed away. Phoebe jogged downstairs and called Piper, who arrived home about fifteen minutes later.
