Another Week Another Demon
a/n: Back to the actual story now. Hope that last chapter cleared up some loose ends for you. The word for this chapter is Mango. Enjoy! :)
Chapter 4
Piper seen the blue orbs emanating from behind the two demons that had taken her. They were so clueless that they hadn't even noticed that the others were standing there. Piper kept her mouth shut, not wanting her family to get hurt trying to save her. The lazarus noticed a shadow coming from behind him reflecting on to the wall. "What, how did you find us?" He asked stupidly.
"What does it matter, they're here now." X said worried for himself.
Phoebe and Paige engaged in a battle with the demons as Leo went to untie Piper's hands. "Honey, are you okay?" He asked her.
"Better now that your here." Piper answered. Leo held her close as Phoebe and Paige were still fighting. "Girls get out of the way." Piper said. Piper froze them. "Is there a spell to vanquish them?" She asked. Paige reached into her pocket and pulled out a slip of paper that had the spell written on it. The sisters said the spell and the demon was gone. Now they only had to concentrate on the Lazarus demon that had started this mess in the first place, unfortunately for the sisters that meant having him buried in a cemetery. Piper blew him up and he turned into a pile of ashes. Paige quickly orbed his ashes into a cardboard box they had found. Then she orbed out.
Paige arrived at the cemetery. She quickly used more magic to dig a hole before putting the lazarus remains in the hole. "It's not ceremonial, but at least it's gone." She said before orbing back to the hospital where Leo had taken Piper as she hadn't yet been permitted to leave by her doctor.
At the hospital everyone was surrounding Piper. "Hey guys." Paige said as she materialised.
"Did you bury the lazerus?" Piper asked.
"Yeah, he is in the cemetery and hopefully hell too." Paige answered.
"I'll drink to that." Phoebe said. Picking up her bottle of orange juice. The others followed her lead and picked up their drinks as well, other than Paige who hadn't arrived when they had got them.
The next day Piper was allowed to go home with the promise of not putting herself under too much stress. Which she didn't really have to worry about considering her condition and the protective nature of her family. It was then that she remembered something important, Piper was supposed to be talking to her client from Pasadena about getting access to the INS. "Guys, I just remembered that I have to work tonight." Piper said as they all sat in the living room.
"Piper the stars will still be there tomorrow." Paige commented shaking her head. Piper shook her head.
"Most of them yes, but not in the same place. And it was a meeting a client has come all the way from Pasadena just to work on some nebula thing with me." Piper complained.
"Piper, you just got out of the hospital. You are lucky that we haven't got you on the sofa because you refuse to relax." Phoebe cut in. "Sorry but you aren't going to work."
"I guess I can reschedule until tomorrow, but i will need someone to drive me there."
"We should get you a carer or something." Paige said.
"I don't need a carer, we have had this conversation." Piper said with determination before leaving the room.
"I think you upset her a little." Phoebe commented as Piper left to go into the kitchen.
Paige followed her. "Piper, I'm sorry. I know you don't want a carer and it is impractical." Paige apologised. "I was just speaking out of concern for you."
"I know and I'm sorry too. I over reacted." Piper responded.
"If it would help. I could drive you to your meeting I will even wait outside and drive you home again." Paige offered.
"I guess I better get my coat on then." Piper said and left the kitchen again. She stopped. "Hey Paige, thanks."
"For what?"
"Letting me have more independence." Piper responded before continuing.
Piper and Paige happily went into the car together and drove off.
They drove down the streets of San Francisco until they reached the university. Piper checked her watch. "Paige, have you ever seen what an actual physics lab looks like?" She asked the younger sibling.
"No, can I?" Paige responded.
"Yes you can I still have an hour anyway." Piper replied. Paige helped her out of the car and the two sisters went inside the university together. Piper seen this is a rare opportunity to bond with her sister through science instead of magic and Paige seen this as a rare opportunity to learn more about what her sister does for a living.
They enjoyed the hour they had to themselves and then the partner that Piper had been working with was delighted to meet Paige as well. So in the end everyone was happy with the way the day had went.
a/n: The End. Sorry this update took ages tbh. At least it's finished now.
