Phoebe, Cole and Paige sat at the kitchen table, late at night, with cups
of coffee. "He was a brother of mine. You know, the brotherhood that
dedicated their life to the Source. We were best friends, the best we could
ever be. He was always partly good. Never that bad, and then one day, we
were on a mission, when he was killed. He died in my hands."
"So what is he a ghost?" Paige asked, very confused.
"No, he was real. I can always tell real demon from ghost demon. Besides, all demons and warlocks go to the wasteland or hell, when they die. I am guessing that he faked his death in order to get out of the Brotherhood. He never liked it that much. He preferred to be independent."
"What about his brothers?" asked Phoebe.
"From my latest news, his middle brother, Zelantos, who is also after Sam, killed the oldest brother, Zarbos. Zelantos has always been jealous of his brothers, and finally got revenge on Zarbos. Loki's brothers were too in the brotherhood, but then disappeared after awhile. I haven't heard of them ever since. I'm thinking that Loki is Zelantos' next target."
Phoebe thought for a moment. "Loki..Yeah! I knew I heard of that name somewhere. I read about the three brothers in the Book of Shadows. Now that the Source is vanquished and the three evil 'charmed' ones are gone, that made them the next most powerful evil beings in the world. But, it didn't say anything on how to beat them."
Paige sighed. "We're in for a rough road, aren't we?"
**** "You are going to pay for what you have done, you 'charmed' ones. I am going to kill you all!" the man screamed. Sam tried to help her mom and her aunts fight but she had no more powers. Trying to get Sam, Piper rushed over to her but was blown away by an electric forcefield. Phoebe kicked the guy and Paige orbed a dagger and threw it to him, but it didn't work. Piper got up and tried another time, when the demon wasn't looking. "I'm coming!" she screamed, but the man turned around, grabbed the dagger that was in his and flew it to Piper so it stabbed her in the heart.
"NO!" Sam screamed as she sat up in her bed and opened her eyes only to find her room again, and her Mom and Dad taking a nap on the floor. "Oh man." She muttered. "I got attacked again." She said.
Piper suddenly woke up to her scream and saw Sam sitting up. "Oh god, my baby, are you ok?" she screamed as she kicked Leo to wake him up. Sam nodded. "I'm ok. But, I kinda feel weak. I can't believe this happened again. I can feel it. All my powers are gone. I can't feel a thing." She said as she shook her head. She tried using her powers, but her theory was right. None of her powers were left. Piper looked really worried. "All your powers are gone..." She said as she shook her head. Sam tried to stand up but instead she fell for she had no energy left and was really weak.
Leo and Piper picked her up and put her back in her bed. "Hey, you are staying in bed. You need to build your energy back up. We're going to go downstairs ok? You just call if you need anything and scream if you feel any pains or if a demon is in you room." Piper said in a calm voice. "Sure, ok." She said, devastated for losing her powers. Leo and Piper walked out of the room and went downstairs to the kitchen.
"Sam's awake." Piper said in a very sleepy voice, and she rubbed her eyes and poured herself a cup of coffee. "She doing ok?" Cole asked. Piper laid her head on Leo's shoulder. "Well, she's very weak, her powers are gone. The slate was wiped clean." He said.
"Oh my god! All of them?"
"Loki must of sucked out every single drop. She's really lucky to be alive."
"We know that. She's in her room right now. I can barely look at her, because she looks so helpless, so weak." Piper said, holding back her tears.
"Without her powers, she's in even MORE danger. Now, she's just a..a...mortal."
"We know who we're up against, but...we don't know how to beat them." Phoebe stated. Piper grunted. "Man, this totally sucks. Ever since she was born, every single freakin warlock in the world has wanted her powers. She's in more danger than she thinks she is." Paige looked at Piper confused. "Piper, what's wrong? You're usually not like this."
Sam crept out of bed, and found the strength to climb down the stairs to her family. She saw them sitting all at the kitchen table and she could smell the sweet aroma of coffee in the air. She was quiet and she stood outside of the door. Her heart dropped when she heard her mother talking.
"Sometimes, I just wish that...I had a vacation of some sort. All these years of trying to protect her and us, sometimes I get so sick of it. I keep wondering how much danger she is in and I am in and you guys are in, and then wonder what it would be like if she was never born. How much danger we would be in then you know?" she said. "Never really thought about it." Leo said.
Sam was in the doorway, crushed by what her parents had said. Cole and Phoebe spotted her first, since Piper and Leo's back were turned from her. Phoebe automatically read the hurt expression on Sam's face. "Oh, hon." Piper turned around and saw Sam and she realized what she had just done.
Sam tried to run upstairs, but she was too weak so it turned into a slow jog. She tripped on her way to her room. Piper and Leo ran after her. "Honey, come on. I didn't really mean it that way." She called. But Sam didn't stop to listen. She got to her room and locked the door. Piper and Leo banged on the door. "Sam!" Leo called.
Sam lay on her bed crying. "Geez, if I get them into so 'much' danger, why'd they have me." She covered her ears with her pillow so the banging on the doors would stop ringing in her head. "Honey, please. We just want to talk." Piper called. "Maybe you shouldn't. I might get you in more danger. Don't want that!" Sam said in a sarcastic voice and choked through her tears.
Phoebe, Cole, and Paige still sat at the table. Phoebe rubbed her head. "Boy, this isn't going right at all is it?" Paige said. Cole got up. "I think maybe I should go. You probably had enough of me for one day." Phoebe stopped him and pulled him back down. "Please, stay here." Cole glanced at Paige, who read his mind and shrugged. So, he sat back down.
Piper and Leo were still at Sam's door. "Please, Sam. You know you are my life. I don't know what I could ever do without you. For so long, your dad and I have been praying so long for you. I didn't really mean what I said. I was just concerned about your safety. I would never want anything to happen to you."
There was no answer. Inside, a large man, also known as Zelantos, held Sam's mouth with his large muscular hand. Sam tried to scream, but they only came out as muffled voices. Zelantos held her tight, and he used on of his powers, to throw Piper off. "Okay Mom, I forgive you, now can I just get some sleep please? I'm really tired." He said, disguising his voice so it sounded exactly like Sam's.
Piper was surprised, and so was Leo. "Honey, are you ok?" she asked suspiciously. "Yeah, Mom. I'll be ok, really. I just need to get some rest. I think I need some sleep if we are going to battle demons tomorrow. I think I am also going to practice my powers too. Have to be really strong if we want to beat them right?" Zelantos said unaware that Loki had already taken her powers. Sam tried to let out another scream, but Zelantos' hand was over her mouth so hard, that she was even having a hard time breathing.
Piper realized that it couldn't be Sam. It couldn't be her. "Sam knows that she doesn't have any powers...." she whispered. "Oh my god, Leo, call Phoebe and everyone. Something's wrong." Leo nodded and orbed downstairs. Piper tried to stall a little more.
"I think I should come over there and check how you are doing..." She said as she heard everyone racing up the stairs. She saw Phoebe with a credit card in her hand and slipped it into the door and was unlocking the door. "Oh no. That's really ok! I'll orb to you guys downstairs if I need anything!"
Then, Phoebe burst the door open, and Zelantos was shocked. They saw him with Sam in his big arms, her eyes wide open, trying to breathe. "SAM!" Piper screamed. Cole came in and blasted an energy ball at him. But Zelantos blocked it. Piper tried exploding him and freezing him but all he did was laugh. "Excuse me but I have to leave." He said shimmering away.
"NO! SAM!!!! COME BACK!!" Piper screamed as she ran to the demon, but went right through him and crashed into the wall as he disappeared. Leo tried to catch him as well but failed. "NO! SAM!!!!" he screamed. "COME BACK HERE YOU INGRATE!!!!" he called. Piper leaned against the wall, crying.
Paige and Phoebe looked at each other. "What are we gonna do now..."
"So what is he a ghost?" Paige asked, very confused.
"No, he was real. I can always tell real demon from ghost demon. Besides, all demons and warlocks go to the wasteland or hell, when they die. I am guessing that he faked his death in order to get out of the Brotherhood. He never liked it that much. He preferred to be independent."
