Back at the Manor
A curious Darryl was questioning Paige as he tried to learn as much as he could about the new Halliwell sister. Finally Sheila came to Paige's rescue and convinced her husband that it was time to go home. Having over heard the other three sisters and Leo discussing what they needed to do next, had made her realise that staying may not be the safest option. Demons, vanquishing and other similar topics had filled their discussion. One particular demon, called the Source of all Evil, in particular sounded especially dangerous.
"Thank you so much for your help" Prue said to Darryl and Sheila, "and thank you for the visit. Please come again, hopefully when it is quieter". Turning to Sheila, she added, "Please don't think this happens all the time, most of the time its actually quite quiet here".
With a wave, both Darryl and Sheila, left.
"That was handy that they were on their way to visit, today of all days" commented Piper.
"It was probably not a coincidence" Leo answered, "the Angel of Destiny probably arranged it so that we had time to tidy up before the Police arrived".
Phoebe spoke up "After all thats been going on, I want to check up on Cole, I still haven't heard from him". Prue after carefully considering the worry she could hear in Phoebe's voice, realised that this was something that Phoebe needed to do. However there was still the ever present danger of a demon attack and protecting Paige to consider.
"We need to deal with Belthazor, he's still out there and now we have the potion to vanquish him" said Piper, "and Prue said she could find him". This gave Prue an idea on how to deal with Phoebe's concern.
"I am using the one we called Melinda from the past with, just rewrote it a little bit. It should work, its magic calling magic, altho in this case dark magic." replied Prue, "and Paige could give us a hand. It would give us the Power of three. And Leo, could you go with Phoebe to check up on Cole, if anything goes wrong, then you could orb her back here."
Prue had to warn Phoebe, "Please don't take this out on me, I am not the bad guy" she said. "I know, I would just like some understanding, some support here". Aware the Paige was watching Prue replied "I can't support you when I think you are just setting your self up to get hurt. I have to be honest with you, we have to be honest with each other, its the promise that we made when Belthazor tried to split us apart, remember".
Phoebe raised her head to look at Prue and said "Yeah, It just doesn't help that you never really liked Cole from the beginning". With a smile appearing on her face, Prue replied "Well you never ever liked my boyfriends either". Also smiling, Phoebe replied "Thats very true" as Prue reached out with one hand to hold Phoebe's and give support.
Phoebe smiled but that was replaced with a guilty look as Prue added "Only this time, please don't get another parking ticket". "Oops, sorry, I will pay it" as she turned to grab her jacket. Dragging Leo with her, she headed for the front door. Piper called out "Phoebe, wait up" as she entered the hall. As Phoebe paused, Piper handed her and Leo one of the purple potion bottles each and added "just in case".
Belthazor
Cole staggered into a steam filled alley, weak and bleeding, he tried to bandage the wound, but lacked the strength to even rip his shirt, Changing to Belthazor, he easily tore the shirt but movement further down the alley meant that he had to run. There was only one place left now. Meanwhile, a skinny, poorly dressed vagrant, almost ran after catching a glimpse of Belthazor, but he spotted a large coat lying on the ground. Picking it up, he realised that this would keep him warm for a long time.
