Wicked 2- A New Kill
Phoebe's mind raced with all the new information from her visions, she was with Beltazar, and Beltazar was there! Miranda had betrayed her. She looked around frantically, she definitely couldn't premonition Beltazar to death, she needed something to fight with. She felt tears erupt from her eyes, after everything, was this how it was going to end?
The power of three, it was like someone was whispering to her, in a soothing voice.
"The power of three is gone!" Phoebe yelled to no one, "It died when Prue died!"
It's inside you; it was always inside you, the voice responded, only a soft song of words.
"Oh…kay… how to I get that power?" Phoebe asked annoyed
Let it come, she suddenly felt the presence of the voice leaving.
"No! Don't go! Tell me how!" Phoebe yelled but knew it was gone. She slid against a bookcase feeling tears erupt from her eyes, and in a way she realized she was ready to die. At least she wouldn't have to live like this anymore, pathetic. Pathetic, that word hung in her mind, pathetic, pathetic, PATHETIC!
"I am not pathetic," she suddenly told herself, "I am not pathetic"
Loud footsteps startled her from outside the door and she knew her time was growing thin. She closed her eyes and let her breathing slow, the waves of power turned to ribbons around her.
Suddenly a vision broke through to her.
"Piper!" she jumped up, knowing now what was happening. This had been a trap, and so had the premonitions. She broke into a run, banging on the door when she came to it. "Open damn it!" she hit it but it wouldn't budge.
An atheme sat at the side of the alter and Phoebe grabbed it, holding it firmly between her hands, she began to chop down the door. Sweat broke out on her forehead after a long time, yet she continued. Soon she saw the other side, laughing a bit in relief she continued. "I'm getting out of here and I'm going to kill me a demon," she sang to herself, "I'm getting out of-" she froze. A smell reached her nose, a strong, repulsive smell. "Okay I'm getting out now," backing up far enough, she ran to the door, kicking where the weak wood was, the door fell down, exposing a horrid sight. There were scorch marks left a long the wall, and the smell was from the flesh of the women of the coven being burned by Beltazar's attack. Miranda's body was off to the side, blood pouring from her body. Phoebe stopped to stare for a minute, Miranda was dead, and she felt…nothing. She wasn't in the least bit sad, or felt guilty.
With the atheme Phoebe drove up to the Manor after stealing Miranda's keys, she just hoped Piper was still alive.
"Piper!" Phoebe screamed throughout the house, "Piper where are you!" Phoebe ran upstairs, checking rooms for her older sister; a loud crash from downstairs made her run back to the kitchen. A dark figure that stood in the corner broke for a run to the door,
"I've got you Belta-" Phoebe tackled the figure to the floor, "what the hell?"
"I'm sorry!" The girl cried, "I-I got lost!"
Phoebe stood up pulling the girl up with her, turning on the light to get a better look. A girl only 2 years younger, at most, then herself stood in front of her, a dark brunette or black haired girl with braces, was holding her jewelry.
"Give me that!" Phoebe snatched
"Sure, yeah sure, whatever, of course, have it! I'll be leaving now..." the girl began to run again but Phoebe threw her to the floor in seconds. The girl hit the floor slapping her face against a bunch of stuff thrown across the ground,
"Ow!" the girl yelled, "God, what the hell are you a wrestler?"
"Kick boxer actually," Phoebe answered grinning, "Now-what the hell are you doing in my house?"
"Stealing what does it look like?" the girl said angrily
"Oh so I'll call the cops on you then," Phoebe picked up the phone
"No don't" The girl jumped up snatching the phone
"What? You're going to tell me, not to use my phone?"
"Please," the girl pleaded, "I-I'll give it all back" she reached into her pocket pulling out a hand full of gold and silver
"Cash too," Phoebe said knowingly
"What cash? Oh fine," she reached into her other pocket puling out a wad of cash, "Hey what's that?"
Phoebe turned, looking to where she was pointing. The Book of Shadows sat open on the table, Phoebe broke into a run for it but the girl grabbed it first.
"Beltazar-eww talk about sunburn," she flipped through pages, "Banshee, Seer, Grimlocks, what the hell is this?"
Phoebe grabbed for the book, desperate to pry it from her grasp but the girl turned away, still holding it tightly.
"It's a book of witchcraft!" the girl yelled she suddenly began to laugh, "For those who want the truth revealed, opened hearts and secrets unsealed. From now until it's now again, after which the memory ends. Those who now are in this house, will hear the truth from other's mouths."
"Stop!" Phoebe snatched the book from the girl, "I am calling the cops!"
"I'll call the nut-house!" the girl laughed loudly, "What you think you're a witch?"
"Yes," Phoebe answered picking up the phone
"Please no!" the girl pleaded, "Please! I'll do anything, just don't call the cops!"
Phoebe stopped for a minute, "fine. What's your name?"
"Paige Matthews"
"Do you have anymore of my stuff?"
"Yes I've been coming to this house every night for the last week," she grabbed her mouth
"You what?" Phoebe yelled
"I've been coming to this house every night for the last week," the girl, Paige, repeated although it was clear she didn't want to
"Oh my god," Phoebe realized, "The spell worked"
"Excuse me?"
"Oh my god the spell worked," Phoebe repeated automatically, "Stop that!"
"Stop what?"
"Asking questions!"
"Why?" Paige grinned
"Because obviously you're a witch and when you took the Book of Shadows the spell you said aloud worked and now every question we ask each other or anyone else, we get the truth, we can't lie," Phoebe said trying to stop herself
"Really?"
"Yes," Phoebe sighed very tired
"I'm going to use this," Paige began to walk away but Phoebe grabbed her
"Did you know you were a witch?"
"No"
"Are you working against me?"
"If you call stealing working against you then yes"
"Besides being a frieking theif!"
"Then no"
"I just thought of a way for you to repay me," Phoebe smiled.
