Hey guys! So so so sorry for the long wait! I've been feeling really light headed and dizzy, and I have some pains just about under my stomach and in my stomach (if that makes sense cuz I'm not a sciencey person).

I had after school detention on Monday, then another lunchtime detention yesterday. And I got threatened with another detention today :) My life is so goooood.

Saw my newborn cousin over the Easter holidays. She's soo cute but she cries too much. (I'm not exaggerating here, she cries more than babies usually do). She's a month old. :)

P.s. If any of you read my other fanfic 'It all started with', I haven't given up, but it's gonna take me some time to update, so please be patient. I will update it eventually, I'm not a quitter, but you have to be patient here.

I've also got a new fanfic I've been writing on….PAPER! at the dead of night too. Good thing there's no school and I get to sleep in. It comforts me to know that other people have to go to work whilst I sleep (only kidding). Oh and it's a charmed fanfic btw. I've written like 3 chapters of it already, but I'm gonna try finish it before I post it (good luck with that ha).

So with further ado….

Chapter 14 – The Usual Suspects

Phoebe's POV:

I made my way to the living room to this 'special and super important' meeting.

"All right, what's so important that you had to drag me away from Billy." I announced, as I burst in through the room. Leo's face went blank and confused, as Paige eyed me strangely, whilst Piper tried to maintain her laughter at her husband's clueless face.

"Billy?" Leo asked.

"Kill It Before It Dies." Piper said.

"Naturally." Paige commented, finally getting the drift.

"Kill who before they die?" Leo asked as we all just laughed.

"Wait…how can you kill it before it dies? That makes no sense, and who do we have to kill?" Leo urged.

"It's a movie, honey." Piper replied, smirking.

"Oh." Leo answered, feeling pretty stupid.

"So, on with this meeting." I insisted, plopping myself on the chair. Piper and Paige were on the opposite, bigger chair, whilst the Book of Shadows lay across the coffee table, as Leo was perched on the arm of the chair.

"Well, the elders are concerned that a great force has gotten too close to you guys and they hold a great threat and potentially unimaginable powers."

"Oh great. Another 'threat' hell-bent on vanquishing the Charmed Ones." I sighed.

"Not you three…Jack."

I gasped loudly in shock.

"W-why?"

"Why else? To use him. Rule the underworld alongside him or to take his powers."

"What powers? He barely has any."

"He's still very powerful, Phoebe."

"Who is it?"

"That's the thing. They don't know who or what may be after him. But they fear it might be someone close to us or posing as someone close to us. That's why you need to be really careful on who you let in and stuff."

"What about this guy?" Paige asked, pointing to a demon in the Book of Shadows. He had a creepy face and jet-black hair. In the description, it said that he 'seeks nothing but power and is known to double-cross. He will stop at nothing to get power and uses clever tactics to get what he wants.'

"Or this guy." Leo pointed to a demon with long, dark hair up to his shoulders, with bulging eyes and an intricate mark running up his arm, on the opposite page. 'Is known to befriend his victims first before brutally murdering them to steal their powers.'

"Let's check them both out. How about, me and Leo take bulgy eyes, and you and Paige take creepy face."

I gave her a look.

"What? We each need someone to orb us, and Leo is my husband, so I will take him, thank you very much." She snapped.

"Woah! Calm down, Piper, I didn't even say anything!" I replied, holding my hands up as if to surrender.

Paige closed the Book and orbed it back to the attic.

"Paige, we need the vanquishing potions." I said.

"Already ahead of you. Whilst you children were 'arguing', I wrote down the potion we needed." She smiled, proudly.

Soon enough, the potions were ready.

"Okay, but don't we need to get them talking first? I mean what if they aren't the threat, but they could know something? How are we gonna do that? I'm guessing they won't exactly be jumping to tell us." I asked, realising the full picture.

"Good point, we'll give them an intervention. We'll probably need crystals. So it'll be better if we do it in the Manor." Leo said.

"We need the summoning spells." Piper said.

"I'll check." Paige orbed to the attic, as we made our way there ourselves.

"No spell. There's no spell to summon any of them." Paige complained, as we reached the attic, to find her furiously eyeing the pages of the Book very carefully.

"Then we'll just have to make our own." I replied.

I grabbed some paper and a pen and scribbled, furiously all over. After minutes of rhyming, I finally came up with a spell for each demon.

"Who's first?"

"Bulgy eyes." Piper said with a wicked grin.

We pulled up a table to shield us from any surprise attacks. Paige set up the crystals, making sure she left out one of them. We chanted the spell for this demon and with a gust of wind, a very confused bulgy-eyed demon appeared.

"Now!"

Paige orbed the last crystal in place, and it electrocuted the demon, making him collapse to the floor in pain. He was helpless. We ran over to him, Paige removed the crystal, as the demon panted.

"Are you the demon after my son?" I asked, deciding to just get to the point.

"What are you talking about?" He whimpered.

"My son. You know the prodigy. Son of a Charmed One and the ex-source of all evil. What you demons think would be the future ruler of the underworld."

"Oh, the prodigal child."

"Are you?"

"Everyone's after him." He answered as Paige placed the crystal back to shock him again, hoping he'd come to his senses.

"Okay, okay. No. I'm not the one after him."

"Are you sure, buddy?" Paige asked, shocking him once more.

"Yes!"

Paige threatened to shock him again.

"But I may know who is after him." He interrupted.

"Who?"

"Ah. A great demon. A friend, but also a foe."

"Get to the point."

"My, my. He must really be as powerful and cunning as they say to be right under you noses."

"Ugh!" Paige slammed down the crystal, and held it there, as the demon erupted into spasms.

"Wait. It's -" The demon tried to yell, before he erupted into flames and disappeared, leaving a scorch mark on the carpet.

"Paige!" Me, Piper and Leo scolded.

"What?"

"He was just about to tell us, that's what!" I sighed.

"Sorry."

We quickly moved onto the next demon. He was less willing to give out any information, despite the pain, so I figured he was quite close to this 'threat'.

"You're not getting anything from me, witch." He spat, just as Paige smashed the crystal down, he screamed and writhed in pain.

"Care to try again?" She asked, lifting it back up.

"I'd rather die."

"Fine by me." Paige slammed it down again and again, they watched as he burned, screaming. They didn't miss the evil glint in his eyes, as if he had won. And at that point, they felt that he had.

"Well, we got nothing." Piper sighed.

"No we don't." Leo replied as we all stared up at him, confused and eager for him to do that thing where he suddenly reveals all.

"The first demon gave us a starter. He said it was someone with the name beginning with 'Baa'."

"Honey, I think he was just screaming. It was definitely the letter 'b', but I'm positive that he was just screaming." Piper replied.

"So we check the book for anything beginning with 'B'" I said.

"This is gonna be one hell of a long night." Paige sighed.
