The girls spent the rest of the day studying the sign,and luckily they found out that this was exactly what they were looking for. It corresponded to what they had been told by the elders. The pentacle would've rapresented the 5 witches,and the cyrcle was there,maybe having something to do with them. They now needed to find where the other demons were,then they would've taken their first step into the true battle,which had been started by those crazy demons out there. She could see her worries growing everyday,but she still held onto hope. Things were going fine with the reparation of the house,the lower floor seemed to be on the verge to be finished and they had even managed to recover a couple of the things which were an important part of their lives. They hadn't tried to get to the attic,but thankfully Leo seemed to have recovered what he had been able to and he had promised they would've soon been given those things back. Meanwhile saturday and sunday had gone by and scrying had brought them to nothing. Leo had reassured them saying that maybe they were not on the earth and that was why they hadn't found them yet. So there had also been no more attacks since friday. Meanwhile monday was passing by fine for Prue. She had been let out of school early and had even had the time for a little friendly date with Andy, Phoebe had called up saying she would've stayed out just a little bit more,and Paige was home with her and Andy. Piper would've been back soon.
Phoebe was a good girl,really. She was quite incapable of having ill feelings for anyone,and it was rare for her to do these things,but lately,right after the death of her grandmother she had been feeling quite lost. She was so glad about having found out to be a witch. It was like having some part of her mother and grams there again,it was almost knowing them better than she truly had. And yet she couldn't seem todrop the little habits she had picked up lately. She didn't want to have them. Shop lifting and smoking,even drinking sometimes. For God's sake she wasn't even of age. Moreover she wanted to be a witch because she felt as if she were slipping into a winding road. It would almost have felt better to be constantly bullied like Piper,or have any other kind of problem. Prue was trying so hard to raise them up,and she could understand if sometimes she would be away for too long. Being witches had allowed them to not only be even closer than usual,but see her more. They were so busy that Prue wasn't even caring about her part-time job anymore. Hence she would surely soon be fired. It didn't feel right that she would be the only one to work hard,and through shoplifting she could've surely earned something too. Knowing the mall by memory,every evening she would go there with some of her friends and do the job. Easy and quick money. It couldn't have been otherwhise.
Prue had been scrying for a good ten minutes,but had obtained nothing,the thing wouldn't just drop. She was about to raise herself up and just send the whole thing graciously to hell,when suddenly the scrying stonenfell on the globe sitting on the table.
"Bingo"
She smiled and laid down on the chair,then looked at the globe,being curious about where it might have fallen,but she was left mouth agape.
Once again Piper found herself sitting alone out of school. Her last hour had just ended and she was supposed to come back home for lunch and yet she couldn't find the will to. It was not she didn't love being at home,even if it wasn't the Manor,but once again she was ashamed about being the main victim of all the stupid pranks of the jocks and cheerleaders and the wrongest thing was that Prue knew nothing about it. You'd think she could've noticed,but she hadn't and that was because they were very good at playing their pranks out. They would mostly come to her when her big sister wasn't at school,or was somewhere else completely. Sometimes it would all be about making her drop her books,stealing her glasses or hiding her things. But the worst thing was that nobody was truly her friend,even the others like her would usually avoid her. She would've liked to tell Prue everything,since she was the captain of the cheerleaders,and everytime she was about to say it she would just take a step back and think about how Prue was busy with raising them up,and making sure to keep them all together and didn't need to be burdened with her problems too.
Prue had been left surprised by the destination and wanted to reveal it to the others,but she would've had to wait for Phoebe,so meanwhile she decided she decided to go get Piper from school,taking Paige with herself. Things finally seemed to look up for them.
