Chapter 20: Never trust a demon

Paige had woken up after a few minutes. She was in even worse condition then before she passed out. Paige was dying and the process just seemed to speed up the more she was using her powers and she was using them a lot. Paige still hadn't opened Seth's cell. She was just standing there starring at him, wanting to make him burn all over again. It had made her happy to see him in Paige. She thought it was a small ounce of payback after what he had done to her but only an ounce, it wasn't enough, not yet.

Phoebe could see that Paige was angry. She understood but the fact still remained that if they didn't get out of there soon that Paige was going to die. She wanted to get back at Seth just as much as her but at what price. Phoebe had to try and persuade Paige to unlock Seth's cage so they could keep moving. Time was running out, time that they didn't even have.

"Paige c'mon we have to let him out and meet up with the others. We don't have a lot of time." said Phoebe.

"Why can't we leave him here?" asked Paige, "After what he did. We should let him rot here. He deserves it. Why are we just going to let him go so easily. He doesn't regret it so its not like it will be on his conscious or anything. He just going to go live the rest of his life in peace and possibly even kill us."

"I will kill you Paige. You and your sisters. I'll make you suffer more than you did before. But this time I'll kill your sisters so that they won't be able to help you." said Seth, "No one will be there to make it better this time."

Paige's hands were clenched into fists. She wanted to kill him. Phoebe had never seen Paige like this before and she was getting really worried about her. Seth wasn't helping the situation but that wasn't a surprise he was a demon after all. Phoebe knew that he was evil but she still had that tinge of remorse for him. She couldn't understand why and she hated herself for that. She guessed that it had something to do with the fact the she, at one time, had loved Seth.

"Paige don't listen to him. Look at me." ordered Phoebe.

Paige didn't. Her eyes were locked on Seth. She didn't want to look away. She wondered if she starred at him hard enough if he would burst into flames and be gone forever. She wished it worked like that. She wanted Seth to die in the most painful way possible. She didn't want apologies or excuses. None of that would fix anything or help her. She needed to see him hurt more than she been hurting, as still was.

"Paige! LOOK AT ME!" said Phoebe louder, almost yelling.

Paige finally looked at Phoebe. Phoebe could see the anger and disgust in her eyes. But underneath that was pain and fear. Phoebe just wanted to take it all away and make her feel better but she didn't know how. She was scared as well but she was trying to keep strong for both her and Paige. If she let her anger out then they would never get anything accomplished and Paige could die.

"What?" yelled Paige.

"You have to let him out. I am not going to watch you die Paige! He will pay don't listen to him. I promise that he will pay but right now we have to take care of this first. Paige you have to trust me okay." said Phoebe, "Just let him go."

Paige was furious. She couldn't believe what Phoebe was asking her to do. This guy had reaped her, made Piper crash her car, and lied and attacked Phoebe, and she wanted to let him go. Paige had never been more pissed at Phoebe. She didn't want to let him go but as always Phoebe just couldn't fully understand her or how she was feeling. She couldn't see that the truth was that Phoebe loved her more than anything and as much as she did want redemption, Paige's life was way more important to her.

Paige looked away from Phoebe. Phoebe put her hand on Paige's shoulders but Paige was too angry to talk to her anymore. She pushed Paige to the ground.

"I hate you!" yelled Paige.

Paige turned to Seth's cage.

"Unlock." said Paige before turning around and walking away.

She regretted telling Phoebe that she hated her because that wasn't the case. She didn't hate Paige at all. She loved her but she just needed to think. She was going to apologize after she cooled down. Phoebe was shocked at what Paige had done. No matter how much they argued in the past Paige had never been one for getting physical with her no matter how angry she was. It was getting to the point where Phoebe didn't even know who Paige was anymore.

"Well looks like you guys aren't so close and lovey as you thought. Shocking." said Seth stepping out of his cell," And you shouldn't give the poor kid false hope. She isn't going to get payback. But hey I think you'll be happy to know that Paige not acting like herself has truly nothing to do with you."

Phoebe got up off the floor and pushed Seth against the wall. Seth smiled as Paige's eyes welled up with tears. He didn't even attempt to fight back though he knew he could take Phoebe out if she wanted in a second. He had hit Paige's soft spot. He couldn't help but bask in Phoebe's pain.

"What the hell did you do to her?" asked Phoebe angrily.

"Well since you asked so nicely." began Seth, "You know the syringe with the Rohypnol in it. That wasn't just a date rape drug. It was a little concoction that me, George, and Dwayne whipped up. She had evil in her now."

"That's impossible. You are lying. Dwayne has been in jail for over a year. There is no way!" said Phoebe in disbelief.

"Do you honestly think that this was random. You're really crazy witch. We have been planning this for almost a decade. We had all of this in mind way before your dad left. We knew exactly what we were doing." said Seth.

"You sick son of a bitch." said Phoebe angrily.

"Please flattery will get you nowhere." said Seth awfully full of himself.

Phoebe didn't know what to think. Nothing made sense anymore. She wanted to know why. Why had they picked to do things this way? But she knew the answer. They wanted to break her and her sisters. They didn't just want to take their powers. Dwayne, Seth, and George were ruthless. They wanted to tear their family apart bit by bit. And slowly they were succeeding.

Phoebe punched Seth in his face. He staggered but but quickly regained his balance and slapped Phoebe across the face. Phoebe fell to the floor. She felt her lip and looked at her hand. She was bleeding. Phoebe wiped the blood off her lip.

"I may have let you slide before but don't overstep you're boundaries witch. You need to learn your place. But don't worry you will soon." said Seth.

Piper, Dwayne, Prue, and George were waiting at the entrance for Phoebe, Paige, and Seth. Piper and Prue couldn't help but worry after what Seth had done to Paige. All Prue could think about was what she was going to do to Seth if he so much as touched one little hair on her sisters head. She would truly go ballistic and kill him without thinking twice.

"What is taking them so long?" asked Dwayne angrily.

"How the hell are we supposed to know. Our powers don't really include mind reading." said Piper.

"Watch the lip witch." said George.

Piper just looked at Prue and rolled her eyes. She just wanted the demons to save Paige so she could get her hands on one of them, whatever the consequences were going to be. She just wanted the satisfaction of making them beg for mercy. Piper couldn't believe that she was actually thinking the way she was but these guys made her blood boil. She truly hated them with every fiber of her being.

"So how exactly are you going to make the poison in Paige's body go away?" asked Prue curiously.

"We have our ways. You know its not good to ask so many questions. It's quite disrespectful actually." said Dwayne.

"Well what can I say. I have been told that I can be a real bitch sometimes. I just can't help it. It's a gift." shrugged Prue.

Piper couldn't help but smile. Sometimes Prue's sarcasm amazed her. Even in the worst of moments when they were practically having a near death experience, Prue's sassy self cam out. Prue had always been one to speak her mind without a second though, unlike Piper who was usually more passive. Sometimes it got Prue in trouble and other times it was a good thing.

"I don't understand why we can't just kill the little witch now." said Dwayne about to walk over to Prue.

Prue stood up strait and waited for Dwayne to try something but George held him back grabbing his arm tightly. George couldn't have Dwayne ruining the plan after all the time they had trained and planned. He wasn't going to let some bone head throw that all away because he couldn't take a little bit of talk from a little witch. Not after he had worked so hard.

"Dwayne control yourself. Learn a little self control." said George.

Dwayne gave George an angry look and pulled his arm away. Prue relaxed a little but made sure that she was on her guard. She wasn't going to let Dwayne try and get a cheep shot.

Suddenly they saw Paige coming.

"Paige where's Phoebe?" asked Piper.

"Who cares?" said Paige still angry.

Paige saw the look that Prue and Piper gave her and took a deep breath. She tried to calm down a little but it didn't really help. She walked right by Piper and Prue and leaned on the exit door.

"She's with the rapist slash assaulter slash all around asshole." said Paige, "Don't worry she's fine. Apparently the one who is doing things wrong is me."

"What are you talking about?" asked Piper.

"Nothing forget about it. It doesn't matter. Phoebe and Seth are right there. Can we go now?" asked Paige.

"Woah! Where the hell are Haz and Drake?" asked George.

"Dead. Your friends weren't as tough as they though. Couldn't even take out a fourteen year old and sixteen year old. Some demons you guys claim to be. If they were that easy to kill what do you think we could do to you?" asked Paige, "I have a few ideas."

Paige closed her eyes and smiled.

"Yeah. Guess we'll figure out soon huh? I mean we did our part now it's your turn." said Paige.

Prue ad no idea what had gotten into Paige. She looked like she was absolutely exhausted yet the way she was talking. It was as if she was going to beat the crap out of someone. It was like nothing was wrong with her at all. But she had to admit that this was strange. Paige wasn't like this. She could understand the being angry part but the way she talked about Phoebe and even Paige wasn't one for the whole thinking about death thing, she got queezy when she even thought about blood let alone saw it.

"Impressive." said George.

Prue was stunned by the fact that none of the demons were even a little affected by hearing that their 'friends' were dead, killed by two witches.

"How can you act like it doesn't affect you? Weren't they your friends?" asked Prue.

"Prue were evil. Demons. We don't have friends, we have associates. They worked for me. We didn't have tea parties or go shopping together like you humans do. We are above any of that feelings crap. That is you humans fatal flaw. You rely on your feelings to make decisions for you and this is why you will all die." said George.

"So then why have you failed so many times in the past?" asked Piper.

"It doesn't matter. We won't fail this time." said Dwayne.

Phoebe and Seth walked over to the others. Prue saw the cut on the side of Phoebe's mouth and looked hatefully at Seth. She wanted to tear him in two. He was hanging by a thread and Prue didn't think she was going to keep herself under control for awhile longer.

"What the hell did you do to my sister?" asked Prue angrily.

"Put the little bitch in her place." said Seth with an evil smile.

"How about I put you in your place?" asked Prue angrily.

Seth just laughed. He didn't think that she had the guts to kill him. He thought that she only acted tough. He wasn't afraid of her, not in the least. He just couldn't wait for the point where he got to kill her. He hated Prue from the first time he had seen her. She acted like she could take on the world but she couldn't beat him no matter how much she wished she could.

"Let's go." said George.

Prue let Seth slide for the moment but it wasn't over. She was going to get back at him for everything he had done to her family. All the hurt and pain would come around to bit him in the ass. Then they would see at that point who was the strongest. She would make him pay for the stuff that he said as well.

Paige orbed them back to park where their cars were.

"Well it was really swell working with you witches. I gotta say I am beginning to feel sorry that I am going to have to kill you." said George, "But I will get over it.

"Funny." said Phoebe, "Oh and I hope you all rot in hell."

"Thank you." said Dwayne, "But sadly; been there done that."

"Whatever. Just take the poison out of Paige." said Prue.

George paused then he smiled.

"No." he said with a devilish laugh.

There you go Chapter 20.
