Two can play the game

Grams and Paige continue in their attempt to lure Phoebe away from Belthazor's grip and are prepared to take extreme measures. Grams might run into her not to favourite great-grandchild and meanwhile Belthazor will try and stay one step ahead of everyone.

Phoebe awoke to an empty bed, Cole she called out but couldn't sense him. Then she heard a noise in the kitchen and ran to see what it was. Relieved it was only Ben banging a solidified jar of honey on the bench, before placing it in the microwave.

'Where is your dad today?' Phoebe asked her son.

'Daddy's got a surprise' a smiling Ben said.

Phoebe felt a lot more relieved rubbing her ever, expanding belly. She then made some toast for herself before she felt a familiar shimmer behind her. "Cole" she said to herself as he leaned over and kissed her.

"Phoebe I have a present for you", Cole said pulling out an ornate looking box.

"It's a very pretty box", Phoebe said

"Open it", Cole said.

Phoebe did as she was instructed and inside was a necklace made of a metal, she was unable to decipher the strange lettering on it. In the centre was a pendent that initially looked opaque but on closer inspection seemed to change colour quite frequently.

"Do you like" said Cole somewhat with an anxious tone in his voice.

"Of cause I like it Cole its beautiful " Phoebe said putting it on Cole smirking as she did so.

Scene 11.

Back in San Fransisco Piper was humming away to herself whilst preparing dinner for the family when grams walked in. From what Paige had told her she had to be wary of Piper, as she might spoil her plan by alerting either Belthazor or Phoebe and that would not do at all. Instead Gram's asked how Phoebe was. Piper grinning said she is very happy she is in love and she is expecting a second child. This was news to Grams as Paige had only mentioned one great-grand child and she had already met him. 'Who is the father of her first child'?, Grams asked somewhat concerned. Piper answered quickly and without hesitation "Cole: Cole Turner". After that Grams felt very relieved her first was obviously with a human as Cole Turner was a very human name. Grams would have to ask Paige about this Cole Turner.

Grams found Paige sulking in a reclining wicker chair. "You alright", Grams asked.

"Of course I am not I have lost my beautiful sister to Belthazor and she's pregnant with his seed and I feel powerless to prevent it!" Paige said in a very upset manner. "Don't worry about it darling she will return to good I promise you and she will not see the dam demon again!" grams said. Though I do have to ask you a question do you know anyone bye the name of "Cole Turner"? The tears swelled in her eyes the name obviously had a profound effect on her. She led grams to the book of shadows and once again opened the ancient tome and turned to the Belthazor page. To grams the picture of Belthazor was looming larger than life it haunted her as it did her granddaughter. She read allowed to herself.

A demonic solider of fortune who, had killed countless witches and innocents, who liked to kill with energy balls or an atheme he is as cunning as he is intelligent and should be avoided at all costs.

Grams then turned to Paige saying this is about Belthazor; what about Cole? "Of course it is grandma the book of shadows is about demons and the page you are looking at is Cole. Grams suddenly put two and two together you mean Cole and Belthazor are one and the same! Do you have a picture of Belthazor in his human form Grams asked? Hopefully not Paige said I tried to destroy them all but then she noticed a small photo on the attic floor, which must of dropped out when she was staring at the infamous demonic assassin and handed it to grams. She looked at the picture examining it toughly as if it held a key to getting Phoebe out of the whole mess that she had got herself into. The picture was that of a very tall dark and handsome looking man, had grams been a bit younger she might of drooled over him. Then she snapped herself out of it and reality hit her she was staring at the more human façade of the demon Belthazor.

"Gabriel", grams said to Paige can seduce Phoebe and his goodness will ebb away at the evilness Belhazor has tried to corrupt her with. Paige didn't quite understand where grams was going but Phoebe was Cole obsessed she always had been she didn't think grams realized the gravity of the task ahead of her.

She then heard incessant chatting emanating from the kitchen down stairs, Grams listened again it was the sound that came from children and their were two distinct voices. One was clearly that of her great-grand son and pride and joy and the other one she did not recognize. She had no idea who it could be because as far as she knew Wyatt did not mix with other children as a magical child with little or know exposure to the outside world how would he know anyone else. Grams listened again as she materialized downstairs it was clear the other child was dominating the conversation. She entered the kitchen and saw two little boys playing quite contently. No sooner had she entered then the second child turned around to face her with cold obsidian eyes not leaving her fleeting figure observing every move that she made as if ready to go on attack mode.

Suddenly the second child that she recongnized instantaneously as Belthazor's bratt grabbed for Wyatt shimmering him out of the kitchen and out of San Fransisco. Grams then turned to Piper and said that Wyatt had been kidnapped by Belthazor's spawn. Piper was about to answer her when the phone rang it was Phoebe at the other end. "Just rang to tell you that Wyatt's playing trains with Ben at our house, will see that he gets back home latter.

A brief note for next time:

Grams has now seen enough and is going to put her plan into action even though she knows she is repeating a past mistake but one she thinks is more that justified. One thing was for sure Belthazor was not going to lay another hand or Phoebe and their was only one way to guarantee that.
