Author notes: Hey. Thanks fir all the great reviews I got for the last chapter. Greatly appreciated.
WritingMoose: Yup, I write Charmed. It's my favourite show. Yeah it's where Kyle's freezing power came from.
Disclaimer: I forgot to put this in chapter 1 so this accounts for both chapters. I don't own Charmed or any of it's character's. They belong to Mr. Spelling and the WB. I do however own the Cathecta demon idea so if you wanna use him in one of your fics ask me first

"What. You what. Killed me. You saw me being killed," Piper stammered. 'Great just great' she thought to herself. My husband has gone awol and now I'm gonna be killed by some demon.
"Phoebe what did the demon look like," Asked Prue, her little sister's premonitions were often true but she hoped that they'd be able to stop this one from happening. 'Just like all the others' she reassured herself.
Piper was starting to get worried. Phoebe still hadn't answered Prue. She loved her sister but Piper loathed it when Phoebe got a premonition of one of them being killed.
"Um the demon had pointed ears, sharp teeth with fangs, a short stumpy nose, electric blue eyes, it was grey in colour and it also had horns." Phoebe said.
"Oh how cliche," Prue muttered.
"Anything else," Asked Piper.
"On um oh it... when it kill-killed you, a long straw like thing came out of its mouth," Phoebe stated, her voice shaky.
"Come on," Piper said as she stood up, "I guess we should go look in the book like we always do," She said as she continued up the stairs towards the attic. Piper was trying not to think about what Phoebe had described in her premonition.
Phoebe pulled herself up using the railing at the side of the stairs. Pure also gave some assistance. She looked up at Prue as she stood up and smiled. "I suppose we should go help Piper," Phoebe said in a fake cheery voice with the smile to match. It was her defence system in these types of situations.
"Yeah," Prue answered weakly. She could tell that Phoebe was trying to be outwardly strong but the vision had shaken her and Prue was worried.
Prue and Phoebe entered the attic to find Piper paging through the book. The Book of Shadows held everything that had been passed down through their family and so reaching them. It was their heritage and they would add to it throughout their lives.
"Why, whenever we need something this damn book doesn't help us," Piper said in an annoyed tone.
"Honey that's no way to talk to the book," Phoebe answered jokingly. She was trying to put both her sisters at ease and show them that she was fine.
Piper smiled, she could see that Phoebe was trying her best to put on a happy face. There was no reason to bite her head off. " I know, I know. I'm just...well I'm just so frustrated that all this is happening. Personally I don't wanna get sucked dry," Piper stated
"How do you know it's the same thing that attacked those women is gonna try and kill you," Prue asked sceptically.
"C'mon Prue. Those women were sucked dry and in my vision Piper was about to be drank through a straw," Phoebe said firmly. Sometimes Prue's scepticism got on her nerves and now was one of those times.
"Hey, hey lets just look in the book," Piper mediated. Now was not the time for her sisters to have a catfight. "Right," Piper said as she returned to leafing through the book. Prue and Phoebe soon joined her and the three of them started the long laborious search of the Book of Shadows.

"You are doing well," The Source told his subject but the demon only sneered back, it did not speak at this point. "But remember what your ultimate goal is," Continued The Source.
"Yes, to kill the Charmed Ones and retrieve their souls for you," Stated the demon.
"Yes and you can keep any other souls you have got for yourself so far and any others you get along the way a long as the Charmed Ones souls are delivered to me."
The demon smiled slightly at this.
"But if you fail I will kill you myself," The Source boomed.
The demon nodded and changed into its human form. A male in his early thirties with fair hair and green eyes. "I will not fail you," He said as he exited the Sources chamber by shimmering.

"Oh this is no use," Prue said as she threw her hands in the air and stepped back from the book, "So far we haven't come up with anything."
"I know," Phoebe said as she walked to Prue and pulled her back to the book.
"Yeah we've only been at this for nine hours, I think a little help would be nice," Piper said as she looked up.
The pages of the book started to flip furiously until they stopped near the end of the thick, heavy book.
"See you give a little, you get a little" Piper said smiling at her sisters.
"So what have we got," Phoebe asked as she looked at the page the book had stopped at?
"A Cathecta Demon," Prue read off the page, "It looks like someone you don't wanna meet on a dark night," Prue continued.
"Yeah cause you might end up getting drank through a straw like a soda pop," Phoebe joked.
"Phoebe," Prue said.
"What it's true," She insisted.
"Ok you two lets just read about the blood-sucking demon," Piper said to her sisters. Prue and Phoebe just smiled innocently at her.
Piper turned her attention back to the book;" Cathecta Demon feeds on the blood of witches and steals their souls."
"How nice," Phoebe interjected.
Piper looked at her then continued; "It looks like a normal human and only shows its true self when its victim is alone. It kills the witch by inserting a long needle like fang into the witch's heart and drinking their blood it then takes the soul of the witch."
The three of them looked at each other.
"Wait there's more," Prue said as she pointed to the page of the book, "To defeat the Cathecta Demon you must use the Sword of Ame while saying the spell."
"Wait Sword of Ame. What does that mean?" Phoebe asked. Languages had never been her strong point at school.
"Sounds French," Piper stated.
"It is French, Ame means soul," Someone from behind the girls informed them. All three of them turned around to face who had spoken.
Piper's face lit up, "Leo," She said as she ran up to him and kissed him. "Where have you been, " She asked.
"That doesn't matter right now, what matters is that you guys find this demon and vanquish it," He said to them. As Prue and Phoebe turned back to the book Leo pulled Piper close to him and kissed her passionately on the lips. When he pulled away Leo whispered, "I missed you,"
She looked up to him and smiled. Then kissed him on the lips before they walked back to join Prue and Phoebe by the book.

He watched the large pink house intently from the shadows. His targets were in there. Killing the Charmed Ones would make him the most glorified demon in history. "Soon" He said to himself. He needed to get one of them alone as the three of them together would be too powerful. "Now which one first," He whispered to himself. He thought about all The Source had told him about the three meddling sisters. "Ah yes the middle one, Piper. The most vulnerable." The oldest was the strongest and the youngest had the traitor Belthazor protecting her. 'Excellent' he thought. With the middle one gone it wouldn't be long before the other two followed. He took one last look at the manor and shimmered out.
