"That was kind of weird," Paige said as she orbed into the manor.
"What was weird? And where's Leo?" Piper asked.
"He wasn't there. But the weird thing was I sensed him there. It's like he abandoned his charge and just left," Paige told Piper.
"Do you think all of this is happening because of some evil demon, or is it just this big coincidence?" Piper asked.
"Why would a demon do this?"
"That's exactly what I'm wondering. Come up to my room. I found something that made me ask you about a demon," Piper said, leading Paige upstairs.
Piper pointed to the bed stand. There was some clear liquid that was not from a drink. It looked kind of gooey.
"I am not touching that stuff," Paige said.
"Okay, but this still doesn't really prove that there's a demon out there that is making Leo and Phoebe act weird," Piper said.
"No, but the Book of Shadows might be able to help us." Paige went up to the attic, Piper in tow.
"Is there a spell that can tell us if a demon is doing all this?" Paige asked Piper.
"Maybe, but I'm not really sure," Piper said.
"What about if we do a spell to take the thing, whatever it is, out of them."
"Oh, c'mon, Paige. Lighten up, they were just having fun!"
"Excuse me, what happened to Ms. Maybe- a- demon- did- this- to- them?"
"You know what, I wonder if Phoebe will go with me to some club or something," Piper said, so not acting like Piper.
Paige just stared at her while she walked away. Then she had a terrible, terrible thought.
"Piper! You didn't touch that gooey stuff did you?" Paige asked Piper in the hall.
"Yeah so what?" Piper shrugged.
Paige grabbed her arm and pulled her into Piper's room.
"Where's the key to this door?" Paige asked, not sure if Piper would tell her.
"Oh, right there." Piper pointed to a drawer in the bed stand, oblivious to why Paige wanted it.
Paige opened it, took the key out, locked the door.
"Doorknob without lock!" Paige yelled, not sure that would work. It didn't.
Paige tried to think of another plan.
"Hey, where is everyone?" a male voice asked from outside the door.
"Chris is back!" Piper exclaimed.
"Piper are you- where's the doorknob?" Chris asked, pushing the door opened.
"Long story, but I need your help," Paige said, pushing Chris out the door," Okay, um . . . dresser!"
She orbed the dresser from Piper's room to the outside of her door.
"Okay, why did you do that? And where's Wyatt? What if some demon attacked him right now?" Chris asked.
"You mean the demon you're protecting him from?" Paige asked.
"Exactly, you guys have to watch over him. Piper especially does."
"Chris, you don't even know what the demon looks like or what its name is."
"You've got a point. Even though it's a long story, explain the whole keeping Piper locked up thing. And maybe in the middle of that you can tell me where Phoebe is," Chris said.
"Yeah, I forgot about her. Do me a favor and go check on her in her room," Paige said.
Chris raised his eyebrows and left.
"Okay, now for Wyatt," Paige said, going downstairs.
But then Wyatt orbed behind her in his playpen. Paige grabbed the sides of the playpen and orbed it with Wyatt in it to the attic.
"She's okay. She wanted to get out. So I just did what you did with Piper. Even though I don't why," Chris said, orbing in.
"Well, Leo is gone. Piper and I think a demon is doing is . He was acting not himself. Then Phoebe started acting weird. Then on Piper's bed stand there was this gooey clear stuff. It probably came from Leo. Piper touched it when I was out looking for Leo," Paige said.
"So, what, Leo sweated that or something?" Chris asked, making a face.
"I don't know. But we need to look in the Book for maybe a spell to get them back to normal."
"You can't."
"Excuse me, why can't I?"
"Well, they're not inhabited by a demon. It's only their mind just letting go of responsibility."
"But since the demon affected their minds, why can't we make it go away?" Paige asked.
"Let's call on the other Haliwells and see what they know," Chris said.
"Shouldn't we look for the demon in the Book of Shadows?" Paige asked.
"Oh, it's not in there."
Paige raised an eyebrow.
"I'm from the future remember?"
"Right. Since Piper and Phoebe probably won't say the spell, I need something of theirs."
"They'll say the spell. Let's go get them," Chris said.
Paige shook her head. How did he know all of this stuff?
"What was weird? And where's Leo?" Piper asked.
"He wasn't there. But the weird thing was I sensed him there. It's like he abandoned his charge and just left," Paige told Piper.
