"Boy Piper, that chicken was so yummy! Boy am I stuffed," said Phoebe as she came into the kitchen rubbing her tummy. "That cost me, what, maybe 5 pounds?"
"Don't be silly Phoebes!" said Prue as she followed in. She sniffs the air and says, "Mmm, smells like brownies!"
Phoebe rushing ahead of Prue excitedly claims, "Dessert! Oooooo!"
"I thought you said you were stuffed?" asked Piper.
"Are you kidding me? There's always room for brownies!" said Phoebe.
"Nono Phoebes. It's there's always room for Jello," corrected Prue as she smiled jokingly at her.
"Ha ha. Very funny!" said Phoebe. Just then, the doorbell rang. "Visitors at this hour? This night is just full of adventure. I'll get it!"
Phoebe opened the door and was surprised to see the little girl standing in the doorway. "Can I help you honey?" asked Phoebe sweetly.
Emily's tear stricken eyes met Phoebe's as she said quickly in a soft, scared voice, "Can you please, please help me? She's gonna get me!"
All it took was those terrified eyes and Phoebe took Emily by the hand and quickly escorted her inside. Phoebe bent down to Emily's level as she pushed the girl's hair away from her eyes.
"Now honey calm down."
"She's gonna find me," protested Emily through her tears.
"Who's gonna find you sweetie?"
Emily sniffled and wiped her eyes. Just then Piper and Prue walked in. "Phoebe who is it?" asked Prue.
Piper spotted Emily and said, "Emily? Honey, what's wrong?"
"Piper!" said Emily as she ran over to her wrapping her arms around Piper's waist.
"This is the little girl you were talking about?" asked Prue.
Piper sympathetically nodded then turned her attention to the child wrapped around her waist. She could feel Emily's body trembling. As Piper put her hand on Emily's back gently rubbing it back and forth, she said, "Emily, sweetie, why don't we go into the living room and you can talk to me ok?" Emily nodded as she let go of Piper's waist. Piper took her by the hand as the other two followed. Piper sat her down next to her on the couch while Prue and Phoebe joined them. "Emily, these are my sisters, Phoebe and Prue."
"Don't worry Emily, we won't let anything happen to you," reinforced Prue in a motherly tone.
"Can you tell me what happened?" asked Piper.
"She's gonna get me, she's gonna get me!" whimpered Emily.
"Ok, sweetie, you have to calm down. You're going to be safe here. Trust us," said Phoebe as she placed her hand on Emily's. Emily took a deep breath as she looked at Phoebe, then Prue and finally Piper.
"We're not going to let anything happen to you, I promise," comforted Piper as she hugged the little girl. "Now, who is after you? You're babysitter?" A terrified look came across her face as she nodded. Just then the doorbell rang.
Emily gasped, "It's her," she whimpered. The three sisters looked at each other. Then decided to act quickly.
"Ok, Phoebe, take Emily upstairs while Prue and I get the door," Piper instructed. Phoebe quickly grabbed Emily's hand as the scurried up the stairs.
"Ok, coming," yelled Piper. She opened the front door and there was Ms. Morgan.
"Hello there, remember me? We met this morning," said Ms. Morgan who seemed out of breath.
"Hi...umm, yeah. You're that little girl's babysitter from across the street," said Piper. "Is everything alright?"
"Well, actually no. She ran away and I was wondering if you've seen her at all?"
"Oh my god, I hope she is ok. No I haven't seen her since this morning. How long has she been missing?"
"Well, I can't exactly be sure, it could range from a couple of hours to a couple of minutes ago. I can't imagine where the little br... eh dear could have gotten to?"
"Oh, hmmm. Well if I see her, I'll give you a call and send her home if it would be of any help."
"Yes thank you. I guess on to the other neighbors," said Ms. Morgan with a suspicious nervous laugh.
"Well, good luck finding her. Ok buh bye," said Piper trying not to seem nervous as she shut the door.
As Ms. Morgan made her way down the steps her eyes became a hot red and her pupils became pure white. "Well, well, you are one of them aren't you? I guess a bird in the hand IS worth two in the bush," she said as she gave an evil hiss and disappeared.

"Well, THAT was just a little too strange, don't you think?" said Prue suspiciously as Piper closed the door.
"Oh yeah, tell me about it," said Piper. "There is something way too strange about that woman yet I can't exactly put my finger on it."
"We need to talk to that little girl," said Prue as they started making their way to the stairs.
Up in Phoebe's room, Emily had drifted off on Phoebe's bed while Phoebe had popped her head out of the door to eavesdrop. When she turned back towards Emily, she noticed the sleeping child. A motherly feeling came over her and she got one of her blankets and covered Emily. She rubbed the child's back as a source of comfort when suddenly Phoebe jerked back in response to what she saw:
A woman with hot red eyes is following Emily as she is walking in an open field. Emily turns around, sees the woman and starts to run. She trips then turns around while she is still on the ground. The woman is still coming towards her. She moves backwards as she tries to scramble back up. The woman gets closer to Emily as the moon becomes right overhead. All of a sudden, red rays come out of the woman's eyes hitting Emily's. Emily then slumps back to the ground, as her body becomes limp, with her arms flat on the ground. The focus shifts to what appears to be a birthmark in the shape of a moon on Emily's wrist that slowly disappears, as Emily lies there, motionless.
Phoebe, startled by her premonition, glanced at Emily with a worried look on her face. She then looked at the Emily's hand. She raised the sleeve of her shirt and on her wrist was a moon shaped birthmark. Just then Piper and Prue poked their heads in the room.
"Phoebe, we have to - What's the matter? You look like you've just had a premonition?" said Prue.
"That's because I just did," said Phoebe with a concerned look as she made her way out of the room.
"Wait, you had a premonition about Emily?" asked Piper as Phoebe was shutting the door behind her.
"Yeah. You guys, this is more than we thought."
"What do you mean?" asked Prue.
"I think a demon is after her."
"A demon?" said Piper confused, "who...and why?"
"I don't know. All I know is that she had red eyes and rays come out of them. And it did something to Emily. It..."
"What?" said Prue.
"It killed her," said Phoebe reluctantly.
"No, NO!" said Piper pointing her finger at Phoebe. "We can't let that happen."
"I know, I know," said Phoebe. She then proceeded to tell them about the premonition.
"We have to get to the Book of Shadows! Wait a minute. Piper, did Phoebe's description of the demon seem vaguely familiar?" said Prue.
"You mean her babysitter?"
"Uh huh," said Prue.
"Oh my god, no wonder why the poor girl is so terrified of her," said Phoebe.
"I knew something was up with her from the start," said Piper.
"Yeah, but we still don't know why," said Prue. "We have to talk to Emily and figure out some of these gaps that we have. I mean, we can't look up red eyed babysitter in the Book of Shadows."
"Yeah, but Emily has a moon shaped birthmark on her wrist, and in my premonition after the demon... you know, well...it disappeared. And this all happened when the moon was right above them. Maybe the moon has something to do with it," concluded Phoebe.
"It's worth a shot," said Prue. They all made their way to the attic.
As they were looking in the Book of Shadows, Phoebe said, "You guys I was thinking about something. Could it be possible that Emily has powers?"
"Why would you say that Phoebes?" said Piper.
"Well, all of this supernatural astronomical stuff that appeared in my premonition. Birthmarks don't just disappear. And how many people do you know have a birthmark as a definite shape of an object?"
"Hmmm...I guess we can't rule out the possibility, but..."
All of a sudden they hear Emily scream.
"Don't be silly Phoebes!" said Prue as she followed in. She sniffs the air and says, "Mmm, smells like brownies!"
Phoebe rushing ahead of Prue excitedly claims, "Dessert! Oooooo!"
"I thought you said you were stuffed?" asked Piper.
"Are you kidding me? There's always room for brownies!" said Phoebe.
"Nono Phoebes. It's there's always room for Jello," corrected Prue as she smiled jokingly at her.
"Ha ha. Very funny!" said Phoebe. Just then, the doorbell rang. "Visitors at this hour? This night is just full of adventure. I'll get it!"
