Leo orbed to the manor and strained his ears. He heard light footsteps upstairs, and by the sound of it, they seemed to be heading toward the attic.
Leo walked quietly up the stairs and went to the attic, where he heard angry cries, more light footsteps, and a thump every once and a while.
"Book, I command you to stop!" Leo heard someone inside the attic say angrily.
Leo looked through the door, but didn't see anyone. The Book Of Shadows was laying on the floor a few feet from where it should sit on the podium.
Suddenly, someone grabbed Leo's head and pulled him into the room. Leo didn't even get a chance to see who had him, he was slammed onto the ground and landed on his back with a loud bang.
Leo groaned and sat up. He rubbed his eyes and then opened them. He saw a blurry figure standing in front of him and didn't like it. Leo blinked and the figure came into focus. A barefoot, smiling man was looking at him with an odd smile.
"Well, if it isn't the whitelighter." The man said.
"How do you know?" Leo asked, rubbing his neck.
"I know a lot of things." The man said and straightened up. "Now, tell me how to pick up that Book or I'll kill you."
He grabbed the back of Leo's shirt and lifted him off the floor and pulled out a dagger and put it next to Leo's neck.
"Whitelighter poison." The man hissed into Leo's ear.
"Only a demon would have this kind of strength." Leo said, disguising his fear well.
"Tell me how to use the Book." The man said.
"Tell me who you are first." Leo said, even though he knew that it was the demon that shrank Prue, Piper, and Phoebe.
"Just call me David."
"Well, David, the Book can only be touched by a force of good." Leo said.
"Then you go pick it up and bring it to me." David said and pushed Leo toward the Book. Leo stumbled and fell, but quickly turned and picked up the Book. He knew that David would get a nasty shock out of the Book.
"Give it here." David demanded and put out a hand.
Leo shoved the Book at David and waited. David put his dagger down and placed both hands on the Book. Just as he was about to open it, the triquetra glowed, then an electric blue current came from the Book and shocked David.
Leo turned away as David shook and screamed, but when he heard the Book drop and David collapse, he turned.
He picked the Book up off the floor and looked at David. He couldn't just leave him there. What if he escaped?
Leo managed to find the rope the sisters had used to tie Tom and lifted David up onto a chair and tied him to it tightly.
Leo placed the Book back on its podium and orbed back to the club.
When he got there, he found Prue and Phoebe jumping up and down on the buttons of the phone; they had managed to knock it off the cradle.
Leo put the phone back on its cradle and Prue and Phoebe looked up at him.
"Hey!" They yelled, but Leo couldn't hear them.
"Where's Piper?" Leo asked and bent down so they could talk into his ear.
"She's still in the crack." Phoebe said.
"We didn't want to move her." Prue added.
"Can you get her? I can't heal you guys when you're this size, but I know how to get you back to regular size." Leo said.
"We'll get her." Prue said, then walked away. "Come on Pheebs."
Phoebe followed Prue to the edge of the bar and looked down.
"Prue! We can't jump." Phoebe said, looking at the garbage bag that Prue had tumbled down earlier.
"Pheebs, we won't fall. I only fell because I was being chased by an evilly thing." Prue said, then grabbed Phoebe's hand. "Ready?"
Phoebe only nodded.
"One...two..." But Prue didn't finish. She and Phoebe had jumped before the count of three. Their tiny screams were heard only by each other as they fell.
"Oof!"
"Whoa!"
"You okay?" Prue asked, sitting up.
"Yeah, you?" Phoebe asked as she sat up.
"I'm good." Prue replied.
They then sat down and slid down the bag like it was a slide.
"That was kind of fun." Phoebe said as they made their way back to the crack.
Prue didn't say anything as they walked through the crack.
"Hey." Piper said weakly.
"Piper!" Phoebe and Prue exclaimed and rushed over to her.
"How are you?" Prue asked.
"When did you get up?" Phoebe asked.
"I'm okay...a little shaky, but okay. I just got up a little while ago and you guys weren't here and I was worried." Piper said.
"No need to be worried. We were fine. Leo found us and he's going to help us get big again." Prue said and helped Piper up.
"Yeah." Phoebe said and helped Piper up too.
"Oh no, you guys are hurt too." Piper said, looking at Phoebe and Prue's cuts and bruises.
"Nothing big." Prue said and reached down to pick up her jean jacket, but her arm stopped and she got a sharp pain. "Ow."
"What? What's wrong with your arm?" Piper asked.
"Nothing much." Prue said as Phoebe got the jacket. "Thanks."
"Look at that cut above your eye! And your arm! That bruise! And Phoebe! Look at all those cuts! That's a nasty bruise too! You guys! You're hurt!"
"Piper," Prue said as they helped her walk toward the crack. "Get over it. We've had worse...and you were unconscious! And you've got more cuts than either of us!"
Piper couldn't think of anything to say, so just stayed quiet and put an arm around each of her sisters' shoulders. They both grabbed the hand that was on their shoulder, then they each put a hand on her back to help her walk better.
"Prue, you're limping!"
"So are you Piper." Prue replied.
"Phoebe just look at that cut! Bloody and-"
"Piper, please." Phoebe stressed.
Piper got quiet again they helped her out of the crack. They found Leo waiting for them with a jar.
"Oh no! No more jars!" Prue exclaimed.
"Jars bad! Jars bad!" Phoebe panicked.
Leo just smiled and put the bottle down for them to get in.
The sisters just took deep breath and got into the glass jar and Leo orbed out holding the jar.
Leo walked quietly up the stairs and went to the attic, where he heard angry cries, more light footsteps, and a thump every once and a while.
"Book, I command you to stop!" Leo heard someone inside the attic say angrily.
