"Why the hell did you move us in front of that demon Prue?" Piper demanded.
"I don't know. It was like I had no control over my actions."
"Do you think this has something to do with the spell?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't know. I don't think so. I can't remember properly, but I thought I could hear voices. It's all getting fuzzy now but I'm pretty sure there were voices."
"We didn't hear anything," said Phoebe.
"No they were in my head. But the weird thing is that it didn't effect my astral body. Maybe my astral body can't be effected by whoever is doing this. Or they weren't ready for this to happen. Anyway, I'll be more ready next time."
"No, there's not gonna be a next time" Piper said, "we're gonna find out who's doing this and put a stop to it. Leo!"
Usually when Piper and her sisters yelled out to Leo for help, he was usually somewhere close by. Leo was the Charmed One's Whitelighter. Their guardian angel.
"Leo! Leo!" Prue and Phoebe joined in.
Within seconds, the attic was filled with a blue glow as Leo orbed in. He appeared right in front of the three sisters.
"What's happened?" Leo asked, concerned.
"Have you heard anything about a demon trying to control Prue?" Piper asked.
"Yeah. It's like they're speaking to me in my head and making me think things that I don't want to." Prue informed him.
"Well I'll ask The Elders, but so far I've heard nothing. But they did mention a demon named Largomythir. He's supposed to really powerful. He hasn't been seen for almost two centuries though."
"Let's see if there's anything else on him in the Book of Shadows" said Prue.
They all walked over to where the book was sitting on its stand, open to the page on Largomythir. Piper began reading from where they left off.
"He travels from dimension to dimension using a vortex, opened using the power of his middle eye, spreading evil and chaos throughout the realm."
"I guess that explains why he hasn't been seen for so long." Leo explained, "he's been in another dimension."
"I don't care where he's been. Let's just get to the killing part." Phoebe said.
"Wait, look at this." Piper said, motioning for her sisters to look at the book. "It says that if we can get the demons sword, we can put our own symbol on it, the Triquetra, so the power stored inside the sword will be transferred to us."
"OK" said Prue, "but how do we get the sword?"
"First we have to find the demon" Phoebe said, "and I'm betting that he won't be expecting Prue's new boosted powers. They should be even stronger by the time we fight him again."
Phoebe walked over to where the portal had appeared only a few minutes ago.
"So he can open a portal anywhere? Anytime?" Phoebe said in sudden realisation, "For all we know he could open up a portal and get us while we're sleeping!"
"Then we'll have to be ready at all times." Prue said.
Phoebe was standing in the spot where the portal had opened, and suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her temples as she jerked and gasped at the beginning of a vision.
She saw Largomythir. He was standing face down inside some sort of cave. Around him were three figures, evenly spaced in a circle around him. They were all wearing dark, black robes. The scene shifted and she was seeing Largomythir falling from the window of their house. As he fell, a beam shot out of his eye and opened up a portal in the ground. Before he entered the portal, she saw something drop out of his robe and into the bushes. All of a sudden her vision ended and she saw her two sisters and Leo standing in front of her.
"What did you see?" Prue asked her curiously.
"I saw Largomythir. I think he's working for the Triad. I saw him standing in the middle of three figures in dark robes. And from the dark, evil feeling I got from them I'd say they were the Triad."
"Oh my God." Piper said.
"Oh. I almost forgot! I saw Largomythir falling from our window, and he dropped something."
Leo raised his head to the ceiling for a minute, as if listening to something only he could hear.
"I've have to go. They're calling me." He began to orb out when Piper stopped him.
"Not so fast, mister. Don't I get a kiss first?" she asked in a playful voice.
He quickly stopped orbing out long enough to give Piper a kiss.
"OK. Now I really have to go," he said while still in the middle of kissing Piper.
"OK. Don't be long." Piper said as he orbed out fully this time.
Phoebe quickly ran downstairs to the front door. She opened the front door quickly and saw Darryl standing there.
"Darryl!" she said, surprised and a little shocked to see him standing there. "What are you doing here?"
Piper and Prue caught up to Phoebe and stood behind her.
"Hey Darryl!" they both greeted.
"Hey. Can I come in?"
"Sure!" Phoebe answered as she stepped out of the way letting him in. "What's up?"
"I've come to see if you can help me out on a case. There's been body's showing up all over the city. They've all been killed in the same way, only it's not exactly your usual murder."
"What's so strange about it?" Prue asked curiously, not sure if she really wanted to know.
"Each victim has had their eyes cut out, and a symbol carved on their chest."
"Ewww!" Piper said as her two other sisters looked at eachother with disturbed looks on their faces.
"What did the symbol look like" asked Prue.
"This" he said as he handed them a piece of paper with a symbol scribbled on it. It looked like a triangle with a cross in the middle of it, surrounded by a circle.
"Yeah OK. We'll see what we can do Darryl but right now we're kind of busy so…." Phoebe began saying as Darryl cut her off.
"No problem. I'm not in the mood to be talking about demons or warlocks so I'll get going. Call me if you find out anything."
Sure Darryl. Bye" Piper said.
"Yeah. Bye." Darryl said back to the sisters.
As soon as Darryl had drove off the three sisters ran outside to the spot where Phoebe saw the object fall in her vision. She started rummaging through the bushes and saw something silver shine from the sunlight. She reached in and picked it up. As soon as she stood up she felt that familiar twinge in her head as she had another premonition.
She saw Largomythir again. He was in a dark alley chasing a man. The man appeared to be homeless, as far as Phoebe could tell by what he was wearing. The demon reached out his hand and the man suddenly came to a stop, as if his legs wouldn't work anymore. The demon walked up slowly behind him and grabbed the mans shoulder. He violently spun him around and stared into his eyes. He raised his monstrous, green hand, in which he held a long, shiny sword. He aimed the sword at the mans chest, ripped off his shirt and carved the symbol that Darryl had showed them into the mans bare chest. The man just stood there yelling, unable to move, paralysed by whatever spell the demon had put on him. The demon then raised his other had with his index finger and middle finger pointed out, and lunged them for the mans eyes, tearing them out.
Phoebe moaned in terror as her vision ended. She was shaking when Prue and Piper quickly came up to her. She filled them in on what she had seen.
"I guess it's safe to say we know who's been killing those people." Prue said.
"Yeah. Hey what about that thing in the bushes? Did you find it?" Piper asked.
"Oh yeah!" She opened her hand, which was balled into a fist, and in her palm lay a shiny silver medallion, with the symbol Darryl had shown them on it.
"Do you think this is like the demon's symbol or something?" Piper asked.
"I don't know?" Phoebe said. "We should see if there's anything on this symbol in the Book of Shadows."
"Ok. Let's go" Piper said.
"Hang on. I've gotta get to class." Phoebe said quickly.
"Well call in sick!" Prue said, "you've seen what this demon can do. We have to be ready with the Power of Three in case he attacks again."
"Prue" Phoebe said with a smile on her face, "I think you have enough power for the three of us. But OK, I'll stay just in case"
"Good"
The three sisters headed back into the house.
