Phoebe hung up the phone. "OK. School taken care of. I am ready for some serious demon-busting!"
She walked over to where Piper and Prue were sitting on the couch. They had the Book of Shadows open on the small table in front of them. They were flicking through the book as they were planning what to do the next time Largomythir decided to attack.
"I think we should use astral Prue as bait" Piper said turning to face Phoebe to fill her in on their plan, "so the real Prue can sneak up behind him and use her turbo-wicca powers to kick his ass."
Prue whipped her head around and glared at Piper, "Uh, Hello!? I'm not gonna be used as bait!"
"Well do you have a better plan?" Piper asked her.
"Yes I do actually." she answered. "I think Phoebe should levitate and hide up around the attic roof. That way, when the demon appears Phoebe will have the element of surprise when she attacks."
Phoebe walked over and kneeled down on the other side of the table in front of her two sisters. "I like the way you think Prue." Phoebe said. She was very happy with her new active power and was always happy to use it.
"Yeah, well I still think my plan is better." Piper said.
To settle the argument between her two sisters, Phoebe thought of a way to make both of her sisters happy. "Why don't we mix both plans together. While I'm floating up near the ceiling, astral Prue can distract him while you two can sneak up behind him, and I'll attack him from above!" Phoebe said with a triumphant clap of her hands.
"OK." Her sisters agreed.
Prue was about to get up when she heard voices inside her head again. She suddenly fell back and was sitting on the couch again.
"Prue. You mustn't listen to your sisters. They're all against you. They're trying to use you as bait. Can't you see! They don't care what happens to you!"
Piper stopped flipping through the book when she noticed Prue was sitting on the couch staring off into space. "Prue?" she said. "Prue what's wrong?"
Phoebe reached over and shook her shoulder but still she wasn't giving any sign that she knew they were there.
"Piper, I think they're talking to her again." Phoebe said nervously.
"Oh my God! Prue? Prue, listen to me!" she said. She was beginning to panic now. "Prue you have to fight them. Don't let them use you!"
"Come on Prue." Phoebe said, giving her sister another shake.
All of a sudden, Prue sprang up off the couch. "Get away from me!" she said, anger and hurt showing in her voice.
"Prue, calm down." Piper said, trying to sound calm herself.
Piper reached a hand to her and, before she knew it, Prue sent her flying through the room with a wave of her hand.
"Piper!" Phoebe yelled. She began running towards Piper when Prue sent her flying into one of the cabinets in the kitchen. Piper and Phoebe both got up and ran out into the living room.
"Where is she?!" Piper yelled.
They heard the door open and turned just in time to see Prue running out onto the street.
"Prue!" They both yelled as they ran towards the door.
By the time they got outside, Prue was nowhere to be seen.
"How could she have gotten away so fast?" Piper asked Phoebe.
"I don't know"
They turned around and walked back inside.
"Maybe we could try to find her with a scrying spell." Phoebe suggested.
"This is bad Phoebe." Piper said. Phoebe could hear the depression in her voice.
"Don't worry Piper. Everything is gonna be OK," said Phoebe as she put her arm around Piper and began leading her towards the attack.
"How can you say everything is going to be OK!" Piper yelled. She was getting very worried.
"Because" Phoebe answered "we are gonna kick some demon ass! We still have the power of two you know." She put on her cheesiest grin, which always made Piper laugh.
"OK!" Piper agreed, laughing "No more moping around. We are gonna stop this demon, stop the Triad's mind control and get our sister back!"
"That's my Piper!" Phoebe said playfully. They opened the door to the attic and walked in, shutting it behind them.
"I'll look for anything on the demons symbol in the Book of Shadows. You get the things we need for a scrying spell." Phoebe said has she began flipping through the pages of the Book of Shadows.
"OK" Piper agreed. She walked over to an old cupboard in the attic and began pulling out the things they would need. She pulled out a map of San Francisco and a crystal attached to a piece of string. She walked over to a small round table and layed out the map on top of it. "I'm starting the scrying spell. Have you found anything on the symbol?" she asked Phoebe.
As Piper began moving the crystal over different parts of the map, she heard Phoebe walking up behind her. "I've found something. It says the symbol represents the mark of a demonic bounty hunter. An order of demons who are hired by higher powers to do their bidding." Phoebe explained.
"So there are more of them?" Piper asked.
"Not like Largomythir. At least not that I know of" answered Phoebe. "The Order is made up of demons of different races who have all taken a sacred oath to serve the higher powers, specifically The Source and his allies."
"Great. Just when we thought our problems were big enough, we have a whole order of demonic bounty hunters to deal with." Piper said sarcastically.
"I hear you" Phoebe answered, just as the crystal Piper was holding circled and then landed on a point on the map.
"We've found her!" Piper said excitedly.
"That was fast" Phoebe said.
"I know!" Piper exclaimed. She was just as surprised as Phoebe. "I was scrying for Prue's power. It must have found her so fast because her power has grown so much."
"So where did it land?" Phoebe asked, looking down at the map where the crystal had landed.
They both looked down and read the location on the map.
"Golden Gate Park! How did she get there so fast?" Piper asked.
"I have no idea.," said Phoebe, "Maybe it has something to do with her new powers."
"Great. Let's just hope she is still there by the time we get there," said Piper.
"Yeah. We better hurry. I'll drive," said Phoebe.
With that, they walked to the front door, put on their jackets and headed out to the car.
