Chapter 3
Piper walked over to Phoebe who was standing at the podium thumbing through the Book of Shadows. "Found anything?"
"Nope, I haven't seen the face of the demon yet," Phoebe answered turning a page.
"Well she can't possibly be in San Francisco because the crystal hasn't landed anywhere on the map," Piper commented.
"Well maybe Leo had more luck than we did," Phoebe sighed. "Leo!"
"Leo!" Piper and Phoebe shouted in perfect unison.
The attic was filled with a bluish white light and Leo appeared. "Yeah."
"Did you find anything?" Piper asked folding her arms.
"They said that they think it could be Diva," Leo responded.
Phoebe quickly began flipping through the pages after Leo answered. "That's her," Phoebe announced pointing to the image of the demon in the Book.
Piper and Leo walked over behind the podium as well to see the page.
Cole shimmered in with a bruise on his face.
Phoebe was distracted and immediately glanced up when Cole appeared. "Cole." She ran over and held his cheek.
"Oh I'll be all right," he assured Phoebe.
"I'll assume that since Piper eyes hasn't left the page that you found something because I didn't find jack, except for a few bounty hoppers," Cole said.
"Phoebe it says here that Diva is known for her extremely loud screams that are lethal to not only a mortal but to our ears as well," Piper said.
"Yeah but if you cover your ears it stops the energy from getting inside of them to become deadly," Leo added.
"Did you say Diva?" Cole asked planting his hands on his hips.
Piper nodded," What?"
"That's the reason I can't sense her anywhere," Cole stated.
"Why?" Phoebe asked.
"Because Diva has a shield around her lair that stops people from entering it, therefore it stops me from sensing it," Cole said.
"Well is there a vanquishing spell, we have to get down there and save Paige," Leo asked.
Piper nodded. "It says here that she is a powerful demon who has the power of telepathy."
"Does that mean she can control our minds?" Phoebe asked.
"Only if you let her," Leo answered.
Piper grabbed a pen and a piece of paper from behind the Book and quickly scribbled the spell on the piece of paper. "How are we gonna get down there to find Paige?"
"I can get us down there but somebody else is gonna have to get inside the lair," Cole answered.
"Don't worry about that we can find a spell to break the shield," Phoebe smiled.
Piper flipped through the Book and found a page with the appropriate spell and she scribbled that spell down as well.
"Come on we better go find Paige," Phoebe suggested.
But before anyone moved everything in the room began floating except for Piper, Phoebe, Leo and Cole.
"Looks like she found us," Leo commented ducking as a clay bowl came flying towards him.
Paige appeared in the room with a cloud of smoke accompanying her. She pushed a hood off of her head as her eyes glowed yellow. She still wore the yellow robe that Diva dressed her in.
"Paige?" Phoebe asked.
"Silence!" Paige roared.
"Paige what is going on?" Piper asked clutching the Book of Shadows to her chest.
Paige eyes glowed, "No one questions me." She waved her hand and sent Piper flying to the wall.
"Piper?" Leo called running over to Piper.
"Stay away White Lighter," Paige growled glancing at the podium that the Book of Shadows rested on. She waved her arm, lunging the podium at Leo's back.
Leo dropped to his knees and fell onto the floor unconscious.
"You're coming with me," Paige reached for Phoebe.
"No she's not," Cole gritted creating an energy ball in his hand.
"Cole no," Phoebe instructed.
The energy ball faded away in Cole's hand.
"Paige listen to me, you're not yourself, you're only acting like this because of the telepathic messages that Diva sent to you," Phoebe said.
Paige covered her ears shaking her head in disbelief. "No you're lying."
"No I'm not Paige," Phoebe disagreed walking closer to her.
"Phoebe," Cole called to dissuade her from walking closer.
Phoebe held up her hand to inform Cole that she was okay. She continued walking closer to Paige. "Paige we're your sisters."
Paige pulled her hands down from her ears and glanced up at Phoebe," I have no sisters." She made a fist and waved her arm sending Phoebe flying through the air and crashing onto the chest that held their ritual materials.
The energy ball formed in Cole's hand once again and tossed the energy ball at Paige.
Paige disappeared in yellow smoke to avoid the energy ball. The energy ball crashed into the wall causing it to smoke as if a fire had just been extinguished.
Paige reappeared before Phoebe's body.
"Paige don't," cried Piper slowly standing to her feet.
Paige spun around," What are you gonna do to me, freeze me?"
"Paige," Piper sighed.
"Or better yet blow me up?" Paige asked.
Piper saw Paige's eyes glow yellow and quickly realized that she was possessed. "You're possessed!"
"Quiet maggot," Paige growled getting ready to wave her arm, when she couldn't because someone was holding her arm. Paige glanced down.
Phoebe was on the floor holding her arm, "You're not playing that trick twice."
"Phoebe," Cole called running towards Paige.
Paige saw him running towards her and held up her hand causing Cole to fly back. "Very well witch." She grabbed Phoebe's hand and disappeared in yellow smoke. Then everything that was floating around the room dropped to the floor.
"No wait," screamed Piper. "No!"
Cole walked over to Piper holding the back of his neck. "We have to get down there and fast."
"But first we have to find a spell to depossess Paige," Piper said running over to the Book of Shadows on the floor. When she stopped heading for the Book of Shadows to kneel down beside Leo. "Leo, honey, wake up."
Leo groaned, "What?"
"Paige just took Phoebe I guess to Diva's lair," Piper explained.
"We have to get down there," Leo quickly said standing to his feet.
"Exactly, Phoebe's life is in danger not to mention Paige's," Cole added.
Piper glared at Cole as she picked up the Book of Shadows off of the floor. Leo stood the podium back up so that she could rest the Book on there. Piper rapidly flipped through the pages of the Book of Shadows. "Okay found one."
"Are we ready?" Cole asked.
Leo glanced up towards the ceiling, "They're calling."
"What?" Piper asked. "Don't they know that you have to save one of your, excuse me two of your charges."
"Piper just wait right here, I'll be back," Leo grabbed her hand and kissed it. He orbed out.
"I can't believe this I am going for Phoebe," Cole said.
"Cole wait," Piper said reaching for him before she shimmered out.
"I'm coming with you," Piper said reaching for his hand and defying Leo's request the two of them shimmered out.
Piper walked over to Phoebe who was standing at the podium thumbing through the Book of Shadows. "Found anything?"
