Chapter 4

Paige appeared in Diva's lair with Phoebe holding on to her hand, as they were when they left the attic.

Phoebe quickly jumped to her feet," Where am I?"

"You're at my lair," Diva answered appearing in the room in a puff of yellow smoke.

Phoebe backed away from Paige," What did you do to my sister?"

"The same thing I am going to do to you," Diva answered opening her mouth and releasing the loud circles of energy.

Phoebe covered her ears as she raced through the air and hit the wall. Phoebe groaned and she hit the floor. She saw snakes slithering near her and quickly jumped to her feet. "You wait my sister is going to be here and we're going to vanquish you."

"Is that a threat?" Diva asked walking towards Phoebe.

Phoebe winced and back towards the wall, "It's a promise."

Diva held up her hand and snapped her finger. Shackles appeared on the wall and tied Phoebe to the wall on a metal rod. Shackles gripped her wrists and ankles.

"Paige," called Diva. "The potion."

Paige glanced around the room and saw a shelf full of potions, she held out her hand and a small bottle appeared in her hand in blue and white sparkles. "Here you are Diva," she handed the potion to Diva.

"It's time to make you evil as well," Diva smiled holding the potion in front of Phoebe's face.

Cole and Piper shimmered into a dark room.

"Okay where is Diva's lair?" Piper asked.

Cole pointed left.

"Well come on," Piper commanded running towards left.

She and Cole turned a corner and saw a black French door before them, except the glass was smeared by blood.

"This doesn't look like it has a shield on it," Piper said reaching for the knob. An electric shock exploded when she touched it causing her to wince back.

"Told you," Cole laughed slightly.

**

Diva turned when she heard the shock. "Paige go see what is going on."

Paige nodded and vanished in yellow smoke.

Diva tossed the potion onto the floor causing blue smoke to rise over Phoebe. Phoebe eyes glowed yellow.

Diva smiled, pleased at what she's done. "Time to be evil."

**

"Where's the spell to break the shield?" Cole asked.

"Just wait," Piper snapped reaching into her pocket without success. Then she reached into her other pocket and grabbed a piece of paper.

"What do you think you're doing?" Paige asked standing behind them.

"Uh," Piper stammered.

Cole tossed an energy ball towards Paige.

She held up her hand and repelled the energy ball sending it flying through the air towards Cole. Suddenly the ball stopped in mid-air because Piper froze the energy ball.

Piper ran towards Paige tackling her to the floor.

"Get off of me you witch," Paige implored.

Piper punched Paige knocking her unconscious.

"Gee, you're good," Cole complimented resting his hand on the wall.

"Focus," Piper snapped standing in front of the door with a piece of paper in her hand. She quickly intoned:

"Shield be broken with this spell,
Allow us to walk among this trail.
Melt like ice without a fridge,
Fall down like the London Bridge."

Piper reached for the doorknob and turned it but couldn't get it open.

"It's locked too?" Cole asked.

Piper threw up her hands blowing up the door causing the doorknob to fall off of the door, "Not anymore."

Piper and Cole entered the room and saw Diva standing before Phoebe.

"Phoebe?" Cole cried.

Diva spun around to see Piper and Cole. "Intruders," she shouted opening her mouth sending Piper and Cole back out of the door.

Piper and Cole landed on their backs outside of their door.

"Let's try this again," Piper commented walking into the room throwing up her hands to freeze Diva.

She froze still in her tracks.

Cole and Piper ran towards Phoebe to see her eyes glowing yellow.

"Phoebe?" Cole sighed.

"Let's remove these shackles and then you can mesmerize in her presence," Piper ordered. She reached for a shackle," Damn, I can't get this loose."

"Step back," Cole asked. Piper did as he asked. Cole threw an energy ball towards the shackle causing it to pop loose. He threw three more energy balls to pop the shackles on her ankles and her other arm.

"Okay, go get Paige so I can cast this spell to depossess them," Piper said holding Phoebe up.

Cole nodded getting ready to shimmer out of the room when he was thrown against a wall.

"Cole?" Piper cried quickly turning her head to see how he was thrown.

Paige stared back angrily at her," You just got yourself in trouble girly."

"Not just yet," Piper groaned lying Phoebe down against the wall and reaching for the spell.

"I take your possession out of sight
I do this with the speed of light.

"It's too late for Paige," Cole called from the floor.

"What?" Piper asked when Diva unfroze.

Paige eyes glowed even angrier.

"You really think you could change them with a measly rhyme?" Diva asked.

Piper threw up her hands to freeze Diva but she couldn't because a hand had grabbed her by the hair from behind. "Huh?" Piper saw her sister Phoebe, eyes wild with evil. "Phoebe?"

"That's right," Phoebe agreed tossing Piper against the wall by her hair.

Piper shrieked as she hit the floor.

Diva walked over to stand in front of Piper, with Phoebe and Paige to her side. "You just made the biggest mistake ever, witch."
