Prue walked through the woods with Darryl. The area was still swarming with police, who were just doing their jobs.
"Are you sure it's your kind of trouble?" Darryl asked as he stopped at one of the covered bodies.
"We're not really positive." Prue said and looked upward to avoid looking at the bodies. "One of them, Caroline, was Phoebe's friend. She was... a witch."
"All I know is, I want to find whoever did it and -"
Prue put a hand on Darryl's arm.
"I know." Prue said quietly. "I know."

Phoebe was sitting on her bed, staring at the ceiling. Poor Caroline.
"Pheebs," Piper said from the other side of the door. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Phoebe lied.
Phoebe heard Piper sigh then walk away.
*****
"Can I see the pictures of the marks?" Prue asked.
She and Darryl were back at the police station and Prue still needed more information. She couldn't tell if it was demon, yet.
"Yeah." Darryl said and handed her a folder. "Just, uh, come in my office with me."
Darryl pulled her along, then, once in the office, he shut the door. Prue sat in a chair in front of Darryl's desk and Darryl sat at his desk.
"What's with the secrecy?" Prue asked as she opened the file.
"I'm not exactly allowed to be showing people these files." Darryl told her.
Prue opened the file and pulled out the pictures. She skipped over the full body pictures and looked at the pictures of the carvings. On each right palm was a pentagram, on each left there was an odd snakelike symbol, on each right foot sole there was an X, and on each left foot sole there was a... triquetra.

Phoebe walked downstairs slowly and looked at Piper in the kitchen. She made no noise and walked on. She had decided to get the afternoon paper, maybe it would bring her some joy.
Halfway to the door, Phoebe stopped and looked in the dining room. The morning paper was still in the scattered mess as it was when they left it, the front page on top.
Phoebe walked over and picked up the front page. She began to cry as she looked at the picture of the covered bodies in the woods.
*****
"So, you're saying that a demon definitely did this?" Darryl asked.
"Darryl, not a whole lot of people know bout the symbol of the Charmed Ones!" Prue exclaimed and stood up. She dropped the folder on Darryl's desk. The pictures slid out.
"Shhhhh!" Darryl said. "Are you absolutely sure?"
"It's not like just anybody could walk into our attic and look at the symbol on our big magical book!" Prue exclaimed.
"Don't get worked up." Darryl said.
"How can I not?" Prue said. "A demon did it Darryl. A demon. I vanquish demons. I could've vanquished the demon before those twelve people died."

Piper walked silently to the dining room doorway and looked in. Phoebe was crying over the paper. Piper looked down sadly then went back into the kitchen.
The page of the paper that Phoebe and her art was on slipped off the table.
