Ten minutes later, Piper returned the attic. Prue was trailing her finger down cursive handwriting. Traces of a smile blossomed on Prue's face. Piper grinned and rushed to Prue. She read the page carefully.

"I think this should do it," Prue murmured to Piper. Piper checked the spell and read it out, adding Phoebe's name.

Cursed witches are worthless

Yet the curse must be removed first

This spell shall do the deed

And remove the poisonous and toxic lead

With these finals words, we work our spell

And the curse upon Phoebe shall no longer dwell

"No, it won't work. This is for amateur spells, Prue," Piper informed her sister. Prue scowled at her younger sister. She magicked the pages again, looking for the needed spell.

"There!" Piper cried, clutching Prue's hand to stop her. Prue frowned and stopped her magic. Piper pushed back a few old pages and pointed out the page she had seen. It was a yellowing parchment entitled "To Temporary Cast Away Powerful Curses".

Prue grinned and checked the page. The spell was immensely complex, needing only two witches. Piper sighed thankfully. Some of the ingredients were ones they did not have and Prue agreed to collect them.

"Wait, we need something to banish it. Do we have an amulet?" Prue asked. Piper shrugged, pointing to the dusty box. Prue whispered the spell to herself, and Piper followed her example. After a few minutes, they stopped practising.

"I'll go to the Wicca store to get all these items," Prue decided. "I'll stop by the garden and kitchen too." She unhooked the necklace, slapped it into Piper's hand and astral-projected away.

Piper scowled and clasped the necklace around her neck. Then, she reached into the candle-box and withdrew six white candles, one greenish-yellow candle, and one silver candle.

"I need something belonging to each of us three," Piper told herself. She froze the attic and walked into Phoebe's room. Cole was holding Phoebe's hand, reassuring her. Suddenly, Piper caught sight of a glint of light on Phoebe's neck.

"Phoebe, I need that necklace. It belongs to you, and it is a symbol of love," Piper told her sister. Cole pulled the necklace off Phoebe's sweaty neck and handed it to her. Piper thanked Cole and slipped the necklace into her pocket.

"Forgive me, Leo, but this is a matter of life and death," Piper whispered as she tugged at her wedding ring. Then, she checked Prue's room, soon grabbing a pair of earrings given to her on her birthday.

Piper took the jewellery out of her pocket and checked it. Clutching the jewellery carefully, she stepped back up to the attic and saw Prue there. All the items were on the floor, as so the amulet.

"Good," Piper smiled and placed the jewellery onto the floor. She started arranging the items carefully. She nodded at Prue to get Phoebe. Prue astral-projected to Phoebe's room and told Cole that it was spell-time. Cole shimmered away.

"Same goes, Phebes. It's spell time for you too!" Prue told her sister. She levitated her youngest sister and magicked her into the circle of white candles in the attic.

"Ready," Prue alerted her sister. Piper picked up the silver candle, which symbolized cancellation. She touched its flame to the yellow-green candle (sickness). The candle burst into flame. Piper quickly signalled to her sister and they began reciting.

Take this curse and cast it away

Let it not return until a new day

Similar to warlock, this curse banished be

And the eyes of the cursed shall once again see

We banish this curse into this amulet

And yet the "away" shall be so very curt

Come back into the cursed it must

Come back into the cursed it will very fast

Warning, witches, be careful and ready

But remember this curse must banished be

The yellow-green candle melted in a blast of light as a black orb of light shot out of Phoebe's body. Phoebe stared at the hovering light with panicked eyes. Suddenly, the amulet glowed.

"It's working," Prue murmured. The amulet shot out a ray of white light. The ray shone upon the orb and pulled it into the amulet. And it was over. Phoebe sat up and sighed, relieved.

"Can we banish that dratted demon now?" Phoebe asked. She leaned over Prue's shoulder and waited for the flicking to stop. Prue soon ceased and pointed out the parchment to Phoebe. Phoebe read it quietly.

"That's a lot of words," Phoebe passed her judgement. "Yet the actions are so few. We only need to banish the demon and smash the necklace in which he lies. All before dawn. Which is in, oh, half an hour."

"What?" Piper yelped. Phoebe showed her sisters how they should sit in a triangle.

They quickly followed her simple instructions. Phoebe palmed the necklace and placed it on the floor, the pointed end facing west.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west

As so this demon shall be laid to rest

It shall be brought away as the sun sets

Never to be heard again as the sun rises

Phoebe chanted, providing a simple introduction. She rehearsed the lines of the spell in her mind and promised her sisters that she would recite it telepathically as well as externally. Piper signalled frantically at her sisters and they began.

[Author's Note: Sentences flow into another, so it is kind of difficult to understand.]

Demon of Dark Magic, you have hurt us much

Now you shall no longer live to touch

Hear or see, smell or taste

We send you away with haste

You have weaved magic, dark and evil

Into many lives and made us feel

Unwanted and unloved, yet we are not

And for that you will rot

We send you away into the shadows

Never again to return to light

And like many others, our foes

We have fought you with our might

Away with you, dratted creature!

Your face in this book will no longer feature

Hah! We have won once again

And you shall live no longer to cast more pain

Phoebe raised her fist and brought it down on the necklace. The green glass smashed and a howl was heard. The demon appeared and began to writhe. Its skin began to melt as it yelled.

"Eww," Piper turned her face away. The demon emitted a last shriek before disappearing. Phoebe sighed with relief and tapped Piper's shoulder. She smiled at her elder sister.

"It's gone," Phoebe informed Piper. Piper wheezed out a whisper of thanks. Suddenly, it was Phoebe who began to writhe. Prue caught her by the shoulders just before she collapsed.

"Phebes, are you okay?" Piper asked, concerned. Suddenly, a ray of blue light and one of black was released from Phoebe. The light broke into small pinpricks and also disappeared.

"Well, there goes my power," Phoebe sighed. Prue and Piper glared at her and she held up her hands in defeat. "Okay, okay, no big regret," she reassured them. Prue flicked her finger at the floor and cleaned up the mess in a jiffy.

"Well, I need to thank a kind boyfriend of mine," Phoebe excused herself and let herself out. Prue and Piper looked at each other and sighed.

"She'll never change, but maybe she learned," Prue muttered to her sister.

And hell did Phoebe learn a lot. Hell . yes, familiar word that. Hmm .
