"Get off of me," snarled Mirror Phoebe when she, Piper and Paige orbed back to the manor. Phoebe's face twisted in rage. She broke free of the sisters' grip and held up her hand, as if to throw an energy ball. Nothing happened.

" This was a very good plan, Paige," Piper remarked.

" Came up wit' it myself," the youngest declared proudly.

" What happened to my powers?" inquired Mirror Phoebe.

" Phoebe doesn't have those powers," Leo said as he orbed in, holding a piece of rope. He tied the double's wrists and ankles together. " The Elder gave it to me," he explained. " Magic proof."

" My sisters'll get you," the doppelganger declared when Leo pushed her onto the couch.

" We can only hope," Leo replied solemnly.

Phoebe looked at him, confused.

**************************

Mirror Paige lounged in the room they had rented, a dingy motel on the bad side of town. Mirror Piper was looking out the window. Leo the Darklighter kept his bow close in his hand, ready for any Whitelighter to come waltzing through.

" Where'd we get the money for this place?" Phoebe wondered.

" We stole my twin's credit card," Piper replied, surprised.

Piper's gonna be pissed, Phoebe realized.

" So what do we do now?" Paige asked, bored. " I'm feeling a little power hungry."

" I have a better idea," Phoebe suggested. " You know what would make our powers really strong?"

Both sisters turned to her. " Stealing powers from our doubles," Phoebe told them. Let's hope Paige's plan works!

Piper snorted. " Please," she groaned, " like THEY have anything good to steal."

" Still," Mirror Leo pointed out, " we have to get rid of them. We'll never get any good powers if they keep crashing through the door when we find someone with good powers."

Phoebe felt filled with glee. " Yes! We have to get rid of them."

" First, I want to go snatch some powers," Piper said nastily, licking her lips.

" Are you sure?" Phoebe tried to avoid whining, but it came out anyway.

" Since when do you not like powers?" Paige wanted to know.

" I-I do. I just wanna get rid of the Charmed Ones." The words were uncomfortable on Phoebe's lips.

" You had a vision before, right? A strong coven in this area?" asked Piper.

Oh no, Phoebe thought. " Uh, yeah."

" You wrote the name on your hand." Paige inspected her sister's palm. " Let's go." Piper and Leo, and Paige and Phoebe orbed out.

**************************

Quietly Phoebe hovered above the sunroof of the coven's main center. Something inside her wanted to pounce on the witches. She wanted to drain their powers clean.

" That's the evil talking," she whispered to herself. She WAS in an evil body, after all. Her mirror image hadn't taken all her evilness with her.

Mirror Piper inspected the findings. " Lookin' good," she remarked. Black sparkling fire formed in her hand. Piper threw it through the roof, breaking and melting the glass. Phoebe uneasily followed.

Paige grabbed an athame from the witches' altar and tossed one to her "sister". "Come on," she hollered. A fireball formed in her hand, and she tossed it at a witch.

Without her realizing it, something took over Phoebe. A ball of ruby red fire fashioned in her hand and she tossed it at the witch in front of her. Phoebe rushed to her and knelt beside her. Her kidneys twisted into a ball when she realized she killed the witch.

The white mist of magic burst from the witch into Phoebe. Her stomach turned, she felt faint and her vision dimmed momentarily- but then everything became clear. Her vision and hearing sharpened. Her sensible self said this was wrong.

Hey, Phoebe thought giddily, still on a magic "high", if I'm gonna pretend to be evil, I should play the part. With that she launched a fireball onto another witch.

**************************

" Paige, I need wormwood before my potion boils," Piper declared. Paige tossed her a packet. " Check to see if we have any rose oil."

The half-sister wrinkled her nose. " Rose oil doesn't usually go in binding potions."

Piper grinned. " I know, but this stuff just smells so bad and rose oil would be go now."

" Boy, you're cheery."

" Well, yeah, Paige. Phoebe'll be here soon, we'll bind our double's powers and stick 'em in the mirror. Nothing to do it but to do it."

Paige laughed when she handed her sister a vial of rose oil. " If you say so."

**************************

The evil Piper used a napkin to wipe blood off her cheek. " So," she turned to her sisters, " ready to go face our twins?"

Phoebe pouted. " Come on, guys," she pleaded. " Just one more kill?" *







- Don't get mad at me! In Phoebe's past life she was seduced by a warlock to kill her cousins (Season 2, "Pardon My Past") and in the future kills a man (Season 2, "Morality Bites"). She's the most likely to go evil. Just face it.
