Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed. If I did, Prue would not be dead. End of story.

Shazzar is The Source's secret weapon. He was created to look like a human, to ensure the survival of the demonic world, and nobody knows of him but him and The Source. But is he too human too

finish his mission?...

Chapter 1: Introducing the demon.

Shazzar stopped outside the room. The Source was waiting inside to brief him on his new assignment. His first ever assignment. He couldn't help but feel slightly nervous.

He was admitted, and bowed. "My Lord," he murmured.

The Source waited no longer. "Shazzar, you were raised as my secret weapon. No one knows about you. Your time has come. You are to eliminate the greatest threat to our society. This," he continued, waving his arm at a crystal ball that sat on the stone altar, "is the newest witch in the Charmed One's circle. If you eliminate her, we'll not have to worry about them returning to power."

Shazzar bowed again and left. Like almost evryother demon, he did not question his orders. He was proud to carry the flag of evil.

Meanwhile, Paige watched her sister Piper race through the manor in desperate search of her car keys. Paige laughed as Piper whirled into the room, looking more like a hurricane than her usual responsible self.

"What?" Piper stopped, harrassed. Paige shook her head and popped the lollypop back into her mouth. Then she took it out again. "Phoebe has your keys in her room, from when she borrowed the car last night." Back went the lollypop.

"Thanks. And I've told you about that. It's a bad habit." She grabbed the stick hanging out of her youngest sister's mouth and tugged gently. Paige held on. Piper looked at the clock and swore. "Gotta go. See you Paige."

"Bye," Paige called to a slamming door. She shook her head and twiddled the stick of her lollypop. She too left the room, but backtracked when she felt the eyes.

She galnced wildly around the room. There wasn't a thing out of place, except -

Paige's favourite earrings sat on the coffee table. She frowned, sure they had been in her bag. She picked them up and put them in her pocket.

His face-shifting in the manor had worked. Posing as pauge's favourite earrings, he'd been able to access her apartment. Quickly looking around, he saw little he could use. "Damn!" He whispered. Still... he could wait all day, if he wanted. He had plenty of time. But...

Paige sat behind her dask, bored out of her skull. She had nothing to do, and she'd forgotten the book Piper had leant her. "Damn," she hissed. She checked her bag. No lollypops. Damn again. She picked up her pen, and began to doodle. The power of three sign appeared from beneath it...

* * *

He'd done it! After shimmering to her apartment, he'd face-shifted into a pen. This had landed him on her desk, and he could see the power of three sign. he was now doubly sure of who she was. He couldn't kill her now; he feared exposure. But he could watch. And -

It suddenly struck him how pretty she was. Full, pouting lips, dark hair, wondeful eyes. She'd looked just as good in The Source's viewball, but he hadn't noticed then. He'd been on a mission. Now... he was waking up to something other than evil.
