'She'll be here in 20 minutes.'

'Good, if this demon is anything as bad as he sounds then we should stick together.'

'I totally agree. Where did Leo go?'

'He went to see if the elders knew anything more about Balcalae.'

Piper walked into the kitchen to start on the food.

'Whoa,' said Prue as she walked into the room. 'What's with all the mess?'

'I was creating,' said Piper defensively.

'Creating what, a nice little home for farmyard animals?!'

There were saucepans on all the surfaces and unidentifiable things sliding down the walls. The word 'mess' was not one that would have fitted as a description for the kitchen. 'Disaster area' was probably better.

Just at that moment Leo orbed in.

'We need Cole!'

                                                                * * *

Just as Leo was orbing into the house a car pulled up outside. It was Matt's. Phoebe was debating over whether or not to kiss him goodnight. It would probably be seen as rude not to but…there was always Cole in the back of her mind.

'Phoebe, thanks for coming out with me. I had a great time.'

'Yeah me to.'

'Goodnight Phoebe.'

Matt leant in to kiss her. Well, a peck on the cheek can't be too bad thought Phoebe. She turned her face to the side but Matt grabbed her forcing her to look at him. A light blue beam of light came out of his eyes into hers. She struggled against it but gradually felt her body becoming weaker. Matt let go of her and sat back in his seat.

'Now we can get down to business.' His voice had changed. Where before it had been kind and warm now it was cruel and sharp.

As he said this the door to the house opened and Prue, Piper and Leo walked out.

They spotted the car and made their way over to it.

Matt stepped out of the car but it wasn't him they saw. It was a huge ugly looking demon. He actually looked a lot like Belthazor.

He fired an energy ball at them. The three of them scattered, Phoebe was still sitting in the car.

As Leo, Piper and Prue recovered Matt walked round to the passenger side. He opened the door and told Phoebe to get out. He leaned in to her so nobody else could hear what was said. By that time Prue had picked herself up. She readied herself to throw something at him but he swung round and punched her on the side of her head. She was pushed atleast six feet away from him by the force of it.

'Don't mess with me witch. You cannot hope to stop me. You are too weak to defeat me, Balcalae!'

'So that's who you are. And now what? You kill her and us cos that seems like a pretty boring plan,' said Prue stalling to give herself enough time to get off the floor.

'No, I have bigger plans for your little sister, you I'm gonna kill but Phoebe here has a purpose.'

'And what's that?'

'Just a little bit of revenge.'

At that Balcalae shimmered out. Prue looked around for Phoebe but she couldn't see her anywhere. She must have run off during the confusion. But where to nobody could tell.
