Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Charmed characters or the spell used! The story is
mine and I dunno maybe a demon or two...
AN: I'm going to go ahead and do this next chapter today since I wrote it last night. Let me know what you think with reviews!
When they got home, the girls rushed into the manor and up to the atttic. While Phoebe flipped throught the pages, Piper and Paige crowded around her, earger for an answer. After a little while, Phoebe exclaimed, "There he is! There's the man from my premonition." Paige and Piper quickly looked at the page Phoebe had indicated. "Rathin. He trades good witches' powers in exchange for the "breath of life", or a way to live with complete protection until you are destined to die. You can't get sick and the breath heals your body of all illnesses. He then gives the powers to upper level demons in exchange for power.," Piper read aloud. "So, what is so bad about that? I mean, I'd trade my powers... Well, you kow what I mean," Phoebe said awkwardly. Piper and Paige looked at her funny before Piper continued, "It says that that same protection, supposedly meant for help, turns them slowly evil. They no longer can be hurt, but they begin hurting others." Paige shuddered. "That's sick. Is there a vanquish?", she asked. "There is a spell. There is also a warning. It says 'Beware Rathin's persuasion. All of his victims were intent on destroying him, but in the end he destroyed them.' That's comforting. Well, I guess that rules out a protection spell. If that were going to work, other witches would have used it.," Piper said. "We can at least try it. We ARE the Charmed Ones, maybe our magic is more powerful than his.," Paige said, a little braggingly. "I guess you're right. We'll give it a try. RIght now though," Piper said looking at her watch, "we need to go back to the club. By the way, should I hire her?", Piper asked. "Well, in my premonition, the attack, or should I say con, happened at P3. I know that hiring her could make the encounter more likely, but it would also give us a chance to know exactly when she will be there. I think you should.," Phoebe advised. Piper nodded. "Ok, then let's go.," Piper said. Paige quickly jotted down the vanquishing spell, just in case.
They all headed downstairs. Paige opened the door and gasped. A very familiar man was standing in fron of her, hand poised as if to knock. "Hey, Paige," the man said softly. Paige smiled. "Glenn! It's so good to see you." Then Paige frowned a little, remembering that they had to leave. "Oh, I'm so sorry, we were just about to leave. That sounded rude. I mean, you didn't call so I wasn't expecting you and...," Paige trailed off when Piper put her hand on her shoulder. "What is wrong with me?," Paige asked herself. "Why on earth do I feel like a teenager, rambling on and on. I've got to get a hold of myself!" Glenn smiled at her. He had barely been able to contain his laughter, but his eyes danced at her, hinting his amusement. "Paige," he said, leaning close, his face inches from hers, "Chill. Out." Paige felt a little dizzy with him so close. When he told her to chill, she cocked her head and placed her hands on her hips, ready to tell him off. Then she found herself in his arms, returning his embrace. "It's good to see you Paige. I missed you.," he said and let her go. The last time he'd been here had shocked him. He'd found out her and her sisters secret and it had taken him a while to accept it. Now, he came with a purpose. "Glenn, why don't you just come with us?," Piper asked, trying to make him a little more comfortable with her and Phoebe. She didn't think he got the impression they liked him last time. "Sure, thanks.," he replied, smiling at the invitation. "Oh, great. We have so much to talk about!," Paige said excitedly. They all piled into the car. Paige looked at Glenn, ready to talk, but she noticed him lost in thought and didn't want to interrupt. He was thinking about what he needed to tell her. "I hope she'll be happy," he thought. Her eaction weighed heavily on his mind. "What will she think when I tell her I'm getting married?," he asked himself worriedly. He looked over at her and caught her biting her lower lip. That little habit, to him, portrayed a charming vulnerability in her. He'd once had a huge crush on her. For years he had waited for a return of feelings, but he'd given up. He was, obviously, over it, considering his upcoming marriage at all. He wondered, though, why had his heart rate sped up when he'd seen her. Why had he noticed something as small as her biting her lip and the creases in her forehead as she thought? "I need some air," he thought. Just then, Paige looked over at him and smiled. "Yes,", he thought, while his heart jumped foolishly, "some air would do me good."
