Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Charmed characters or the spells used! I got the spells from thecharmedworld.com, and they don't belong to me! Please don't sue me, I'm begging you! :P The story is mine and I dunno maybe a demon or two...
AN: Paigefan, I guess I kind of forgot that they did have their powers when Prue died, but here's my reasoning. The Power of Three truly does not exist anymore, so they aren't witches anymore. Forgive me the mistake, please.Do you still like my story?
Chapter 18
"Who the hell are you and what could you possible want now?," Paige asked the man standing in front of her. "I'm going to have to ask you politely to be quiet while I explain myself," he said, a mysterious look on his face. Piper looked as though she didn't really care what happened, and was surprised to find that Paige did. "Well, if you can be polite, so can I," Paige said. He thought she meant be being quiet and began to speak, "My..." Paige interrupted. "I said I would be polite not quiet," she said, "So, here's what I have to say to you, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, you can go to Hell." She was in no mood to play games with him. All she wanted was to get Phoebe back, and then vanquish him. Still, when Piper nudged her, she closed her mouth. "Ok, if you are through," he said pointedly, "Then, my name is Dmitri and I need something from you. Let me start by telling you my story," he said before again being interrupted. "We are *not* your psychiatrists and we don't need to hear a sob story so why don't you just let us go and we can get back to where we are truly needed," Paige said angrily. "I suggest that you just be quiet, you may want to hear this. It may help with your...loss," he said, looking at her, then continued, "My parents were good witches, but they died in a car crash when I was just an infant. Something you may understand," he said, glancing at Paige, "I was, in a way, adopted by the Underworld because they wanted my power. The power of, for lack of a better word, ressurection." At this, Piper and Paige began listening closely, already turning over ways to force him to use his power for their own benefit. "I have surprisingly been able to avoid using my power for evil, though they have tried to convince me to. They are becoming very impatient with me and I am afraid that I may not last much longer. I have found it impossible to make myself BE evil. Now, I actually have a reason to live. I met a woman who stole my heart and now she is in danger. I need you to strip my powers so that I may escape their radar. I can't go on living like this. She means too much to me. In return for this favor, I am willing to bring your sister, Phoebe as I recall, back to you. How you will explain it will be up to you as I don't have the power to deal with that. I am certain you can find a way to deal with this. Will you help me?," He asked staring at them, pleading. The entire time he had been pacing befor them, stopping only to look directly at them when he said something that needed emphasis. "Yes," Piper said immediately. "Piper! We can't just agree to this without thinking and doing some investigating. He may be trying to trick us," Paige said automatically. "I don't care, Paige," Piper said, tears running down her cheeks, "what does it matter anymore? Without her, we are *nothing*. Don't you understand that?" Paige felt that little dagger hit home. "Like I don't realise she's gone from our life," Paige thought, feeling as though she'd been slapped. "Fine, we'll do what you want, but we don't have our powers without Phoebe. (sorry 'bout that Paigefan) You have to uphold your end of the bargain before we can do the same," Paige snapped unhappily. In truth, she believed him, but she didn't want to risk getting her hopes up to have them smashed into nothing. Dmitri nodded after a brief consideration. "Why wouldn't they do it? I am bringing back the one they want," he said, convincing himself. "Ok, then, I am going to need a few things. Oh," he said, waving his arms and thereby releasing their bonds. "Sorry about tying you up, so to speak. I had to make sure I wouldn't die the moment I hit your doorstep. I have heard a lot of stories about you, though I didn't realise you no longer had your powers. Judging by the way you were looking at me earlier, it wouldn't have mattered," he said sheepishly, indicating Paige. "What do you need to do this?," Piper asked, cutting straight to the details. "All I need for you to get is some of her blood," he told them, "The rest, I can take care of." It was decided that Paige would orb to the hospital and obtain some of her sister's blood from the lab, then orb back. While she was gone, Piper watched curiously as he began to prepare for the spell. He used a vast assortment of candles and drew a star on the floor. It looked very much like she expected it would if someone were being ressurected. "This better work. I don't know what else to do," Piper whispered to herself. Dmitri overheard her. "Piper, trust me. I wouldn't want anyone to lose someone they loved. Not like that. Especially not at a demon's hand. I've seen what they can do to people," he said sympathetically. Piper's eyes snapped at the word demon. "Phoebe didn't die at the hands of a demon, she died in the hospital," Piper said, sorting through what little she knew. "Right, but it was a lower level demon, Eiron, who poisoned her. God, didn't you know?," he asked, sorry to have mentioned it at all. "No, but thank you. As soon as we get Phoebe back, he will be on our hit list," she said, her expression revealing her trademark 'kick some demon ass' look. Paige came back and he put a drop of blood in the middle of the star and began chanting in what sounded like latin to Piper. Paige and Piper gripped each other's hands and waited, breathless.
