Chapter 6

The shot missed Andy and Phoebe, but it didn't miss the book. The Book of Shadows flew away from Phoebe's grip and onto the floor. Phoebe quickly ran after the book. Andy looked round and gasped,

"Phoebe! Watch out!" Phoebe turned round just in time to see three chairs flying in her direction. She lifted her hands and jumped in the air just in time to dodge them. She watched as, one by one, each chair crashed into the wall. She hovered in mid-air for a minute or so, then she plummeted down and hit the floor with a smack. Phoebe grabbed the book and Andy's hand.

"Orb! Orb! Orb!" she shouted in panic.

Andy orbed out as fast as he could, just quickly enough to miss the fourth chair headed their way. It too, smashed on the wall.

Andy and Phoebe reappeared at the manor. Phoebe glanced at her hands and the Book of Shadows was safely in her hands. Immediately, she flicked to the page, which held the information about the switch demon. Suddenly the phone rang and scared the life out of Phoebe and Andy. Andy answered the phone,

"Hello?" he asked.

"Hi," came a voice from the other end of the line, "Is Phoebe there?" Andy beckoned Phoebe over. Phoebe looked puzzled.

"Hello?"

"Phoebe? It's Xavier." A bullet of recognition came to Phoebe.

"Xavier!" she exclaimed in surprise, "Hi!"

"Hey. So Phoebe, I was wondering we could go out sometime?" Phoebe didn't answer. The spirit board pointer was quivering. Andy started writing down the message. The pointer slid off and hit the floor. "Phoebe? Are you there?" Xavier asked. Phoebe snapped awake.

"S… s… s…sorry Xavier," Phoebe apologised, "Something's just come up. I'll call you back."

"You don't have my number." Xavier reasoned.

"I have *69. Sorry again. Bye!" Phoebe hung up quickly. She immediately felt guilty. Xavier was being so nice to her and she just blew him off without any explanation. 'But what would I have told him?' A part of Phoebe said, 'that I'm a witch, my sisters and whitelighter have become evil, and I'm being helped by the soul of my oldest sister's high school boyfriend who has become a whitelighter too? Not likely!' Phoebe shut up the voices in her head and headed towards the spirit board. "What did the spirit board say, Andy?" she enquired.

"It didn't." Andy replied confusingly, "The pointer just zipped over that symbol, and then fell off." Andy pointed at the symbol of a heart with a cross on top.

"Andy, that sign means 'warning- danger'!" Phoebe explained.

"Phoebe, we are already in a lot of danger. What could be next?" in answer, a lightening bolt shot in between Andy and Phoebe and hit a stained glass window, smashing it entirely. 'That's gonna cost a lot to mend!' Phoebe thought. Phoebe and Andy turned around sharply to face Piper. Her face was curled into a sneer. Her eyes were so cold, so full of hate and evil. Phoebe had never seen her sister look this way before. 'Her clothes have changed too,' Phoebe noticed. Piper was dressed in black from head to toe. Her black shirt was slim fitted and it ended just below her thighs. Her black leather pants were also quite tight and had slits at the ankles. Piper's makeup was so dark, it might as well have been black- dark lipstick, eye shadow, lip and eyeliner, a total Gothic. The woman is like a 21st century, stylish devil! She thought. Piper's usually warm, comforting brown eyes glowed a metallic shade of blue as she motioned her arms at Phoebe and Andy. A plant behind Andy exploded. Andy dove for the ground, grabbing the Book of Shadows while doing so. Phoebe screamed as the picture of her and her sisters with Grams when they were children burst into flames from impact of the explosion. Phoebe grabbed Andy's arm and ran upstairs with the book. Piper glared after them for a minute and then zapped herself back to P3.
