Chapter 9

Leo's eyes were different. They were filled with determination, determination of evil- to destroy the witch into non- existence, in a heinous manner. Piper felt the evil surge through her body, the one that Leo felt. Look at all the fun I've been missing! Piper thought, I wasted a huge chunk of my life being good, now it's time to make up for it! Piper cackled silently to herself. She felt a presence behind her and she spun around instinctively, Leo doing so in unison. She saw blue and white sparks forming on the other side of P3. "A whitelighter." Leo whispered menacingly. Piper looked ahead. "Let's go." Piper commanded silently to Leo. Both of them stalked forward as the orbs faded, leaving Andy and Phoebe standing there. They looked around cautiously, looking for Prue, Piper or Leo. However, they were extremely caught off guard when Leo sent Phoebe sailing though the air, up the stairs and out the doors of P3. Andy was alone against a warlock and a darklighter. Andy backed away as Leo and Piper drew closer. Thinking quickly, Andy orbed out and reappeared behind Leo. Leo automatically spun round and received a kick from Andy. Unfortunately, Leo's reflexes were lightening. He grabbed Andy's ankle and twisted it making him flip round and land painfully on his stomach. Leo put his foot on Andy's back, pinning him to the floor. A curvy dagger appeared in Leo's hand. He raised it above his head and sliced it through the air. Andy winced, waiting for the weapon to tear through his flesh and destroy him when he heard a loud scream, "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!" It was Phoebe to the rescue. She flew through the air and grabbed Leo by the stomach and threw him across the room. It was Piper's turn to strike. She grabbed the disk- type weapon that Leo had been holding and she held it in the air, ready to throw it. "Try to stop this, witch!" and with that, Piper threw it directly at Phoebe, who ducked. The disk thing ricocheted off the bar and headed for Phoebe, again, who was standing up. She jumped and did a somersault, just missing the thing coming towards her. It sliced through her shoe, taking half the heel clean off. "That's it Piper!" she yelled, "when I'm through saving your butt, you're buying me some new shoes!" Piper ignored her retort and focused her arms towards Phoebe. Phoebe could tell that Piper was summoning her energy. Within a split second, a bolt of electric sparks flew from Pipers outstretched fingers. Thinking fast, Phoebe ducked and ran towards a mirror hanging on the wall. She stood in front of it. Arms open wide, she jumped from side to side teasingly, "Catch me if you can, Piper!" She called out, remembering what the Book of Shadows had told her. Apparently, she had to use a mirror to reflect an attack onto the affected witch, so that she or he is struck by his or her own power. This would actually undo the spell and return them to how they were before. Just as Phoebe had expected, Piper sent a lightening bolt heading her way. As quickly as she could, she ducked and the power bounced off the mirror and hit her evil sister. She was briefly electrocuted and then she collapsed. Phoebe ran over to her sister's body. She shook her, worriedly, "Piper? Piper? Honey, are you okay?" In response, Piper's eyes opened. "Oh, thank God that you're-" she was cut off when Piper leapt onto Phoebe and started strangling her. Her eyes still contained the fury they had before and her face was twisted into the most evil sneer Phoebe had ever seen on any warlock. "You think you're so smart, witch," Piper rasped, "but you just wait, your life will be over much sooner than later!" Andy came to and rolled over to Phoebe, grabbed her foot and orbed out- leaving Piper strangling air. "Drat!" she cried. * * * * * * Andy and Phoebe reappeared in the attic. Andy automatically let go of Phoebe's ankle and clutched his stomach whilst Phoebe, who was still coughing, sat up and rubbed her forehead. She glanced at Andy, who sat up as well. "Well, so much for that plan." Andy groaned, "something must've gone wrong." Phoebe stood up, using the Book of Shadows table to pull and steady herself. She read both the pages about the switch demon, but there were no answers. Andy stood up and staggered over to Phoebe. Phoebe sighed, "Absolutely nothing. If I'm gonna beat this thing, the book should at least help!" Andy stared at the Book of Shadows, thinking. There must have been a catch or something. There must have been something that they had missed. "Eureka!" Phoebe cheer interrupted Andy's thoughts, "I think I've got it!" she turned to face Andy and held out her hand, "Andy- orb us to P3- I have a plan!" Andy didn't bother to ask Phoebe any questions- if she had a plan, he might as well trust her if he didn't have a better idea.

Leo sat up to find Piper crouching next to him. She looked kinda mad. "What?" he asked. He hoped she wasn't angry because of him. Piper snarled, "The witch got away, thanks to that stupid whitelighter! And I was so close to putting an end to her existence once and for all!" Leo didn't say anything. He pointed towards the bar, where Andy and Phoebe where standing, looking around for the opposition. Phoebe pointed to the table with the mirror sitting conveniently on top. Piper fired an energy ball at Phoebe and one at Andy. Luckily, Phoebe saw them in time and pushed Andy out of the way, just barely missing the one intended for her. Without thinking, Phoebe made a leap for the evil hand mirror. Piper stood up as Phoebe picked up the mirror, trying her hardest not to look at it in the face. Piper kicked at the air, "No!" she commanded fiercely and a lightening bolt shot out from her toes, "Cool!" she exclaimed- a power that came instinctively! Andy caught a glimpse of the electricity headed for Phoebe and shouted out, "Lightening bolt at 2 'o' clock!" Phoebe held the mirror in front of her face and shut her eyes. Just as planned, the bolt bounced off the mirror and hit Piper in the spleen. The impact made Piper shoot across the room and hit the wall. Phoebe was pretty sure she had it this time and rushed to her sister's side. The clothing around Piper's stomach had been singed and her skin was very slightly burnt. Phoebe shook her sister, but she didn't wake up. Phoebe's eyes filled with concern- did she just kill her own sister?
