"OK, so, run this by me one more time?" Portia requested. She and her sisters were in the attic, and they were preparing to summon Mal.


"We summon the demon, we throw potion at the demon, we vanquish the demon." Phoebe summed up.


Portia looked to Prue for more detailed explanation. "I'll cast the summoning spell, and that should bring Mal here. When he shimmers in, we each throw the potion at him, and say the vanquishing spell. And speaking of the spell..."


"I have it right here." Pheebs interjected. While Piper and Portia were looknig it over, Prue started the summoning spell.


She took a small piece of Mal's flech left over from the potion and, holding it over a small metal bowl, she began chanting.


"Flesh and blood I call you near,
Flesh and blood will bring you here."


A slight wind filled the attic, and Mal appeared. From opposite sides of the room, the sisters each threw their vials of potion at the demon's feet. As soon as the bottles hit the ground, the witches ran toward each other. Mal was writhing in pain, but managed to send an energy ball at Piper. She ducked, and it hit the wall, causing the house to shake.


"Spell, NOW!" she shouted.


The girls huddled near the Book of Shadows. Phoebe took out the spell and held the paper so her sisters could see, and together they started chanting.


"Demon Mal with all your might
Be gone in sound, be gone in sight
Here and now, forever more
We vanquish you with the power of four!"

Another wind filled the attic, much stronger this time. The sisters clung to each other. In a burst of flames, Mal was gone.

A/N: I'm toying with the idea of writing a sequal. I'd love to do more with Portia. Whether I do or not will be based on the number of reviews I get. ::hint, hint::
