NOTE: This is the sequel to Angel, Demon, Cousins. I own nothing. Only the characters I made for Travis and Melinda and anything else I make up.
A/N: I sort of got bored with "No Moms" so I decided to do a different sequel. Please don't sue me. I'll attempt to stick to this one, assuming I get enough reviews of interest. Got the hint?
CHAPTER 9
Melinda slowly tried to approach the dog that stood before her. Courtney growled as Melinda's had reached out to her. Melinda took her hand back quickly.
"OK. How do I do this?" Melinda muttered to herself. She had an idea. "Please work. I'm begging here." Melinda faced the ugly dog. "Courtney!" The bulldog appeared in Melinda's arms then. "Wow. It worked. Now let's blow this joint." Blue light appeared all over the blonde girl. She orbed out to the front of the school. "Hey, I'm on a roll." She looked at the dog. "And you smell."
Back at the manor Piper was in the kitchen. She had a crystal dangling above a map. She had been channeling for nearly half an hour. Piper saw the glow of bright lights flashing on the walls then.
"Hi, Leo," said Piper, not even turning around.
"Hey," said Leo, walking up to her. "Any luck?"
"That's a big nope. How hard could it be to find a baby stealing demoness? Where is this chick hiding?"
"Don't know. But we have to find her. Some mothers won't be able to handle suddenly losing their children before the babies are born. It can kill some women."
Piper sighed deeply. "I really needed to hear that, honey. Thanks." The crystal suddenly dropped then. "Yes! Got her. Let's go."
Piper ran off towards the living room. Leo ran right behind her. The two of them stopped when they saw Paige and Glen giggling on the couch over an old childhood story. Piper sighed exasperatedly.
"Uh, Paige?" Paige looked over at her sister. "We found the demoness."
"Oh," said Glen. "Does this have something to do with "demonic" forces or something?"
"Yes, honey. Sorry," said Paige.
"You know what? I can go with Piper. You stay here, Paige," said Leo.
Piper shot him a glare. Leo glared back. Finally Piper forced a smile. "OK. Paige, Leo and I will handle this. You and Glen can get back to your giggling."
Paige raised an eyebrow. Glen snickered to himself. Piper wrapped her arms around Leo's neck as he orbed the two of them out of the house. As they left Melinda orbed in with the Courtney the dog in her arms. Paige gave Melinda a surprised look.
"Honey, what's going on? Why aren't you in school? And what's with the pooch?" Paige questioned.
"Aunt Paige, Glen, I've really done it. Are Mom and Dad home?" Mel asked.
"No. They just left," said Paige. "What's going on?"
"You remember that bully girl?"
"Yeah," said Paige. "What about her?"
Melinda pointed at the dog. "This is the girl."
Paige's eyes widened. "What?"
"Your niece changed a young girl into a dog?" Glen asked.
"I'm assuming yes," said Paige.
"Aunt Paige, don't freak. I didn't mean it. Spells
never work for me, spells hate me, spells and I hate each other, and I said a
spell and she changed into a dog. I was upset and it just happened."
"You changed the bitch into a bitch... literally," said Paige. "I wish I had that spell during high school."
"How do I change her back?" Melinda asked franticly.
"Relax, Mel," said Paige, standing up. "I'm sure I can fix this."
"Don't you need that power of three thing?" asked Glen.
"No. Mom and Dad cannot know about this," said Melinda.
"Don't worry. I'll look at the book of shadows," said Paige. She took the dog from Melinda. "And, Glen, you handle Lassie here." She put the dog in Glen's arms.
"This thing was a kid?" Glen asked. Melinda nodded. "Weird."
Piper and Leo walked down the street of an empty block. Piper was busy ranting to Leo about Paige's insubordination and affection over Glen. Leo listened to her but was more concerned about the mission at hand. Leo and Piper finally came up a house.
"Is this it?" Leo asked.
"Yep. There has to be a pregnant chick in there somewhere," said Piper.
"Excuse me?" Piper and Leo turned around and saw a young woman with black hair standing before them. "Why are you standing in front of my house? Can I help you?"
"Uh, maybe," said Piper.
"What's your name?" Leo asked.
"Sally Davis. Who are you?" the woman asked.
"Oh," said Piper. "Sally, I bet you're pregnant."
"I'm getting ready to surprise my husband with the news. How did you know?" Sally asked.
"Um, listen, Sally," said Piper. "I'm Piper and this is my husband, Leo. We think you're in danger.
"We think your baby's in danger," Leo added.
"What do you mean? How do you know anything about me or my baby?" Sally looked confused.
All of a sudden Vile appeared a few steps behind Sally. He had a glowing ball in hand. Piper shouted for Sally to watch out and tackled her down. Sally clutched her stomach, protecting her unborn child. Piper threw her hands up and froze the demon. Leo grabbed the frozen ball in his hand and tossed it off into a trashcan.
"What the hell is going on?" Sally demanded.
"Talk later," said Piper, jumping up. The demon unfroze quickly. "Much later."
Vile avoided a blow up by Piper's hands. He and Piper exchanged blows. Piper kicked him in the upper abdomen. She grabbed him by the throat and flung him up against a gate.
"OK, pal. Where the hell is the demoness?" Piper demanded.
"I'd never tell you," Vile gagged.
"Not exactly a request," said Piper. Vile started to shimmer. "Oh, no!" Piper grabbed onto him, absorbing the shimmer. Piper shimmered away with him.
"Piper!" Leo exclaimed.
