Chapter 15
-basement, manor-
Piper whimpered in pain as she felt her self leave the realm of unconsciousness. The first thing that she saw as she weakly opened her eyes was Cole. The look in his eyes bordered insanity. His contorted smile along with that disturbing look gave the Piper the impression of someone who no longer cares. She knows that she should be scared, but then again, why should she be? She no longer feels or cares about anything either.
"Hello, Piper. How are you feeling?"
"What's it of concern to you?" Piper spat out in a raspy voice.
"Why, I'm hurt... You know, I purposely waited until you felt a bit better to go and fetch you."
"Now why would you want to do that?" Piper muttered sarcastically.
"Well, for one thing, I wouldn't want you to die the moment I touch you, now would I? Because then, I would no longer have anyone to torture!" He cried with an insane laugh.
"That's sure comforting."
"You bet, Piper. I wouldn't dream of having anyone replace you," Cole said. "And when I say I'm going to torture you, II'm going to torture you!/I
Piper wished that he could have just left her to die.

"Okay, are you sure it's a smart idea, Phoebe?" Paige asked.
"No, but it's the best I could come up with in five minutes."
"Uh huh... and your plan involves endangering your own life to save Piper's life, am I correct?
"Yeah, but if it works, then we could vanquish the guards, hence reducing the risks of being the targets. In other words, we strike them before they strike us," Phoebe replied.
"I see... okay then, let's put this plan to work."
-front porch, manor-
"Okay, Piper's going to kill me, but, here goes," Phoebe encouraged herself as she threw a potion at the front door and "vanquished" it. Smiling, she sauntered in and fell face to face with about two-dozen demons.
"I come here in peace!" Phoebe called out.
"Whatever you say, witch."
"Now, you wouldn't dare lay a finger on me now, would you?"
"You want to bet on that?"
"Look, gentlemen, why don't we grab a smoke, and work out our issues?" Phoebe asked while putting a cigarette in her mouth. She then flicked the lighter, and suddenly levitated into the air, holding the flame by the sprinkler. (Okay, I don't know if they have those water sprinkler things on their ceiling. But let's just say they do for the purpose of the plot). The sprinkler activated, but instead of spraying out water, it sprayed out a coloured liquid. A vanquish potion. Rapidly, Phoebe said the spell that accompanied the potion and an infernal followed. The blazes disappeared as quickly as they rose.
"Ahh!" Phoebe cried as she fell onto the ground with a thud.
"Whew," she breathed out and dusted her hands. "Paige, the coast is clear!"
