An Unexpected Future

Paige orbed upstairs to the attic to get the five white candles, and the five crystals for the Summoning Spell. She was about to orb back downstairs, to do the Summoning Spell with Piper, but decided that Piper had been through enough and didn't need anymore to add to the stress. She placed the five crystals on the attic floor, and looked at the Summoning Spell.

Magic forces black and white,
reaching out through space and light,
be he far, or be he near,
Bring us the demon Gamul here 

Paige knew she had to rewrite it, but Phoebe was the one who was good at creating spells, not her. She erased 'Gamul' and inserted 'who possesses Gamul's power'. She looked at her finished project, and nodded her head. It wasn't the best, but it would work. She began to recite the spell.

Magic forces black and white,
reaching out through space and light,
be he far, or be he near,
Bring us the demon who possesses Gamul's power here.

Black smoke filled the inside of the crystal-lined shape. The demon that threw the powder at Phoebe earlier appeared in the center, and the blue force field of the crystals surrounded the demon. "Where the hell am I?" he angrily spat.

Paige laughed at the demon. "Don't be angry – all I want to do is torture you until you give me what I want."

The demon snarled, "You actually think I would do something for you?" The demon took a step forward, but no electrical shock came. The demon laughed, "Your force field is weak; it will not hold me for much longer. And when I get out, I will destroy you." He took another step forward, but again, the magical shock did not come.

Piper ran her hands through Phoebe's hair, and took Leo's hand. She looked him in the eyes, and said, "My sister can't die, Leo. I already lost one sister…I don't think I can handle it if Phoebe dies." Piper wiped away the tears that had fallen down her face.

"It's going to be OK. We will fix this… Let me make her more comfortable…I'll orb her to the sofa…OK?" Piper nodded her head. Leo took Phoebe's hand and he orbed her to the sofa. He placed a pillow under her head and tried to make her as comfortable as possible. "You know –" A voice said. Leo looked up and saw Piper in the doorway, holding herself. "- I don't even think she knows that she's on a couch…right…now." Piper fell to her knees, and cried hysterically. Leo crossed the room, and pulled Piper into his arms. "Shhh….She's going to be fine….It's going to be OK…" Piper looked up at him. "How do you know? She might…" Leo took her hand. "No. She won't die…she will fight this. We will fight this." Piper nodded her head… "OK."

The demon laughed and turned himself invisible.

Paige cussed and backed-up towards the attic door. The demon shimmered in behind her, and stabbed her in the stomach. Paige gasped and released a blood-curdling scream. She put her hands over her stomach, and orbed downstairs.

Piper and Leo looked at each other when they heard Paige scream. They quickly ran towards the stairs, but then Piper put her hand on Leo's shoulder. "Did you hear that?" She looked back from the direction they came from and saw blue and white lights. "Paige!" Leo and Piper ran back into the room. Paige dropped to her knees and pulled her hand off of her stomach. Her hand was covered in blood, and she was having trouble breathing. Piper got to Paige first, and gently lowered her to the ground. "It's going to be OK." Paige looked up at Piper's tear-stained face, "I…love…you. Tell…Phoebe….I said…" She closed her eyes.
