An Unexpected Future

Gamul shimmered in. He shook his finger at them. "Not so fast. I worked hard to get Phoebe where she is…" He formed a fire ball in one hand, and took something out of his pocket with the other hand.

He quickly threw a handful of powder at Paige, who had been walking towards Piper. She fainted and slid to the floor. The demon laughed.

Piper saw Paige faint to the floor, and accidentally said aloud, "O.K., now I'm pissed off!"

Piper tried to turn towards the demon and freeze him, but her pregnancy was getting in the way. "What the hell?" She angrily screamed. Prue flung Gamul into the wall with her eyes. "Piper!" Leo held out his hand to help Piper up. She took it and he pulled her up.


Gamul slowly got up, and brushed himself off, like it was no big deal. He laughed at Prue, and threw a fire ball at her. She dodged it, and it flew into the wall where she was once standing. The demon frowned, "Oh, this is no fun at all." He smiled wickedly, and put up his finger, "I have a brilliant idea." Gamul shimmered out of the kitchen, and came back with Phoebe in his arms. He looked down her, "She'll do." He threw her in the air, and formed a fire ball. Leo orbed to the spot right under Phoebe, and caught her. He laid her down behind the three of them. The demon frowned, "You really aren't any fun at all; I really wanted to kill her. But you three will do." He threw the fireball that was in his hand at Leo. Leo slammed into the back wall, and was knocked unconscious. Prue waved her arm at the demon, and again it hit the back wall. This time it was pissed, "Aww…C'mon now. I was just starting to have fun. You're not playing nice…" He threw a handful of powder at Prue, but Piper froze it. "Well, at least I could do that." The demon growled with rage, and then turned invisible.

Piper groaned. "Where the hell did he go?" Prue backed up against her sister. "Just keep a watchful eye on your half of the room, and I will do the same for my half." "OK." Leo slowly opened his eyes and realized what the demon did. He saw a few colors swell a little, and realized that the demon was almost by Phoebe.

Leo saw that Phoebe was helpless, and then orbed in front of her as a shield. He was hoping that Piper would blow the demon up before he could become a big threat to Leo.

The demon then appeared right beside Phoebe. "You stupid whitelighter…you cannot protect her. I will kill her, and there is nothing that you can do about it." The demon laughed, and then snarled, "Get out of my way!" Leo refused to move, "Piper!" Piper noticed what Leo was trying to tell her, and gestured her hands to blow Gamul up. Nothing happened. She tried again, but nothing happened. Prue looked at Piper, "Aren't you going to blow him up?" "What the hell do you think I'm trying to do? Sign language?" "Oh. Sorry." Prue moved her hand at the demon again, but he shimmered out before any real harm could be done. He shimmered back in again right behind Leo. Gamul punched Leo in the back. "Hi, again!" Leo fell to his knees, and tried to suck in air. 

Paige woke up and watched helplessly as the demon played a shimmer game with the others.

Piper knew that she couldn't blow up the demon, and then tried to freeze the demon, but before she could bring her hands up to do so, he shimmered away from Phoebe and right behind Piper. He grabbed the back of her neck with his fingertips and started to choke her. Piper gasped for air, and then Prue orbed behind the demon, and tried to get him off of Piper. The demon growled, "Go away!" He threw a fireball at Prue, and she slammed into the cupboards. Glass shattered, and Prue fell to the ground, unable to move. Piper clawed at the demon's hands with her nails and looked at Paige with fear in her eyes. "I…..can't…….." Piper managed to say before the lack of oxygen caused her to pass out.

After the demon was satisfied with the unconscious Piper, he walked slowly to Phoebe. "Ya know, I kinda feel a little guilty…I should probably at least sing your baby a lullaby before I kill it…" He wickedly laughed. "And you…, of course." Phoebe, still in her premonition-state, heard what was going on, and knew that he might just kill Piper. She barely opened her eyes and caught a glimpse of the demon. She realized that the demon was talking to her, and knew immediately that her premonition was definitely of herself. The demon started to hum the lullaby. "La-La-La, La-La-La, Go to sleep little baby…" He was grinning and Phoebe wanted to throw up. He finally reached Phoebe and kicked her roughly. Phoebe cried out but could not do anything to protect herself; she was too weak. He kicked her again, and Phoebe again cried out. As he was going in for another kick, Phoebe heard Paige's weak voice close by, and then the pain overtook her. She passed out again.

***

Paige watched in horror as the demon kicked Phoebe. She weakly stood up and called, "Knife!"

The demon laughed cruelly…"I don't like you, witches, and I am going to kill you all before–"

"Well, I don't like you," said Paige and then orbed a knife into his stomach.

He screamed in pain and then threw fire at Paige. She dodged it and fell to her knees, her strength gone. The demon shimmered away from the manor, unable to withstand that much pain. She then called for Leo, who was unconscious on the floor. "Leo!...Oh, no. Piper! Phoebe! Oh, no. Somebody wake up! Prue! C'mon! Leo! Leo! Piper's in trouble! Wake up!" She crawled over to Leo; she didn't know if Prue could heal people. She gently shook him. His eyes flickered open, and he slowly sat up. He noticed the fear in her eyes, and tried as quickly as possible to stand up. He helped Paige up, but she couldn't support herself. Her knees buckled, and Leo caught her.

"Paige. What's wrong?"

Paige shook her head. "The demon threw powder stuff on me, and it's like I don't have any strength." He gently lowered her to the floor, and then walked across the room to heal Piper, who's lips were starting to turn blue.
