"Powers of the witches rise, Course unseen across the skies," Phoebe put a drop of her blood into the cauldron. "Come to us who call you near, Come to us and settle here." A white mist began to spread across the attic floor, but Paige did not appear. "Dammit!" Phoebe got up, and paced around the room, thinking. "Why isn't it working? Can he block her powers somehow? Maybe he is using a type of crystal?" Phoebe shook her head, and slowly began to descend the stairs. She slowly opened the door to her room, and was surprised to see Leo hunched over Piper, crying. Phoebe sadly looked at Piper, and walked over to her. She gently shook her awake, with Leo just looking at her, "Sweetie. It's me; it's Phoebe. I –" Phoebe looked at Leo, " – we – need your help. Paige is gone, and I need you to help me with the Summoning Spell." Piper quickly sat up, and allowed herself to forget about the demon, since she was more concerned about Paige. She looked around the room, confused. She shrugged the feeling off, and followed Phoebe up the stairs. Leo reluctantly got up, and followed them.
Phoebe entered the attic, and pointed to the cauldron, as if that would explain everything. Piper raised her eyebrows. Phoebe turned back to Piper, "I can't summon her. Something's wrong." Piper nodded her head, with a blank stare on her face. Then, as if lightning struck her, she jumped. She wildly looked around the attic, "They're here…" Phoebe looked at Piper with a confused expression on her face, but decided to trust Piper, "Alright Piper. How do you know that?" Piper looked at Phoebe crazily, "I can sense him. Oh, he's here." Piper looked into a dark corner of the room, and her hands began to shake by her sides. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, "I can feel him." She opened her eyes, and stared at Phoebe, "He's – " Piper was cut off suddenly, when the demon appeared in the corner, " – here." The demon stepped out of the shadows facing the girls, with his arms by his sides.
Piper's anger rose. She threw out her hands, and to everyone's surprise he froze. Piper looked down at her hands, and began to breathe heavily. Almost inaudible, she rhetorically asked, "I could use my powers the whole time?" Phoebe stared at Piper in amazement, but said nothing. Piper began to feel even guiltier than she already felt, but that shame quickly turned into hatred and anger. She quickly turned towards the demon, and gestured with her hands. His right arm blew up in little pieces and spread around the attic. Piper looked unfazed, and then continued to blow up his left arm. Phoebe quickly walked over to Piper, and pulled her sister's arm down. Piper glared at her, but then realized what she was doing, "Paige…"
Piper unfroze the demon's head, and was surprised that her freeze lasted that long. The demon howled in pain, "What the hell did you do to me, witch?" Piper replied sarcastically, and in a toneless voice, "What? You're sick of playing with me? Thought you'd just have your way? And then what? Take my goddamn sister?" Piper vented her anger on the demon for another few minutes, and then the demon spat in her face, "Get on with it, witch." Piper nodded her head, "Okay." She blew up his left arm, before Phoebe could stop her. He again wailed in pain, and angrily hissed, "What do you want?" Piper again nodded her head, and gave the demon a blank stare, "What do you think I want?" The demon nodded his head, "Fair enough." He nodded his head, and Paige appeared in the room, unconscious. Phoebe gasped when she saw how Paige looked. Her clothes were ripped and torn, and bruises were all over her body. Piper stared numbly at the demon, and waved her hands to blow him completely up. The demon shook his head, "I don't even think so." He nodded his head at her, and a knife appeared in her stomach. He smiled cruelly, as Piper fell onto the floor gasping. As Phoebe tended to Piper, the demon fought through her freeze, and disappeared.
