Chapter Six

"Ask the elders. right, like they ever help us," Paige rolled her eyes as she appeared in a very unfamiliar place. "All they like to do is confuse us with unneeded information mostly."

Paige walked around the new territory. She knew she shouldn't have orbed down to the underworld, but what was she to do? Let her sisters rot down there? Yeah right! She was taking matters into her own hands. She was never one for being calmed cool and relaxed.

"Now. how am I suppose to find them now that I'm here?" she asked herself wondering around praying that a demon wouldn't show up. "You'd better lose yourself in the music." Paige quietly sang to herself to keep the paranoia from kicking in.

"Oh who might you be?" said a voice from behind. "That witch perhaps?"

"Wh. ah!" Paige screamed as she turned around just in time to see a demon with an energy ball in hand. "Oh, wait, that scream was so unnecessary." Paige stated blankly and whispered "energy ball."

"Oh yeah? Well take this bitch and keep your mouth shut," said the demon as he brought his arm back and swung it forward as if throwing something. When nothing left his hand, he looked at her in confusion.

"Looking for this?" Paige asked with an evil look in her eyes as she threw the energy ball at the demon.

"Damn you witches," was the last thing it said before the energy ball hit him and he blew up, bits of the demon flying everywhere.

"What was that?" "Who's down here?" "What's going on?" Paige heard a crowd of people talking and running towards her.

"Time to fly," Paige laughed at her success and orbed away somewhere else in the under world.

Piper was pacing back and forth again in their small dimly light cave. "Phoebe I'm going to die of boredom down here. I feel so powerless!"

"Piper, honey, we are powerless. Just sit down here and wait for someone to save us. or let us die one or the other," Phoebe glanced up from where she was sitting on the ground, even though it was very uncomfortable. She was starting to lose hope in someone saving them, it had been probably a day that they'd been down there.

"Phoebe!" Piper screamed. "Don't you dare get the idea that we're going to die. I for one am not going to die down here. We may be powerless, but what about my baby? This room may block magic, but this baby has powers that give us a new surprise every day. All I have to do is try to figure out what to do to get them to work. Now let me concentrate."

"Okay whatever Piper," Phoebe said. "I really don't see anyway of getting out of here."

"Okay what's gotten into you Phoebe? You're not. right, if that seems possible," Piper stated with a far off look.

"I don't feel right either," Phoebe gazed straight ahead. "I think there's another power working in here Piper. Not just our being trapped. I can almost sense it. Another form of evil lingering over us." She glanced up at the top of the cave.

"What are you talking about Phoebe?" Piper asked with concern and came over beside her sister, sat down and looked into her eyes. Piper thought her sisters eyes looked empty.

"Piper. what would you say if." Phoebe trailed off.

"What?! What is it Phoebe?" Piper asked. Her sister started to look different in a whole new way.

"See, that's the thing Piper, I'm not."

"Paige?" Leo yelled through the house running down the stairs. "Where are you?"

Leo had just gotten back from the elders, who had very important information to give Phoebe. They had said that the demon Palacus was a demon different from the rest. He would trap witches alone with a demon or two, who pretend to be another trapped person. Most of the demons that were in the cave with the witch were shape shifters, who usually changed their form to someone the witch is familiar or allies with, making them open up and say things that are useful information.

"Paige. where are you?" Leo asked hopelessly. "I swear if you went down there, it wont be the demons you'll be afraid of."

Just then, his thoughts went back to Piper, his beautiful wife. What kind of mess are you in? He thought to himself. Oh my god, if you're trapped in a cave with a demon. thank god that you're invincible. But. where would Phoebe be if she's not with you? Leo tried sensing for the girls, but no go. None of them were up there.

"Time to break the rules, once again." He said as he was engulfed by the blue/white lights and disappeared.

*********************************************************************

"Piper? Paige? Leeeeooooo?" a voice rang through the under world. "Come on someone help me! I'm going to die out here," she said squirming, trying to come free from the ropes tied around her.

"Oh god what's that?" she said squinting into the darkness. A dark figure drew closer to her. "Paige? Piper? Is that you? Please say you're here to save me who ever you are."

At that moment, the figure leapt at her, and, covering her mouth to muffle her screams, untied her and dragged her away.
