Chapter Two: Scott

"Come on, Phoebe! Let's get out of here!" Paige yelled at her sister.

"But. Cole." Phoebe said, but it came out as a whisper.

"Phoebe! We need to get home, and get this man safe!" Paige exclaimed.

"Yeah. Okay." Phoebe replied, slowly moving away from Cole, but not taking her eyes off of him for a minute. Paige reached for Phoebe and put her arm over her shoulder. Phoebe reached for the man and grabbed his hand. Paige orbed into the manor and let go of Phoebe.

"Piper! Leo!" Paige called.

~~~~~

Piper and Leo were watching Melinda sleep for about thirty minutes before Paige called them. They didn't want to leave their daughter, but they knew that whatever Paige had to say was probably more important. They walked down the stairs to find Paige, Phoebe, and a strange man in the living room.

"What's up, Paige?" Leo asked.

"There is a demon killing people with an athame. Phoebe knocked him out for now, but he is probably an upper level demon, because he throws fire balls, and only upper level demons can do that, right?" Paige said.

"Cole is dead." Phoebe said, but everyone ignored her.

"You guys should probably go check the book, but first, who is he?" Leo said, looking at the man.

"I don't know." Paige said. "Who are you?"

"Scott Etteuqra. I was walking down the street and then these girls started chasing me down, and then they were all magical and killed this big blue dude, and then they teleported me here." Scott replied.

"You. followed him!?" Leo asked, incredibly surprised that Paige and Phoebe would do that.

"Phoebe had a premonition, and she saw him get killed, so." Paige explained.

"Cole is dead." Phoebe said. She was completely out of it, and in a trance. The only thing she does is stare at the wall and say, 'Cole is dead.'

"Is there something wrong with her?" Scott asked, "I mean, is she usually like this?"

"No. Her. uh. her. actually she's just kinda shaken up." Paige replied.

"You two go look in the book, I'll talk to Scott and explain to him why it has to be a secret." Leo said. Paige nodded and took Phoebe's hand. She dragged Phoebe up the stairs and into the attic. All of the sudden, everyone in the house heard Melinda scream. It wasn't just a 'feed me' or a 'I woke up' kind of scream, it was more like a bloody murder. Paige looked at Phoebe and ran out of the attic.
