Chapter Nine: Wrong Time to Visit
"Paris!" Leo called to her as the demon shimmer behind her.
Paris turned quickly and levitated into the air and over the demon, escaping his grasp. Piper froze him and the three charmed ones, and Paris said a spell to locate the demons boss. The crystal swung forcefully spinning and the finally landed its tip on the mausoleum.
"Aright you know what to do." Piper told Paris who grabbed the frozen demon's arm and shimmered to the location pointed out by the crystal, while Leo orbed the charmed ones.
The demon unfroze as soon as Paris had shimmered into the mausoleum, but Piper froze him again. Thankfully they all arrived at the same time. The five of them now stood in front of an old tomb.
Looking around Paige asked "Where is he?"
"I don't know, the crystal said that the boss was here." Piper replied examining the room.
"What type of demon was it again?" Paris asked. Apparently the demon had attacked Jason the night she had been out with Neal. Jason was in some sort of coma after the attack and they assumed it was because of the demon. She hadn't had the time with them to do the research because of her date. She had only been told the plan and now saw the demon.
"Dazzler." Leo told her.
Paris suddenly turned "What did the book say?" She prayed they knew what they were up against.
"That it usually has other demons do its dirty work, and it creates illusions that cause its victims to fall under a spell that renders them in his complete control." Paige said.
"Did it say that it only appears on cemetery grounds, and that it's an upper level demon that feeds on the dreams of the victim that its henchman brings?" Paris asked. Suddenly the Dazzler demon appeared in front of Piper.
"No it sort of skipped that part!" Phoebe responded as she began combat with the demon. Piper blew up the demon's henchman seeing it had served its purpose in finding the Dazzler. Paris ran to her mother's side and threw an energy ball at the demon, and it turned to ash.
"Do we have a box or something?" Paris asked hurriedly. "No, why?" Paige questioned her niece.
"It can only be killed by the power of three. I'm not the power of three, and that wasn't a heavily energized ball. It will come back to life in." Paris thought for a moment then said "an hour."
Leo took off his jacket and handed it to Paris. "Here use this."
Paris put the ashes onto Leo's jacket and held it like it was a grocery bag.
Piper looked confused "Why don't we just say the spell over its ashes?"
"Because the spell only works when he is in his alive form." Paris told her matter of factly. "Let's get back to the house, met me in the attic." Paris shimmered into the attic her back facing the door. When she turned she dropped the ashes. "Neal! What the hell are you doing here? Y-you have to go now!" She cried.
Neal looked frowned "Not exactly a hello, but it'll do."
Paris rolled her eyes. "Go away!"
"Why?" he thought she would be happy to see him.
"Because my mom and-" she began but was stopped when she saw the blue light appear in the room, and her family appeared looking at the boy in the room.
Neal turned and looked at it, his eyes wide. "Don't worry; I won't let them hurt you!" He started an energy ball in his hand and threw it.
Piper froze the blue ball of energy. "Hi; what are you doing in our house? And would you please give me my niece?"
Neal was now really confused. "Niece?"
Paris rolled her eyes, and walked over to her aunt. "Sorry, he was just leaving." She prayed they wouldn't ask any questions.
"Hold it!" Phoebe said throwing her hands in the air. She pointed to the boy. "Who is that?"
"I'm Neal." Neal told her. He had just figured out that he had made a huge mistake by coming by unexpected. He also remembered that Paris was related to the charmed ones, and now felt really stupid at throwing the energy ball at Paris's aunt.
"Okay, and why is a demon in our attic, and why was he going to protect you?" Paige questioned. Just as things looked like they couldn't get any worse, a fire erupted into the room revealing a man. The man looked around and saw the boy, and his eyes widened and his expression was one of pure anger. "NEAL WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!" Cole yelled at the demon in training.
Everyone now looked from the girl to the boy then to the girl.
"I can explain." Paris replied with a frown.
"You better." Phoebe stated.
Cole hadn't opted on talking but throwing fireballs at the boy. Paris saw this and quickly moved Neal out of the path of danger. Cole looked at his daughter in shock "What did you do that for?!"
"He was just leaving." Paris told her father. "Please don't kill him."
"He's a demon! We have to kill him!" Paige reminded Paris.
"Not this one." Paris said more as a question than a command.
"Why?" Leo asked he crossed his arms round his chest.
"This is my fault." Neal began "I had just come to visit Paris. I didn't mean to get her into trouble."
"Are you dating a demon?" Piper asked Paris.
Paris nodded slowly. All eyes widened.
Paige stared at Paris in shock then said "Like mother like daughter."
Phoebe turned and glared at Paige, then walked over to her daughter. "Honey, you don't want to date a demon." She looked at Cole from the corner of her eye "It doesn't end up well."
Paris just smiled at her mother's statement. "Technically he isn't a demon yet." she hoped that that would ease the tension of Neal's demon-ness.
"What do you mean?" Paige asked.
"I'm training to be one." Neal pointed out.
Paige gave a look of disgust "Why would anyone want to do that?"
Cole rolled his eyes at Paige "Neal, you were not supposed to go near her."
Phoebe smiled inwardly seeing that Cole was being a protective father, and that he didn't approve of the relationship, the same as Phoebe.
"I'm sorry your grace, it couldn't be helped. You yourself married-" Neal was cut off by Paris's hand over his mouth to stop his comment.
"Mom." Paris looked at her mother then to her father "Dad." she then looked at the other members of her family "everyone. I am so sorry that I didn't tell you as soon as it happened but, I didn't know how to bring it up. And don't worry I think this is a little different form the last time this sort of thing happened because well if he tries to kill me I can kill him easily. I know; I know; bad girl. But I really couldn't help it. I'm sorry."
"I won't hurt her or you." Neal added tying to help.
"I don't think we have much of a choice in the matter do we." Phoebe replied her tone firm. She didn't exactly like the idea but she was glad her daughter was being honest; also she couldn't help realize how much her daughter was like her.
Paris shook her head. "I mean, I am your daughter, so we both know that our type doesn't listen to others when it comes to men."
Phoebe gave a little laugh. Paige glared at Neal, and then looked at her niece. She loved the girl and wanted her to be happy, but she didn't trust any demon, even one in training. "We'll be watching you buddy." Paige told the boy.
"I second that!" Piper added. She knew that it was possible to turn a demon in training, but she still didn't want Paris getting hurt.
Leo wasn't sure. "I'm going to check with the elders." He orbed from the room.
^^That went better than expected.^^ Paris thought to herself. She saw Neal looking at the book of shadows and she ran quickly over to him. "Don't touch."
He looked at her and questioned her advice "Why?"
"It will hurt you. Evil can't touch it." She told him. He nodded and turned to face her family.
Cole had been quite for a while thinking about the situation at hand. Now he decided he was going to put in his two cents even though it would have no effect on his daughter's decision "if you hurt her. I'll kill you." Cole glared at him and Neal just nodded in replied.
"Alright." Piper decided to change the subject. "Spell for Dazzler." She walked to the book of shadows, and found the page on the Dazzler.
"I'll write one." Paige replied and orbed downstairs to get a sheet of paper and something to write with. When she returned she saw that Cole was still in the attic as well as Neal. She moved to the couch and began to write a spell.
"What happened?" Neal asked.
"Dazzler demon's henchman attacked Jason causing him to go into a coma." Paris told him.
"And the only way to wake him up is to kill the demon." Phoebe added.
"Oh." Neal nodded in understanding.
"Who's Jason?" Cole asked.
The women in the room's faces went blank, except for Paige who smiled as she told him "Phoebe's boyfriend."
"Boyfriend." Cole echoed.
"Done with that spell yet?" Phoebe gave the evil eye to Paige who ignored her sister's gaze, but nodded in reply.
"Anyone know how to wake him up because Wyatt needs attention." Piper said.
"I do." Cole answered and waved his hand over the ashes, and the demon appeared.
The three charmed ones began the spell "From the power of our hands, Where the opposition now stands, Dream of owner now return, The demon now is no concern." When the spell had been said the demon disappeared in a large fire. Neal stared at the spot where the Dazzler stood, and he knew not to mess with the three witches. He had no intention of doing so in the first place, but he now understood why they were so feared.
"I should go check to see if Jason is awake." Phoebe stated.
"I'll drive you." Paige replied and the two left the room.
Cole walked to his daughter and hugged her, and then he motioned to Neal to leave as well, as he vanished in a ring of fire. Neal nodded to Piper and gave Paris a kiss goodbye, and shimmered out of the charmed ones attic.
Paris turned to Piper. "I hope that you don't think I-"
Piper put her hand up to stop her "It's not exactly what we had expected, but we will try to support your decision." Piper gave her a small smile. "We just want you to be happy, but if he screws up. He's vanquished without question. No one messes with our girl."
Paris smiled and gave her aunt a hug, who returned the gesture. ^^I hope that it works out better for them than Phoebe and Cole.^^ Piper thought.
The two then went to check up on Wyatt.
