"I can't believe that after everything, she still doesn't feel like a part of this family." Phoebe said, shocked.
"We never really do anything together outside demon-vanquishing." Piper mused.
"We never really do anything period outside demon-vanquishing." Phoebe countered, only half joking.
Piper smiled and nodded in agreement. "Maybe that's part of the problem."
Before Phoebe could reply, Leo orbed in looking worried. "The Elders have found a demon they think may become the next Source."
"Already?!?" Piper asked. "I thoguht the Underworld would still be in chaos from the last vanquish."
Leo nodded. "That's what made it so easy for him to gain power so quickly. His name is Remler."
"Paige! Attic." Piper called.
"Book of Shadows?" Phoebe asked.
"Book of Shadows." Piper confirmed. They went upstairs, meeting Paige in the attic. Leo repeated to her what he had told her sisters.
"I don't get it..." she said slowly. "We vanquished the entire Council. Shouldn't that buy us a little time?"
"According to Them," Leo pointed upward, "the disaray in the Underworld has just made it easier for demons to gain power down there."
"Great." commented Paige dryly.
Piper stopped flipping through the BoS and looked up at her husband. "Is this him?" she asked, pointing to a picture of a man with black hair and creepy yellow eyes.
Leo looked at it and nodded. "Not much written here. It doesn't list his powers, or a vanquish. Just that he's a lower-level demon."
"Huh." Piper snorted. "Obviously not any more. The Source isn't exactly 'lower-level'".
"Well, seeing as this has been such a great help," Phoebe said, scowling at the book, "I think we should scry." The sisters stood around a map, and Paige held a crystal over it.
As the crystal landed on the cemetery, a strange look came over Phoebe's face. "He's in the masoleum." she said, her voice barely more than a whisper. The masoleum had been a special place for Phoebe and her demonic husband, Cole. She hadn't gone back there since the witches had had to vanquish him.
Piper squeezed her sister's hand.
"Honey, are you up to this?" Paige asked.
Phoebe nodded, and her voice became stronger as she spoke. "We should go quickly, before he moves. Paige, can you orb us to the cemetery?" Paige nodded and took her sisters hands. The three vanished from the attic in a swirl of bright, white lights.
