CHAPTER 27: AUGUST 2
"Greg! I think I know where Wyatt went." Paige just pointed at the open door with her mouth hanging open. Greg raced outside, soon followed by Paige and together they searched every room in the upstairs. Paige came out of Phoebe's room as Greg came running out of Wyatt's room. Neither of them had to say anything, they both raced upstairs into the attic to search for Wyatt. The only problem was that the attic was so big, he could be hiding anywhere. Paige tried to sense him and could barely tell where he was. She knew he was in the attic somewhere but couldn't get an exact read. Greg finally found him. "Paige!" he whispered, "I think I found him." Greg pointed to the old couch that had a blanket thrown on one of the cushions. At first no one noticed but when they looked closely, the blanket was moving and laughing. Paige sprinted over to the couch and ripped the blanket off to reveal a hysterical one year old. "Hide and seek!" he was squealing, hide and seek was his favorite game recently and it appeared as though Wyatt thought this was one big game. Paige lifted him up and grabbed Greg's hand before orbing everyone into the master bedroom.
Piper had been calling Paige for quite a while now and was starting to worry. "Leo maybe you should go check on them, I'll watch guard at your door while you're gone."
"No, I'm not leaving you alone. Besides, I can sense them, no one is in any danger." Leo replied to his nervous wife. That was not entirely true though, he knew Paige was upstairs somewhere but very worried. He tried sensing Wyatt and found that he was upstairs too but very excited and happy. Leo had grown increasingly worried but had to hide it from Piper and Phoebe. Just when he was about to tell them what Paige was thinking, she orbed into the room. "Sorry, got preoccupied with the girls. Leo go!" Rather than stand there and argue with Paige for worrying everyone, Leo orbed into his bedroom.
Greg was sitting in the rocking chair, rocking Wyatt to sleep. "So what really happened?" he whispered. "Oh, sorry, the girls woke up and I needed Paige's help to calm them down again."
"Suuuuuure." Replied skeptically, "so did anything else eventful happen while I was gone?" he questioned, walking into the nursery to pick up Prudence who had just started crying.
"Paige and I set a date for the wedding."
"Oh really, when?" Leo came out of the nursery, cradling his oldest daughter in his arms.
"We decided on May 27th so that way the girls will be at a better age and we know Wyatt will be able to walk by then."
"Perfect. Did you guys decide on anything else yet?"
"Yeah, we started on the guest list. I decided not to invite my mom or brother. I don't know what to do about Jason though. I mean he's a great guy and all but has Phoebe told him the big secret yet?"
"I don't think she's told him yet but who knows, by then she might have. You never know with Phoebe. She might be taking it a lot slower since Cole and all. She took such a huge leap marrying him and then he went all evil." Leo had been looking down at Prudence so he didn't notice the confused expression on Greg's face.
"Umm…..this may be none of my business but…..who's Cole?"
Leo just looked up at Greg, dreading what he had to do. Cole was a sensitive subject for all of them and no one liked mentioning him, let alone retelling the story. "Oh wow, I totally forgot. It feels like you've been part of this family forever. Well he was Phoebe's ex-husband and also the ex-source of all evil. It's a long story and I don't think now is the right time to be telling you, and I'm definitely not the right person to be telling you."
"It's okay, I understand. Wow, you're right, it does feel like a lot longer than six months."
"Yeah well you've been practically living here for the past couple months. It's hard not to get attached to any of them. That got me into quite a bit of trouble a couple years ago. Well you know about that don't you?"
"About what you and Piper went through? Yeah Paige told me all about it, I can't believe all they put you two through and you still fought evil for them. If anyone tried to do that to Paige and I, I would have given up everything. Well no offense."
"None taken. I did contemplate clipping my wings for her but I just couldn't. I had been doing this for over 50 years, it was who I was, and Piper didn't want me to either. I told her I would but she wouldn't hear of it. I just stayed close by in hopes we could work it out some day and we did. Hey what's taking them so long?" It had been at least 15 minutes since Leo orbed out and that was abnormal. Something like that usually took a couple of minutes.
Paige forgot to write the summoning spell so she had to sit down at the kitchen table with Phoebe and Piper to write it. She had been expecting lectures and yelling but no one said a word. They just sat at the table and wrote. It was a couple of minutes before Piper realized they could use the Belthazor summoning spell. "Oh hey, why don't we just tweak the Belthazor summoning spell a little? Pheebs, do you still remember it?"
"Yes I do, okay are we ready to do this?"
"As ready as we'll ever be." Replied Paige, looking up from the table. Fear was noticeable in her eyes but all three of them were aware they had the same look. "Now, how exactly are we going to do this?" she continued. Phoebe led them into the dining room where she took everything off the dining room table. " We say the summoning spell, the demon appears, Piper freezes him, I run out from behind the doorway and slice a piece of flesh then we use the spell to send him back which I took from the spell we used when we fought Barbus."
"Okay and sorry I didn't get to write the spells, things got a little crazy up there, the kids kept waking up." Paige hated lying to her sisters but she jut couldn't tell Piper that she spent an hour talking to her fiancée while her son was running around with a demon on the loose. Paige helped Piper and Phoebe turn over the table as kind of a barricade. Piper and Paige ducked behind the table and started chanting while Phoebe hid behind the doorway with an athame in her hand.
"Magic forces black and white,
reaching out through space and light,
be he far or be he near,
bring us the demon Glick here"
The wind started to pick up and looked like there was a tiny tornado forming in the middle of the entranceway. The wind eventually subsided and Glick appeared. Piper froze him before he could change into his demonic form. Phoebe ran out and sliced his finger off while making a face and squealing. She ran back behind the table after putting the finger into the Ziploc bag she had ready.
"Sage so fair from far
and wide,
Take our demon and cast it aside."
The wind picked up again and the demon was gone. Phoebe grabbed the bag and ran into the kitchen followed by Paige and Piper. She was about to drop the finger into the pot when she remembered what happened when Piper added the Belthazor flesh to the potion. "Hey Paige, wanna put the finger in?"
"No way, I put the flesh into the Sikes vanquishing potion and got blown away, it's all you."
Phoebe groaned and dropped the finger into the pot, being careful not to touch it. She tried to step back but it was too late. The potion blew up and Phoebe was knocked back onto the floor where she stayed for a moment before getting up and giving her sisters a dirty look.
A/N: Hope you liked it and sorry about all the spell borrowing but I'm terrible at writing spells.
