A/N- sorry if you have the same names as the baddies. Also, I don't own charmed. So Don't Sue
* * * * * * * * * * * * Phoebe was at the table, toying with a glass of red wine and wondering where Cole had got to. He didn't usually take this long, but he might have been chased by bounty hunters. she was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't hear the slight pop as Yvonne appeared in the corner. She quickly turned invisible; surprised that anyone was in here. Yvonne looked closely at the witch. She was the one she had to taint. But how in the name of the Underworld was she supposed to taint her wine while she was holding it? She cocked her head as she heard voices in the next room. Paige walked quickly down the stairs, feeling very refreshed after her sleep. She walked into the living room, where piper was resetting the pillows. "That was quick." said Paige, glancing around the room. Piper looked up, startled. She hadn't heard her younger half sister enter. "What was?" she asked confused. "All this" Paige gestured around the room, which was now pretty much spotless. "Huh? Oh, Leo sort of 'healed' the table and couch, so it wasn't that hard to clean. Besides you've been asleep for about four hours, you know." Paige looked at the clock, which had not been touched during the previous battle, and saw that Piper was right. "Whoa. Sorry I was asleep during the clean-up." Yvonne crept in, still invisible. She ginned craftily. She had her diversion. She flicked a finger at the wife and the pale one. They went flying into a wall. She leapt out of the way as the other which raced in. She created a demon projection, which snarled at the witches and raced out of the room. She went into the kitchen and hurriedly placed the powder into the wine. It fizzed and turned green, before returning to the dark red of a vintage wine. She 'popped' out.
* * * "Ow!" Yelped Piper as Phoebe extracted her from the wall. She turned, half suspecting to see her outline imprinted on the wall. Paige with pulling herself from the plaster, wincing as it scratched her sides. "Boy, am I having a bad day. First I was skewered by a badly broken table leg, and then I was thrown into the wall be a demon who was too much of a coward to stay and be vanquished." Phoebe grinned at her. "But this is much more interesting than if you weren't a witch" She helped her up. They stood examining the damage done. There were to holes in the wall, and part of the wood had broken. Leo rushed in. "Another attack?" he asked Piper as he examined her back for wounds. "Yeah, a demon. He ran away, though." Leo's hands glowed yellow as he healed the bruises on Pipers back. He turned and did the same to Paige, shrinking the cuts from the plaster at the same time. They walked into the kitchen, still discussing the demon. "What type was he?" asked Phoebe, sitting down at the table. "I didn't get a good look at him, unfortunately." Shrugged Piper "He must have been a high level -" Phoebe touched her glass and got a premonition. Three figures stood around a fire, chanting in some unknown language. The fire turned into a column of flame. She was thrown out of the premonition. "What happened?" asked piper, worried. Phoebe had turned and unhealthy pallor. Phoebe drank deeply from her glass before saying what happened. "I wonder why you got it from the glass?" said Paige, puzzled. "Maybe the demon touched it before?" Phoebe nodded, staring at the glass. "Yeah, that might be it."
* * * The image in the fire faded. Clarissa turned and glared furiously at Yvonne. "She saw us!" she screeched, making John wince and rub his ears "What if the witch works out that someone else touched her glass?! The whole plan will be ruined!" "Not if we do it now, it won't," snapped Yvonne "If we do it know they will be unsuspecting. They've had 'two' attacks today, so why should there be anymore?" Clarissa snorted in disgust and turned away. John looked from one to the other nervously, and then asked "Er. So what is the plan? No one has told me." "The plan is to transform them each into a mythological human hybrid." Yvonne told him "We can then drain their powers, giving us what we need to take over the underworld and unleash a full attack on the world, plunging it into darkness and giving us full control." Clarissa nodded in satisfaction. "But we should wait until they are separated," she voiced "They will not want to be discovered. We can then go and drain there powers easily. They will not be hybrids, but full creatures." She gazed smugly at the caged animals, who stared back silently. "Just like them."
