C'mon! Why haven't I gotten any reviews yet? I know I'm a newbie, but
you've gotta give me a chance here!
Again, unless I get a huge stoke of luck, or I become a witch and cast a spell to make it so, I do not own Charmed or any of its characters, except for the two demons. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter two Blondes and Red Dresses
At her office, Phoebe was diligently working on answering her letters. She was particularly engrossed by one letter from a young girl asking for advice on how to deal with her older sister. Wow, she thought, I can totally relate to this. She's just like me. What she didn't know was that just a few feet behind her, a demon shimmered in. It was the blonde- haired demon. Just as she was beginning to type an answer to the letter she was reading, she was sucked into a premonition. In it, she sees herself working, typing something on the computer. In front of her is the same letter she was about to answer before the premonition. Behind, a demon shimmers in, readies a fireball, and throws it at her. The premonition ends as it hits her. Realizing her predicament, Phoebe automatically levitated, and just in the nick of time, because she heard the energy ball crash into her desk exactly where she would have been sitting.
"How in the world am I going to explain that?" muttered Phoebe as she landed and faced the demon. Quickly, she unfolded a piece of paper she'd grabbed as she levitated and began reading.
"Demon here in my sight You will not live past this night. Too many innocents you have killed Your hand now and forever is stilled."
The energy ball the demon was about to toss disappeared and he yelled in pain as smoke began to rise from him. He shimmered out quickly.
"Dumb blonde. Damn. He's still alive. That was a Power of Three spell." Phoebe muttered to herself as she dialed Piper's cell phone number on her office phone. Piper was wiping the bar counter of P3 when her cell phone rang. She ran into hr office to answer it before whoever it was hung up.
"Hello? This is Piper.'
"Piper, I just got attacked by a demon. Upper level. My spell only hurt it. We need the Power of Three." Phoebe let it all out in one breath.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa , Phoebe. Slow down. Where are you?"
"At my office."
"Alright then. Go to the manor as soon as possible. I'll meet you there. Alright. Bye." Piper flicked the cell phone shut, slung her purse over her shoulder, and headed out of her office toward the door.
"Rachel, I have to go. Something came up. Cover for me until I call, will ya?"
An "okay" came from the other side of the club. A young brown-haired woman about the same age as Piper came out of the employee area.
" Sure thing. Go ahead. Don't want to keep them waiting." She smiled.
Piper smiled back gratefully and made for the door. She climbed into her blue Jeep Grand Cherokee and sped off, praying she wouldn't get a speeding ticket. Back at Phoebe's office, Phoebe grabbed her purse, thankfully unscathed, from the wreckage of her desk. There was now a nice gaping hole burnt and smashed out of it. She hurriedly lowered the blinds on the window so no one would see the mess inside and locked the door behind her. Phoebe rushed to the door telling her boss as she passed her,
" I've gotta go. Something came up. A family thing. I'll be back as soon as possible."
"But you've got a deadline. I've got a deadline." said Elise, her boss.
" I know, but this can't wait." Before Elise could respond, Phoebe was gone.
" I hate it when she does that." grumbled Elise to herself.
Phoebe arrived at the manor just after Piper. The door slammed open twice and shut once. Leo was up like a shot at the first one
"What happened? What are you doing home early?" he said, more than a bit surprised.
"Attic. Book of Shadows. Now. Explain later." commanded Piper, pointing to the stairs. Everyone marched up to the attic. No one refused Piper's orders, ever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Looks like the demon that attacked you was just an ordinary upper level demon. Nothing special." said Piper, closing the book with a bang.
"That doesn't explain why he attacked me. Regular demons don't usually attack by themselves. They usually work for someone else."
"Well, then, who was he working for?" asked Piper.
"I don't know, but I've a feeling we're going to need Paige, at least to vanquish blondie demon." said Phoebe.
"That's easy," Piper directed her next words towards the ceiling. "Paige! PAIGE! Get your ass down here! We need-" "Alright, alright, I'm here already, What do you want?" A set of blue lights formed as Paige orbed in.
"Whoa. Where were you? At Playboy?" Phoebe stared at Paige in astonishment. Paige looked down. She was wearing a sexy, tight, spagetti strapped dress that showed a lot of, um, cleavage.
"At a party?" Paige said unconvincingly.
" Ohmigod. You were trying to get a guy, weren't you?" Piper said accusingly.
" Yeah, so what? His name's Xander and he's really nice. Not to mention really hot...." Paige trailed off with a dreamy look on her face.
"What kind of name is Xander?" asked Phoebe, wrinkling her nose. "I'll have to talk to you later. Right now we have to-" as Phoebe took Paige's hand, a premonition grabbed her. They were in the attic, all acing each other and Phoebe saw herself take Paige's hand and start pulling her toward the Book of Shadows. Then she saw a demon with long black hair flame in and hit both Piper and Paige with a purple beam. The premonition ended as Piper and Paige flew backwards. Phoebe exhaled sharply. Both sisters reached to help her and Piper asked,
"Are you okay? What did you see?"
Over her sisters' shoulders, she saw the demon from her premonition flame in.
"That."

Like the cliffhanger? Pleez pleez pleez review for me! I feel unappreciated! I no there's no action yet, but it's coming. Again, sorry for the Buffy references (there's more later) but this ep goes right into my next one, and all these refs kinda tie in.
Again, unless I get a huge stoke of luck, or I become a witch and cast a spell to make it so, I do not own Charmed or any of its characters, except for the two demons. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
