Sorry I took so goddamn long, but I just never got the chance to sit down
at the computer and type up my story! Well, here's the next chapter
anyway...

Chapter 4
Life
Piper touched Phoebe's hand and looked at her reassuringly.
" In my premonition, the demon hit you and Paige with a purple beam. During the fight, he hit me with one. After he hit me, I didn't remember anything about the beams or what he looked like. When I woke up a few minutes ago, there was a voice whispering in my head, tell me to kill you because otherwise you'd kill me somehow. It had me completely under control. I think that's what the purple beam does. It gives the demon mind control over whoever he manages to hit it with."
" If you forgot about the beam after you were hit by it, how come you remember now?" Piper asked.
" Maybe because someone stopped me from completing my task, and that stops the effect of the beam. Something like that. I don't know. We need to look in the Book of Shadows." At that moment, Phoebe glowed purple again. A bright purple mist lifted off her and disappeared.
" Whoa." said a shocked Piper.
" What the-?" exclaimed Paige, and Leo said. "Are you okay?"
" Yeah. I think that was the purple stuff releasing its hold on me."
" Well, let's get some sleep and we'll work on it tomorrow." Piper said as tried unsuccessfully to stifle a huge yawn. Everyone agreed and returned to their respective beds.

The girls clattered up the stairs to the attic, chattering along the way.
" Paige, are you sure you don't need to be in L.A.?" asked Piper as they appeared in the attic.
"Yeah. I'm done with the interview. I said I'd be gone for two days because I wanted some time to myself and, you know, maybe meet a guy." said Paige. "Hey. Don't ever lie like that to me again, young lady." scolded Piper.
"Okay, Mom." said Paige, grinning. Piper gave her a playfully disgusted look.
"Alright guys. Let's be serious. We need to find purple demon here." said Phoebe, who was beginning to get annoyed.
"All right, all right." said Piper as she started flipping. She was standing behind the Book during the conversation and now Phoebe joined her.
" We already know about the purple beams. What did he look like?" Piper kept flipping.
" Well, he had shoulder length black hair, really sharp facial features, big nose, really nasty and evil looking. Kinda like Wormtongue in The Two Towers." Phoebe rattled off.
"That him?' Piper paused her flipping and pointed to a picture of a demon.
"Yes. That's him." Phoebe shuddered as she studied the page.
Reading out loud, Piper said: " 'Zonath- an upper level possession demon with the power to tap into minds and manipulating his victims by hitting them with a purple beam. A piece of the victim's soul is acquired through this action in the form of a purple orb. Using this, he can tap into the victim's minds and implant evil thought too strong to resist. Such a possessed being can only be depossessed when he is preventing from fulfilling the task implanted in his mind, which has never happened; or by destrustion of the orb itself.' Then it says he can only be vanquished by the Power of Three and there's a spell here."
"Great! We don't have to come up with a spell or make potions! This is going to be easier than I thought." said Paige enthusiastically.
"I wouldn't be too sure. Look what happened to me." said Phoebe.
"Good Point." remarked Piper.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"FOOL!" yelled Zonath angrily, " You didn't tell me the witch was still alive!" Zonath raged around the cavern.
The blonde demon, kneeling on one knee on the ground, tried to remain somewhat calm.
" I didn't get a chance to report to you before you left. I was still recovering from the effects of that spell."
"Why didn't you kill her?" asked Zonath angrily.
" She sensed I was there when I shimmered in, somehow. She levitated above my energy ball and used a spell on me. It was a Power of Three spell and she was only one, so it only injured me. I'm fine now."
" I don't care how you feel! " Zonath burst out. Then, more quietly, " There will be no more mistakes." He secretly readied an energy ball.
'I underst- AHHHH!!!!!" The demon disintegrated as the energy ball hit.
"Now where was I? Ah yes. The plan has changed. The eldest will perfect for my plans. She is the strongest and will be a formidable addition to the forces of evil. Also, she carries a child, one who will become the most powerful magical being the world has ever seen. Once her sisters are dead, I will turn her, make her mine and raise the child in the Underworld to become the most powerful evil and the new Source- Throught him, I will rule the world!"
