Charmed At Last
Chapter 6: Hate Is Stronger Than Blood
Muffled moans of pain and agony were heard in the deep, blackness of an underground cavern. There was a thick, almost sickening, smell of mold and wetness. Shadows moved slowly through the darkness. Suddenly a deep red, ball of flames appeared in mid air. The dim light that the fire ball gave off, made out a man's figure. He looked tall, thin, and had jet black hair. His eyes were forest green, so dark that they could be mistaken for black. It was hard to tell much more because the light from the fire ball was so dim. "Piper..." The voice whispered. The voice was evil. The man took about 3 steps forward and the dim glow from the fire ball shown onto a smaller figure.
It was Piper. She was propt up against a stone wall. Her arms were held upright and her wrists were bound, with a glowing red light. Crimson blood trickled down from Piper's mouth.
"Piper..." The voice whispered again.
The voice sent chills up Piper's spin and she cringed in fear.
"Piper!" The voice yelled.
Piper flinched at the sudden burst of noise. "W..what the hell do you want?" Piper hissed, trying not to sound at bad as she felt. She flicked her fingers but a suddenly jolt of energy, rushed through her body. Piper's body involuntarily convulsed.
"I should've warned you...If you try to use your powers, you'll only get a jolt of pain." The man smirked. Then he let out a chuckle. "But it was fun to watch...So, maybe not telling you, was for the best?" The man laughed.
Piper cringed and then sent an icy glare towards the man.
The wicked smile disappeared from his face. "Anyway, you may call me....Marcus." The man said, his tone more firm now. The man paced around the dark cave for a moment, the fire ball was still glowing in his hand. Then he spun around. "I know what you really want. I can give it to you, but you must do something for me in return." Marcus said, in a low voice.
Piper glared. "If you know what I really want, then why don't you just kill yourself, and make my day?" Piper hissed.
"Ahh, humor. I like you, Piper, I really do." Marcus said.
"Well, it seems we have a problem then. Because I don't like you!" Piper retorted.
"It's too bad really, because you'll be seeing a lot of me. Anyway, I need you to umm...kill your sisters for me. Well, actually just Prudence and Paige." Marcus said in a normal tone, as if he were ordering a drink from a restaurant.
"What the hell?! Do you think I'm that stupid? I'm not going to just kill my sisters because you want me to." Piper yelled.
"No, you're not killing them because I want you to, you're going to kill them because you want what only I can give you." Marcus corrected.
"You can't give me anything that I want!" Piper countered.
"Well you see...." Marcus began.
"And then they disappeared in a puff of smoke." Phoebe finished. Her voice was trembeling along with the rest of her body.
"It's okay Pheebs. We'll get her back." Prue said, in a reassuring tone.
Paige just watched in awe. Prue had only been back for a few hours and was already taking the lead. Usually it would have been either Piper or herself, usually Piper, but sometimes Paige needed to step in.
"Paige, the Book of Shadows please." Prue said.
Paige nodded and orbed out.
Minutes later Paige orbed back in, holding the leather bound Book of Shadows. "Here we are." Paige said.
"Phoebe, what did he look like?" Prue asked.
"He was tall, thin, with jet black hair, and deep green eyes. Almost black." Phoebe described.
Prue held out her hand and telekinetically pulled the Book of Shadows into her hands. Prue narrowed her eyes and began to telekinetically flip through the old, yellowed pages of the book.
"I have a better idea." Paige said. Paige narrowed her eyes at the book. "Demon who witch-napped Piper." Paige said. The Book of Shadows orbed out and then moments later, orbed back in, turned to the page with a man fitting Phoebe's description of the demon.
"It says..'Marcus, the demon of your inner most desires. Marcus is an ancient demon that doesn't look a day over thirty. He has many power but his most powerful is to look into someone's heart and see their most inner thoughts and desires. He uses your inner thoughts and desires to manipulate you into doing what he needs done, in return for the one thing you want the most.' Well, he doesn't sound like the demon of my most inner desires." Prue said.
Phoebe reached out to take the book from Prue's hands. As her finger touched the page she felt a pulse of energy rush through her. Then she was sucked into a premonition.
*****Premonition*****
"Thank you!" Piper said. Piper leaned over to hug Paige and then suddenly blood started to drip from Paige's mouth. Piper pulled away and an atheme was sticking out of Paige's stomach. "That'll teach you. How dare you take my chance to have a baby away from me!" Piper yelled.
Moments later Prue ran in and saw Paige bleeding on the floor. "Paige!" Prue gasped.
Piper flicked her wrists, sending an extreme blast of exploding energy at Prue. The blast couldn't explode Prue, since Piper can't use her powers on her sisters, but the force of the air around Prue exploding, sent Prue crashing into the wall. Piper waved her hands again and the floor under Prue exploded, sending Prue smacking to the other side of the room. "And how dare you lie to me!" Piper screamed. Piper grabbed an athame from the table and threw it at Prue.
Prue waved her hand, telekinetically redirecting the athame into the wall.
*****Premonition*****
"Phoebe! What did you see?!" Prue and Paige asked in unison.
"Piper...she killed Paige and then tried to kill Prue!" Phoebe whispered, still shocked by her premonition.
"Where?" Prue asked.
"In the living room of the Manor. Paige and Piper hugged and while they hugged, Piper stabbed Paige in the stomach." Phoebe answered.
"Then what?" Paige asked.
"You fell to the ground then Prue walked in and Piper went after her!" Phoebe said.
"Did she kill me?" Prue asked.
"No, my premonition ended before I could see you get killed." Phoebe said.
"We have to find her!" Paige said.
"Scrying crystal?" Prue asked.
"Perfect. Scrying crystal and map!" Paige called. Paige held out her hand and then the scrying crystal and map orbed off a dusty attic shelf and orbed into Paige's hand.
Marcus handed an athame to Piper. "Are you ready to kill them?" Marcus asked.
"They're getting what they deserve." Piper said. Her eyes flashed from brown to red and then back to brown.
Marcus grabbed Piper's arm and they disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Marcus smoked in, with Piper.
Piper screamed. "Phoebe! Help, someone help!" Piper screamed. Piper began to wave her hands as if she were trying to freeze or blow up Marcus, but nothing happened.
Marcus created a huge fire ball.
Paige orbed into the room, holding Prue and Phoebe's hands.
"Fire ball!" Paige called. The fire ball quickly orbed out of Marcus' hand and orbed into Paige's hand. Paige sent the fire ball flying back at Marcus.
Marcus smoked out. Moments later they heard a chilling voice from the kitchen. "In here my little Charmed Ones!" Marcus' voice called from the kitchen.
Prue and Phoebe rushed into the kitchen.
"Thank you!" Piper said. Piper leaned over to hug Paige.
"Paige, orb!" Prue screamed.
Paige instantly orbed out as Piper was about to stab her. The athame fell to the ground.
Prue held out her hand and sent the couch flying at Piper, pinning her to the wall.
Paige orbed in with a pair of handcuffs. "Hand cuffs!" Paige yelled. The hand cuffs orbed out and orbed in on Piper's wrists, keeping her hands behind her back.
"What the..." Piper began. "Let me go!" Piper snapped.
"No, not until we've taken this spell or whatever off of you!" Phoebe's voice echoed through the house.
Piper's eyes scanned the room and then she noticed Phoebe walk in. "Phoebe! I thought you were with me!" Piper cried.
"I am, but I'm also not under a spell." Phoebe replied. TO BE CONTINUED....
