A/N: I'm sorry, this chapter is kinda short....But I realize the other chapter was a little short too, so they should even each other out.
Charmed At Last
Chapter 24: Mirrored Image
"'Eocasus'?" Penny repeated, with a little gasp.
"Yeah. Why, what's wrong?" Paige asked, noticing Penny's reaction.
"He is an extremely powerful demon! I battled him years ago, when he tried to kill Patty. She was twelve and he turned her back to a two-year-old. My magic was like a nat compared to his power! I was barely powerful enough to change Patty back and bind him in time." Penny replied.
"So, how do we stop him?" Paige asked.
"We need to turn these six back." Penny said.
"Or what?" Paige asked.
"You'll all die...." Penny whispered.
"Do Prue, Piper, and Phoebe have their powers right now?" Paige questioned.
"No. Since they didn't have powers when they were younger and they are changed back to that state, they don't have them now. They're defenseless." Penny answered.
"But if we need Prue, Piper, and Phoebe to vanquish him and we can't get them back without vanquishing him...what are we suppose to do?" Paige asked.
"Look in the book for more clues." Penny instructed.
Paige nodded and read the page a few times and then finally turned to a new page. "Grams! Look! It says he has a demonic assistant...a female. Named Myra and a picture of her too." Paige said, as she pointed to the page.
Penny walked over to the book and looked at the page, with slight confusion. "And?" Penny asked.
Paige grinned. "I'll show you..." Paige said. She orbed out.
Patty looked over at Penny. "Mother, where'd she go?" Patty asked.
"I..." Penny began, but was cut off, as she watched Paige orb back in.
Paige held up a bowl of water and set it on the floor. "I made this spell up a while ago...Water, water, in thy bowl, shift and form, to show my foe!" Paige recited. The water began to swirl around and then it settled. A young woman's face appearing in the bowl. Then the image grew to show all of the woman walking into an old herbs shop, a few blocks down from a Starbucks that Paige frequently visits. She walked to a wall and a light shown down on her, then she walked through the wall. "The 'Mirror, Mirror' spell from Snow White gave me the idea for the waer spell.." Paige whispered.
"And this helps us how?" Penny asked.
"A lot!" Paige answered. With that, she shapeshifted into the young woman. "Get it now?" Paige asked.
A smile crept onto Penny's face. "Brilliant, Paige!" Penny agreed.
