Manor, late night
"It's a trick, we can't let you go alone Piper," Paige stated.
"It's not like we have a choice, apparently they want me only. Don't worry Paige..."
Paige appears hurt, Piper continues in hopes to reassure her, "Phoebe prepared a spell for me to say. Everything will go as plan."
Paige nods her head defeated. Then Paige come across a realization, "No you don't! Phoebe and I can go with you too. Surely Raum wouldn't expect us there."
"That's were you're wrong. Believe me Paige, I thought about this a million times but that's what he wants. Raum anticipates that we'll go together, he's a physic and he knows our normal moves by heart."
"If he's a physic what make you think that he does anticipate that you go alone. Wha-"
"His powers don't work that way Paige. I'm the only one that met him earlier on in the day. He said things to me that no one knows about me. Trust me, Paige."
"I'm trying so hard to understand. If something happens to you... I don't know if I could handle another loss," Paige says as tears run down her face. Piper comes closer to Paige and wipes what tears she can away.
"You Paige are not going to lose me. I'm just going to do this and I'll come back. When I do we are going to have a long talk."
"Promise?"
"With all my heart." As soon as those words were exchange Phoebe comes down the stairs with spell in hand.
"Ok Piper shall we go over our plan," Phoebe asks.
"As soon as I see him I'll freeze his ass before he has a chance to make a move. Then I would say your spell thus vanquishing his ass."
"Perfect," Announces Phoebe. Paige looks at Phoebe wondering how she's able to deal with possibly sending her sister on a suicide mission.
"Piper I know we talk about this but what if Raum has something else in mind," Paige says softly.
"What do you mean?"
"Piper, you got to be kiddin' me. Don't you find it the least bit odd that he asked for you, the strongest Charmed one to come to him in the woods. I'm guessing that he really doesn't want to 'talk' to you."
"Paige relax he has that innocent with him and all he wants to do is to have me agree that he won't get in our way and we won't get in his. I wasted enough time I'm leaving and tell Leo when he gets back about our plan ok?"
"Fine, but why can't you wait a few more minutes 'till Leo comes back. Maybe the elders have info we could use," says Paige in hopes to stall Piper.
"The elders? Paige get real. I'm going now. Phoebe, Paige promise me you guys won't come. It's very important that I won't be distracted incase all else fails."
"Promise," both Phoebe and Paige said.
"Byes then, expect me here at 11." Piper walks out of the Manor heading to her car.
"Bye."
"See yeah." The remaining sisters say as they watch Piper leave off.

"Excellent the eldest is coming alone, Damaris," Says a handsome man who appears to be in his late 20's dressed in black.
"That's great my liege, are you positive though. What's to stop her sisters from coming along?"
"Have you no faith in me Damaris? I am quite shocked you doubt me. And yes I am positively sure she is alone. After all the eldest is a woman of her word."
"Quick my liege, I feel her energy coming closer it's so powerful. Even at this distance I never sense a power so strong. I can't wait to sense it in person and then steal it."
"Calm down Damaris she is still... twenty minutes away. Patience is worth the power. Now I think it is time to summon Orobos."
"No my liege it's not wise to summon that beast. Orobos is one greedy bastard who will likely end up killing us when all this is over."
"I know Damaris I am physic you know. Do not worry about Orobos he is not going to get his way with us. He will be too busy dealing with the middle and youngest. Then after he kills them he will be to weaken. The perfect opportunity for me to strike him down."
"What about the powers? Orobos will have the middle and youngest powers wouldn't he survive your attack?"
"No," was his simple answer.
"The perfect plan then my liege. I'm sorry I doubted you so."
"Good." He snaps his finger and Orobos appears.
"Bring the remaining Charmed ones. I want them to see this. Go." Orobos bows and leaves simultaneously.
