The One Place You Aren't Protected
Chapter one-
*******
"Piper!! Get in the car!!" Screamed Phoebe as a fireball hurdled towards her.
Piper threw up her hands and the fireball ceased yet the demons didn't.
"Come on! Lets get out of here!" Agreed Paige, reving the car up as if to challenge someone to a drag race.
"We can't leave now, I know we aren't prepared but..." Piper trailed off as the demon threw a lightning bolt at her. She jumped out of the way and the demon snarled.
"Okay I change my mind lets get out of here!"
Phoebe and Piper jumped into the car but quickly jumped out as several more demons appeared each holding fireballs and one demon had blown up their car.
"My car!" Exclaimed Piper, her eyes blazing with fury.
She had saved up for years to buy it.
"Be lucky that it wasn't you Piper" Yelled Paige over the commotion as she grabbed Pipers hand and orbbed both Phoebe, Piper and herself out of harms way.
The Demons cursed as the Charmed Ones dissappered. The were mad, not so much for letting them go but at what was going to happen to one of them.
The leader (Demetris) will soon learn of their encounter and kill of their kind for letting them escape. They cursed yet again and took their fury out on a mortal couple holding hands by blowing them to smitherings.
They shimmered out as the Charmed Ones orbbed into the Mansion.

"Leo," Said Piper sitting on the couch with her sisters.
"Leo," Repeated Piper a little louder this time. Still no blue lights...
"LEO!!" Yelled Piper, making her sisters wince at her tone. Still there was no Leo in sight.
(A/N: I know Leo left to become an Elder but I luv him and its my story so hes staying! Alright...just so you dont get confused).
"Piper, honey, come on we don't need Leo everytime we encounter a demon." Phoebe told her older sister, a little afraid of what would happen if she got mad.
"I know, sorry Phoebs, Paige, but...They blew up my car!" Replied an annoyed Piper.
Phoebe and Paige exchanged glances and looked away a small smile tugging at the corner of their mouths.
"What may I ask, is so amusing about this?" Piper questioned.
"Sweety," Started Paige, "We got ambushed by higher class demons without anything besides our powers which they are immune to..."
"We could have died but they blew up your car and now your mad at them for destroying the car instead of being mad at them for trying to kill us." Finished Phoebe, whom had stopped smiling because of the glare Piper was giving them.
But Piper stopped glaring and her face softened when she saw Leo at the doorway his arms folded across his chest and his hair falling in his eyes. He looked utterly relaxed.
"Hey Baby," Leo says softly scooping Piper into his arms as they start kissing.
"So yeah like I was saying Phoebe, I'm going out with this real HOT guy but its kinda dangerous seeing as how hes a demon and all but I don't mind," Paige said trying to distract Piper from Leo, and it worked.
Piper pulled away from Leo violently and starred Paige straight in the face.
"YOUR GOING OUT WITH A DEMON?! HAVE YOU NO COMMON SENSE?!" Piper yelled showing her concern for her younger sibling.
"Piper, she's not really, she was just saying that so we can continue with the demon hunt and not the snogging session." Phoebe told a red-faced Piper.
Piper visably relaxed and she took a few big breaths to calm herself.
"Sorry, guess I got a bit carried away there..." Apoligized Piper to Paige.
"It's alright but I dont see why I can't, I mean you did, remember with that guy, and you thought you were pregnant with his child, remember? And how..." Urged Paige but stopped as she saw Leo's face harden with dislike.
"That was a long time ago Paige and Piper didn't even discover her powers yet, how was she supposed to know Jeremy was a warlock?" Leo asked. Paige just shrugged her shoulders and glanced at Phoebe whom was really quiet through the whole talk.
'Cant blame her though' Thought Paige,
'Being married was far worse than actually dating a warlock, poor Pheebs, her face scrunched up as if she's recalling a memory or as if she's having a...'
"PREMINITION" Yelled Paige, as she recieved a worried glance from Piper and Leo who were back snogging.
But then Leo understood and took a nervous glance at Phoebe just as she opened her eyes quite wide and took a large breath.
Piper and Paige suddenly came down hard on either side of Phoebe and starred at her waiting for the details.
She just shook her head and continued breathing heavily as if she had been on a wild rollercoaster. She was considerably pale and kept shaking her head as if she was disappointed in herself.
"Sorry guys *breath* but I wasn't *breath* expecting it," Said Phoebe to her sisters.
Piper and Paige just nodding understandingly.
After a few more seconds Phoebe seemed to calm down considerably and started to tell the people in the room what she saw.
Phoebe explained that she saw the demons they encountered earlier standing over a unconscious figure and chanting some spell.
"Wait a minute," said Piper, "How did she get a preminition when she wasn't even doing or touching anything?" She questioned her husband.
Leo thought for a little while and then came up with the most logical answer he could think of.
"Her powers must be expanding,"
Phoebe smiled a little but everyone knew she was upset. It was quite obvious how much she wanted an active power she could use against demons.
"It was also in color," she told her family. All they could do is smile and then there was silence until Paige broke it.
"We really should start looking for things to kill those demon-thingys with" She told everyone.
They all agreed and Paige and Phoebe headed up to the attic to search the book of shadows while Piper explained to Leo what the demons looked like.
"Well they were about the same height as you," She started and Leo nodded to continue, "They had yellow eyes which turned red while using one of their powers, they wear skulls around their waists holding on by gold beads. Their robes are shabby and cut, with boney hands and horrible shouder length hair." Piper shuddered as she remembered the details.
Leo looked thoughtful and then worried as Piper told him the description.
"They were female?" Questioned Leo.
"Well they looked more female than male I suppose, I couldn't see their feet either they just seemed to glide along. I think there were males and females and they were immune to our powers."
Leo looked like he was about to say something but was interuppted by excited yells from upstairs.
"Piper! Leo! We found them," Yelled Paige and Phoebe simultaneously.
"We're Coming!" Yelled back Piper.
"You coming?" She asked Leo, as he seemed to be in a daze.
All he could do was nod and follow her upstairs like a little puppy dog.
******
"You fools! How could you let them escape?!" Roared a thunderous voice.
They whimpered at the sound of his voice.
"I-We're sorry m-m-master they orbbed out on us," One of them spoke up.
"Yes but we destroyed their mortal device that enables them to go from place to place." Said another daring to speak.
"You idiots! I wanted them destroyed not their transportation!!" He roared rounding on the demon whom spoke up, he raised her hands and the demon blew up but before he stopped breathing he was frozen stiff and enormous pain rushed through his body.
A female demon watching this yelled out.
"No Demetris! Stop it now!" She hollered as he turned to her.
"Fine," Demetris whispered and the demons body became whole and it fell to the floor gasping for breath. Demetris rounded on the female and spoke up just enough for everyone to hear.
"You pathetic thing! I created you and you dare defy me?! Well to save one life you must get rid of another you know? Hmm...not many females left...maybe it's because they're all like you..lil bitches standing up for themselves...oh well"
And with that the female creature blew up with the swish of Demetris's hand.
Everything went silent as he spoke up again.
"Let this be another warning, you must destroy the Charmed One's but try something different don't be stupid like so many before you...you have no need to hurt them physically to destroy them...try to kill them with something they can't function without."
And with that he disappeared and the creatures huddled together devising a plan and trying to understand what Demetris had mean't. Then one of them whispered in an icy voice. "I know," And with that they formed a plan, a demise against the witches, and vanished with a 'PoP'.
*******
Leo and Piper rushed up the stairs to see what Paige and Phoebe had found.
"Look here," ushered Paige, "They call themselves the 'Death Stalkers' eww horrible looking things aren't they? Anyway, the sense when a powerful magical being is close to death and shimmer to the scene where they follow them until it dies where they trap the soul from reaching Limbo and use the body as a source of food. Gross..."
"Paige, get over it and continue please," Urged Phoebe.
"Alright, Demetris, who seems to call himself the leader, uses the magical being's soul for a new Death Stalker, he makes the bodies out of his own flesh which grows back after a few seconds."
"Umm, so we're up against a pile of Death Stalkers and a guy that grows back, just great" Piper says saracastically.
"There mores," Continues Paige,
"They were created to destroy any dark creature that might get in their way off becoming the Source..."
"Oh bonus for us," Explains Phoebe, "They kill Dark things,"
"But will seek out powerful witches and kill them, take their soul, body, blah blah blah," Paige says casting her eyes down. "And they are high class demons with many powers surging through the regrowing hands,"
Piper casts Leo a 'Help us' look.
"I'll go check with the Elders," Leo says as he orbs out.
"Guys, I think it's a good idea to get some rest," Explains Phoebe," Tomorrow we have a load of demon butt to kick."
The girls agree and are about to close the door when Leo orbs back.
"The Elders no nothing more than what you already know about the Death stalkers," Leo manages to get out.
"It's alright, come on we're going to bed," Piper tells Leo.
"I'll be there as soon as I can but I have to go, someone else needs me," He kissed her on the cheek and orbs out.
"Night everyone," Yells Paige from the hall,
"Night," Yells back Phoebe and Piper.
*******
A few black figures glide across the floor and stop next to a bed.
"Should we do it now?" Questions one of them as he holds his hand above the sleeping figure.
"No," Whispers another harshly pulling it down, "We must wait until tomorrow,"
"Then why did we come here Lucius?!"
"Because of this," Lucius replies as he hold his hand above the figure and a icy cold glow arrives from the bottom and hits the figure straight in the chest.
Just then a blue shower of lights appears in the doorway and shouts, "Piper!!"
But before anything could happen Lucius held his hand up high and Leo collapsed to the floor unconcsious.
"That was too close," Whispers one of the dark figures.
"I know lets go," He replies and turns to Piper still sleeping.
"Enjoy that dreams while it lasts for it may very well be your last." And with that the vanished with Leo in their grips.
A few seconds after, Phoebe and Paige could through the door and awake Piper.
"Piper you okay? We heard shouting." Asked Phoebe.
"Um, no I'm quite **yawn** quite fine, must have been in my sleep," Piper reassures her sisters. "Alright if you say so," Paige says still looking around her room as if something gonna pop out and her and Phoebe left the room, leaving Piper to dream.
*******
"What was that thing you hit the charmed one with Lucius?" Questioned a dark shadow.
"Ah, it was simply a repelling curse making us immune to her powers,"
"But aren't we alreay?"
"Yes but ours curses can be stopped by her freezing power, but not anymore, and tomorrow, we shall put the plan into Phase One, tomorrow THE DEATH STALKERS WILL RISE TO THE TOP!!"
He yells and a few Death Stalkers snicker as they continue to prepare for tomorrow.
Lucius prods a shattered skull at Leo.
"Hmm...what do you think about that hmm? Your little wifey going crazy because of what we'll do..." He teases an unconscious Leo.
"Well dont just stand there! Continue learning that spell!" Lucius yells at a few of the others.
"Umm...Sorry..." They reply as they continue trying to master a difficult spell.
Lucius turns around he eyes glowing red as he continues to try his luck at the power.
