Chapter Three-
*********
:::IN LAST CHAPTER:::
Piper swung her legs over the side of her bed ready to go downstairs to make breakfast but gasped as a horrible pain passed through her body.
She put her hand to her chest and pulled it away horrified. There was blood everywhere.
She tried to get up but fell to the ground clutching her stomach as blood seeped through her fingers and landed on the floor.
Across her chest and stomach were long, deep gashes she had recieved from her nightmare.
Piper let out a quiet moan as she fell unconscious from the pain she was in as blood clotted around her head and body.
************
"Morning Paige," Phoebe grumbled, tired.
"Morning, have you seen Piper, she's usually up before us," Paige replied.
Phoebe just shrugged her shoulders, and took out a mug and started to fill it with coffe beans.
Leo orbed in the kitchen and looked around.
"Is Piper here?!" He asked loudly and nervously.
"Umm, no we haven't seen her since last night, why?" said Paige.
Phoebe looked around as if she was expecting Piper to appear any minute.
"I was with the Elders, the s'morning getting a different charge, and I sensed something was wrong,"
"Somethings wrong?! What is it?" Questioned Phoebe, looking quite pale.
"I'm not sure but I came here as soon as I could, where is she? Did she go out? I can't sense her properly," Leo replied to Phoebe.
The three of them looked at each other and rushed off upstairs to see if Piper was still there.
*********
Demetris looked at his creations, smiling as best he could.
"Well done, I give my congrats to you all, especially Lucius." Demetris spoke.
"I thank-you for your compliments but you did a huge part also." Lucius bowed.
"I know, I was the one with the original idea, you all just put my words to sense and did something to finally get rid of the Charmed Ones."
"With all do respect sir," came a voice of another Death Stalker, "We have only done something with one of the Charmed Ones. Only the eldest is cursed."
"Yes, but she is the strongest and smartest. With her out of the way it wil be easier to destroy the rest of them. And besides they will have no power of three anymore."
"Excellent plan my lord," snarled one of the Death Stalkers.
The rest nodded simultaniously, agreeing completely.
"Well, it will all pay off soon," continued Demetris.
"Soon, I will become Source and you all shall be my faithful servants.
No-body said anything, they all followed in a line out to feed on some unexpecting person..
*********
Phoebe, Paige and Leo rushed upstairs to find Piper hardly breathing and unconscious from the loss of blood.
Leo dropped to her side and held his hands over her wounds as his hands glowed yellow.
Nothing happen, the blood continued pouring out of the wound, while Phoebe and Paige desperately tried to cover it up.
"Whats happening Leo?" Asked Paige horror-strucken holding a piece of cloth against Piper's chest.
"She won't heal. I don't know whats hap..." Leo stopped as Piper stomach's cut vanished slowly and she began breathing at a normal pace.
She opened her eyes slowly and looked around.
Everyone was sitting there deathly pale and shaking as Phoebe and Paige held bloody cloths.
Piper looked around and held a hand to her head as she got up.
"What happened?" She asked confused.
Phoebe and Paige gave her a hug and cried
"We thought you were going to die,"
"How did those wounds get there Piper?" Asked Leo looking very concerned.
Piper retold the events of last night and how she awoke with the scratches.
"Wait a minute, what did you say attacked you?" Phoebe said looking at Piper with curiosity in her eyes. "A creature, with hooves, sharp claws, female, with a long cloak that seemed to fly. She was after a scared little girl but I pushed her away, and her claws got me," Piper explained.
"What I think it was, was a Shego Vampire." Phoebe told, recieving a thoughtful look from everyone.
"I think Phoebe's right," started Piper, "But weren't they destroyed by Demetris a little while after he was banished?"
"Maybe Demetris revived them. Or Demetris's servent Damien could have...what do you think Leo?" Paige asked her whitelighter.
(A/N: For a description and picture of Damien please see bottom of page).
"I don't see why this has anything to do with Shego Vampires, I mean I could've been attacked during the night by a demon or something and awoke with the wounds." Piper explained trying to sound logical.
It seemed to work as Paige and Phoebe, looked at her and then nodded slowly.
"That's probably what it was, well we'll have to be more careful now won't we..." says Paige, putting her hands on her hips.
Everybody nodded and Leo turned to Piper.
"I don't know what I would do if I lost you baby," He says while kissing her on her head.
"Same here, but with you," she replies as they head downstairs.
"Lets pretend that never happened and we ALL will be more careful, doing anything...everyone understand?" Piper asks as she sits down at the breakfast table.
Everyone nodded as a demon appeared in the shadows watching the witches every move as his eyes fell on Piper. He cursed softly to himself and shimmered out.
*******
"Demetris, we have trouble...the Charmed One survived the attack."
Demetris stopped torturing the man he planned on killing and rounded on the demon.
"How could this happen Damien?!? How did she survive?!?" He roared.
Damien did not wince nor even move.
"Do not blame me sir. I am just the messenger. Maybe one of your Death Stalkers mucked up once again." He retorted.
"Hmm...maybe...LUCIUS!! Come here now!!" Demetris yelled sending a slight shiver up Damien's back.
Lucius glided in the room and eyed Demnon jealousy. It had taken him all his skill just to please Demetris and now some Demon appeared and he was getting yelled at.
"Yes, my lord, what do I owe the pleasure of your time," Asks Lucius bowing down.
"Save it! What went wrong with the Proamunte Curse, it didn't work!" Demetris yells.
"Nothing went wrong sir, everything went arrcording to plan," He replies.
"If everything went right, then WHY IS SHE ALIVE?!" Demetris screams.
Lucius shakes his head slowly, disbelieving every word.
"She HAS to be dead. I was there when she awoke, I saw her wounds, I shimmered out after she fainted, how could she still be alive?"
"Do you dare defy me?! I dont know how she could be alive!! Your the one whose supposed to have the answers!"
"I shall try and find out what I can," Lucius bows once again and shimmers out.
********
Piper chewed on a plain biscuit in the kitchen, while Phoebe and Paige were in the lounge talking and Leo was with the Elders.
Nor Phoebe or Paige realised a Death Stalker hovering in the shadows.
"I'm glad she's okay, but I can't help but think what would have happened if Leo couldn't heal her," Paige tells Phoebe.
"I wish he could be around more, instead of always being with the Elders..."
Phoebe just nods and looks downward.
"Phoebe? Whats wrong?" Questions a concerned Paige.
"Piper's alright and thats all that matters doesn't it?"
Phoebe looked from the floor to Paige and then back to the floor.
"I dont think someone attacked her while she was sleeping," whispers Phoebe.
"Why do you say that?"
Phoebe just waves her hand and says, "Never mind, just mumbling to myself,"
Paige stays silent and pulls out the Book of Shadows she brought down after the morning's incident. Phoebe starrs at her.
"What do you have that for Paige?"
"I'm bored," she replies shrugging her shoulders.
"If your bored, why dont we go shopping?" Asks Phoebe, wanting to shop.
"Umm...yeah why not? I'll go get ready."
As Paige rushes upstairs getting dressed Phoebe walks into the kitchen and takes a seat next to Piper.
"Hey," she starts, "Paige and I are going to the shops for while, want to come?" Phoebe asks.
"Nah, I'll stay here until Leo comes back.
"You sure? It'll be fun."
"I'm sure you two go and have fun. Oh could you get some bat wings, livers and herbs."
"Sure...why do we need that though?" Phoebe questions.
"Because we're out of those ingredients, what if we want to make a potion that involve those things?" Piper asks back.
Phoebe smiles and nods as Paige comes rushing down the stairs, dresses in long black slacks and a red halter-neck.
Phoebe looked down at what she was wearing. Denim jeans with white tiger strips and a pink off-the-shoulder top.
"Come on Phoebe! Lets go...you coming Piper?" Asked Paige sounding like a little child in a candy store.
Piper shook her head and smiled as Paige grabbed Phoebe's hand and led her out the door.
*********
"Demetris, I spied on the Charmed Ones and found that the whitelighter I was impersonating healed the witch," snarled Lucius to his master.
"Bah! Blasted whitelighter! He get in the way to often,"
"Do you want me to dispose of him master?" Lucius questions.
"No, let him be, maybe he'll dispose of himself after his family is gotten rid of."
Lucius smirked and nodded, taking his place in line of Death Stalkers.
*********
Phoebe and Paige shopped around for an hour before they started to get tired.
"We got everything dont we?" Paige asks Phoebe.
Phoebe looked off into space not even listening to Paige.
"Is something wrong? You seem a bit distant lately," Paige continues.
Phoebe looks at her as if seeing her for the first time.
"I got it!" Phoebe cries grabbing Paiges hand with her right one.
"Orb us home," She demands. "But orb me into the attic,"
Paige nods a bit confused and orbs out with Phoebe.
**********
Paige and Phoebe orbbed into the attic as Phoebe rushed over to where the Book of Shadows lay.
She skipped through a few pages until she found what she was looking for and skimmed over it gasping as she does so.
"I knew it, it was just to easy..." Phoebe mumbles to herself.
"What is it?" Asks Paige walking over to her sister with curiosity.
"Look, read this," says Phoebe shoving the book in front of Paige.
As Paige reads it she gasps and turns sharply to face Phoebe.
"You don't think that..." She trailes off.
"Thats exactly what I think and if I'm right Piper is in serious danger,"
They rush down the stairs to meet up with Piper.
"Oh, your back did you get the ingreidents?" Piper asks starring at them
"Huh? Oh yeah it's in the attic but for now we have more important issues to attend to," Paige remarks.
Piper gives Paige a puzzled look as Phoebe starts.
"Piper, I know this may be hard for you, but I think your being attacked in your dreams,"
"What? What's that supposed to mean?" She replies rounding on Phoebe.
"I think it means that the next time you go to sleep...you may not wake up."
Piper just stands there gapping at Phoebe as realisation hit.
"I-I cant not go to sleep! What...I...what am I going to do?" She cries.
Phoebe just shakes her head. "I don't know. I honestly don't." She retorts hugging Piper.
"All we know for sure is that if you go to sleep, you may die.." Finishes Paige, looking at Piper
whom had become quite pale and shaken.
"Well I'll go make some coffee...its gonna be a lonnng night," Phoebe states heading into the kitchen to make some coffee.
