*Waiting*

Paige stood beside Piper, flipping through the book of shadows. 'How's it going Melinda, Grace?' Paige asked.

The two looked up from where they were trying to call Prue and Phoebe from Cole's mobile phone. 'It's going fine! Daddy's phone is fun!' Grace answered gleefully, as Melinda pressed five buttons at once. Cole winced.

'It's like the demon limbo. Obmil - limbo spelt backwards. In Obmil they can do magic though, they can gain access to Earth, to the Astral Plane. they can still do all their dirty work. Its for demons too good to send to Demon Wasteland.'

'I see. Well.' Piper turned another page; silently wishing Leo wasn't checking with the elders so she and Paige wouldn't be stuck with Cole, as Melinda and Grace managed to successfully dial Phoebe's number.

'It's ringing!' Melinda whispered excitedly.

'Maybe I should ring-' Cole began.

'No.' Melinda interrupted stubbornly. 'Hello? Auntie Phoebe? It's me Melinda and Grace. Mommy wants you to come home. Right now.'

Cole sighed.

'Aunt Paige can't orb you. She's hurt.' Grace explained to Phoebe. 'Okay. Bye-bye!'

'I can always get Phoebe.' Cole objected.

'No.' Paige said bluntly. She nodded at Cole. 'Does he really need to be here? He's informed us about the demons, he's not needed. And we can always use our own phones. I don't trust you.' Paige added honestly.

Cole muttered something, and looked away. His gaze, of course, immediately returned to Melinda and Grace, who were trying to call Prue. Cole cringed.

'Mellie, Gracie how about you let me-'

'No.' Melinda interrupted again. 'Shoosh Ex-Unkie Cole!'

'Mellie, remember what I said before about not saying rude things?' Piper asked, not looking up.

'Uh huh.' Melinda nodded as Grace accessed Snake in Cole's phone and began to play, loosing concentration on the task at hand. 'You said that I shouldn't tell to Miss Carol that she has something on her teeth. And that I shouldn't say to Miss Noelle that she has hairy armpits or Miss Belinda that her ankles are fat.' Melinda answered promptly. Cole stared.

'Well that applies to Ex-Un. I mean, that applies to your Uncle Cole too.' Piper said. She turned another page. 'Come on Grams, help me here!'

The pages of the book began to flip crazily. Piper and Paige stepped back.

'But mommy he's not my Uncle anymore.' Melinda objected. There was a strange grinding noise that sounded as if it were coming from Cole's teeth.

'Who told you that?' Piper asked, casting Cole an odd glance.

'Aunt Phoebe did. I remember hearing her talking to Aunt Paige.' Melinda replied. Paige hid a grin.

'I see. Well you still call him Uncle Cole, okay?' Piper gave Melinda a long 'not-another-word-or-I'll-lengthen-your-grounding' look. Melinda quickly returned to helping Grace call Prue.

'Auntie Prue? It's Gracie. Auntie Piper wants you to come home right now. It's a demon emergency.' Grace said when Prue picked up. 'Okay. Bye.'

Grace hung up. 'Auntie Prue is on her way.'

'Where is Prue anyway?' Paige mused.

'She's shopping for the groceries.' Piper said guiltily. Prue should be off her feet, and Piper usually brought the groceries.

Minutes later Prue orbed in, holding brown paper bags. She set them on the floor. Outside a car screeched and soon Phoebe arrived.

'Cole. Why are you here?' Phoebe asked as soon as she saw Cole.

'I dropped Grace off and informed Piper of the problem at hand.' Cole said gruffly.

'Well okay, your job is done. Could you leave? You can make up your time with Grace later.'

'Wait!' Grace exclaimed. 'Daddy, I want my dollhouse.'

'You can get it another day. I have work.' Cole said abruptly. 'Bye sweetheart.' He shimmered out, missing the look on Grace's face.

'Mo-o-o-m,' Grace wailed. 'I want my dollhouse! Why won't daddy give it to me?'

'Because daddy wants an excuse for you to go to the penthouse more often, and if it means bribing you with playing with the house than he'll do it.' Phoebe muttered.

'Mm.' Paige and Prue both nodded. 'I see where you're coming from.' They said, as Wyatt came upstairs.

'Okay, here we go.' Piper announced. 'Orrin and Krenkin are demons who currently reside in Obmil. They spy on witches through water portals or mirrors in Obmil, and witches often see their reflections, and are able to kidnap weaker witches through these portals. It is possible for them to shimmer into the mortal plane, however it is done very seldom as it drains a great deal of their energy, as does kidnapping even younger witches. Avoid mirrors and water portals at all costs - try to cover them with something. Also, it is harder for them to spy on witches through the water portals or mirrors if it's darker.'

'Explains a lot. I mean it must've been one of these guys I saw in the mirror.'

'And in the bathwater.' Piper agreed.

Phoebe and Prue both looked thoughtful as Wyatt blurted out, 'I saw him at baseball.'

'What?' Piper squawked.

'I saw some demon at baseball practice, but I got distracted when I hit a homerun.'

Piper glanced at Phoebe, Prue and Paige. 'What do we do now?'

'Well the way I see it, we only have one choice and that's to face them.' Prue answered. Phoebe and Piper nodded, but Paige burst their bubble.

'Uh guys? Do you really think it's wise for us to go after them in their own world? Shouldn't we bring them to ours instead? Where we're more comfortable with our surroundings, where we know our way around?'

'I guess we could do that.' Piper agreed reluctantly. 'A summoning spell?'

'Yeah but before we do it let's form a plan. Okay so we summon them, they fire an energy ball or throw a knife or whatever.' Prue said.

'Then we do the usual.' Paige finished. 'Okay. Piper, what are the potion ingredients?'

Piper read them out loud.

'We're out of ginger; I'll go to the store and buy some. Keep away from mirrors and stuff - let's put some sheets over the mirrors.'

'How do we make a potion if they can see us through a liquid portal?' Piper asked.

'Water. It has to be clear.' Phoebe answered.

'Okay. Mellie, Wyatt, Grace you come with me, it's not safe for you here. Is there anything we can take for protection? There's plenty of mirrors and reflections in all the stores.'

Glen appeared at the attic doorway. 'Hi all. I'm home. What's happening?' Paige filled him in quickly.

'Um.' Prue scanned the page. 'A rough, unpolished crystal pendant can be worn around the neck of those witches more vulnerable, because there is no type of reflection in it usually, but it is still clear.'

'We should have some. Remember when I went to those rock-mining caves? I got some crystal pendants that were cut into shape but not yet polished. I think they're still in my suitcase - I forgot to take them out of the pocket.' Glen volunteered. 'I'm going to go find them.'

Prue and Piper nodded. 'Okay guys we have a lot to do. Mellie, Grace, go help Uncle Glen. Wyatt, you come with me and we'll put sheets on the mirrors.' Piper said. She glanced outside. 'It's getting dark, that's good.'

Melinda let out a whimper and clung to Piper. 'I want to go with you.'

Just then Leo and Andy orbed in. 'What'd we miss?' Prue briefly informed them.

'Okay new plan.' Prue announced. 'Mellie, you go with Leo and Andy up to the nursery. There are no windows. Draw the curtains, okay?'

'Serena's up there too. Try not to make too much noise.' Paige added. 'If anything happens, just grab her and she'll put up her shield.'

'Paige, you can gather the ingredients for the vanquishing potion.' Prue continued, taking charge completely. 'Piper, as soon as Glen comes back-'

'Got them!' Glen held up seven crystal pendants as he reappeared in the attic doorway. 'Only seven here though.'

'Okay.'

Glen handed a pendant to Melinda. Leo and Andy took then Melinda downstairs, much to her protests of 'I want to help!' Glen gave them to Grace and Wyatt too, and both of them put them on.

'Who else wants one?' Glen asked.

'We'll take one each.' Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige took one each and hung them round their necks.

'Okay I'm going to go now. Mellie's not coming obviously, but Wyatt and Grace, you guys can come.' Piper said, beckoning the two over to her. They left immediately.

'What else.' Prue muttered.

'No more else Prue. Now we wait for Piper, we wait for the potion. We wait.'
