A/N: I bet you're all like, "I know where this is going....But wait, there are four sisters and only three major senses that can be taken away...." Don't worry, I have already figured something out for the last sister. ;)

Family Affair
Chapter 12: Speak No Evil

Since Paige didn't have a job, she volunteered to stay home with Pearl and Phiona. Her hair was pulled back into a tight pony tale. Her face was covered in flour, as were her clothes, daughter, and niece. "Well, aren't we the messy ones." She teased. She clapped her hands together, making a cloud of white powder.

Phiona laughed. "Flour is fun, Auntie Paige!" Phiona said. She waved her hand; orbs shot from her palms and hit the cloud of flour in the air, shooting it around the kitchen.

Pearl burst into giggles. She opened her hand and a glowing white ball of light appeared. She hurled the light ball at a package of flour that was sitting on the table, on impact, the package exploded; sending flour everywhere.

Pearl and Phiona began to laugh hysterically.

Paige rolled her eyes. "Now girls! No more flour throwing!" Paige called. She looked around the room; almost everything was covered in white powder. "All dirty flour!" Paige yelled. The room filled with glowing blue and white orbs, then they vanished, leaving a flour free kitchen and people that were inside of it, then the garbage can filled with orbs. When they were gone, the garbage can was filled with nearly 3 bags of flour. Paige looked at the girls. "Let's not tell Piper about this, okay?" Paige asked.

Pearl and Phiona nodded, then put their fingers to their lips.

"Mum's the word." Pearl said, repeating what she'd heard her Uncle Cole say many times to her and Phiona, when it was only the 3 of them.

"Mom's da word!" Phiona said, trying to repeat her cousin, unsuccessfully.

Paige raised an eyebrow. "Where'd you hear that?" She asked, as she scanned the girls' faces for clues.

Pearl shrugged. "I dunno." She said, with an innocent grin.

"Sure...." Paige said. She looked around and spotted the cake they had made. It still needed to be put in the over. "Oven door." Paige called. The oven door orbed out and then minutes later, orbed back in, open. "Cake." Paige said. The cake orbed off the table and then orbed in, in the oven. "Oven door." Paige said. The oven door orbed out again, when it orbed in, it was shut. Paige spotted the white timer on the counter. "Timer, thirty minutes." Paige said. The timer orbed out and then orbed in, set at 30 minutes, on the counter next to the oven. Paige grinned. "A job well done, girls!" Paige said, then clapped her hands in praise. She then felt a warm gust hit her. She winced slightly and then her throat began to hurt. She rubbed her throat and then saw a demon shimmer in behind Pearl. She opened her mouth to yell but nothing came out. 'Oh no!' Paige thought. She tried to yell again, but nothing. She stomped her foot and pointed to the demon.

Phiona looked confused. "Say soting, Auntie Paige." She said, as she stared at her aunt.

Paige looked around and grabbed a knife from the counter behind her, then hurled it at the demon.

The demon waved his hand and telekinetically sent it flying at Pearl.

Phiona watched the knife and turned around to see it reverse and fly at her cousin. She quickly held up her hand. Orbs shot from her palms and surrounded the knife, sending reversing it again, and sending it into the demon; vanquishing him.

Pearl's eyes got wide. "Thanks Phiona..." She muttered. "Mommy? What's wrong, why aren't you saying anything?" She asked.

Paige pointed to her throat and shook her head.

"Auntie Paige?" Phiona asked.

"I don't think mommy can talk..." Pearl whispered. TO BE CONTINUED....
