Chapter 10
* A recap. Jason, Shelbie, and Piper are dead. Cole has captured Phoebe. Chris, Paige, and Leo were the only ones left. Thank you for reviewing! I've had a lot of fun writing this story! *
After Paige regained conscience she had no idea what had happened. Leo was still trying to find a reason for the empty bodies.
"Are they dummies? Wait! That's it! Cole is holding the real Jason, Piper, and Shelbie somewhere magically guarded. He made it look like they were dead to distract us! But really he's doing something else with them! But what?" Leo wondered aloud.
"Sounds reasonable to me. But how do we find them?"
"Um, hello. Guys, what happened?" Paige questioned.
"You lost conscience when you saw Piper," Leo started. Paige looked over a Piper's body and shuttered. "Then Cole came in and "killed" Piper and Shelbie and then kidnapped Phoebe."
"Oh, so that's not the real Piper?"
"Yeah, but we are trying to find out where they really are," Chris explained.
Paige stood up and wobbled a little before falling back down. She was puzzled at why Cole just didn't kill them. And then it hit her.
"I got it! Cole didn't kill Piper and Shelbie because he was going to use them as bait to pressure Phoebe into being his wife!"
"Well then why didn't he just use magic and put a spell over her?" Chris asked.
"Because Cole knew that if he did, when Phoebe got out of the spell we would all come after him. Or maybe he can't tamper with free will," Paige explained.
"Ok so I'm still wondering. Jason, Piper, and Shelbie aren't really dead they are just being held hostage?" Chris inquired.
"Yes." Paige and Leo said together.
"Oh."
"So what's are plan of action?" Leo speculated.
Paige clutched her head. Apparently it started to ache. She was seeing flashes of her sisters and Shelbie, being tortured. She started to well up and her head stopped hurting. Paige was still seeing flashes. Piper was chained up against a wall slowly being punctured with needles, Shelbie was being burned with hot wax, Jason was beaten by a large demon, and Phoebe was being forced to watch it all. It pained Paige so much. She had to go and help them. She screamed in throbbing pain as the images were being flashed over and over again. She had to see past the torture and find out where they were. Paige noticed large quantities of trash lying on the floor. They must have been somewhere damp and dark. Then there was eroding stonewalls and floors and traces of sewer leakage could be seen all over the place.
"I know where they are." Paige grabbed Leo and Chris's hands and made them take her to the sewers.
The second they arrived they were blindfolded and taken to a chamber were they were tied up in chairs. Demons took off the blindfolds and Chris and Leo's mouths were taped shut.
"Terrible I had to result to tying you up but I've already done it to the rest of the family," he stepped aside to show them Jason, Phoebe, Piper, and Shelbie tied up, "And it seemed unfair to them that you weren't," Cole said.
"But I saw them. I saw them being tortured and beaten!" Paige exclaimed.
"Yes, magic is a wonderful thing. So, what are you going to do know?"
"First I'm going to use the fact that you didn't tape my mouth shut to my advantage."
"Then?"
"Then I'm going to also take advantage of the fact that my legs aren't tied up."
"Then what? You're going to kick my ass?"
"Actually, yours and all of your demon friends."
"Sounds easy but is it?"
"With a little bit of magic. Knife!" Paige called a knife and cut off the ropes around her hands. Then stood up. Leo and Chris tried to orb out of their ropes but they couldn't. Paige ran past Leo secretly slipping him the knife. She beat up a demon with two heads, Leo got free and ran over to Piper and let her loose. Cole blinked over to Phoebe, grabbed her, and again blinked out leaving the rest to deal with his band of demons.
Shelbie ran and attempted to untie Chris but a demon grabbed her and threw her against a wall. Piper was being attacked by two demons at once. Leo was cornered by a demon and orbed behind him and smashed his head with a sewage pipe killing him. Chris was still tied up. Piper blew up one of the demons, froze the other one and smashed him. Then another demon came up behind her and grabbed her. Shelbie snuck up behind him and thrust a knife in his back, he dropped Piper, and Shelbie went and untied Chris. Paige had decapitated one demon and stabbed the other one. Before they knew it all the demons were dead. They all headed back to the manor to recuperate.
