Part 2
"A heartless!" Phoebe said, reading from the page in the Book of Shadows, "A demon that kills good witches by stopping their hearts and feeds off of the goodness in them...Ughh!! It says here that they weaken the witch first and then plunge their hand into the chest cavity to squeeze the heart and stop it completely." She read, pulling a disgusted face.
Piper unconsciously rubbed her chest, "Is there a vanquish?"
Chris frowned and started pacing around the attic, "I don't understand, heartlesses usually only attack at night and when a witch is alone!"
"So, maybe this heartless wants to impress someone...oh for crying out loud, will you stop pacing! You're making me dizzy!" Piper snapped at Chris, who glared at her but stopped pacing.
"Umm...odd very odd!" Phoebe muttered.
"What?" Chris asked, moving to look at the page.
Phoebe looked up and smiled a weak grin, "Umm...well it says that as they are low level, particle manipulation should work...so in other words..."
"Piper should've been able to blow him up!" Chris finished for her.
"But I tried...he didn't even flinch!" Piper said, "Are you sure you're reading the right page?"
Phoebe glared at Piper, "how many years have I been reading this book?" Piper shrugged, "Hey, maybe that ruby was a protection stone or something!" Phoebe continued, grinning at the thought of the gemstone.
"Would you forget about the damn ruby already!" Piper snapped, hitting her sister on the arm, "What does this mean?"
"He wasn't a heartless?" Phoebe asked, hesitantly.

Paige was just finishing up at her new temp job; working as a waitress at a new restaurant. She had just changed out of her work clothes and was heading out the door.
"See you tomorrow Paige!" Louise, one of Paige's new work mates said.
"Yeah see ya Lou!" Paige replied cheerfully, but as soon as she stepped outside her mood changed from happy to frustrated.
"It's ok, just stick with it...I'm sure the 'magical' problem will pop up anytime now!" she muttered to herself through gritted teeth.
Paige was just unlocking her car when someone coughed from behind her.
Paige jumped in fright and turned around to face a tall man, dressed entirely in black. He had dark greying hair and very dark eyes.
"All alone without your sister witches? Very tempting!" the man said, and an energy ball immediately appeared in his palm.
"And they call you the Charmed Ones...you may be all powerful together but on your own...!" he sneered and threw the energy ball at Paige.
"Energy ball!" Paige cried, holding her hand out and redirecting the energy ball back at the demon.
The demon managed a look of shock before shimmering out just as the energy ball reached him.

Garentax materialised in an alleyway behind a middle-aged woman.
"Time to die witch!" he said conjuring another energy ball.
The woman turned around and smiled confidently at Garentax. "You do not have the powers to destroy me...I know!" she said, her eyes glowing white for a few seconds.
Garentax extinguished the energy ball and smiled at her, "Ah! That is because your power is 'Scan'...the ability to identify an individual's powers!" he said, holding his hand out palm facing the witch.
"Most useful...I can use that to my advantage!" As he said this, a blue light enveloped the witch and she disappeared, only for there to be a blue sapphire in her place.
Garentax laughed and replaced the emerald around his neck with the sapphire.
"Now I can find someone with powers to help me defeat the Charmed Ones!" he said, shimmering out mid-laugh...
