Chapter 5.………….
San Francisco, CA……….. 1/3/03.……….. Halliwell Manor……..
Piper is moving from room to room, doing a little house work here, doing some there. She stopped when she arrived in the attic. She then slowly walked over to the Book of Shadows and shut it. She picked it up and went over to the wall. She then slid the secret compartment open and placed the book inside. She then shut the compartment once more. She was glad that Grams had only shown her and Prue the hidden places around the house.
Shortly Piper made her way back down stairs, to find Paige in the kitchen making potions. Piper looked at her sister and asked, "What are you doing?"
Paige looked up from her notes and said, "I'm making potions in case things get out of hand at the meeting in a couple of days."
Piper nodded and then said, "Make sure you hide them well, so they can't find them. And I have went ahead and hid the Book of Shadows."
Paige nodded and went back to what she was doing.
Phoebe's office……..
Phoebe was sitting in her office going over her latest article, when she happened to over hear a couple of her co-worker's conversation as they walked by.
Male, "Did you hear, some people are saying that it was a mutant that blotted out the sun."
Female, "No, you got it wrong, it was some kind of demon, like they were telling everyone about on the news the other day."
Phoebe leaned back in her chair and shook her head. From what Cole had said, a very old demon had caused the world wide blackout of the sun. But yet they, (the Charmed Ones), could do nothing about it.
Cole's Apartment………….. 1/4/03.……..
Cole was sitting in his apartment, going over some research material that some of his demon contacts had brought him. The stuff that he was reading was jumbled and was hard to understand. Some of it was in other languages. And since he was no longer the source, (Thinks to that interfering Matt.), his language skills weren't that good right not.
Cole's musing was interrupted when a demon appeared in a cleared space in the apartment. Cole looked at the demon and asked curtly, "What do the want?"
The demon bowed and answered. "Cole, the underground has just heard a very dark thing."
Cole sat up straighter and asked, "What was the very dark thing they heard?"
The demon then said, "The underground just heard that the being that was Death is now been destroyed, by the Dark One."
Cole said, "Okay. Now leave."
The demon then disappeared leaving Cole alone. Cole then placed his head in his hands and muttered to him self, "Things are seriously going bad."
TBC………….. Coming up next…..The Meeting between the Underground and the Charmed Ones……….
