Chapter 7.……..The Meeting Part 2.……….
San Francisco, CA……… Halliwell Manor……… 1/5/03.……. Hour later
Piper, Phoebe, and Paige are sitting in the dining room waiting for Cole and the other demons to show up for their meeting. Piper is still worried about where Leo had gone off to.
The Charmed Ones were ready in case any of the demons tried anything.
The three sisters were startled out of their thoughts when, Cole and Ten Demons shimmered into the room. Cole stood in front of the demons and was looking at the sisters. He then said, "Piper, Phoebe, Paige, behind me are the remaining ten heads of the demon clans in the Underworld. We are here like we had discussed to deal with the Dark Demons. As of right now we have a truce going on. So lets sit and get this meeting started."
Piper nodded and indicated for them to sit.
Meanwhile……… Other side of town………..
A girl is running down an ally, being chased by a very ugly demon. She suddenly came to a dead end in the Ally. She turned and tried to find a hiding place, but she was out of time. The demon reached her and it then grabbed her, it then started to bite through her neck.
With her last breath she started to pray. As the light was fading in her eyes, She saw a figure, wearing a black robe, walk up to her. The demon had no clue that one of the Hands of Death was there to take the girls soul and send it on its way.
Leo reached out and took the girls, noncorporal hand and turned and walked toward the light.
Moments later………. Outside of the Manor……….
Leo orbed to the porch and made sure that his new black robe was gone before entering the house.
Leo walked into the house and made his way towards the dining room, where he could hear voices.
Dining Room………
The Charmed Ones sat and listened to Cole and the other Fellion demons, explain about the differences between themselves and the Dark demons.
After a couple of minutes Cole stood and said, "The presence of the Dark Demons here in this city is a very bad thing for both the Fellion Demons and Humans that live in this city. So I propose a truce that would last until we rid ourselves of them."
Piper looked at her two sisters, and after they both nodded she also stood, and she said, "We agree. I say that during this time, during this truce that as long as the Demons of the Underworld behaves it selves, we won't hunt them."
Cole nodded and looked at the other demons, who all agreed to the terms. He then waved his hand a large sheet of paper appeared on the table. He indicated for the demons to sign first. After the ten demons did, Cole took the pen and signed his own name to the paper. He then passed the pen and the sheet over to the sisters.
Piper took the paper as Leo came up behind her and looked over her shoulder and read the sheet. It basically said, everything they had agreed to. Piper then took the pen and signed the sheet, followed by both Paige and Phoebe.
A minute after signing the paper Phoebe slightly stumbled away from the table and she received a premonition.
Piper, Leo, and Paige, held her until she could see normal again. She then said, "I saw two teens, both female, running down the street, being chased by several figures in brown robes. The robed figure were carrying knives, and they had no eyes."
Piper looked at her sister and asked, "Where was this?"
Phoebe turned as they all heard a scream and she said, "Outside." They all ran to get outside and help the two girls.
Cole turned and had the other demons leave and he himself ran outside, to help the sisters.
Outside………
Piper ran out on the lawn and saw two teenage girls running from the eyeless robed things. As they got near Piper made a couple of the Bringers explode, before the third threw its knife at her. Paige reached Piper and held her hand out and said, "Knife."
She then threw the knife back at the Bringer, hitting him in the chest. Cole came up and threw three energy balls at the remaining Bringers and vanquished them.
Leo then ran over to the two tired girls and started healing them. After that they both fell asleep. He had Paige orb one girl while he orbed the other in side.
Back inside…………..
Piper looked from the two girls to Cole and, said, "Thanks. But now go. We can take care of this."
Cole nodded and shimmered out of there. Piper turned to her husband and asked, "How long until they wake up?"
Lei shrugged and said, "I don't know."
