Chapter 9: They Came, They Killed, Now What?
"Them?" said Leo, becoming worried, " who's them?"
"The demons that are going to kill us". She stood up and looked nervously around, waiting for the demons to appear. She remembered the demons she had seen well. The glint in their eyes, the maniacal laughter, would not easily be forgotten They had electric blue skin, glowing crimson eyes and jagged, sharp, yellow teeth.
"It's okay Phoebe", said Leo comfortingly, " Barbas is just playing with your fears, it wasn't real."
"Yes it was", said Phoebe with certainty, " I know what a vision feels like."
"What did they look like?" asked Leo, finally believing her.
"I'll show you", Phoebe said running to the attic to get the book of shadows. When she reached the top of the stairs, she heard a scream from downstairs. She turned to see the demons from her vision materialize in her living room. Her family stared at them, all believing they were another hallucination.
"That them?" Leo whispered, standing beside Phoebe. Phoebe nodded. She saw the demon closest to the front rush towards Piper.
"Piper watch out! He's real", Phoebe called out in warning. She was too late…
Wyatt was meanwhile watching Lily, waiting for her to make her move. He saw the young witch take 5 small purple candles out of her knapsack to form a magic circle. It was now or never. He shimmered in front of her, grinning. "Not so fast witch!" he roared.
He formed a fire ball in his hand and threw it at the young woman. Or at least he tried to. The girl deflected it with her power of telekinesis . The girl attempted to throw him through the air with her power. He deflected her attack with a wave of his hand. Before Lily could do anything more, he opened his hand and called, "EXCALIBUR!" The sword instantly materialized in his hand and he lunged at the girl, missing by inches. The girl used his momentary distraction to kick him in the shin. He dropped the sword and the girl tried to make a grab for it. The sword wouldn't let her touch it. He grabbed the sword and plunged it into the girls chest. She died before she hit the ground. 'Mission accomplished', thought Wyatt as he shimmered away.
Back at the manor…The demon rushing for Piper drew his athame. He ran the gleaming blade through Piper's pregnant stomach. She died instantly. When she died, Chris died too. The demons started laughing maniacally, just as they had in Phoebe's vision.
"Now for the rest of you", the demon who appeared to be the leader said. There was a blinding flash and a tremendous explosion that caused Phoebe to go flying. When the light had faded Phoebe saw her sisters, her daughter, and her niece and nephew on the ground unmoving. Leo rushed down to heal them, but it was no use. They were dead.
Phoebe sank to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. Leo placed a comforting hand over her shoulder. She looked up at him feeling a great emptiness. "What now?", she asked through her tears. "You have to go back in time about an hour. You were meant to save them. That's why you had that vision", said Leo.
Phoebe slowly got up and recited the spell she had memorized long ago,"Hear these words, hear the rhyme, Head the hope within my mind. Send me back to where I'll find, What I wish, in place and time.A familiar blue portal formed. She stepped in…
