Chapter 24 - "Do you got a spell?"
"Where's Bane?" Phoebe asked Prue the next morning.
"Oh, he went to do the grocery shopping - bless him." Prue said with a contented smile.
"Wow, you've really worked your charms on him haven't you." Phoebe grinned back.
"Prue charmed someone? I thought she learnt from the backfired spell a while ago?" Paige
asked and wondered in.
"Um Paige, one - i'm right here and two - i didn't use magic, Phoebe was referring to Bane.
He's out getting the..."
"Milk?" Paige butted in.
"Yep." chimed Phoebe. "Ok, another question, where's Piper? i didn't see her this morning."
"I don't know. My guess is that she's pissed off and went somewhere to think." said Prue.
"Maybe, she didn't seem too pissed last night though. I know she wants to be with Leo and i hope
she does later, but something tells me that she knows we were right about Alec....who has still
yet to show." Paige was slowly getting edgier about the Warlock.
"Yeah, the thought of him keeps messing with my mind. Especially the fact that he was my
ex-friend's brother. I wish he would just show up so we could get it over with." Phoebe said.
"I know. Evil is usually so impatient that they attack first, think second. We also haven't
been attacked by any other type of evil lately..he must be holding them back somehow."
"God i hope he isn't rounding them up and making them into his minions." Phoebe said after Prue.
"That would be really bad. I don't think him being a Warlock is going to make him into this big
Evil leader though, i think we're safe from him getting a place in the demonic hier archy." Paige
said and finished her coffee.
"I think y'all should stop talking and start vanquishing." said Bane demandingly, crashing
through the door and plonking the groceries on the kitchen table.
"What do you mean? Were you attacked??" Prue asked concerningly and rushed up to his side.
"No i wasn't attacked, i'm fine. It's just when i went into town today, everyone was acting
strange like they were when he was around before. I think the sooner you get rid of him, the
better. Do you got a spell?" Bane asked.
"We were just going to use the 'power of three' spell on him." said Phoebe. "But Piper isn't here
and we'd need to find a strong enough summoning spell for him too."
"I can sense Piper, should i go get her?" asked Paige.
"Yes, i don't want her to get hurt like she did last time they met. Go." Bane ordered.
Paige orbed out.
[Time lapse]
Paige had just orbed back in with Piper. "I think we need to make a potion and maybe write another
spell, just for back up. The power of three doesn't always work."
"Yeah Piper. We have the summoning one done. I just wish we knew more about him. It would make all
this so much easier." Prue uttered.
"Mm-hmm and i'll get started on the potion, Bane do you know anything else about him that we
should know?" she asked and headed for the herb cupboard.
"No, sorry."
"Uh, were out of the basic herbs. I can't believe we didn't stock up!" Piper was peeved.
"It's okay. I got replacements when i went to the store this morning. I forgot to unpack the
bag i dropped in the living room as i came before. I'll go get it." he said, and left the room.
"Hey i got an idea, Phoebe?"
"Yeah Paige?"
"Alec was Kaleb's brother, so maybe you'd know something about them that we could use against him.
Any thoughts?"
"Um..well i didn't know Alec at all, i barely heard things about him. Let me think, i hope i can
come up with something." Phoebe went and sat down on a chair in the backyard with a note pad. It
helped her to think better if she had something to scribble on.
Prue and Paige searched the book yet again to see if they had missed anything before about
Warlocks that had power over humans, they also checked again in hope that one of their
ancestors would leave some new help pages for them to use. Piper and Bane were cooking in the
kitchen.
"Are you okay Piper?"
"I'm fine Bane. I just can't wait for this to be over, all of it."
"All of it - what do you mean by that?"
"It's nothing...no, actually it's more than that. I'm crazy in love with Leo and i can't
concentrate on anything since we were together at his place. This would be a good thing, if only
it were at some other time where we didn't have to deal with the demonic species and could just
relax and live out our lives happy and in love." Piper added some herbs to the potion that
stopped Warlocks blinking, it started to bubble.
"Oh if only a future like that existed" Bane wished.
"Who says it can't?" Piper stopped working and looked at him.
James arrived and entered the room, he had been out posting a letter to his friend. "I don't. I
believe everything will work out for the best, especially for the best woman in the world." He
hugged Piper when he said that and turned her around to start working on the potion again.
"I love how you say things without actually focusing on hard facts, that way you can never be
too wrong." Piper smiled and added another ingredient to the popping potion.
*They're so close. They seem so perfect with how the other one is. It's a wonder how they aren't
in love.* Bane was thinking over. Piper had two great relationships and was so lucky to have both
men in her life.
"Where's Bane?" Phoebe asked Prue the next morning.
"Oh, he went to do the grocery shopping - bless him." Prue said with a contented smile.
"Wow, you've really worked your charms on him haven't you." Phoebe grinned back.
