Bide the Wiccan Law Ye Must

Chapter Three

"Darryl, no offense, but what the hell are you on? If you don't let us go back home I know four people who are going to be in some serious demon related trouble. I know you're not covering for us anymore, but I trust you can grasp how important the situation is." Paige explained. However, Darryl continued to drive, and soon, they arrived at the police station.

Darryl locked all six girls in one cell on one of the empty hallways. "Darryl!" yelled Phoebe as he was walking away. "What are we being charged with?"

"Murder!" he smirked.

Paige frowned. "I know Darryl, and Darryl wouldn't do this..."

Phoebe laughed. "Well, technically, we've done it to him before, have we not?"

"Yes, but that was so not our fault!" Paige groaned. "And I still have a hard time believing that he would take all of us to prison after we explained about the girls. He knows we wouldn't joke about something like that!"

Sara cleared her throat in an unnecessarily loud manner. Everyone looked at her. "My theory?" she smiled. "This Darryl guy you guys are talking about probably isn't himself, if you know what I mean..."

"There is one way we could find out," Melanie grinned. "Hey, err...Darryl! Come here dude! We're ready to confess!" she yelled. She lowered her voice. "Now, when he gets here, Sara, throw an energy ball at him. If I'm right, that should get rid of one Illusion Demon and knock one investigator into a wall."

Paige nodded. "Good of him, you know...to put us on a hall with no one else on it. We won't have to worry about exposing anything. Darryl!" Paige screamed.

Instead of Darryl turning around, Leo and Chris orbed in. "What on Earth are you guys doing in there? The demons have started to regroup! You need to get out of there! Just orb or something!" Leo commanded.

Paige nodded and did as he asked. The six of them ended up back at Halliwell Manor. The place was wrecked. Several windows were broken, furniture was thrown about, and the Book of Shadows had somehow ended up under a table in the living room.

"What happened here?" asked Phoebe out loud.

"Someone was after the Book, I guess..." whispered Paige, picking it up.

Anna screamed. "Duck! It's a dark lighter! Paige!" she yelled.

Paige wheeled around, but she was too late. An arrow hit her squarely in her stomach. She fell back and landed on the stairs.

"Sara!" screamed Melanie, and Sara threw an energy ball. The dark lighter was no more.

"Oh, god, sweetie..." Phoebe whispered to Paige. "Leo! Chris! Please! Quick! LEO! Damn it, someone get down here!" she demanded. She was holding on to Paige's hand. "Hold on, Paige. I'm going to pull it out, all right?" Phoebe broke off the end of the arrow. Paige screamed as she pulled it through. "Leo! Get your angel ass down here now!" Phoebe screamed.

Leo finally showed up. "What's the rush? What's wrong?" he asked. "I was visiting with Wyatt and..." but he had looked down. "Oh, no..." He bent down and began to heal her. "Did you kill the Illusion Demon?" he asked.

"What?" Phoebe took a step back. "Leo...it was a dark lighter. Can't you tell?" It was then that she noticed that Paige was not healed, as she should have been. "Oh, no." she whispered. "Sara...this isn't Leo!" she yelled. Another energy ball whizzed by Phoebe's head, and the fake Leo exploded.

"Leo!!!" screamed Phoebe again.

He immediately appeared. "What's wrong? I couldn't orb in here..."

"This is wrong, Leo!" growled Phoebe. She gestured to Paige. "Plus, Darryl isn't Darryl, and an Illusion Demon just tried to impersonate you! Hurry up! She'll die, Leo! Do you not understand that or something?"

Leo bent down and began to heal Paige. Several minutes later, Paige finally stood up. Leo sighed. "Definitely too close a call for my tastes, girls." He nodded. "Let me say this...don't trust anyone, as odd as that sounds. Phoebe, search the Book for a way we can locate the Illusion demons...and someone should fix this mess...we don't want Piper coming down here and having a stroke. She thinks you guys are doing fine down here. It looks like a tornado has gone through the house,"

"We know that," smiled Paige. "But hasn't that technically happened already?"

Leo glared at her. Paige cracked. "All right! I'll do it!" she whined. "Let the object of objection become but a dream as I cause the seen to be unseen," she whispered, and the living room and various other areas of the house returned to normal.

Leo frowned, but nodded. "Just...keep searching the Book, and remember, if it seems out of the ordinary, it probably isn't real," he advised them.

"Leo, everything is out of the ordinary at this house!" smirked Phoebe.

"You know what I mean." He nodded. "I'll go find the real Darryl and try to see what's going on. If you guys need anything, call for Chris, and he should be able to take care of it,"

"Does that mean that you two are talking now?" asked Paige.

Leo shook his head. "Not really, but we're getting there. Just be careful, all right?" And with that, Leo orbed from the room.

"Paige, the Book doesn't say anything about how to actually get rid of them since we technically already have...so does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to deal with these things anymore. I'm starting to get a little worried."

Anna smiled. "Well, if the Book doesn't help, we'll have to come up with our own little solution, won't we?" she suggested. "Just lead me to your potion ingredients and stand back, girls. We'll get rid of these things in no time..."

"Quite the confident one, huh?" Paige smiled.

"Yes, glad that you noticed..." she smirked.

Phoebe and Paige led Anna to the kitchen, where all the potion ingredients were already sitting out because of Paige's frequent use of them. Anna turned around. "I'll need some paper and a pen too, if you have it?" she requested.

"For what?" asked Paige. "Oh...the spell. Sorry. Forgot about that part..."

Anna laughed. "It's perfectly all right..."

The four girls laughed as they worked in the Charmed Ones kitchen. The topic of discussion swayed from Illusion demons quite quickly as they mixed, crushed, and boiled the various different ingredients that Anna gave to them.

Meanwhile, Phoebe was still reading up on how to get her powers back. She had been good...her and Paige were helping the innocents...nobody had died yet...and those pesky cleaners hadn't shown up since they had been taken to the Tribunal. That was where Phoebe had lost her powers. It had seemed like an eternity ago, but she didn't mind. She liked the freedom...but she also worried about Paige and how she was supposed to help her sisters without her powers. As she watched the four girls work, she actually missed being a more active member of the group.

"I'll get them back soon enough," she whispered to herself. Suddenly, she had to blink several times. While she was watching the others in the kitchen, she thought she had heard a scream. There was a bloody athame in Sara's hands. "Paige!" she screamed.

"What? We're almost done," Paige came into the room to laugh at her sister. "What's wrong?" she looked at Phoebe, realizing something must have really frightened her.

"I just...I think I just had a vision, Paige!" Phoebe gasped.

Paige shrugged. "Phoebe, don't get so excited. That's a good thing!" Paige clapped. "That's a lot sooner than we had hoped!"

"No, Paige...I don't think it's much of a good thing," whispered Phoebe.

"What do you mean?" she asked.
