Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed or X-Files. I also don't own the idea behind the virus. That comes from the X-Files movie.
Superfan: Thank you! The show is kind of straying away from what was originally set up. Hopefully next season will be better. Anyways, thanks again for the review!
Chapter 9 – New Recruit
"This sucks," Piper said. This was the third night that no one had come to her club.
"Don't worry," Dan said. "I'm sure people will come once everything calms down. Think about it. Would you want to come to a public place like this at a time like this?"
"No, I wouldn't," she admitted. "I might as well just keep the club closed until this blows over. There's no sense keeping it open when no one comes."
"Looks like some people are coming now," Dan said as he saw two people walk in.
Piper looked over her shoulder. "Family doesn't count."
"What about Jack? He's not family."
"Yeah, but he's dating Prue. He's only here 'cause Prue is."
"What's up?" Jack asked as he and Prue arrived at the table Piper and Dan were sitting at.
"No one showed up...again," Piper replied.
"Oh, well," Prue said. "It could be worse."
Piper glared at Prue as she said this. "How?"
"The club could be full of people infected with that virus."
Piper sighed. She knew Prue was right. "Well, does anyone want anything to drink?"
Everyone nodded in unison. Piper went over to the bar to grab some drinks for everyone. "Darn it," she said. "I forgot I left everything in the storeroom. The drinks stored here were used up right before the lull, and I didn't bother to bring anything else out." With that, Piper started heading towards the storeroom.
"I'll get it," Prue said when she saw Piper's annoyance.
She went to the back of the club, which was where the storeroom was. She went in and went straight to where the drinks were stored. She picked up a drink for each of them, and turned around to go back out.
There was someone standing in the doorway. He was infected with the virus...
"Here you go," Prue said as she walked over to where Piper, Jack, and Dan were sitting.
They heard a door slam.
"What was that," Piper asked.
"Oops. I think I left a crate too close to the edge," Prue lied, cringing as she said it. She knew that it was someone with the virus. He left in a hurry, and slammed the door.
In her mind, Prue didn't know why she had lied about that, but she knew that it had to be the virus taking over.
It wasn't visible to anyone that she had the virus. Due to the fact that she was a Charmed One, she was able to fight off the effects of the virus. Once she lost the initial battle, her eyes would turn black.
"Now, all we have to do is wait," the demon said to his two colleagues.
One of the Charmed Ones was now infected. Once she gave in, they would have a very powerful ally. Through Prue, they could get to Piper and Phoebe. Though, the virus was just a temporary fix. All of them would eventual win the battle against the virus; he had no doubts about that. They were strong.
However, by the time they were no longer affected by the virus, they would be vulnerable. Easy to destroy.
The three conspirators smiled wickedly. They were all thinking the same thing. Victory would be theirs. The Charmed Ones were the only ones capable of stopping them. With them out of the way, they would have no opposition. They would surely win.
A/N: Sorry for the somewhat long wait, as well as the slightly shorter chapter. I have only one reason...writer's block. This chapter probably isn't one of the better ones. This was an attempt to work through writers block. It was a difficult chapter to write.
