Paige ran for the kitchen, she saw two of her sisters lying on the floor and saw Jean? Why was Jean even here? He was a Descendor, in many ways a white lighter, called up to the heavens, to a train station like place where ladders that transcended into the clouds all stood in rows, able to climb down and appear before an innocent, where he and the ladder were completely unable to be seen by mortals. That was the least of her worries, a strong force grabbed her and flung her over as she crashed over the counter, smacked her head on the sink and fell back into a slump, crying in agony.
Piper arose and grabbed a small bucket of toys, she counted to 3 and rolled it over where the demon was distracted, she ran to Paige grabbed her arm and Paige lifted herself up; grabbing Phoebe's arm they orbed out. The attic was the safest place to be, Paige placed two crystals close to the door and two others behind two boxes, to hide them. It was a rather large square but he would be unable to get them, and the Book of Shadows was out of his reach.
"Phoebe, are you ok?" Paige asked looking for marks.
"No, but you won't be. Paige please do not go down there, I had a vision, he literally took your heart out. He's strong. The baby kicked after the premonition occurred sending me in a UH and then I must have fainted from saying that while losing air."
"Not only that, but he picked me right off, I should've seen him, it was as if he was right behind me."
"He picked you off? Look at my head!" Paige yelled with pain as she touched the bleeding scar on the back of her head.
The attic door swung open, and the sisters grabbed themselves close. A large blue light swallowed the demon in a dome shaped field. Paige eyed him. He looked like a man with bad fashion taste. Piper grabbed the Book, and she began lightly flipped through it, as the pages turned themselves and stopped at a page with the title "End".
"It says, End." Piper shrugged her shoulders, as Paige began to read.
"End, a demon called from the darkest of shadows by a higher being, to destroy enemies that have for a while been unstoppable. He is least of the demon ranking, but nearly one of the strongest. The reason others can control him, is they have a light-wielding dagger able to show him his past, the once salvageable human form he was. He tastes the hearts of one victim to heal this suffering pain within, and brings the body back to the man who ordered it, and asks for a feeding of darkness in order to take out the other two. Highly dangerous."
"What the hell?"
"That would explain your heart being ripped out." Phoebe let it slip out, she knew Paige was holding back the tears and emotion; she was frightened of that demon.
"Basically, it's an assassin afraid of his past, which is what the people who order him around use against him. He does a little heart rip --" She choked a little and went on, "then he goes and kills the others he was sent after. I guess in the end, the shadows engulf him back to his prison."
"Rat tah geta go ji Moe!" the demon smirked and the field shimmered into his hands. "Amazed at what witches still do not know." he began to step forward.
"Ah!" Piper let out a scream and he froze in place, "C'mon!"
They ran around his frozen statue and scaled down the stairs and went into the foyer, hidden behind furniture. He appeared facing them. But how; Piper yelped in surprise. The ceiling was overcast in shadows, the room felt cold and clammy. Phoebe side kicked him onto the floor as they scuttled, more like ran through the through the foyer, past the stairwell and into the dining room.
"This is how it happens!" Phoebe cried out.
The tall man began approaching them, shadows hiding his face; he sent an energy ball, and twice the size they'd ever seen towards Piper. A loud ringing from the clock sounded through the room. Piper froze everything she could. Phoebe didn't move a muscle but ordered Paige to orb the ball at him. She took it in her hand and let the room unfreeze to send it back into his chest. It gathered him of his feet and seemed to have flown with him into a nearby wall. It fell as if paper. Paige began to call a blessed dagger, and Phoebe stopped her. Piper blew up his arm just as Phoebe was stopping Paige. He waved his arm, and Phoebe and Paige flew past both sides of Piper into two corners. The demon laughed, he chuckled, and he even began to pat his knees as if the best joke in the universe was told. By reflex Piper froze him, he pushed through it, and his arm regenerated. He was inches away, when he sent Piper over the table and into a potted plant. Paige rose in unison with Phoebe. They both ran towards him, kicking him, and trying hard to fight him, he grabbed Phoebe's arm and spun her around banging her head into a portrait where he kicked her in the small of her back and watched her collapse backwards before him. While all that, Paige kicked him in the back, and pushed the same blessed dagger right into his neck. A faint noise became clearer and Paige half distracted; wait it ceased. Piper stood up watching as the whole room froze again. She was getting stronger with her gift. The demon was tired of these games. He sent another energy ball at her, which amazingly she dodged, front falling into a roll, which she stood up and eyed him. All 3 stood in silence. Paige stepped back. The demon turned on his heel, and grabbed Paige by the throat; he yanked her heart out, and let her drop to the floor. He fell through the floor, as all the rooms seemed to light up again. Piper let out a gasp, a scream that popped the chandeliers. She gathered Paige in her arms.
Paige began to breathe, panting, and then her face went blank. Her body jolting. She was gone.
