Part Two

"We've been back for five minutes and already there's a demon that wants to kill me!" Cole told Phoebe, pacing up and down the front room of the Halliwell manor.

Phoebe was sitting on her sofa with the book of shadows resting on her knees, "Poor girl, obviously doesn't realise just what she's gotten herself in to."

"This isn't how I wanted her first night in this dimension to be, I mean I knew we'd still get demonic threats to deal with but not so soon."

"Whatever that thing possessing her was, called you Belthazor. He's been dead for over two years and every demon on this plane knows it. So, my theory is this demon still thinks you're Belthazor - meaning it doesn't know just how invincible and powerful you are."

"Or it does, and that's why it's using Lana as its shield. If it still thought I was the old Belthazor, it'd know I don't care much for humans." Cole replied, stopping the pacing and sitting by Phoebe.

"She isn't human." Phoebe quickly retorted. She shook her head, flicking endlessly through the pages of their magic book. "It's no good, way too many demons nowadays can master possession of another's body."

Cole let out a bit of a laugh and smiled at Phoebe, "Then we just need to narrow it down to those that want to kill me!"

"Oh, now that would be a long list!" She smiled back at him. Beginning to feel why it was she loved him so much again perhaps? She quickly shook her head and got serious again. "My sisters and Leo will be home soon, It'd be best if we found this demon fast." Then, Phoebe gazed at the book and rubbed her eyes, "Oh my goddess."

"What is it?"

"A page has been torn from the book, I never noticed before. Come to think about it. I really don't think I've been so close to the end pages."

"Who would do that? Rip a page from the book of shadows?" Cole asked, obviously as shocked as his 'girl'. Even an experienced demon like him couldn't provide an answer to this one.

Phoebe sat in silence, head buried in her hands looking at the book. "Next time I see Grams we are gonna have serious words about this! She never mentioned a missing page, I can't believe she didn't mention it!"

Meanwhile, in the underworld the Possessed Lana sits on the empty Source's throne as two demons enter. "So it's true." One demon says.

"You're back." The other finishes.

The demons looked what humans would refer to like twins, they were in demon form and had smooth, bald headed and somehow faceless features. The eye sockets looked like two black oval shaped marbles were inside.

"That dimension the Source banished me too almost killed me, but then I found a way out through the woman you see before you, but unless I kill Belthazor I won't be here to become the new Source.." Possessed Lana told them. She was sprawled across the throne making herself very comfortable.

"Sir, we must make it known to you that neither of us served the old Source, or even Belthazor when he took reigns."

"Tralfaz speaks the truth my liege, we were frozen out of the former Source's plans stayed in hiding." There was a great sense of respect from these two demons, obviously the thing inside Lana was their master.

"So it's true. Belthazor became the next Source. Well now, he's linked up with two witches, one being this half demon thing I call a body. I know where he's hiding, and I want him dead. Can I trust you both to kill him?" She questioned his loyal minions.

Just like the Source, Possessed Lana waved her hand and they were gone.

Back at the Halliwell Manor, Phoebe has unsuccessfully been trying to summon her Grams in the attic. "Oh she's stubborn!" Phoebe gritted her teeth and looked up to the heavens, "This isn't over!"

Cole was standing silently by the doors, keeping his distance from the potentially dangerous good magic Phoebe was using. "I think it's time I faced this thing alone, it can't kill me."

"No Cole, you think it can't kill you. Just because good magic and a couple of fireballs hasn't killed you, doesn't mean evil can't."

Before Cole could even reply he was sent flying across the other side of the room, smashing in to the wall and falling to the floor. The demon twins appeared where Cole had stood, folding their arms and looking at their next target. Tralfaz raised his hands and juggled two newly generated fireballs in the air, then firing one after another in the direction of Phoebe who stood bemused as to what just happened.

She levitated up in the air, avoiding the threats. On landing, the Wiccan charged Tralfaz and at the last second turned her charge in to a flying kick, catching the demon in the chest but to no affect. Phoebe dropped like she'd hit a brick wall, Tralfaz pealed her off the floor as his brother watched on, at this point he simply wasn't needed.

Tralfaz threw Phoebe straight at Cole, who was just getting to his feet when he saw his ex fly straight at him and knock him back down. The duo were down and Tralfaz nodded to his brother who until now had been a mere spectator; it was the spectators turn as his brother now took the back seat.

Cole this time quick to his feet fired five energy bolts in quick succession - enough to see his attacker scream, set on fire and vanish. "It's not over Belthzor." Tralfaz shouted, shimmering away as another fired energy bolt came his way.

"Ok, first demonic possession and now.. ROCK demons or whatever attack in my own home, what the hell just happened?!" Phoebe demanded to know, dusting her outfit.

"The Twins, Tralfaz and Trey. The only demons not to respect me as the Source. It can only mean one thing, the demon that possessed Lana is the real source."
