Chapter 3: Demon Fighting
"Fine!" Paige yelled at Chris. "I give up! We'll go after your Groglak demon. Just let me make the potion"
"Already done," Chris interrupted. "I have the potion, and a copy of the entry in the book of shadows."
"Man, you really want us to get this demon," Piper said as she sat down at the kitchen table. "What does the entry say?"
"Groglak demon," Phoebe read from the paper she had taken from Chris. "Its powers are shimmering, energy balls, and, oh this is weird, its venom is used as a truth serum. Maybe we should use some of that venom on Chris."
"Very funny, you didn't finish the entry. The demon can take the shape of a snake and its venom is poisonous. I have some anti-venom in the fridge. Any questions?" Chris asked as he ushered the girls into the front hall. "Good, let's go."
"Fine fine," Piper said. "Let's just wait for Michelle, and then we'll go."
"Ok, I'll just wait in the attic. You guys just come upstairs when you're ready to go," Chris said easing out of the kitchen, and turning slightly red at the mention of Michelle's name. "Sorry," he said after he bumped into Michelle. "I, uh, didn't see you there."
"My fault," Michelle said completely unfazed. "I just let myself in. I hope that's ok. There's my handsome little man," Michelle cooed as she went to Wyatt in his high chair.
"Well, I called work and took the morning off, so we're going to go vanquish a demon and we'll be back at lunch," Phoebe said as she picked up the vanquishing potion bottles on the counter.
"To the underworld! Now Wyatt I want you to be good for Michelle," Piper said kissing Wyatt on the head and grabbing Paige's hand. "Let's go."
"Michelle," Chris asked before following the girls. "I'm really sorry about the other night.
"Oh don't be ridiculous Chris. It was just a spell. I'm so over it."
"Good, then do you want to maybe, oh I feel like such a looser. Do you want to go out sometime?"
"Love to," Michelle said slightly set off balance by the sudden question.
"Great, I better catch up with the girls," Chris said feeling slightly dumb for asking Michelle out, and also extremely happy she said yes. He hadn't dated anyone since Bianca's death, and still felt weird asking her out, but there was just something… familiar.
Meanwhile down in the demon bar in the underworld, the girls were beginning to get a little upset with Chris for not showing up.
"Where is he? He nags us for days about this demon, then we agree and he doesn't show up," Piper said, getting a little restless.
"Sorry, I needed to talk to Michelle," Chris said when he finally orbed down eliciting a smile from Phoebe. "Ok, the demon we want is the one in the corner. We need to find a way to lure him out so we can vanquish him."
"Oh screw this," Piper said as she stood up from where they were hiding, and threw it at a demon and vanquished him. "See, we're done."
"Actually," Chris said annoyed, "I was pointing at the demon next to that one the demon that has now just escaped."
"Oh," was all Piper said. "Well, let's get out of here then. We'll scry for the demon again when Phoebe gets home from work. Beam me up Scotty."
"But"
"NO," Shouted Phoebe and Paige so loud that the demons all turned toward them. "Ooops, we better get out of here, and fast."
"Too late," Paige said once the first fireball came zooming past their heads. "Time to fight. Energy ball," Paige called. Then all hell broke loose. Paige redirected the energy ball toward another demon. Piper blew up three others, and Phoebe stabbed a few with an athame she stole from the demon Paige had disintegrated.
"Well, that was fun," said Chris once he had vanquished the last demon. "Let's head back. We need to make sure the Groglak demon didn't go back to the manor to attack us before we attack them."
"Good idea," said Paige.
