"Chris, I didn't say that out loud, I thought it." Her face was that
of comic surprise and joy. Phoebe had used the spell for the first time.
She had no idea that she had said exactly what Piper had said when she and
Prue had used it. "Wow, this is so cool. Prue and Piper had used it years
ago. Piper had wanted to find out if Dan was a Warlock, and..."
"Who?"
"Dan, her ex-boyfriend."
"Wow, I'm glad that didn't work out."
"I bet." They smiled at each other, and then Phoebe got, and picked up the Book of Shadows. "Prue had wanted to know if her partner Jack was a warlock. It turned out that neither of them were, but that's beside the point. The point is, that for a whole day, they were having silent conversations, and I had no in on it. Ha! I am so going to pay Piper back for that."
"Um, Phoebe. I don't think that would be a good idea. If she finds out that you cast the spell, then she will know that you cast it with me, seeing as we are the only ones up here."
"You're right, but that doesn't mean I can't listen in on her thoughts. Oh, this is going to be so cool. Okay, now. I have to work on a spell to protect ourselves from this girl. Hey, do you have any idea who she is? I mean, you are from the future and all." "True, but I'm not even in Piper's womb yet." "Yes, but you knew that Paige was going to, or was supposed to, die when the Titan's attacked. And you knew that we would need a goblin entry." "True, but that's just what I found out by going to your, sorry our house. Wyatt was giving tours of the Manor, and I used to go every so often." "Oh." Phoebe looked down. "Oh well. Come on, you can help me write the spell." She turned away and grabbed a piece of pencil and a paper.
Downstairs Phoebe was working the potion to make sure that the girl couldn't bail on them again. Most of the potion was done; all she needed was the pig's foot. Piper, who had not been able to find anything on the girl, had decided instead, to help Paige in the kitchen. "Ew!" Piper said, elongating it so it sounded more like 'eeeeew'. "Ew?" Paige looked over at her older sister questioningly. "Ew" Piper agreed. "Wait, so you can handle demon guts, and demon blood, but you freak out when you see a pigs foot?" "I'm a vegetarian!" "Since when?" "Since now." Piper threw the pigs foot into the bowl, and it blew up slightly with a spurt of flame. Piper did not even register the fact that she had had that exact conversation before, word for word, with Prue. They had been mixing a potion to vanquish Balthazar, but it turned out that they had to use it for some other demons in the brotherhood. Leo, who had been standing outside, did realize it, but he shunted it aside, thinking nothing of it. "Okay. One potion, check," Paige said, pouring the foul green liquid into three separate bottles, one for each sister. "It won't allow this girl, whomever she is, to disappear on us again. One spell..." She said looking up into the ceiling, indication Phoebe. "Check" said Phoebe walking through the door. "It will protect us from the girl's magic. Some information..." She looked at Piper. Piper looked down, examining the tiles on the kitchen floor. Her hair fell in her face, and when her sister called her name she pushed it up out of the way, and looked up. Piper began to examine the floor with increasing amazement. "I couldn't find anything on her. I called Daryl and I gave him a very detailed description, and he said he would try to find her." She looked up at her sister. "So, let's see that spell." Phoebe handed Piper and Paige a paper of their own, and they looked down at the neat handwriting. On it they read: When forces of evil take the lead Driven by anger, fear, and greed Let this spell bind her powers So the advantage jumps from hers, to ours.
"Hm, not bad." Piper said looking up. "...But I don't think it's going to work. She's not evil, couldn't you sense that?" To herself she thought 'Some empathy'. "Yeah. Besides that I think that this will just about do it", Paige said as well. 'Phoebe, I heard that too, but don't let them distract you. Don't say anything back to them. Piper will know that you cast a spell' Chris was thinking inside Phoebe's head. Phoebe was so startled by the voice that she jumped. Phoebe turned around and saw Chris standing behind her. It's a good spell, don't let mom tell you otherwise. He thought to her. Phoebe jumped at the sound of Chris calling Piper mom. It was just so unusual, finding out that your white-lighter from the future is really your nephew. The brother of Wyatt. Sorry, it just slipped; I didn't mean to say that. Chris thought seeing her reaction, and Phoebe patted him on the back softly. "Pheebs?" Phoebe turned around and saw three quizzical faces staring at her. Leo had orbed in, startling her, but not much. He was always orbing in unexpectedly. "Okay, so I will change evil to... to what exactly?" "Hm. When forces of power? How does that sound to you?" Piper looked up at Phoebe not wanting to hurt her feelings. 'What do you feel now, huh Pheebs'? Piper thought irritably. 'Are you sensing a lot of frustration, because my son is missing and you are keeping secrets from me!? It's too much to handle, so whatever it is that's bothering you, you better come out and say it already.' "Piper, I am sensing a lot of frustration from you, is something wrong honey?" Phoebe smiled sweetly. 'Damn you Phoebe'. "No, not at all. I'm just scared that's all, I want my son back." Piper sighed and her hair fell in her face. She jerked her head back to make it go away. "I know Piper, but we have to think this through okay. We can't just go pouncing on a... whatever she is without knowing anything about her." "I know, you're right. Now, we'll each take one of these", she said handing Phoebe and Paige a vile of potion. "And I copy of the spell." She handed those out. "The first person to see her, throw the potion, make sure she can't go anywhere, but don't kill her. I want to know what she's up to, and where she is keeping Wyatt, and maybe who she really is." To herself she added venomously, 'Plus, I want to be the one to kill the dirty demon, girl, whatever she is.' Before they could walk out of the room, the phone rang. Piper walked quickly over to it and picked it up. It was Daryl.
"Who?"
"Dan, her ex-boyfriend."
"Wow, I'm glad that didn't work out."
"I bet." They smiled at each other, and then Phoebe got, and picked up the Book of Shadows. "Prue had wanted to know if her partner Jack was a warlock.
