"Kill him Cole!" Piper tried to scream. The knife was pressed against her throat that if she moved her head too much that it could cut her. Also, she was afraid that Jamaal would kill her if she screamed.
Cole appeared uncertain about what to do in the situation. Unknowingly, an energy ball formed in his hand. He looked down and saw it in his hand. "I'm not turning evil. No matter what." He said firmly.
"Not even for your witch's life?" Jamaal asked cynically. He watched as the blood ran down Piper's neck.
"My sisters will know that I'm missing and once they find me they will vanquish your sorry ass!" She said.
Jamaal laughed and ran his finger down her cheek. "Stupid witch. Too bad Prue couldn't live to see this.."
Piper looked pissed. "Don't you dare talk about Prue!" She said angrily. She wiggled her hands in the chains trying to get out of them.
Cole threw an energy ball at Jamaal and watched as he flew across the room, smacking into a cave wall. Jamaal only laughed. "What's wrong? Are you still mourning Prue?" He laughed once again at her pain. "Stupid mortals. You love people who will always leave you. Prue's death almost killed you." He said. "You can't stand not having your big sister around anymore. You loved her." Jamaal said sounding serious before breaking out into a grin.
"Every demon thought that the Source sent Shax after the Charmed One's. But that's not true. It was me." Jamaal said.
"How is that possible? Only the Source could send Shax on killings." Cole asked.
"Let's just say I promised he could be Source." He said.
"You killed Prue?!" Piper asked stunned.
"No, I wasn't stupid enough to go after the eldest and strongest Charmed One alone." Jamaal said. "All I told Shax to do was to reveal your secret to the world. I saw what was going to happen after people found out who you really are." He said. "Everything was perfect until Phoebe went to the Underworld. Leo was supposed to leave with Cole so he wouldn't be there to help you. You should have stayed dead, Piper!" He said.
Piper sat there shocked. Cole was about to attack Jamaal when Jamaal threw a fireball at him, causing him to bleed and to fall to the ground. "Cole!" Piper screamed.
Jamaal walked back over to Piper. He kissed her and felt her fighting him off. He pulled away and held her still. "Cole will die soon. At least his human half will. Then I will his demon half." He revealed his plan to Piper.
"Why are you doing this?" She asked, tears running down her cheeks.
"Because I want you as my Queen when I become the new Source. I need Cole out of the way. Soon I will kill your sisters also." He said kissing her again. Piper thought she was going to be sick.
THE BAY MIRROR
Phoebe was sitting in her third meeting of the day. She was bored out of her mind. She kept snoozing off during the meetings. Suddenly a demon flames into the room. For a second, Phoebe thought she was dreaming. But by guessing from the screams she knew he was real. "Phoebe, get out of her now!" She heard Jason yell. The demon had Jason by the throat, lifting him into the air.
"I can't Jason. He's a demon! I don't care if we hate each other or not. There is no way in hell I am letting you die!" She said rushing over to him. She kicked the demon in the side. Jason fell as the demon went backwards from the kick. Phoebe ran over to Jason and checked to make sure he was alright. "Jason, please leave."
"There is no way in hell am I letting you die!" He said repeating what Phoebe had said earlier. He grabbed a letter opener on the desk and cut the demon, not enough to kill him unfortunately. The demon waved his hand and Jason flew into a wall.
At this moment Phoebe wished she had an active power like Piper and Paige; or even like Prue did when she was alive. The demon clenched his fist and Phoebe started to choke. She instinctively brought her hands to her throat. "Paige! Paige!" She managed to get out.
Paige orbed into the room and saw what was going on. "Weapon thingy!" She called out seeing a weapon in his belt. It appeared in her hands. The demon dropped Phoebe and turned on Paige. "Give that back now, witch!" He demanded. The demon Kamala through Paige into the wall. She rubbed her head as she sat up. "Do you how many times that has happened to me?" She asked rhetorically.
She threw the weapon at the demon but he only caught it. "Uh, nice catch." Paige said sarcastically. "Phoebe, a little help here!" She said to her older sister who was tending to Jason.
Phoebe kicked Kamala the demon and really wished Piper was here to blow him up. "Paige, I know a spell that might just work!" She said as an idea hit her. "Repeat after me."
I am light
I am one too strong to fight
Return to dark
where shadows dwell
You cannot have this Halliwell
Go away and
leave my sight
And take with you this endless night (A.N I know
this is the spell to vanquish the Woogyman but I thought it could
work here.)
Paige repeated the spell Kamala the demon only became weaker. "We have to say it again. It might work.
I am light
I am one too strong to fight
Return to dark
where shadows dwell
You cannot have this Halliwell
Go away and
leave my sight
And take with you this endless night
Kamala blew up, causing the windows to shatter. Paige looked at Phoebe and asked where she got the spell.
"When I fought the Woogyman." Phoebe responded.
"Woogyman? Don't you mean Boogyman?" Paige asked.
"Nope, Woogyman. He's a shadow that I saw Grams vanquish in the basement when I was little. When we first became witches I was turned evil from him but I said this spell and it vanquished him."
Paige saw Jason was unconscious. "The demon did that do him, huh?" She asked.
"Can you heal him?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't know. I've never healed anyone before." Paige said unsure.
"Yes you have. You helped Leo heal Cole a year ago and you healed Leo before as well. You can so do this" Phoebe said. She didn't want Jason to die.
Paige nodded and kneeled down beside Jason. She placed her hands over his body and waited for the familiar glow to come from her hands. When nothing happened she became frustrated.
"Be patient. You have to want to heal him and let all the goodness in you come through." She said. Paige tried again and saw the glow appear from her hands. Jason woke up and saw Phoebe kneeling beside him along with Paige.
"Is the demon gone?" He asked groggily as he sat up.
"Yeah, we vanquished him. How are you feeling?" Phoebe asked. She saw Paige orb home after she saw everything was ok.
"OK, I guess." He said. "I'm sorry I've been such a jerk to you lately. I was just angry that we broke up. I really like you Pheebz."
"I really like you too, Jason. I don't love you though. I love someone else. I have to be fair to you and to myself. I really care about you and I hope we can still be friends." She said.
"Sure." He said. He went to his office and slammed the door.
Phoebe sighed and left for the manor. She hated having Jason hate her but she loved Cole too much. She wanted to be with him.
THE MANOR
Paige searched frantically for Piper. When she heard the door opened she prayed it was Piper. It turned out be Phoebe. "Is everything ok Paige?" Phoebe asked.
"No, Piper isn't here."
"Maybe she went out or something." Phoebe said not worried about her big sister.
"Piper said she was coming to the manor to relax. Plus, see the broken vase and the blankets over the floor? Piper hates messes. My guess is someone kidnapped her." Paige said.
THE UNDERWORLD
Cole was shaking and breathing hard. "Please, don't let him die!" Piper begged.
"Sorry, no can do." Jamaal said.
"If you heal him I promise to stay in the Underworld. I wouldn't make a good Queen anyway if you kill him. I would be too depressed." Piper said trying to get Jamaal to heal Cole.
"Fine! But no tricks or anything. Once I heal him he leaves." Jamaal waved his hand and Cole was healed. Jamaal waved his hand again and Cole suddenly vanished. "I sent him back to the penthouse. He won't be able to come back to the Underworld."
Piper had one question that she had been dying to know. "Earlier you said you knew that people would find out our secret before it ever happened on the day Prue died. How did you know that?"
"I can see into the future. It's a power I stole when I killed a witch." Jamaal said. "Now, back to my plan. I am being coroneted this evening. You will join me as m Queen." He said running his finger down Piper's cheek.
"Why did you want to kill me before then?" She asked.
"Because I had to get Cole angry enough to think I would actually kill you. I wanted you both to turn evil but you are perfect. I was going to kill him anyway." Jamaal said.
Jamaal then summoned a dark priestess. He kneeled down to Piper's level. "Ready for your wedding day? He asked. He kissed her then waved his hand so a black dress appeared on her. He undid the chains but then tied her hands. "So you wont try to freeze or blow up anything."
Piper struggled but soon found she couldn't move. Jamaal had recited a spell that wouldn't allow her to move. "Priestess, please begin with the ceremony." He said and the dark priestess began the dark wedding on Piper and Jamaal.
