A/N-Hello again. That's the third one today. I really should be studying. :( Well... here's the next chapter. Hope u like, please review! Thanks alot footiefan... luv ya.
While Piper and Holly talked some more about their children, and Rose started telling Rose about her life, Alyssa and Phoebe were done with the spell and were sitting and talking about random things. The demons, however, were slowing making their way upstairs. Piper's room, being the closest to the stairs, was the one they were planning on attacking. After the orb-proof spell had been cast they had waited just a little bit before beginning their advance upon the sisters. They knew that they were not expected, and hoped to use this to their advantage.
"Do you know who's in that room?"
"Yes, it's the witch who can freeze time." The demon stopped at his masters words.
"Then why are we going there? They can freeze us and then kill us."
"They don't know how to kill us. We've done good keeping under cover all of these years. They have no information on us, and have no idea the extent of our powers."
"How do you know that?"
"I heard their white-lighter telling them before he left."
"You heard them? How could you hear them?"
"Even you do not know just how many powers I posses. You will learn in time, though. First, focus on the plan. And be quiet, we can't have them finding out we are coming."
Back in Piper's room Wyatt put his shield up. He could sense the demon coming up. Piper noticed immediately and started to call for Leo, before remembering that he could not hear her.
"Holly, are you sure that you can freeze things?"
"Yes, why? What's going on?"
"I don't know, but Wyatt is sensing something evil. Here, hide behind this drawer. As soon as that door opens, freeze whatever comes through."
"But what if I can't?"
"Holly, we can't afford self-doubt right now. You have to be confident that it will work. Being afraid helps too. Just remember that if they get the chance they will maim you and then banish you to eternal life in hell. You'll never see Finley again, or your husband."
"David?"
"Hey! My favorite name, mean's it's yours too. Never mind, stay on track. And…
"…be quite."
"I didn't say a thing."
"Stop talking." The demons were standing in front of the door. The couldn't hear what the clone and her original were saying, but they would hear mumbled conversation and a little boy crying.
"Get next to Wyatt, he will protect you." Holly said. Piper smiled and did as she advised. It was going to be interesting to see how she did in real life. Holly braced herself as the door disappeared with a large explosion-like sound. The door itself simply vanished, not spraying debris or anything like that anywhere in the room.
"Not Holly!" Piper yelled as she saw Holly panic and freeze herself.
"Holly! It's okay to be scared, it helps sometimes. Focus!" The demon stepped in. He lifted his hand and sent Holly flying against the opposite wall. Piper winced. She knelt down, holding Chris, and whispered to Wyatt.
"Wyatt. You have to save her. See if you can kill the demon." Wyatt stayed standing still, facing the demon. Piper was afraid he didn't understand was going to repeat herself when the demon suddenly burst into flame. He screamed and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Wyatt still didn't move. Piper stepped out of the force field, but Wyatt stepped back to keep her in. Piper listened. There was still another demon.
"Holly…" she whispered. "Holly? Are you okay."
"Yeah". She sat up.
"Get in here… into the force field." Holly did as she was told.
"Wyatt vanquished him."
Together they concluded, "There's another."
"Thank you for getting rid of him for me, he was becoming quite a nuisance." Piper began to worry. The demon was invisible. He must be an upper-level. There was not telling what other powers he might posses.
"Show yourself."
"I'd rather not. Otherwise your precious little monster might burn me too. Little pyrokenitic."
"I wasn't aware Demon's knew big words like that."
"Aw now… don't judge by the others. Just wait until you step out of there. Then you'll see what a real demon can do to a powerless witch, and her clone.
