Chapter 22

"So she's evil?" Harry asked.

"Yes and no. She has evil inside of her and right now it's controlling her but there's still good inside of her." Piper explained.

"So what do we do?" Harry asked.

"I don't know."

"I do." Hermione said, "If there's still good inside of her why don't you just make a potion to increase the good in her. If you do that she might be able to win out against the evil in her."

"That could work, but it could also vanquish her if the evil has too strong a grip on her." Phoebe said thoughtfully.

"Leo?" Piper asked turning to her whitelighter.

"I'm just here as a mode of transportation, the Elders won't let me interfere. They said you have to figure this one out on your own." Leo said, his face turned slightly red.

"Fine, we will do this without the Elders, we'll just have to make sure we get the measurements right. Too much potion could kill Paige where as too little will have no effect." Piper said turning her back on Leo.

"It's the only thing we have and if we wait much longer all the good in her will die." Phoebe said, "Let's do it."

Paige looked at the sight before her. Demons were bowing to her, she was their leader, she was the Source.

"Your ladyship, if I may?" One of the demons asked and she nodded her head in approval, "The power of three is now broken, should we kill the remaining two?"

"No, first we will try to make them turn, it may take time but if evil has the power of three we will be unstoppable. If they will not turn, then we kill them." Paige told the demons before her.

She smiled thinking of the destruction they could cause and then pain shot threw her. She screamed and demons rushed to her side helping her to sit.

"Leave all of you I'm fine, it's just my good side is trying to fight." The demons left and she sat alone trying to push away the last drops of good in her body.

Time passed as she slowly felt the good in her ebbing away, "Evil will win, evil always wins." She said aloud.

"Not this time." A voice said from behind her.

"I thought you would come," She said turning around, "But you're to late, I am almost all evil now, the good in me is to weak to fight."

Piper, Phoebe, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Leo stood before her grim determination on their faces.

"Why are they here?" she asked looking at Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"We're here to fight for the Paige we know, Phoebe and me fight as sisters, and they fight as friends." Piper answered.

"It doesn't matter how many people you have, there's not enough good in me anymore." Paige countered.

"Maybe not, but we can give it a boost." Phoebe said and threw the potion.

Paige screamed as the potion hit her, a blast of pure good.

'I won't let you hurt my sisters or my friends!' a voice yelled inside her head. The battle had just begun.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They watched as Paige screamed and collapsed into the floor.

"Now we wait." Phoebe said.

"Yes," Piper agreed, "Now we wait."

"Um guys?" Ron said poking them. "I don't think waiting right now is the best thing to do."

Piper and Phoebe turned around, several demons were standing at the doorway.

"Right, Phoebe let's go, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, you back us up." Piper said taking charge.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione drew out their wands and the battle began.
