Chapter 9: The Source and His Demons
Disclaimer: If I owned Charmed, the only pale thing would be the eggs Piper would use to make omelets for Leo.
A/N: Umm, so yeah. Hope you like it. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, keep it up. And remember, questions are welcome. Oh and guys, I would like to sincerely apologize for something in the fourth chapter. I called the marriage ritual Halfgang—I don't know where I got that from. Just to correct it, it's Handfast. Sorry about that—now on with the fic!!
Piper sat where Leo had left her. She didn't know what to think or do. She knew she loved Leo with all her heart, but she had already declared love to another, and was marrying him in a month. The person she usually went to for all her problems was Leo. But this time, he was the problem. 'Thank God I have sisters' she thought as the three of them walked through the dressing room door.
"So, what happened? Tell all, don't leave a single detail out," chimed Phoebe excitedly.
"Well, he told me he loved me with everything he had. He told me that he would always fight for me and always protect me. He said that all he is, is mine," spoke Piper in a slightly staccato voice. Speaking out the vows Leo had spoken to her made the words real, they made them etched in stone, and made Piper realize they were true.
"Wow, that's some heavy duty stuff," said a very happy Prue, who wasn't sure how Piper was going to deal with all of this, "do you want us to leave you alone?"
"No," spoke Piper quickly, "I want you guys to stay. The last thing I need right now is to be left alone. I just need my sisters."
The four of them engaged in a group hug, but were interrupted by a cold voice of malice behind them.
"Isn't this just sweet," the voice spat, "sisters together again. It's really too bad that I have to kill you. Actually come to think of it, nothing could please me more."
The sisters turned to face the direction in which the voice was coming from. They were faced with what was sure to be a demon.
"Piper, blow it......" Phoebe began through gritted teeth, but was interrupted by an energy ball flying towards her.
She levitated and the energy ball hit the wall, but Phoebe was left hovering.
Piper flicked her flicked her wrists and the blast hit the couch behind the demon, blowing stuffing everywhere.
"Pathetic witch," cackled the demon.
Piper attempted the same motion again, this time succeeding in blowing the demon into oblivion. She smiled to herself for vanquishing her first demon, but the smile quickly faded away as she realized that she had just blown Prue's couch. She turned slowly to face her sister's icy glare.
"That was a very, expensive couch Piper," Prue said through heaved breaths, "It was my very expensive couch, Piper. Do you have any idea, how much......"
Prue was cut off by a screaming Phoebe who was still hovering close to the ceiling. "Can somebody PLEASE get me down from here?!" screamed Phoebe desperate for some help.
Prue grabbed one foot, Piper grabbed the other, and Pam grabbed her hands as they slowly pulled Phoebe back down to the ground. They smiled and laughed in the rejoice of their first vanquish. But Pam quickly remembered the danger they had just faced.
"We have to go get the Book of Shadows and find out what demon that was," Pam urged.
"She's right guys, we have to find out what he was and who he might've been sent by," reinforced Prue.
Pam had earlier orbed the Book back to the manor so that Jackie and Patty wouldn't get worried. After all, they were the caretakers of the Book.
The girls made a circle and Pam orbed them all into the foyer of the Halliwell Manor.
Meanwhile in the Underworld, the Source grimaced with the news that his lead hit man had just been vanquished.
"Troxa should have been more than enough to kill all four of them! He didn't even harm them. Those in incompetent witches shouldn't have been ready for an attack from such a strong demon. Seems I underestimated them. I must bide my time, watch to see how they react to different types of demons. I need an inside espionage man."
With that, he summoned his best hope for defeating The Charmed Ones.
The Source summoned the demon Belthazor.
A/N: So how's everything? I'm going to start incorporating more of the T.V. plotline into my own....sort of. Anywho, just really hope you liked it. Sorry it was so short, I just have to pack to go away for like three days, but I might be able to write some while I'm away. Please feel free to flame. This definitely was not my best chapter. PLEASE REVIEW!!!
