Thank you SO much everyone who reviewed.
Conversations with Demonic People:
Piper, Paige, Leo and Cole sat in the library of Magic School,
"I can't find anything to do with demons who turn things to stone," Leo said, closing the book in-front of him,
"me either," Paige agreed, putting the book she had been reading on top of the large pile.
"So there's nothing in the book, and there's nothing in here, so where will we find something?" Piper asked,
"we could always see if there's something in Olympia," Cole replied,
"that's a good idea," Paige nodded, orbing out. Leo took hold of Piper's hand and orbed them out, while Cole shimmered out.
Meanwhile, Prue stalked through a dark, damp, abandoned, warehouse, whispers rustled amongst the walls and cracks spread across the ceiling,
"I know you're here," she stated. A black dragonfly hovered past her head, it split up and became two red wasps, which darted towards Prue, ready to sting her,
"I didn't come here for dragon flies," she hissed, her crimson eyes set upon the wasps and they burst into flames.
"I know why you're here, demon," a voice told her,
"I'm not a demon," she said, her eyes turning back to green,
"whatever, but I'm not giving you the Grimoire, I risked my life stealing this from the Avatars, I'm not going to give it up now," the voice said. The eldest of the Halliwell sisters closed her eyes, a bubble of orange formed around each of her hands, then she flicked her fingers and the bubbles blasted through the air, connecting with the wall in-front of her and making it explode into fragments of mouldy plaster and cracked cement. A man could now clearly be seen standing there, the Grimoire in his hands,
"you sure you're not a demon?" he coughed, dust from the collapsed wall was flying around the air, entering his and Prue's lungs, but she didn't cough, she didn't want to show any kind of weakness.
"Give it to me," she snarled, darkness clouded over her eyes,
"fight me for it," the demon said, but before his green laser could get near her, she vanquished him with acid, picking up the Grimoire from the pile of ash which remained of him.
Dimension of Olympia
"You might find something in here," Artemis told Paige, giving her a large, heavy, leather-bound, book,
"thanks," Paige said, struggling not to drop the old book.
"I'm gonna go pick the kids up from Magic School and take them home," Piper told them,
"okay, see you later," Leo said, they shared a kiss and then he waved his hand, making her orb out.
Not much later, Piper sat at the dining table, reading through the books from the club, when she saw orbs form next to Karis and Grace, who were playing with their toys, and form Patrice,
"you're supposed to be having your nap," the middle charmed one stated. As she stood up, Piper was hit with a dizzy spell and dropped to the floor unconscious,
"auntie Piper!" Karis exclaimed, running to her aunt's side, "Patsy need to orb us to uncie Leo," she told Grace, who held Patrice's hand in her own and then took Karis', who was holding onto Piper's.
"Orb us den," Karis said, Patrice just giggled,
"me call," Grace said, "dada!" a swirl of red orbs appeared beside them and transformed into Andy,
"auntie Piper!" Karis told him, pointing to Piper. Andy crouched down next to his sister-in-law, checking her pulse,
"I'm gonna orb aunt Piper to hospital, Karis if a demon attacks get Patsy to orb you out," he told them, dissolving into orbs.
Paige orbed into the female toilets of a café, where she was going to be meeting her real father for lunch, she walked into the main part and found Sam waiting for her at a table.
"Hi," she said, taking a seat,
"hi," he greeted, Paige felt very uncomfortable, they both did,
"I want to know more," she blurted out,
"more about what?" he questioned,
"who I am," she replied.
"Okay, anything you want to know I'll tell you," Sam told her, Paige nodded and a half smile appeared on her face.
Cole shimmered into his apartment, expecting to find Phoebe, but instead he found Prue waiting for him,
"Prue, can I help you with something?" he asked,
"how do you do it?" she said,
"do what?"
"handle being part demon."
"It is quite difficult, but the way I learnt was to suppress my demon half as much as I could," he told her,
"my witch powers feel weak compared to my demonic ones, I don't know what to do," she said, sadness filled her face.
"Prue, all you need to remember is that you're not evil, you're a charmed one, practically the greatest force of good in the world, as long as you don't forget that you'll be fine, and don't use your demonic powers for more than a minute or two, otherwise your body might get too used to them and want more," the half-demon explained.
"Thank you, I can't believe I'm saying this, considering I kinda hate you, but thank you so much," she said, a small smile played across her lips, she reached out to get the Grimoire off the table but it leapt out of her grasp,
"see, you're not evil," Cole said, "why did you want it anyway?"
"Because I thought there might be something about demons who turn things to stone in there," she replied,
"and is there?" he asked,
"I don't know, I haven't looked yet," she shrugged,
"well considering you can't touch it, I'll get it, shimmer us to the manor and you can use some kind of cloaking spell so Andy or Leo can touch it, if you do if might awaken you demonic part, and Piper might be gullible to the dark magic, though there's less chance of it getting to Paige or Phoebe as they are half-whitelighter and the Angelic Seer," he told her, lifting the ancient book up and shimmering him and Prue out.
At the hospital,
"we've ran some tests, so she should be able to leave now," the doctor told Andy,
"do you have any idea what it is?" the warlighter asked,
"she might be anaemic, possibly diabetic," he replied,
"okay, thank you," Andy said, walking over to where Piper was standing and leading her into an empty corridor, where he orbed them out.
They orbed in to find Prue making a potion and Cole playing with his nieces,
"what's that for?" Piper asked, she still felt a little bit drowsy,
"so Andy can touch the Grimoire, see if there's anything about stone-turning demons in there," Prue replied,
"when did we decide this?" Andy asked, feeling like he'd missed something.
"Well it's either you or Leo, you'll be more resistant to it's dark magic," the eldest charmed one told him, as she drizzled some black liquid into the potion, causing it to make a 'popping' sound.
A few minutes passed, and Andy had now drank the potion and was flipping through the pages of the Grimoire,
"I've found something," he stated, they all crowded round him to read what he had found.
To be continued…
A/N. I haven't decided on the next chapter, but I know it will be up tomorrow.
