Chapter 2: The Amulet
"I sent you to do one small task and yet you failed me?"a very powerful demon asked to his minion demon.
"I'm sorry master," the demon that tried to get the amulet was saying. " It will never happen again."
"You're right, it won't ever happen again." He threw an fireball and destroyed the one who failed him. "Let this be a lesson to you all. Fail me, and you die. Now get ready to get that amulet back."
"Leo, do you have any idea what this is?" Phoebe asked, looking at the amulet in wonderment. "I couldn't find it in the Book of Shadows anywhere."
"I've never seen it before, but if it was held by a witch, I'm sure the Elders know. When Paige comes back, ask her to go ask them." Then they heard Wyatt starting to cry. "I'll go get him," Leo said. Phoebe continued to look through the Book when three demons shimmered in. One threw an energy ball at her but she jumped behind the couch.
"Come out you little witch." Paige orbed just in time to see one throw another energy ball.
"Ah," she yelled. One of the demons turned around and threwone at her. "Energy ball!" It orbed to her hand, and she threw it back at him. He went up in flames. While the other two were distracted, Phoebe picked up a metal rod and stabbed it into one of their backs. He went up in flames. The other one shimmered away. "What was that about?" Paige asked.
"I have a feeling it has to do with this amulet," Phoebe answered, holding it up.
"What happened?" Leo asked entering the room.
"Oh nothing, just the ordinary demons trying to kill us," Phoebe answered sarcastically.
"Paige, could you go check with the Elders about that amulet. We need to know what it is, what its for, and why demons want it." She orbed off to talk to them.
"I'm gonna start making potions to protect myself better," Phoebe announced. "I was dead meat until Paige got there. I'm not gonna let that happen again."
"What do you mean they quit on us?" Piper asked a band manager on the phone. "I don't care if they are having issues between themselves, I need a band for tonight. I promise my customers live music." She listened for a little bit. "Fine then!" She slammed the phone down."Stupid unreliable bands and their pissy managers." She heard her cell phone starting to ring. "Yes?" she said in an overly tempered voice. "Okay Phoebe, I'll be right home."
She got her stuff together and told one of her employees to take over for the night and to find some sort of live music. She got into her car and drove home.
Once she got there, she found Phoebe in the kitchen cooking up some nasty smelling potions and Leo in the living room holding Wyatt. "Whoa, it smells in here," she commented when she got into the kitchen.
"Yeah, this potion has some strong ingredients," Phoebe answered back. "We have a problem though."
"What, I've had enough problems today." Phoebe asked what had happened. "Well first we were low on some of our supplies, one of my best workers quit, and then the band cancelled on me."
"Oh, well we can take that anger out on demons as soon as Paige gets back."
"Where is she?" Piper asked.
"She went to ask the Elders about an amulet that I stole from a demon who stole it from a shopkeeper. Demons attacked earlier to try and get it back from me. If it weren't for Paige, I would be dead right now."
"Well hope she gets back so we can kick these demons asses." After she said that Paige orbed in. "Finally. What have you got for us?"
"All they told me was that the amulet held great power and not to let demons get a hold of it."
"Just like them to leave out details," Piper complained. "Well, let's go get them."
