A/N: Hello, hello! I'm glad everyone loves the fic so far!

wyatt333, Well, we don't always get what we want – smiles innocently. –

Christine Marquez, I know what episode you're talking about. But in that, they both turned evil. Only Piper did this time. And the Blood Oath completely turns you. Signing in blood that you agree to join the dark side is . . . well, almost like giving up your soul to the devil (Sorry if that example offends anyone, but it was the best I could come up with.) She was completely turned, for the most part – except at the end when Phoebe begged. As for Leo, Paige, and Prue, you'll need to wait to see. You might like what happens and you might not.

C.Charmed24/7, You're right. Lets' hope Phoebe's plan works, then! Though I already know – Smiles innocently. –

Matt91, Wow, lol. Glad you like it so much! We spoke, through e-mail and IMs; so I don't need to say much more except that I'm glad you like it!

Okay, unless something suddenly comes up, I think this will probably end at Ch 21, then I'll start the Spin-Offs. So, glad everyone's enjoying this so much!

Please enjoy and please review!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Phoebe parked a block away from the cemetery. She didn't want anyone to see her car and alert Kirkus. She had to have her presence known at the perfect, precise moment or her plan would fall to shambles.

Slowly, Phoebe entered the cemetery, walking carefully and trying to avoid stepping on twigs, acorns, and anything else that might alert the demons to her being there.

Finally, after several agonizing minutes, she came upon the spot where Kirkus, the Children of Darkness, Piper, and the demons were. Kirkus stood at the front, addressing the group – as he had been before – with the Children of Darkness on one side of him and Piper on the other side.

Phoebe inched forward, trying to listen. She only heard a few words here and there, but it was enough to allow her to know when the right time would be to go into action.

She sat there for several minutes, crouching and hidden behind headstones and bushes. Her legs were seconds from giving way, because she was in such a bad position for so long, when all the demons left in their own respective ways, leaving Kirkus, The Children of Darkness, and Piper alone.

Now was her chance.

Phoebe stood, bracing herself and, half limping – she was still sore from being hit with the car – walked to Kirkus, head held high, trying not to show fear.

He must have sensed her coming, because Kirkus looked up quickly and smirked, watching her approach. The Children of Darkness and Piper tensed, but Kirkus held a hand out, warning them off.

Phoebe stopped in front of them. She took a deep breath

"Phoebe," Kirkus said, before Phoebe could say anything. "So nice of you to join us. Now we don't need to go looking for you. You saved us a trip."

"You were going to go look for me?" Phoebe asked.

Kirkus laughed. "Of course. You might have saved us a trip, but you made a huge mistake on your part. You see we're going to-"

"Wait," Phoebe interrupted. "Hear me out first."

Kirkus frowned suspiciously, but nodded. "Speak."

"I know I made a mistake," Phoebe said slowly and seriously, trying to look sincere, "when I ran away last time. But now without Piper-" She paused, forcing tears into her eyes for affect. "Without Piper, I really have no one left. I can't win at all anymore and I-I-" She took a deep breath. "I want to sign the Blood Oath – for real this time. No tricks."

Kirkus looked startled and taken aback. Whatever he had thought Phoebe was going to say, it hadn't been that.

"You what?" Kirkus asked, just to make sure he had heard her correctly.

"I want to sign the Blood Oath," Phoebe repeated. "For real this time. No tricks, I promise."

Kirkus nodded. He seemed so shocked at what she was saying, that he totally forgot to question her honesty.

Phoebe caught a quick glimpse of Piper and the Children of Darkness; they, too, looked surprised.

Man, how thick can you get? Phoebe wondered. None of them were questioning her, when they had every reason to question her, especially since she and Piper had used this very trick to try and kick their asses only a few hours ago.

Kirkus held his hands out. In one hand appeared the same athame used to cut Phoebe's and Piper's fingers earlier, and in the other was the Blood Oath.

"Hold out your finger," Kirkus ordered, but not in a cruel, mean, demon sort of way. He still seemed shocked by Phoebe's request to join the side of evil, and he had told her what to do in an almost baffled tone.

Phoebe nodded, holding out her left hand (She'd held out her right hand last time) and stuck out her pointer finger.

Kirkus took the tip of the athame and pushed it into the top part of Phoebe's finger, a drop of blood oozing out.

Phoebe tried hard not to wince. She watched as Kirkus unrolled the Blood Oath – the same Blood Oath, she was relieved to see, that Piper had signed. If it had been a different one, she would have been screwed.

Kirkus pointed to a line next to the one with Piper's dried blood on it.

"Just a drop of blood right here will do," he told her.

Phoebe nodded, her heart thumping hard against her ribcage. Kirkus, along with the Children of Darkness and Piper, were staring intently at her, waiting for her to sign.

Phoebe lowered her finger to the parchment, then pulled away at the very last second, snatched the Blood Oath from Kirkus with her right hand, scurried backwards, and proceeded to tear it to shreds.

"NO!" Kirkus cried shrilly, turning pale with anger and, well, more anger.

Phoebe tore up the Blood Oath until the pieces were so tiny, they couldn't be torn anymore. She threw them violently – as violently as paper could be thrown, anyway – to the ground and looked up at Piper anxiously.

Something in Piper changed. She closed her eyes and shook her head, then opened them and stared around in confusion. Her clothes went back to normal and her eyes widened, as if it had just dawned on her – what had happened, that is.

She turned to look at her sister. "Phoebe?"

"GET THEM!" Kirkus demanded of the Children of Darkness.

"Piper!" Phoebe cried, reaching out and grabbing Piper's hand. She tugged and they ran, ran as fast as they could.

They could hear the Children running after them at break-neck speed, but Piper and Phoebe were faster. They ran until they reached the car. Then, out of breath, they jumped into the car and Phoebe turned the key and hit the gas, speeding home.
