Chapter 3: Facing the Demon
A/N: Keep on reviewing if you want me to update! I don't own Charmed.
Paige immediately ran into the arms of the love of her life, Kyle Brody. She held him tightly afraid to let him go. He sisters just watched them, smiling. They had seen how devastated Paige was when Kyle died. They just wanted her to be happy. Paige looked up at her deceased lover and asked quietly, "Are you real? Are you staying?" Kyle just looked at her and smiled. That's all it took. That's all Paige needed for her doubts to melt and for her to feel safe.
Piper and Phoebe watched the scene happily. Suddenly the phone rang and Piper went to get it. She talked for several minutes, her expression becoming more and more concerned. When she hung up her face was grim. "That was Darryl," she told Kyle and her sisters. "He said that 5 women, all practicing witches were killed in the manner Phoebe described. And they've all been to the new occult store, Magicks."
At this statement Paige and Phoebe paled. Piper knew what was worrying her sisters. Paige had been to that store a few days earlier. She could be next on the demon's list!
Kyle, however, was oblivious to the sisters' distress. When he saw the frightened expressions on the faces of the Charmed Ones, he too became worried. "What's the matter?" he asked.
They looked at each other before Phoebe replied weakly, "Paige went to that store." Suddenly Paige stiffened and looked around the room. She said, "Someone's here, someone who shouldn't be." It was as if all her whitelighter instincts were taking over. She orbed from where she stood and the others saw claw marks appear on the wall.
He was here! The invisible demon! Vidaro! Phoebe dropped into a fighting stance, but she had no idea how that would help her. She couldn't fight something she couldn't see. Paige kept trying to sense the demon and orb away, but that was extremely difficult. She gasped, as a cut appeared on her arm. Kyle, who had already healed Phoebe's wound, rushed over to heal Paige. Piper was attempting to blow up the invisible intruder without success. She exploded lamps and tables instead.
"Anyone got a spell off the top of their heads?" asked Phoebe while trying to fight an invisible attacker.
"Just start rhyming!" Piper yelled. Her sisters ran over and the Charmed Ones joined hands.
Paige said, "We call the powers, blessed be."
Phoebe continued, "Banish this demon we cannot see."
Piper finished, "Go away and leave us be!"
There was a swirl of energies, and then they knew the demon was gone. He was gone for now. But he would be back. He wasn't dead yet. They still had to vanquish him. Piper and Phoebe went upstairs to consult the book. Paige stayed with Kyle. She missed him so much, and she was so afraid of loosing him again.
She looked into his eyes and said, "I've missed you so much Kyle. I love you. I'm afraid of losing you again."
Kyle looked right back at her and whispered, "I love you too Paige. I will always love you. We were meant to be together and we always will be."
And then they kissed. At first it was soft. Then it became deeper and fiercer. As the lovers became carried away in their passion, just wanting to hold each other, they forgot one very important thing…
