The Dreams of Paige Matthews
Taken
Back in reality:
"Mommy!"
Piper awoke to hear Wyatt's crying for her. He sounded scared. She could almost feel his terror. Chris was screaming too. She rushed into the nursery. A large hooded demon was towering over the children. Wyatt's shield was up protecting the two of them, for now, but it appeared as though the demon was absorbing Wyatt's magic.
"Get away from my sons!"
The demon turned to face Piper. The demon had a very wrinkled face with two small horns, one above each eyebrow. He had a pointed chin and a symbol on his forehead that looked like two overlapping snakes.
Piper put up her hands and attempted to blow him up. The demon used the power he had acquired from Wyatt to protect himself.
"Wyatt, stop him!" Piper cried out to her son.
Wyatt and Chris just continued to cry.
Piper grabbed onto the demon's arm and tried to pull him away from her children. The demon used his powers to blast her across the room. Phoebe came into the nursery just in time to see the demon disappear, taking the children with him.
Leo rushed in. "What just happened? Where are the kids?"
"A demon just stole our children!" Piper shouted at him.
"What! How? Why didn't Wyatt use his shield?"
"He did! The demon just absorbed his power and used it against me!" Piper began to cry hysterically.
"Oh no. We have to go check the Book of Shadows and find out what we're dealing with. Phoebe, go wake up Paige. We need to work fast. I have a feeling we don't have much time."
Phoebe left the room to wake Paige. "Leo, our sons have been kidnapped! Who knows what that demon is planning to do with them?" Piper said to him.
"That's why we need to consult the Book of Shadows. Piper, we need to have faith, for our boys. They're counting on us now."
"Piper! Leo! Get in here!" Phoebe called to them from the other room. She sounded distressed.
The two of them rushed into Paige's bedroom.
"I tried everything but she just won't wake up."
"What's that in her hand?" Leo asked.
Piper grabbed the sheet of paper out of Paige's hand and read it silently to herself. "Oh no. Paige cast a spell. She won't be waking up until 8 a.m. and there is nothing we can do about it."
"Are you sure?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah. It's a dream spell. The way it's written, she will be asleep for nine hours. The spell ends at 8:00 in the morning. I don't think we can wait that long for her to wake up. We can only hope that this demon can be vanquished and we can save Chris and Wyatt without the power of three."
"I'll watch over Paige," Leo told them. "Phoebe you check the Book of Shadows and find out what we're up against. Piper, you try scrying for our boys. Don't let your guards down. We're in for a long night and I don't want any of us falling asleep. It's up to us to save the boys.
