When Leo Piper and Chris materialized in the attic seconds after hearing Paige's scream, it was instantly clear what had been causing the youngest charmed one distress. Paige was standing in front of an old mirror, furiously trying to reach her back where she had sprouted a pair of perfectly white feathered wings- just like Chris and Leo.

"Piper!" she cried, as she caught sight of her sister's reflection behind her. "Something's happened to me…I fainted….and when I woke up, I had these!"

"It's okay Paige," Piper replied as calmly as she could. "It's just a spell."

"What? What spell?" Paige asked, still in panic mode.

"The same one that turned Mel demonic. I swept through here and it appears to have reverted all magical beings back to their original form."

Paige scrunched up her face in confusion.

"Meaning that those of us who aren't exactly human have been forced to show what we really are." Chris cut it, clarifying what his mother had said.

Eyes wide, Paige whipped around to see that both her nephew and brother in law appeared to be in the same predicament as her. She let out a squeak of surprise. "This cannot be happening." She muttered, her eyes still fixed on Chris and Leo.

"Sorry Aunt Paige, it is." Chris replied, shifting uncomfortably under her gaze.

"I didn't even think that whitelighters had actual wings." She protested. "I mean, I know that technically they're angels…but I thought mortals just made up the whole wing idea…"

Leo sighed and avoided Piper's penetrating gaze; she was still not pleased with her husband for failing to tell her about this for the last twenty years. "No, we have literal wings." he admitted "We just never let anyone see them- but with this spell it doesn't seem like we have a choice."

Paige folded her arms across her chest. "It would have been nice if you had mentioned this sooner Leo."

"I never saw the need too!" he defended "I was pretty sure that it was a trait that part whitelighters would not inherit."

The youngest charmed one rolled her eyes. "Well, obviously we did." She said, gesturing at herself and Chris "There have only ever been three of us- you really can't assume anything."

Leo looked down at the floor.

"Where's Wyatt?" Paige asked, turning towards Piper "Has he gone angelic on us too?"

"He's downstairs, with Phoebe. And he managed to stay normal- I think his shield protected him from the spell."

"Wish I had a shield." Chris muttered bitterly. He had now moved in front of the mirror and was starring at his reflection in horror.

Piper shot him a look before continuing to give Paige a recap. "Wyatt's fine…but Cole-"

Paige gasped. "Oh no, he didn't…"

"Turn back into a demon? Yes, he did." Leo replied, an odd expression across his face.

Suddenly, Wyatt orbed into the attic, looking nervous. He gave Paige a surprised glance before forcing himself to focus back on the task at hand. "Guys, I think you should come downstairs, something weird is defiantly going on."

Paige, Wyatt, Leo, Piper and Chris all orbed back down to the living room to see that Wyatt had turned the TV to the local news station.

"The streets are in chaos." A frazzled looking reported was saying. "Citizens are urged to remain in their homes and lock all of their doors and windows. By all means, do not go outside unless absolutely necessary. This is not a Halloween prank. Back to you Polly."

The screen changed from the man on the street corner to a woman sitting behind the news desk with a pile of papers in her hand. "Thanks Tim. We have just received word that the police have managed to capture and question three of the creatures. Not all of the information is being released at this time, but Channel Six had learned that tonight's threats include so called 'demons' and something called 'darklighters'. If you think you have seen any such creatures, you are advised to stay calm and contact the authorities. Do not make any sudden movements as all of these beings are believed to attack using arrows, knives, fire, and an array of other 'supernatural' powers. There is still no word why the creatures have suddenly infected our city, but authorities hope to have eliminated all of them within the next forty eight hours. Scientists are currently-"

Having heard enough, Piper turned off the TV, her face set with fierce determination.

"Okay…we have a bigger problem than we thought."

The others, including the teary eyed Phoebe nodded in agreement. "This force, or whatever, seems to have effected every demon and super natural creature that is trying to blend in with normal society- and as expected, the mortals are not taking it too well."

"We need to reverse this, quickly." Paige added. "And to do that we'll have to figure out who is responsible for this mess."

"What if a write a power of three spell for you?" Wyatt suggested. "To summon the responsible party. Then we trap it with a crystal cage and find out what we need."

Piper nodded at her son. "Good, go start working."

Wyatt quickly orbed out.

"Paige," Piper continued. "Can you go bottle some really strong potions, just in case we end up having to vanquish this demon?"

The youngest sister nodded obediently and began to head for the kitchen. Before she could reach the door, however, she froze at the sound of Phoebe's sobs. Paige instantly rushed to her side.

"Oh, Phoebe, what is it sweetie?"

"My baby and my husband are out in that mess somewhere." She cried in response "They're demons!"

Piper sighed and sat down on Phoebe's other side "It'll be okay, we've got a plan- sort of- we'll figure this out." She placed her hand on Phoebe's shoulder comfortingly, but Phoebe instantly pulled away.

She had finally snapped.

"I don't what your pity, Piper." she hissed dangerously.

Piper looked at her sister in confusion. "Phoebe, I-"

"Shove it Piper." The middle sister shouted, tears streaming down her face. "You have no idea what I'm going through. You've always been perfect- the 'good' one- Nothing ever goes wrong with your family. I mean, your sons a freakin' angel!" She glared over in Chris' direction before continuing "How much more perfect does it get?"

Piper stood up slowly and backed away from her enraged sister, the shock and hurt evident on her face.

"Phoebe," Leo cut in quietly as he wrapped his arms around his stunned wife "This isn't you. You need to calm down, think about-"

"Cut the whitelighter crap Leo." Phoebe spat back as she stood up and began heading for the front door. Reaching the hallway she turned back and surveyed them all for several seconds.

"You know what?" she said, a sadistic grin forming on her face. "What this family needs is a little visit from a darklighter. Maybe that would help to eliminate the trash that has infested this house over the years."

"How dare you!" Paige shouted, trying to lunge at Phoebe. Chris grabbed her before she could do any damage and forced her back down.

Phoebe merely chuckled.

"Awww, is poor wittle Paigey mad at her big bad sister?" she mocked. "Because quite frankly, I don't care. You're just a half breed that nobody wanted. You'll never really belong here."

Paige sated back, wide eyed, and Chris could tell that she was fighting back tears. "Aunt Phoebe, I don't know what gotten into you, but that's enough!" he said, locking eyes with her.

Phoebe laughed again. "Poor Chris, trying to be all righteous, just like his idiot father. I'd watch my step if I were you angel- boy, I wouldn't want to run into any more arrows."

"Are you threatening my son?" Piper shrieked, struggling against Leo's grasp. Lake Paige, she now wanted nothing more than to tackle her sister to the ground.

Phoebe shrugged. "I might be." And with that she turned and left the house, slamming the door behind her, leaving the rest of the family in stunned silence.

A/N A bit short, I know, but like I've said, time is not abundant for me for the next few days. I promise a longer update soon. Same goes for my other story- I've kind of taken a break from cuz I've all the work I've had to do- I spend a lot more time working out those chapters and I don't want to compromise it's quality…thus I am writing this more light-hearted and easier to write story this week…if I don't write something, I'll got nuts.

I know some people may have questions about this chapter, all I can say is- this is fan fiction, just go with it. And don't say I didn't warn you about Phoebe…no, I don't think she's really THAT evil on the show, but it sure makes this story a lot more interesting. More evil Phoebe to come!

Tata for now!

IcantthinkofaFnick- Thanks for such a long review! You're the only one who answered my questions, lol. I agree about Piper, I've just really stared to like her recently, can't remember her from season one, but I didn't have a favourite at that point. I really like Paige too, she was my favourite in season 5…hope you approve of my portrayal of her in this chap. She doesn't have a huge role in this, but I have a Chris- Paige bonding story in mind for another fic…maybe I'll post it at some point. Glad you like the wings idea, I was worried people would scoff at my stupidity. I hope I have explained the Wyatt thing enough…the shield prevented it from effecting him…but that doesn't mean he won't be caught off guard later:) Oh, and in regards to your comments on chapter two- The way I see it, if he telekinetically orbed her that would still be exposing more magic- maybe not directly relating it to him- but still, it would be harder to explain than fire. And yes, it would also ruin my plot, lol.

phoebe turner- Thanks so much! Judging by your name, I'd say you're a Phoebe fan…hope you'll still be reading after this chapter:) (Don't hate me)

Alyssa Halliwell- Thank you! Hope you don't hate me after this one...tell me what you think.

Cornett- Glad you approve of the Halloween thing…I realize I'm a bit off season. Thanks for reviewing!
