Paige Matthews let out a frustrated sigh and blew back a strand of red hair. She had gotten to her job early, only to find out that no one was there. She was about to orb back to the manor, when she decided to make the best of this. She had been spending waay to much time with the Book of Shadows and vanquishing demons. She decided it was time for a break. Three hours later she came out of the mall with a bunch of bags in tow. She had been needing new clothes anyways. The last shirt she wore had a demon blood stain in it and it wasn't coming out. She closed her eyes after making sure no one was watching and orbed herself home. She opened her eyes and saw the familiar view of the kitchen staring back at her. She looked at the note on the counter and read it. "Dear Paige. Leo and I decided to go on a vacation for a bit and Phoebe's out of town on a news trip. We're sorry to rush off on you so suddenly but we felt like we needed a bit of a break. We'll call you as soon as we can. Love Piper." Paige felt a bit hurt that her sister's hadn't told her about this, but she shrugged it off. A while later, she had the funny feeling someone was watching her. "Who's there?" Paige said cautiously. "I better get a potion." She mumbled to herself. Her back was turned when the demon appeared. "Hello witch." He said coldly. Paige spun around and put her hands up in self defense as he hurled a fire ball at her. She went flying back and smashed into the couch in the living room. "Ow." She groaned and got up slowly. She needed a spell to get rid of him. "Um . . . evil demon standing here . . . make this evil disa . . ." She was cut off by him. He smiled and a crossbow appeared in his hands. "I don't think so." Paige was too shocked at how he had done that to orb away as an arrow came flying at her. "Ah!" She cried out in pain as it hit her stomach. "Leo! Piper! Phoebe!" She called out, the poison setting in already. The demon walked over to her and yanked the arrow out. Paige gasped in pain and dark sports danced in front of her eyes as she collapsed. "Please someone help." She said weakly. "They're not coming for you." The dark lighter sneered. "They don't care about you." Paige looked up at him, tears welling in her eyes. "Liar!" She yelled and swiped his feet out from under him. He cursed and went down and Paige stood up weakly. She staggered to the staircase and almost reached the door. "You just have to make things difficult, don't you!" He sneered. He looked up suddenly, smiled and waved. Paige looked at where he had been looking. "Who's there?" She asked, the poison wearing her down. She was sweating like crazy and every step she took was pure agony. "None of your business!" He snarled and launched an energy ball at her. It hit her in the stomach and she went flying into the door, crying out in pain and finally letting herself fall limp on the ground. She looked up to see the demon standing over her smiling. "It's too bad that your sister's aren't here to see this." Paige let out one last cry as energy ball hit her, numbing everything in her body. "Piper, Phoebe, Leo?" She groaned. "Why?" She cried, tears streaming down her face and she faded into unconsciousness. The demon walked over and felt for a pulse. He smiled after not getting one and shimmered away.
