Piper and Phoebe were looking in the Book of Shadows for the demon that had attacked Paige. Paige had been asleep for about six hours. She had fallen asleep almost right away. Piper was tearing through the book, her anger directed at it. "Whoa, Piper. The Book's not the one who did this to Paige." Phoebe said gently and she took the book away from Piper. "I know, it's just that I'm so . . ." Piper let out a sigh of frustration. Suddenly the demon/ dark lighter appeared in the attic. "Aw, you guys still trying to vanquish me?" Piper flung her hands to blow him up, but it just rebounded off of him. Phoebe ran at him determined to get a hit in. She gasped and stopped short, putting her hand on her stomach. He pulled out a bloody knife. Phoebe staggered back and collapsed. "Phoebe!" Piper cried. "Leo!" She called frantically. The demon smiled and shimmered away. Phoebe lay there gasping in pain. Leo appeared in a swirl of lights. He saw Phoebe and rushed over, placing a hand over her stomach. A few seconds later, Phoebe got to her feet. "Where would we be without you?" Phoebe grinned weakly at her brother-in-law. Leo smiled back. "Did you find anything out from the elders?" Piper asked. Leo turned to his wife. "His name is Derek. He's the last one of his kind but he's working on creating more of his kind and he's very close to it." Leo said nervously. "The Elders are starting to worry." "How do we vanquish him?" Phoebe asked. Leo rubbed the back of his neck. "The problem is, he's killed all the witches who have killed his family, so no one knows exactly how to kill him." "We should try a bunch of potions then." Piper said. "I'll make them." Piper, Leo and Phoebe turned to the door of the attic as Paige walked in. "Paige, you should be sleeping." Piper scolded. Paige gave her a wave of her hand. "I'm okay." Her face was a little pale, but she looked mostly alright. "Right then. I'll get the ingredients." Paige said. She closed her eyes and felt herself beginning to orb . . . then fell on the ground, exhausted from trying. "Leo, can you?" Phoebe said gently. Leo helped Paige up and orbed her to the kitchen. "Thanks Leo. I hate this! I could barely orb." Paige's eyes welled up with tears of frustration. "Paige, you just went through a whole lot. Don't worry about it; your powers will be better before you know it." Leo said giving her a smile. Paige smiled and gathered some ingredients. They kept orbing back and forth from the attic to the kitchen, until an hour later, they all gathered in the attic. There were about fifty different kinds of vanquishing potions. "I think that this might do it." Piper said satisfied. Phoebe nodded. "Let's just summon him ourselves." Paige said. "He won't have the element of surprise. Piper and Phoebe agreed. A few seconds later after a spell, Derek appeared in the attic. "Well, that saves me the trouble of shimmering over here." He grinned at Paige. "Feeling better?" Her face went white with fear, and then she glared back at him. Phoebe hurled a potion at his feet. It exploded, leaving a un marked Derek. He grinned and hurled a fireball at Phoebe. "Fireball!" Paige called. It appeared in her hand and she hurled it at Derek. He went crashing back and Paige collapsed from the effort. "Keep throwing potions." She said weakly. Piper and Phoebe threw one after another until all the potions were gone. Paige got to her feet and looked at the Book of Shadows. "I think I've got it." She said excitedly, pushing away the feeling of tiredness. "No." Derek growled, knowing what spell she was looking at. "It takes a little bit of dark magic, but it's fairly safe." Derek had an idea forming in his head. If he could slip something into the potion, he could change the Charmed one into one of his kind. "No way." Piper said firmly. "We're not going through that again." She glared at Phoebe, remembering the one time she had gone evil with Cole. Phoebe grinned back sheepishly. "I'm sorry Paige but I have to agree with Piper." Leo said. "But we can beat him! I want to vanquish him. You have no idea what I could have gone through. Except maybe Leo with the dark lighter thing, but then to get kicked when you're down." Tears welled up in Paige's eyes. Derek suddenly shimmered over, grabbed Piper and shimmered out.
