Okay, I'm finally updating this one. I had kind of forgotten about it but I hope some people still remember and like it.
Chapter 5-Upcoming Danger
"Are you sure you're gonna be okay to go alone?" Cole asked his wife as he put the shopping bags on the kitchen counter.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," she answered him in a tone that indicated how afraid she was. "Besides I need you to stay here and look at the kids. I'll handle it. It's just a simple vanquish, right?"
"You know I don't mean the demon. You haven't been to the house alone since…," he paused not wanting to bring anything up that would hurt her.
"I know, but this is something I need to do. Demons aren't going to stop attacking and it's best to keep the book there where it's more powerful with the nexus and everything," she informed him as she gave him a small smile to assure him. "I gotta go. I love you," she told him as planted a kiss on his lips.
"Bye babies," she said to the twins who sat playing with toys. "Bye, Wyatt, Chris, be good for uncle Cole, k?"
The boys nodded and Pheobe grabbed her purse and was out the door, walking slowly to the car.
Arriving at the manor, she found it hard to step out of the car. It had been much easier to lie about her feelings when she wasn't so close to the place which held so many memories of her old life and many people lost.
She took a deep breath and attempted to climb the few steps leading up to the house. She knew that she had to go inside. There was a demon, not a very powerful one, but still a demon that needed to be stopped. She would have to face her own demons later. This one needed to be stopped now.
Walking into the foyer, she felt a sharp pain as she looked around at the unchanged surroundings. It was exactly how it had been, clean, in place, like Piper had left it, magazines still sat on the table, unread from when they had arrived. Staring at the coffee table, she couldn't help but pick up the picture which had sat there untouched, dust now covering the corners. She looked at all everyone, happy, enjoying the bliss of the day, her and Cole's wedding only months before their deaths. As she ran her hand over their faces, she was hit by the shock of an oncoming premonition.
"Piper, it's over here," the youngest sister said pointing.
"No, it's over there," Piper argued pointing in the opposite direction.
"We'll go this way," Leo mediated, though siding with Piper.
"Fine, but you're only agreeing with her cuz you're sleeping with her," Paige responded following the two others in their demonic search.
Within a moment of notice, they were slaughtered, not given even the slightest chance to defend themselves, their powers having no effect on the demon who held all three within his grasp.
Pheobe gasped as the images flashed past her, turning into a blur before flashing her forward to a new round of images.
"Mommy, watch. I do my power good," Ben exclaimed with a smile, excited that he had some control on his powers.
"Me too! Me too!" Patience screamed, trying to grab Pheobe's attention.
"That's nothing," Chris interrupted the toddler. "Me and Wyatt have cooler powers."
Wyatt, not saying anything, orbed a few toys to his cousins.
"See, I told you," Chris teased. "Much cooler than yours."
Patience immediately began to cry.
"Chris, stop teasing," Cole said as he picked up the little girl.
Within a second, Patience was gone and Cole was left on the ground-bloody, beaten, and dead. The boys disappeared a moment later and the demon wasn't done.
Finding herself lying on the ground, Pheobe picked herself up and tried to grasp what she had just seen-the deaths of her sisters and then the rest of her family, everyone she had ever cared about. The demon wanted them dead, and she now realized that he wouldn't stop, that he wasn't finished. He wanted the children. She just didn't know exactly why.
Grabbing the Book of Shadows from the attic without any thought, she rushed home, afraid that her premonition could come true at any moment.
It was better than nothing, right? Please review. I'm trying to get everything updated so please don't give up hope on any of my fics. I'll get to them eventually, I promise.
