Chapter 5- Friend or Foe?

"Ah the whitelighters of the group. Paige, Two future people, and Leo the original Charmed Ones whitelighter. Well with this amulet what are you going to do. Sclegel." He said and with a wave of his hand, Leo, Wyatt and Liv were sleeping under a spell conjured from deep in the underworld. He was so close to achieving his goal. He grinned showing her his yellow pointed teeth that hadn't been cleaned in over two centuries. He drew back his hand, appearing in it was a great big black and gold energy ball…

Paige watched as the energy ball grew larger and larger. The demon that had been trying to destroy their lives, Zixon, had obtained the amulet the plastic demons had used against them the other day. It blocked all good magic, Paige was frozen to the spot. Too shocked to move and with the amulet unable to orb. There was nothing she could do to stop him. He launched the energy ball at her, she clenched close her eyes as the energy ball soared through the air.

"Goodbye Paige, oh and don't worry your sisters will be joining you very soon." He said as the energy ball neared it's target. 'Why can't there be one demon out there that has a good sense of humour?' She thought sarcastically. She bravely took a peek, instead of seeing the giant energy ball coming towards her she noticed a random golden yellow energy ball collide with it sending it harmlessly into the wall. She sighed relieved that she was lying on the floor dead.

"This is for my brother, you forget Zixon I know how much using your energy balls drains you. That is your one weakness." A strangely familiar voice yelled. Before courageous rescuer could through an energy ball at the nasty demon Zixon shimmered out. Paige looked in the direction of her saviour. It was the demon from earlier, the one that had wound her up so much by being honest.

"You? What are you doing here? Come to see a charmed one die?" Paige asked annoyed making her way over to her sisters sides. They were still knocked unconscious.

"Were you actually even present through out that whole experience? I saved your life…ungrateful whitelighters." He mumbled to this Paige replied with the raising of an eyebrow. "Ok, I know you're not a full whitelighter but I can hardly put down witches when I'm half witch myself." He grinned.

"Well make yourself useful, go and put the kettle on, they will all be wanting coffee, especially the sleeping beauties over there." She pointed in the direction of the whitelighters. She had learned a couple of weeks ago that she had the ability to heal, she just hadn't mastered it yet. 'Please, please work.' She begged. She held a hand over Piper and Phoebe and after a few moments a golden glow appeared followed by them waking up.

"About time, so where is the demon? And why are they all asleep?" Phoebe asked pointing in the direction of the whitelighters.

"Long story, and Zixon cast some type of spell on them. Oh and we…" Paige was interrupted by 'the honest demon' coming into the dining room.

"Paige where is the coffee?" He asked and noticed he had three pairs of eyes glaring at him. They were scary, they hadn't even tried using their powers on him yet and he was a little cautious.

"Who is he? Where did he come from? Paige you let a stranger into the manor? That's not like you are you feeling ok honey? Are you Paige?" Piper bombarded her with questions. Paige nodded and waited for her to finish.

"I did not let anyone into the manor and yes I am me thanks for being able to tell…he is the demon that warned me. He actually saved my life. All of our lives." Paige said with a look of disgust on her face. She hated to admit that she was wrong about him.

After ten minutes tall Wyatt, Liv and Leo were all asleep on the sofa's in the living room. Paige had healed Cole and now Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Cole and the demon that had saved their lives were sat around the kitchen table.

"So lets get me straight, you are half demon half witch, your mother was a witch that had an affair with a demon. So now you live as a human but have worked for other demons before. Zixon being one of them, he killed your brother so now you are good. And you warned Paige that he was planning on killing her. Ok…I suppose on some twisted weird level it makes sense. More sense than Cole becoming good because he fell in love." Piper scoffed. Cole glared at her.

"So are you in the book of shadows?" Paige asked. He nodded. She called for the book, it fell onto her lap. She grunted, she always forgot how heavy it was. She still wasn't sure whether or not to trust this demon. After a few moments of awkward silence she found him.

"Ah ha, Graltzor, half demon half witch. Has golden yellow energy balls, basic witch abilities, shimmering, oh and don't forget telekinesis. Has a human form as well as a demon form. Born in 1883, making you what? 128?" Paige asked after reading the little information that was in the book.

"127 actually but I like to say 27. You're 27 right Paige?" He asked smirking.

"Yeah, yeah 'Graltzor', couldn't you come up with anything better at least Beltazor has a ring to it. So what's your name, human I mean." Paige asked ignoring his comment. He smirked he liked winding her up.

"Does she talk to everyone like that? My name is Jake Percy Henderson but you can call me Jake, oh mighty Charmed One." He joked. He received a dry look from Paige but heard stifled giggles from the older Charmed Ones.

"Hey I'd be careful mate your winding the one up that has the ability to orb parts of your body anywhere in the world." Cole laughed. He then also received a dry look from Paige.

"Well I think we should start to prepare for a vanquish and don't worry Jake, not you Zixon shall be gone. He deserves to be vanquished for having such a bad sense of humour. Jake you help Piper with waking them up, Phoebe, you and Cole can start on the spell. And I'll do the potion. Come on then." She said and started to get up.

"Um, Paige can I help you with the Spell?" Jake asked taking a step away from Piper.

"Oh, come on I don't bite." Piper said feeling a little hurt.

"Oh I didn't mean…it's just I don't think they would appreciate being woken up by a stranger and also I like making potions." He justified his reason. Paige nodded and he followed her upstairs. Piper noticed Phoebe smirk and raise an eyebrow, Phoebe had one thing in mind; to play matchmakers.

After waking Wyatt, Leo and Liv up Piper started to look through the book, she wanted to find out more about Zixon and there new found honest demon Jake. She saw a bundle of blue orbs and was a little surprised to see that it was Liv, Piper was still wary of her. After all she had no idea of who she was. All she knew was that she was part demon and that she went magic school with her sons.

"Hey Piper…ah chew!" She orbed in and out. She was ill, she must have caught a cold when she was caught in the rain the other day.

"Hey I think I've got some cold medicine if you want some." She asked, she hoped they didn't all get it.

"No thanks Piper, I'm allergic to it. Take one sip and my powers go crazy last time I started orbing everywhere, it took mum ages to find me. So I'm just going to have to suffer, although…soup is always a good replacement." Liv hinted with a cheeky smiled. Piper could take a hint, she smiled.

"Ok, ok I can take a hint. I'll make you some." Piper was sure she knew her from somewhere. She was so familiar.

"So what are you looking at?" Liv asked walking over to the book. She glanced over the page and almost froze when she saw the picture of the demon that had nearly killed Paige. Piper was still wondering why she was so familiar.

"That demon, Zixon, while you were asleep he nearly killed Paige but Jake saved her. Still don't know whether or not to trust him though. Any future knowledge?" Piper asked hoping that for once they would just be straight with her.

"Only that you should be careful around Zixon, he is very powerful. Could you let me and Wyatt handle the vanquish?" Liv asked with a look of disgust on her face and then quickly sneezed again.

"Wait a minute…you and Wyatt haven't been interested in any of our other vanquishes so why is this one so important to you?" Piper asked.

"Yeah, in the unchanged future you guys didn't manage to vanquish him and he got away then he resurfaced recently and killed that person we told you ab…" Liv explained with a look of pain in her normally emerald green eyes. They were so much like P…

"Oh my god, I don't know why I didn't see it before? How could I be so stupid, it all makes sense now…I mean everything. You and Wyatt coming back, hanging around her, even you…you make sense to me now." Piper rambled. Liv had a confused expression on her face, what was her aunt going on about?

"That's nice that you understand me Piper, but could me and Wyatt please handle the vanquish?" She asked again.

"You're Paige's daughter, from the future aren't you? She's the person that gets killed…isn't she?" Piper whispered in case anyone was near.

"Yes…but you can't tell the others." She whispered and a single tear escaped rolling down her cheek. Piper instinctively wiped it away and enveloped her niece in a hug.
