Chapter 10

"Wait, before we go I think we should tell Chris where we are going." Piper said.

Paige and Phoebe looked at her. "What?" Piper told them. "He has a right to know."

"I guess," Phoebe said. "Chris!" she called.

They heard Chris running up the stairs. "Demon?" he asked breathlessly.

"Sorta," Piper said. "Phoebe had a premonition -"

"Of the place I was kept. Sykes was in it. It's present."

"You want me to come?" He asked.

"Yeah," Phoebe replied.

"Okay,"

When he wasn't looking Piper and Paige glared at Phoebe. She shrugged.

"There's nothing here." Chris said at the cave-like place.

Phoebe went over to the metal door and kicked it open.

The place was empty but for the tables. They all stepped in and then suddenly Paige crumpled. "Paige?" Piper said, crouching next to her. She saw a tranquiliser dart sticking out of her back. She turned, along with Phoebe and Chris and saw Tozer standing behind them. Before Piper even raised her hands, Chris blew him up. He too, crouched next to her and healed the prick where the dart had gone in. she sat up.

"Where to next?" he asked.

"Lucy's," Paige said, before Phoebe could interrupt.

It appeared there was no one in the apartment when the four Halliwell's arrived. Chris went around every room and then just before he opened her bedroom door, it opened and Lucy was standing there.

"Chris!" she said.

"Don't try the innocent act," Phoebe told her. "We know who you really are."

"Oh yeah? Who am I?" she replied.

"You're not who you say you are."

"Oh no, I'm still who am I, well, sort of." She smiled. "You see this body is still Lucy Fuller's. She's in here somewhere." She said.

"So if you're possessing her, who are you?" Chris asked.

"The Sorceress Isobel Locke. See, a while back, Lucy did her first vanquish. On me. Only, she didn't do it properly. She vanquished my body but not my spirit."

"Leave her body Isobel." Chris said. "Before I vanquish you properly."

"You wouldn't do that," she laughed. "This body is you're girlfriends."

Chris shot a bolt of electricity over her head as a warning. Using Lucy's conjuring power, Isobel conjured up a force field like Wyatt's. He shot another at it but it dissipated when it hit it. He was thrown to the floor and realised that somehow his dad was there and holding him down. He heard the sister's reciting a spell to free one's soul and heard Lucy gasp, then fall to the floor.

"Lucy…" Chris said, reaching for her hand. The force field was gone now.

"Chris." She said breathlessly back. "I don't know what happened. I'm sorry for whatever I did."

"It doesn't matter," he replied, standing up as Leo let go. He knelt next to and pulled her up. He hugged her tight. "It wasn't you're fault. How long has she been in you?"

"I don't know," she replied. "It's all vague, mainly blanks."

"She had access to all your memories," Leo said. "How you act, etc. That's why no one picked up you were possessed until Phoebe got that premonition."

Lucy swallowed. "Good, I'm… I'm glad she's gone."
