Thanks for reading and reviewing the other two chapters. This one is probably rather boring, but I needed to explain a few things. So here it is.
Chapter Three
Paige looked around hurriedly; not spotting anything that could double for a weapon. While Bianca advanced slowly, the energy ball still glowing in her hand.
"Leo?" Paige called hopefully, "Leo!"
Paige did the only sensible thing she could; she orbed a heavy lamp half way across the room and straight into the side of Bianca's head. Darn it, she thought as the evil witch hit the floor, I really liked that lamp.
Chris chose that moment to come out of unconsciousness. He sat up and gasped, his hand going to his wound, "Bianca?"
Paige rolled her eyes and gestured to the floor, "She's taking a nap, or she's possibly dead. Oh great, how are we supposed to get rid of her? Which day is rubbish day?" she asked thoughtfully.
"No, no." Chris mumbled to himself.
"What's wrong with you?" Paige inquired, sinking into a chair and grabbing a magazine.
Chris looked incredulous, "Do you people ever check the Book of Shadows?"
"Of course we do!" She paused, "Well, you know, Leo does for us. We have a system, the system works."
Chris stood up, swaying a little, "The thing is, if she doesn't finish stripping my powers, I'm going to die."
Paige looked up from her magazine, "Oh. I could see how that would be a problem." She scratched her head thoughtfully. "Okay," she said dropping the magazine and walking over, she prodded the fallen girl with the toe of her boot. "Hmm." She prodded her again.
"Hey!" Chris protested.
Paige shrugged, "Sorry, but it really helps me think. You give it a try."
Chris ignored that.
"Wait. I've got it! We let her wake up, drain your powers, then I stab her with an athame!" Paige flourished her hands.
Chris nodded slowly, "Yeah, that could work. Wait, what was that last bit?"
Paige tried to look innocent, "I think it was give her potpourri."
Chris knew better than to comment on that, and then he realized something. "Where are Piper and Phoebe?" he questioned.
Paige shrugged. "No idea."
There was a groaning sound from the floor. Paige quickly took a few steps away; hoping Bianca didn't know Paige had been poking her with her shoe.
"I can answer that," she said, sitting up and putting a hand against her head, "Ow." She muttered.
Paige tapped her foot impatiently, "Well?" she asked, "Would you like an Advil or can we continue?"
Bianca glared, "I cast a spell on them to make them lose their inhibitions."
"What?" Paige yelled, "Oh great! So Phoebe's probably in Hong Kong as we speak, and Piper … I don't even want to know what she's doing!" She pointed at Bianca, "You're going down Future Girl."
Reviews are the spice of life... or something."
