Chapter Seven - Attack
Halliwell Manor
The next morning, Scully was awoken by a loud thump from downstairs. Rubbing sleep from her eyes she quickly dressed and slowly walked down the stairs to check it out, leaving Mulder still asleep on the couch. Halfway down the sound of splintering wood met her ears, followed by the thud of someone falling to the floor. She quickened her pace, peering over the banister as soon as she was far enough down the steps to see. She watched Phoebe kick a strange man in the chest, knocking him over the back of the couch. He got back up again and threw an energy ball in Paige's direction. Paige deflected it but this demon, or whatever he was 'blinked' before it could hit him and it blew up one of those paintings Piper hated. He reappeared behind Piper, and held a dagger to her throat.
"Athame!" Scully heard Paige's voice yell
The athame appeared in Paige's hand a few seconds later, much to the annoyance of the warlock. He shoved a very pregnant Piper to the ground and kicked the athame out of her hands. Scully, still watching from the stairs kept muttering "must not be seen, must not be seen" like a mantra and slowly crept down the last few steps. One of the steps creaked and she held her breath waiting for the guy to come after her. He and the witches glanced quickly at the staircase, and resumed their battle in the living room, all trying to get to the athame. Scully, now in the hallway, watched Phoebe levitate in the air and kick the warlock around the head, sending him flying across the room. He didn't get up for a few minutes, just threw a succession of fireballs in various directions hoping to hit one of the witches, but Phoebe levitated out of the way and Paige orbed around the room. Piper tried to blow him up but somehow it wasn't working. If blowing them up doesn't work, focus on the athame Scully remembered being told the day before, might as well chance it while he's down she shrugged to herself and made a dash for the athame that lay between the doorway. She picked it up and threw it through the air, wondering why none of the fireballs were aimed in her direction. Then the warlock burst into flames amidst screams of pain.
