Phoebe tossed in some billings root in the boiling metal pot. " 'You're overreacting Phoebe'" She mocked and tossed in more ingredients, "I'll show you who's overreacting." Phoebe growled. Paige orbed into the attic.
"Eeww. What is that smell?" She said crinkling up her nose.
"Oh, it's just the potion I'm making for the demon that's trying to kill Prue" Phoebe explained, a puff of smoke came from the potion.
"Does it have to smell so bad?" Paige complained.
Phoebe sighed, "Look, Paige. Prue and Piper already said that they weren't going to help me, but I really need some help here. So can you help? Please?" Phoebe begged.
Paige smiled, "Of course I'll help. But can I get something plug my nose?" She teased.
"Paige!"
"Kidding. Only kidding." Paige walked over to the Book of Shadows, "So what kind of demon is it?" She asked opening up the book.
"Honestly, I don't know. But I've compiled a list of demons and warlocks that use athemes, and I found out that mostly warlocks use them. So I'm making a potion that is mostly for warlocks but with a slight demon dosage." Phoebe explained.
Paige had a blank look on her face, "Wow. Didn't know so much could be said in one breath."
"I've already scried for evil. The addresses are on the table." Phoebe pointed to a slip of paper on top of a small table across the room.
Paige went over and read the paper. Prue walked in the room and sighed.
"Phoebe. I'm going to be fine. So can you stop?" Prue tried.
"No." Phoebe snapped. "And you shouldn't even be up here!" the little sister filled some vials with the green-blue potion.
"I think she'll be fine." Paige offered.
"Then why are you helping?" Phoebe snapped again.
"Well for one thing I haven't seen any action all day at magic school, and two Prue is my sister too and I don't want anything happening to her." Paige explained.
Prue laughed, "You're both insane."
"Well you know what, that's why we're the babies of the family and you're not." Said Phoebe linking arms with Paige.
"I'm not a baby." Paige said.
"You know what I mean" And the two orbed out. Prue smiled shaking her head.
Piper came into the attic, "Hey Prue I'm getting ready to pick up the boys you want a ride to the magazine?" She asked.
"Uh, yeah just give me a minute." Said Prue. Piper walked away leaving Prue alone. Prue noticed that Phoebe had forgotten a bottle of potion.
'My premonitions, rarely don't come true.' Phoebe's voice echoed.
'Prue is my sister too, and I don't want anything happening to her.' Echoed Paige's. Prue picked up the bottle and stuffed it in her pocket. She turned around and gasped. In front of her was Shaft. She was about to throw him across the room when he plunged his atheme into her stomach. Prue let out a painful gasp. Shaft removed the atheme from Prue's abdomen. The wicca winced and fell to the floor. He smiled at Prue and kicked her on her back. Prue let out a low groan in pain.
"One down, three to go." He sneered and shimmered out. The demon left Prue in a small pool of blood.
"Piper." Said Prue with as much energy as she could muster. Piper turned the corner of the stairs.
"Prue are you come- Prue?" She raced to the door but it slammed shut. Piper proceeded by banging the door.
