Pamela tossed and turned in her bed. The pain in her leg kept her from sleeping. She pulled back the covers and examined her leg. She winced as fresh pain course through her veins.
"Ok now you have to get Paige to heal this." Pamela stood up, and headed toward the door. Shaft shimmered into the room. He held out his hand and Pamela glowed a reddish-pink. "No, I think I'll just try and sleep instead." Shaft turned invisible and watched Pamela turn and climb black in her bed. Shafts reached into a pouch on his belt and sprinkled some kind of dust over Pamela. Instantly Pamela felt tired and fell asleep. The demon turned visible and smiled.
"And I'll make sure that you are infected. I'll make you suffer for what you did to Kaffa." He said and shimmered out.
The next morning was cold, and raining heavily, along with thunder and lightning. The power had gone out overnight. Most small businesses closed down, and not many large businesses closed. The Bay Mirror was one larger business that did close down. Phoebe freaked; she was practically behind in her column. P3 was another, although Piper didn't freak, actually she was relieved. Leo started a fire in the family room, only to have Wyatt and Chris fight over how to cook the hot dogs.
Pamela tossed and turned in her bed; Shaft torturing her with nightmares. Pamela sat strait up in her bed, panting. She looked at her leg. The girl winced in pain.
"Why didn't I get this healed last night?" She complained and stood up. She went over to her closet and picked out and outfit for the day. When she was dressed, Pamela rushed out of the room. A cardboard box appeared in the middle of the hallway. Pamela tripped over the box and rolled on the ground with a loud bang. Out of control, Pamela fell down the first flight of stairs and then the second.
"Pam? Oh my God!" Piper rushed over to help her up. "Are you ok?" Pamela wiped herself down.
"Uh yeah, I think." Pamela looked back up the stairs.
"What happened?" Piper asked still worried.
Pamela didn't answer at first, "I tripped over something." At those words Shaft who was standing at the end of the hallway the whole time waved his hand and the box disappeared. Then Shaft turned invisible. Pamela and Piper started up the stairs and stopped at the top of second flight of stairs.
"I don't see anything." Piper said. Pamela was unphased. "Are you sure you tripped and it wasn't something else?" The question startled Pamela.
"You think I was doing this on purpose?" Pamela asked irritated.
"What? No! Of course not. It's just that the hallway is empty and you tripped. So there has to be another reason for your trip." Piper paused to look around. "Maybe you tripped over yourself?" She suggested.
Pamela nodded, "Yeah, I was rushing a bit." She admitted. Piper and Pamela turned and walked down the stairs.
The two walked into the family room were Wyatt and Chris had finally figured out how to cook the hotdogs.
"You hungry?" Wyatt asked. Pamela nodded and Chris gave her a half burnt hotdog.
"I'm sorry it's kind of burnt." Chris apologized.
Pamela smiled, "It's ok. No prob." Piper and Pamela sat down on the couch that was pulled in front of the fireplace. Wyatt and Chris sat down in some chairs placed next to the couch.
"So, where is everyone?" Pamela asked stuffing her mouth with her hotdog.
"Phoebe and Paige are looking to see if there is any grocery store open, and Leo and Prue are out looking for flashlights, batteries and candles." Piper explained and took a bite out of her hotdog.
"So it's just us for a while huh?" Pamela glanced at her leg, and saw that blood had seeped through her jeans.
"Yup." Piper looked at Pamela. She noticed that she was looking at something else and followed her gaze. When Piper saw Pamela's bloodstained pant leg she stood up abruptly. "Pam! You're bleeding!" She exclaimed. Pamela looked up at Piper; her face said 'Oops, she found out!'
"What happened?" Chris asked standing.
"I-I don't know." She lied. Piper kneeled down and rolled up Pamela's jean to find a big gash on her thigh.
"Well this definitely didn't happen when you fell, some of the blood is dried." Wyattremarked pointing to a small patch of dried blood.
Pamela was quiet for a while; "Prue and I summoned some demons yesterday. The one that I vanquished knocked me against a shelf and made this gash. I'm sorry, I should've told you." Pamela looked totally guilty.
"Why didn't you have Paige heal you?" Piper asked.
"Well…" Pamela started but Leo and Prue came through the door. Piper stood up and walked over to Prue. Suddenly the room froze, nobody moved. Shaft appeared. He walked over to Pamela and kneeled down next to her leg.
