A/N: Thanks for the reviews you guys they're awesome. Keep them coming!
Phoebe began to cry when she saw the word carved into her arm.
"What's happening to me?" she asked sitting on the couch.
Both Piper and Prue went to her at the same time. She looked so vulnerable and they wanted nothing more than to protect their baby sister. But from what, they were both asking themselves.
The three Halliwells sat on the couch like that until the older two had calmed Phoebe down enough for her to fall asleep clutching onto both of them like her life depended on it.
"Should we check the Book of Shadows?" Piper asked Prue.
Prue nodded and both began to untangle themselves from Phoebe.
"Prue, Piper," Phoebe mumbled in her sleep.
"We're right here sweetie," Piper said to her taking her hand.
"Should we wake her and take her upstairs?" she asked Prue.
"No I've got a better idea," Prue said concentrating and using her powers she lifted Phoebe and transported her upstairs with them to the attic, placing her on the couch up there when they reached it.
"Piper," Phoebe called out again.
"I'm here," Piper said sitting on the edge of the couch and taking Phoebes hand again.
"Ok, how about we take it in turns, you sit with her first and I'll look in the book, and then we'll switch," Prue said.
Piper nodded settling herself on the floor in front of Phoebe. Prue went to the book of shadows and began flipping the pages.
"Ugh, this is so frustrating," she thought to herself, "we don't' even know what we're looking for."
After an hour she had had enough. Prue looked at her watch, it was 3am
"Piper, do you want to switch now?" she asked looking up.
She smiled when she saw Piper with her head resting on the corner of the couch sleeping soundly.
Prue picked up the book and went over to sit next to her sisters. She gently pulled Pipers head so that she was leaning on Prue's shoulder instead of the couch.
As usual Piper was the first to wake the next morning. She frowned and even panicked for a second when she felt something obstructing the movement of her head, but then relaxed when she realized it was just Prue who had fallen asleep with her own head resting on Piper's.
Piper looked down at the Book of Shadows which was on the ground next to Prue having fallen out of hands. She tried to maneuver it towards her trying not to move too much. Finally she had inched it close enough for her to read what was on the page.
The title read 'Dolores the Demon of Pain' and had a large drawing of a particularly ugly demon that had dark blue skin and a face that looked as if it had been horribly burnt and was disfigured as a result.
"Prue," Piper whispered shaking her.
"No, Piper it's too early go away," Prue said not opening her eyes.
"No Prue, I think you might've found something about the demon," Piper said.
Prue's eyes opened at this and she sat up stretching.
"I don't remember finding anything," she said.
"Well when the book fell out of your hands it definitely fell to the right page, look," Piper said shoving the book into Prue's hands.
"Dolores, the Demon of Pain," Prue read.
"Ugh could you guys keep it down," Phoebe said from her place on the couch.
"Sorry Pheebs, but we think we've found the demon who is doing this to you," Prue replied.
"So be a dear and come join us on the floor," Piper said reaching up to tickle Phoebe.
Phoebe cried out as Piper tickled her.
"Piper, don't please it hurts," Phoebe said.
"What do you mean?" Piper asked concerned.
"I ache all over," was all Phoebe could say.
"I'm so sorry Pheebs I didn't no," Piper said.
"Ok, that's it. I want to know who this Dolores guy is and why he's doing this to us," Prue said looking down at the book again.
She read aloud to her sisters:
"Dolores the Demon of Pain feeds off the pain of witches in order to gain strength and return to the human world from the plane to which he was banished centuries ago."
