Chapter Five
The Source of all Evil
"What the hell? Where did she go?" Piper asked bewildered. "Underground." Cole answered mater of factly. "Don't just stand there; find her!" Piper shouted. Cole shimmered out.
She then turned Leo. "You go orb!" Leo orbed out in a flash of blue light. "What did Drakin say?" She asked turning to her sisters. "Something about Fate, Destiny and Future." Prue
answered, still trying to keep in control of her emotions. "You'd think it enough that we have to deal with a serial witch killer and DJ being stalked by a demon! But NO! We have to
stop her from turning evil!" Phoebe snapped frustration evident in her voice. Five minutes later DJ appeared. She was flushed and shaking. Prue, Piper and Phoebe turned to face
her, unsure if it was a trick. But when they looked into DJ's baby blue eyes they knew it was her; and embraced her. "Dang, I was only gone like five minutes." She said as her sisters
hugged her glad that she was safe. They ended the reunion and DJ's sisters began asking questions, Prince meanwhile sat on the floor with Shiloh beside him patiently waiting his turn.
Shiloh on the other hand wanted attention right then! She put her paws on DJ's leg and began to whine. DJ immediately bent to pick her up. "What is it Shi? You miss me?" She
kissed her on the nose then looked at Prince who was still waiting quietly for his turn. "Come here ya big lummox. You don't have to act so grown up. You're only four!" DJ said in a
strong ascent. Prince hesitated a second then walked toward her. She put Shiloh down and bent to pet Prince. He licked her face and whined like a pup, happy to see it's owner.
Prince then looked at DJ with a don't ever leave me like that again look. DJ and her sisters smiled as they headed down stairs with Prince and Shiloh close behind. Down stairs they
sat on the couch with DJ in the thick of it. The doorbell rang. "Great!" Prue snapped. Shiloh barked, while Prince just laid down at DJ's feet. Prue opened the door. It was her boss
Greg. "I brought your work." He said. "Oh, thanks." Prue answered reaching for the folder. "How's your sister?" Greg asked. "She's ok, still a little under the weather." Prue
answered. Greg looked over toward the couch at DJ. She waved. He waved back. "Anyway, just get that to me when you can." He said turning back to Prue. "Ok, will do." Prue
replied. "Well, nice meeting you DJ, see you at work Prue. Later." Greg said as he walked out the door and down the steps to his car, a white Chevrolet Malibu. "That guy can
talk!" DJ said as Prue sat back down on the couch. "So what was it like underground? Prue asked. "It was ok, Drakin is pissed and the source is ugly!" DJ answered. "Wait you saw
the Source!" Phoebe asked shocked. "Yhea. Half his face is all scared and the other half is normal." DJ replied. "No big!" "Actually that is a big deal the Source never shows his face.
. . to anyone!" Piper remarked. "He said the same thing Drakin did. You know the whole destiny fate future thing." DJ continued. "But what's it suppose to mean?" Phoebe asked "It
means." Cole answered. They girls jumped at his voice. Cole shook his head and went on. "It means Fate will cause her to fall into the hands of evil. Destiny will destroy her. The
Future will prove to be far worse..." Cole stopped, not elaborating Leo orbed in and spoke where Cole had left off. "Thing won't be easy. The Source will stop at nothing to have DJ
dead." The girls shared a look then Piper spoke. "Leo, this is to much. We've got a serial witch killer on our butts. A demon haunting DJ. Not to mention the fact that the Source
wants her DEAD!" DJ started to speak when the phone rang. Prue started to get up for it but DJ motioned for her to wait. DJ snapped her fingers waking her dogs. "Prince get the
phone." He stood up and walked over to the phone picked it up and brought it over to Prue. "Good boy." She said as she took the phone and pressed talk. "We've got a problem."
It was Darryl "What is it?" Prue asked. "That girl's mother waltzed in her with a knife and busted Jessica out!" "What?" Prue shouted. Darryl cringed at the sharpness in her voice then
spoke. "Ten minutes ago." When Prue didn't reply he went on. "It gets worse. The hit list.. you guys are next." That got a rise out of her. "What!" She shouted again. "Listen, Prue I'm
on my way there right now. I'll be there in a few minutes." "Alright hurry." Prue replied fear slightly evident in her voice. "I'm just pulling onto..."Darryl's voice cut off. "Darryl? Darryl!"
Prue shouted into the phone but all she could hear was deep tone as if the line had been cut. Prue turned off the phone. Shiloh was up sniffing deeply. Prue felt her sister's eyes.
"What happened?" Phoebe asked. Before Prue could answer Prince shot straight up and growled deep in his throat. The manor was eerily quiet. The only sounds were the tick tock
of the grandfather clock and the deep angry growl of Prince.
