Chapter Six

Witch blade

"Can you sense Jessica and Lea?" Prue asked turning to DJ. "I'll try. I'm still new at this you know." DJ answered as she put her fingers on her temples to concentrate. She focused all her thoughts on finding

Jessica and her mom. "They're here in the manor...There...coming. in...the...Living room!" DJ shook her head as Jessica and her mom walked in. "Ugh know duh!" Prue shouted jumping up. Piper, Phoebe

and DJ jumped up beside her. When DJ jumped up she was hit with a sudden dizziness and fell onto the couch. "Dej!" Phoebe looked toward her concerned. "I'm fine...Just give me a minute." DJ answered

holding her head in her hands. "You always were a wimp Danielle." Jessica quipped. DJ still felt like the whole room was spinning, but through it she snapped her fingers calling Prince into action. He leapt

forward. Jessica reached into her pocket and pulled out a knife similar to a switchblade and flung it at him. He grabbed it in his teeth. Piper quickly threw up her hands freezing Jessica and Lea. She also froze

DJ. "What do we do now we can't vanquish them?" Piper replied. "Just keep them frozen till Darryl gets here." Prue answered just as car pulled into the driveway. Seconds later there was a knock at the

door. "Prue are you guys ok!" Darryl shouted. Prue waved her hand at the door opening it. Darryl walked in to see Jessica and Lea frozen. "To answer your question. We're fine...If you call having an enraged

bartender and her daughter trying kill you fine!" Prue answered. "Right, sorry I asked." Darryl looked toward the couch. "What's up with DJ?" He asked. The girls looked at the couch. "She's frozen!"

Phoebe looked at DJ open mouthed. "Piper try to unfreeze her." Prue suggested. Piper focused her energy on DJ... and DJ blinked. Her sister sighed with relief. "What happened?" DJ asked confused.

"That's what we'd like to know. Normally good witches don't freeze." Phoebe replied just as confused as DJ. Leo spoke. "That power DJ absorbed is not only an upper level demonic power it was...One

of the Source's!" The girl's mouths dropped in disbelief. "What! " Prue, Piper, and Phoebe said in unison. "How did she get his power?" Prue asked. "It's part of the Source's grand plan. He wanted the

power to consume her...to turn her evil. But because she has white lighter powers it tweaked it, sending her underground." DJ looked at Leo and remarked. "Right!" As she spoke she waved her head

over her head. Her sisters smiled. But the humor was cut short as Lea and Jessica began to unfreeze. Piper raised her hands refreezing them. Phoebe glanced at DJ who was once again frozen. "What is up

with her freezing?" Leo shrugged. "Go see what the elders say about it." Prue said crouching down by the couch. DJ blinked. "Wait look at DJ's eyes!" Cole snapped. Leo, Darryl and the girls turned to

face DJ just as her eyes flashed black like that of a demon. Piper started to speak when DJ simmered out. "What is going on!" Prue shouted so loud Shiloh whined. "Calm down, Prue, shouting isn't going

to bring DJ back." Darryl replied. Prue took a deep breath to calm her nerves. Meanwhile underground demons had surrounded DJ, to keep her from bolting like she had before. As she looked

desperately for a way out, the shadowy figure of the Source entered. "Why do you keep summoning me? I am not gonna serve you!" DJ said as she spat at the Source's feet. The Source cringed, "Learn to

speak like you've got some sense." "Don't talk, like you know me, 'cause you don't!" DJ snapped angrily at the Source. The Source growled in a low voice. "Listen, witch, first off I didn't summon you!

Second off your just a trap for you're sisters, you're know use to me. You haven't any powers." DJ glared at the Source with eyes that burned like fire and spoke anger and fear hung on her every word. "If

you try to hurt my sister you'll be sorry!" DJ took on a fighting stance she learned in karate. The Source laughed. "Oh I'm scared! Please don't hurt me... What do you're think your going to do vanquish

me?" "Yhea, why not!" DJ snapped. "Because you aren't strong enough!" The Source snapped back. "I've had enough of you." The Source spoke as he formed an energy ball in his hands and prepared to

hurl it at DJ. She ducked just in time. It missed her and nailed Drakin in the chest. He doubled and cried out in agony. The Source shook his head then hurled another energy ball. This time DJ didn't duck in

time and was nailed hard in the chest herself. She fell to the ground in pain. It was so intense she could hardly breathe. The Source allowed her a moment to compose herself then powered up another energy

ball. Just as he started to throw it DJ's hands shot up and fire shot from them like water from a hose. The Source held his hand out absorbing the power. DJ continued to hurl fire at the Source, unaware what

she was doing. "Feel's good doesn't it? Or more precisely evil." The Source asked as DJ's hands hit the ground. The flames had drained her completely; she could hardly hold up her head. The Source

laughed monotonously. He walked over placed his hands over DJ's back drawing the power out completely; then turned toward two large muscular demon. "Take her home. The rest of you leave me I need

a word with Drakin!" Drakin who was still stunned by the energy ball cringed when the Source said his name. Seconds later at the Halliwell manor the two muscular demons shimmered in and deposited DJ on

the floor of the living room in a heap. Cole, and the girls leapt up ready to fight. But the two demons shimmered out before they got hurt. The girls knelt down next to DJ extremely concerned. Phoebe rolled

DJ, over and placed her ear to chest to see if she had a heartbeat. "Her hearts not beating..." Phoebe said shakily. Leo immediately bent down beside DJ holding his hands out over her. "Leo is she. . . she.."

Before Piper could get the words out their mother appeared. "Mom!" Prue, Piper and Phoebe asked in unison. "It's ok babies. She's not dead." Patty answered. She knelt down beside Leo. "Move over

some will you?" She asked. "Yeah sure." Leo replied getting up. Just as he reached his feet Jessica and Lea unfreeze. "What the heck!" Jessica and Lea shouted in unison. They stared wide eyed at the

figure on the floor next to DJ. "P..Piper who's that?" Lea stammered. "That's my mother." Piper replied. "But she's .." Piper interrupted Lea before she cold finish, "She's dead. She comes to help us when

we need it. Now can it! Before I accidentally blow you up!" Lea backed up, scarcely breathed for fear of pissing anyone off. Patty put one hand over DJ's mouth and nose and the other she moves along

DJ's chest. Prince walked forward and licked DJ's face, while Shiloh barked shrilly. Patty glared at Shiloh, who backs off into Jessica who jumped in surprise. When the commotion died down Patty moves

DJ into sitting position and with the heel of her hand hit DJ in the small of her back. "No, you're supposed to be dead!" Jessica shouted at DJ as she began to coughed and gasped for breath. Shiloh barked

shrilly and began licking DJ's face. Patty moved her out of the way so DJ could catch her breath. After a few minutes DJ's sisters crowed around her glad she was ok. Lea swallowed then spoke. "P..Piper

are you going to hurt us?" Prue glared at her. "Give us one good reason why we shouldn't." Lea swallowed again and answered. "We won't say anything to anyone. We swear." "Yeah, Whatever." Prue

remarked then turned to Leo. "Go get some Memory Dust." Leo answered. "Prue you know I hate using that stuff." "Would you rather they expose us as witches?" Prue replied sarcastically. "No." With

that Leo orbed out for the dust. "We're really sorry we caused all this trouble." Lea said sincerely. "Yeah, well I'm not!" Jessica said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a knife. She hurled it at

Prue. Piper froze it just inches away form Prue's face. "Thanks." Prue replied relieved. DJ had gained enough strength, that she could pull herself up. She held to Prue's shoulder to help support her weight.

She then stretched out her hand so she could just reach the knife. She held it in her hand turning it over and over. "It's a 'witch blade." She said matter-of-factly. "A what?" Prue, Piper and Phoebe asked at

once. "It's a 'witch blade. I read about it at school. It can kill witches in an instant. Also it's like a boomerang it returns to the thrower." Jessica smirked and replied, "What a clever little white witch." "What

are you talking about?" Lea asked. Jessica laughed. "I can't believe you haven't figured it out yet." "Figured what out?" Jessica smiled and answered "I'm a demon. Sent by the Source to kill DJ and her

pathetic sisters!" Lea stared open mouthed at Jessica. "You're a...What?" "I'm a demon!" "You. What...how?" Lea stammered Jessica laughed. "You are so naive. I made a deal with the Source after

Witches killed dad!" She cast a wayward glance at DJ and her sisters. "The Source wants them dead." She said pointing toward the Halliwells. "They're a threat to his master plan! That ghost thing came

screw everything up." Leo orbed in with the Memory Dust. DJ held tightly to Prue's shoulder to support herself. "I've had enough!" DJ shouted, "of you constantly threatening' me!" Jessica laughed. "So

what are ya gonna do about it?" The truth of the matter DJ had no idea what she was going to do about it. She didn't have any powers. She had the ability to orb. She didn't know how to but even if she did.

What good would it do here, now?
