Chapter 14:
As Phoebe and Leo walked into the attic, Paige looked up expectantly from the Book of Shadows. Giving her a small nod, Phoebe asked, "Did you guys find the vanquishing spell yet?" Looking up from the book Piper replied, "Yes we found the spell. We also found out that once we summon him, we have to be careful not to get within his arm reach or he can easily shimmer away with one of us to use as blackmail." "Alright Piper, we'll be careful. Can I see the spell?" Phoebe asked as she reached for the paper Piper had been writing on. "Here you go Phoebe. That's the spell to vanquish him. I can do the summoning spell on my own." Phoebe read over the vanquishing spell while Piper got ready to summon Golierth.
In this place that we call home
Demons are not free to roam
Young witches powers are no longer for thee
Banish Golierth as we hereby decree
"Okay Piper, I'm ready to read the spell" Phoebe said after she had read it over a couple of times. "Good then I'll summon him." Piper said as she read the summoning spell:
Golierth whose evils sour
We call you here in this hour
Obey the calls of the witches three
Enter here we summon thee
As Piper finished the spell, the demon Golierth appeared. "You're just as ugly as I remember" Piper snidely remarked. Looking around and seeing the Book of Shadows lying open, Golierth laughed, "Surely you witches cannot think to vanquish me!" "And why not?" Paige spat "Because," Golierth smoothly replied as he waved his hand and Piper flew towards him, "I have something dear to you and I doubt you would be willing to kill her in order to vanquish me." Flailing and trying to get loose of the demon's grip Piper spat, "No matter what you do, you will never get my baby!" The demon looked at her oddly for a moment and then laughed, "Oh this is good, too good." Smirking at Leo he continued, "Perhaps your husband can convince the mother to give up the baby." Glaring at him Piper said, "Leo would never try to make me give up the baby and I just told you that I never would." Still smirking Golierth looked down at Piper and said, "I guess you're right, why would Leo want to give up his daughter? Yet he did say that he loved you best didn't he." "He loves our baby and me all the same, and you'll never have either of us!" Piper yelled. Finally dropping his smirk Golierth spat, "I grow weary of your prattle witch!" As he said this he waved his hand and Piper fell unconsciously to the ground.
"Piper!" Phoebe yelled as she stepped towards her. "Ah, Ah, Ah" Golierth scolded as he wagged his finger at Phoebe and with his other hand made Piper disappear. Then turning back to Phoebe, he said "We've been a bad girl, haven't we Phoebe? We really shouldn't keep secrets" "What have you done with her!" Leo growled. Turning to Leo he said, "Why Leo, you're the place where this whole mess started aren't you? Maybe if you had told Piper the truth before trying to vanquish me, she wouldn't be lying somewhere in my regions of hell. But I guess it's too late to tell…" Paige angrily interrupted him and said, "He was going to tell her, you just didn't give them time!"
Glancing over at Paige he said, "Perhaps you're right. Then again," Golierth said as he turned back to Leo, "You must have really enjoyed that spell. I mean you can't seem to have kids with your wife, but the moment you start screwing her sister… Tell me, you still think of Phoebe when you're lying in bed at night, don't you? You wish that it could have gone on forever, the steamy nights and romantic outings, but then you wake up and all you have is meek, uninteresting Piper. In a way, I did you a favor. Now you can have your family and your steamy nights with the woman you truly yearn for." "SHUT UP!" Leo yelled, "You have no idea what I feel!" "Maybe I'm wrong, but all the same, you have a decision to make. I'll be waiting." As Golierth turned to leave, he looked back over towards Leo and whispered, "You know, Piper is rather pretty, those silky locks and fair skin. Perhaps we can have some fun together until you decide." "I'll kill you, you scum!" Phoebe yelled as she ran towards him, but he disappeared before she could reach him.
