"Dex?" Phoebe said opening the door to Dex's apartment. He was nowhere in sight, but she let herself in with the key Dex gave her after they got married. Phoebe set her keys down, touching the counter top and was flashed into a premonition:
Dex was walking down a dark alleyway. He was calling someone named
Claire. Out of the shadows, a demon with a long scar across his entire right
eye jumped out and put his knife-sharp nails to Dex's throat and said in a
deep scraggly voice, "Where's Claire."
And just as quick as it came the premonition was gone. Phoebe gasped at what she just saw. She pecked up her keys and went out the door. When she got to the elevator the doors opened and Dex walked out.
"Phoebe," Dex said, "What are you doing here?"
"It doesn't matter anymore," Phoebe said a little shaken, "We gotta go."
"What?" Dex was confused, "Where do we gotta go?"
"To the manor. I gotta talk to my sisters," Phoebe said trying to pull him into the elevator with her, but he pulled away.
"Well, I have some work to do so you can go and I'll stay here," Dex said starting to walk away but Phoebe grabbed him.
"Dex!" Phoebe shouted and then brought her voice to a whisper, "I had a premonition that a demon would try to kill you, so we have to go now and talk to my sisters."
The car ride to the manor was very tense especially with Dex asking the same questions over and over again.
"What did he look like?" Dex asked for the third time.
"Dex, I told you, he had a scar across his right eye," Phoebe said with a sigh, "Are you sure you are gonna be OK?"
"Well I was OK, but then again I just found out I might be killed by a demon," Dex said, "So why are you all calm whin your husband could die and leave your child fatherless?"
"Well, stuff like this happens a lot around here or I mean," Phoebe sighed because she had confused herself as well as Dex, "What I mean is that I have had a lot of visions of people dying and I'm just glad my vision wasn't like that and besides we can still get you out of this."
"That really helps," Dex said saracasticly as they pulled up to the manor.
"Piper! Paige! Get yourselves down here now!" Phoebe shouted as she opened the doors the manor.
"What is all the shouting for," Paige said with Billy and Piper behind her.
"First we need to talk, but we can do that while I'm looking through the 'Book of Shadows'," Phoebe said rushing up stairs with Dex following.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Phoebe, what happened and why is he here," Piper said referring to Dex.
"He has a name," Dex said.
"Sorry," Piper muttered as she rolled her eyes but began to chase them up the stairs. As they reached the attic Phoebe began to tell them about her vision.
"Dex was looking for someone named Claire," Phoebe said turning to Dex.
"WHAT!" Piper and Paige said in unison.
"How dare you two-time my sister," Paige said walking towards Dex.
"Hey! Wait! I don't even know anyone named Claire," Dex said tripping over a box of white candles.
"You guys! First, we need to find the demon and then if he is two-timing me and only if, you can do whatever you want with him," Phoebe said with her hands on her hips.
"Phoebe!" Dex cried still sitting on the floor.
"Let's back up here. Demon?" Piper said, "Phoebe you know you're in no condition to fight a demon."
"That's why I was hoping you could," Phoebe said with a slight smile, "and I don't think the demon was after Dex. He said ' Where's Claire."
"What did he look like," Piper said with a sigh. She knew she would regret it.
"He had a scar across his right eye and his nails," Phoebe trailed off with a horrified look on her face, "They were sharper than knifes."
Paige was already flipping through the pages of the 'Book of Shadows' looking for the description Phoebe gave them.
"Got 'em," Paige exclaimed, "Is this him?" she asked Phoebe pointing to a picture in 'The Book'.
"Yeah, that's him," Phoebe said staring at the picture.
"The Name-Less One?" Paige said, "What kinda name is that?"
"It says here that he prays on young powerful witches," Piper said, "And if he doesn't consume enough power by Friday the thirteenth he will vanquish."
"Well when is Friday the thirteenth?" Phoebe asked.
"Next Friday, but we have a problem,"Paige said with a worried look on her face.
"What is it?" Piper said as she walked over to the book.
"We need the power of three to vanquish this demon," Paige said.
"So what's the problem," Phoebe asked.
"Phoebe! You know you that you can't do this," Piper said raising her tone, "Your child will be the daughter of a charmed one and if that isn't powerful then I don't know what is. So that makes you and your future daughter at risk. It's decided. You can't fight this demon."
"Piper! Claire in my vision might be a young girl and if we don't vanquish this demon then we don't know what could happen to her," Phoebe said, " Piper we have to do something."
