"Piper?" Phoebe asked lightly Piper bit her lip nervously Leo fixed her with a hard stare she chewed at the skin on her lip trying to think up something scratch that Anything to tell them
"Look I just, she" Piper sighed and defensivly folded her arms she met Phoebes and Leo's eyes and the accusing stare
"I caught her Packing she was so upset I just wanted her to tell me what was wrong oh god! I should have stopped her!" Piper's eyes filled with tears as the weight of carrying around where Paige really was lifted slightly Phoebe stepped unsure towards her sister and hugged her
"We didn't talk about where she was going and I didn't wanna push her for anything she just kept telling me she had to go that she had to get away she was so frightened I drove her to the airport she had tickets and everything she swore to me she'd get in touch tell me what was going on I was gonna wait until then to tell you" Piper whispered the last bit "here goes" Piper thought "She's gunna be so hurt that I didn't tell her" Piper groaned to herself
"Why didn't she tell me?" Phoebe asked Piper shrugged
"I'm more concerned with why the Elders can't sense her" Leo asked he eyed Piper as if she was some sort of alian
"She's cloaked herself from magical beings" Piper replied instantly
"Have you spoke to her since she left?" he asked Piper shook her head instinctively
The doorbell rang downstairs
"I'll get that you two try to summon her again or something" Leo told them he jogged down the stairs and pulled open the door to see a tall dark haired stranger his eyes where open and friendly yet they were watching everything and searching
"Can I help?" Leo asked for some unknown reason he felt slightly uneasy
"Yeah Does Paige livehere?" he asked Leo nodded
"She's not here right now though shall I tell her you called?" Leo asked The guy nodded slowly
"Brody Agent Brody" he replied he held out his hand to Leo who took it
"Leo, Did you say Agent?" Leo asked after the death of Prue the sisters had always been slightly uncomfortable around the police or any form of detectives
"Yeah I work at the F.B.I" Brody Replied
"Is Paige in trouble?" Phoebe asked appearing at Leo's side Brody glanced Phoebe up and down not in a suspicious manner but almost as if it was how he read people and chose his reactions
"I'm uh Not sure yet" he chewed his gum slowly nodding slightly as if confirming to himself that was right
"Ok Well do you wanna leave a number or something and we'll get back to you?" Phoebe asked Brody smiled and nodded carefully again he scribbled down a number and handed it to Phoebe she shoved it into her pocket and smiled back
"Bye!" she waved and shut the door watching through the peephole until he'd left
"What ws all that about?" Leo asked
"Piper's summoning Paige she wanted to talk to her alone before she tells her that we know she hasn't been kidnapped" Phoebe jumped as the doorbell rang again she pulled it open
"Post" the mailman smiled brightly Phoebe took it and shut the door without thanking him
"Bills,Bills,Junk,Bills Oh hello letter from Australia for Piper" she told Leo but he wasn't listening instead he was staring at the rather large and hulking demon stood beside them
"Crap!" Phoebe moaned
Piper pinched her leg as she saw her sister begin to appear smiling
"Hey!" she grinned
"Hi" Piper replied she pointed at the door and Paige noted that it had been locked from the inside she raced over to the wicca couch and collapsed onto it sighing
"Good to be home" she stated
"Why aren't you" Piper joined her sitting on one of the many old chests
"I just I can't" Paige sighed
Piper reached out placing one hand on either side of her sisters shoulders
"Why? Look Paige the doors locked it's just me and you that's all just tell me" she said firmly
"Alright but your not gonna like it" Paige relented a bit thinking of how to phrase the answers "I'm Being hunted"
"LEOOOO!" Phoebe Wailed as her brother in law was flung clear across the room Phoebe concentrated hard and levitated into the air and flew across landing punchs and kicks with no avail the demon simply flicked her into the wall then pinned her there
"All I want is your sister, Paige!" he growled Phoebe sighed "don't we all" she thought idly Leo grabbed the demon around the back and Phoebe continued her livetate and kick from before
The demon roared angrily and shimmered away Phoebe settled back to the ground breathing hevily
"You ok?" Leo asked Phoebe nodded "I think so"
"By who?" Piper paced the room and then sat back down she couldn't figure it out, they'd all been hunted before and they'd ALWAYS managed to figure out how to kill whoever or whatever was hunting them. What was different?
"I don't know his real name but either he's half demon or he can morph whichever anyway I met him at that temp agency he seemed, normal" Paige fixed Piper with a helpless stare
"and?" Piper promted
"Piper! I know you wanted to be left alone but this is serious"
"Phoebe I'll be down In a sec" Piper shouted back her eyes didn't leave Paiges
"Did you tell her?" Paige asked quietly "Does Leo know?" she added
"Paige!" Phoebe shouted she pushed the door but the bolt stayed firmly in place Piper nodded slowly Paige's eyes widened and she looked terrified
"Piper I told you in privete!" she pleaded Phoebe was kicking the door now
"Piper! Paige its important!" she shouted her voice sounding frightened and confused Paige began to orb the last she heard was Piper's voice
"Paige! Wait!" but she'd already left as the last trails of orbs disappeared Phoebe collapsed through the door at a furious piper's feet
