Fire and Demons part 3
Demons. Demons?
Sadly no one has reviewed; hopefully there is someone who reads this. Please review!
Read and enjoy this new, but rather late chapter. Busy in school you know.
"Cole, what's wrong?" Phoebe asked.
"She just looks like someone I used to know."
"I look like whom? Is that a magic book, Phoebe?"
"Yes, it is our Book of Shadows," Piper answered Maeve, "but would you like to develop what you said, Cole. 'Cause Maeve was attacked later, and we could use all the help we could get."
They all sat down in the living room, Leo and Cole standing behind.
"Well, she looks like one of the elite demons in the Underworld. Black was his name. But I haven't seen him in years."
Maeve felt a little shocked. She looked like a demon, and after all her last name was Black. Was there a connection?
"Just take it easy, Maeve." Prue said. "We will help you. Leo, can't you ask the Elders about all this, about Maeve, her mom and this Mr Black."
"Maybe you can see if you remember more about him, Cole." Phoebe fired off an appreciating smile at Cole.
"And you, Maeve will look through the Book of Shadows and hopefully find the demon. Otherwise you can ask our resident demon expert."
Prue said to Maeve and gave her the big book. Leo orbed away and everyone except for Prue left Maeve in the room. For Maeve it seemed like she just sat there for hours and flipped through the books pages. It contained many hideous monsters and demons, but not a single one that looked like the one who attacked her. Until she came to the end, there it was, a Nanorgón. The text said that it is a servant to upper-level demons and attacks with its gruesome claws. But it was a vanquishing potion at the bottom of the page.
"Prue, I've found it. There's a potion to mix, maybe I can help with that. Unless I'm a badass demon that is."
"Of course you're not. Then you wouldn't have been able to sit here and flip through the book. It recognises good guys and bad guys."
"That's a comfort. Should we mix the potion?"
They got up from the couch and went into the kitchen with a note with the ingredients. In the kitchen the others were talking.
"Piper, will you help Maeve with the potion against the Nanorgón."
Piper showed Maeve where she could find the stuff and started to help her brewing it.
"But who sent it? I could always check the Underworld."
Cole looked slightly enthusiastic at the thought of doing something for a change.
"No you won't, Cole. I don't want you to get caught." Phoebe said with a look at Cole that only could mean that she was serious. "We'll mix the potion, vanquish the demon and wait for Leo before you rush away."
After the potion was ready, they started to prepare for the attack.
"Maeve, you stay at the back. We will take care of it. Don't run away from us, or we can't protect you." Prue told her. "Take a potion, just in case."
And the waiting began. Was this the way to defeat the dark threat of demons? Sitting around and wait? But short after the demon actually came. All of the sudden it stood in the Halliwell hallway. Piper froze it and Phoebe threw the potion. It vanished in screams and smoke. Another one appeared behind them, but Maeve threw her potion and also this one was vanquished.
"Wow, was that all? Hah, in your face, you ugly demon!"
The adrenaline was pumping in Maeve; she felt that she could vanquish a hundred more demons. Phoebe put a hand on Maeve's shoulder.
"Well done, Maeve. Are you alright?"
"Sure, I'm fine. When will Leo come?"
"Hopefully soon. Leo? Leo?"
Piper called out, but no Leo showed up.
"Maybe he isn't ready yet. I could make some dinner for you. And maybe the others can stop by your house and pick the box you mentioned. You shouldn't leave the house until we know more."
"I live on 1725 Hyde Street, the room by the small entrance. My foster parents are out of town."
Maeve gave them her key and Prue, Phoebe and Cole left the house. Again Maeve found herself in the kitchen. They were eating and talking about this and that when Leo came back. He had a grave look on his face and looked straight on Maeve.
What news have Leo brought down from the Elders? Is there some news in the box? Answers to this in the next exiting chapter of "Fire and Demons"
