"Leo!" Phoebe yelled, looking up at the ceiling as if to direct her voice up to Elder land. Within a minute or so, Leo was there in the kitchen with her.
"We have an innocent to protect." Phoebe said quickly, "She's in the parlour."
The two walked to where Mary was still sitting on the couch, now reading an issue of Cosmopolitan that she had found sitting on a side table.
"Hey, I'm Leo." Leo said, "It's all gonna be okay."
"Hi," Mary sniffled, "My name's Mary. My family were murdered by demons last night." She fluttered her eyelids, to highlight her dazzling blue eyes as she pushed her long flowing hair from covering her delicately featured face.
"Mary, how did the demons that attacked know your family?" Phoebe asked, curious about this girl's past.
"My family are witches, we have no special power passed down the line, but we can do spells and stuff." Mary responded, "I'm the only witch in my family to have an active Power since the witch trials."
"Really?" said Phoebe, now intrigued, "What is your Power?"
The conversation was interrupted by Paige and Piper coming in from the foyer.
"I came as fast as I could," Paige said to announce her arrival, "What's going on?"
"This girl's family was killed by demons. Piper? Anything in the Book on demons that wipe out witch families?" Phoebe began to fill Paige in.
"Not really," Piper responded, "But can you fill Paige in and meet me in the kitchen? I need to talk to you about something."
Piper went up to the attic and carried the Book of Shadows down into the kitchen. The Book was the source of the girls' Powers, and was full of the knowledge of their ancestors. It had come in handy at many an occasion at helping the girls vanquish demons.
Piper arrived in the kitchen as Phoebe finished filling Paige in about the situation,
"So what is it?" Phoebe began to ask, but Leo yelling from the parlour disturbed their little gathering.
"Piper! Paige! Phoebe!" he yelled, and they went running in to find that five demons had just entered and a sixth was shimmering in as they entered. The demons surrounded Mary, but as they aimed their fireballs and threw, a blast went flying out from Mary, knocking the sisters out and vanquishing the demons that surrounded her.
After the blast, Mary was the only one standing in the room. As a matter of fact, she was the only person in the room at all. She walked into the empty kitchen and grabbed the Book of Shadows, before walking down into the basement.
