Chapter Three

"Okay, now put the mandrake root in," Piper ordered, stirring the potion that she and her future daughter were making whilst Phoenix and Paisley came up with a spell to get into the Halliwell Manor which had been taken over by demons and was protected against good magic.

Payton dropped the mandrake root in and Piper continued to stir. She couldn't help staring at the teenager as she did so.

"What?" Payton asked self consciously, noticing that Piper kept looking at her. Her mother smiled softly.

"You're so beautiful, you know?" The time-freezing witch said quietly. Payton blushed. Secretly, she missed hearing her mother say that. Payton had gone through life thinking that she was ugly but her mother had always told her that she was beautiful. It was nice to hear her say it again.

"You always used to say that to me," Payton muttered, a sad smile on her face. Piper took her hand and squeezed it.

"When we've vanquished Cole and I go back I'll do everything I can to stop him turning evil," She said firmly. "Now we need some of his flesh. Have you managed to get any?" Payton shook her head. Trying not to seem disappointed, Piper turned to her nieces and yelled, "How's the spell coming along?"

"It's done!" Paisley said, coming over to them. "Okay, everybody hold hands." The four Halliwells held hands as Paisley chanted, "Magic forces black and white, reaching out through space and light, take us to where evil dwells, back to the home of the Halliwells." In a swirl of lights they disappeared and reappeared in their family home to find it swarming with demons.

"WITCHES!" One yelled, hurling an energy ball at them. Paisley quickly held out her hands and yelled, "FORCEFIELD!" A forcefield of orbs appeared, surrounded the Halliwells, causing the energy ball to bounce off and fly back at the demon, vanquishing him instantly.

"Okay, Belthazor is protected by the best demon guards," Paisley said. "We'll have to fight our way to him or die trying."

"Gee, Paisley ya really know how to make us feel better!" Payton joked half-seriously. Phoenix rolled her eyes as Paisley continued to keep the forcefield up. After a few minutes of demons throwing energy balls at it, the forcefield began to falter and fell down.

"Okay, I've had enough of this!" Piper snapped and froze the room. "Okay, this won't last long so let's do some serious house cleaning!" Phoenix laughed and a stream of fire shot out of her hands, spreading through the demons, vanquishing them all.

"Living room clear!" She said cheerfully and strode confidently into the next room. "Okay, who wants to fight me?" She teased the demons. Most of them shimmered out, but some remained loyal and stayed to fight.

"Big mistake," Payton said, her eyes flashing dangerously. A bolt of electricity shot out of her hand and hit one demon, causing him to explode. The remaining three demons glanced at each other fearfully.

"Tell us where Belthazor is," Paisley said, her voice as hard as steel.

"Right here."

The four Halliwells spun around to see Cole Turner enter the room. He nodded to the demons and they shimmered out.

"Father," Phoenix spat. Cole smiled and turned into Belthazor.

"I don't want to kill you, Phoenix," He growled. "I want you to join me. You're evil, Phoenix. It's inside of you and it's who you are. Join me." Phoenix clenched her fists and stared at him spitefully.

"NO!" She yelled. Quickly, Phoenix pulled the athame out of her belt and shimmered over to her father. With lightning fast speed, she stabbed him in the stomach, causing him to fall to the ground, turning him back into his human form. He cried out in pain as his own daughter sliced a chunk of flesh from his arm. She stared at him, her eyes burning with hatred.

"You bastard," She hissed. "I am nothing like you." Wordlessly, she walked over to her cousin and aunt and shimmered them out, leaving the mighty Belthazor lying, bleeding, on the floor.

"Okay what the hell was that about?" Piper practically shouted as they arrived back at what was left of her once successful club. Phoenix shrugged and made her way over to the unfinished potion, clutching the Belthazor flesh so tightly in her hand that his blood was oozing out and trickling down her wrists. Payton grimaced as Phoenix, taking a step back, added to flesh to the potion. There was a large poof indicating that the potion was complete.

Silently, Phoenix poured the potion into four vials and handed them to her cousins and aunt. "Back up," She told them, grabbing her own. "Now, let's bring Daddy Dearest here." Putting on a brave face, she said, "Magic forces black and white, reaching out through space and light, be he far or be he near, bring us the demon Belthazor here." In an explosion of lights, Cole appeared before them. Phoenix held up the potion threateningly. Cole spread out his arms mockingly.

"Don't I even get a hug?" He asked, grinning evilly. "You won't do it, Phoenix. I know you can't." Phoenix began to lower her arm, loosing determination. Cole smirked. Phoenix shook her head angrily.

"No!" She yelled. "I won't let you win! I hate you, you bastard! I hope you rot in hell!" Before he could say another word, Phoenix hurled the potion at her father, hitting him squarely in the chest. Cole looked into his daughter's cold blue eyes, the same as his own, as flames erupted around him.

"I'll always love you," He told her before exploding into nothingness. Phoenix watched emotionlessly as her father disappeared forever. Paisley pulled her into a hug and Piper's heart filled with sadness as her niece sobbed her heart out. Payton caught her mother's eye and walked over, holding out a vial full of a pink liquid.

"Here," She said quietly, handing Piper the potion. "Drink it. It will take you back to your time." Piper nodded and embraced her daughter, inhaling her sweet flowery smell.

"I love you," Piper told her daughter. Taking a deep breath, she gulped down the potion and the last thing she saw was Payton's face before she returned to her own time.

Piper gasped when she saw the state of the manor. The place was wrecked! "PRUE, PAIGE, PHOEBE!" She yelled, running into the sunroom. She screamed when she saw Prue lying on the floor, a deep cut etched into her face, blood trickling out of the corner of her mouth. Next to her lay an unconscious Paige who looked like she'd just been knocked out.

"Omigod, Prue!" Piper exclaimed, running to her sister's side. She checked her pulse to find that she was barely breathing. "Oh god!" She cried. "We didn't get you back just to loose you! LEO! LEO, GET YOUR BUTT HERE NOW!" But he didn't come. "LEO!" No swirling orbs. Instead she heard the door open and Phoebe yelling, "Piper! Cole's disappeared!" The empathic witch ran into the sunroom to see Piper sobbing on the floor next to Prue and Paige's bodies. "What happened?" Phoebe cried, kneeling down next to Piper and wrapping her arms around her shaking body. "I-I don't know! Paige is unconscious, but Prue is seriously hurt and Leo isn't answering my calls! I think something terrible has happened, Phoebe!" Tears prickling her eyes, Phoebe took Prue's cold hand and was instantly sucked into a premonition.

Premonition

A beautiful blonde demoness shimmers into the manor where Prue and Paige are talking with Leo. Prue tries to use telekinesis on the demoness but she deflects it. She pulls out a circular spiked blade and throws it at Prue, slicing her face and knocking her down onto the floor. Leo runs to Prue's side to heal her but the demoness spreads out her fingers and Leo explodes in a flurry of orbs. Paige orbs the spiked blade at the demoness, but she raises one finger and the orbs stop and fly back at Paige, who orbs out and back in next to Prue. Demoness throws potion at Paige's feet and mist surrounds her. She drops to the ground, unconscious. Smirking, the demoness shimmers out.

End of premonition

Phoebe gasped as her vision returned to normal. She couldn't breathe. The vision had been so real. She could still feel Prue's pain as the blade sliced her face.

"What did you see?" Piper asked with concern.

"Demoness…S-She deflected Prue's powers and threw this blade at her and sliced her face…a-and then she blew Leo up a-and threw this potion at P-Paige that knocked h-her out and I think s-she's taking C-Cole as well," Phoebe choked out.

"Kyle," Piper whispered. Phoebe frowned.

"What?" She asked.

"KYLE!" Piper screamed. "KYLE, PRUE AND PAIGE ARE HURT!" In a flurry of orbs, Kyle appeared next to the Charmed Ones.

"What happened?" Kyle exclaimed as he bent down and started to heal Prue. Phoebe's eyes widened. "Kyle?" She gasped. "But you're dead!" Kyle gave his cute grin and continued to heal Prue.

"Whitelighter," He answered as Prue's wound finally disappeared. The eldest sister sat up quickly, breathing heavily.

"What the hell happened?" She demanded.

"Demoness nearly killed you, knocked out Paige and kidnapped Leo and Cole," Phoebe explained, giving her sister a hug. "Thank God for Kyle." Prue smiled at Paige's boyfriend as he rested the youngest Halliwell on the couch.

"Can't you heal her?" Piper asked, worried for Paige and the baby. Kyle shook his head and said, "She'll wake up in a bit. But first you need to find out about this demon."
