Chapter 7

Halliwell Manor: 11:45 P.M.

Piper and Phoebe orbed in front of the door with Leo and ran in, Phoebe and Piper stopped when they saw the living room and a broken window.

"PAIGE? PAIGE! WHERE ARE YOU!" Phoebe shouted. There was no answer,

"Leo! What happened here where is she! Where's Paige?" Piper shouted. Leo walked around the house,

"PIPER!" Phoebe shouted. Piper and Leo ran into the kitchen, they saw blood underneath the rubble and began to dig through it. Piper began to cry when they saw Paige and pulled her out,

"Leo heal her!" Piper shouted. Leo placed his hands over Paige,

"Leo why isn't it working?" Phoebe shouted.

"I don't know" Leo said. Then there was a knock at their door. Phoebe went to answer it, she screamed as she flew back into the couch.

"Phoebe!" Piper shouted. David walked in,

"Oh my, my looks like Paige is sick" David said laughing.

"What did you do to her?" Piper shouted.

"Let's just say I gave her a little of my blood" David said.

"That's why I can't heal her anymore, there's too much demon blood in her" Leo whispered.

"She's not evil!" Piper shouted. David began laughing, Piper tried to blow him up but nothing happened.

"Who are you!" Phoebe shouted.

David changed into his demonic form "Kumar" Kumar grinned. He looked at Paige

"Don't you touch her!" Piper shouted. He walked towards Phoebe who came right towards him with a kick; he caught her ankle and threw her into Piper. Leo protected Paige, he hit Kumar across the face. He picked Leo up by the neck and threw him

"Pathetic" Kumar said.

"Paige!" Piper shouted. Kumar flamed out with Paige, "Leo follow him!" Phoebe shouted.

Behind A Waterfall

The others orbed in, they walked quietly then stopped as they saw Paige lying on an alter, Piper ran towards her but was thrown back by a force field. 'Did you really think it'd be that simple?" Kumar said.

"Let her go!" Piper shouted.

"Oh it doesn't matter if I let you take her or keep her here, she'll die either way" Kumar said.

"What do you mean?" Phoebe asked.

"You see, my blood is very powerful and pure evil, I wanted revenge on the charmed ones for taking my power away years ago. So I tracked Paige down, then I infected her with my blood giving her a choice" Kumar said.

"What do you mean a choice?" Piper asked. "You see, it is impossible for anyone who has such pure good blood to resist such an evil as my own. Paige could have let the evil consume her turning her into an invincible demon like me. However I underestimated her will to resist and when she did that it took every ounce of strength for her to fight it. First it took her powers, then her ability to know what's a hallucination and what's not and finally her life. She should have become like me but now she is dying." Kumar said.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Phoebe shouted. She ran towards him but got thrown back by the force field; Piper and Leo helped her up.

"Now I shall take her weakened soul and take it into me giving me her powers." Kumar said.

"NO PLEASE!" Piper shouted.

Kumar walked over to Paige,

"Piper…." Paige whispered. Kumar picked her up by the neck; she was too weak to fight him. She began chocking when he placed his hand on her chest, a little blue swirl of fog appeared in his hand as Paige dropped to the ground. Kumar laughed and orbed away. Piper blew up the force field as they ran in

"Leo help her!" Piper shouted.

"I cant, she's dead…." Leo whispered.

"NO!" Phoebe shouted.

"Paige please wake up" Piper whispered. She hugged Phoebe and began to cry; Paige the youngest of them all was dead.

"You have to kill him" Leo said.

"How…how…he's too strong and he isn't in the book" Piper sobbed.

"You're the charmed ones, you have strength not only as witches but as sisters too" Leo said.

"What if we cant do it?" Phoebe whispered.

"You can, you just have to believe you can" Leo said. He sighed as they hugged him, then they took Paige as they orbed home.

Halliwell Manor: 1:30 A.M.

Leo had gone back up with the elders to make sure Kumar didn't have any plans to attack. Piper and Phoebe had been sitting in the attic for hours staring at Paige,

"This is hopeless, and why can't we think of anything!" Piper shouted. Phoebe sighed, "Wait a minute" Phoebe whispered.

"What?" Piper asked. "What if we do what Kumar did to Paige?" Phoebe asked.

"What do you mean?" Piper said, I mean we could trap him Leo could transform into Paige and trick Kumar into coming down here, then we trap him and give him our blood" Phoebe said.

"Will it work?" Piper asked.

"It will, we just have to mark our insignia onto his back but we'll use both of our blood so it will be stronger than the evil in him." Phoebe said.

"And instead of him trying to consume the good he will fight it, and then he'll die" Piper said.

"Exactly, come on lets go downstairs and set it up" Phoebe said.

"I'll be down in a minute" Piper said.

She walked over to Paige, "Hang in there Paige, we wont let you go" Piper said.
