Chapter Two: Three is to Two, as Phoebe is to Prue
"Ahh," all three of the girls screamed.
A clap of thunder was heard and Shax was seen.
Phoebe stood up, and pushed Prue down as she was hit with an energy ball. Shax smirked, as he turned into a tornado and left.
"Leo, Leo get your whitelighter ass down here," Prue commanded. "LEO!"
A swirl of blue orbs came down, and they formed Leo.
"What do you girls want," Leo asked.
"Heal Phoebe," Prue commanded.
Leo walked over to her, and a glow appeared from his hands. Phoebe's wound closed up, and she started to move her leg.
"C'mon Piper we have to go and get Shax," Prue stated.
Prue and Piper walked out the kitchen door into an alley. Across the street secretly watching, the news people were standing by video taping the girls.
"Prue we can't expose ourselves," Piper stated.
"Already happened," Prue responded.
"No we weren't exposed Cole was," Piper replied.
"No I exposed myself," Prue mumbled.
A tornado came behind Prue and Piper and it disappeared. A moan was heard and Piper and Prue turned around.
Shax launched an air blast at Prue, and she deflected it causing him to move back slightly. Piper and Prue joined hands, and chanted
'Evil wind that blows,
That which forms below,
No longer may you dwell,
Death takes you with this spell'
Shax started spinning around, and disappeared in a bright light.
'"We did not vanquish him," Piper moaned.
"I know we obviously need a third witch to say the spell with us," Prue said. "Let's get back in the house."
"I don't know what that was but you saw it here first at Channel seven news," Alison said.
Prue and Piper filled Phoebe and Leo in with the recent events.
Cole shimmered in and exclaimed," You performed a vanquish on the news!!"
They turned on the television and they watched themselves injure Shax.
"Piper go outside and freeze the entire street, and blow up that damn camera like I told you to last time," Prue yelled.
"I DID! Maybe it was another news station, how about you come, and we'll figure something out," Piper suggested.
Piper stuck her hand out of the door and flicked her hands causing the street to freeze. Prue and Piper ran outside, and there were hundreds of people outside of their house.
Prue waved her arm and caused the bystanders to scatter across the street flying through the air. She waved her arm again causing the police to go flying and hitting cars. Piper went over to the news cameraman, and blew the camera up. She opened the van door, and took out the audio. She carried the tape over to Prue.
"Prue make up a spell," Piper commanded.
"Ummm, For now and ever,
Get rid of these people forever,
No longer may they dwell,
Make them disappear with this spell," Prue said.
The news people turned into white orbs, and they disappeared.
Prue and Piper went into the house, and Prue dropped the tape onto the couch.
"I can't keep doing this," Piper whispered.
"Well we have to vanquish Shax, and apparently the Source," Prue said.
"Not the Source only Shax," Phoebe responded.
"Phoebe if worst comes to worst," Prue mumbled.
"We'll take later," Phoebe exclaimed.
"Go unfreeze the street," Leo reminded Piper.
"Oh yeah," Piper said. 'I forgot."
Piper flicked her wrist and unfroze the street. The people who were hurt were moaning and groaning.
"Serves you right," Piper laughed as she closed the manor door.
"We have to fix the fact that we have been exposed."
"We reverse time," Leo suggested.
"And how do we do that," Prue asked.
"Tempus,"Cole answered.
"He is an upper level demon we can't summon him," Phoebe whined.
"We can summon whoever whenever, and if we summoned the Source, then we sure as hell can summon Tempus," Prue exclaimed.
"Okay, but you girls do realize that once he reverses time he might want something in return," Leo warned.
"We know," they chorused.
'Come to me and settle here,
We summon the demon Tempus,
Bring him here so we can undo,
The damage that has been done," they chanted.
Tempus appeared in the attic staring at the sisters.
"Why did the Charmed Ones summon me," he asked.
"We need your help," Prue replied.
"What shall I do," he asked.
"Can you reverse time before this exposure mess started," Piper begged.
"Only if I get the eldest witch Prue to join me in the Underworld," he commanded.
"Okay," Prue responded.
"Prue no," Piper whispered.
"Just remember that Shax will be coming," Prue reminded her sisters.
"And the demon Belthazar needs to come," Tempus requested.
"Leo you should go just in case," Piper suggested.
Leo walked over to Prue and they held hands.
"I won't be able to hear your calls," Leo warned.
"Go," Phoebe yelled.
Tempus flamed out with Cole, Prue, and Leo.
"Reverse time," Prue commanded.
"It shall be done," Tempus replied.
He closed his eyes, smirked, and time rewound.
Phoebe and Piper ran in the house with the doctor.
"Look a demon named Shax is after you," Piper stated.
"Who," the doctor exclaimed.
"A demon, more specifically the Source's assassin so you need to…," Phoebe stopped.
"What," Piper asked concerned.
"I don't know I just felt a chill, Prue," Phoebe called. "Prue, Prue are you there?"
Piper wrinkled her nose, and made a funny face. She looked at Phoebe with a confused expression.
Suddenly, a tornado burst through the door, and knocked Piper and Phoebe to the floor.
"Prue where are you!"
A clap of thunder was heard, and they saw Shax.
"No," Phoebe yelled as she got up and pushed the doctor out of the way.
Shax launched an energyball at Phoebe and it hit her causing her to go flying thru the living room wall, and crashing out of the side door. Piper got up, and attempted to freeze Shax. He threw an air blast at Piper and she went flying into the china cabinet. It came down crashing on top of her body. Shax turned to the doctor and smirked.
"What are you," the doctor gasped.
"The end," Shax moaned as he launched an air blast at Doctor Griffiths, and he went flying out of the dining room window.
Shax turned to the left and looked at Phoebe. He turned his head to the right and he looked at Piper's body. He looked straight at the doctor and smirked. He turned into a tornado, and went out of the front door. The door slammed shut, and the glass on the windows shattered into pieces.
