CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

WEAKEN

"I want to know what do we do if Wyatt doesn't change Paige back?" Phoebe asked as she leaned forward from her spot on the couch as she stared into Piper's eyes which were across from her. "You do realize that we are in deep shi --- poop right?"

Piper had given her a warning glare so Phoebe went with another word instead. She sighed deeply and nodded her head. "But Phoebe, I won't force Wyatt to use his powers any more than he has too. I don't want him raised thinking that magic is something he has to do? Or worse thinking that the only way to live his life is to use magic."

Phoebe sighed deeply herself. "I understand that Piper and I quite agree with that. But only Wyatt can shape change Paige back."

"That's the predicament isn't it?" Piper sighed through her nose.

Before anyone else could say anything three demons shimmered in and quickly threw fireballs at Piper and Phoebe. They quickly managed to get to their feet and rush to safety before the fireballs hit.

Phoebe quickly rushed one to the demons and kicked high and managed to clip it's jaw before she landed with her hands in a fighting stance.

"Paige!" Piper cried out as she flicked her hands and one of the demons blew up. Suddenly the other demon turned and threw a fire ball at her and she barely managed to duck out of the way before it hit her. She straightened once more as she saw blue and white lights light up behind the demon and she saw chimpanzee Paige appear. She gulped as she realized that she had cried out her baby ½ sister's name when the demons had shimmered in. Paige didn't have control of her powers so she was quite powerless and quite weak in a demon attack. "Orb back up to your room, Paige, it's not safe."

Paige shook her head and stared at the demon's back and than suddenly she rushed and raised her paws and started to beat the back of the demons legs. The demon turned around with anger and looked surprised when he didn't see anyone at his face. He looked down as he felt stings on his legs and saw a chimpanzee hitting, kicking him. He stared in surprised and than he laughed up roaring.

"Now you have to have a monkey fight your battles for you!"

At the word monkey Paige lost all control and she opened her mouth and screeched at the top of her longs as she renewed her efforts. She tried to call things to hit the demon but nothing happened. She cursed that she didn't have her voice or her typical powers.

The demon soon tired of the chimpanzee's efforts on beating him up and he lifted his right beefy hand and back handed the chimpanzee off of him. He gleefully watched as the chimpanzee flew into the wall just beneath the banister and made a sickling noise. He watched as the chimpanzee fell lifeless onto the floor.

"NO! OMG PAIGE!" Piper's voice screamed as she stared in horror at the sight of her baby ½ sister chimpanzee form lying on the floor with blood oozing from her head. The demon turned around with a fire ball in his hand and smirked as he rushed towards her. Piper's anger hit her and she tossed up her hands and flicked and the demon was pushed back and went over the couch. "Damn it, why didn't he freaking blow up."

Phoebe was too busy fighting her own demon so she didn't know how dire the situation was. But the demon was fast trying her out. She couldn't keep up with the punches and jabs that her demon was throwing her way. She tried to move over to where Piper was standing so Piper could blow the demon up but she caught sight of the demon that Piper had been fighting and saw that the demon didn't blow up.

Phoebe kicked her demon one time in the groin and once he was bent over she rushed over to Piper, "What happened? Why didn't the demon blow up?"

Tears were running down Piper's checks. "I don't know, but we have to get rid of these two, Paige needs us. Quick."

"What do you mean? Paige is safe up in her ro ..." Her voice flattened as Phoebe saw the chimpanzee lying lifeless on the floor. Red hot anger entered her soul and she turned her eyes back to the two demons which were standing with fire balls in their hands. "Who did that!" She asked softly.

The demon that Piper was fighting slowly grinned. "I did." He nodded. "She got off easily, but your death will be mighty painful." With that he thew the fire ball ...
