Shining blue orbs floated in lazily from the ceiling of the attic announcing the arrival of Leo. Piper, Phoebe and Paige looked up from the book they were holding from their position on the couch.
"Did the Elders know anything Leo?" Phoebe asked as Piper stood up to welcome her husband.
"Unfortunately no, they said they don't know anything about demons who can shoot red lasers from their eyes. Also from your description these 'demons' sound human not supernatural. Any luck in the book?" Leo replied as Piper hugged him.
"No, not really. There is a reference to self-healing demons but not enough to go off. We don't know anything about any demons who go around in family groups like that," Piper said, "At least not above the underground,"
"Are you sure it was a family group then?" Leo asked.
"Well it couldn't be anything else, one of them looked about sixteen! And the one that got hit could be any age from thirty to a hundred!" Phoebe said.
"Ok well I think the best plan of action would be to...DUCK!" Piper shouted as a man dressed in black appeared behind Leo. Piper pushed her husband to the floor as the interloper threw a ball of fire at his back. Before she could move the fireball hit a shinning blue force field emitting from Piper's slightly swollen stomach.
"Good baby," she crooned as she flicked her hands out and the man exploded. "Say bye bye to the nasty demon," Flowers sprouted in mid air around the area where the demon had been vanquished.
"Cool, way to go niece!" Paige said struggling to get herself from under the heavy book that she was left with when Phoebe had stood up.
"Are you ok Piper?" Leo asked as he picked himself up.
"Fine, our daughter has a very good taste. Here take these to the gold vase with the angels on it," Piper said as she picked up and handed Leo the flowers her unborn child had summoned.
"Well I think the best we can do is keep an eye on the club, and have a few vanquishing potions ready just in case, because there is no chance of finding them in here," Phoebe said shutting the Book of Shadows with a slight bang.
"Chill Phoebe, that book is centuries old you don't want to break it," Paige laughed. Phoebe stuck her tongue out at her younger sister before heading downstairs after Leo.
"I have to get ready for an interview, if you find anything call me ok? Just not between 2 and 3 got it? This is my job on the line," Phoebe said, stalking to her room as Paige grinned sheepishly at Piper.
"Well I tried didn't I?" she asked to no one in particular.
"Tried what exactly?" Piper asked as she pulled the potion making equipment from the shelf.
"To get her to lighten up," Paige replied flicking through the book for an interesting potion she could make.
"Yeah I suppose, but Paige she needs time to get over Cole. I know its been a while but these things can take ages to right themselves," Piper replied, "Come on lets make some demon busting potions!"
