Chapter Two: Two Days Later…

Piper and Phoebe Halliwell were standing in the attic flipping through the Book of Shadows when a swirl of blue lights appeared. Paige Matthews appeared with a sleeping girl in her arms. "Hey, how is she?" Phoebe said as she took her niece from her little sister.

"As well as any one year old can be." She said as she sat down next to Phoebe and stared at Piper, who was still flipping through the book. "How is she?" Paige whispered as she pointed in Piper's direction.

"I'm pissed off, but more annoyingly pissed that there is nothing in this god forsaken book to help me find my son." She slammed the book shut and began to pace the attic.

Phoebe looked at her older sister with sympathy especially since she just recently lost her daughter Laura. "Piper, sweetie you really need to stay calm, I think-."

"Calm Phoebe? My son along with your daughter, not to mention Billie's son were kidnapped by some manic demon and you're telling me that I should be calm, I AM FAR FROM CALM!" she screamed at the same time all the windows in the attic blew out.

"Okay what the hell was that?" Paige said as she jumped to her feet.

"You see, that is why I said you should be calm." Phoebe said as she handed Grace back to Paige and walked over to Piper and put her arms around her shoulder. "Honey breathe, just calm down." Piper resisted at first, but then slumped her head against Phoebe's shoulder.

"Sorry." She mumbled.

"Its okay sweetie, we're all on edge, don't feel so bad, 'okay."

"Okay, again, what the hell was that?" Paige said as she gave her sisters a confused look.

"Well since…you know, Piper's emotions have kind of been wonky, huh she nearly blew up the whole kitchen last night."

"Oh." Was all Paige could say; she set Grace down on the couch and wrapped her with the afghan and walked over to Piper and hugged her. They stood there for a moment just being thankful that they still had each other.

Chris was the first to wake up; he couldn't see anything as he tried to sit up. He hit the top of his head on the cage, which just caused more pain to surge through his head. He tried orbing, but he just bounced off of the walls. As soon as he reappeared he let out a groan.

"It's no use you know." He jumped when he heard a voice coming from the other side of the cage.

"Laura?" he said as moved towards his cousin. "Hey are you alright, did they hurt you?"

"No I'm fine, just scared."

"Have you seen what they looked like?" she shook her head. He sighed and looked around the room. He didn't see much, because of the lighting coming from the torches that were surrounding the room. There was a table with a cauldron and some scrolls that looked like they were going turn to dust. He also saw four potion bottles three of them filled red liquid. He held his arm through the bars and tried to orb on of the bottles to him. To his surprise it worked. He quickly hid the potion in his pocket and called for the other three.

Laura crawled closer to him to see what was in the bottles. "What is it?"

"It's our blood." Both of their heads shot up as they saw Eric coming to.

"What? How do you know?" Chris said as he questioned his cousin.

"Because I was awake when they took it, they said that it was for a potion, but before I could teleport they locked me back in the cage." He put his arm in the light and showed the hole that the syringe went in. Chris and Laura both lifted their arms and saw the same hole.

"What the hell!" Chris murmured as he leaned his head against the cage.

Laura began to huddle closer when they heard someone approaching; they all fell silent. "Have you found the other child?" they heard a low hiss coming from the hooded figure standing with his back to them.

"Yes, the witches have moved her to the Magic School, but they can't keep her there forever."

"You think you can try and run a thoroughly well maneuvered plan and then be beaten by some godforsaken witches. We need someone to get on the inside. Have a shape shifter capture one of the sisters and try to wriggle them in."

"But sire-."

"NO! THIS NEED'S TO HAPPEN AND SOON, I only have one more day and I'm not going to risk everything, just to let some lowlife demons survive, do you understand me." He hissed.

"Yes sire, as you wish." The demon shimmered out and left the hooded man to finish his work.

"Well this is going to be hard to get out of now." Eric whispered as he leaned against the bars of the cage.

"I don't anything, I swear." The demon cried as Billie threw another potion the crystal cage see trapped him in.

"You're lying, now tell me where my son and my niece and nephew are NOW!" she said as she threw another potion at the cage. The demon screamed and fell to the floor, he tried to sit up, but the last hit caused too much pain.

"Billie what are you doing?" Billie jumped and turned to see Paige and Piper in the doorway, both with their hands on their hips.

"Oh, hi guys, I was just asking this demon if he knew anything about the kids." She said as she plastered a smile on her face.

Paige sighed and walked towards her. "Honey, we're all on edge here, but that does mean we summon demons to torture, I mean what if he got out and killed you?"

"Relax, after all these years I'm pretty sure I can kill one lousy demon. Besides I was just about to kill him anyways." She turned back towards the demon and with a wave of her hands she moved a crystal but before the demon had time to shimmer out Billie had already thrown a potion at him. He blew up and Billie continued to mix another potion.

Paige glared at her and then looked at her sister for help. Piper moved towards the other two, "Uh, Billie sweetie, don't you think that was a little risky to bring a demon here without telling any of us."

"Hmm, oh yeah well I couldn't find you guys." She said without looking up from the book.

"I see…okay Billie this is ridiculous, you can't just summon demons into my house and not bother to have one of for back-up, I mean what if he had others to come to find him, you might have gotten killed." Piper said as her voice began to rise. This made Billie look up from the book; she stared at Piper for a moment and then went back to studying the potion. "Billie you're not thinking straight, maybe you should just lie down for a while."

"Piper I don't need to lie down, I need to find my son."

"Billie, Piper's just trying to help, maybe you should-."

"NO! I need to find son god dammit, and if you're not going to help, then go away!"

"Billie, summoning and torturing demons isn't the answer sure it is one way, but not one you do alone."

"Paige." Piper said through her teeth. Paige just shrugged. "Sweetie I know you want to find your son, so do I, but that still doesn't mean you put them in danger by torturing demons."

"You know, out of all people Piper I thought you would be the first to summoning and torturing demons, but I guess the years have made you too soft." She turned away from them and began to throw some ingredients into the cauldron.

Piper grabbed Billie by her shoulders and swung her around so she could face her. "BILLIE! LISTEN TO YOURSELF!" she screamed, but stopped when she saw that Billie was crying. Piper pulled the woman towards her and held her tight. They both sat there for a minute and then she broke her and Billie apart from each other. "Okay, Paige why don't you take over here while I go lay Billie down, she could use some rest."

Paige nodded as they left the attic. As Piper led Billie down the stairs they heard Paige scream. Rolling her eyes, Piper started to run back towards the attic. She had reached the attic before Billie and saw three demons all aiming fireballs at her. She quickly threw her hands up and blew up two of the demons. The other one had been blown back from the blow, he quickly stood and materialized another fireball and threw it at Piper, but to their surprise the fireball went flying back at the demon. He screamed and then burst into flames, Billie came running to the girl's side when four more demons appeared.

The first two threw fireballs, but Billie deflected them with her telekinesis, and then sent the demons hurtling into the wall. Piper froze the other two demons before they could make their moves. Billie walked over to the table and grabbed a potion bottle. By moving the demons together with her power, she threw the potion, which killed both demons. "Okay I guess it's take your fellow demons to vanquish a witch day."

"I don't know, but I wished they'd stop coming in packs." Paige groaned as Piper and Billie helped her to her feet.

"You okay?" Piper asked.

"Yeah, but I think we need reinforcements." With that she grabbed Piper and Billie's arms and orbed away.
