A/N -

Woohoo! Chapter 9! Don't laugh at the way I make Grams talk. Please. xD

Thank you all for the reviews I love every one of them. (:

Enjoy!

Phoebe set up candles in a circle, lighting each of them. She finished and stood up, looking at Leo. "I wonder how that demon doesn't have enough power from us already. After the anger fiasco then the invisibility thing, it should have enough."

Leo shook his head, "It's only getting power from Paige, it had a different demon unleash the anger in you guys and you vanquished it."

Phoebe stuck her tongue out at Leo while opening the Book to the summoning spell.

"Hear these words,

hear my cry.

Spirit from the other side,

come to me,

I summon thee,

Cross now the Great Divide."

White orbs appeared as Grams stepped from the circle, smiling at Phoebe. "Hello, my dear. Hi Leo."

Grams transparent form turned normal and she hugged Phoebe.

Phoebe smiled and hugged back, "Hi Grams."

Leo rubbed the back of his neck, "I hate to break this up but.." He pointed to Piper, still on the floor with Paige in her arms. Piper was holding Paige in her lap while Paige had her eyes shut, clearly exhausted.

Grams turned around and tilted her head, seeing the two. "What happened to them?"

Phoebe looked at Leo, "Well it's actually a long story.. anyways we need your help. This demon that hasn't been around in centuries suddenly decides to pick Paige to gain enough power to get out of the wasteland. She was invisible for a while but then she starts fading in and out, which causes her to lose energy and she basically can't breathe."

Grams spun around and glanced between Phoebe and Leo, "Alright, I got most of that. How can I be of help?"

Suddenly, Paige jerked awake and started coughing. She faded away and faded back, gasping for air. Piper watched Paige and tried calming her down.

Grams looked at Leo, "Well do something, heal her!" Grams demanded, gesturing to a gasping Paige.

"I can't, I've already tried." Leo breathed out, looking at Piper and Paige.

Paige stopped fading and coughed, breathing heavily.

"That's the third time in under an hour." Piper said, wrapping her arms around Paige again.

"Well we have to do something." Grams said, looking at Leo and Phoebe.

Leo nodded and looked up, "I think the Elders found something. I'll be right back." Leo said while orbing out.

Phoebe sighed and looked at Paige, her face was extremely pale and she looked completely drained of any energy she had left. Phoebe shook her head and went back over to the Book.

Grams stepped up behind Phoebe, placing a hand on her arm. "I know you're worried sweetie, maybe the Elders found something."

Phoebe nodded and placed her face in her hands. She wasn't used to taking the lead, she was used to Piper or Prue doing it. Even Paige sometimes. She rubbed her eyes and looked back up at Grams. "I just don't know what to do."

Leo orbed in and looked at Phoebe. "We have problems. This demon finally got enough energy from Paige, he's coming. Are you sure there's not a vanquishing potion or spell?"

Grams shook her head, "I'm sure we could make a spell but it would take the Power of Three. None of the Warren line has ever faced this demon."

Phoebe looked helplessly over at Piper and Paige. "What are we supposed to do? Obviously Paige can't do a spell, I mean look at her. Piper is obviously turning numb, scared she's going to lose another sister. I just can't do this by myself. I'm never in the lead, I can't figure any of this out." Phoebe put her head in her hands again.

Grams stepped over and hugged Phoebe, "Oh sweetie, I know this is hard, but you can't give up. Your sisters need you."

Phoebe sighed and hugged Grams back. "I know."

A demon shimmered in behind them. His face was deathly pale and his eyes were an empty black. He stood taller than all three of them, glaring down at them. Phoebe, Grams, and Leo stepped back, looking at the demon. Piper slipped Paige out of her arms and stood up.

"Hey!" Piper yelled, attempting to freeze the demon.

He shook and unfroze, chuckling. "You can't harm me, I harness the power of a Charmed One now." He turned around, looking at Phoebe, Grams, and Leo. "Anyone else care to test that?" He challenged, smirking.

Phoebe's face hardened and she jumped, kicking the demon in the face. The demon stumbled and behind him, Paige groaned. Piper raised her hands and tried to blow him up several times.

Paige coughed and held her stomach, blood staining her shirt. Piper continued to try to blow the demon up. Leo, who had stepped behind Piper, realized what was happening to Paige.

"Stop! You're killing her!" Leo screamed but all Piper could focus on was killing the demon.

Paige shut her eyes tightly, the pain being too much to bear. The voices around her warped and she felt her consciousness slipped from her.

Leo grabbed Piper's hands and yanked them down.

"Leo, what are you doing?" She demanded, struggling against his grip.

The demon chuckled, "You fools, you've only made me stronger and made your sister weaker." The demon shimmered out.

Phoebe and Grams rushed over to Paige's side, looking up at Leo.

Leo leaned down and healed Paige's wounds.

"Wait, if you can heal those wounds why can't you just heal her?" Phoebe asked.

"It's something the demon put in along with the invisibility. It blocks my healing powers." Leo said, standing up.

Piper shook her head and looked down, "This is all my fault. If I hadn't been so convinced I could blow up that stupid demon.." She trailed off.

Leo shook his head and hugged Piper, "You didn't know."

Paige took a sharp breath and rubbed her eyes. She groaned and held her stomach, "Alright, am I dead?" She muttered, looking around her.

Phoebe laughed a little and took Paige's hand, "No sweetie, although you were pretty close."

Paige sat up a little and rubbed her forehead. "I can tell."

Grams placed the back of her hand against Paige's forehead. "Oh honey, you're burning up."

Piper nodded, pulling away from Leo. "She had a fever before all of this."

Down in the Underworld, the demon wrapped up a wound on his arm. "Stupid witch. She'll get what's coming to her." He mumbled. He smirked and held out his hand, "Bottle." A small potion bottle orbed into his hand. He laughed in success, crushing the glass bottle in his fist. "Those witches can't defeat me now, can they? Especially with the power bond. They can't kill me without killing her." He waved his hand and summoned a few of his minions.

"Go attack the Charmed Ones." The demon commanded them.

"Sir, that's pure suicide, even without the third one." One of the minions spoke, looking up at the demon.

"Do it or you die by my hand, not theirs." The demon snapped back.

The other minions bowed and shimmered out. The demon smiled to himself.

Paige ran her hand through her hair, watching Phoebe and Piper pace.

Grams looked at Paige, "Do they do this often?"

Paige shrugged, "Did they do this when they were younger?"

Phoebe and Piper stopped to glare at them both.

"Excuse us for being worried, Missy Paige." Piper snapped, sticking her tongue out at Paige.

Suddenly, the minions shimmered into the attic.

"Get the short one." The leader muttered.

One of the minions shot an energy ball at Phoebe, sending her flying into a table.

Piper raised her hands, blowing up one of them.

Paige sat up as another minion shot an energy ball directly at Piper. "Energy ball!" Paige called out, sending it back at the demon.

Piper spun around and blew up the last minion. "Paige! You're still too weak to be using your powers!" She demanded, glaring at her younger sister.

"What? Would you rather be dead? I'm fine." Paige said before laying back down.

Piper helped Phoebe up and glared at Paige. "Ugh, what are we going to do with you?"

Grams stood in front of Piper, "Oh Piper she saved your life, calm down."

Piper sighed and shook her head. "She still needs to stop taking all of our lives into her own hands."

Paige sat up again and glared at Piper, "Excuse me but I believe I just saved your butt."

Phoebe put her hands up. "Stop both of you. Piper stop being so harsh you could be dead right now. Paige she does have a point."

Paige threw her hands up and shrugged, "So I'll just let you two die next time then? Oh okay. Whatever."

Grams put her hand on Paige's shoulder, "Sweetie, Phoebe has a point too."

Paige shook her head, crossing her arms.

Piper sighed and picked up a piece of the table, throwing it aside.

"They won't even look at each other for the next two days." Phoebe mumbled, looking at Grams.

Grams shook her head, "They do this often?"

Phoebe looked at Grams, surprised. "Don't you watch us sometimes? They're at each other's necks constantly."

Grams shrugged, "I do have an afterlife to live but yes I've noticed a few times when I've checked in. This is certainly enough though, they're sisters they should be acting like it."

Phoebe looked down, "Little late for that but go ahead, try your best."

Grams stop Phoebe a look before stepping up between them. "So you two fight like this often?"

Paige didn't look up and Piper leaned back against the wall.

Grams sighed, "Alright. I'll take that as a yes. You two need a serious wake up call. You're sisters and you need to start acting like it."

Phoebe sat down on the couch, watching Grams attempt to get Piper and Paige to talk or even look at each other.

After many failed attempts, Grams shook her head and looked at Phoebe. "They're as stubborn as me, we have a problem."

Phoebe nodded, "Tell me about it. Along with this stupid demon, this is not going to be a fun few days."

Grams sighed and walked over to the Book. "There has to be a way we can get them to bond. Other than when Paige is on the verge of death."

Piper shot a look at Grams, "That is not true. We bond all the time" Piper snapped.

Paige nodded, "Yeah, you said you barely watched us. How would you know anyways?"

Phoebe laughed a little. "Oh Grams, you're a genius."

Grams smiled and bowed a little. "Thank you."

Piper and Paige glanced at each other, confused.

"Looking for me, my dears?" The demon said, shimmering in beside Paige.

Paige shut her eyes tightly, mustering up enough strength to orb next to Piper, glaring at the demon.

The demon chuckled, "Gaining strength are we?"

Piper clenched her fists, mad she couldn't blow this demon up.

The demon turned around and held out his hand, "Book." The Book of Shadows disappeared in blue orbs and appeared in his hand. "Ooh it recognizes good powers now does it?" The demon chuckled and turned back to Paige, "I really do enjoy your powers. Soon you won't have any at all."

Paige smirked and cocked her head, stepping towards the demon. "Oh yeah? I still know how to use mine. Book!" The Book disappeared in orbs again and landed in Paige's hands. She smirked, "Look at that, I like my powers too. Piper, blast him."

Piper stared at Paige, "Are you crazy? You saw what it did."

Paige glared back at her older sister, "I'll be fine, just blast him before he can get the Book again."

Piper shook her head and raised her hands, blasting the demon a few times.

"Leo!" Phoebe called, watching the blood seep through Paige's shirt.

Paige squeezed her eyes shut, still holding onto the Book.

The demon finally grunted and shimmered out.

Leo orbed in and looked at Phoebe, "What's wrong?"

Phoebe pointed to Paige who was smirking, even under the circumstances.

"Told you it would work!" Paige said, handing the Book to Piper.

"How the heck is she so energetic and bleeding?" Phoebe said, gesturing to Paige.

Leo shook his head and placed his hands over Paige's stomach and arm.

"You could've been killed." Piper said, setting the Book down.

"I'm still here aren't I? I also saved the Book. By the looks of it, I'm not even bleeding so ha."

Grams stepped up in front of Phoebe. "Piper, she does have a point. We got rid of the demon for awhile and she's fine."

Piper grumbled and crossed her arms. "Whatever."

Phoebe looked at them, "Hey hey, at least the demon is no longer focused on sucking energy from Paige. He's now focused on killing us and we can vanquish him."

"You sure about that?" Piper said, looking at Phoebe.
