A/N -

Thank you so much for the reviews, I have 30 reviews! I can't thank you guys enough for reviewing! I appreciate them all and I love that so many people have stuck with the story for so long. (Again, this isn't the last chapter, I make it seem like that).

I'm still excited to see where this story takes me. The nameless demon finally gets a name. Anyways, thank you and enjoy. (:


In the Underworld, the demon grunted. He waved his hand, summoning two of his minions.

"Xavier, master." One of the minions said, bowing.

Xavier growled, "Don't you dare say my name!" He lifted his hand and hurled an energy ball at the minion, watching the flames spread as the minion was sent to the Wasteland.

The other minion stared at Xavier, "Is there something you need, sir?" He asked, quietly.

Xavier nodded, "Yes. I need you to get other minions ready to attack the Charmed One's."

The minion nodded, "That is pure suicide, but I will."

Xavier nodded, "It isn't if we catch them in a weak moment. When they aren't prepared. Now go." He waved his hands and sent the minion off. He smiled to himself and startEd practicing his newly formed powers.

Paige glanced at Piper, who had flipped through the Book for the past hour. "Are you really that mad at me?" Paige asked, looking back at her hands.

Piper looked up and tilted her head. "No, I just don't want you dead, that's all."

Paige nodded, playing with her fingers.

Piper chewed on her lip, watching Paige. Her face was paler than usual, no doubt from the energy draining experience she had earlier. Paige didn't look back up at her, obviously lost in thought. Piper noted the sadness in Paige's eyes.

Her little sister had gone through so much in her life. A cross she shouldn't have to bear, especially not by herself. She was alone for years, thinking the last of her family had died in a fiery accident. Piper couldn't comprehend what it was like to feel truly alone in this world, not even after Prue. She felt abandoned by Prue at first but she had never been truly alone. She had Phoebe and then came Paige. Paige kept them alive when they almost gave up on everything. Piper had almost given up, but Paige had helped her through it, one way or another. Piper had found her annoying and not needed at first but she realized later that Paige had saved her from completely giving up on everything. In all honesty, Piper couldn't think of a time she didn't want Paige in her life. Paige hadn't pushed being sisters at first, she just wanted to help them mourn the loss of a sister. She started out as being a friend to them, knowing none of them could take being family. Paige had been alone all her life, an only child, even she didn't want sisters just yet. Piper knew Paige was stronger than anyone she had ever met and seeing sadness in her eyes was surprising. She kept to herself, she never wanted to bother Piper or Phoebe. She always dealt with things by herself, which Piper knew wasn't good. Piper had tried to do that after Prue died but all it did was make Piper more mad at herself.

"Piper.." Paige said, noticing the look in Piper's eyes.

Piper blinked and turned her attention to Paige, "What?"

"Um.. you were mumbling something.. never mind." Paige said, shaking her head.

"No really, what was I saying?" Piper said.

"Something about me and being your sister. I really don't know." Paige shrugged, looking back at her hands.

"Oh," Piper said, cursing in her head for thinking out loud.

"It's really not that big of a deal." Paige said, still not looking at her.

"Alright, well can I ask you something?" Piper said while stepping closer to Paige.

"Sure, go ahead." Paige said.

"What are you so afraid of?" Piper asked, moving in front of Paige.

Paige looked at her oddly, "Who says I'm afraid of anything?"

Piper laughed a little, "Paige, I'm your sister, I can tell when you're scared of something."

Paige shrugged and ran a hand through her hair.

"Oh come on Paige, don't pull the silent treatment on me now." Piper said and pouted, crossing her arms.

Grams and Phoebe came up the stairs, silently hoping Piper and Paige weren't trying to strangle each other. Phoebe gave Grams a look and inched the attic door open.

"Paige, why can't you just tell me?" Piper demanded, glaring at her little sister.

Paige shrugged again and glanced at the door, "Hey, come to join the party?" Paige asked, eyeing Phoebe.

Phoebe cursed under her breath and walked farther into the attic. "I hate when you do that, I barely even made a noise."

Paige smirked, "It's my secret talent."

Grams shook her head and followed Phoebe, "Now what were you two fighting about?"

"It was all Piper," Paige crossed her arms and pouted.

"I can't believe you're really pulling the 'cute little sister' act again." Piper crossed her arms and looked at Grams. "You're not buying this are you?"

Grams laughed and nodded, "I am. Sorry Piper, but you like to argue."

Phoebe nodded and laughed. "Grams is right."

"Ugh!" Piper threw her hands up. "I give up!"

Paige giggled and stuck her tongue out at Piper.

Leo orbed in from the Elders. He looked at them, "He's coming for you. Paige, do you feel lightheaded?"

Paige looked at him oddly, "No, not at all. Why?"

Leo sighed, "I'll explain later. If you start feeling lightheaded, tell me."

Paige nodded, "Alright."

Grams looked between the girls, "Ready to write the vanquishing spell?"

Phoebe laughed, "It's already done. I think ahead."

"You won't have time to use it," a deep voice bellowed, echoing across the room. The source of the voice was no where to be seen.

Phoebe stepped closer to Piper and Paige stood up, looking around the room.

A laugh echoed across the walls as Xavier shimmered into view. "Miss me?"

"Girls, say the spell." Grams demanded, staring at the demon.

Xavier waved his hand, summoning four minions behind him. "Get them," he demanded, smirking.

Two of the minions stepped forward and shot Phoebe and Piper back against the wall. They dropped to the floor, groaning.

"Shelf!" Paige yelled, moving her hands and shooting it towards the minions. The shelf appeared in blue orbs on top of them and they struggled underneath it.

Paige looked at Xavier and followed his gaze to the Book.

"Book," Xavier and Paige simultaneously called out, reaching their hands out. Grams and Leo looked in amazement as the Book lifted and hovered in blue orbs. Paige narrowed her eyes, shooting the Book towards her. The Book flew towards Paige and she ducked.

"Crap!" she yelled, spinning around.

Xavier smirked and laughed, "Silly witch. You're powers are still weak. I mean how long have you been a witch? A year?" He laughed again.

Paige narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth. So what if she had been a witch for only a year? Her powers were developed weren't they?

"Paige, get the Book." Grams said, breaking her away from her thoughts.

Piper helped Phoebe stand up, looking between Paige and the demon.

Paige held her hand out, "Power." She smiled confidently as blue orbs rose out of Xavier. A blinding light appeared as Xavier screamed in agony. Paige glowed on a blue light and she held out her hand again, still sucking his powers. "Athame," she spoke simply, watching as it appeared in her hand. She walked over to him and placed it against his stomach. "Thanks for making me realize I'm stronger than I think." She stabbed it into his stomach and watched as the flames enveloped him.


A/N-

I know you must hate me because I haven't updated in like a week and it's a short chapter. I really wanted to leave it on that note though. I'm so sorry for the long wait.

Please review! I love to hear from you!
