Little Witch

Chapter Nine

After some vanquishing potions had been created (both from the Book of Shadows and the spellbook Pippa had), Paige and Pippa went back into the living room. Everyone had buckled down and were trying to help Phoebe scry for Cole. Setting the potions down on the coffee table, Pippa went over to where Phoebe sat, looking over her shoulder with interest. She'd never seen anyone scry before.

Glancing over her shoulder, Phoebe cast a quick smile at Pippa. "Have you ever scried before?"

She shook her head and sat down in the chair opposite Phoebe. "Nope. Only heard of how it's done."

"Well, come here, I'll show you how it works." Delighted and a little surprised, Pippa got up and went over behind Phoebe once more. She explained that you need to have something of the person's in order to scry for them. She pointed to a scarf she had that'd been Cole's. Even though she was very good at hiding it, Pippa saw the slight sadness when Phoebe said it'd been Cole's. She went on to say that demons were particularly hard to track because they come from the Underworld, so they aren't really part of the living, dead, or in-between. Plus they typically like to keep themselves hidden and stay on the down-low.

After her lesson, Pippa decided to help Phoebe with scrying. They went at it for about forty minutes before giving up. Cole was clearly trying to hide himself, so they wouldn't find him any time soon. While they were putting the scrying stuff away, Piper burst through the front door. Pippa hadn't realized she'd left at all. "Get your stuff together," she said a bit breathlessly. "We found someone who's helping Cole, and they will help us find him."
