East Attic - 5th/6th Periods

[marsheadtilt]

Veronica and Chloe were waiting.

Rather impatiently, truth be told.

They were worried about Piper and her behavior earlier. She hadn't come back and they had no idea where she was

Phoebe ripped a piece of her shirt away and wrapped it around Cole's hand, and then looked at Paige.

Paige set the bowl down on the coffee table and she and Phoebe took up positions on either side.

"Ready to try again?" Paige asked her.

Phoebe sighed. "No, but we have to get this done quickly."

Paige nodded and then she and Phoebe started chanting.

"Hear now the words of the witches,
The secrets we hid in the night.
The oldest of Gods are invoked here,
The greatest of magic is sought.
In this night and in this battle,
I call upon the ancient power.
Bring back my sister.
Bring back the Power of Three.
Power of the sisters' rise.
Course unseen across the skies.
Come to us, we call you near.
Come to us and settle here.
Blood to blood, I summon thee.
Blood to blood, return to me."

Piper smoked into the east attic and immediately focused her attention on the evil doer. She ignored everyone else in the room.

"Piper, you don't want to do this," Bel said, taking a few steps back out of sheer self-preservation. Then her eyes were on him and he cried out in pain as the voices started screaming in his mind. He sank to his knees, clutching his head.

[cookinggeek]

Piper pushed him back and scratched at him. She didn't stop focusing her attention on him. The screams in his head would only get louder.

[demonbelthazor]

The screaming in his head, the cries of all the people he had killed over the years, grew louder, accusing and demanding justice. Bel collapsed to the floor, writhing in agony, overwhelmed. The pain grew with each second until he couldn't take it anymore.

Veronica watched in horror as Bel fell to the ground. She knew that someone had to divert Piper's attention from him and she couldn't expect Phoebe or Paige to attack their own sister.

"Hey," she called, walking up behind Piper. "Why don't you pick on someone who can fight back?"

[sensethevisions]

While Veronica was talking to Piper, Phoebe got inbetween Piper and Cole. She couldn't attack Piper unless she had no choice, but she could try to prevent her from attacking Cole physically.

"Piper, don't do this." Phoebe begged.

[demonbelthazor]

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Bel whimpered, then his words became incoherent moans as he curled into a ball on the floor.

Piper glared at Phoebe for getting in the way and backhanded her. She turned her attention, once again, back onto Bel.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe cried out and her head jerked to the side as her sister hit her. She was caught off guard because she hadn't expected Piper to actually hit her. She shook her head to clear it and shoved Piper back and away from Cole.

"I won't let you kill, Piper."

[cookinggeek]

Piper, unable to be reasoned with, attempted to swing at Phoebe again. She didn't care that this was her sister.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe reached out and blocked Piper's hand with her arm. She held it for a second and then used her momentum to shove her back and kicked out at her leg.

"Piper, listen to me. You can't do this!"

Chloe took this opportunity to step between Piper and Phoebe, trying to put more distance between them. "Phoebe's right, Piper. I know you're in there somewhere. You have to stop this, please."

[cookinggeek]

Piper stopped for a moment and stared at Chloe. She wasted no time shoving her out of the way, attempting once again to focus on Bel.

[sensethevisions]

Piper again found her way blocked by Phoebe, who shoved her back from Cole again.

"Piper, stop!"

[cookinggeek]

Piper got back up and pushed past Phoebe to focus on Bel again. She was getting tired of all these people getting in her way.
