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

Bel shimmered up to the East Attic when he got Veronica's message after lunch. He knocked on the door.

[marsheadtilt]

"It's open!" Veronica called.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel walked into the room. "What's going on?" he asked. "What's up with Piper?"

[marsheadtilt]

"We went off the island last night and ran into these scary demon chicks. We fought them off and Piper blew one up, but I think it did something to her. She was really bitchy this morning and then she teleported out of the room in a puff of smoke," Veronica explained, the words tumbling out in a rush.

Lindsey ran up to the attic after getting Veronica's voicemail and knocked on the door.

[marsheadtilt]

"It's open," Veronica called.

[wannabelawyer]

Lindsey started talking before he was all the way through the door.

"What's wrong? Is she ok? Where is she?"

[mycanonhatesme]

"We don't actually know where she is. She kind of...poofed this morning, and we haven't seen her since."

Phoebe ran up the stairs to the East Attic after she got Veronica's message and knocked on the door.

[[OOC: Sorry, sleeping.]]

[mycanonhatesme]

"Come in, it's open!" Chloe called.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe came in and looked around at everyone else.

"What's going on?"

[mycanonhatesme]

"Do you know anything about Furies?"

[marsheadtilt]

Phoebe looked at Cole. "We tried to do a summoning spell on her, but the pull of evil is too strong."

"It was a really cool spell though," Chloe added with more than a bit of awe. "There's got to be something else we can try."

Veronica bit her lip. She could tell that whatever Piper had done to Angel was devastating, no matter how much he had tried to hide his pain.

"What if... what if there was more of an incentive for her to come here?" Veronica suggested quietly, glancing apologetically in Bel's direction.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel blinked at Veronica. "Huh?"

[marsheadtilt]

"What if she knew there was an evil-doer here for her to go after?" Veronica explained, her voice still low.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe blinked for a moment and then what Veronica was suggesting started sinking into her brain.

"What?" She looked at Cole and then back to Veronica. "No. No! We are not using the love of my life as bait! No."

[sensethevisions]

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.

[demonbelthazor]

"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.
