fandomhigh | Thursday 6/29 - library is open

Since Blair had promised to keep an eye on Lana when they went to their afternoon workshop, Phoebe had decided to head to the library to do some research to see if she could help her friends and the students that she didn't know.

She had never had a problem with ghosts before, but these ones were being hurtful and cruel... and she couldn't let her friends suffer like this. The scene in Yogalaties still had her in tears and she was determined to help in any way that she could.

"Can I help you find something?" Kurt looked up from the stack of papers with a smile.

Phoebe turned her head at the voice and then she smiled. "Hello," she said quietly. "Are you the librarian?"

"Ja, most of zhe time," Kurt stood up and sketched a small bow. "Kurt Wagner, ozhervise known as the incredible Nightcrawler, at your service."

Phoebe gave him a tired smile. "It's very nice to meet you, Mr. Wagner," she said. "I'm Phoebe Halliwell."

"The pleasure is all mine, ja." Kurt indicated the library shelves. "So, vas can I help you find today?"

Phoebe bit her lip. "I need books on ghosts, demons, huantings and things like that."

"That seems to be a popular topic around here," He said with a tone of possible disappointment. "No one ever reads the classics anymore."

He gestured her to follow as he headed back into the depths of the library.

"Ja, paranormal studies, hauntings, it's all right here," He indicated the talls shelves in 3 rows.

Phoebe shook her head. "Oh, don't worry, Mr. Wagner. I read a lot. But there are weird things that happen here in Fandom and having knowledge about them gives you power to handle them."

She followed him and hid her worry.

That was a lot of books to choose from for information.

Kurt chuckled. "Ja, very weird zhings indeed. I've seen a few of zhem." He turned around and grinned. "One might even say I am one of zhem, ja?" He laughed.

Phoebe tilted her head. "Why would someone say that someone as nice as you are would be a weird thing?"

She had a point to her.

She looked up at the shelves. "Now, to find something about group hauntings."

"Group hauntings?" Kurt looked puzzled. "Can you explain that a little bit?"

"Uhmm... as in a group of people being haunted at the same time but by seperate ghosts?"

Piper stopped by the library after getting a call from Phoebe to meet her there for researching. She only hoped they could figure something out.

Phoebe heard the door open and poked her head out of the stacks. "Piper?"

Piper waved at her sister. "I hope you were more successful with research than I was with the Book of Shadows."

"Not yet, but I'm hopeful," she said. "Next time? I ask Jenny Calendar for a note to get into Special Collections."

"Probably a good idea," Piper added. "I found a potion to banish a ghost, but since there's something else causing the hauntings, it probably wouldn't work."

"I hope we have better luck," she said sadly. "Cole is upset and we may be losing Lana."

She pulled a large book down and carried it to the table where she started flipping through pages.

"Piper..."

"I know," Piper said quietly. "I'm worried about Veronica...and everyone. They shouldn't have to deal with this."

She looked at Phoebe. "We can't give up, though. We're gonna figure this out."

Phoebe nodded. "I know. I looked up tentacle monsters online and all I really found was a lot of really bad hentai."

Piper shuddered. "Maybe there's something in that book you've got there?"

"I hope...Oh god..."

Phoebe had flipped to a page and something jumped out at her. She placed her hand on the page to steady it while she read and heard that familiar roaring sound in her ears. "No... oh no..." Phoebe gasped as a premonition took hold of her.

She saw a group of people, faces she sensed she recognized flashing by too quickly to identify, standing in a circle. They were chanting as one in the center wound a ribbon around something. Suddenly a tentacle erupted from the earth outside the circle, slithering along the ground as it reached for the center person. There were more people outside the circle, and these attacked the tentacle, chopping it to pieces before it could find its target. Another tentacle snaked from the ground, then another.

Phoebe jerked back into her chair, her face pale and her eyes wide.

Piper gave Phoebe a concerned look. "What did you see?"

Phoebe shuddered and quickly repeated what she had seen. "I know the faces but it was so fast that they went by..."

"What triggered the premonition?" Piper asked, glancing at the book.

"Him." Phoebe pointed at Lysistratas.

"So we're just gonna have to figure out how to stop it," Piper said, trying to sound optimistic. But she was very concerned at the same time.

"We will. We have to."

Piper nodded in agreement.

"I should tell Cole we have a name of a demon and an idea..." She ran a hand through her hair. "This at least gives us a place to start."

"It's better than nothing," Piper added. "Maybe we can even use some of the spells in the Book of Shadows."

She nodded. "We should write about this in the Book after this is all over."

"Definitely," Piper agreed.

"I'm scared."

Piper reached across the table and held Phoebe's hand. "So many people are trying to help. No way we're going to let this thing win."

Phoebe nodded. "It's what we do..."
