by Wendy Corsi StaubBad Noon losing Piper saw a thick, enormous black snake rear up beside the flickering fire. "What kind of snake is that?" Piper asked. "It ... it looks like the creature from my vision," Phoebe told her. "The snake that was going to devour that girl." "That's no snake. It's a loa, an evil voodoo spirit," Randy muttered. The monstrous creature turned its head toward them. Its eyes were twin pinpoints of flame. Deadly fangs jutted from its mouth. Piper had never seen anything that was so purely evil. "It's seen us!" Yvonne exclaimed. "This is it. You must use your power now if we are to escape." Stepping out of the shadows, the three Halliwell sisters joined hands. They advanced slowly on the loa.

The foothills weren't bad, but once we hit the main slope, our truck ground to a halt. We unhooked the trailer and stood for a while. One look at the household goods scattered along the ditch made it clear what he had to do, but Mother didn't want to face it. Though it was hot as Hades, Daddy let her talk it all out. <P>Finally Mother nodded. The trailer was the first thing to go. Daddy and I eased it onto the road shoulder.
