What if the Heroes Met...

If Piper met Crowley Part II

This is a part two to the previous chapter.

-Piper Pov-

It was a fairly normal day. I had just visited Jason in New Rome and Hazel came with me to see Frank. We were seeing the sights in California when I felt my phone vibrate. I slowly took it out of my pocket, already knowing who'd it be.

"Your mom gave you another one? Jeeze, you're basically a hunter now." Hazel joked. But she was right. Every week I had at least one hunt. Aphrodite would make me travel cross country, which was so annoying. Gas was not cheap, you know.

I looked at my phone and saw that it was indeed from my mom. She just sent me a location and if I was lucky, what I was actually hunting.

"Looks like I'm going to San Diego. Want to join?" I looked at Hazel, awaiting her response.

"As long as we're not flying or going by boat, I'm game."

"Okay. We're going in my car, it'll be a long drive though." I sighed and slid into the drivers seat of my car.

"I'll try and look up stuff about recent deaths in San Diego to try and help you figure out what it might be." Hazel offered, taking out her cell phone. She looked a little confused as she opened it up, seeing as this kind of technology was still brand new to her.

~9 hours later~

"We could be dealing with anything. I narrowed it down to either it being vampires, ghouls, demons, witches, or shapeshifters." Hazel announced once we got into town.

"So what's the deal with the town here?" I asked as I searched for a motel. I choose one at the edge of town and sat in the car while Hazel told me the situation.

"People are disappearing. Apparently it's been happening for a while. There were 2 in '06, 4 in '08, 3 in 2010, 5 in 2012, and the people missing now. The people who disappeared were usually spread out during the year, but this month there were two missing in the same week." Hazel summarized, reading the notes off her notepad.

"Hmm. Let's get a room and set up." I grabbed a duffel back with the essentials and walked to the front desk. I ordered a room with two beds no problem, payed with cash, and entered Room 9. I grabbed a bag of salt and lined the windows and walls with it while Hazel pulled out a carpet from the car and laid it on the floor. Underneath the carpet was a devil's trap because you could never be too careful.

"So how did you narrow it down?" I asked when I flopped onto the bed.

"Well ghouls can hunt live people and keep their bodies hidden for as long as they like to, to feed on them later. Shapeshifters usually kill their victims and use their skin, hiding the original body somewhere hidden and safe. Vampires because once you get turned, you're not going to want to come back. Demon because people might have made deals and vanished. And witches because witches like to use human sacrifices sometimes. Glad my mom didn't though." Hazel laughed slightly and closed her notebook.

"Well.. that does narrow it down." There were hundreds of different types of monsters. At least we were able to narrow it down to less than 10.

Turns out we were close- it was vampires. The only down side was: that it was, well vampires.

"Hazel." I whispered to my left where my fellow friend was tied up, "Get out of here when you have the chance. Shadow travel and get back to the hotel. I'll meet you there when I can, okay?" She just nodded her head.

"I'll help you as much as I can before I have to absolutely leave." She summoned our weapons to us, using her control over metals, and we untied ourselves. Currently we were in a warehouse. The missing people were kept in cages while the Vampires used their blood to feed. It was disgusting.
