Chapter 2
"Something's wrong with Prue."
Lightning flashed and thunder clapped, shaking the Halliwell manor. Piper and Phoebe stared at Leo with wide eyes. A feeling of dread settled upon both of the sisters.
"Wha-what do you mean Leo?" Phoebe asked as she sat up on the couch looking at Leo with wide, scared eyes.
"I can't explain," Leo said quickly getting to his feet. "I need to go."
Leo prepared to orb out of the house when Piper jumped to her feet, anger burning inside her.
"Oh no, you don't!" Piper yelled. "What the hell is wrong with my sister, Leo?!"
Leo looked at Piper and Phoebe, dread and remorse covered his features.
"I-I think she's fighting a demon." Leo said quietly.
Phoebe's face paled and she felt her heart skip a beat. Piper almost forgot to breathe. Suddenly Piper ran out of the room and came back with her's and Phoebe's jacket, handing Phoebe her jacket Piper turned to Leo with a determined look on her face.
"We're going with you," Piper stated. "And don't even bother trying to talk us out of it."
Leo opened his mouth as if he were going to object but thought better of it. Grabbing onto Piper and Phoebe's shoulders, Leo orbed out of the manor.
Landing in the small clearing Piper, Phoebe, and Leo looked around for any sign of the oldest Halliwell. Phoebe detached herself from Leo's grip and ran to the center of the clearing, tears burning in her eyes. Piper followed closely behind her.
Phoebe dropped to her knees next to her sister's unconscious form. Pulling Prue into her lap, Phoebe began to shake her sister's shoulders. Piper knelt down next to Pheobe, her heart hammering in her chest.
"Prue," Phoebe screamed. "Prue wake up!"
Prue's face was pale and blood seeped from the wounds she had on her shoulder and back, her breath was shallow and ragged. Leo hurried up besides the sisters and held his hands over Prue's wounds.
He could feel her life ebbing away, focusing, a golden glow surrounded Leo's hands. At first there didn't seem to be any change in Prue's wounds, but after a minute or two the cuts began to heal and the bruises disappeared. Phoebe starred at her sister, fear and concern evident in her chocolate-brown eyes.
Pheobe and Piper watched their sister's face, hoping, praying to see her blue eyes staring back at them. Leo placed a gentle hand on Piper's and Phoebe's shoulders.
"We should get her out of the rain," he said quietly.
Piper nodded numbly and Phoebe tightened her grip on her sister's shoulders when Leo tried to pick her up.
"Pheebs let Leo carry her," Piper said. "We need to get her and us out of here. Otherwise we'll all end up with colds."
Phoebe didn't respond to her sister's words, but she did loosen her grip on Prue allowing Leo to take her into his arms. Getting to their feet, Piper and Phoebe held onto Leo's arms as he orbed them out of the clearing.
He smiled evilly as he saw the sisters reach Prue's body. She was practically dead, and he knew that even if she did somehow manage to live through this ordeal she'd be broken for a while. The demon sighed as he looked at his claws; Prue's blood still tinged his nails.
A shiver ran through his body as he remembered the cry of agony Prue had let lose when she felt his claws rip through her flesh. He turned his attention back to the Charmed Ones, and watched quietly as their whitelighter took Prue into his arms and orbed off with the younger sisters holding onto his arms.
'Just you wait,' the demon thought maliciously. 'I'll come after you again should you recover, and once you're out of the way, your sisters are next. Prue Halliwell.'
Then the demon shimmered off into the rain, as night began to claim the city.
Phoebe sat on the couch in the living room, wrapped in a blanket and in her pajamas. Piper came into the living room followed by Leo. Piper had two mugs of hot chocolate in her hands while Leo carried his own. Sitting down next to Phoebe, Piper handed her sister one of the warm mugs while Leo sat in one of the arm chairs. Phoebe took it with a small smile of appreciation to Piper.
"So, how is she?" Phoebe asked, half fearing the answer.
"Still sleeping," Leo said. "But all of her wounds have been healed."
Phoebe looked into her mug forlornly; tears began to fill her eyes again.
"It's all my fault." Phoebe whispered. "If I hadn't told her I wanted her out of my life then this wouldn't have happened."
"Oh, sweetie," Piper said, placing her mug on the coffee table and pulling Phoebe into a gentle embrace. "You know how you and Prue get when you guys fight."
"But that still doesn't give me the right to say that," Phoebe whimpered. "We almost lost her Piper-"
"But we didn't and that's all that matters." Piper said sternly. "Now drink your hot chocolate before it gets cold."
The cold was gone, so was the pain...
Blue eyes fluttered open as their owner looked around the familiar (but dark) room in a sleepy daze. Prue winced slightly as she sat up in her bed, her muscles felt sore and tired.
'Well that's what you get for letting that creep sneak up on you,' Prue lectured herself. 'How did I get back home, anyways?'
Prue felt her heart jolt when the sound of her sisters' voices reached her ears, muffled by her closed door. Pain seared through Prue's chest as she remembered the words that had driven her from the refuge of her childhood home. Tears burned in Prue's eyes, and silently trailed down her cheeks.
'What happened to us Pheebs?' Prue asked herself. 'What caused us to be like this?'
Thunder clapped shaking the house; lightning flashed temporarily lighting up Prue's room. Prue heard the sound of foot steps coming up the stairs and down the hallway towards her room.
Prue lied back down in bed with her back facing the door and the covers pulled up to her chin. Slowing her breath to an even and deep pace Prue waited as she heard her door open quietly.
"Prue?" her baby sister whispered.
Pain, this time fiercer then before. Phoebe sighed almost inaudibly and quietly closed the door as she headed back down stairs. Mean while tears cascaded down Prue's face as she fought to understand why she and Phoebe had drifted so far apart.
