A/N: This is a play on the all too common phrase, "get a life."

P3Halliwell329: Okay, last chapter for the sequel tonight. ;) Besides, it isn't like I have much of a "life" anyway. :rolls eyes: Don't worry, this will get better in the next chapter...

Family Affair

Chapter 2: Get A Life Force

"No! My baby!" Piper cried out. Tears began to stream from her face. "We..we have to get her back!" Piper cried.

Prue rushed to Piper's side. "Piper, we will, I promise!" Prue said, as she hugged her little sister.

Paige looked over at Penny and Patty. "Mom, Grams...Can you watch Pearl while we got after the demon that took Phiona?" Paige asked.

Penny nodded. "Of course." Penny replied.

"Pearl?" Patty called.

Pearl was still staring at the spot where Phiona had disappeared. "Grandma Patty, we have to go find cousin Phiona..." Pearl said, not once looking away from the spot.

"Pearl, that's what your mommy and aunts are going to do." Patty said. "Why don't you come with me and we'll go look at potion recipes?" She suggested.

"No...I want to go help get Phiona back." Pearl muttered.

"Pearl, no. We have to go find her, alone." Paige interjected.

The little girl seemed very agitated. "No! I want to help!" Pearl yelled. A ball of glowing white light, appeared in her hand. Pearl threw it at the floor.

"Whoa!" Prue yelled. She flicked her wrist and sent the front doors flying open.

"Light ball!" Paige called. The ball of light orbed out, before it could hit the floor, and orbed in, outside. It exploded in mid air, but no damage was caused. "Pearl!" Paige shouted. "Go to your room, now!" Paige scolded.

"No!" Pearl spoke, in a stern tone.

Oh..this is not good... Prue thought, as she watched the growing battle between mother and child.

Paige orbed out.

Pearl knew what her mother was up to, but didn't know when she'd strike. Suddenly she saw orbs appear next to her and before she had a chance to run, Paige appeared.

Paige grabbed Pearl's arm and orbed them out.

----

Paige orbed Pearl into Pearl's bedroom. Paige quickly orbed out again.

Paige orbed in, outside Pearl's door.

Pearl was running towards the door when she saw her mother orb in.

"Door!" Paige yelled. The door orbed out and then orbed in, shut.

Pearl reached the door just as it orbed in, shut in her face.

"With the power of a Charmed One, I place a magic lock upon this room, that only by me, may be undone; we may enter, she must stay, within thy lock, she must remain!" Paige recited. A bright, purple light surrounded Pearl's room and then vanished. Paige orbed out.

Pearl opened the door and went to run out, but was shoved back, and landed on the floor. "No!" Pearl yelled. A white ball of light appeared in her hand and she hurled it at the shield. There was a loud bang, but the shield was still there.

----

Paige orbed in. "I locked her, magically, in her room." Paige informed everyone. She turned to Piper. "Now, for Phiona...We should check the Book of Shadows." Paige said. Paige orbed out.

----

Paige orbed in, next to the Book of Shadows. She picked it up and orbed out.

----

Paige orbed in, with the book in her hands. "Demon who took Phiona!" Paige shouted. In a swirl of orbs the book vanished and moments later, it orbed back in, in Paige's arms. She looked at the page. "'Electros. A high level demon who captures young witches and feeds off their life energy.' He has power of electricity and every time he sucks the energy, life force, of a witch he becomes more powerful." Paige said, as she held up the book for everyone to see.

"How do we find her?" Piper asked, as she wiped her eyes with a tissue, that Prue had given her.

"It says that he frequently spends his time in places with massive amounts of electrical energy...Above ground." Paige said.

"Then, we can have Leo or you sense for her?" Piper asked.

"No, we'll need to scry. He uses his power of electricity to make electrical fields that block out 'human, magical radar'. Meaning since we have actual powers that can sense her, it won't work, but the scrying crystal will." Paige explained.

Phoebe turned to Cole. "Can you go get the scrying crystal?" She asked. "It's in the attic, on one of the shelves." She explained.

Cole nodded. "Of course." He said, then he shimmered out.

Phoebe looked around the room. There weren't many people at her wedding, but all of them knew of her magic. They would have to leave though, except her father of course. Phoebe walked over to Victor Bennett, her father, who is mortal. "Dad...I have to ask you a favor." Phoebe said.

"Yes, anything." Victor replied.

"Can you usher everyone out of the Manor? We can't continue the wedding with Phiona missing." Phoebe said.

Victor nodded. "Yes, of course, it it'll help get Phiona back." Victor said, as he walked away to go help everyone leave.

Phoebe walked back over to her sisters.

Cole shimmered in with the map and scrying crystal.

"Piper needs to do the scrying, since it is her daughter, that way it'll work better." Prue said. She telekinetically pulled the map from Cole's hands and sent it to the living room table. Prue walked Piper into the living room and sat her down on the sofa, in front of the map.

Cole walked over to Piper and handed her the scrying crystal.

Piper held the crystal over the map and watched it spin around.

"Is there a vanquishing spell or potion?" Prue asked, as she looked at Paige.

"Yeah, a spell." Paige said.

----

Phiona's eyes fluttered open. Her body ached and she couldn't move her hands, which was the only way she could active her power. Oh no...Where am I? Phiona thought, as she looked around the room. At first everything seemed really blurry and then it began to clear up. She saw a huge demon, the one that had taken her. She gulped.

The demon noticed that Phiona was awake. He held open his palms and sent more streams of energy into the air. It hit a neon yellow shield around them and the energy began to make a sickening, crackle. Then he turned to Phiona. "You're energetic life force will be mine!" He said, coldly.

----

The crystal landed on the map. "It landed!" Piper exclaimed. She looked down at the map. "It's the power plant down town! Does anyone know where that is?" Piper asked.

Cole nodded. "I do, I've been there a few times." Cole said. He held out his hands. "Make a circle and I can shimmer you there." He said.

Phoebe immediately took Cole's hand.

Piper stood up and took Cole's other hand. "Come on!" Piper said, as she stared at Prue and Paige.

Prue and Paige reluctantly joined the circle.

Cole shimmered them out.

----

Cole shimmered everyone into a small room within the power plant.

Piper could hear small cries and screams. "Phiona!" Piper said. Piper ran to the door, leading out of the room, and the screams grew louder. She turned and ran down the left of the hall and the screams seemed to grow quieter. "To the right!" Piper yelled, as she raced back down the hall, in the opposite direction.

Prue, Phoebe, and Paige raced out of the room after her.

Cole shimmered out, to go find Leo, in case Phiona needed healing.

Piper strained to listen for her daughter's screams. "Phiona!" Piper yelled out.

Prue rushed up behind Piper. "No, if the demon hears you, he might hurt her even more!" Prue scolded, in a hushed tone.

Phiona wiggled with all her might to try and get away, but nothing worked. Then she heard Piper's voice. "Mommy!" She yelled.

The demon had heard Piper as well. "No!" He said, as he turned and began to walk to Phiona.

"Mommy help!" Phiona screamed. "Auntie Prue!" Phiona cried out. She shivered as the demon came closer to her.

Piper could clearly hear her daughter now. She ran into a hall with four doors. "Phiona!" Piper yelled, forgetting Prue's warning.

"Mommy!" Phiona cried out, again.

Piper ran to the door where she heard the cry coming from and flicked her wrists, exploding the door. Piper rushed in. Her eyes became wide as she saw her daughter tied to a metal pole and a huge, shield of neon yellow energy surrounding her daughter and the demon. Piper flicked her wrists, trying to explode the shield. Her blast hit the shield and then bounced back. Bolts of electricity shot from the shield and into Piper, sending her crashing into the wall, just as her sisters entered.

Paige orbed out and then her orbs hit the shield. The shield sent a powerful blast of electricity through Paige's orbs and then her orbs hit the wall, Paige appeared on the ground; unconscious.

Phoebe tried to channel the demon's emotions but the electrical shield wouldn't allow her power to work!

The demon held out his palm and shot a powerful bolt of electricity at Phiona, enough to kill her with one hit!

TO BE CONTIUNUED...
