It was all over pretty quickly, Prue and the Banshee were gone almost as soon as Prue had been attacked.
"What just happened?" Phoebe asked, confused.
"Prue just got taken by the Banshee" Piper, also confused, stated. "But it seemed like she could hear the Banshee, but that's impossible, right? I thought you said that only the intended victim could hear it and only if the victim was in emotional pain"
"That's what the book said" Phoebe replied, looking even more confused. Now that it was all over and the Banshee and Prue were gone, it settled in Prue was taken by a monster and they had to save her. Piper was scared, Prue was the oldest and the leader, she always told them what to do in these situations.
"What are we going to do?" Piper asked, breathing heavily, she wanted to faint but she knew she couldn't, she had to stay alert for Prue's sake. Phoebe must have been able to tell that Piper wasn't well so she said in a steady voice, "Piper, here is what we are going to do, we are going to look through the book and see if we can find out any more about Banshees while you go and rest, you don't look well". Piper didn't feel well either but she wasn't going to say that, the truth was that she hadn't been feeling well for a while now and she kept feeling nausea and vomiting but she hadn't told her sisters, how could she? They were always battling demons and warlocks and whatever other monsters that wanted to kill them. And anyway, it was most likely the flu or something like that, she had a nagging suspicion but she didn't want to even think about that. She was just about to argue with Phoebe when a big roll of nausea came over her and she ran for the bathroom and vomited, she heard Phoebe's voice yelling out to her in concern but she couldn't hear her over the sound of vomit.
"Piper, oh my god, are you ok?" Phoebe came and help Piper wash her mouth and herself off.
"Yeah, I think it's just the flu" Piper let Phoebe lead her to the couch and sat down.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Phoebe still sounded concerned.
"I'm sure but just to put your mind at ease I'll lay down for a little while" Piper wasn't usually one for doing as others said but she felt really sick and didn't want to vomit again.
Phoebe picked up the book, her mind still on Piper, Phoebe hoped she would get better soon, she couldn't go up against the Banshee by herself, and she needed Piper's freezing powers. Phoebe found the page on Banshees and quickly scanned it, according to the book, the only way that Prue could turn back into a human is for her to express how she truly feels and the reason behind the emotional pain she is in. If only they knew, Phoebe hadn't even known Prue was upset, she felt like such a bad sister. The loud ringing of the phone interrupted her thoughts.
"I'll get it" She yelled to Piper as she grabbed the phone and said hello.
"Phoebe? It's Andy" Andy voice sounded sad and desperate.
"Oh hi Andy, umm Prue isn't here right now" Phoebe wasn't in the mood to make up some lame excuse.
"She isn't?" Disappointment filled Andy's voice.
"I'll pass on a message for you if you want"
"Ok can you tell her it isn't what it looks like, my ex-wife and I were having dinner as friends and nothing else I promise"
Phoebe was surprised, to say the least, she hadn't even known Andy had gotten married, let alone divorced. But this was no time to let Andy know Prue hadn't told them, "Ok Andy I'll pass it on but I have to go now, bye" she hung up, feeling like she was much closer to getting Prue back, she now knew the reason behind Prue's sadness.
Piper woke up, still lying on the couch, and with a major headache, when had she fallen asleep?
"Piper, I found her!" Phoebe ran into the lounge room and almost sat on Piper.
"What? You found Prue, where?" Piper was confused from her little nap and was now trying to wake herself up properly.
"No not Prue, I found the Banshee, which guess is the same thing if Prue is still with her and I found out why Prue was in 'emotional pain', she had caught Andy and his ex-wife having dinner together and she was really crushed because I think she may love Andy" Phoebe babbled on.
"Wait, what? Andy was married" Piper interrupted.
"Yeah he was but not anymore and I know how to turn Prue back but it may take us some time considering that Prue isn't one to express her emotions, especially in front of us" Piper's mind started to wander as she let Phoebe continue, she could swear she heard a noise just outside the house but she wasn't sure. There it was again, she knew that sound and if it really was what she thought it was them she better warn Phoebe.
"…then all we have to do is..."
"Stop, Phoebe, do you hear that?" The rustling noise was becoming louder and before Piper knew what was happening, a pale girl with dark hair, bright red eyes and long nails, came bursting in through the door. Piper suddenly felt herself being covered in a sticky, white, stringy substance and saw a look of horror on Phoebe's face as she tried to fight of the girl but it was too late, Piper was completely covered in the white string and felt herself being pulled away.
Phoebe tried to stop the Spider Demon, she had recognized it the moment it had come into the house, but she couldn't and now Piper and Prue were gone. Phoebe knew she wasn't strong enough to save them, she was the only one without a physical power, and the power of premonition wasn't exactly going to get rid of the demons. Phoebe wanted to cry but she knew she couldn't, she would have to go after Prue first since she was closer to finding her than she was Piper and once she saved Prue, she knew together they would be able to save Piper.
