Chapter 2: Asking for help

HOW IT CAME TO BE

Phoebe woke up only to find a demon in her room. She jumped up and levitated, as she tried to kick it but the demon moved out of her way and she hit the wall and got knocked out for a bit. Phoebe came to right when the demon was about to kill her, as she kicked it and fell hard backwards, as she took it off guard. She was going to call for help but hoped that she would be able to deal with it on her own. When Phoebe knocked the demon hard she began to think that it was too easy, so she didn't need any help at all. Yet, the demon got up and advanced at her. Ye, Phoebe didn't budge, as she tried to hit the demon again, but was only knocked down, which made the demon advance at her more. That began to scare her, but she still refused to get help, even if she knew that it was rather a dumb move.

Phoebe thought that even in that case, she still had a chance to deal with it herself. When the demon sent an ice ball thingy at her, she tried to deflect it but she was wounded at that point, as it was only then when she realized that she was hurt from bumping into a wall and crashing hard on the ground previously. Since Phoebe used adrenaline to fight, she didn't even realize how badly hurt she was but at that moment, as soon as she realized she called for help. Even though it was rather too late for that. By the time Piper, Paige, Leo and Prue arrived it was too late. Piper managed to eventually blow up the demon but not save Phoebe. Paige, Prue and Leo had no idea how to unfreeze Phoebe either. As for book of shadows, it had a potential to help, but when Piper and Paige tried they were unknowingly to them blocked, which made their spell backfire on them. Which instead of helping took them to the past. While Leo and Prue tried to get help and information needed from the elders but with no luck.

As everyone was rather confused by it, just like they themselves were.

AT THE MOMENT IN THE PAST

Kung Lao, Taja and Siro as well as Raiden watched them closely not sure what to think. They no longer thought that they were enemies but that was all. Also, they were still curious who they were, but they could tell that they needed help as they run over and looked at the young woman who was frozen. As they exchanged looks and then they looked over at the one in ice once more.

They had no idea what to think or believe. Paige and Piper thought that they were going to attack them at first but then when they realized that it wasn't the case, they calmed down. As the 4 checked them, to make sure that they were hurt their shook their heads.

"No need, we are fine. It's our sister that needs help, not us," Piper said, once the 4 asked them if they were alright or hurt too. Then they all concentrated on Phoebe and how to possibly unfreeze her. They were all very confused by it. "Did you get attacked or did she get attacked by someone named Sub Zero?" Kung Lao asked, as Raiden wondered that too and the other two as well. As it was all rather confusing for them, to say the least.

At that Question both Phoebe and Piper exchanged looks rather confused as they then looked over at them, with the same confused look on their faces as before. "No, not that we know what or who that is. We are not even sure what it was that attacked our sister, "Paige said.

Piper just nodded at that. "Well, I only heard a scream while I was cooking in the kitchen. The next thing I knew there was something in our sister's room and she was frozen, as she is right now! I by luck eventually got rid of whatever the hell it was in my sister's room. Also, I was scratched but it's not too bad but it's my sister, well our sister we are worried about as we have no idea how to unfreeze her! Do you?" she said as she looked at them all, as did Paige who looked at her and then at the ones in front of them. "Can you help?" Paige asked. "We are not sure how, but we will do the best we can to help you," Raiden said as Kung Lao, Siro and Taja agreed with him on it. Even if they had no idea how to help them exactly but they planned to try either way, no matter what. They planned to find out a way to help them.

"Taja, take them inside, while we get their sister in," Kung Lao said as he turned to Taja. "On it," was all Taja said as she led Piper and Paige in. They felt like they could trust them all, even if they didn't get it but they tried not to think of that as they followed the red haired young woman inside. Once inside she made them some food and drink as they talked.

Meanwhile, the guys grabbed a hold on the frozen young woman and dragged her inside, even if it wasn't an easy thing to do but then did that anyway.

Also, due to her being frozen she weighted more than she normally did, which definitely made sense, a lot of sense. At least it did to them. It took the guys a while but eventually they got her inside.

Once inside they looked at each other and back at her, as they tried to figure out how to possibly unfreeze her once and for all. To say that it wasn't an easy thing to do was an understandment of the century. "Man, never seen anyone do that. Except perhaps Sub Zero but if what they say is true, then it's not him but if not him then who, that is the question," Kung Lao said, as Siro and Raiden definitely agreed with him about it. It was way too weird, at least for them it was way too weird anyway. There was no doubt there. They tried to figure it all out, as none of it made any sense to them. They weren't even sure how the three women even arrived to where they were. However, for the time being they tried not to think of that. As they instead focus of unfreezing the sister of the two.

They all wished that they knew what exactly happened so that they would know how to help and how to unfreeze her. Yet, since neither of them knew for sure what had happened, other than the obvious, it made it hard for them to figure out how to help. However, they weren't giving up no matter what as it was their job to help people after all. Those young women included. Siro thought that they were beautiful but avoided flirting with them, at least for now, especially since Raiden and Kung Lao stopped him from doing that. Kung Lao thought that they were beautiful too but avoided thinking about it, as he didn't plan to do anything about it, not now nor later. As he didn't think or believe that it was the right thing to do, no matter what. Besides, if he was meant to be with either of them then only time would tell but he seriously doubted it. For the time being it didn't matter to him one way or another. The fact that they needed help was all that mattered to them.

While the guys tried to help, Taja sat by Piper as she listened to the sisters and tried to help them feel better. Even if she knew it wasn't an easy thing to do but if they panicked and such it won't help their sister and she knew it, like she knew that no doubt they knew it too. Which was why she tried to help them calm down and feel better, even if just a bit, but it was better than nothing, or so she believed at least.

Taja wished that she could do something so that they won't go through that, just like she had no doubt that the guys hoped that too. Even if she knew like they did that unfortunately they couldn't do nothing to change it. All they could do was try and help them, which was exactly what they tried to do. No matter how hard it was for them to do. They all felt bad for the young women that just arrived to where they were, but they couldn't change it, only do anything that they possibly could to help, which was what they tried to do. Even if it was hard. They tried not to think of that, and instead focused on what they could do to help them, even if it wasn't easy.

"By the way, how did you guys get here?" Taja asked them over sudden as both sisters shrugged, not sure what to say, especially since they didn't really get it themselves.

"We really have no idea. We are trying to figure it out ourselves too," Piper said, as Paige nodded in agreement.

"I see, it just happened out the blue?" Taja asked as she looked between them.

Piper and Paige nodded to that.

"I am sorry to hear that," she said to them. "Thanks, and thanks for willing to help. We don't know what we would do without you, any of you," Piper said as Paige agreed with her.

"You are welcome, and don't worry I assure you that you would never have to find out," Taja said to them, as she meant it, as always. "Thank you," both Piper and Paige said to her together. "You are welcome, it is our pleasure to help. Besides, it is who we are and what we do, anyway," Taja said to them. After that they started to talk about other things.

As they did that, the guys continued to try and figure it out. Kung Lao got an idea, as he left and then brought over his sheets, as Siro saw him and he with Raiden exchanged looks and then walked over to Kung Lao and helped him, even if they had no clue what he was planning to do. Until they finally realized what he was doing. "You are trying to use the sheets to warm her up, don't you, Kung Lao?" Siro asked, with a proud smile. Kung Lao nodded to that with a smile of his own, as Raiden smiled at them, as he too found it as a good, that might work. They all hoped that it would work, as they didn't want her to die and knew that she would if nothing worked, and that wasn't an option to anyone, and they all knew it rather well. They tried not to think of that as they wrapped her with the sheet.

They held it well, right around her and hoped for the best, even if they had no idea one way or another if it would work or not but hoped for the best. While they did that Taja took Piper and Paige to her room to rest, as she stayed with them until they finally fell asleep, and then went to check on the guys and see if they had any luck with unfreezing the young woman.

As she got to where the guys were she saw what they were doing and just stood there and watched as she too hoped it worked. It had better work or like the guys she had no clue what to say to the young woman sisters. Taja didn't feel like being the bringer of bad news, just like she knew that the guys didn't feel like being the bringers of bad news either.

Which was why she hoped and prayed in her own way, for things to be fine and that the young woman would be fine, and that the young woman would reunite with her sisters.

It was what she wanted and wished to happen, as did the guys, she had no doubt about that.
