Thank you for the reviews, I tried to finish this chapter asap!
Leo walked around the gardens at the back of the hospital. He didn't know how this was happening. The love of his life was fighting to stay alive and there was nothing he could do to help her. He sat down on one of the benches and placed his head in his hands.
Why, he thought, Why is this happening?
"Why did you do this?!" he screamed at the sky, he didn't expect an answer, so wasn't surprised when he didn't get one. He did however get a horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach, and he knew it was Piper. He raced inside to where his heart was telling him to go and a whole new fear came over him when he saw all the doctors. But the thing that was stuck inside his head was the loud beep that rang around the room. He stood frozen to the spot as the doctors tried to resuscitate Piper.
Ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
Prue's head shot up at the loud beeping sound that echoed off the walls.
"Piper! Piper! No, no, no, you're okay, don't die on me, you can't die on me!" She rocked back and forth, whispering to Piper.
Phoebe just stared at her sister, watching as she fought for her life. She looked at Prue who kept repeating the same words over and over. She backed away from the bed, shaking her head, her eyes fixed on the white form of her usually strong older sister.
Her gaze broke as doctors rushed in the room, trying their best to keep Piper alive. She stared at the heart monitor, the line flat, her hope slowly fading away with each flat lined beep. She saw Leo arrive at the door, frozen just like she was, but his stare was on Piper, then Prue who just kept repeating those words, no matter how much the doctors asked her to move.
She felt her heart sink to her stomach, when the doctor moved away from the bed and asked for the time, the doctor looked at his watch and opened his mouth when the line on the heart monitor changed, a high pitched beep sounding. Phoebe's heart pounded, she saw Leo, sigh in relief and Prue stop muttering her words.
"What, how is that possible. She was dead…" Phoebe didn't wait to hear the rest, she stood from the chair and limped over to the bed. Tears poured down her cheeks but she didn't care this time it was from joy.
"Oh, thank god." She threw her arms around Piper's neck and hugged her.
"Phoebs." She looked up thinking it was Prue that spoke but one look saw that Prue wasn't looking at her, she was staring somewhere else. She followed the gaze and her eyes met those of her big sister.
"Phoebe. What happened?" Piper managed to rasp out, her voice hoarse.
"Piper, oh Piper, I am so glad to see your eyes."
"Why would you be glad to see my eyes. Wait, where am I." She looked around and saw Prue sitting there staring at her in shock. She saw the white walls and the IV in her arm. It didn't take a genius to figure out she was in hospital, then she remembered the morning's events and the earthquakes. Her eyes darted around the room where they met those of her boyfriend.
"Hey you." He said as he saw her looking at him.
"Hi." She said smiling.
She tried to move her hand to push some hair out of her eyes. She went to lift it only to find it held firmly in place by Prue's own hand.
"Prue. Prue you okay?" she asked seeing Prue staring blankly at her.
"How could you?"
"What? Prue what do you mean?" Piper asked softly.
"How could you die. We're supposed to be here with each other forever. Remember! How could you leave?!"
"Prue it's not like I chose to die. It's not something we control, plus I'm alive now that's all that matters."
"No it's not! You could have fought a bit harder but you didn't!" Phoebe sat there staring at the way Prue yelled at their sister. She looked at the way Piper's heart monitor started to beep louder, her heart getting agitated as she got upset.
"Prue stop it! You're not helping, don't work out all your problems on her just because it's easier."
"Whatever Phoebe." Prue got up, ripping her hand away from Pipers and stormed out of the hospital room.
Phoebe sighed in defeat as Piper leaned against her pillow closing her eyes.
"I'm going to go see if she's all right." She kissed Piper on the cheek. "Get better sweetie."
Leo moved out of the way for Phoebe and moved over to Piper. He leant don and kissed her on the lips.
"How are you baby."
"I feel like crap. Everything hurts like hell, my sister hates me, and I don't know what to do." She let tears slip from her eyes, and Leo reached up to wipe them away.
"Just give Prue time. She blames herself for what happened."
"How could she blame herself, she wasn't there, there was nothing she could do to help."
"But she feels like it's her job to protect you, and in her eyes she failed. So she's taking her anger out on you."
"Ugghh, I'm just glad it's all over. Now we can get back to our normal lives." She smiled, "Well, normal for us." Leo smiled at her.
"The elders are calling so I have to go. I've already ignored most of their calls."
"Okay , be back as soon as you can. Love you." He bent over her and kissed her on the lips before checking no one was around and orbing out.
Cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
Phoebe followed Prue down the hallway and into an empty room.
"Prue, honey. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" she snapped at her sister, instantly regretting it at the hurt look on her Phoebe's face. "I'm sorry, it's just, I swore when I was younger that I would protect you two forever, not let anything hurt you and I failed. You almost died, and Piper did die a few times."
"Prue we're okay now. Things like this happen, you can't be there all the time, there are something's even the mighty Prue Halliwell can't stop. One of them being mother nature." Prue smiled at her baby sister.
"I guess you're right. I hope Piper's not too mad at me, I can't believe I blamed her for dying. Thanks Phoebs." She hugged her little sister.
"Your welcome. Come on lets get back to Piper before she worries." She wrapped her arm around Prue then they headed down the hallway together.
"Aren't you supposed to be in a wheel chair?" She raised her eyebrow at Phoebe.
"Please. I don't need to be pushed around, I'm fine as I am."
Then for the third time that day, the ground beneath their feet shook.
