Up There

"Ben," Prue murmured the name of the boy, as Lara disappeared in a swarm of white and blue orbs. "She... She trapped his soul. Sandra, she trapped his soul..."

Sandra looked dumbfounded at Prue. Lara was able to access the Upper Regions, through her orbing power. "She orbed here," she said in disbelief. "She managed to access our home... We need to talk to the others!"

"We need to save Benjamin!" Prue snapped at her. "Sandra, she captured his soul, he's trapped in a crystal! We need to free him!"

Sandra sighed. She knew Prue was desperate to save Benjamin. She was raising him and was playing a large role in his afterlife. The boy was really powerful and needed guidance, training. The former witch was the perfect person to be his mentor. She was brave and wise enough to teach him to be a Whitelighter. And obviously the young boy started to regard her as his mother.

"We'll save him, Prue! I promise you, but we need to talk to the others. We need to block her access here! If she manages to open the gate to the afterlife, she'll catch all the souls in the Heavens," the Elder said.

Prue rubbed her temples. "Okay," she said with a sigh. "Let's talk to the others."

Halliwell manor

Phoebe's old room

Paige helped Phoebe to lay in her bed. "You need to rest," the youngest Halliwell sister said softly.

Phoebe rested her head on the pillow and closed her eyes. "Paige..." she murmured.

"It's okay, sweetie," Paige said. "I'll go back to the attic to help Piper to..."

"No," Phoebe murmured, opening her eyes. "Paige, listen to me... Don't send Cole back to the void. I just... I can't let him leave..."

Paige sat down next to her. "What did you see?" she asked and, as her sister looked at her inquiringly, she continued. "I know you had a premonition, Phoebs..."

Phoebe turned her head away.

"Phoebe..." Paige raised an eyebrow.

"I saw a baby..." Phoebe muttered, still without looking at her sister. "A little baby girl in Cole's arms..."

Paige swallowed hard. So her sister saw a future for Cole, a future where he wasn't alone and lost. "So..." she coughed a little. "Cole will be father..."

Phoebe quietly nodded. "She was so pretty and tiny in his arms..." she said with teary eyes.

"Oh... no, no, no," Paige winced, as she made the connection. "It's not possible!"

"That baby was mine," Phoebe admitted, her eyes full of tears. "Don't ask me how, but Cole and I..."

Paige shook her head. "Cole needs to go back to the void. Now!" she said, storming out of the room.

"Paige!" Phoebe called her, holding her belly.

Attic

"Are you okay?" Piper asked, as Cole rested his hand over his heart, his face contorted in visible pain.

Cole breathed hard. His heart was aching. "There's something wrong," he shook his head.

Piper walked to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Let me help you," she said, leading him to a chair.

"Something happened," Cole said, as he sat on the chair. "I can feel it..."

Piper frowned. "What's happening?"

He shook his head. "I don't know, but there's something wrong," he said and breathed hard.

Piper raised an eyebrow. She didn't trust Cole. "If you're lying to me..."

"I'm not lying," Cole said, looking at her.

Piper was about to say something when a woman orbed in.

It was Sandra.

"Cole?" the female Elder asked in surprise, as she saw him next to Piper. "What? How..."

"Long story," Piper sighed.

Sandra shook her head. "well, I don't care... Something happened. I know your sister is hurt because of Coop's death, but we really need your help," she said and her voice seemed sad.

"What happened?" Cole asked.

Sandra swallowed. "Lara trapped another soul... She went to the Upper Regions, using her orbing power and she captured a soul. The Elders are trying to find a way to protect our place from Lara, but we need to stop her..."

Cole picked himself up, breathing hard. "Where's Ben?" he asked in concern.

Sandra looked at him and shook her head. "I'm sorry... Lara was fast and captured him."

"No..." Cole stepped back, his hand over his heart. He knew something was wrong. He could feel it.

It was Benjamin.

Sandra gently touched Piper's hand. "We really need your help, Piper... We need to stop Lara!"

The Charmed One looked up at the Elder and nodded. "I'll talk to my sisters..."
