Phoebe, Piper, Paige, and Billie were all sitting in Phoebe's apartment. Paige, who was now nine months pregnant was sitting in the chair with her feet propped up on the coffee table. Phoebe was sitting on the chair opposite of Paige, with Rowan asleep on her lap. Piper and Billie were sitting on the couch between the two pregnant sisters.
"Guys. It's been a month since we've heard anything from her. How do we know she's alright?" Phoebe asked. It had been almost five months since Kai had gone to the Underworld. Time had passed relatively quickly for everyone. While they knew that Kai could take care of herself, they were starting to get worried.
"She's immortal, Pheebs. Don't worry so much. You'll get wrinkles." Paige said as she flipped through a baby magazine.
"That doesn't make it any easier. Have you heard anything Rowan?" Phoebe questioned as she petted the cat. Rowan stretched.
No, I haven't. From what I understand, the last time any of us have had contact with her was when she was in Brazil. Nalla said that she had stopped by to check on things while she was searching for whoever the Noxon demon was working for. Rowan explained.
"She was in Brazil, but she couldn't check in." Phoebe threw her hands up in frustration. Sighing, she picked Rowan up and stood. Placing the cat where she once sat, Phoebe walked to the kitchen.
"Relax Phoebe. She probably doesn't want to attract anything to us." Paige said as she slowly made her way to her sister. Paige was half way to the kitchen when she stopped. Her eyes grew wide.
"Uh guys…"
"Yeah?" Piper asked as she looked toward the youngest sister. Realization dawned on Piper and she jumped up. "OH god. Your water broke! We've gotta get you to the hospital."
"Ya think?" Paige replied sarcastically. Placing her hands on her stomach, she began to breathe faster.
"Okay. Okay. We can do this. Let's get you downstairs. Pheebs, call Henry and let him know what's going on." Piper ordered as she helped her sister out of the apartment. Phoebe stood there in shock.
"Phoebe? Phoebe!" Billie yelled. Phoebe shook her head and looked at the blonde.
"Sorry." Phoebe said as she pulled out her phone. Searching through her contacts as quickly as she could, she dialed Henry's number. After six rings, her brother-in-law picked up the phone.
"Finally! Paige needs you at the hospital. Her water broke." Phoebe said quickly. Henry yelled something that Phoebe couldn't quite make out before hanging up. "Okay Henry's taken care of. Let's get going."
Uh Phoebe. Rowan said.
"Yeah?"
I think I just found Kai…
Phoebe was about to question, until she heard the thud come from the living room. Before she could question to what the noise was, she heard Billie cry out.
Kai cursed under her breath. She was tired, cranky, and dirty. She had been in the Underworld for almost five months. She had finally found the Noxon demon. Currently, she was standing over the demon. He had refused to cooperate with her at first, and she had made him suffer for it.
"For the last time. Just tell me who you're working for and I won't cut your arm off completely." Kai growled as a samurai sword materialized in her hand. She placed the blade above his collar bone. "Don't make me ask again."
The demon spit at Kai. Losing the little patients she had, she pushed on the sword. She could feel the blade slice through his bone. The demon cried out in pain. "Just tell me who your boss is and I'll end it!" Kai yelled.
The demon tried to move, but Kai kept him in place. Realizing that he wasn't going to beat the woman, he gave in. "Abaddon. I work for Abaddon." Before Kai could question him any farther, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Looking down, Kai could see an athame sticking out of her stomach. Kai pulled the athame out. Looking straight ahead, she could see the figure of a man.
"You." Kai growled as she held her wound. Her sword had dematerialized and the demon had shimmered out.
"Hello Kai. Long time no see." The figure stepped out of the shadows. He was tall and had a good build. He had black hair that hung down to the bridge of his nose. His eyes were blood red. He offered a charming smile as he studied Kai.
"You and I both know that that athame won't kill you. But I do enjoy that it does slow down your healing. How have you been by the way? It's been what, a hundred years?" The man asked.
"Stuff it Abaddon. I have nothing to say to you. Leave the sisters alone. They're not a part of this." Kai growled. She was getting dizzy.
"But that's where you're wrong. They're your friends, so that makes them free game."
"This isn't a damn game!" Kai shouted. She began swaying back and forth. Abaddon seemed to notice immediately.
"You're wrong. This has been a game the whole time. And this is a game I will win." Abaddon tilted his head to the side. "You should go. Wouldn't want you to pass out in the Underworld." He chuckled.
"Go jump off a bridge." Kai hated to admit it, but he was right. If she were to pass out now, God only knows what would happen. Let alone passing out near him. Deciding that it would be better for everyone if she left, Kai began to shimmer out. As she left, she could hear Abaddon speak.
"Oh, and I'll be in touch soon."
Kai shimmered to the first place that came to mind. Phoebe's apartment. She appeared in the living room. The last thing Kai remembered was falling and hearing Billie's cry before her world went black.
