Prue gripped the sword so hard she thought her hand would begin to bleed. She steadied her hand and moved the sword closer to Phoebe's neck.
Phoebe didn't flinch when the blade nicked her. A thin line of blood appeared and then slowly trickled down.
Prue's heart broke again. She dropped the sword. It clattered as it hit the ground.
Piper and Leo rushed over to Phoebe and they all watched as Prue took a few steps back and just stared at the blood on Phoebe's neck.
Prue fell to her knees and began to cry. She did not cry normal tears, however. The black, oil-like liquid began to trickle from her eyes. It oozed out slowly and slid down Prue's face. It dripped down onto the ground and seeped through.
Piper, Phoebe, and Leo just watched. They had no idea what was happening.
The black liquid began to mix with real tears, then after a minute or so, there was not a trace of the black on Prue's face. Now she was only crying real tears.
She collapsed forward and began to cry loudly. She had lost everything. Lierre. She cried even louder. He was gone. Forever. All because of her.
"Let's go home." Piper said quietly.
* * At the manor * *
Once the group appeared in the manor, they suddenly regretted returning to that exact spot. They all froze when they saw Paige's lifeless body. Prue shook her head and cried even harder.
"No, no, no, no, no, no." Prue repeated over and over, then went and kneeled next to Paige's body.
Prue picked up Paige's hand and rubbed it, then looked up at Leo.
"Heal her... you've got to... she's going to be fine." Prue said.
Leo shook his head sadly then kneeled in front of Prue.
"Prue, I can't heal -"
"No." Prue interrupted. "You've got to heal her. She's going to be fine. If you just -"
"I can't." Leo said.
Prue let out a strangled cry, then lunged at Leo. She tackled him to the floor and just started punching him nit he chest. Everyone looked on, too shocked to do anything.
"You heal her, you son of a bitch!" Prue screamed as she beat on Leo. "You heal her right now!"
"I can't!" Leo said loudly, then grabbed Prue's wrists. He wrenched her off of him then got to his feet.
A whitelighter call then filled the room. Everyone looked to Leo, except for Prue. She was staring at Paige, somehow hoping to will her to life.
"It's them." Leo said quietly. "They want... they want to speak with Prue."
"About what?" Phoebe asked.
"They probably want her to tell them everything about the Underworld."
"No, no." Prue said and crawled over to Piper. "They can't... not now. Too soon... I can't go. No. No. No!"
"Leo..." Piper said.
"I can't do anything." Leo said, defeated.
"Don't let them take me!" Prue said and looked into Piper's eyes. "Don't let them take me! Keep me here! Protect me, Piper! Protect me! I don't want to go! Not now!"
Despite Prue's calls, she was orbed up, still crying and screaming.
"Leo, take me up there NOW!" Piper demanded.
"I can't." Leo said. "I'm not even allowed to go. I wish I could, but... I can't."
Piper then looked up at the ceiling and screamed:
"You take me up there right this god damn minute you bastards!" Piper demanded.
And, to the surprise of everyone, Piper was orbed up.
Phoebe didn't flinch when the blade nicked her. A thin line of blood appeared and then slowly trickled down.
