Omygosh. This is the 14th chapter?? It's gone so fast! Definitely for me! Wow. I can't believe I'm almost done with my first fanfic. Aahhhhh...relish the feeling...relish the feeling.
...
Okay. I'm done. I hope you guys like this chapter! As always, R&R!
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Just the plot. (And I'm kinda likin' it.) ;D LOL
"Okay," Phoebe said. "To scry for Piper, we need the signal to be really strong. And we should all know that to do that, we need something of hers to scry with. Any ideas?"
Paige raised her hand slowly.
"Yes Paige?" Phoebe said.
"I have a question."
"Okay…" Phoebe lifted an eyebrow.
"Does it have to be big, or can it be small?" Paige asked. She has had less experience with witchcraft than Phoebe does.
"It can be small, but the signal will probably be stronger the bigger the object is or the closer the object was to her," Phoebe said.
"Got it," Paige said.
Leo spoke up, "How about a picture?"
"Sure, that should do. Is there one picture in particular that you're thinking of?" Phoebe asked.
"Kind of."
"What is it?"
"Well, do you know that picture that's sitting on a table that has you, Piper, and Prue in it.? Sorry Paige," Leo said apologetically.
"That's okay," Paige said, smiling.
"Well," Leo continued. "That could work, couldn't it?"
"Yes, probably," Phoebe agreed.
"Then I'll go get it," Leo said. He went out to get the picture.
"I sure hope this picture is going to work," Paige said.
Phoebe smiled at Paige. "Don't worry sweetie. It will work. And we're going to find Piper and Posten."
Paige smiled back.
Leo came back with the picture. He handed it to Phoebe, who held it and started scrying with the crystal.
After a few suspenseful minutes, the crystal finally tinked down on the map.
"Our house?" Paige exclaimed, clearly caught off guard.
"Or under our house," Leo said.
Phoebe looked at him sideways, then pointed at him. "That's it!" Phoebe raced over to the Book of Shadows, starting to search the pages to find a spell that could get Paige's orbs to get to the exact spot where Piper was being held.
"Are you sure this is going to work, Phoebes?" Paige asked, precautious.
"No," Phoebe said in a breathy voice. "But it's all we've got."
******
Piper was surrounded by the dusty darkness that consumed her cell. It felt like a motionless and endless vacuum. The cell was so unclean, occasionally when she tried to fill her lungs with new air, she would start to cough immediately.
"Leo," Piper said out of breath. "Cole, Phoebe, Paige. Anyone."
******
Posten couldn't believe her ears. The two demons in front of her were arguing over who would take her life.
I don't want anyone to take my life. I want to live. I want to see my family again.
She closed her eyes, breathed deeply, and concentrated on the powers that she had doubted just minutes before.
Phoebe, she thought. Paige. I need you guys.
******
"We've been looking, Phoebes. We can't find anything," Paige whined.
"I am going to find something, Paige," Phoebe said, exhausted. She slapped the Book of Shadows closed. "I can't believe there's nothing in here!"
Paige sighed. "I can't believe this is happening. But we can't give up Phoebe, you know that." She looked at Leo. He opened his mouth like he was about to say something, closed it, and shrugged.
"Come on, Phoebe. Let's start mixing some herbs together. Maybe we'll brainstorm and come up with something."
As Phoebe and Paige were almost through the attic door, their bodies sparkled, then disappeared.
Leo was shocked. "Phoebe? Paige?"
******
Posten could not believe her eyes. Young and old women raced by in front of her eyes. She felt a pulse that made her wince. But not in pain, in excitement. The images stopped in a familiar room. She quickly recognized the room as the Halliwells' attic. There were three people in the room. Two of them were women, whom Posten recognized as Phoebe and Paige. The other person in the attic was a man whom she recognized as Leo. They were at a lectern, where a very large book sat. They were hovering over the book. Phoebe threw up her arms in surrender. She stood there for a couple moments, probably listening to Paige say something. Then she started to walk out, with Leo following her.
Posten panicked. Oh no, what if they disappear from where I can see them? I have to get them here!
She heard a sudden shout from behind her. She tensed her eyes for just a second, then relaxed them again. But as soon as she tensed, Phoebe and Paige disappeared.
Posten opened her eyes and found Phoebe and Paige first seeming surprised, then, reacting to where they had appeared, started battling like crazy.
She watched as Phoebe did a couple powerful kicks, then, in one swift motion, bend down and swing her leg under one of the demon. Posten thought the demon would surely fall, but when its back was about two feet from the ground, he came back up and stood like nothing had ever happened.
Posten got a clear sighting at the demon that Phoebe had hit. It was Medalliac.
"Phoebe! Watch out!" Posten screamed. She did not want anyone to get hurt because of her.
Phoebe looked up into Medalliac's face. Phoebe was not quick enough. Before she could react, Medalliac took his claw and fiercely encircled it around Phoebe's throat. Phoebe struggled to get free, fingers clawing at his claw, but had no success.
Posten looked over to where Paige was and saw that her arms were pinned to her sides. She saw that Paige was not orbing to get free. Paige caught Posten's eye.
"Come on, Posten," Paige said. "Get Piper! We know you're the one and only person who brought us here. You used your powers! You can use them to get Piper!"
"But what if she gets killed because I brought her here?" Posten asked worriedly.
"She'll be killed anyway if you don't bring her here. I know you can do it! You know you can use them for good, to help us!" Paige started to be squeezed by the Trox demon that had hold of her. "We know you can do it. We believe in you! Piper believes in you! Just close your eyes and concentrate," Paige directed.
Posten hesitated, then closed her yes. She thought about Piper. Just her name. Her sisters' connections with her would do the rest. Again, Posten felt a small jolt that signified that she had found Piper. A second later, she saw a figure sitting with her hands behind her back.
Please, Posten thought. I want Piper. She opened her eyes and found a woman with flowing, straight brown hair. She glared at her.
Piper returned the stare.
Posten spoke first. "Are you Piper?"
"Yes," Piper said, realizing that she was in a different place. Her hands were unbound, there was light streaming around her, and she saw that her sisters were in mega trouble. She instinctively brought her hands up to blow up the Trox demon, felt the power shoot out of her fingertips and blow up the demon that was holding Paige. He exploded into a thousand shimmering pieces, then disintegrated. Paige was relieved, but only for a couple of seconds. She looked over at Phoebe who was almost out of air.
Piper tried to explode Medalliac again, but only caused him to slightly loosen his grip on Phoebe's throat.
Piper tried again.
Medalliac loosened.
Explode.
No result. He was gaining immunity from Piper's power.
"Come on, Piper," she said to herself. "Come on, damn it!"
"Piper," Phoebe choked out. "Get…Posten."
"Posten?" Piper looked around. She then spotted Posten sitting scared on the ground.
Meanwhile, Paige was doing her best to rescue Phoebe. While holding a rock in her hands, she orbed over behind Medalliac, then doing her best to smash the rock on his head. Unfortunately, Medalliac only flinched. Medalliac's arms flung around to knock Paige away from him, but Paige only escaped by inches each time. She then appeared back where she was, and repeated the process.
"I'm running out of juice, here," Paige called. All that orbing in and out was making her woozy.
"I'm working on it!" Piper exclaimed, clearly frustrated. Piper half-walked, half speed-walked over to Posten and helped her up.
"Posten," Piper said confidently. "You have to focus. Focus on Phoebe. If you can't look at her, visualize her in your mind."
Posten closed her eyes, finding it hard to focus. She tried to block out all the noise, and finally calmed down enough to really concentrate. She breathed in and out, but opened her eyes in panic.
"What if I can't do it? What if I make more trouble than can be handled?" Posten looked to Piper for answers and support.
"What? No, sweetie. You couldn't possibly make any more than there is. But I know you can do this. Try again."
Posten regained her "Zen" and focused in on Phoebe, this time with her eyes open. She blinked. Nothing happened. She blinked again. No changes
"Third time's the charm," she said to herself. She blinked. About a couple of seconds later, Phoebe was once again by her sisters' sides, gasping for breath.
"Ohmygod! Thank you so much, Posten! You saved my life!" She moved over to Posten and gave her a big bear hug.
"Okay. Vanquishing now, celebrating later," Paige advised, realizing that Medalliac looked very mad charging towards them.
"Did anyone make a spell?" Phoebe asked, still trying to regain her breath.
"Oh! That would be me!" Piper said, scavenging in her pocket. "I had sensed some trouble was going to occur, so I wanted to be extra cautious. I made it in my bedroom, right after we cast that relative-seeking spell. I also redid some things while I was in that dungeon room. You wouldn't think that a dungeon would be a good thinking place, but it is when you have nothing to keep your mind occupied."
"Either that's good thinking, or just luck," Paige said with a slight smile. "But we better hurry." All the demons and Medalliac had just surrounded them, slowly closing in.
"Right," Piper said.
Phoebe, Piper, and Posten all raced over to where Paige stood. Then they all gathered around Piper, who held out the small piece of paper in her hand.
"Okay Posten," Piper said, kneeling down. "You're going to have to recite this spell with us. Four is always better tan three. We know you have powers, which makes you a witch."
"Okay Piper!" Phoebe shouted. "I'm completely fine with kicking demon butt, but it's starting to get a little overwhelming!" Phoebe ducked right as a demon threw a punch, then came back with a sharp uppercut to the chin.
"Knife!" Paige shouted. The knife in one of the demon's belt dissolved into soft blue and white orbs, then reformed in Paige's hand. She reached back with the knife, and then threw it with perfect aim at a demon to her left. The demon exploded in bright orange and yellow.
"I'm working on it!" Piper shouted at Phoebe. She looked down at Posten again. "Ready to do this?" Piper asked.
"Yes. I am." Posten nodded, trying to keep a smile from peeking out.
"Alright." Piper motioned for Phoebe and Paige, and they came without hesitation.
"Let's do it," Paige said excitedly, wiggling her fingers.
Piper clutched the piece of paper in her hand, holding it out for everyone to see.
All four girls started reciting the spell.
"This demon was a threat, but now he is vanquished. Into the night, gone from space and time."
Then, in a sudden explosion of wind and warmth, the demons screamed, and then vanished, leaving the Underworld cave in silence.
I hope you liked it! I won't post any more chapters until I get reviews asking me for them. So, please review! You know you want to! ;D
