The Difference
Chapter 4~~ Persisting Possession Problems
Prue and Leo arrived at the P3 just minutes after the phone call came that Piper had
been there with Cole and Phoebe.
"Is she ok?" said Leo worriedly dashing down the staircase and into the closed bar.
"What would be your definition of 'ok'?" replied Phoebe, standing in front of Piper who
sat stiffly in her chair.
"Come on Phoebe," replied Prue, "We are not playing games."
"Prue, neither am I" Phoebe replied unhappily, "Why do you always treat me like a
five-year old?" she asked with a sour expression on her face.
"What is that supposed to be?" Prue replied with the same stubborn look.
"Stop! Calm down." Said Cole stepping in, "It's Piper who's in need right now."
Both Phoebe and Prue stopped bickering and looked down at their silent sister.
"Nobody else touched the blood, did they?" asked Leo, "That's what caused the
possession." He continued.
"Oh." Was his reply, Prue didn't look at all surprised, Leo had already told her earlier
about how the blood of a dead Crankton demon possesses certain properties that released a
vile odor that would ultimately possess the being who had any contact with it.
"The only way to get rid of this "possession" would be through Piper's blood,
did anybody else have any contact with the blood, at all?" Leo asked rather impatiently.
"I don't think so." Phoebe replied, "But I'm more worried about Piper before anything
else that might come across our path."
"She's right.' Added Cole, "The Charmed ones can't be the Power of Three if
there is only two of them." They sat contemplating for a while, minutes and minutes
ticked by slowly until Phoebe finally spoke up.
"Be right back," she said, "I need some air." Before she left she looked at Piper who
had long since fallen asleep most likely due to the fact that she had drunk so much alcohol.
"Why do we always have to go through this?!" Prue exclaimed.
"Maybe because-" Cole started but was interrupted.
"That was a rhetorical question." Snapped Prue in response.
"I'm sick of sitting around like this," Said Leo, "Prue, I suggest the
Book of Shadows, Cole, you and Phoebe stay here and watch Piper, also clean up that mess on
the counter. I'm gunna go up and ask "them" if they know anything of the Crankton Demon. Let's
just hurry up and get things done instead of sitting around." He had finished standing up and
orbing out leaving Prue and Cole alone with the unconscious Piper.
Then they heard something unexpected,
"DEMON!" exclaimed Phoebe's voice echoing into the P3.
