Wow. Three chapters in a day? Well, this will be the last for today because an awesome show, Family Guy, is coming back and I've got to watch it! Long live Stewie! Lol.
Leo walked to the cell and looked in. The cell wasn't dingy, but it was plain.
"You're not all bad you know." Leo said to the man inside.
The man was sitting on the white bed staring at his hands sadly.
"Then give me back my life." The man pleaded and looked at Leo with great sadness in his eyes.
"I can't." Leo told him. "I'm almost done anyway. When everything is done and glossed over, you'll be let out."
"Then it will be too late!" The man exclaimed. He rushed over to the bars and held onto two. "Please, let me out."
"I already told you that I cannot." Leo said. "When I am done, you will be set free."
Tears started to fall down the man's cheeks. "Please?" He pleaded quietly.
Leo just looked at him and walked away.
Meanwhile, down on Earth...
Lynn had fallen asleep in a big comfy chair in the living room.
They had moved their discussion downstairs to be more comfortable. Prue and Hallie were searching the Book, Piper and Jess were playing Go Fish, and Phoebe was sleeping with her feet propped up on the coffee table.
Lynn found herself "up there".
"What's going on?" Her voice was an echo.
She saw Leo talking to a man in a cell, so she walked over to him and listened.
"Then give me back my life." The man pleaded and looked at Leo with great sadness in his eyes.
"I can't." Leo said to the man. "I'm almost done anyway. When everything is done and glossed over, you'll be let out."
"Then it will be too late!" The man exclaimed. "Please, let me out."
That voice was familiar to Lynn.
"I already told you that I cannot." Leo said. "When I am done, you will be set free."
Lynn took a step forward and looked into the cell.
"Leo?" Lynn asked.
All of sudden, all of the colors swirled together and Lynn was ripped from her dream.
Lynn shot up and stared around.
"What? Something wrong?" Prue asked.
"I-I had a very odd dream." Lynn told her.
"Odd, like how?" Piper asked, her and Jess forgetting their game.
"I was "up there" and it was like a jail place or something I guess. Leo was talking to someone in a cell, so I went over. I listened to the conversation for a bit, then I looked into the cell and Leo was in the cell, only he looked sadder and just plain downtrodden. Then everything swirled together and I woke up." Lynn told them.
"So, Leo isn't Leo and Leo is in jail up there?" Piper asked.
"It seemed like it." Lynn said.
"How do we get up there? We've gotta get him out." Piper said.
"You can't get "up there" without a whitelighter and I doubt that pseudo Leo will take us there." Prue said.
"Well, we can't leave him there." Piper said.
"I know that Piper." Prue said. "And we won't. We just have to deal with Maruka first. Leo is safe up there, but they aren't."
"You're right." Piper said. "Let's get this over with and then we'll save Leo."
"He wants us right?" Jess asked.
"Yeah, he needs your magic." Prue told her.
"Then there's only one thing to do." Jess said.
"Jess, you aren't thinking what I think you're thinking are yo-" Lynn began, but Jess' telepathic voice rang in her ears.
*It's the only way. One of us has got to get him into that cave. We have to do it.*
Lynn sighed. "It'll be me then."
"Lynn, you can't! I'm the oldest...I'll do it." Hallie said.
"No! Don't try to talk me out of it." Lynn said. "It has to be done and you guys are more powerful than me. You can't...you can't risk it."
Lynn got up and went to the kitchen.
Everyone looked at each other and Hallie put her head down. Prue got up and went into the kitchen. She found Lynn near the sink, clutching the counter for support. Prue walked slowly over to her and noticed that she was silently crying.
"I'm sorry...it's my fault." Prue said in a soothing voice and wrapped her arm around Lynn's shoulders.
"No, it's not." Lynn sniffed. "It would've happened anyway."
Prue didn't know what to say. She didn't have to say anything, Lynn rested her head next to Prue's shoulder and started to cry again.
Prue just stroked Lynn's hair and let her cry, it was all she could do for now.
After a few minutes, Lynn recollected herself. It was twenty years of pent up tears that she let go, but she didn't even let all of them go. She would need two days for that.
Lynn and Prue went back into the living and right there, Lynn was ready.
"What do I have to do?" Lynn asked with a new determination.
Leo walked to the cell and looked in. The cell wasn't dingy, but it was plain.
"You're not all bad you know." Leo said to the man inside.
The man was sitting on the white bed staring at his hands sadly.
"Then give me back my life." The man pleaded and looked at Leo with great sadness in his eyes.
