Part 10
'Phoebe where are you?' Piper called as she searched the
bottom part of the house while Prue checked the upper.
'Phoebe?'
'Phoebe are you in there? Phoebe' Prue called as she went
about checking the upper floor.
Prue went back downstairs to meet with Piper
'Any luck?'
'no you?'
'nope, but I had a look outside and his car is still
here'
'then they must be somewhere'
'did you check the basement?'
'no way, Phoebe still frightened of it'
'I know'
'have you checked the attic'
'no because Phoebe knows if she ever..' but Prue got cut
off
'if she ever what,' Phoebe asked suspiciously as she came
round the corner Josh in tow.
'nothing, doesn't matter. Emm Pheebs can I talk to you
alone' Piper asked
'sure, what about Prue'
'she already knows'
Phoebe followed Piper into the kitchen and sat down at
the table
'So what you wanna talk about, what demon is it this
week.' Phoebe asked sarcastically
'the demon in question is a demon called Rasputina'
'wait haven't we already vanquished him'
'no, we vanquished Raspunita Jr. his son'
'oh right. don't tell me, he is angry with us for killing
his son as he seeks revenge. Am I right?'
'spot on, to vanquish him is a knife straight through his
heart, like last time. But he is ten times more powerful, so it won't be as
easy'
'okay then when is he expected?' Phoebe asked not making
eye contact with her sister
'he's expected Thursday or Friday'
'okay then. In that case I will see you then. Bye'
Phoebe got up and started to head for the parlour when
Piper stopped her
'Phoebe, can we talk?' Piper pleaded
'not now, later. When I'm not hurting okay' Phoebe
replied still not looking at her sister
'hurting?'
'here Piper. Here' Phoebe pointed to her heart 'you can
be so dense sometimes'
Phoebe then strode out of the kitchen into the parlour
where Josh was waiting for her
'hey, ready to go?' Josh asked
'yeah. Lets go' Phoebe pulled Josh towards the door
'emm, Pheebs. Can you come down to P3 tonight we need to
talk about Raspunita' Piper asked as she came from the kitchen. With red eyes.
From crying.
'yeah sure, look I'm sorry about what I said then okay.
Your not dense. Anyway gotto go. Bye'
'bye, it was nice meeting you Josh' Prue called after
them
'you too. Bye' he replied
Phoebe and Josh got into his car and drove away.
'What was that comment Phoebe made to you?'
'oh nothing. We better get ready for tonight' Piper
replied
'yeah. Hopefully, this will cheer her up'
Prue and Piper went to get everything ready.
'so what's P3?' Josh asked in the car
'P3. is my sisters club.'
'oh right, so we going tonight?'
'yeah if you don't mind'
'not at all. Who's Raspunita?'
'Just this person we know who needs our help' Phoebe lied
'so he needs your help in what?'
'well he doesn't really need our help, we just need to
talk to him'
'oh because I thought Raspunits was a very powerful
demon' Josh smirked
'WHAT!!' Phoebe shouted. She couldn't believe what she
was hearing 'Who are you?'
'i'm………
Part 11
'WHAT!!!!' Phoebe
shouted she couldn't believe what she was hearing 'who are you?'
'i'm….. a friend of a friend' Josh replied looking out
the window so he could see where he was driving
'A friend of a friend doesn't answer my question' Phoebe
shouted
'Phoebe' Josh started
'don't Phoebe me till you tell me who you are?' Phoebe
screamed
'Phoebe I wasn't aloud to tell you' Josh looked at her
'I don't give a damn, tell me now!!!!!'
'okay, I'm…. I'm… a friend of….. leo's' Josh said turning
his head to face the way she was driving so he couldn't see her reaction
'a friend of leo's? so you're a whitelighter?' Phoebe
asked
'umm no, well kinda..i'm a trainee. Leo's my trainer'
'Leo! So he knows that me and you…. Are well…. Going
out?'
'yeah' Josh smiled
'oh right' Phoebe smiled to.
Later that night at P3, Piper and Prue had set everything
up perfectly. There was food and a big birthday cake on a table and the DJ was
playing all of Phoebe's songs.
'I hope she comes'
'me too, I hope she likes what we have done' Piper said
she looked at all the food layed out in front of them
'Piper, did you get the present that you decided to get
her?'
'yeah' Piper went behind the bar and picked a velvet box
up 'here, look'
Piper opened the box and there was a beautiful necklace.
Piper opened the necklace as it was a locket and there, on one side there was
prue and piper and on the other was Phoebe with Cole.
'that's beautiful Piper'
'there's more look' Piper turned the locket over and
there incraved on the back was 'May the Power of Three Set you Free…….. P3.'
'that's really nice Piper, now when she sees the photos
she'll think of us and cole and then when she reads that she will think of mum,
it's beautiful.'
'I just thought she deserved it. What did you get her?'
Piper asked
'I got her my car'
'WHAT!!!!'
'my car'
'why' Piper said not really believing it
'well the magazine has given me a new company car and I
thought Phoebe would like it, you know how she always moans about having to use
public transport'
'that's nice Prue' Piper said sadly
'hey whats the matter?'
'its just you get her a car that is worth thousands and I
get her a necklace… a damn necklace'
'Piper, that necklace is the best present ever. A car
doesn't hold as much love as that necklace now does it. Only cause the car is
worth thousands doesn't mean that it has sentimental valve. Phoebe will love it
okay?' Prue gave Piper a hug.
'Phoebe will love what?' Piper and Prue broke the hug and
looked at where the voice came from
'geez Pheebs, don't do that. You'll give me a heart
attack one of these days' Prue says laughing
but Phoebe didn't laugh back
'so you asked me to come to P3 tonight. Why?'
'Because of this' Piper took Phoebes hand but Phoebe
retracted it. Piper looked hurt
'what you want to show me'
'this' Piper walked in front of Phoebe with Phoebe
following
'Happy Belated Birthday Phoebe' Piper and Prue shouted
together.
Suddenly there was a huge bang of party poppers going off
and people shouting happy Birthday.
Phoebe was overwhelmed, as she looked around she could
she all of her friends and Leo, and the party food and cake.
Phoebe didn't know what to do, she wanted so badly to
shout at her sisters but she didn't want to do it in front of her friends. So
she just smiled at her friends and accepted their gifts .
'look, I told you it would cheer her up.' Prue said as
she saw Phoebe smile at her friends
'suppose so.' Piper replied. But as she looked towards
Phoebe, she saw Phoebe starring at them with the most icy glare they had ever
seen 'or maybe not'
'why you say that?' Prue asked confused
'have you seen the way she looks at us'
Prue loked towards Phoebe and saw what Piper was talking
about
'Maybe we should go and give hr our presents' Prue
suggested
'sure'
Piper and Prue walked over to Phoebe with there presents
in there hands.
'hey Phoebe' Piper greeted her
'oh hi' Phoebe reply
'we just want to give you your birthday presents' Piper
gave Phoebe hers.
Phoebe opened the box and looked at the locket, she then
opened it and smiled but that smile disappeared as soon as it came
'theres more, if you look at the back'
Phoebe turned the locket over and read the inscription.
Phoebe once again smiled but it wasn't her usual smile.
'here's mine gift for you Phoebe' Prue handed her a small
box also
Phoebe carefully opened it and was shocked to see her
sisters car keys in the box.
Prue saw the confused look on her sisters face and went
on to explain
'I thought you would like my car because you always
complained about public transport' Prue smiled
'uh thanks' Phoebe said distantly
'you okay Phoebe' Piper asked as she saw tears start to
work there way down Phoebe's cheeks.
'no I'm not okay' Phoebe shouted 'you completely forgot
about my birthday and now you do all this. How do you expect me to feel.
Estactic? Overjoyed? Well let me tell you, I don't feel any of that, I feel
hurt, like my hearts been ripped out of my heart. You cant expect me to forgive
you with all of this, you can't buy love'
Piper and Prue listened carefully and then watched as
Phoebe stormed away over to Josh, who had been sitting quietly, whispered
something into his ear and stormed out of the club with Josh in tow.
'that went well' Prue joked
'Prue will you shut up' Piper had had enough 'we have
just hurt our baby sister deeply and your making a joke out of it'
Part 12
'Phoebe sweetie, you okay?' Josh asked as he woke up the
next morning and saw phoebe looking at him with tears in her eyes.
'Not really. They hurt be really bad last night. They
just don't get that they can't buy my love back for them with presents. That's
what's hurting me the most'
'Sweetie, I don't think they thought of it like that. Why
don't you go and explain what you feel'
'No way, they can come and apologise to me first. I'm not
the one who has hurt them'
'Phoebe, I know they hurt you very bad, but they are
hurting also. You won't talk to them and you reject there peace offering'
'Was that meant to be a piece offering' Phoebe said
sarcastically 'cause I thought peace offerings were when they explain properly
why they hurt you. Like I said before they cant buy my love'
'I know.' Josh pulled Phoebe close to him and kissed her
passionately.
'Piper, Prue' Leo shouted as he orbed in
'What? What is it?' Piper asked as she saw her husband
'You have to get down to the pier, Raspunita is there'
'Oh okay. But we don't have to power of three right now'
Prue replied as she came around the corner
'Look I'll go and get her and orb her there, I know where
she is' Leo began to orb out
'Wait, you've known all along where she has been. Haven't
you?' Piper accused
'Ummm, yeah. Josh is training to be a whitelighter and
I'm his trainer'
'Josh, as in Phoebe's Josh.' Saw Leo nod 'Phoebe's going
to be pissed'
'She already knows. Look, just get there as soon as you
can I'll go and get Phoebe' Leo orbed out.
'As if. I can't believe he knew' Piper fumed
'Lets talk about it later. First we have a demon to
vanquish'
'Phoebe' Leo shouted as he orbed into Josh's apartment
'Phoebe'
Phoebe came out of the bedroom with Josh following 'what
Leo, what do you want? If this has ought to do with my sisters you can forget
it'
'No, it's not because of them. Well in a way it is.
Raspunita is here. We need to go and vanquish him'
'Already here. I thought you said he wouldn't be here
till Friday?'
'No I said either Thursday or Friday'
'Oh right. Lets go'
'Hmmm, Phoebe don't you think you better go and get
changed' Josh called out as he saw that Phoebe was only wearing her nightie.
Phoebe looked
down and blushed 'yeah I think that's a good idea. Are you coming also' Phoebe
asked Josh.
Josh looked at Leo, when Leo shook his head he looked at
Phoebe sadly
'I can't sorry, but I will be waiting for you as soon as
you get home, okay' Josh kissed Phoebe
'Okay' Phoebe replied as she broke away from him and went
to get changed.
'Leo, how come I can't go with you' Josh asked Leo when
he knew Phoebe wasn't in hearing distance
'Josh. Your training's finished. And there is no easy way
to say this but the elders have assigned you to two witches in Chicago'
'Chicago. That means that I will never be able to see
Phoebe again doesn't it?'
'Yeah. I'm sorry man'
'How can you be sorry. You've got your love of your life.
But me I find mine but no the damn elders have to take me away from her.' Josh
shouted 'when do I have to go?'
'I'm truly am sorry Josh'
'Yeah whatever. Just answer my question'
'Effective immediately.'
'So you mean this is the last time I will see Phoebe?'
'Yeah sorry'
Phoebe came out of the bedroom, now changed
'Okay Leo. I'm ready' Phoebe went over to Josh and gave
him a kiss 'I'll see you when I get home okay'
Josh didn't answer, he just stared at her
'Josh. What's wrong?'
'Phoebe there's no easy way to tell you this but' Josh
trailed off
'But'
'but I've completed my training and I'm being assigned to
two new witches'
'you can't see me again, can you' Phoebe asked tears
coming down her eyes as she already knew the answer.
'no sweetie, I'm sorry. They are assigning me to two
witches in Chicago'
'Chicago, but that's at the other side. That's like 3000
miles away'
'I know I'm sorry' Josh said as tears began to fall down
his cheeks also
'just don't forget about me, will you?' Phoebe asked
'no way Phoebe. I've only known you for a just over a
week but I already love you with all my heart. It feels as though I have know
you all my life'
'same here. I love you' Phoebe got pulled into a hug
'I love you too. Never forget. I have to go now' Josh
kissed Phoebe one more time and orbed out
'I'm sorry Phoebe'
'whatever. Just orb wherever we have to go' Phoebe said
not looking at him. She was jealous, extremely jealous and upset that her
sister could be with the whitelighter she loved but she couldn't.
Part 13
Leo orbed to the pier with Phoebe arriving just when her
sisters were.
Piper saw immediately that Phoebe was upset, but she
didn't know if she was still upset with them or if something else had happened.
Feeling eyes starring into her, Phoebe looked up to meet
the concerned and guilty face of Piper
'don't' worry Pipe I'm still upset with you, but I'm not
crying about it. This has something to do with Josh'
'oh what happened'
'I don't think that's is any of your business at the
moment. Do you' Phoebe said harshly
'hey Phoebe, she was only asking. Don't have to be so
harsh' Prue shouted at her younger sister
'whatever lets just vanquish this demon, so I can get
back to Josh's kay?'
Phoebe led the way with Prue, Piper and Leo following
with concerned gazes.
Phoebe opened the door to one of the boat sheds on the
pier when she was pulled into a premonition.
Her world went black and white but soon pictures were
appearing. Pictures of her sisters being struck with one of Raspunita's energy
balls, and Raspunita being sent to hell. Then as it suddenly began it ended.
Her sisters watched on with fear, when they heard Phoebe
gasp for a second time they knew she had come out of it
'what did you see phoebe?' Piper asked softly
'just that this is the right one' Phoebe lied. She didn't
want to tell her sisters what happened, she didn't know how they would react.
Inside everything was quiet until they heard someone
start talking
'So, these are the charmed ones. The all mighty ones. The
ones that killed my son and now will suffer the consequences'
Phoebe, Prue and Piper all looked around, Leo had been
called away just as they were about to enter, looking to see where that voice
had come from.
They didn't have to long to look as Raspunita came out
from behind some barrels.
'What consequences, your son was evil just like you. You
deserve to be vanquished also' Phoebe yelled
'you must be Phoebe. My son told me all about you. You
really are feisty'
'I never knew your son'
'oh you see that is where you are wrong. My son was the
one that stole your innocence in New York'
Piper and Prue could not believe what they were hearing.
Phoebe just stared at him
'what's the matter my dear, didn't you like it. He surely
did. He told me all about it but I didn't believe him. Now that I see you, I
know what he said was indeed true.
'Phoebe' Piper and Prue said in unison
'your son, was a git. Do you know what he put me through'
'yes I do. It was quite fulfilling to see one of the
charmed ones hurt by the hands of my son. But you had to go and vanquish him
didn't you!' he yelled
'well D'uh of course we did. He was a demon like you. And
demons need to be vanquished. Piper freeze him' Phoebe shouted
Piper froze him and was about to ask what he was on about
when Phoebe put her hand in the sir signalling her to stop.
'I'll tell you later, first we have to vanquish him, you
ready'
'yep. Here it is' Prue pulled the spell out of her book
and the sisters began to chant
'Raspunita we vanquish thee,
Go to hell where we sent thy son,
Where you will never cause pain,
To me or these sisters three.
Raspunita we vanquish thee,
Go to hell where we sent thy son,
Where you will never cause pain,
To me or these sisters three.
The sisters were about to say the spell once more when
Raspunita unfroze
'I will kill you all before you have a chance to vanquish
me'
with that said Raspunita threw a energy ball towards Prue
and Piper. Phoebe saw what he was doing and couldn't let what she had seen in
her premonition come true.
'Noooooo' Phoebe shouted as she pushed her sisters out of
the way and took the full force of the blow.
'Phoebe' Piper and Prue cried in unison as they groggily
got up of the floor and ran to their sister. But not before Piper had froze
Raspunita again
'Phoebe are you okay'
'the spell…we have to complete the spell' Phoebe
whispered
Prue grabbed Phoebe's hand while Piper did the same with
Prue
'Raspunita we vanquish thee,
Go to hell where we sent thy son,
Where you will never cause pain,
To me or these sisters three.
Raspunita started to spin and scream in agony as he was
vanquished.
'Phoebe are you okay' Piper asked her younger sister as
she knelt down next to her. But she got no reply. 'Phoebe'
'Prue help me. She's not waking up'
Prue knelt down next to Piper and checked for a pulse.
'has she got one'
Prue smiled 'yeah, but it's only faint'
'Leo, LEO ,Leo' Piper yelled for her husband. But he did
not come 'LEO!!'
'Piper he's not coming. We better get her to the hospital
quick. Go get your car while I carry her'
'okay' Piper said upset that her husband hadn't come when
she called him.
Part 14
Piper brought the car to the front of the boat shed and
went inside to help Prue get Phoebe in the car
'Prue, do you want a hand lifting her'
'No its okay, just make sure no one is around' Prue said
as she lifted Phoebe up using her power.
Piper rushed outside to make sure no one was around and
to open the backseat door so Prue could put Phoebe in. Piper gave the nod for
Prue to come out.
When Phoebe was safely in the back seat resting on Prue,
Piper started the car and made her way to the hospital.
'Prue, do you think she will be okay?' Piper asked as she
glanced through the rear view mirror.
'I hope so Pipe. I really do.'
'Prue, I will never be able to forgive myself if she does
not pull through. Especially since we forgot her birthday'
'Piper don't think negative she will pull through okay.
She has to' Prue said as she looked down at Phoebe, but that positive saying
was dashed when she realised Phoebe had stopped breathing.
'PIPER! Pull over quick. NOW!!' Prue screamed to her
sister
Piper pulled over quickly with out looking. (It was a
good job it was early in the morning and no one was around)
'what? What's the matter?' Piper asked but her answer was
given to her when she saw Prue feel for a pulse on Phoebe's neck.
'Please tell me she has one. Please' Piper cried
'Piper help me do CPR please' Prue asked frantically
Piper got out of the front seat and got in the back.
After 10minutes, Prue still found no pulse. She pulled
her hands back and just stared at Piper, who carried on giving her chest
compressions
'Piper' Prue whispered 'Piper'
'Prue come on please we have to keep going. I can't lose
her'
'Piper' Prue said as she reached forward and grasped her
hands, 'she's gone'
'No.no.no.no' Piper kept saying repeatedly as the tears
made there way down her face.
