A/N: It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, it doesn't matter because here is chapter nine and I am working on chapter ten! Read!



Prue and Dark Prue appeared in a barren place. The only thing visible was the brown, dirt ground. Everything else around them was blackness.

"Where are we?" Prue asked.

"We call it the arena sometimes." Dark Prue said. "Other times we don't."

"You know, that talking in weird little phrases is really getting annoying." Prue said.

"Just fight." Dark Prue said and a sword formed in her hand. Another sword fell from above and landed in front of Prue. Prue picked it up and got ready.

"Now what?" Prue asked.

"We fight. First one to be imprisoned... loses."

"Well thanks for clearing that one up."

Dark Prue glared at Prue then lunged forward with her sword. Prue blocked it and jumped to her left. Dark Prue turned swiftly, making her sword slice through the air. Prue dodged that by using her power to throw the sword off course.

Prue swung her sword forward, but Dark Prue caught the blade in her hand. Prue looked at her, horrified. Blood had begun to trickle from her hand, which was still holding the blade, and her face showed concealed pain. Dark Prue threw the sword back and looked at Prue.

"You can't win." Dark Prue said. "I am so much stronger."

"I've stopped unstoppable demons. You should be no problem." Prue shot back. Dark Prue mad a fist with her bloody hand and punched Prue. Prue rolled back a few feet and shakily stood up.

"Give up and I may just kill you." Dark Prue snarled. Prue felt her cheek and looked at her hand. There was a smudge of blood on it.

"You aren't stronger." Prue said and held up the bloody finger. "You bleed just as I do."

"Nonsense! I am stronger than you on all counts!" Dark Prue yelled.

"Touchy, touchy." Prue said and used her power to fling Dark Prue back a few feet.

"You will not win!" Dark Prue said, then got up quickly and rushed at Prue. Prue held her sword backwards and jabbed Dark Prue with the pommel of her sword. Dark Prue fell backwards.

"I always win." Prue said, looking down at Dark Prue. "It's just the way it goes."

"The way it goes? You don't know how it goes." Dark Prue said, then sprang up and kicked Prue in the side of the head, making Prue fall.

"I know how things go." Prue said, standing up. "Things go for Good. Good wins, evil loses. It's just the way things are."

Dark Prue just snarled at her. Prue and Dark Prue circled each other until Dark Prue finally made a move. Dark Prue lunged forward with the sword, Prue stepped out of the way and hit Dark Prue over the head with the knob of her sword. Dark Prue was knocked unconscious.

Prue pulled her orb from her pocket and threw it done at Dark Prue. As usual, Dark Prue's body turned into electricity and entered the orb.

Prue picked up the orb and smiled. Suddenly, everything began spinning and Prue looked around confused, but didn't have time to think because in an instant, she and the orb appeared back in the manor.
