When Piper appeared in the manor, she was shaking. Prue and Phoebe rushed over to her.
"What's wrong?" Phoebe asked.
"I...I...I killed...I...my sword...I..." Piper stuttered, still shaking. Prue hugged her tightly, but Piper didn't stop shaking.
"It'll be okay." Prue said quietly, so only Piper could hear, then Dark Phoebe walked over.
"If it isn't the moment crusher." Phoebe spat.
Dark Phoebe just glared at her and held her hand out to Piper. Piper dropped the orb into her open palm and Prue hugged her again, sensing that Piper couldn't handle it.
"Damnit!" Dark Phoebe exclaimed and gave the orb to Ali.
"I'm ready." Phoebe said. Dark Phoebe smiled wickedly, then snapped her fingers. Then she and Phoebe disappeared in two puffs of smoke.
"Piper, do you want to tell me what happened?" Prue asked. Piper only shook her head 'no' and began to cry.
Phoebe and Dark Phoebe appeared in the fighting area and Phoebe noticed the blood on the ground. She bent down to inspect it, but was interrupted by a sword falling from above and right in front of her. Dark Phoebe waited for no one.
"What happened here?" Phoebe asked, standing up with the sword in her hand.
"Many things." Dark Phoebe said, her sword already in her hand.
Phoebe didn't have the chance to ask anything else. Dark Phoebe had already gone into "fight mode" and was approaching fast. Dark Phoebe swung forward with her sword, but Phoebe held hers up and closed her eyes. When Phoebe heard the clink of the two swords connecting, she opened her eyes and pushed.
Dark Phoebe stumbled, but regained her balance quickly. The two both swung forward and their swords connected. The force was too much however, and both swords flew out of their hands.
"Lest not the sleeper wake." Dark Phoebe said eerily.
"What?"
"Lest the sleeper sleep." Dark Phoebe said, circling Phoebe.
"What're you talking about?"
"Lest the sleeper's mourner's weep." Dark Phoebe said, still circling Phoebe.
"Stop talking like that!" Phoebe yelled. "Just fight me!"
"When the morning sun shall rise, the sleeper shall be done." Dark Phoebe said, then shimmered.
Suddenly, Phoebe got a harsh kick in her side. Phoebe fell and looked. Dark Phoebe was standing over her, sword in hand. Phoebe rolled as Dark Phoebe swung. Phoebe grabbed her sword and scrambled to stand.
"Do you know where I heard that rhyme?" Dark Phoebe asked and swung her sword forward.
Phoebe blocked and Dark Phoebe smiled.
"My eldest sister, Pruedence, wrote that rhyme." Dark Phoebe said and pushed Phoebe back with her sword.
"Really? Well, what's it about?" Phoebe said, then spun and swung her sword sideways. Dark Phoebe blocked.
"Death and overcoming the enemy." Dark Phoebe said. "Of course, that's what I guessed. She never said the true meaning."
"Well, whoopee." Phoebe said.
Dark Phoebe shimmered behind Phoebe and pushed her forward. Phoebe fell flat and slid a few inches. Phoebe pulled herself up and swung her sword at Dark Phoebe's legs.
Dark Phoebe shimmered and swung her sword. Phoebe blocked and they pushed each other until both fell backward.
"I'm tired of this." Dark Phoebe said and shot an energyball forward. Phoebe picked up her sword and swung at the energyball, making it veer off course.
Phoebe stood and held her sword close. Dark Phoebe stood and started throwing energyballs. Phoebe dodged a few and sliced some with her sword. Finally, one energyball grazed Phoebe's arm near her shoulder.
"Hurts, doesn't it?" Dark Phoebe asked, then her sword appeared in her hand.
Phoebe dropped her sword and clutched her arm. The pain was almost blinding. Dark Phoebe walked forward, ready for the kill. Dark Phoebe hit Phoebe, causing her to fall to her knees, then lifted her sword. Phoebe reached quickly into her pocket and pulled out the orb. Phoebe tossed the orb upward lightly and Dark Phoebe's sword connected with it. Dark Phoebe's screams echoed as she was pulled into the orb.
"Lest the sleeper sleep." Phoebe said weakly and was transported back to the manor.
"What's wrong?" Phoebe asked.
"I...I...I killed...I...my sword...I..." Piper stuttered, still shaking. Prue hugged her tightly, but Piper didn't stop shaking.
