Chapter 5
The attic was filled with a bluish white light and Leo appeared. "Piper?" Leo looked around the attic and ran to the door and threw it open. "Cole?" He continued calling their names as he went through the whole house and realized that they were gone.
Leo slammed his hand on the wall, "Man!" He folded his arms and fell to the floor on his knees. He folded his hands and held them up to the ceiling as he looked at the ceiling. "You have to let me go to the other side and save them."
But Leo received no answer, a tear streamed down his face. The Elders instructed him not to go to the other side because shield or no shield, Diva made it impossible for White Lighters to enter her lair, and if he went down there he would only run into other demons.
"Please," Leo begged. He still received no response and he dropped his hand and looked towards the ground. Before he could stand back up he was orbing out of the manor.

"Phoebe?" Piper cried from the floor.
"Don't speak to her," Diva shouted.
Piper threw up her hands and froze Diva once again. Phoebe and Paige growled and reached down towards Piper. Piper backed towards the wall knowing she couldn't hurt them. When she saw two energy balls flying towards Paige and Phoebe.
They were low voltage energy balls coming from Cole. The energy balls had knocked Paige and Piper off of their feet.
Piper quickly stood to her feet.
"Are you all right?" Cole asked running over to Piper. He saw Phoebe and Paige starting to get up and he tossed two more energy balls towards them.
"That's enough," Piper said. "They're still my sisters."
Paige and Phoebe vanished in yellow smoke.
"Okay, explain to me what you mean that it was too late to save them," Piper stated.
"Evidently the spell didn't work, maybe because they want to be evil," Cole said.
"What do you mean, they would never in a lifetime agree to be evil," Piper said.
"Well with Diva controlling their thoughts they would, I mean Pi," Cole gasped as he went flying towards the wall. A cage fell down in front of him and he was shackled to the wall.
Piper turned her head to see Diva unfrozen. Piper threw up her hands to freeze her but instead the torch on the wall behind Diva blew up. Piper backed towards the wall.
Diva snapped and a device that resembled a pager appeared on Piper's arm.
Piper reached for it," What the heck is this?"
"It's a deactivator, with that on you can't use your powers," Diva answered.
Piper threw up her hands once again to freeze Diva to see if she was lying.
Diva laughed as she walked towards Piper, "You actually think I was lying?"
Piper decided not to be scared because she had to save her sisters, "What are you gonna do Diva, read my mind too, put some sort of telepathic link on me too, huh?"
"I don't need telepathy to read your mind, everyone knows you're a curse!" shouted Diva standing in front of Piper.
Piper mouth dropped backing against the wall, she slowly shook her head in disbelief," No."
"Yes," Diva insisted locking her eyes on Piper. Pink swirls linked into Piper's eyes. "You are a curse to society, everyone who is around you will die."
"No," Piper muttered tears streaming down her face.
"Yes, look at Prue, Patty, or even Penny, only curses cause people to die Piper, and if Phoebe and Paige continue to hang around you they will be next to die," Diva stated focusing on Piper.
"Come on Piper, fight this you can do it," Cole encouraged.
"Shut up," Diva yelled to Cole.
Piper fell to the floor crying breaking the telepathic link Diva had on her.
Diva kneeled down beside her," If you're a curse Piper why not give me your powers."
Piper ignored her.
"Will you give me your powers Piper?" Diva asked.
Piper thought for a second her cheeks cold from the tears pouring down her face," Yes, I'll give you my powers."
"No!" Cole yelled from the cell.
Diva laughed standing to her feet snapping her fingers causing the deactivator to disappear," The Charmed Ones are no more."

Leo appeared outside of Diva's lair. He ran to the front door and was shocked so he jumped back, when he heard Paige and Phoebe coming up.
"Who are you?" Phoebe asked.
"Uh, a visitor for Diva," Leo answered.
"Then, why are you dressed like that?" Paige asked.
"Because, um, uh," Leo stammered. "Because I spoke with her earlier and she exempted me from wearing of the robes."
Paige and Phoebe bought that.
Gee are they lousy as demons, thought Leo.
"Can you teleport me inside?" Leo asked.
"Sure," Paige answered wrapping her arm Leo's neck and closing her eyes but she went nowhere. "What's going on, why can't I teleport?"
Leo shrugged afraid that he might be busted.
"Let me try," Phoebe stated reaching for his hand and she couldn't teleport either. "What does this mean?"
"It means that you aren't truly evil," Leo answered for Paige. He knew this would be the only way to convince them they were good.
"Huh?" Paige shrugged.
"If you can't teleport when you want to that means Diva thinks you're just a nobody," Leo went on.
"He's right Phoebe," Paige agreed.
"If she thought you were really somebody she would let you teleport at will," Leo continued. Leo saw Paige's and Phoebe's eyes change from it's yellow color and back to normal.
"Leo, what are you doing here?" Phoebe asked.
"Trying to save your lives, get in there and save Piper," Leo answered.
"Diva has Piper, oh my God," Phoebe commented running into the room with Paige following close behind.
Leo smiled, glad that his pep talk worked.
**
Diva walked over to Piper who was still on the floor. "All you need is to do is drink this potion."
Piper reached for the potion when it disappeared in bluish white shimmerings. The bottle reappeared in Paige's hand.
"Piper don't listen to her, she's lying," Phoebe called walking towards Diva.
"No, I'm a curse," Piper mumbled.
"Stay away," Diva shouted opening her mouth.
Paige held up her hand causing Diva's power to disappear and reappear near a wall and being useless.
"No, you're evil too," Diva stated backing away.
"No we're not you're the only one evil," Phoebe said flipping towards Diva and kicking her in the face, nearly knocking her unconscious. Diva hit the floor.
Paige and Phoebe rushed over to Piper.
"Come on Piper you're not a curse you're a powerful witch," Phoebe said as she and Paige helped Piper to her feet.
"No," Piper shook her head.
Paige grabbed Piper's head to stop her from moving and stared into Piper's eyes, "Yes."
Piper saw a blue star sparkle shine in Paige's eyes and nodded her head in a 'yes' motion.
Phoebe smiled at Paige," Let's vanquish this singing demon."
Piper grabbed a small piece of paper out of her pocket and she and Paige and Phoebe ran over to Diva who was lying on the floor.
Piper stood in between Paige and Phoebe and in unison they read:
"Fins to a fish, wings to a bird,
Your loudest note will go unheard.
Wings to a bird, fins to a fish
You die from the words of this vanquish."
Diva screamed in horror as she disappeared in an explosion.
The cell around Cole disappeared as well as the shackles. He ran over to Phoebe and gave her a huge hug, kissing her forehead.
"Let's get out of this joint," Phoebe said.
Everyone walked out of the door of Diva's lair.
"Leo!" Piper exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"I don't know you tell me," Leo replied.
Piper put her hand over her mouth. "I'm sorry we left after you asked us not to."
"So am I," Cole added.
"Apology accepted but if I ask you not to leave you have to obey me, luckily the Elders allowed me to come down here and save you," Leo stated.
"It won't ever happen again," Piper promised hugging Leo.
"We can talk about this later can we just go?" Paige asked impatiently.
Cole and Phoebe shimmered away and Leo and Piper orbed away.
Paige mouth dropped open, "Oh no they didn't." She looked around and closed her eyes and orbed out of the lair.
Everyone was back in the manor.
"Did we leave you?" Phoebe asked smiling.
Paige frowned at her and burst into laughter.
"We just messing with you Paige," Piper assured her as she and Phoebe reached over and hugged Paige.
"I know one thing aren't you all glad that this nightmare is over?" Phoebe asked.
Paige and Piper answered Phoebe with yes. They hugged each other tightly and there stood three sisters of power, the Charmed Ones.
The attic was filled with a bluish white light and Leo appeared. "Piper?" Leo looked around the attic and ran to the door and threw it open. "Cole?" He continued calling their names as he went through the whole house and realized that they were gone.
