1 The Illness

1.1 Chapter 3



AN: I know I know. I haven't updated this story in like forever. I am sooooo sorry. I've just been very busy and wrote a few other stories, but I am finally back to this one. I promise that I will post the next chapter a lot sooner than I did this one. Thanx a bunch and please review.

"Phoebe…Prue is going to make it. She's strong." Piper said not sounding so sure.

"I know Piper, I just…I didn't…I mean…God! I just don't want to loose her."

"I know Phoebe…I know." Piper said and walked over to Phoebe. She put her arm around her little sister and hugged her. Just then Prue started to cough. Piper and Phoebe immediately rushed over to their sister trying to comfort her.

"Prue?" Phoebe softly said while holding her sister's hand.

"Prue, can you hear us sweetie?" Piper said as she rubbed Prue's head. Prue's eyes started to flutter and she looked towards Phoebe.

"Phoebe?"

"Yeah it's me." Phoebe said with tears starting to form in her eyes. "How ya feeling?"

Prue took a deep breath before she answered. "I feel like dying."

"What?! Prue no, don't do that to us!" Piper almost screamed.

"Relax Piper…I…I was just joking…around." It was hard for Prue to talk. She had to take deep breaths in between her words.

"Dammit Prue you scared us."

"Sorry…I…I didn't' mean t…to."

"Sweetie its ok. We're just very worried, that's all." Phoebe said as she rubbed her sister's head.

"Where are we?"

"Remember I told you about that witch who got this illness? We are at her house. Her name is Rebecca." Piper told her sister.

"Oh." Was Prue's reply as she closed her eyes.

"Prue are you ok?"

"No" Prue said as she started to really cough now. She was coughing uncontrollably as Piper and Phoebe were rubbing her back.

"Prue…" Piper said the worry evident in her voice. As her coughing died down, Rebecca came into the room carrying a bowl of warm soup.

"Well I see you're awake. My name is Rebecca." She said as she placed the bowl on the nightstand next to the bed.

"Prue." Prue said looking at Rebecca. "Thank you for…every…everything you are do…doing for us."

"Oh there's no need for thanks. It is my pleasure to help a fellow witch at anytime, especially the Charmed Ones. I've heard many things about the three of you."

"Really? Good things I hope" Phoebe said.

"Yes, you three are pretty popular."

"A little too popular if you ask me." Piper whispered under her breath referring to all the demon attacks they have been getting recently.

"Well, I'll be in the kitchen mixing up a potion for you to ease some of your pain." Rebecca said looking at Prue.

"Thank you." Prue said as she watched Rebecca leave the room. "She seems nice"

"Yeah she is. She's helping a lot." Phoebe said as she reached for the bowl of soup that Rebecca had left in the room.

"Come on Prue you have to eat."

"I'm not very hungry."

"Come on Prue open up for the choo choo train." Phoebe joked while she held up a spoon of soup near Prue's mouth. Prue reluctantly gave in to her baby sister.

"Awww the roles are reversed now." Piper said looking at her two sisters.

"I remember…when I used…used to feed y…you Pheebs." Prue said.

"Yeah…" Phoebe said as she all of a sudden got tears in her eyes. Prue noticed the sudden change in her sister.

"Phoebe what's…what's wrong?"

"I just don't want to lose you Prue." Phoebe whispered.

"Phoebe I'm not going anywhere." Prue said as she pulled her sister into a hug. "I promise I wont leave you two." She added looking at Piper. Piper soon joined the hug. They stayed that way until Phoebe noticed the Prue had fallen asleep in her arms. Her and Piper gently laid Prue down and stood up.

"She always keeps her promises, right Piper?" Phoebe asked a little unsure.

"Yeah Phoebe, she always does." Piper replied and pulled her baby sister into a hug.

"Why don't we go help Rebecca with her potion."

"Ok" Phoebe said as she let Piper lead her out of the room.
