1 The Illness
1.1 Chapter 5
Piper walked into the bedroom to find Phoebe cuddled up to Prue. They were both fast asleep. She decided to leave Phoebe, for she knew that her baby sister needed the rest. Piper just stood there looking at her sisters. She didn't know what she would do if Prue didn't make it. Phoebe would be so heart broken if Prue died, she would be losing the only mother she ever really knew. Piper was so caught up in her thoughts, she didn't even realize a demon had shimmered in behind her. The demon didn't want to take any chances of Piper seeing him, so he quickly hit her over the head, knocking her out. Piper hit the ground with a thud that made Phoebe jump out of the bed. "Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Phoebe started towards the demon who now had Piper in his arms, but was soon stopped when another demon shimmered in front of her. Two more demons shimmered in behind Phoebe and quickly knocked her out. At this moment Leo burst through the bedroom door followed by Rebecca. One of the demons picked Phoebe up, and all 4 demons shimmered out with Piper and Phoebe in their arms.
Down in the Underworld, the four demons shimmered into Zolar's chambers carrying an unconscious Piper and Phoebe in their arms. "What do we do with them?" Calus, one of the demons asked Zolar.
"Put them in the cell over there." On the other side of the chamber there was a jail like cell. The demons threw Piper and Phoebe in and locked the gate. By now Piper was starting to regain consciousness. She crawled over to Phoebe and sat with Phoebe's head in her lap. The demons had not noticed that Piper was awake and continued with their conversation.
"We did our job, now where is our reward?" Calus demanded more than asked.
"You will get your reward later from the Source. Now you should leave."
"No, we're not leaving without our reward."
"If you do not leave, the Source will not come, therefor you will not get your reward." Zolar was loosing his patience. The demons sensed this and reluctantly shimmered out. Zolar then turned his attention to Piper and Phoebe who were sitting in the cell. Phoebe had woken up in the middle of the demons argument and was now watching Zolar's every movement. "I see you have woken up."
"What do you want with us?" Piper asked.
"You'll find out soon enough. The Source will be coming in a little while and he will decide what to do with you."
"Whatever you're planning is not going to work." Phoebe said.
"Oh really? Who's going to save you? Huh? Your sister? She'll be dead in a few hours. Imagine, the great Prue Halliwell, strongest of the Charmed Ones, dead from an illness! Ha! I can hardly wait."
"Your wrong! Prue's not going to die!" Phoebe nearly shouted at the demon who was now walking away from them.
"Well, we'll find out sooner or later." Zolar replied and walked out of his chamber, leaving Piper and Phoebe alone, locked in their cell.
Back at Rebecca's house, Leo was freaking out. He couldn't sense Piper or Phoebe anywhere, which meant they were either dead or in the Underworld. But he knew they weren't dead, he would know if they were. So that meant that they had to be in the Underworld somewhere. Leo was pacing around Prue's room trying to think of a way to get them back. He couldn't go into the Underworld, he was no match for the demons. Just then Prue started to stir. Leo noticed and rushed over to Prue's side. Prue looked up at Leo and could see a mix of emotions in his eyes. First she saw worry. She guessed he was worried about her. But she could also see fear, confusion, and anger in his eyes.
"Leo…what's wrong?" Leo knew he had to tell Prue the truth. She would be able to tell he was lying if he said nothing was wrong. Even if she did believe him, she would ask for Piper or Phoebe, and what was she supposed to tell her then. He decided to just come out with it.
"There were demons Prue. A lot of them, like 4 or 5. I don't know I didn't get here in time. I came into the room when I heard a crash and I saw that Piper and Phoebe were both unconscious and they were in the demons arms. Then they shimmered out with them before I could do anything. I tried sensing them, but I can't. I think the demons took them to the Underworld."
"What!" Prue sat up a little to fast causing her head to spin. She fell back to the bed.
"Prue…Take it easy." Leo tried to calm Prue down.
"Leo, we have…have t…to save them." Prue said trying to get out of the bad, but with little success.
"Prue, no. You can't go down there. You're in no condition to be fighting."
"Leo I have to go." Prue said with determination in her voice. Leo knew he wasn't going to be able to stop Prue.
"I can help you." Rebecca said walking over to the bed. Prue hadn't noticed her come into the room.
"No…you ca…can't. I wont let…you risk….your life."
"Prue's right. You're helping us so much, if anything were to happen to you…" Leo trailed off.
"Fine, but I think I have something that will help you." Rebecca said. She turned towards Prue and handed her a glass of green liquid. Prue tried to hold the glass but she was too weak, so Leo took the glass out of her hands and held it for Prue.
"What is it?" Prue asked.
"It's a potion that will give you some of your strength back. If you're going to the Underworld, you need to be stronger. Now let me warn you, it's not going to make you feel 100%. Not even close. It will just give you some relief. And I don't know how long it will last."
"Thank you." Prue said. Leo gently lifted the glass to Prue's mouth and let her drink. Prue finished the whole glass and laid back for a few minutes. "Ok Leo. Lets go get them back." Prue stood up on shaky legs. She still was very weak, but at least she could stand. Actually that was about all she could do. She was relying on her power and Leo to help her get her sisters back. Leo helped Prue stand and put his arm around her waist to help support her.
"Are you sure you're up to this?" Leo asked.
"I have to be…Now lets go."
"Good luck." Rebecca said as she watched the two of them orb out.
