Part 6
Why can't things be the way the used to be?
Why can't I feel the way; I used to feel?
Back in the days when it all worked out was it all in my mind?
And now it won't come out when I don't think I'll get by
When I feel that I need to cry
It hurts me even more to think how it was before
Malichi Relaxed in his 'throne'. He had taken out two charmed ones, or so he thought.
So now the other two had no way to reconcile the power of three. They were easy
picking. All he had to do was take them by surprise. Humming to himself he picked up
his sword and blinked out.

"The elder's have heard rumours of a warlock with the rare power to bring back
emotions. He's kept to himself his whole existence. They think he was planning this for
years and didn't want to earn himself a page in the book. He's a simple warlock with a
strong power, all you need is the 'Power of Three' spell." Leo explained.
"Do we have the power of three?" Phoebe asked uncertainly.
Leo frowned, "yes, Prue is still a witch she just has some extra abilities now."
"Will killing him reverse what he's done?" Piper asked not sure if she wanted to hear
the answer.
Leo sighed, "I don't know."
Prue cleared her throat. "Glenn, you have to stay out of the way for a bit."
"No, Prue, I have to be here. Incase... you get her back."
"Prue's right. Paige would never forgive us if we let you get hurt." Piper said flinching
as she said her baby sisters name. She saw Glenn was about to argue again. "Glenn,
will you go to P£ and make sure everything is ok there? We'll call you the second we
vanquish him."
Glenn let his shoulders slump. "Ok, but please call me the second you know
something."
They each nodded again and pulled him into a group hug before he left.
Prue instantly took charge. Focussing on the warlock let them put their grief to the
back of their minds.
"Ok, we need to come up with a summoning spell for the warlock."
Piper and Phoebe followed Prue as she started towards the kitchen.
Just beyond the foyer, Malichi blinked in carrying a scary looking sword. He almost
dropped it when he saw 3 charmed ones before him. He hesitantly lashed out with his
sword.
Prue fell to the clutching at her stomach where Malichi had managed to slash her. Leo
ran to Prue while Piper tried to freeze/blow him up. Failing on both accounts. Unlike
most demon's he didn't stop to explain, instead he went after Piper.
Piper backed away looking for a weapon anywhere but not seeing anything useful,
unless she was going to batter him to death with some flowers. Phoebe tried to help
her by jumping on his back.
Malichi rammed Into the wall, causing Phoebe to lose her grip as she tried to fight off
the darkness. He kicked her in the head for good measure and smiled at the sound of
bone cracking.
Prue was healed in time to see this and she was about to go psycho on his ass. "Leo,
heal her now!"
She delivered a round house kick to his neck followed by a few well placed punches to
his neck. While he was gagging Prue Tked his sword deep into the wall.
Prue had her back turned to him when she couldn't hold her anger in any longer. She
started laying into his sorry-excuse-for-a-warlock-ass.
Piper saw Phoebe slowly climbing to her feet and knew they had to vanquish him now,
She carefully approached Prue and literally had to drag her away. She took a pretty
good hit to the eye doing so.
Piper tightened her grip on Prue's hand and Latched onto Phoebe's. They started the
infamous Power of three chant and within minutes Malichi exploded into flames.
"Everyone ok?" Leo asked quickly.
He received three nods.
"I'll make some tea or something." He said, leaving the room. He had learned a lot in
the last 4 years. One thing was when they needed a sister moment.
Piper turned to face her sisters. They each gasped at the sight of her bruised eye. Prue
gently put her hand on Piper's face.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get you." she said sincerely as she called on her power and
healed the black eye.
Piper let out a half smile, "It was all in a good cause."
Phoebe interrupted her big sisters, "She's not coming back, is she?"
Piper and Prue exchanged looks.
"She would be back now if killing him reversed it." Prue stated sadly.
Tears were streaming down Piper's face, "I can't go through it again. I won't. It hurt so
much, Prue."
Prue pulled both her sisters into a tight embrace, "I know." Was all she could choke
out.
"There's a way. I heard of something. I can't let you go through it again. Any of you.
And I can't leave Paige suffering."
Piper looked at her husband, "How?"
"It involves dark arts, Also a test of some sort. A witch not to far away performed it
around a year ago. If we can get in touch with her, we can try and get Paige back
where she belongs." Leo said. He truly felt like a bother to Piper's sisters and he wasn't
about to let one of them rot in hell.
