Another World

Chapter 2

Elsewhere, Prue and Cole were walking through what could have been streets at one time. They had been walking for a few hours and hadn't seen any type of living creature. "This place gives me the creeps." Prue, although she probably would never admit it, was starting to warm up to Cole. They had been stuck together for a few hours and in that time she got to know Cole a little better. She realized that he wasn't such a bad guy after all. She would never get over the fact that he was a demon, but at least it was a start. But technically, Cole wasn't a demon in this dimension, or wherever they were, because not only could they not use their powers, Cole could not transform into Belthazor either. 

"Yeah I know. I feel like someone is watching us."

"So have you ever heard of a place like this? Being a demon and all, you travel to different planes, right?"

"Yes, I have been to a lot of different planes, but none like this. I've never heard of a plane where your powers don't work."

"Wait. Stop. Did you hear that?" Prue motioned for Cole to stop.

"Hear what?" Cole turned to face Prue and was trying to listen for something out of the ordinary. They stood there for a few seconds, just listening, but there was no sound.

"I guess it was nothing." Prue said. They both turned around to keep walking, but were met with 4 men standing in front of them. Each of them were holding clubs in their hands. Prue looked behind them and saw about 5 more guys, all with clubs as well. "Uh, Cole." Prue motioned behind them, and Cole too saw the men. They were surrounded. "What do we do?" Prue asked, but before Cole could answer, the men started to really close in around them. One guy went to swing the club at Prue, but she ducked out of the way and then punched him in the face. Another guy swung at Cole, and he too dodged it and fought back. Prue and Cole were so out numbered, and without their powers, the struggle didn't last long. They were both knocked unconscious in a matter of seconds. A truck drove up the road and stopped at where the fight had taken place. The driver got out and helped the men load Prue and Cole into the back of the truck.

"Who are they?" The driver asked one of the men.

"I don't know, we saw them a while ago and followed them. I don't think they know where they are."

"We'll take them to Craig. He'll decide what to do with them." The man nodded and motioned for all the other men to get into the truck. The driver got in and they drove off.

Pain was the first thing he felt. His head was throbbing and he could feel the blood dripping down his face. He didn't hear anything, but he wasn't sure if that was a good or bad sign. He finally opened his eyes only to shut them again from the swirl of images that he saw. It took him a minute before his eyes focused. Sitting up, he looked around and saw that he appeared to be in some kind of cell. The cement walls were bare apart from the one door in the corner, and the dirt ground was cool to the touch. When he looked down to his right he could see Prue still unconscious. Gently shaking her he said, "Prue?" trying to wake her up. Prue rolled over and opened her eyes only to be met with the same swirl of images. "You alright?"

"Cole?"

"Yeah"

"Where are we?" Prue said when she was able to sit up and look around. She put her hand to her head to feel the sticky liquid that she knew was blood. "My head hurts."

"Yeah so does mine." Prue finally turned to look at Cole and could see the blood dripping down his face. Cole saw the face that Prue made when she saw the blood and quickly used his sleeve to try and clean his face.

"How long have you been up?"

"Only about 5 minutes. I have no idea where we are though."

"This is just great! No powers, we don't know where we are, we have no way of contacting my sisters, and we don't know how to get home!! We could use a little help here!" Prue yelled the last part towards the ceiling.

"Prue"

"Sorry, it's just I bet this is the work of the all mighty Elders. I swear this is how they amuse them selves." Cole smiled and then turned serious.

"To tell you the truth Prue, I don't think this has anything to do with the Elders. I know they can be a real pain in the ass, but why would they separate the power if three? It just doesn't seem like they would do that."

"Then what? Are you saying that a demon did this?"

"Probably the Source. Maybe he was aiming for me and you just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or maybe he was aiming for all three of you and just messed up. I don't think we'll ever know until we get home."

"If we get home."

"When" Cole stated. Prue had to smile at Cole as he tried to reassure her.

"Ok…when."
