Chapter 3
"We are not going to let you do that. We'll get her back some other way. Neither of you are going back there." Phoebe said. Piper nodded. Paige looked down.
"Even if you guys went, he wouldn't give her back." Cole answered. Tori and Taylor nodded.
"That's why. If we went back, we know every room in that house bye heart. All we'd have to is play pretend like we want to be evil grab her and get back here. It'll be easier than last time, on account we can just flame and blaze back." Taylor said. Harley and Melinda nodded.
"It's a plan. Besides if we really needed to couldn't Uncle Cole or someone shimmer and watch them?" Melinda answered. Phoebe looked at Cole.
"Harley, Melinda take Devin to his room." Piper ordered. Melinda rolled her eyes. Harley rumbled, both of them hated it when they were sent away. Taylor and Tori watched as their cousins left the room.
"It's the only way. Besides, uh-" Tori paused, She'd been avoiding calling Phoebe or Cole anything since they first got here. "Um, dad could just watch us anyway. He won't hurt us." Tori finished. Cole smiled. He loved hearing that. He noticed the pause, and knew it'd be hard to call someone that who they didn't quite know. Phoebe looked at Cole and smiled. Seeing Tori and Taylor had made that old flame come alive again.
"Cole, do not let anything happen-" Phoebe started. Cole smiled.
"I won't." Cole interrupted. Piper was on the verge of tears.
"He won't wait for an answer. You better take us there." Taylor said. Cole nodded, and reached for their hands. Taylor looked at Piper and smiled, reassuring her that they weren't going to fail. Piper returned the smile, although it was half hearted.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You don't seem upset, Balthazar." Pratt exclaimed, Taylor and Tori were now by his side, and that made Cole almost collapse.
"I'll have the rest of my life for that." Cole answered. He was almost positive the expression of jealousy was obvious beyond question.
"You two, hit the weights." Pratt ordered sternly. Cole raised an eyebrow, and immediately felt the rage vibrate through his body. No one ordered his family around, no one. Taylor and Tori looked up at Pratt. "What did I just say?" Pratt practically shouted. The two took off, toward the back of the room to the serious of weight sets.
"Where's Prue?" Cole asked, getting upset. Pratt laughed.
"I didn't know you'd fall for that Turner." Pratt said. Cole nodded.
"I'll be back." Cole exclaimed as he shimmered out. He peeked in the window, and watched Pratt grab Taylor off the weights. He shook her and picked her up so they're eyes met.
"What's the plan?" Pratt asked. Tori stopped lifting weights. "Keep going bitch." Steve ordered. Tori rolled her eyes and kept doing bicep curls. "What is it?" Pratt asked, almost screaming.
"There is none." Taylor said, not showing her intimidation. Pratt put her down. Cole watched from outside and noticed that Tori was lifting too much for someone of her size and age. Pratt smiled at Taylor, and then looked at Tori.
"Okay. You decided to run away. I don't know how you even knew about what happened, but the fact is you are never getting back there. Tori stopped lifting the weights. Taking two days off really set her back. She took a deep breath, and felt Pratt's eyes glare at her. "Why are you stopping? Fine to weak? Take five miles." Pratt ordered. Tori sprung to her feet, and Taylor went to her side.
"I want it under seventeen minutes got it? Good." Pratt ordered. Tori looked at Cole through the corner of her eye, and he smiled at her. Both girls took off at a fast pace.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tori climbed out of bed, every muscle of her body ached, and she felt her stomach gag. The liquid climbed to the top of her throat and she ran to the bathroom. The slimy liquid launched out of her mouth, and landed in the toilet. She though of waking up at the manor, it was the complete opposite. She got up, and looked at her alarm clock that woke her up. 4:30. she'd decided to look for Prue, she knew if she could find her cousin that maybe she could prevent what ever they had in mind for the eight year old. She quickly got dressed, in green baggy pants and a white tank top. She began searching rooms, and finally, she saw Prue sleeping peacefully on a small bed. Tori ran to her.
"Prue, Prue, wake up I'm going to get you out of here." Tori said in a soft tone, gently shaking her. Prue opened her eyes and looked at Tori.
"Tori!" Prue exclaimed giving her cousin a hug. Tori laughed and hugged back.
"Shhhhhh." Tori exclaimed, taking her cousin by the hand to the nearest phone. She dialed the number that she'd memorized, and waited for an answer. Piper, very tiredly answered the phone.
"Taylor, Tori?" (Piper) answered, getting more awake.
"Hey, uh Prue's with me right now, I think it'd be best if Uncle Leo came, so that Pratt couldn't sense him." (Tori)
"Okay. How's Taylor, are you guys okay?" (Piper)
"Yeah, Taylor just came and I think Pratt's coming so tell Uncle Leo to come now." (Tori)
"Okay, he's on his way be careful." (Piper)
"Bye." (Tori)
"Bye sweetie." (Piper)
"They're awesome kids Pheebs." Piper said, looking at Phoebe who nodded her head.
"I know." She answered with a smile on her face.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I don't know why I can't orb you guys out." Leo exclaimed, holding Prue's hand.
"I don't know why either, we can't even get out." Tori replied, looking around the room.
"Pratt did something. Take Prue back, we'll get away just like before." Taylor said, checking the hallway to make sure no one was coming. Leo nodded.
"Fine but Cole's going to watch you in the mean time." Leo said, knowing he didn't have a choice because time was so short. Tori and Taylor flashed him quick smiled before he orbed out.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"TELL ME!" Pratt yelled. Tori hit the wall, making a thump. She felt her wrist bend back as she tried to catch herself. The crack almost echoed through the living room of the huge house. Taylor grimaced at the snap that assured a break.
"Leave her alone! We were trying to stop him!" Taylor ordered, stepping in between Pratt and Tori. Tori smiled, that was one thing the twins could count on, each other. He used an energy ball to send Tori to the left, out of the way. Tori stood, facing Pratt. She walked over to him, and stared at him in the eye. He slapped her, making her take a step to the right. She felt the burn on her face, and could almost pinpoint where his fingers were. Her wrist now began to throb.
"Bitch. I took you in to my home, and you betray me? Both of you are going to pay for it." Pratt yelled. Tori looked up at him. He began waving his arms, and fire shot out of his left hand, and hit Tori in the knee, knocking her on her stomach. Cole watched from the window, try as he might he couldn't shimmer into the house. He hated seeing this; it was making him sick to his stomach. Tori now exhausted and beat up was throwing up. He finally managed to break the window. He ran to his daughter, and put an arm on her back.
"You'll pay for that Turner. All three of you." Pratt yelled. Suddenly, caged bars appeared around Cole and Tori. Tori sat up, and leaned on Cole who was trying to support her. Taylor, who was standing looked at Pratt. She sent a stream of ice, that he only melted with his fire.
"I know your strategy, hell I taught it." Pratt said. Cole looked at his daughter, who kept trying to injure Pratt, over and over and over. He took her by the arm and led her out of the room. Cole tried to see him, but realized he went to far away.
"Hey, you okay?" Cole asked, bending down to Tori. Tori nodded and lifted the leg of her pant leg up. The burn was pretty deep. Cole made a half smile. "You're tuff kid." Cole said. Tori smiled and nodded.
"What do you expect I'm a Turner." Tori replied. Cole smiled, he knew Tori had completely shut the 'Trieber' side of her life out, and actually enjoyed it. He heard a small, almost a yelp and stood up.
"What that Taylor?" Cole asked. Looking at Tori who nodded slowly. He tried everything he could to somehow remove the bars.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What are you doing?" Taylor asked, in almost complete horror. She tried to scramble away, only now in a sports bra and jeans. Steve grabbed her arm and through her on the bed. Tears started streaming down her face as she tried to get out from under him.
"Your father needs to experience the feeling of complete anger, and he can only get that, about three ways." Pratt said. Taylor screamed for her sister and her father but she knew they wouldn't come. She felt his hands feel her body as she cried out for help. She again tried to freeze him (Literally, Ice) but nothing happened.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Finally." Cole almost shouted as the cage bars rose. He helped Tori up, and ran to where a weak cry still lingering in the hallways. Tori limped behind him, knowing that neither one of them knew what exactly was going on. They reached a bedroom, where the cry's poured out of Taylor's mouth. Cole felt his stomach rage, it felt like a burning fire as he forced himself into the room, and stopped, in complete shock of what he saw. Pratt stood over Taylor with a knife. Blood was all over the sheets, and Taylor's clothes were scattered throughout the room.
"Get away from her!" Cole ordered. His voice almost quivering with anger, he through an energy ball, which didn't affect Steve at all.
"Play along, Turner. We'll have fun." Pratt said as he shimmered out. Cole ran to Taylor. She was hung half way off the bed, with multiple stab wounds mostly on her arms.
"Oh my god." Tori exclaimed. Her voice in extreme horror as she ran to her sister's side. Cole closed his eyes, and slowly opened them again. Tears still poured from Taylor's eyes, and the blood kept leaking out of her body onto the sheets.
"LEO!" Cole yelled. Finally the white lighter immerged from his white and blue orbs. He stared at Taylor in disbelief. He ran to her and put his hands over her, but nothing happened. Tori's eyes now gave out tears of sorrow as she watched her sister lay limply over the bed.
"It's not working." Leo confronted, sadly looking at his weak niece. Cole shook his head.
"Then Tori call 911." Cole said, moving Taylor to a more comfortable spot on the bed, and covering her. All ready dark circles appeared around her eyes, as she looked at the people in the room. Tori nodded and ran to the phone.
A/N: I know its moving fast, but I'm trying to cover a lot.. So I can get to the Cole and Phoebe part of the story! ( PLEASE REVIEW!!!! PLEASE!!!!
