Chapter 4
Paige and Piper orbed into Piper's bedroom. Paige released her arms from Piper and tried to tuck a blanket around Piper. "Stop that! I can do it myself. I'm not a baby you know," Piper screeched at her obviously nervous sister. "Umm, I'm sorry. I'm going to go downstairs and see if Phoebe has found anything yet. Do you need." Paige started to say but when Piper glared at her she stopped. Paige orbed away and Piper began to cry. She didn't know what to do and with Leo gone she felt very alone almost as alone as when Prue died. "Ah, maybe I should of let Paige put that blanket on me," Piper said to herself. She tried to reach for the blanket but that didn't work so she tried to sit up but instead of doing that she fell off the bed and hit the ground with a loud thump. Piper screamed with frustration knowing all too well if she was going to get through this she would need to let her sisters help her but she already felt helpless and she didn't want to let anyone know that.
Paige and Phoebe were scrying to see if they could find the ruby when they heard a loud bang coming from upstairs. "Umm, what was that?" Phoebe asked. "I think it was Piper, but that is only a guess." Paige answered, "should we go get her?" "Just wait a minute, you know she doesn't want any help so maybe if she realises she needs help she will call for us. She's going to break and when that happens we have to be ready except we have to let her break," Phoebe said. "Well this sucks I hate leaving her there knowing she is stuck on the floor," Paige muttered. The sisters waited for a few minutes waiting for any sign that Piper might be breaking and call for help but it never came. "Well I guess we better go help her," Phoebe said as she ran for the stairs followed close by Paige.
Leo was beginning to feel extremely exhausted, he had been spending the last few hours trying to orb out of his prison. He was very worried about his wife and her sisters. What am I going to do, Leo thought to himself. While Leo was trying to figure a way out of there he hadn't noticed a demon blink into the room. The demon slowly approached Leo intrigued by the whitelighters determination to get free. "Well, well, well. I see your eager to leave," the demon stated. "What's it to you?" Leo asked. "Why aren't we a little cocky. I just came to say hello and see how your doing," he said trying to convince Leo of this. "Well then I apologise oh holy one," Leo snorted. The demon wasn't impressed at Leo's level of arrogance and sent an energy flying towards Leo's chest. "Next time I assure you that will be a lot more painful," the demon growled at Leo before he blinked out of the room. Good move Leo, he thought to himself.
Phoebe and Paige came running into Pipers room and saw their sister lying on the floor crying. They ran over to her and put their hands on her shoulders. "I, I ..," Piper bawled. "What is it honey?" Phoebe questioned in a soothing tone. "I need your help, please," Piper squeaked, "I cant do this. I just cant." Piper raised her hands and her sisters grabbed them and helped her onto the bed. "Come on Piper, you don't have to hold it together for us. We are a couple of the people you can be weak around, we promise we wont tell," Paige giggled and gave her older sister a big hug. "That's right Piper, and come on Paige and I need your help to find Leo and don't worry about your legs we are the charmed ones we can do anything," Phoebe protested and she grabbed her sisters and they shared a group hug before returning to the book of shadows to conjure up a plan.
