Hmm... thanks for being patient, lol, I have had practically no time at all to write this, what with all the exams and assignments of late. Nearing end of term though, so yeah... that's good. Hehe... I'm enjoying writing fanfic, it's different, for me... I figured though there's quite a way until the end of this though... but hey, you guys have to wait to find out what's in store... and what's not. Hehe. Also I realise the spell in the last chapter had the wrong action to it, it was meant to be like that, because I hate how the spells on Charmed... always... work according to plan... I just wanted something to go slightly different. This chapter probably doesn't have perfect grammer, spelling etc... because I don't have time to go back and check that now. I have to go study. Also I realise my Aussie slang is slipping through on the odd occasion, please excuse me for that. So yes, um, please read, and if you're really nice maybe review? Thanks.

Phoebe stumbled forward in the darkness, new to her surroundings. It took her several seconds to find her footing, and balance. She let out a sigh. 'Um… hello?' Phoebe looked around in the dark, trying not to panic.

'Yeah… Pheebs? I'm here… Paige, Paige are you here?' Asked Piper, trying to work out where her sisters were.

'Ow.' Came Paige's response. 'I think I hit my head.'

'Can either of you guys see anything?' Asked Piper. 'Gosh I'm cold.' She added as an afterthought.

'Light… we need light.' Muttered Phoebe. To her surprise an energy ball was formed, merely a few feet away from her. Phoebe shrieked and jumped backwards, coming to rest a foot or two off the ground.

'What? You wanted light.'

'Cole?' Phoebe's eyes widened, as Cole's face appeared to her, the light being reflected off it from the energy ball. She blushed and levitated down to the ground. 'How did you…?'

'Jumped the orb.'

'Oh.' Phoebe moved towards Cole, as did Piper and Paige. When all had found each other in the darkness, they joined hands and Cole extinguished the energy ball. 'Why can't you keep the energy ball?' Moaned Phoebe. 'How am I supposed to know I'm not stepping in a hole or something?'

'If we have it then whatever we're up against might see us.' Cole replied.

'Yeah, that's presuming The Powers That Be brought us to the right dammed place.' Remarked Piper.

'Um… guys… wasn't the spell supposed to bring our babies to us? Not us to them?' Paige asked, confused.

'Yeah… you're right, it must've backfired somehow.' Piper replied. 'Wait… does that mean I'm wearing a hospital gown? No wonder it's cold.'

'Here sweetie.' Phoebe handed to Piper her overcoat. 'This might help.' Piper put on the coat and smiled.

'Thanks.' Piper responded.

'So where do you think we are?' Asked Phoebe. 'Cole, does this place look familiar to you?'

Cole looked around. From what he could make out, there were rock walls on either side of him, and overhead as well. 'No, but then again I can't see much. I'm guessing we're in a cave though, probably underground, so we're probably in some lonely abandoned part of Hell.'

'Oh…' Phoebe stopped, unsure of what to say.

'Okay, guys, task at hand. We have a backfiring spell, leaving Kaitlyn with Leo at the risk of more… demonic… forces showing up. We have three kids lost in god knows where this place is or what its called. And we have the tiny little problem of what the hospital is going to think when they discover Piper's not there anymore.' Snapped Paige. 'Furthermore, we are in complete darkness, I'm hungry, and this place is giving me the creeps so can we please just get this over with?!'

'Sheesh, Paige.' Commented Cole dryly. He looked across at Phoebe and Piper, who, through the dim light he could see, were both gaping at their little sister. 'Okay ladies! You heard the girl, let's move!' He added, smirking.

'Alright, alright, we're moving.' Phoebe moaned. 'Come on then are you going to follow?' Phoebe grabbed Cole's hand, and the two of them searched for some sort of passageway. When they had found it, they led Piper and Paige down it, quietly and ever so slowly. They continued like this for at least 15 minutes, Paige whining every now and then, when her foot came in contact with a rock, or she ran into one of the others. Finally they came to a point in the passage, where it forked out into two.

'Which way now?' Asked Phoebe. She looked down the fork to the right, which was dimly lit, wide, and seemingly empty. She looked down the left fork, to see darkness, and nothingness. 'Well I know which one I'd prefer.'

'Shh… I think someone's coming.' Said Cole, protectively wrapping his arms around Phoebe and pulling her back out of view of the corridor to the right. Piper crept forward just enough to see anyone who came down the passageway, and Paige hid behind Cole and Phoebe.

Piper held her breath suddenly, as a figure rounded the corner and came into view in the dimly lit passage way. From that distance, she could make out nothing but his outline. He was tall, and wearing draping robes with a hood, from what she could see. Kind of Source-like thought Piper. She used one hand to signal to the others that someone was headed towards them. Cole was prepared to shimmer them out if the unknown man/creature got too close. However, he never got round to shimmering, because at that moment Piper let out a small, surprised gasp. She turned to the others, wide eyed and somewhat unnerved.

'What is it?!' Phoebe questioned.

'He vanished.' Piper replied.

'As in shimmered, blinked, flamed, orbed or smoked?' Asked Cole.

'No…' Piper stopped. 'As in disappeared through a wall.'

'The old disappearing through the wall trick… should've known.' Said Paige sarcastically.

'What is up with you?' Snapped Phoebe, turning around to face Paige. 'Ever since we got here I've heard nothing but whining and moaning from you. Do you not want the kids back? Look Paige, you're driving me up the wall so please just shut up.'

'Alright, alright… sorry.' Paige turned away from her sisters and Cole.

'Guys cut the bickering. Task at hand people, task at hand.' Then without another word, or a chance for anyone to reply, Piper crept forward into the dimly lit passage.

'Piper wait no.' Cole quickly moved after her. 'Piper! Piper…?'

'What happened Cole, where'd she go?' Phoebe asked, trying not to panic.

'No I think it's alright… it's just like she said though… she disappeared through a wall.' Cole led Phoebe and Paige, all holding hands, down the hall, and into the wall roughly at the point where Piper had disappeared. Immediately it felt like they were in a vacuum, being sucked quickly through the wall to whatever was on the other side. When they got there, however, they were in for quite a shock. They were in a large room, well lit unlike the passageways had been. Piper was crouched low, behind a pillar near where they had come in, and in front of her gathered a group no larger then 45, of the strange, demonic forces. Paige, Phoebe and Cole quickly ducked, and made their way to Piper. She turned to them, sighing quietly in the relief that it had not being another demonic creature coming to join the gathering. She quickly gestured for them to join her behind the pillar, but she was seconds too late.

The leader of the group, who was addressing the demonic forces, had seen Cole, Phoebe, and Paige's unauthorized entrance. 'I see we have unwelcome guests.' He sniped.
