Chapter 14
He was always doing his boss's dirty work. 'Eiron, do this, Eiron do that, Eiron go destroy the Charmed Ones'. It was ridiculous, but he would show them. He'd found a way to break the Power of Three forever. There wasn't any half-breed sister waiting to come and step in this time. He'd made sure there was no way to reunite the Charmed link once another sister died. It hadn't been hard to pick who it would be. They had made that very easy on him. The middle one, Phoebe, always seemed to be the one way into their defenses. She was the weak part of the 'all powerful trio'. Her sisters saved her countless times yet she continually found a way to inadvertently destroy them all. First, she fell in love with a demon. Then, she was off with her 'boyfriend' while her older sister was murdered by Shax, then she became the Queen of all evil...She just never could get it right. Now, she was lying in a hospital with a bullet through her. Eiron smiled wickedly at the thought of poisoning her slowly. She wouldn't survive this, he was sure. Laughing, he began to shimmer away before being stopped by an upper-level demon. "The master wants to see you about the Charmed Ones," he told Eiron before leaving. Eiron growled in frustration. "Oh Eiron..," he said scornfully to himself.

"My liege," he said and dropped to one knee in reverence. "Get up," said a hooded figure. Eiron complied and waited, head down, for his new orders. "I have found that the youngest sister, Paige, is finding a way to bring the dead back. We must make sure this happens before you kill the other. We can't have them sending the eldest back to take the place of the one dead now can we? Go now. Do not fail, Eiron. You know what happens if you fail," the Master told him, then sent a fireball spinning by him into another demon. "Yes, my liege," he said and bowed out quickly. Great, now he had to wait until the time was right. Or did he? "I am not following another order. I will kill two of them. Insurance. Yes, then I will become powerful. Others will follow me," Eiron thought gleefully. He glanced around, searching for any onlookers. Finding there were none, he shimmered out.

"Paige," Prue said, organizing her thoughts, "I have to tell you that I don't want you to do this. It wouldn't be fair for them to lose a sister, only to have me come back. It doesn't balance out and it isn't right. They will remember. I'm sure of it. It will be impossible to get over. They haven't had time to get to know you. You know Piper, she won't ever forgive herself. Phoebe only made it through my death because of you. Without you,she is going to be lost. Don't you understand? They NEED you, not me. They miss me, yes, and I, them, but they are just starting to move on. Please, don't do it. I love you, you know. I know that sounds weird. I don't know you, right? I've been watching you Paige. It's almost like watching a younger me. I love your determination and your drive and I love how you take care of them. I do love you. We bonded when I came back. That won't ever change. Maybe one of these day They will let me visit. It IS possible. This isn't the only way around it." Prue took a deep breath and stared at Paige, expecting an argument. "They need us BOTH, Prue. I realised that when I read this," she said, holding up the letter, "I know you told her to do it. I'm glad. So, here's what I'm thinking. We go in there, TOGETHER, and we don't leave until they either kick us both out, or give in to what we want." Prue stared in awe of her baby sister. That sounded like an idea she would have, HAD had. "You do want to come back, right," Paige said, biting her lip. "Of course," Prue said, hugging her, "Shall we?" Paige took Prue's outstretched hand and together they walked towards the 'Great Walls'.

Piper looked up, expecting to see Glenn or Leo. Instead it was a doctor. "Something wrong?," she asked warily. "No, just need to add something to her medication," the doctor told her. Piper moved away to give him room. When he was done, he smiled and left the room. Then, Glenn did come in. "Piper, I am really worried. Paige isn't anywhere. Please, tell me what happened before I go crazy!," he demanded. Piper sighed. She had to tell him something. "I'm not sure where she is," she admitted, "but she's fine." Glenn looked unconvinced. Leo came in behind him. "She's with the Elders, Glenn," he said. Piper nodded, suspecting that very thing. Glenn looked slightly confused. "They are like my...OUR bosses," Leo explained. Glenn nodded, understanding. (sort of) Then the room was filled with noise. Piper looked fearfully at Phoebe and saw her sister's body convulsing. "Leo, go get a doctor, or a nurse or something," she screamed before turning back to Phoebe. "Damnit, Phoebe, don't do this. I can't lose you. You have to be alright. Do you hear me? I don't know what is going on, but you have to fight. I need you here. Paige does too. We can't make it without you. Come on Phoebe," she yelled at her sister. She tried to hold her, but Phoebe was convulsing wildly. Piper watched, helpless, as the room filled with doctors and nurses. "Ma'am, we need you to leave," a nearby woman said and tried to lead her out. "NO! I am not leaving. I won't," she said firmly. She was grabbed by someone else and was slowly forced to leave. "Phoebe! Phoebe answer me. Wake up and answer me! You have to be alright. Please. Please, you have to be alright." The door was shut before she could come back in. Piper slid to the floor. Leo tried to get her to move from the door into a chair somewhere, but Piper refused to budge an inch. "Please be alright," she repeated to herself over and over.
