Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, but the story is mine. (woo-hoo) I am praying no one sues me!! If their are any spells and unless I tell you different, I will have obtained them from thecharmedworld.com, so they aren't mine either!
AN: Ann, I haven't a clue how to double space the documents, but I will try and figure it out. Sorry if it is hard to read, but I'll work on it! Thanks for the reviews everyone! I love feedback, it helps my writing!!!!!!!
Chapter 19
Phoebe was back alright, but something was incredibly wrong. She wasn't moving, or speaking. Her stare was unblinking and seemed not to actually be looking at anything. Piper was crouched beside her, trying to force Phoebe to look at her. "Come on, Phoebe. Look at me damnit! Say something. Are you ok?," Piper asked pleadingly. Paige forced her eyes from the scene to look accusingly at Dmitri. "What did you do to her?," she demanded, hands on hips. "I don't know what is wrong. This wasn't supposed to happen. I...maybe her soul just hasn't caught up with her physical body," he said, as confused as the rest. Paige was livid. "Wasn't supposed to happen, but it IS happening so fix it!," she said, nearly shouting. "I don't know how. Give her some time. Maybe it will get better," he offered. "Magically," Paige scoffed, "I've had enough of you "miracles"!" "Shhhhh," Piper said, stopping the argument. Phoebe was mumbling something and trying to focus her eyes on the face in front of her. "Piper?," she asked timidly. Relieved, Piper answered, "Yeah, honey, it's me. You ok?" Phoebe looked scared and confused. "Why are you here? You arent...," Phoebe asked. Piper shook her head. "No, sweety, we got you back. You're here with us," Paige said, joining them. "That means Prue kept her promise. Everything IS ok," Phoebe said, smiling slightly. That made them all cry. Piper and Paige dragged her into their arms, clinging tightly to the one they'd *almost* lost.
"Leo, where is she?," Prue demanded. Leo shook his head, bewildered. "I don't know. I told you, she couldn't have just disappeared!," he insisted. "Well, she did and I want to know why!," Prue said. Her eyes lit up as she got an idea. "Leo...try and sense her," Prue said excitedly. "I told you I can't," Leo started, but stopped when he realised what she was thinking. Closing his eyes, he concentrated on Phoebe. "Got her!," Leo said incredulously after a moment. "They found a way!," Prue said, "Come on, let's go have a conference with the Elders and find out more." She didn't wait for a reply, but took his hand and dragged him along with her.
Phoebe felt an uncontrollable amount of anger envelop her. She felt an irresistable urge to scream, and scream she did. Paige and Piper jerked back, startled. "Phoebe! What's wrong?," Piper asked, worried. Phoebe stopped screaming and looked around wildly. Her eyes locked on Dmitri. "You!," she shouted, "What are you doing here?" Dmitri started, then he realised something. "Paige, Piper. You need to get out of here," he said. "Why? What's wrong with her?," Paige asked, terrified. "When someone is resurrected, they come back with the same emotion they felt before they died, only it's worse, much worse. Obviously your sister was mad, only now it's pure rage. Which is why I say you need to go. NOW," he said, fearing for their safety. "Yeah, right. Like we would ever leave her like THIS. That isn't in our blood," Piper said. Phoebe was tearing the room apart. SHe began throwing things and Paige had to duck to avoid a book. "Phoebe," Piper said, starting toward her. Phoebe turned to look at her, and Piper felt a tremor of fear. She had never feared her sister before, and she wasn't going to let it get in her way now. "Calm down and talk to us," Piper continued, still moving. This time, it was Piper avoiding an object. A chair. "Hey! Listen to me!." Piper said loudly. Phoebe stopped, uncertain. Piper felt more confident now that she had her attention. "Take a deep breath, honey, and calm down!," she said firmly. Phoebe hesitated, then picked up a lamp. "Phoebe!," Paige said, helping Piper, "Put it down and talk to us." Phoebe, surprisingly, obeyed. "Good. Now why don't you tell us what's wrong," Piper said. Phoebe let her body relax. Piper and Paige, sensing the storm was over, closed the distance between them. "I don't know what it was. I was fine, then I just got really, really mad," Phoebe said honestly. "Dmitri said that you were angry before you...I mean before..you know," Piper said, unable to use the word, "and that's why you were so angry just then." Paige placed her hand on Phoebe's shoulder, trying to comfort her a little. "I was mad, but at nobody but myself. I was mad because I couldn't help you. You looked so sad and I didn't understand why I couldn't just force myself to get up and hug you. I wanted to so bad, but I just couldn't comprehend what was wrong. When I finally realised it was ME making you so sad, I got really angry. You guys are always there for me to make me feel better, or give me a hug, and I wanted to do the same for you. It just didn't seem fair that I had to lay there and let you be upset," Phoebe explained. By then, they were all crying. "Don't you do that to yourself, got it?," Paige said softly, but angrily and pulled her into a hug. Piper wrapped her arms around both of them, both giving and recieving the comfort they needed.
"Resurrected?!," Prue said, disbelieving, "What about the injuries Phoebe sustained before she died? Doesn't she still have them?" Leo had thought about the very same thing, but wasn't near as vocal about his thoughts to the Elders. "No," Thomas said simply, infuriating Prue. "Yeah, sure. They just magically went away!," she scoffed. "Yes, actually, they did," Thomas answered. "Fine. Then how are they going to explain this to the people who know about Phoebe's situation?," Prue demanded. Thomas turned to look at Leo. "That is your job, Leo. We need you to take care of it," he said. Leo nodded and orbed out. "Ok, if you have this all figured out...How are they? Since you won't let me see them!," Prue said angrily. The Elders looked around at each other. "Prudence, we have been meaning to talk to you about that rule...", Thomas said, smiling.
