AN: Ok, you get a long part as i was writting it all last nite lol. Thanks for all the nice comments. A bit of angst get's everyone. Anyway, enjoy :D
Part 2
Phoebe strolled into the manor after a meeting with Elise. It'd been a pretty average, boring day but as she saw her big sister unconscious on the floor she knew it was going to turn out to be pretty eventful.
Running over to Piper she stopped short in shock at the site of her sister.
Blood and bruising covered her face, he leg lay at an awkward angle, bleeding through her cream pants. Piper was in the fetal position but the blood was wiped across the floor.
Phoebe felt the burning in her eyes when she realised Piper had crawled... perhaps fo her life or to try and get help.
Reaching out a shakey hand to her battered sisters neck she checked for a pulse.
The lump in her throat got bigger as she struggled to feel a weak thud.
Phoebe eased Piper's head into her lap and stroaked her hair.
"Prue! Leo! Paige! Someone!" She yelled at the ceiling.
Laying a gentle kiss on Piper's forehead she whispered, "Stay with me, sweetie. Just hang on a little more," She begged.
Leo orbed in a few feet away from his boken wife and Prue followed second's later.
Rushing forward Leo summoned his power and surrounded Piper with the warm yellow glow.
Prue stood in the same place she orbed in, paralysed wih fear.
"Leo?" Phoebe asked with hopeful eyes.
Leo nodded, "It's working. What the hell happened?"
"I- I don't know. I came home and found her like this." Phoebe said with tears streaming down her face.
Prue finally joined her sisters and brother in law, placing her hands over Piper she helped make short work of the healing.
Piper's eyes flickered open as she drew in a sharp breath.
Phoebe kept s hold of Piper to assure her she was safe while Leo and PRue still sat at her side.
"Piper? Are you ok?" Leo asked.
Piper looked at him with such pain in her eyes he felt like he had died inside. Tears began to cascade from her eyes.
"Honey, what happened?" Phoebe asked, fearing the worst.
Piper broke free of her little sister's grasp and sat up, knee's to her chest.
"She hit me, she kept hitting me. But Paige..."
"Piper, did this thing hurt Paige? Did it take her?" Prue demanded, needing to know that her baby sister was safe.
Piper shook her head, "It took her... Trapped her inside." Piper said cryptically.
"Piper, tell us exactly what happened." Phoebe said gently.
Leo, meanwhile, tried to sense Paige, his heart sinking when he couldn't.
Piper pulled herself together and started at the beginning.
"Glenn was worried about Paige. I said I would talk to her, make sure she was ok. When she came in she was so short tempered. She started to say horrible things. She called me weak. Said I didn't know her because I was never there. Then she slapped me. I... I froze her and it worked, for a few seconds. Then she started punching me, kicking me, choking me. She wouldn't stop." Piper's voice broke as she dissolved to tears.
Leo wrapped his arms around his distraught wife and held her.
"Go and get Ender from school. I'll calm Piper down and start on how we can fix this." He told them.
Prue ran her hand down Piper's cheek and kissed the top of her head.
Prue took Phoebe by the hand and they left the manor, both lost in thoughts of fear.
********
Prue walked threw the all too familiar halls of Baker High.
She had spent so much time making sure she fitted in, that she wasn't teased as the freak or the orphan. She made sure know one would ever dare.
And that was wasted time, she gained no one from that time.
Approaching one of the music room she heard the thudding of drum's.
As she peered inside the room, the bass causing her heart to thud she saw her nephew.
He was violently strumming his guitar as he stepped up to a mic.
"Never know how much you meant to me
Never knew how bad it got
You choose to ignore
My friend inflicted angst."
Prue knew she should interrupt, should get Ender and go but something compelled her to listen. The music was real, it blanked out the pain of a sister gone to the darkside.
"'You could never understand,
You could never know the pain'
Obviously, the years didn't teach you well
Thing is, I can never tell."
Her nephew's somewhat high voice was so strong with the backing of music that set it off perfectly.
"Pacing through the storm
I know I deserve this
Everyone wans to care
But silence is my saviour."
Prue leaned against the wall and held her breath, it was the only way she knew not to cry. The music surounding her changd, it was angrier, darker.
"This is what living my life does
I wish I could hate you
But this is what living my life is."
The lyrics were sung with such sincerity and pain that everything fitted in.
The crash signaling the end of the song stopped Prue before she could let her thoughts and realisation's break her down.
Opening the door she looked Ender in the eyes.
"We have to go."
Ender held his aunts gaze for a second, seeing the distress in her eyes he grabbed his bag and guitar then looked to his friends, "Later."
Following his aunt they walked threw the halls.
"What's happened?"
"It's Paige. I think she's possessed."
Ender sighed but said no more.
"We have a lot to learn about you, don't we?" Prue asked.
Ender looked over to his aunt, "You were listening?"
"I couldn't help it. Did you write that?"
Ender turned red from embaressment, "uh... yeah. Matt and Nate make it sound good though."
"The cheerful act you have, isn't as real as it seem's huh?"
Ender seemed to think about it as they went down the steps to the car.
"There's stuff... inside that you don't know about." He said truthfully.
Prue put a hand on his shoulder, "but I will." She stated.
"Yeah, I guess so." He said as he climbed in the back of the jeep.
Phoebe turned around as Prue started the car.
"Did Prue fill you in?" She asked him.
"Aunt Paige has gone evil." he said simply.
Phoebe noded sadly, "she almost killed your mom."
Ender's eyes went wide, "What?!"
"She's ok, just tread carefully back home. She's pretty upset." Phoebe warned.
Prue stared out at the deserted road, it a few hours till rush hour, everyone was too busy with their lives to be driving.
As she rounded the corner, Paige stood in the middle of the road.
Prue swerved to avoid her sister, evil or not, that was her sister. Instinct took over.
The jeep smashed directly into a wall, crashing violently.
Paige laughed before leaving the scene.
Ender groaned and put a hand to his bleeding head. Quickly coming to his senses he took his seatbelt off and looked to the front.
what he saw shook him to the bone.
His aunt Phoebe was bleeding heavily from a massive cut on her head. There was blood splatted against the windscreen where she had struck it. She didn't have a seatbelt on. He couldn't bring himself to look for a rise and fall of her chest.
Prue began to move though.
"Aunt Prue? Are you ok?"
Prue lifted her head from the steering wheel and looked around, seeing Phoebe, her little sister, unconscious and obviously in bad shape. It was like one of those 'drive safe' adverts. Opening the door she threw up everything she had eaten that day.
Climbing clumsily from the car she hobbled to the passenger side and opened Ender's door and helped him out. His leg was slashed badly.
Helping him back from the car she eased him to the ground before turning back, intent of getting to Phoebe but before she could move the Jeep exploded in flames.
