Julius with with a group of other Elders when he sensed that Angelie was in trouble. By the time he got there, it was too late. Phoebe, Piper, and Paige were unmoving on the floor, and Leo was nearly dead. Julius healed the Whitelighter first. It took a long time, but finally Leo came around. Then, he rested as Julius used his healing power to combat Cole's power of paralization.
Piper, Phoebe, and Paige got up, with some difficulty, and looked over at the empty crib. "We have to get her back." Piper said, choking back tears. She'd only known her neice a few hours, but she loved her. They all did.
"We will." Leo said.
"How?" Paige demanded.
Leo sighed, and looked at Julius. It was then that Piper, Phoebe, and Paige noticed the Elder.
"You're Julius, aren't you? Prue's friend?" Phoebe guessed.
"Yes," Julius answered. "I'm Prue's friend. Yours, too, if you'll have me."
"Can you help us get Angelie back?" Paige asked, her tone desperate.
"Maybe." the Elder said, an idea forming in his head. "Do you know of any place he's especially attatched to? Somewhere he might take her?"
"Two places, actually." Phoebe said. "He wouldn't have taken her to the Underworld. It's too dangerous for him to be there, since he's not the Source anymore, and there are other demons who want his powers. So he would've stayed here, probably he took her someplace where he felt safe." she mused, seeing where Julius was going with this. "Ok, we need to split up. Leo, Piper, you go check out his apartment. Paige and I will go to the mausoleum."
"No way, we can't split up now." Paige protested.
"She's right, we need to stay together in case he comes after us." Piper agreed.
"Well, do either of you have a better plan?" Phoebe asked. Paige and Piper nervously bit their lips, looking down at the floor.
"I do." Julius spoke up. The sisters looked at him hopefully. "We give him what he wants."
"He has what he wants." Piper said miserably. "Our neice."
Julius shook his head. "No, no, what he wants is power. And who's more powerful than one of the Elders themselves?"
Paige exchanged glances with each of her sisters. They all wanted Angelie back, but there had to be another way. "You can't sacrifice yourself." Paige said. "You're and Elder, you're needed Up There."
Julius smiled reassuringly. "Oh, don't worry about me. I'll just be the bait. As soon as you've got the baby safe, I'll orb out."
"Paige is right, Julius, it's much too risky." Piper said.
"It's also the only way we're going to get that little girl back." Julius asserted. "We're running out of time. Do you want to save Angelie or not?"
Piper nodded weakly, surprised at the Elder's sudden authoritarian tone. "So what do we do?"
Julius stepped in closer to the girls. "The plan," he said, "is very simple. First we go to the apartment, because that's where he's been working from lately. I offer him a trade, the baby for me. One of you will take Angelie, I'll orb out, and you three will vanquish Cole once and for all."
"That's not possible." Paige said. "Cole can't be vanquished. We've been trying for months, and I'm telling you, it can't be done."
"It can't be done by you." the Elder corrected. "There is, however, someone more powerful."
"Angelie?" Phoebe questioned. "Is she even a witch, I mean, technically didn't Prue's powers die with her?"
"Powers don't die, Phoebe." Julius told her. "Prue can't use them anymore, but they're as much a part of her genetic code as, say, black hair and blue eyes. Those things all could have been passed on to Angelie, and probably were."
"I still don't get how this is going to work." Paige sighed. "Angelie literally was born yesterday. How is she going to say the vanquishing spell?"
"She's not." Piper said. "We are."
"But-" Paige started to protest, still not understanding. She opened her mouth to say more, but thought better of it. Angelie need them now, they couldn't waste time standing around there debating. Paige shut her mouth, deciding to just folow along with her sisters and hope that they knew what they were doing.
"We'll need a vanquishing spell." Leo pointed out.
"I've already got one." Phoebe said. "I wrote it when Cole first contacted me, after we vanquished him as the Source."
"Right, then. Are we ready?" Julius asked.
Nobody answered. Silently, they formed a circle, joined hands, and disappeared in a swirl of light.
Piper, Phoebe, and Paige got up, with some difficulty, and looked over at the empty crib. "We have to get her back." Piper said, choking back tears. She'd only known her neice a few hours, but she loved her. They all did.
"We will." Leo said.
"How?" Paige demanded.
Leo sighed, and looked at Julius. It was then that Piper, Phoebe, and Paige noticed the Elder.
"You're Julius, aren't you? Prue's friend?" Phoebe guessed.
"Yes," Julius answered. "I'm Prue's friend. Yours, too, if you'll have me."
