CENTENNIAL CHARMED

I might not be able to update in a while. I have final exams coming up next week. Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 3

-P3-

"Shit!" Paige swore softly as she successfully ducked into P3. There were demons everywhere, and she was sure that they were out for her. Paige was just glad that she had evaded them while she was out shopping for potion ingredients. She proceeded on with the preparation of the vanquishing potion.

"Damn! No mandrake root!"

-manor-

Phoebe picked up a picture frame and looked longingly at the picture of herself, Prue, and Piper. She tenderly touched Piper's smiling face, as she felt a tear trickle down her cheek. Phoebe brushed away the lone tear and sighed quietly.

"Piper... Prue..."

Her two older sisters. One, her protector, the other, her confidant. Both had always been there for her. Prue had loved her in an indirect way, while Piper expressed her love unconditionally. 'And I'll never see them again... It's all my fault... Why did I go to the underworld? Why did I not stop Cole in time? Why the hell did I protect him? Why? Just why?!?'

-manor, basement-

Piper's weak form hung limply. The only things supporting her were the wrist restraints. The only thing Piper feels now is pain. Torturous pain all over her body. Her broken ribs and facial bones sent vibrations of pain to her sensory receptors in her brain. She did not even want to imagine what sort of internal damage had been done. And blood... It was everywhere. All over her clothes, her body, the ground, Cole...

He stood there, observing his fine work. 'What a rush! That was exhilarating.' Cole breathed heavily, and then, he smiled.

"So Piper, how does it feel now? Think you could still kick MY ass?"

Piper remained quiet.

"I asked you a question! Now, are we going to have to start all over again?" He asked sadistically.

Despite the pain of moving her jaws, Piper mumbled something. "What?" Cole demanded as he moved in closer.

"You sick bastard..." she mumbled. Though it was barely audible, it sent Cole into a hysterical laugh.

"HAHAHAHA!!! That's funny Piper. However, you haven't seen 'sick bastard' yet!"
