CENTENNIAL CHARMED
Thanks countertiger-x for pointing out that fact about anonymous reviews. I appreciate it. I also greatly appreciate everyone's encouraging reviews. (However, I may not be able to update so often during the week, for the new semester is a real handful...)
Chapter 8
-basement, manor-
"Shit, shit shit! That bitch!" Cole cursed loudly, increasing the intensity and frequency of each whipping. "Your sister... ruins everything! You'll pay for her mistakes!" Cole screamed, as he whipped Piper with all his might.
Piper felt as if her skin was on fire. Each lashing brought immense pain and all Piper could see is red. Pain. Too much for her to handle. Her skin ripped easily under the shearing fore of the ship, causing blood to spill out, as more lacerations joined her already torn and broken body. Piper wished that she could die now. Then, all the pain would stop, and she would be with Prue, mom, grams... 'Please... someone... make the pain stop...' Her body begin to succumb to unconsciousness, as the doors to death drew nearer, a calmness, soothed her. Like gentle hands caressing her, making the pain disappear. 'Phoebe...' The comforting warmth disappeared, and the pain returned with full force. It was like something out of a science fiction movie, all the particles and surround environment zoomed forward at a supersonic speed, while Piper felt a strong force pulling her away from the bright light. Pulling her back into a world full of suffering and misery. But there's Phoebe... she'll make it all better.
"Cole, stop it!" Phoebe yelled in anger when she saw the state her oldest sister is in. Phoebe felt her sympathetic nervous system take over, as adrenalin was secreted by the adrenal medulla. Her heart rate, breathing rate, and blood glucose all went soaring up. Nothing else mattered at this time except to rescue Piper. Without thinking, Phoebe levitated and kicked Cole as hard as she possibly could.
Cole smashed into the wall, but quickly recovered. By then, Paige had already made it to Piper, and was beginning to untie her injured sister. Cole conjured up an energy ball to launch at Paige, only to have Phoebe suddenly step in and tackle him. The attack went wild, breaking one of the support beams.
The two of them struggled and Cole roughly shoved Phoebe off.
"Phoebe! Grab her hand!" Paige called out at Phoebe, as Cole powered up for another energy ball. Phoebe managed to grab Piper's hand, causing a bluish-white light to surround them. The energy ball smashed into the protective barrier a split second later, rebounding off and hurtling towards Cole. He quickly shimmered out of the energy ball's destructive path. CRASH! A hole was made into the wall.
The blue lights around the Charmed Ones disappeared. Paige felt her powers flow through her veins once again.
"Okay, now's our cue to leave," Paige said, while grabbing Piper and reaching out to take Phoebe's hand. The familiar blue lights appeared once again, and the three sisters orbed out to safety.
