CENTENNIAL CHARMED

Note: Next chapter. There's not as much action in this chapter, but it's a necessary component. Piper NEEDS medical help, and so, yeah, I decided to be nice and let her have it.

Chapter 10

-hospital-

Paige orbed a dazed Phoebe and an unconscious Piper outside the hospital.

"Okay Phoebe, I need help moving Piper," Paige said.

"Uhh..." Phoebe groaned in response, trying to maintain her focus.

Together, they supported Piper into the waiting room.

-manor-

"I'm sorry sir. I promise this will never happen again," the demon from the herb shop said fearfully.

"Apology not accepted," Cole said icily before vanquishing him with an energy ball.

"This goes for all of you!" He warned. "Fail me, and you'll face the same consequence as that pathetic fool. Go! Find the sisters. However, lay a finger on Phoebe and you'll answer to me. Clear?"

-hospital-

Phoebe waited impatiently for any news on Piper. Her throbbing headache did nothing but add to her misery. Paige had gone back to the club to finish up the vanquish potion. 'It was all her fault! Why did she help Cole so many times? Why did she betray her sisters so many times for him? Her sisters were the ones who had been there for her ever since the beginning...' Phoebe did not know just what she was going to do if Piper doesn't pull through.

-P3-

Paige held out the piece of Belthazor flesh and stepped back. This brought back the wonderful memories of when she and Piper made that potion to vanquish Belthazor in the real reality, and how Piper laughed at her when the explosion knocked her off her feet. The time when she flunked Piper's potion quiz. Or the time when Piper almost strangled her as a Fury. The time when she first met Piper at the funeral. The time when Piper got drunk because Phoebe became the Queen of all Evil...

"You're going to be alright, Piper. I'll make sure of it..."

BOOM! The mushroom cloud appeared after Paige threw the piece of flesh in. Suddenly, she had an uneasy feeling.

'Piper...'

She then wordlessly transferred the potion into several glass vials and orbed to the hospital.
