CENTENNIAL CHARMED
Chapter 12

"Sir, we found the sisters," a demon reported, "They're in the hospital."
"Excellent."
The demons waited expectantly for any other reaction, but there was none.
"Aren't you going to send demons to capture them?" The Seer asked.
"Nope. That'll be way too easy. She's too vulnerable right now, which means that she can't put up a fight. Where's the fun in that huh?"
"Cole! Your arrogance will be your undoing," the Seer warned.
"Oh relax, Seer. I'm more powerful than you can ever imagine."
"Cole..."
"Save it," he snapped in a cold voice as he went back to his game of pool.
-hospital-
Paige and Phoebe turned their attention to their weak and vulnerable sister. Several wires ran from her head to an EEG that is recording down the barely visible wavy lines of Piper's brain activity pattern. Electrodes on her chest detected the weak flutter of her heart beak on the EKG. An oxygen mask was placed over her face to aid in breathing, while the pulse oximeter on her finger measured the low levels of oxygen in her blood. Nevertheless, her breathing was raspy and uneven. Intravenous fluids ran various medications into her fragile body. Nearby, a blood transfusion tube inserted blood into Piper's body at the wrist heavily bandaged wrist. Clean, white, gauze bandages along with casting tenderly wrapped her broken body. Evidence of the severity of her injuries showed, as some of the white bandages became redder and redder with each passing minute. Her face was contorted into one of pain and uneasiness.
"I am going to kill that bastard," Phoebe whispered angrily as she gently took Piper's hand.
"I'm with you sis, but we need a plan," Paige said rationally.
Phoebe, who is on the edge of breaking, snapped. 'How could Paige just say that? She's already lost a sister... and god know if she'll lose another one...' "You expect me to just sit around and watch my sister die?!?"
Paige, quite taken aback, replied "No! I'm not saying we do nothing about it. I'm just saying we come up with some sort of plan before you go barging in a house full of demons. That's just plain suicidal."
"Why the hell would you care?!? You haven't known Piper like I have! You BARELY even know her. Of course you wouldn't care about whether she dies or not!" Phoebe screamed, letting loose all her anger and frustration. She loved Piper more than life itself. Piper was always there whenever you needed her. Yet, Phoebe had let her down...
"Now, that's not fair! I care for her just as much as you do, and if not, maybe even more! I don't go running off with demonic boyfriends and ditching my sisters! Maybe YOU should as YOURSELF whether YOU care for Piper or not!" Paige yelled back, feeling extremely upset that Phoebe dared accuse her this way.
"Is it not? You're only her HALF sister. HALF. I've known her for my entire life! And you, you just popped out of nowhere and expect us to accept you? God, you are pathetic. I say you get your pathetic HALF sister ass out of our life!"
Enraged, Paige orbed out, not caring whether anyone sees her or not.
Phoebe sobbed uncontrollably on Piper's stomach.
Piper fell into an even more uneasy slumber.
