Chapter Two A/N: At the same time as Chapter One.
Prue and Paige were winning. These demons had no idea who they were dealing with. They had finished vanquishing the last ones and were about to leave when a demon (as we see, the same demon that murdered Pheobe) shimmered in, athame in hand. He flung the athame at Prue… but at the last second Paige orbed in in front of Prue, getting hit herself.
"Paige!" Prue yelled. Prue removed the athame in Paige's gut and sent it flying back at the demon, who flamed, and was vanquished. "Paige, you could have healed me if I got hit, why did you do that?" Prue asked, now crying.
"I… I don't know, I was just scared."
"Um okay" Prue paused, thinking, "do you know the power switching spell?"
"No… I" but she couldn't finish her sentence.
Prue's face showed no emotion; nothing. She just got up, and, using her telekinesis, gently carried Paige over to the car, opened the door, and placed her in the back seat. She got in the car, and drove home.

Piper and Pam had put Pheobe in the car, and Piper was driving back to the manor. "Pam, Peter is home watching Melinda and Katrina, right?" she asked, desperately trying to get her mind off of Pheobe.
"Yeah, and Patti and Penny are out with friends seeing a movie. Do you know about Prue and Paige?"
"As far as I know, they went off to a nest of low-level demons. Hopefully they had a better night than we did," Piper broke down again.
"Piper, sweetie I know it hurts, but we have to be strong… for the children."
Piper forced a laugh. "You and Prue are so much alike…"
"Is that a bad thing, Pepper?" Pam laughed slightly, but genuinely.
"Of course not," replied Piper.
End Chapter Two
A/N: Sorry the chapters are so short, but it's kind of like I don't want to tell so much in one chapter.
