Chapter 7:

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the charmed characters. this chapter is almost the same as the episode on TV.

A/N: IT IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS, OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY CONFUSED IN THE NEXT CHAPTERS!! Also, it isn't exactly the same as the episode, so you will be bored out of your minds.

A/N 2: Everyone who reviewed: Thank you soo much, now, go r/r my other story (Finding Paige) (

-x-

Prue, Piper and Phoebe brought the innocent doctor that they (for the time being) saved, back to the house.

"I'll look in the book!" Phoebe yelled as she ran up to the attic. "You guys can explain to the doctor what is going on." As soon as Phoebe got upstairs, out of sight, Shax breaks in through the front doors.

"PHOEBE!!" Prue shouted.

"I'm almost done!" Phoebe called back. Shax attacks the doctor, but Prue pushes him out of the way, taking the blow herself. She flies through a wall and falls unconscious on the floor. As Piper begins to fight, Shax throws her against and through the wall also. Phoebe ran downstairs and recites the spell she found, right before Shax could kill the doctor. Shax blows up, but doesn't look quite like he was vanquished.

"LEO! Phoebe called, "LEO! At that second, Leo orbed in and healed Prue and Piper, who were close to death, lying on the floor, bleeding.

"I don't think I killed Shax, I probably just injured him. "Phoebe said as Piper and Prue came back to life.

"It's probably a power of three spell, at least, to kill him, you probably need three." Prue said. Prue and Piper walk outside with the spell to vanquish Shax for good, while Phoebe stays with the doctor at the house.

Piper and Prue get about a block away before Shax attacks again. Before they can use the spell, Piper explodes him to defend herself and Prue, and Shax disappears.

"Again, I don't think it killed him," Prue says. What they don't see, is that a newscaster saw Piper blow up Shax.

(Back at the house),

".So you can't tell anyone, okay?" Phoebe asked. The doctor agreed, happily.

"And thank you for saving my life." He adds. After he left, Prue asked Leo to make sure that they really vanquished Shax, because she didn't think they did. Phoebe, who has also been researching how to save Cole and reverse what evil spell Raynor cast on him, asks for her sisters' help in sending her down to the underworld using a modified "magic to magic" spell so that she can find Cole.

"I made a spell, I should be able do save him." She explains. Piper and Prue are reluctant, but do so.

-x-

(In the underworld, Phoebe faces Cole. He threatens her, but she uses the potion and they embrace and kiss. She tries to convince him to come back home with her, but he fears that they won't be able to make it work up there.)

Back at home, Prue and Piper are all over the news. Reporters, wanna-be witches, and crazy people are all over their front lawn. The doorbell rang, but it was only Darryl trying to help control the backlash.

"You didn't actually vanquish Shax," Leo explained, "And you need to sneak out of the house, drive to the hospital, find the innocent doctor, and bring him back."

Prue grabbed the doctor and brought him out to their car to keep him safe. Shax attacks again, but this time, they successfully vanquish him, and he blows up. Just their luck, the reporters saw that too. Prue and Piper head back home and try to figure out what to do.

"The powers that be are really pissed, and the only idea they have is to beg the demon Tempus to turn back time." Leo says.

-x-

One of the wanna-be witches busts in and asks to join their coven. Seeing as Prue is impatient, she uses her power and throws the girl out the back door.

"Leo, go down to the underworld, find Phoebe and Cole, and ask Cole to use his demon connections to get Tempus to turn back time." Prue told Leo.

-x-

"Phoebe, you need to go home, because something big is going down and the Source just arrived." Cole said. Leo orbed in and told Cole what they need.

"I don't have the power to find Tempus." Cole explains.

"The Source does, and if you pitch the idea to the Source as your 'to protect the demon world from the exposure it has gotten as well', the Source might do it." Leo argued.

"Fine. I'll go to the Source," Cole says, as he shimmers out.

-x-

When Cole shimmered in, the Source said that he knew what was in Cole's heart and said he'll get Tempus to do it if Phoebe agrees to stay in the underworld.

"Phoebe would never agree to that." Cole said.

"Phoebe will agree to save one of her sisters' lives." The Source replied.

At the manor, the wanna-be witch is upset that she was rejected by Prue and Piper. As revenge, she climbs on top of her van and shoots into the house. The bullet goes right into Piper's gut. Prue freaks out as she takes a heavily bleeding Piper out to the car. She put Piper in the back seat and uses her power to throw a bunch of people out of the way, so she can drive to the hospital.

(Skipping a bunch of gory details, Piper dies in the hospital, and Prue starts crying)

(In the underworld, Cole comes back to Phoebe and Leo and tells them what the Source said. Leo orbs back up to see if the Source was telling the truth and finds Prue barricaded in a hospital room with Piper's body. Leo orbs back down, and Phoebe can immediately see from his face that Piper is dead. Phoebe agrees to the Source's demands. Since time won't go back in the underworld, only in the real world, Phoebe asks Cole to go and warn Prue and Piper as soon as the deed is done. Cole goes to the Source and says it's a deal. The Source dismisses Cole and tells one of his many minions to hold Cole and kill Phoebe as soon as time goes back. Time goes back.)

Piper and Prue start to explain to the doctor what is going on, but then Prue feels a chill. Shax busts in the front doors

"PHOEBE!!" Prue called, but Phoebe doesn't answer Shax attacks the doctor, but Prue pushes him out of the way, taking the blow herself. She flies through a wall and falls unconscious on the floor. As Piper begins to fight, Shax throws her against and through the wall also. Shax then turns on the doctor and blows him through a window. Shax looks around at the wreckage with pleasure and then blows back out through the front doors of the house, shattering the windows in the doors as he slams them behind him. Prue and Piper are left lying in pools of their own blood.
