CORRUPTED

Note: I personally think that all the sisters are unique in their own way, and I admire each one for their own special talents and character. It's pretty obvious who my favourite is though! Haha.

Wanabepiper, hey, was camp good? I want to go camping! I'm cooped up in the house all day with nothing to do. thanks for reviewing!

Piper13, a great big thanks to you too, for always supporting me. I'm not sure if Piper's going to turn good. I haven't thought that far yet. I sort of just write away.

Piperperson, man, you are just great yourself! Thanks for the support.

Charmedfanatic12, thank you so much for your kind comments.

Chapter 17

-Source's Chamber, Underworld-

Piper flung an energy ball at the cavern walls, cursing under her breath. 'Her sister refused her offer! How could she? She promised that we would always be together.' Piper thought angrily, feeling the pain of rejection. 'This is what you get for being weak. she's not worth all the pain, Piper,' the evil thought in her head argued. Nevertheless, Piper feels as if something was holding her back. She is unsure of her capability to hurt her sister, let alone kill her.

'You MUST kill her.'

'No, I don't have to do anything.'

"ARG!" Piper cried in outrage, blowing up another segment of the wall. 'Why the hell must it be MY sister standing in my way of victory?!' Steadying herself, Piper began to pace around in her chamber. 'All those who betray me. must die.'

-Manor-

Phoebe was lost. Just when she thought things couldn't get any worse, they did. With Paige's death, comes the end of the Charmed Ones. Not that it was Phoebe's main concern. She viewed Paige as a sister before a witch. and now, Piper's not only evil, but she is also the Source of all evil. 'Great,' Phoebe thought gloomily, 'the fate of the world rests in my hands. kill my only sister, or kill the world. Some choice.'

Being all alone doesn't help either.

-Underworld-

Piper vanquished the last of the rebellious demonic leaders. "This is the fate of the traitors." She warned the underworld. "Let that be a warning. I won't be so nice as to kill so quickly."

It is not likely for treacherous activities to occur anyways. After witnessing Piper brutally torturing the rebellious demons and killing them off in an excruciating manner, no one was willing to test the boundaries of their newest and most powerful Source.

"Now that I've disposed of the useless creatures, we will proceed onto our next phase. We have the power to rule above the ground, why do we stay in the underworld? We have nothing to fear from. Nothing to hide from. Humans don't stand a chance against us. They're easily corrupted, and they're easily killed. Witches, and other magical creatures however, should not be accounted for so lightly. If we want to rule, we must cooperate first, by combining our strengths to eliminate them. We take them down first, then we go after the Elders."

"What about the remaining Charmed One?"

"Leave her to me."

-Manor-

Phoebe gasped as blue lights appeared in front of her. 'I thought that Leo and Paige were dead?' The sight that bestowed her surprised the already stunned Phoebe.

"Prue?" Phoebe asked incredulously.

"The one and only."

"You're a whitelighter?"

"What does it look like Pheebs?" Prue replied with a smile.

"Oh my goodness, Prue!" Phoebe shrieked happily before tackling Prue in a massive hug.

"I've missed you too, Phoebe," Prue whispered in her baby sister's ears, tears running down her face.

After registering the shock, Phoebe sobered up. "Alright, Prue, what's up? The Elders are never this generous without some sort of a reason."

"You're right, Phoebe. Something big is up. I'm not allowed to reveal too much."

Phoebe raised her eyebrows at Prue. "You were never ones to give into THEIR rules so quickly."

"Ha. You're right. But this is important Phoebe," Prue said solemnly. "You need help. The Underworld is too close to overtaking the world. The Elders are relying on you to prevent that from happening."

"Whoa. Back up. You're saying that the world depends on me."

"Pretty much. So don't screw up."

"Prue, this isn't funny. I am a one person army against the entire demonic population that happens to be lead by my very own sister! I'm sorry Prue, I can't take on such a burden."

"You have to Pheebs. You've got no choice. But try to get through to Piper first. She's still good inside. She was the best out of all of us," Prue said sadly, remembering the happy past the three of them shared. "She was always stuck in the middle. but she's got such a big heart for everyone. Piper's always so compassionate and understanding. she's still good inside, Phoebe. The evil powers may be too intense for her to handle right now, but she can fight it. She's already spared you countless times. I believe in her, Phoebe. Do you?"

Phoebe took a deep breath. "Of course I do Prue, I'm just hurt right now. She lied to me! Killed the rest of. the rest of the family."

"I understand your pain, Phoebe. I felt it too, even though I was up there. They were my family too. And Piper's. It's not her, Phoebe, but the evil powers inside of her. The evil powers she can't control."

"Since when were you so full of sentimental crap, Prue?" Phoebe asked, sniffling loudly.

Prue smiled warmly. "Ever since they pacified me for two years up there. I'm kidding, Pheebs. My death made me realize how precious life is. I couldn't spend anymore time with my family, and it hurt me more than you can even imagine. None of us can stay together forever. I wanted to just spend my last moments with both my sisters. but unfortunately, I never got the chance to. I don't want you to feel lonely Phoebe. Piper's all you have left. I don't want you to lose her."

"I don't either. But she's too powerful for me to take on alone."

"You're never alone, Phoebe. We are always with you."

"Thanks, Prue."

"I'll protect you, Phoebe. Don't worry. Now, let's go get our sister back."
