A/N: Everything up to the end of the fourth season happened. Piper didn't
have Wyatt though, she had a daughter, Prucilla Prudence Wyatt. Cole was
never The Source. Two years after Prucilla was born, Phoebe and Cole had a
daughter, Pansy Colleen Turner. Now, hopefully the rest of the story will
make sense. (I can't explain, or it'll give too much away.)

Chapter 1: Halliwell Hell
****June 2, 2004****
There was a loud crying from upstairs and Phoebe Halliwell Turner rushed up the stairs of the Halliwell Manor to check on her new daughter, Pansy. Phoebe rushed into her room and peeked over the side of the bassinet. "It's okay sweetie, mommy is here." Phoebe cooed, as she picked up the tiny child and rocked her in her arms. Moments later there was a crash and a demon appeared, in a burst of flames. He wore a black, hooded cape. "Oh my God! Piper! Paige!" Phoebe screamed, as she held her daughter close. The baby continued to scream.
"Oh look, finally defenseless!" The hooded figured snarled, as a large fire ball appeared in his bony hand. The hand hand long, chipped, yellow nails and decaying greenish flesh.
Moments later there was a swirl of blue and white orbs; Paige, Piper, and Prucilla appeared. The demon hurled the fire ball at Phoebe and Pansy. "Fire ball!" Paige screamed. The fire ball disappeared in a swirl of blue and white orbs and then reappeared in Paige's hand. Paige hurled the fire ball back at the hooded figure, it hit him, but didn't do much damage.
Piper held out her hands and flicked her wrists, the hooded creature exploded, but then the pieces swirled around and reformed into the demon. "Oh God!" Piper gasped. "Leo! Leo!" Piper screamed.
"Cole!" Phoebe's voice echoed through the room.
"Leo! Cole! Get your asses down here!" Paige screamed, in horror.
The hooded figure held out his hand and sent Piper and Phoebe, who was still holding Pansy, flying at the wall. "You and your weak counter parts can't hurt me!" The hooded figure hissed.
Paige orbed out and then her orbs appeared behind Phoebe, gently gliding her over to a safe landing, so her and Pansy wouldn't get hurt. Paige reformed, just as Piper hit into the wall. "Piper!" Paige gasped.
A bloody gash had formed on Piper's forehead. Crimson red blood, dripped down her face. Piper winced in severe pain and raised her hands again, blasting the demon, and using her valuable strength. She watched as the demon again, exploded, and then reformed. Piper began to feel light headed and began to sway back and fourth.
"Piper!" Paige's voice echoed, as she orbed next to her older sister. "Leo! Cole!" Paige yelled out, again. This time Paige watched as orbs formed on one side of the room and shimmers appeared on the other side of the room. "Leo! Pi..." Paige began, but was cut off by Piper's week voice.
"Prucilla....N..o!" Piper cried out, as she raised her hands again.
Paige's head flung around to see a fire ball freeze inches from the 2-year- old's small body. "But Pi..." Paige began, but was cut off again.
"Leo...tak...e Pru..cilla to a...sa..fe pl..ace! Don't worr...y...abo...ut...me...I..love..you..and Prucilla...a lot." Piper said, weakly. Blood kept dripping from Piper's face.
"Piper! You need he..." Leo began, as he rushed towards her.
"No! Pr..ucilla! Go!....No..w!" Piper cried out.
Tears dripped from Leo's face. "I'll always love you too!" Leo whispered, as he turned to see the hooded figure hurl another fire ball at Prucilla. Leo grabbed his daughter's tiny arm and orbed out, just as the fire ball hit the previous fire ball. The fire balls smashed into the wall, making a burning scorch mark.
Phoebe gave a pleading look to Cole. "Take Pansy to a safe place, hurry! Go Cole!" Phoebe ordered, as she handed the tiny child to Cole. Phoebe quickly kissed Cole. "I'll always love you! I love you too, my darling!" Phoebe cried, as she kissed the top of her daughter's head. "Go!" Phoebe urged.
Cole looked hurt, but he knew his wife was right. "I'll love you forever, Phoebe!" Cole whispered, as he shimmered out with the child.
Phoebe turned to Paige and Piper, then to the hooded figure. "I know who you are. You don't scare me, you bastard!" Phoebe hissed, she ran into a levitating leap, and spun kicked the hooded figure into the wall. Phoebe easily levitated to the floor.
Paige orbed out and then moments later her orbs appeared and picked up the hooded figure, smashing him into the other side of the room, the orbs then vanished. Seconds passed and Paige orbed back in, next to Piper and Phoebe.
Phoebe knelt down to Piper and wiped some of the blood from her face. "Piper, be strong!" Phoebe whispered, as she embraced her older sister in a hug.
Paige knelt down and joined the hug, for she didn't know it would be their last. 'God, just let us make it through this!' Paige thought, as she stood back up.
The hooded figure stood back up too. From the growls he made, they could tell he was angry. "Damn witches!" The hooded figure roared. He flung out his arm and sent the three sisters, flying in different directions. He watched with pleasure as Piper smashed through a window, there was a loud thump, a scream, and then silence. The hooded figure grinned as Phoebe was hurled into a huge mirror, the mirror broke on impact, sending huge chunks of glass into her body. Then he turned and looked at Paige, but moments before she could hit the wall, she disappeared in a swirl of orbs. "Damnit! I hate that half breed!" The hooded figure howled. But he winced with the pain that the witches, especially the eldest, had caused him. But he was satisfied. "And the Power of Three is gone!" The demon whispered. 'Two out of three, are beyond repair. The rest should be easy prey, when I am stronger, again.' The demon thought, as he flamed out.
There was a swirl of orbs and Paige appeared, outside, next to Piper's limp and bloody body. "God no!" Paige cried, as tears flooded her vision. Paige grabbed her sister's lifeless hand. "No, you can't leave me!" Paige wept. 'Oh no, Phoebe!' Paige's mind screamed. 'Maybe...maybe she can still be saved?!' Paige mentally yelped. Paige orbed out, with Piper's lifeless body.
Paige orbed in, with Piper laying next to her, by Phoebe. Paige could see blood was covering Phoebe's clothes and dripping from her mouth. "Phoebe!" Paige whispered, as she placed her hands over her sister. "Don't!" Paige pleaded.
"P..aige....It's...my..t..ime...I am..s..ssso soo..rry....Tak..e ca..re of my...baby for..me..Prucilla...too...As well...as..Leo..and...Cole..." Phoebe coughed, as blood dripped from her mouth with each word.
"No, Pheebs, you won't die. Leo will be here! I love you, you're my sister, I need you!" Paige wept.
Phoebe's bloody hand slid across Paige's pale face. "It'll...be..okay...yo..u'll...do...fine..." Phoebe managed to say, before her eyes closed, and her chest stopped rising.
Tears streamed down Paige's face and she smashed the walls with her fists. "Why?! Why do you give me something and then take it away! I finally get a real family and then, wham, it's gone!" Paige cried, as she slipped to the ground, and sobbed. "Leo!" Paige screamed out. "Leo! Leo! Leo!" Paige cried, using all the voice she had.
There was a swirl of blue and white orbs, then Leo appeared. He saw Paige, covered in blood, then he saw Piper and Phoebe's lifeless bodies. Leo gasped and rushed to Piper. He placed his hands over Piper's body, but nothing, he tried again...still nothing. He reached for Phoebe and the same events happened again. "I..I can't heal the dead..." Leo whispered, as tears poured down his face.
"Leo...where is Prucilla?" Paige asked.
"With Cole and Pansy..." Leo whispered.
Paige grabbed Leo and buried her face into his shoulder. "Leo, they were my sisters!" Paige cried.
Leo hugged Paige tightly, she was the last living Charmed One now, and his last living sister-in-law. "Paige...I know...I miss them too..." Leo whispered, as tears trickled down his face.
"How the hell could this have happened?!" Paige screamed, as her sister's blood mixed with her tears. Making her long, dark brown hair, stick to her face.
"I..I don't know..." Leo whispered, as he hugged Paige.
The two sat there, in utter silence....
****June 2, 2005****
Paige sat in her room, as she remembered the events of that fateful day, when she lost her only living sisters. Her pale face was visibly tear stained and she sighed and wiped new tears away. "I miss you...Piper and Pheebs." Paige whispered, as she stared at the ceiling. "Prucilla and Pansy are doing great though. They miss you too though...Especially Prucilla. I hope you guys are happy, I guess you get to see Mom, Grams, and Prue again." Paige whispered, as she continued to look at the ceiling. Suddenly Paige heard the doorbell. "What..." Paige's voice trailed off.
"Auntie Paige! Somebody at da door!" A 3-year-old voice called from downstairs.
"Okay sweetie, Auntie Paige will be down in a sec!" Paige called back, to her niece. Paige sighed and disappeared in a swirl of blue and white orbs.
There was another swirl of blue and white orbs, as Paige appeared in front of the doors to the Halliwell Manor. Paige quickly wiped her eyes one more time, with her sleeve, and opened the door. She had been expecting to see Darrel or someone. But instead she saw a young girl, who looked between 16 and 19. Her long, wavy, raven black hair draped over her shoulders and her deep blue eyes glowed with curiosity. "May I help you?" Paige asked.
"Yeah...Hi...I was wondering if...by any chance...Prudence Halliwell lives here?" The girl asked, nervously.
Paige shivered. Prudence, Prue for short, had been her older sister that she never knew. She had found Piper and Phoebe after Prue died. "No...I'm sorry, Prue died five years ago..." Paige whispered.
The girl's face fell. "Well..what about a Piper Halliwell or Phoebe Halliwell?" The girl asked, a sliver of hope was left in her voice. "They are alive right? I mean, those were Prudence's only two sisters who should be alive, right?" The girl asked.
Paige could feel tears filling her eyes. 'They should be alive. Yes, they should be, but they aren't!' Paige mentally screamed, to herself. "I'm so sorry...Piper and Phoebe died, exactly one year ago, today." Paige said, sadness filled her voice.
The girl looked as if she were about to burst into tears. "Oh...I'm sorry for disturbing you...I better go..." The girl said quickly, as she turned to leave.
"Wait!" Paige called out. "Prue had three sisters! I'm Paige Halliwell, her third sister!" Paige called. "Do you think that...maybe I could help?" Paige asked, in a hopeful tone.
The girl spun around, her face was lit up. "You're one of Prudence's sisters?! Another one?! Yes...umm...I have a few questions..." The girl said.
"Well, sure, come in..." Paige said, as she stepped back so the girl could come in.
The girl walked in and looked around the house. She breathed in a breath of the Manor air and sighed. "Thank you..." The girl said, as she watched Paige close the door.
"You're welcome...Would you like to sit on the couch?" Paige asked. "Anything to drink?" Paige questioned.
The girl shook her head. "No thank you, nothing to drink...But sitting may be a good idea." The girl said.
Paige nodded and lead her to the couch. "So, who are you and why do you need my help?" Paige asked.
The girl took a deep breath and then looked Paige straight in the eyes. "My name is Paula. Paula Bell. I'm Prudence Halliwell's....daughter...." The girl stated, in a matter-of-factly tone. TO BE CONTINUED....
