Charmed At Last
Chapter 8: So Close, Yet So Far
There was a purple flash of light, then Prue and Paige appeared in a very dark cave. There was a thick, almost sickening, smell of mold and wetness.
Paige's hand quickly flew to her face, covering her mouth and nose. "Oh God, I think I'm gonna be sick!" Paige whimpered. Paige took her hand away from her mouth and held her head away from herself, then vomited into the darkness. "That smell is so sickening!" Paige whispered.
Prue reached through the darkness and felt for Paige, finally grabbing her arm. "It's okay Paige. I'm here..." Prue said, in a comforting tone. Prue held out her hand, ready to send random telekinetic blasts into the darkness, if needed. "Paige? Are you okay now?" Prue asked, in a worried, motherly tone.
Paige smiled to herself. The compassion her eldest sister, who she barely knew, already had for her was such a comfort. She had been accepted by Prue, immediately. Paige coughed a few more times and then stood up, taking Prue's hand. "Yeah, I think so." Paige replied. Her eyes were beginning to slightly adjust to the darkness.
"That's good." Prue whispered, then she squeezed her youngest sister's hand. "Paige, do you think that you might have a lighter or match?" Prue asked. Her eyes were too, just beginning to adjust to the pitch black cave.
Paige thought for a moment. "Umm, I think so. Let's see, I had one in my purse." Paige reached for her purse with her free hand and then rolled her eyes. "Never mind. Lighter!" Paige commanded, as she held out her free hand. Seconds later, a glow of blue and white orbs filled a small spot in the darkness, then there was a small clicking sound. Then a little flame appeared and Paige held the flame outward. Shadows danced upon the walls of the cave, but it appeared empty. "Nobody is here. How come the spell didn't work?" Paige asked out loud.
"I'm not...." Prue's voice was suddenly cut off when a puff of smoke appeared in front of her. "You!" Prue hissed. Prue's free hand flew out in front of her and without warning, Marcus went crashing into the cave wall. "How dare you!" Prue yelled. The flame from the lighter was reflecting in her bright blue eyes and she seemed to have so much power, at that very moment.
Paige stared in complete and total awe. "Marcus!" Paige yelled. Glowing blue and white orbs surrounded Marcus and for a moment, the cave was full of glowing light, then Marcus and the orbs disappeared. Seconds later the orbs appeared again and then they were gone, leaving Marcus to crash into the wall, yet again. "I want you to take the spell off our sister! Maybe you death won't be...as painful!" Paige threatened.
Marcus stood up and glared at the two Halliwell sisters. A glowing red- orange fire ball appeared in his hands and he hurled it straight at Paige. "Nobody messes with my business! Your sister is mine now, and you'll never have her back!" Marcus said, in a sinister tone.
The fire ball reflected in Paige's eyes and she instantly disappeared in a swirl of blue and white orbs, the fire ball smashed into the cave wall behind where she had just been, causing rocks to tumble down to the floor. Moments later Paige orbed back in, next to Prue.
"Is that all you can do? Pathetic light tricks?" Marcus asked with a smirk. Marcus let out a long, mocking laugh. "Ha, I thought a Charmed One would be more powerful, but then again, you are only a half breed anyway." Marcus said.
Paige's hand curled into a fist and she held it up. "A half breed and light tricks?! I'll show you damn light tricks!" Paige yelled in fury. A glowing ball of white light appeared in each of her hands.
"Paige, no! We need to reverse whatever he did to Piper first!" Prue warned. But Prue had been a few seconds too late. The light balls were already on their way towards Marcus. Prue squinted her eyes and slightly set them off course, so each light ball hit the cave wall, centimeters from Marcus' head. The parts of the cave wall exploded into sharp chunks of rock and came pouring down on Marcus. Prue smiled.
"And don't you ever call another one of my family a half breed, ever again! Of course, you probably won't live that long anyway." Paige threatened. Another glowing light ball quickly appeared in her hand and then disappeared again.
"Now, we want you to take whatever half ass spell you put on our sister, off our sister." Prue said. Prue held up her hand and then telekinetically lifted Marcus into the air, choking him with her power.
Marcus began to cough and his eyes became wide. "F..fine...Just take me back to your house...I'll....re...move the..spell there.." Marcus whispered, as he struggled to breath.
Prue eyed Paige. 'This has to be too easy...In all my years working with demons, there is always a catch...' Prue thought. Prue's gaze drifted back to Marcus.
Paige understood Prue's look. 'Definitely too easy.' Paige thought, as she looked at Marcus. "Good choice." Paige said, in a cautious tone. Paige reached out and took Prue's free hand.
Prue telekinetically pulled Marcus to her and grabbed him roughly by the arm. "All ready." Prue said, as she held Paige's hand.
Paige nodded and then took once last glance at the demon in Prue's grasp. The flame on the lighter in Paige hands, faded away. "Lighter." Paige whispered. In a swirl of blue and white orbs, Paige felt the lighter leave her palm. Then she closed her eyes and the cave was illuminated with the glow of Paige's orbs as Paige, Prue, and Marcus disappeared.
Phoebe sat with her legs crossed, floating in mid air, as she saw the glow of swirling blue and white orbs appear. Finally Prue, Paige, and Marcus materialized. "Finally, I thought you'd gotten lost somewhere in the pits of hell." Phoebe said, as she uncrossed her legs and floated to the ground.
"Nah, we just had to wait on a demon." Prue said. Prue held out her hand and telekinetically floated Marcus over to Piper's sleeping form, who was now on the sofa. "Hurry and fix my sister!" Prue ordered.
Marcus knelt down next to Piper and started to place his hand over her head when there was a loud noise from the front doors. Marcus' hear whirled around to see if he could see the source of the noise.
"I'm home! Paige darling, where are you?" Glenn's voice called from the hallway. Glenn walked down the hallway and into the doorway of the living room. Glenn's eyes scanned the room and instantly found Paige. "He love, miss me?" Glenn asked, his eyes were bright and happy.
Prue's concentration on Marcus escaped her for a moment as she turned to Glenn. "Glenn, we are sort of in the middle of a..." Prue's voice trailed off as she saw a puff of smoke form behind Glenn, followed by Marcus' body. "Glenn, behind you!" Prue gasped. But it was too late.
A puff of smoke appeared in Marcus' hand, followed by a silver dagger, which her held to Glenn's throat. "Nobody move or the mortal gets it!" Marcus warned, as she brought the dagger closer and closer to Glenn's throat.
Paige held out her arms. "Gl...." Paige began to yell, but before she could finish, Glenn and Marcus were gone in a puff of smoke! TO BE CONTINUED....
