Charmed At Last
Chapter 14: A Witch Apart
Cole shimmered in, in front of Paige. "Why, hello Paige? How are you feeling? A little sick, I would hope?" Cole asked, as he created an energy ball. He sent the energy ball hurling at Paige.
Paige glared and then a white ball of glowing light appeared in her hand. She threw the ball of light at the energy ball, hitting the target perfectly, and then the energy ball exploded.
"Aww. Baby protecting mother. How utterly...annoying!" Cole hissed. He created 2 more energy balls and hurled one at Paige.
"Energy balls!" Paige cried out. Moments later the energy balls disappeared in a swirl of blue and white orbs.
'Not so fast!' Cole thought, as he created 2 new energy balls. As he watched the energy balls orb into Paige's hands, her threw the last two at her. Hitting her square in the stomach.
Paige fell backwards, hitting the floor, and then sliding into the wall. An electric burn was on her stomach and her shirt had a black mark on it.
"You bastard!" Prue hissed, as she flung out her arm.
But Cole was quicker, before Prue's telekinetic blast could reach him, he shimmered out. Moments later shimmering in by Paige and grabbed her neck. Then he shimmered out with her.
"Paige!" Piper screamed.
Phoebe couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her boyfriend who had changed so much, was now trying to kill her baby sister. 'My God, what has happened to him?' Phoebe thought. Then she remembered the Book of Shadows. Her eyes instantly went to the page. "Prue, Piper! It says the demon that attacked had the power to create balls of shadows that turn you evil, when you are hit with one! The ball was meant for me, but I levitated above it, and it hit Cole! That must be why, I knew he wasn't really evil!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"But that doesn't help us! Phoebe, we need to find Paige. No matter if he is evil or not, evil is in him now. No telling what he might do to Paige...or the baby!" Prue said.
"Phoebe, Prue's right. We have to find Paige first. It isn't just her life that is at risk right now." Piper said, in a reasoning tone.
Phoebe sighed. "Then how do we find her? He most likely took her to the Underworld where we can't scry or sense her." Phoebe said.
"I can find her!" Monica spoke up.
"How?" Prue asked.
"My power, as long as I'm 'close' to the person I'm trying to find, I can use a rainbow beam to locate them. It lets us follow the rainbow right to her! As long as Leina can orb us to the Underworld." Monica stated.
Piper turned to Leina. "Can you? Please, we need to get our sister back!" Piper pleaded.
Leina nodded. "I can orb you. Here, make a circle." Leina held out her hands.
The other 4 women gathered around Leina and made a circle and then vanished in a flurry of orbs.
Paige opened her eyes to a rather dark room. 'Where am I?' Paige thought, as she tried to move her arms. But she seemed paralyzed in her place. 'I'll orb then.' Paige thought. She closed her eyes and tried to orb, but nothing worked. A beam of light shot into her face and made her wince, when she re- opened her eyes, she could see Cole and another man or probably demon, standing next to him.
"Oh, Paige, are you alright? You seem so....in pain." Cole snickered.
"You bastard. Cole!" Paige hissed. She was trying to telekinetically orb him, but it didn't work, like her other powers.
"Oh, you see, your power won't work. Nor will your child's powers. Look around you, that force field keeps all good 'witchly' or otherwise magic out. Evil magic of course, is always welcomed. Meaning all demonic powers and magic." Cole explained.
"So not even your little friends can help you out!" Chimed in the other demon. "Thanks to my little spell." He bragged.
"What the hell is that?!" Cole roared, as a rainbow of light appeared in the cave and ended at Paige.
'Wait, didn't that girl hurt Cole with a rainbow ray? I bet it's her and my sisters!' Paige thought. "You're downfall!" Paige retorted.
Cole hurled an energy ball at her, the energy ball flew through the force field, and hit Paige's stomach. This caused a bloody gash.
"No!" Paige screamed, out of fear for her unborn child. Blood dripped from her stomach at an alarming rate.
"Paige!" Piper's voice echoed, as she called from the entrance of the cave. Piper saw Paige's bloody stomach and her face became pale. She dashed towards the force field, but as she came close, she was sent back by a pulse of electricity.
Prue closed her eyes and then her body went limp.
There was a red flare and then Astral Prue appeared but was quickly sent flying back by the force field. Astral Prue faded away.
Prue awoke and stepped back. She squinted her eyes and sent a powerful telekinetic blast at the force field, it only bounced back, and hit the cave wall. Making a large pile of rocks fall to the ground.
Cole held out his hand and created an energy ball. "You can't free her!" Cole whispered.
Piper held out her hands and froze Cole. "Time out!" Piper yelled. Piper whirled around to the other demon. "I know Cole can't make force fields, so this must be your doing. So, buh bye." Piper said, as she waved good bye. Then the demon exploded into a million pieces.
Prue pointed to Paige. "She's dying and so is our niece! The force field is still there!" Prue yelled.
Piper turned to Phoebe and gave her a look of sadness. Then she raised her hands towards Cole.
"No!" Phoebe screamed. She dived in front of Cole. "Don't hurt him! It wasn't his fault!" Phoebe pleaded.
"But Paige!" Prue said, pointing to her dying sister.
Cole then unfroze and noticed that the other demon was no longer there. "You!" Cole roared, as he sent the energy ball at Piper.
Piper raised her hands, freezing the energy ball in mid air. "Free Paige!" Piper instructed.
"Never!" Cole sneered.
Without warning a ripple effect appeared in the air and a young woman appeared. It looked like she had shimmered in. Without a word she shimmered into the force field and grabbed Paige and then shimmered out. Moments later the young woman and Paige shimmered in. The young woman looked at Phoebe and Cole, then she smiled. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small vial, she threw the vial at Cole, hitting him in the chest, then she shimmered out.
A purple smoke rose from Cole's chest and then he fell to the floor. "Phoebe..." Cole called weakly. "I'm...so sorry....I didn't mean to..." Cole whispered.
"Leina, please, my sister!" Prue said, as she knelt down next to Paige and cradled her.
Leina kneeled down and placed her hands over Paige's stomach. A golden light began to glow from Leina's hands and moments later, Paige and her child her healed. Leina stood back up.
Prue helped her baby sister to her feet. "Oh Paige, I'm so glad you're okay!" Prue said, as she enveloped Paige in a hug.
"Thank you." Paige said, as she returned the hug.
Phoebe helped Cole up from the floor. "Who was that girl?" Phoebe asked.
"I was going to ask you. She seemed good, but she had demonic powers." Cole said.
Phoebe shook her head. "Whoever she was, she saved you and Paige." Phoebe replied.
Piper walked over to Paige and gave her a hug as well. "I'm so glad you're okay! You had me worried sick!" Piper scolded.
"Sorry..." Paige said. "Who was that girl?" Paige asked.
"I have no idea." Prue and Piper said in unison.
"Cole, I need to go see Paige, I'll be right back." Phoebe said. She walked over to Paige. "Paige, I'm glad your okay...But I still can't forgive you about how you're treating Cole." Phoebe said.
Paige glared. "He tried to kill me!" Paige hissed.
"He was under a demonic influence. It wasn't his fault!" Phoebe protested.
"Phoebe! Paige!" Piper screamed out. "Enough is enough! Paige...and Prue...you'll have to live with Phoebe loving Cole. Phoebe, you have to live with Prue and Paige not liking him. That's life, get over it!" Piper scolded.
Prue, Phoebe, and Paige gave a nod of their heads.
Phoebe walked back over to Cole, whispered into his ear, and then she wrapped her arms around him.
Cole nodded and shimmered them out.
Monica walked over to the remaining Charmed Ones and smiled. "Thank you so much, I'll hope to hear from you again someday." Monica said. She then walked over to Leina and took her hands. "Let's go." Monica said. She waved bye to Prue, Piper, and Paige.
The three sisters waved back and watched Monica and Leina orb out.
"What do ya say we do the same?" Piper asked, looking at Paige.
"Sounds mighty okay to me." Paige said, as she grabbed Prue and Piper's hands, then orbed them out. TO BE CONTINUED....
A/N: Just so you know, I'll be jumping ahead a few months in the chapters to come. Remember, she is about 3 months pregnant right now.
Charmed At Last
Chapter 14: A Witch Apart
Cole shimmered in, in front of Paige. "Why, hello Paige? How are you feeling? A little sick, I would hope?" Cole asked, as he created an energy ball. He sent the energy ball hurling at Paige.
