Charmed At Last
Chapter 28: A Half Can Make A Difference
A shimmer of magic washed over the Halliwell manor.
Leo stood up, hearing a call from The Elders. "Piper, I have to go, it's urgent. I'll be right back." Leo said, from across the room. Without another word, he orbed out.
Phoebe placed her hand to her head. "Whoa...I just had the weirdest sensation. Like something was being pulled right out of me." Phoebe said.
Prue gave Phoebe a suspicious look. "You too?" Prue asked, as she blinked to clear her vision.
Phoebe nodded. "So, it wasn't just me?" Phoebe asked.
"I felt it too." Piper said. She waved her hand over her face, feeling a little hot.
"Ditto...But it didn't feel like a rip, rather a small tug." Paige said.
"I felt a rip." Prue, Piper, and Phoebe said in unison.
"I wonder if anyone else felt it?" Phoebe asked.
"Maybe that's why Leo just up and orbed?" Prue suggested.
"The Elders probably know something they aren't telling us." Paige said.
There was a shimmer and then 2 women and 2 men appeared.
A red head shot a blast of fire at Piper.
Piper raised her hands to freeze the fire but nothing happened. "Prue!" Piper shrieked, as she continued to wave her hands.
Prue waved her hand and nothing happened. "Piper du.." Prue screamed, but before she could finish, she was hurled into the wall.
Piper smashed back into the wall, as flames began to scorch her body.
Phoebe noticed one of the men send a plasma beam at her and she jumped into the air, but fell back with a thud, right in the path of the plasma beam.
"Phoebe!" Paige screamed. She held out her hand creating a white ball of light and hurled the light ball between Phoebe and the beam. But as the ball hit the beam, the ball was destroyed, but the beam kept going. "Duck!" Paige screamed.
Phoebe flipped to the side, barely dodging the plasma beam. 'Why the hell aren't our powers working? Oh my God! It must have been that thing that we felt!' Phoebe thought, as she jumped to her feet. She ran out and did a jumping spin kick, right into the woman who fire blasted Piper. She watched the woman fly back into the wall.
Paige rushed over to Piper, who was laying unconcious on the floor, with burns all over her body. "Leo! Leo!" Paige yelled. "It'll be okay Piper, I promise, we'll figure this out!" Paige said, as she stroked Piper's head.
"Paige! Look out!" Phoebe shrieked.
Paige looked up to see a plasma beam flying at her. Paige closed her eyes, covered her face, and braced herself for the impact. Suddenly she orbed out and then back in. Paige opened her eyes and stared behind her, as the plasma beam hit a chair and shattered it. "I can still orb!" Paige yelled. Paige grabbed Piper's hand and orbed them out.
Phoebe flipped out of the way of an incoming energy ball and then sent a punch into one of the demon's faces.
Paige orbed in, next to Prue, who was bleeding from her head. "Shit!" Paige cursed. "Leo! Leo!" Paige screamed at the top of her lungs. "You're wife is dying!" Paige screamed.
Moments later Leo orbed in and placed his hands over Piper's chest.
"Give me one of your hands." Paige insisted.
Leo placed his left hand in Paige's hand and Paige placed her free hand over Prue's head.
With that a golden light began to glow from Leo and Paige's free hands.
Prue and Piper's wounds began to magically heal until they were gone.
Leo let Paige's hand go and helped Piper up.
Paige grabbed Prue's hands and helped her up as well.
"How come you have your powers and we don't?" Prue asked.
"Because, a demon has cast a spell over the Manor to take away a witch's powers, all who that were inside of the Manor at the time were effected." Leo answered.
"Paige was in here too, but she can still orb and partially heal." Prue said.
"Since she is half whitelighter and those are whitelighter or partially whitelighter powers, she still has them. The demon made a mistake and cast it just to take a witch's powers. So anything that is witchly, she doesn't have." Leo explained.
"Nor does my baby. My telekinetic orbing and ability to sense evil are gone. My baby can create light balls, but they're harmless." Paige said.
"Hey!" Phoebe shouted. "A little help here?!" Phoebe called, as she flipped over an energy ball.
"Be right there." Paige said. She orbed out and then her orbs reappeared behind the plasma beam demon. Her orbs rammed into his back, picking him up from the ground, and then smashing him into the wall. The orbs vanished and then Paige orbed in behind the fire throwing demoness. She looked behind her and grabbed metal letter opener. Paige jabbed the letter opener through the demoness's back and she burst into a dusty vanquish.
"Cool." Phoebe said.
"Not bad for a six month pregnant lady, is it?" Paige asked.
"Not bad at all." Phoebe said, as she high fived her little sister. "Orb me over to him." Phoebe said, as she pointed to the plasma beam throwing demon.
Paige took Phoebe's hand and orbed them out.
Prue looked at Piper. "Let's go help." Prue said, as she grabbed a potted plant from the hallway.
Paige and Phoebe orbed in.
Phoebe walked over to the demon and wrapped her arm around his neck, with a swift move, she broke the demon's neck. She stepped back and he dissolved into floor, vanquished.
Prue motioned for Paige.
Paige orbed out.
Phoebe spun around to the 2, remaining demons. "Who's next?" Phoebe asked, as she got into an offensive position.
Paige orbed in and grabbed Prue's hand.
"Behind him." Prue said, as she pointed to the remaining male demon.
Paige grabbed Prue's hand and orbed them out.
Piper already knew Prue's plans and rolled her eyes. "What? No volunteers? I guess we'll have to pick then...you!" Piper said, as she pointed to the demoness.
Prue and Paige orbed in.
Prue held up the potted plant. "Take this, asshole!" Prue snapped, as she beat the demon over the head with the potted plant.
The demon fell to the ground and Paige grabbed one of the sharp shards of the potted plant. "Say bye bye." Paige said, as she stabbed the demon with the shard. He bursts into flames and was vanquished.
With the demise of her fellow demons, the last remaing demoness, shimmered out.
"Scardy demon!" Phoebe called out.
Paige looked pissed. "And on my wedding day!" Paige roared with anger. "Let the object of objection become but a dream, as I cause the seen, to be unseen!" Paige yelled out. White lights swirled around the room and everything returned to normal. "I want revenge...And all my powers back!" Paige said. TO BE CONTINUED....
