Family Affair
Chapter 7: Nightmare On Prescott Street

Phoebe began to tremble with uncontroable fear. "Mommy!" Phoebe cried as, she she sunk to the floor, and curled up.

"Phoebe!" Piper said, as she kneeled down next to her younger sister. "Pheebs, what's wrong?!" Piper asked, in a concerned tone.

Pearl's bed was now soaked in the blood as welll as herself. "Mommy!" Pearl cried out again, her voice in a weak, pathetic tone.

Paige's eyes widened. "Pearl!" Paige gasped, as she orbed out.

Paige orbed in and took one look at her blood soaked child. "Oh my God!" Paige screamed in pure horror. "Leo! Leo!" Paige screamed, as she grabbed Pearl from the bed.

Leo orbed in and his face drained of color. He quickly placed his hands over Pearl's tiny body, but nothing happened. "Paige, she isn't hurt..." Leo said, with a look of confusion, and horror on his face.

"Then, why is she covered in blood?!" Paige screamed. "Come on, baby, wake up!" Paige begged, as she shook her daughter back and fourth, gently. "Go fill the bathtub with warm water! Hurry!" Paige screamed.

Leo nodded and quickly orbed out.

Prue came rushing into the room, just as Leo orbed out. "Paige what's...." Prue's voice trailed off as she saw her first niece covered in thick, crimson blood. "Oh God! What happened?!" Prue gasped.

"I..I don't know! Leo says that he can't heal her!" Paige said.

Prue walked over to Paige and cupped Pearl's tiny, blood soaked hands in her own. "Pearl, Auntie Prue's here. Wake up..." She said, softly.

Pearl wiggled in Paige's arms. "Mommy!" She cried out again. "Help me!" She whimpered.

"It's like...she's dreaming and I can't wake her up!" Paige said.

At that moment, Leo orbed back in. "It's ready..." He whispered.

Paige grabbed Prue's hand and orbed them out.

Paige orbed herself, Prue, and Pearl into the bathroom. Paige carefully placed Pearl into the bathtub and the water instantly became red. She carefully washed the blood off her daughter. "Pearl, Pearl...Wake up, baby!" Paige pleaded.

Prue pointed to Pearl's face. "Paige! Look! More blood and it's appearing out of nowhere!" Prue said, as she pointed to the droplets of blood that just seemed to be just showing up.

Paige took a handful of water and washed it over her daughter's face, but as soon as it was gone, more blood came.

Pearl was shaking. "Help! Aunt Prue! Aunt Piper! Mommy! Aunt Phoebe!" Pearl screamed.

Paige turned to Prue. "I..I don't know what to do...." She whispered.

"What if...what if it is a demon that is keeping her in a dream world?" Prue suggested.

"Is it possible?" Paige asked.

"In our world...anything is possible..." Prue said. She stood up. "I'll go check the book." She added, as she quickly left the room.

*****Dream*****

Pearl tried to look around but she couldn't see anything. Her face was covered in the droplets. "Who are you?" She asked again, trying to sound bold.

"I'm your worst nightmare...." The voice replied, with a cackle.

"No, this is my dream..." Pearl answered.

"Your dream? I think not...I took it from you, it's my world now. You are powerless." The voice countered.

Pearl held out her hand, trying to create a ball of glowing light, but nothing happened.

"Like I said, powerless..." The voice said, with a laugh.

"My mommy and...." Pearl started to say.

*****Dream*****

"....are going to find you!" Pearl's finished. She was still in her sleeping state though. "And kill you! You..you won't get away with this!" She yelled.

"Pearl! Pearl, who is it? Who are you talking to?" Paige asked, as she pulled her daughter out of the water and wrapped her in a towel. She carefully watched the towel become soaked with blood, as were Pearl's clothes.

Piper rushed into the bathroom. "Is she okay?!" Piper asked. She was holding a very sleepy Phiona.

"No...She is like..asleep..but is constantly being covered in blood, but has no wounds...And..she keeps talking to someone." Paige replied.

Prue walked up behind Piper, with the Book of Shadows in her hands. "I think I found something." Prue informed. TO BE CONTINUED....
