Family Affair
Chapter 18: Vanquish Thy Evil
Rosha began to cackle loudly and then a glowing ball of deep pink and gold sparks appeared in her hand. She hurled it at Phoebe.
Phoebe quickly levitated into the air, barely missing the strange looking ball, then she levitated back to the ground. She spun around to see the ball hitting Piper in the chest, knocking her unconscious. "Piper!" Phoebe gasped.
"Well, not the Charmed One that I was hoping for, but it'll do." Rosha said, as another one of the same balls appeared in her palm. This time she sent it flying at Prue.
"Prue! Look o...." Phoebe's words were lost in her eldest sister's scream of pain, as she ball hit her in the chest, even though she couldn't hear her sister. 'No, Prue!' Phoebe mentally screamed. 'Prue cannot control her phasing yet, let along see anything, I should have done something!' Phoebe mentally yelled at herself.
"Mommy!" Phiona cried, as she began to run to her mother.
Rosha held out her hand, this time sending a golden beam at Phiona.
"Phiona, no!" Phoebe cried. Then she felt herself shimmer out.
Phiona heard her Aunt Phoebe's cry and turned around, just in time to see her Aunt Phoebe shimmer in, in front of her.
The beam hit Phoebe, square in the stomach, and sent to her flying into a pile of boxes on the other side of the room. Bleeding severely from her stomach.
"No, the baby!" Phiona cried out, as she saw the blood pouring from her Aunt Phoebe's stomach. She was at a loss, not sure weather to run to her Aunt Phoebe and unborn cousin or her mother. Tears began to roll down her face. "Daddy!" Phiona screamed out.
Rosha cackled and eyed Paige. "Three down, one to go!" She said, as she held out her hand, aiming another golden beam at Paige.
Paige stared, frozen in her space, as she saw the beam flying at her. Then she shook her head and disappeared, in a beautiful swirl of glowing blue and white orbs. The beam hit the wall behind where Paige had previously stood, blowing up chunks of the wall. Then Paige orbed back in.
Phoebe, who was on the edge of life and death could feel Paige's extreme fear. Then it hit her! 'My empathy! I am feeling Paige's feelings, meaning I must have her powers too! And I can talk!' Phoebe said, with a sudden realization. She turned to Rosha and with a raspy breath she held out her hand. "R...ring!" Phoebe breathed. In a swirl of orbs the ring disappeared from Rosha's hand and then orbed into Phoebe's hand.
"No!" Rosha gasped, as she held up her hand, that now had no ring on it.
"B..blow her...her up!" Phoebe gasped, before blacking out.
Pearl held open her palm, concentrating deeply, then a glowing white ball of light appeared in her hand. She hurled it at Rosha.
Phiona held out her hands, sending orbs from both of them; the orbs swirled around Rosha and sent her flying into the exploding light ball, then the orbs vanished.
As Rosha's body hit the exploding light ball, there was a huge boom, and Rosha exploded into a magnificent vanquish.
"Uncle Leo! Uncle Leo!" Pearl screamed, as salty tears formed in her eyes.
"Daddy!" Phiona yelled, as she ran to her mother's side. "It gonna be..be okay mommy...." Phiona whispered, as a few stray tears dripped from her eyes and onto Piper's cheeks.
Leo orbed in, next to his daughter and wife. "Piper!" He whispered. He held his hands over his wife's stomach a golden light glowed from his palms, slowly healing Piper's wounds.
Paige orbed out.
Pearl rushed over to her Aunt Prue and placed took Prue's hand. "Be strong, Auntie Prue. Uncle Leo is gonna make everything all better!" Pearl said, in a stern tone.
Paige orbed in next to Phoebe and took her hand, quickly orbing them out.
Piper's eyes opened and she stared into Leo's eyes. "Leo..." She whispered.
Leo leaned down, kissing his wife, then pulled away. "Prue and Phoebe!" He said.
As if on que, Paige orbed in, on the floor with Phoebe.
Cole shimmered in and saw Phoebe's nearly lifeless body on the floor. "No!" He screamed, as he saw the blood pouring from his wife's stomach.
"Cole, she'll be fine, shimmer Prue to us!" Piper said, as she pointed to her eldest sister.
Cole stared at his wife for a moment longer, then shimmered out.
Leo placed his hands over Phoebe's stomach and a golden light began to glow from his hands, slowly healing Phoebe and her unborn child.
Cole shimmered in, with Prue's unconscious body, next to Paige.
Paige shoved Cole away from her eldest sister and grabbed one of Leo's free hands. She placed her other hand over Prue's chest. A golden light began to glow from Paige's hand and she slowly began to heal Prue.
Prue wasn't hurt nearly as bad as Phoebe, so she began to awaken within a few moments. She gasped for breath.
"Hurry, Paige, over here!" Leo said.
Paige placed both her hands over Leo's hands, making the golden healing glow, tremendously brighter. Within a few minutes, Phoebe and her unborn child were fully healed. Paige smiled and wrapped her arms around Phoebe's waist.
Phoebe smiled back and hugged Paige tightly. "Thank you." She whispered to Leo and Paige. She quickly looked over to Prue and Piper, seeing that they were fine too. Suddenly Phoebe felt a warm breeze blow past her and her ears hurt. She placed her hands over her ears and then the pain disappeared. "Leo, say something!" Phoebe ordered.
"What? Why?" He asked, forgetting that Phoebe couldn't hear.
"Because, I said so!" Phoebe stated.
Leo's mouth dropped open and he realized she had heard him. "Phoebe! Your hearing is back!" He said.
"I know!" Phoebe said, in a cheerful tone. She looked at her sisters. "And you?" She asked.
Prue felt a warm breeze blow past her and then her eyes began to hurt. Prue placed her hands over her eyes, rubbing them, then the pain was gone; she removed her hands and she could see again. "I...I can see again!" Prue exclaimed.
Paige felt a warm breeze rush past her and her throat began to hurt. She placed her hand over her throat and gently rubbed her throat, then the pain disappeared. She opened her mouth. "Prue?" She asked. She coughed a little. "Prue! Piper! Phoebe! I can talk again!" Paige yelled with joy.
Prue, Phoebe, and Paige turned their heads towards Piper.
Piper felt a warm breeze swish past her and then a pain shoot through her body. She placed her hands on her stomach and then the pain was gone. She looked to Leo and waved her hands, freezing her husband in place. She then looked at a candle that was sitting on the floor and flicked her wrist, exploding it into nothingness. She smiled at her sisters. "Everything is back!" Piper said. She turned to Leo and waved her hands, unfreezing him. Piper threw her arms around Leo and hugged him. "Everything is back again!" Piper said, in a joyful tone.
Leo smiled. "Good." He whispered.
Phoebe grinned and saw Cole, she motioned for him to come to her. "Cole." She said, with a smile.
Cole walked passed Prue and knelt down next to Phoebe. "How are you?" He asked, with concern.
"I'm fine." She responded.
"And what about our daughter?" Cole asked.
"She is fine too." Phoebe said. He placed her hand on her stomach, as she did, she realized the ring was still in her palm. "Piper." Phoebe said, as she threw the ring into the air.
Piper nodded her head and waved her hands, making the ring explode, never to be seen again.
Prue glanced over at Cole and sent him a glare.
Piper turned to Prue and glared at her. "Prue!" Piper hissed.
"What?" Prue snapped back.
"You shouldn't be glaring at Cole, he helped save your life!" Piper said, in a sour tone.
Prue looked Cole and made a huffing noise. "Thanks." She muttered, bearly audible.
Cole just nodded in reply, knowing it would be the best he could get out of Prue, and he shouldn't take it for granted. He swiftly turned to Phoebe. "Phoebe, I was thinking that maybe we could take the girls to the park for a while?" He suggested. "That is, if it is okay with Piper and....Paige." He said, quietly speaking the last name in his sentence.
Pearl and Phiona jumped up in excitement. "We wanna go with Auntie Phoebe and Uncle Cole!" They shouted, in unison.
"Can we, pleeeeeeeeeeease?! Pretty please, mommy?!" Pearl begged, as she stared at Paige with puppy eyes.
Phiona turned to Piper and Leo. "Please mommy?! Pwetty please?! With lots chewwies on top, wif sugar, and whip cweam?!" Phiona begged. She always loved spending time with her Aunt Phoebe and Uncle Cole, and her unborn little cousin. 'Aunt Phoebe is so fun, Uncle Cole is way too funny, and my little cousin hears me....I know it!' Phiona thought, with a glint of excitement in her eyes.
Piper nodded with a laugh. "Yes, you may go with Aunt Phoebe and Uncle Cole, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun!" Piper said, with a grin. She glanced over at Paige and sent her a look.
Paige waved her hand and turned away. "Yeah, sure, have fun." Paige murmered. She was glad that Pearl loved to hang out with Phoebe so much, but she didn't like the idea of Cole being around too.
Cole turned to his nieces and smiled, holding out his hands. "Well, you heard your mothers, lets go!" He said.
Pearl and Phiona rushed to their Uncle Cole, each grabbing on of his hands. "Lets go!" The repeated.
Phoebe took Pearl and Phiona's free hands, completely a circle. "Lets go!" She urged her husband.
Cole smiled. "We'll be back in a few hours." Cole said. Then he shimmered them out.
Piper shook her head. "You two should be ashamed at how you treat Cole, he is a caring man!" Piper scolded.
"You mean a, 'deman'!" Paige retorted.
"One who has been proned to evil and tried to kill us so many times!" Prue replied.
"And also saved us many times and turned good! I mean hell, what kind of an argument is that?! We have all been evil and tried to kill each other before!" Piper countered.
"But he is half demon!" Prue replied.
"Our newest niece will have demonic blood within her too, will you hate her too?!" Piper shot back.
"That's different!" Prue said, with a burst of anger.
"How?" Piper asked, as she folded her arms.
"She also has witch blood running through her, she is the daughter of a Charmed One!" Paige replied.
Piper shook her head. "You two will never get it. Just...just..." Piper's voice trailed off. She grabbed Leo's arm. "Orb us somewhere, anywhere, just as long as it is not here." Piper said.
Leo quietly nodded and orbed himself and his wife out.
Paige turned to Prue. "I'm going to go see Glenn at work. I'll meet up with you later, okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, that's fine, have fun." Prue replied, with a small smile.
"Thanks." Paige said, as she orbed out.
Prue stood there in the empty attic for a moment, just gazing at the items that it held, she quickly turned and walked out of the room. She hurried down the hall to her own room and walked inside. She waved her hand, telekinetically locking the door. She reached under her bed and pulled out a small shoebox, blew the dust off, and opened it up. She pulled out a load of pictures and stared at them, looking at herself and Andy, taken years ago. "Oh Andy, how I miss you so much!" Prue choked. A few tears slid down her face, as she flipped through the pictures. TO BE CONTINUED....
