A/N: BTW, the title is supposed to be kinda funny. "Wicked Witch Of The
West" turned to "Wiccaned Witch Of The West Coast"....Anyway....
Family Affair
Chapter 23: Wiccaned Witch Of The West Coast
Piper spun around and stared out the window. "What just happened with the weather?" She asked.
Phoebe shook her head. "I have no idea." She responded.
Cole shimmered in, next to her. "Phoebe, it's begun!" Cole said.
"What has? What has begun?" Phoebe asked. He heart began to beat faster and her breathing quickened, she could tell something bad was up, or she wouldn't be feeling Cole's emotions this strong.
"The battle! Between Detemerous and the only person that has the power to defeat him! This is why the weather changed, they've come in contact with each other!" Cole stated.
"But who is it?" Phoebe asked.
"And do you mean to say that, we weren't meant to destroy him?" Prue asked, as she turned to Cole.
"Correct! And I don't know who it is." He said.
Glenn walked back into the room. "Have you found anything?" He asked.
Prue shook her head. "No, I still can't find Phiona." She said. "I'll be right back." She said, as she left the room.
"Prue, where are you going?" Phoebe called, but Prue was too far away to hear her.
Prue walked into the kitchen and over to a few cabinets. She took out a few ingrediants and placed them into a bowl. She added some water and mixed it together, making a red liquid. She poured the liquid into a small cup and quickly walked back to the attic.
"Prue, what are doing?" Phoebe asked, as she stared at her older sister.
"I'll be right back." Prue said, as she gulped down the red liquid. "Spirit to spirit, bring me to the one I seek, send my spirit, as my heart beats." Prue recited. Suddenly her eyes closed and her body went limp.
Astral Prue appeared behind Detemerous as he aimed his darklighter arrow. She looked past him to see 4 people she didn't know and her baby sister, Paige. She quickly regained her senses and spun kick Detemerous, knocking the darklighter arrow from his hands. "Lay off my sister!" Astral Prue yelled.
Determerous spun around, immediately hurling a dark purple energy ball in Astral Prue's direction. "How'd you get here?! This is magically protected from any magical 'sensing'!" He yelled.
Astral Prue disappeared in a ruby colored flare, missing the purple energy ball, and then minutes later the ruby flare appeared again, on the other side of Detemerous. "Over here!" Astral Prue called, in a mocking tone.
Paige instantly knew it was her eldest sister's astral form. "Prue...." She whispered.
Astral Prue sent a small grin in Paige's direction. "Let my sister be free, let her powers be returned to the 'Twice Blessed' she, so she may continue her Charmed destiny!" She recited.
Royal blue rays of light swirled around the ring of white light and then consumed it.
"She's safe!" Paige called.
Astral Prue waved her hand. "It's up to you, Paige, we can't help you anymore!" She yelled. Then vanished, in another ruby flare.
Prue's eyes opened.
"Prue?" Piper asked. "Are you okay?" She qustioned.
"It's Paige's job to defeat Detemerous and we can't interfere." Prue informed.
"But...what?! Paige is, 'Up There'! How...." Piper began, but was abruptly cut off.
"And Phiona's safe." Prue said.
"How do you know?" Phoebe asked.
"Paige said she was. When she's back, you can ask her how she pulled it off." Prue said, with a shrug.
"Hurry, go!" Paige yelled to the other 4 whitelighters.
In a flurry of blue and white orbs, the 4 whitelighters disappeared.
Paige turned back to Detemerous. "So, it's just you and I now?" She questioned.
"If you were trapped, then you obviously have whitelighter blood within you, so I'll have to do with that!" He said. He waved his hand, telekinetically sending Paige flying at the wall.
Paige felt the air wizzing past her as she was telekinetically sent flying backwards, but she quickly orbed out, before she could hit anything. Paige's orbs appeared behind Detemerous and crashed into his back, sending him flying face first, into the wall. The orbs vanished and Paige orbed in, on the opposite side of the room.
Detemerous hit the wall face first and spun around with lightning quick speed, hatered filled his eyes. "I'll kill you for that and make it more painful than you ever imagined!" He yelled, as a darklighter crossbow appeared in his hands.
"Sure ya will." Paige mocked. "Crossbow!" Paige yelled, as she held out her hands. In a flurry of blue and white orbs, the crossbow vanished. Then in another swirl of blue and white orbs, the crossbow orbed into Paige's awaiting hands. She carefully aimed the crossbow at Detemerous.
Detemerous looked down at his hands and looked back at Paige. He waved his hand, instantly the crossbow was engulfed in flames, and burned into nothing.
Paige glared. "I'm not that easy!" She whispered. "Detemerous!" She yelled. In a swirl of blue and white orbs, Detemerous vanished, then he orbed in and immediately crashed into the wall.
Detemerous hit the wall, realizing this witch-whitelighter was much like himself, but in the good sense and would be a hard apponent. He smoked out.
'Oh, this cannot be good.' Paige thought. Then she began to sense something evil about to attack and she swirled around, just in time to see Detemerous smoke in.
"Not this time, whitewitch!" He said. There was a silver glow in his hand and then a glinting athame appeared. He quickly plunged it into Paige's chest.
Paige fell to the ground, as crimson blood dripped from her chest.
"I knew you wouldn't....couldn't defeat me." Detemerous cackled. His hand began to glow purple as he reached down to plunge it into Paige's chest.
"Athame...." Paige whispered. The athame instantly orbed out of Paige's chest and orbed into Detemerous' chest.
Detemerous fell backwards, hitting his head on the wall, as blood poured from his chest. "No.." He coughed, as he tried to pull the athame from his body.
Paige was fighting to keep her eyes open. "Ath...athame..." She coughed. The athame orbed out of Detemerous' chest and orbed in, stuck through the center of his back.
Detemerous stammered backwards and fell to the ground, a large pile of blood was beginning to pool under him and blood was filling his mouth and nose.
Paige took a quick look around the room and eyed the door. "Door.." She breathed. The door orbed out and then orbed in, flying directly into Detemerous' body, sending both the door and Detemerous sliding into the wall; crushing Detemerous between the wall and door. Paige slowly orbed out and then orbed in, kneeling on the ground next to Detemerous. "..Athame.." She called, in a small whisper. She covered her wound with her left hand and held out her right hand. The athame orbed into her hand and she stared into Detemerous' dark gray eyes, then a split second later, she plunged the athame into his heart.
Detemerous coughed and shook violently.
The rainbow rays of light were still glowing from the golden egg and then without warning, it exploded into nothingness, except for 1 amythist colored gem; which fell to the floor and was lost in the darkness of the cave.
Paige grimaced at her own wound and orbed out.
A black smoke arose from Detemerous' body and slowly disappeared into the air.
Paige orbed into the Manor of the attic, on the floor, and then slipped into a world of darkness. TO BE CONTINUED....
