A/N wow, haven't updated in a long time have I? Kinda get bored with this
story. It's finished now! Please read it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed, only the story.
We orb back in my master's cavern. Out of the corner of my eye I see Chris sneaking around behind the demon. Piper throws up her hands to freeze him. I t doesn't work. I'm curious to see that Aspixus looks mildly surprised but then smiles. "Your powers don't work on me, Witch," he says.
Piper looks at Phoebe and they join hands. "Paige, quick," Piper says, holding out her hand to me. I smile at her and say nothing. "Paige," Piper says urgently. "Your sister won't be helping you," Aspixus smirks. "She's with me." "No," Phoebe says, shaking her head. "Yes," I say, speaking for the first time since we entered the cavern. "Sorry guys but – evils my calling. You don't expect me to ignore my destiny do you?"
"Paige, this is not your destiny," Chris spoke up. Aspixus flung out a hand and he collapsed to the floor. "Well, there goes your healing," Paige said. "Your pretty much screwed I'd say."
Piper and Phoebe looked at their sister and the demon helplessly. "Please, Paige," Piper pleaded. She felt an overwhelming feeling of love towards her sister who had gone so far wrong. "Paige, this isn't how you're supposed to be," Phoebe told her younger sister. "Oh yeah?" Paige spat. "Then how come I've gone evil so many times while I was with you. Tell me why I was an evil sorceress in a past life. Tell me that." Phoebe fell silent, having no answer. "Paige," Piper said softly. "Paige, look at me. Have you forgotten our sisterly bond? Do you remember just a few hours ago when you called to me for help and I came? Do you remember?"
I stare at her. Deep inside I feel a glimmer of – love, yes that's it – love towards my sisters. "Enough," Aspixus growls. I jump. I had forgotten he was there. "Do it," he hisses at me.
I stand doing nothing. I'm torn. On the one hand is my master, Aspixus. On the other are my sisters, the women who have helped me through tough times. "Do it," the demon growls at me again. I look at him and then back to my sisters. I know that the choice I'm about to make is going to affect not only my sister's lives but the lives of our family line. I hesitate, and then make my decision.
"No," I say, coldly and firmly to Aspixus. His upper lip curls. "What?"
"No," Paige repeated. Piper and Phoebe stared at her, relief washing over them. Aspixus shook his head. "Very well," he muttered. "Shame, Paige. We could have been great together." Paige said nothing, staring at him with narrowed eyes. Piper stepped forward and pushed Paige back toward Phoebe. Phoebe grabbed Paige's hand and squeezed it tightly.
"Before we vanquish you, I want to tell you something," Piper said angrily. Aspixus raised his eyebrows. "Yes?" "Nothing – nothing – can break our sisterly bond. You can kill one, you can turn one evil but in the end we'll always pull through together. You can't change that."
"Very touching," Aspixus sneered. His hand flicked a little, as though he was about to blast Piper, then stopped. "Well, I supposed you'll need to join your sisters and vanquish me then."
I stare at him, curious. He sounds so calm. Piper turns and walk back over to us then, just a few steps away, stops. She appears to bang into some invisible wall. Piper puts her hands up and touches a barrier. Phoebe and I rush forward and smack into the wall. "Piper," Phoebe cries. I see Piper's mouth moving but the other side seems to be soundproof. I see Aspixus smiling and his mouth opening.
"Give up, Witch," Aspixus said. "You won't vanquish me on your own and your sisters can't do it. You need the power of three to get rid of me." Something in his words gave the eldest sister an idea. It dangled frustratingly out of reach and Piper tried to grab it. "Power of three," echoed in her mind. Piper's eyes grew wide and she ran to the wall. "Chris," she mouthed frantically to Phoebe, hoping her sister would understand. "Power of three, Chris," she mouthed, making no noise. She hoped Aspixus wouldn't be able to understand what was going on. Surprise was vital if this was going to work.
Phoebe looked confused. "What?" she mouthed back. Aspixus watched with amusement in his eyes. "You know that whatever you do you won't be able to win," he said smugly. "I've got you." Piper took no notice, gesturing to the middle sister.
Suddenly Phoebe's expression changed from confusion to understanding. "Paige," she called to the youngest. "We've got to get Chris up." Paige wasted no time asking questions but hurried to the young Whitelighter. She shook him roughly and Phoebe rushed to him. ""Chris, you've got to get up," she yelled to him. Chris groaned and opened one eye.
Phoebe pulls him up. "Power of three," she yells. "Chris, you're Piper!" I have no idea what's going on. "What?" I ask. Phoebe turns to me. "Pretend Chris is Piper," she says. Chris seems to understand and looks at the spell. "Let's do it," he says.
Piper watched in relief as her sisters and Chris got organised. Aspixus seemed to have figured out that something was happening. "What are they doing?" he asked the older Halliwell sharply. When Piper didn't reply he pushed her roughly up the wall. "What's happening?" he asked again.
Piper gasped for breath. "They're..." she tried but couldn't speak. The demon loosened his grip a little. "Yes?" "They're vanquishing you," Piper gasped.
"The potion?" Chris asks Phoebe. :The spell might help," she answers. I still have no idea what's happening but it has to work. Aspixus is hurting my sister on the other side of the wall and we've got to help her. "Spell," Phoebe yells.
The demon's grip on Piper began to loosen dramatically and Piper looked over her shoulder to see the others reading the spell. Finally Aspixus let go altogether and slumped to the floor. He seemed to be getting weaker by the second. "No," he cried. "Only the power of three can vanquish me." His eyes met Piper's and understanding suddenly blazed in them.
As we keep reading a glimmer appears over the barrier, getting stronger as we chant. I don't understand how it works when we substitute Chris for Piper but I don't question it. Finally the glimmer gets so bright that it hurts our eyes then it suddenly vanishes. "Potions," Phoebe yells. We all throw our vials and watch them land at the feet of our enemy.
Aspixus screamed a dying scream. The potions surrounded him and he blew up, finally gone forever.
Piper ran to the others. "I – I don't understand," Paige said. "How..." "Chris and Piper switched powers," Phoebe explained to her younger sister. "They didn't get a chance to switch back, lucky for us."
Paige nodded. "I'm sorry," she said. "Later," Chris said. "Let's get out of here." He grabbed Piper and orbed out. Paige did the same with Phoebe and orbed into the manor. The four stood in the living room. "Well," Piper said awkwardly. She sat down on the couch and motioned for her sisters and their Whitelighter to sit down next to her. They sat in a comfortable silence, getting over everything that had just happened.
Later that night the Halliwell manor stood in darkness. Paige lay in bed, sleeping peacefully with no dreams of death. Piper and Phoebe lay curled up together on the couch, both sound asleep. Chris stood in front of the two older sisters, watching them. He smiled. He had done well. He had protected his charges and they completely trusted him now. He had not given himself away to them. But soon his plan would be put into action. Very soon...
THE END
A/N phew, finally finished. Thank you to anyone who's reviewed and anyone else who read it. There will be a sequel! I'm not sure what it'll be called but look out for it. Thank you faithful readers!
