Chapter 9

Shelbie and Paige were in the kitchen pacing back and forth wondering where Phoebe had gone to and when Leo would come back. Paige was in the middle of a catharsis and every once and a while Shelbie would start crying. A million different scenarios were racing through Paige's mind: Was Phoebe dead too? Did she kill herself? Did Piper die? Was the same person who killed Jason killing Piper or Phoebe right at this very moment? Paige was worried and didn't want to just wait around for something to happen. She wanted to go and find out where her sisters were. But she couldn't leave until she had someone else home to keep and eye on Shelbie. All of a sudden Shelbie shouted out, "Damn it!"

"What?" Paige questioned but by that time Shelbie was racing out the door. Paige didn't know what to do. So she let her go. Paige didn't think it was the right thing to do. "Holy shit!" She grabbed her coat and ran out the door. "What the hell? I can orb!" She disappeared in a blue swirl.

Paige reappeared again in P3. Piper always came to P3, not just to work it made her feel calm. She loved the fact that it was her masterpiece, she made it, and she said it was her only success. A very large lump formed in her throat. Right in front of her was Piper, dead, and Phoebe weeping on the floor. She collapsed near Phoebe.

"Hello, hello. Seems the Charmed Ones have reached a bit of a meltdown," they heard Cole smirk.

"You--- you did this," Paige stammered. Obviously Shelbie had the same idea as Paige and ran over to P3, but then swirling orbs appeared and there was Leo and Chris ready to get rid of Cole.

"Kiss my ass dip-shit you're not taking anymore of my family!" Chris shouted. –Yes corny line I know- He and Shelbie forced him against the wall. Cole didn't lose conscience.

"Like my new power. It's called "invincible" would you like me demonstrate some other powers of mine?" Cole sneered. Shelbie thrust out her hand and sent a lightning bolt straight for Cole. Cole dodged it and sent a power electrical shock, which sent her flying against the wall putting a slit three-quarters of the way down her head. Phoebe ran over to her but Cole blinked over to her grabbed her and blinked out. Before they knew it Cole and Phoebe were gone and Piper and Shelbie were dead. Chris and Leo stood there in shock. Leo ran over to Piper and tried to heal her, but there was nothing inside her. Shelbie was the same way. They were like hollow. No soul. Just a carcass.
