BACK WITH A PAST

CHAPTER 7

Down stairs John still had Phoebe up against the wall, she was so close to falling unconscious but some how held on, because she knew once her conscious fade so would the protection spell that she had put around the room where Jason and Phoebe was. John's hands clasped tighter around the youngest, and he pushed himself tighter placing one hand underneath her shirt he let his hand touch her soft skin, and move along the lower of her back, he decided to take a different approach, "Pheebs let me make a deal, you let me into John and I won't kill your sisters. What do you say?"

Prue looked on from the other room, anger boiled through her body as tears fell for her sister, she screamed but it didn't help, she cried and begged but nothing stopped him. Why did Phoebe have to cast that spell? I know why, because she wants to do exactly what I want to do. Protect the people that I love! Prue thought. It really was killing her that Phoebe was going through this close to death. She couldn't scream any more only watch as he sister was beat and taunted.

Piper filliped through the book franticly as the commotion continued down stairs, she hared as her oldest sister beg for them to leave Phoebe alone, her hands shook and her heart beat so fast she could feel it thudding against her chest, Then suddenly she found the picture, the were Demonic assassins, Piper grabbed a pen and Piper and wrote down the spell that would vanquish them, her writhing was shaky, as tears threaten to fall at the thought she might be to late. As soon as the last word was down Piper grabbed it and ran for the stairs.

Phoebe forced her eyes open feeling his hand touch her skin, it brought back many unwanted memories, one that she had forced to the back of her head, thinking she would never have to remember all that happened, she was wrong. She cringed at his touch, her stomach knotted and a lump formed in her throat, but she didn't have enough energy to fight.

John brought his face closer to Phoebe's before forcing his mouth on hers, she tried to stop him but she was to weak and he too strong. After a few seconds which felt like minuets to Phoebe, he pulled back with an evil grin on his face, he was breathless but still continued to taunt her, "Fine you don't let that thing down, so I can kill him, I'll just have to kill you first, then I can get to him, and after killing him, you're sisters are dead!" With this he grabbed Phoebe and through her into the table that was in the middle of the lobby, causing the table to crash into pieces and a now semi – unconscious Phoebe, "You... should... have... stayed... in... New York!" John screamed in between forceful kicks to Phoebe's stomach and head, "Why...are...you...been...so...strong...just give...me...what...I want..." He continued, the kicks still of the same force, he stopped and looked down at an un recognizable Phoebe, blood cover her face and floor, he cloths also matted with it as was her hair. He smiled, as he had got half of his revenge but the other half was been protected by magic. He lifted out his hand, but as he tried to create and energy ball, nothing happened.

He screamed and in rage through another kick at Phoebe, straight to her side, it was to much not, the pain had pushed Phoebe into unconsciousness, as she did the magic started to fade around the room, that was when he hared the chants of the middle sister, John looked up towards her as did Clay, there eyes wide with fear of death and touched in the eternal flames of beyond. Clay was froze in fear unlike John who dived along the floor grabbing the gun that Phoebe had dropped to the floor, he took quick aim, as his body combusted inside out into flames, he screamed in pain, just before he burst into flames he shot the gun.

The sound, echoed through their minds, as the gun was pointed Prue took quick towards the middle sister who stood at the bottom of the stairs and as she heard the shot been fired she dived into Piper pushing her out the way, she felt her arm explode and the built crack of the bone, the pain unbearable, she fell on top of Piper just as John and Clay burst into flames, painful screams filled the manor, until silence.

Blood seeped through to Prue's arm quickly and she applied the required pressure, tears in her eyes. Piper quickly got from underneath Prue and shouted her name, "PRUE!" desperately trying to get an answer, Prue opened her eyes and fought through the pain, "I'm fine. Go to Phoebe!" she ordered it was then that both of the older sisters looked over at their sister, a mass of red lay on the floor, her body still not a movement, both sisters were in shock, what if... no they couldn't even think it.

Piper scrambled across the floor to where Phoebe was lay "PHOEBE! Come on honey wake up, please!" She bagged, Prue forced herself to stand up, her arm bleeding heavily and her legs trembling, she forced herself to push through the excruciating pain to save the life of her sister. She made her way over to Jason who lay unconscious on the floor.

Piper turned Phoebe on her side and put her two finger on Phoebe's neck, the blood was everywhere Piper was crying as she searched frantically for a pulse, in receiving a faint pulse Piper searched for the words, she didn't know why she hadn't done this sooner, "LEO!" she screamed in desperation, "LEO!" It was then that the familiar blue orbs appeared behind them all, as soon as he materialized he saw Phoebe lying on the floor he instantly went over to the unconscious sister and although in shock, rose his hands over her face and the lights began to brighten as the effect of Leo's healing hands took pace upon the wounded sister close to death.

After a few seconds the blood stated to fade and color started to once again return to he paled completion, she started to make a gurgling noise and then not long after was forced into a coughing fit, her eyes slowly opened as pain hit her, she gasped for air, all she could hear was the drone of what she thought was the voice of her oldest sisters, "Piper, what's happening?" Prue asked from across the room where she was gripping her arm next to Jason who was regaining consciousness. "She's coming round." Piper explained the relief evident in her voice. Phoebe's vision was now returning to normal, she saw Leo pull his hands away and smile a small gleam of relief, before standing back giving her room. She didn't say anything, only slowly sat up because of her side where she had been kicked was a dark shade of red and she feared the pain would become too much.

Piper reached forward to her youngest sister, "You're okay. He's gone." Phoebe moved back from Piper's comforting hand and shook her head. Piper was shocked and hurt by her sister's reaction. Phoebe looked across to where Prue was next to Jason, she couldn't help but let the guilt wash over her, then she saw Prue's bleeding arm, Phoebe let tears fall silently as the surroundings of the manor and the people she loved became but a drone.

Would life return to what it once was before the night John came to the house? Would Phoebe ever trust again? Would she be able to deal with the pain of the resent events that filled her mind? These were questions that only time would answer.
