Halliwell Destinies

Chapter 13

Pierce sat quietly on the kitchen counter while Phoebe made peek-a-boo faces at baby Leo. He giggled happily and wiggled on the blanket that Chris had laid on the floor and sat with him until Phoebe and Cole had come in and played with him. Pierce had been absolutely racked with the fact that she had been blown up from behind and hadn't been left with a mark from it.

"Pierce..." Chris said coming into the kitchen. "You have to stop."

"Stop what?" Pierce hissed, she was totally on the end.

"You really need to chill." Cole said picking up baby Leo.

"Really Cole? Do I?" Pierce said trying to take Leo from Cole who shielded momentarily.

"What are you doing? Give me my baby or there will be some hell in this kitchen right here and I don't mean the hell you came from. My hell is worse buddy." Pierce ranted, her eyes widened and she put her hand over her mouth.

"Pierce," Chris said putting his hand on her shoulder. "Not safe."

"Oh, Cole I'm sorry. I mean it I don't even know what's going on with me anymore I need to just do something to occupy my time to keep from killing people with my annoying mean attitude. I mean ---"

Pierce was cut off when she turned to see Paige come into the room her hair messy and her face tear streaked but she looked angry above all things. She looked around the room I amazement and shook her head.

"Honey?" Phoebe said running to her and putting her hands on Paige's shoulders.

"I lost him." Paige said slowly as if they were the first she had said in days.

"Lost who?" Pierce asked walking to her.

"An innocent. Dr. Bradley." Paige said, her mystified tone turning to one of sorrow.

"The new temp job guy?" Phoebe asked.

"Yes." Paige folded herself into a chair by her.

The four sisters joined around the small kitchen table and sat together staring at one another. Paige seemed to always take it the hardest when they lost an innocent especially if it was from her job.

"What kind of demon was it?" Cole asked as he handed baby Leo to Chris who was about to feed him.

"It was his girlfriend. I watched her kill him and take his soul then blast me through a wall and leave me to die." Paige said looking up at Chris and baby Leo.

"Why did she kill him?" Pierce asked.

Paige shrugged. Piper nodded and got up from the table. Pierce and
Phoebe followed her up the stairs Paige sat numbly for a minute then
followed them. The four of them stood in a semi circle around the book
flipping through the book while Paige shook her head at each page.
Until they reached a page and Paige slammed her hand down on the book-
stopping Piper from turning the page.

"The sisters? We have flipped past this a million times never knowing why it was here." Phoebe said looking intently at the book.

"Says here that they were sent into the abyss of the underworld to serve the source for all eternity after they killed dozens of demons and witches." Piper said reading the fine loopy print.

"The sisters? As in Samara, Sapphire, Sicily, Satin and Sibyl?" Cole asked coming into the attic.

"As a matter of fact, yes. What do you know about them?" Pierce asked looking at him.

"Oh not a lot. Just that Samara was killed by the source around the time that..." Cole paused. "Paige showed up."

"So there is only four of them now?" Paige turned to him.

"Yes, Sapphire is Pipers age. Sicily is Phoebe's age. Satin is Paige's age and Sibyl is Pierce's age. Samara was Prue's age when she died." Cole looked at Leo who had just orbed into the attic with a grim look on his face.

"Whats wrong with you?" Piper asked him.

"I just visited a group of very angry elders." Leo said looking at the girls.

"What for?" Phoebe narrowed her eyes and put her hand on her hip.

"Apparently, Paige your doctor wasn't the only one whose soul was stolen." Leo answered.

"What? Who else?" Pierce asked as she leaned to look at the book again.

"Three other men. All good souls that shouldn't have been taken to the underworld. They know what's going on."

"Then stop beating around the bush and tell us." Pierce hissed.

"The sisters aren't the first to try this. Their mother and her sisters did the same and were sent to serve for the source. The next generation named after the sisters before them. It was said that Samara was the mother of the sisters." Leo said he had everyone's attention. "So the sisters before them built an extensive army taking mainly good souls and tried to take over the source. Well apparently it didn't work and they were sentenced to work for the source. The next generation, born under the same curse, was kept prisoners until the downfall of the source. Now since he is gone they are breeding a super army to take over then elders then the rest of the world. They would have gone unnoticed if they hadn't been seen by a charmed one or the killing of all of those people at once. They seem to be stepping up the process, the elders say that soon the charmed ones will have children old enough to defend themselves in the near future and the want to avoid that at any cost."

The girls sat staring at Leo. It was a lot to take in at once but Phoebe sprang to action scribbling down the ingredients to the vanquishing potion on the page with the sisters. The four of them decided to summon the sisters and vanquish them. Leo, Cole, Chris and the babies went somewhere safe.

"So, you guys ready?" Paige asked, she had gained control of herself probably from the fact that she was about to get revenge.

The girls nodded and lit the candles then stood in a circle ad recited the spell they had made to call upon the sisters. A hiss of red ad black smoke came up from the ground and filled the whole circle. The smoke filled the circle but not passing the edges of the candles. When the smoke cleared the girls gasped. There was four girls standing in front of them, all identical to one of the girls, the only difference was that all four of the other girls had black hair.

"How amazing is this sisters?" The oldest, a clone of Piper, said with a smile.

"Amazing." The youngest, the one that looked identical to Pierce her hair was the only difference.

"What the..." Paige said staring at the sisters.

"Did your whitelighter not tell you? We are also your evil twins." The twin of Phoebe said curling her finger around a twist of hair.

"We don't have time for this!" Pierce yelled to her own sisters.

"Your right!" Piper yelled and pulled out the piece of paper with the spell on it.

"Fighting armies, soaring souls--" The four were cut off.

"We want more--" The opposing four sisters screamed over them.

"Stop these sisters from their--" Once again cut off.

"Take the identities of the Halliwell four!" The evil sisters belted out before the other sisters could finish the last word, goals.

Pierce, Piper, Phoebe and Paige let out loud screams as their identities were ripped from them. They watched as the sisters took on their features. The only change in them was their hair and the exact same clothes the girls were wearing.

"Holy crap!" Pierce screamed as she looked at Piper.

Piper looked down at herself as did they rest of the girls. They were clad in black outfits with long stringy black hair. They had switched bodies with the other sisters. It was far from amazing and Pierce basked in the glow of their spell for a minute realizing that she still had traits from who she knew was Sibyl.

"Leo!" Piper yelled, nothing happened for a good two minutes while all of the girls stood staring at one another.

"Leo!" Sibyl yelled instead.

Leo appeared instantly with Chris, Cole and a very confused looking Richard. Chris looked at Sibyl then at Pierce. Leo did the same with Piper and Sapphire looking confused. All of the men looked like they were about to run.

Piper threw her hands up to try and blow up Sapphire but nothing happened she was immune to Piper's powers. Phoebe jumped to levitate and kick Sicily in the face but Cole shot an energy ball at her and it would have hit her if Pierce hadn't made a jump for it letting in hit her hard in the side. She was still able to shimmer Phoebe and herself. She screamed to Paige to shimmer Piper.

"Now what?" Piper said touching the place where the energy ball had hit Pierce and was just a big red mark now.

"We are so screwed." Paige said sitting down on the dirt.

"Where are we exactly?" Phoebe asked looking around.

"The only place I could think of." Pierce said looking around. "A beautiful vacant branch of hell where the sisters live. I seem to be able to tap into her memories too, which means she can probably tap into mine."

"So what are we going to do? We can't stay this way for very long I have a husband and two kids who are being manipulated right now." Piper said looking at Pierce.

"Yeah I have a boyfriend and a son that are probably being manipulated right now too." Pierce said rubbing her side, it itched.

"First of all," Phoebe looked around. "We have to figure something out, something they don't have that we do. What's that?"

"Well, we did have good hair." Paige said lifting a chunk of stringy black hair and grimacing at it.

"What do we have that they don't?" Pierce asked looking around at them.

"I don't know. Lots of dead things." Piper said noticing dozens on bones lying around them.

"Dead things..." Phoebe was getting an idea. "Prue's dead. They don't have a fifth sister!"

"Very morbid. But good." Pierce answered looking at the other two who looked skeptical. "Then you two genius's come up with a plan."

"We don't have one. Whatever works is what we have to do." Piper answered standing.

They looked around for candles and Pierce had an idea. She grabbed the sisters and orbed them all into a run down house that overlooked a pool of lava. The house was completely without lights and it was dark only lit by candles that circled a picture of Prue. But it wasn't Prue it looked just like her though.

"Good your back did you find those charmed ones?" The four sisters spun around to face Belthazor.

"What are you doing here?" Pierce demanded then she caught on.

"I live here," He looked at Phoebe. "Your sister is doing it again Sicily."

Phoebe was standing there speechless. Belthazor looked from one sister to the next the focused back on Phoebe who had a strange look in her eyes.

"Where are the sisters? You aren't them." He said.

"Oh good lord!" Pierce cried, her frustration boiling up in her.

"What are you doing here? Where is my wife?" He asked coming closer.

"She stole Phoebe's body and the other three stole ours. Now if you want your family back you can't kill us and if you kill us you will probably put Cole Turner into a down spiral and him ending up letting some demon kill him and then where will you be? Without his alternate side you wont be able to stay alive." Pierce shot out quickly before he took another step closer.

"What do I have to do to get my wife back then?" He asked as two guys shimmered into the room.

"Give us candles." Pierce answered as she saw Chris and Leo's alternate evil selves.

He eyed them curiously and turned to point to large cabinet. Without hesitating Pierce strided to the cabinet opened it and pulled out five black candles and a box of matches. She guided the sisters to a room off to their right that was completely empty except for a large black book they knew was probably their families book of shadows. She placed the candles down on the ground in a circle and lit all of them. The girls, all focusing on Prue chanted:

"Hear these words, hear my cry Spirit from the other side Come to me, I summon the Cross now the great divide"

The candles flicked out and a gust of wind swept over the girls. Pierce turned to see Prue standing in the circle. She smiled at them and stepped out of the circle becoming whole and not a see through ghost. Pierce sighed with relief when she saw that Prue knew it was them.

"The odds where against you without me weren't they?" Prue said looking from one girl to the next. "You know that this means that Samara will return to them. But on the bright side, 5 against 5 are better odds considering that they are immune to Piper but two out of the five of us are immune to everything. Only one out of the five of them are immune to everything."

"Which one?" Piper asked.

"Samara." Pierce asnwered. "But wouldn't Sibyl be immune too?"

"No, the elders gave you that power, you weren't born with it. Like Phoebe's karate, she learned that all on her own so Sicily doesn't know it. Pipers blowing up of things would be the same case but unfortunately its not, Sapphire learned to blow things up too." Prue answered.

"We don't have time to waste. We have to go now, to the house. How can we beat them?" Pierce asked.

"Paige, can you call to great distances?" Prue looked at Paige who nodded. "Call to the vanquishing potion, focus on that one in particular."

Paige held her hand out and closed her eyes then called to the potion. It shimmered into her hand instead of orbing but it didn't matter. She held it out with a triumphant smile.

"Now what?" Piper asked. "We only have one."

"One will be enough. You can vanquish Samara with it and Piper and Pierce can blow up the rest of them. Paige and Phoebe you two have to be keeping them occupied at least so they don't all attack Piper or Pierce." Prue answered.

After agreeing on a plan the five girls shimmered into their own attic. The other five where standing in potion ready for the sisters. They must have been aware of Prue being summoned and the vanquishing potion being called as well.

"Oh crap!" Pierce yelled dodging an energy ball shot at her by Cole. "You moron! Don't you dare shoot crap like that at me in invincible damnit!"

"Pierce focus!" Piper yelled as the five sisters advanced.

Prue was already on Samara, she kicked her in the face and moved momentarily to slam the vanquishing potion to the ground. The bottle smashing on the ground and smoke rising to envelope the evil Prue. An amazing thing happened then. Samara's body crumpled to the ground while Prue's spirit lifted out of it and went into her own body.

"Piper!" Pierce screamed to remind Piper to blow up Sapphire.

Piper threw up her hands and nothing happened to Sapphire again so Pierce shot an energy ball at her. Instead of it exploding her, it blew up Sapphires body moments after Pipers body lifted out of it. Sibyl made a jump at Pierce sending her to throw another energy ball at her, the same thing happened to Pierce as Sibyl's body exploded.

"Energy ball!" Paige screamed and the energy ball that Satin had been holding shimmered to her hand and she threw it at her.

Phoebe flew at Sicily kicking her in the face and yelling to Piper to vanquish her. Piper did so and exploded Sicily's body. Just as Paige's body was restored and Satin's exploded into a million pieces.

"How do you like them apples?" Pierce said turning to her sisters.

Piper let a huge grin slide across her face and the five sisters hugged in a circle. Prue smiled and after hugging all of the sisters individually she disappeared in a rush of white light. The four sisters turned to look at each other.

"Looks like you don't need us anymore." Leo said with a smile.

"We still need you," Pierce said hugging Chris. "To do the laundry."
