Saving A Sister
Chapter 24
Piper waved her hands over Cole and said, "there that should stop the bleeding, at least for a few minutes, maybe we can still save both of them." "At least it worked when the Source stabbed him before." " Now let's go get Dad and Phoebe." They joined hands and the three of them orbed into Phoebe and Cole's room.
They landed next to Victor, who was frozen in the same type of ice block Leo had been. "I'm really getting sick of that trick," Prue commented. "That makes two of us," Leo added. "Concentrate on the enemy," Piper warned. "We've got three of them. They're too busy fighting with each other right now to notice us but it probably won't take them long before they do."
"As much as I would like to take out Roger, you better do the honors," Prue said. "I'll try and tackle Anton. He's a pretty strong warlock and hopefully my new goddesses powers will be able to defeat him for good this time." Piper looked puzzled. "Goddess' powers?" she asked. Then she held up her hands, "Forget I asked, the creeps have finally got a clue that we're here, so let's go to work."
"So super bitch is back, come to save her little sister, I bet. Good luck sweet cheeks," Roger jeered at Prue. Prue threw something at him that look liked a miniature lightening bolt. Piper shook her head and said, "that's definitely new, and then added, "I thought I am supposed to be handling Roger." Prue smiled. "Yeah it is and yeah you are, I just couldn't resist knocking him on his ass at least once." "Leo you distract Sam," she whispered."
She might not have time to take it all in at the moment but Piper was really glad Prue was back and in charge. Piper knew she had done the best she could but Prue was the born leader. "Hey Warlock, want to fight?" Prue challenged Anton. "Or is taking on someone who is conscious too much of a challenge for you?" Yep, she was definitely back and definitely still Prue, Piper thought gratefully reassured.
"Don't let her goad you until you've finished your work," Sam warned Anton. "And don't tell me what to do," Anton hissed back. "As I was trying to inform you before we were so rudely interrupted, I don't work for you. Besides I can handle miss goody goody two shoes over there." "I will be back my precious princess," he whispered to the drugged Phoebe. "Please don't make her more ill than you already have, and don't make me barf," Piper shouted at him.
"Ready to tangle?" Prue asked Leo and Piper. They both nodded and all three of them launched into their assigned tasks. Piper closed her eyes, counted to ten, and then motioned towards Roger. To her delighted amazement he blew up and disappeared before her eyes. "Damn I'm one bad witch," she shouted.
Piper looked around the room. Prue and Anton were trading magical shock treatments and Leo and Sam were apparently playing a game of supernatural hide and seek because they both kept orbing in and out.
Piper saw an opportunity and took it. She got down on her hands and knees and started to crawl towards Phoebe. Amazingly she made it unscathed. It only took her a few seconds to unhook the IV from Phoebe. Piper may not be able to get the drugs already in Phoebe's system out, that would have to wait until they were able to help Leo with Sam, but at least she could prevent anymore from being dumped into Phoebe's bloodstream.
Anton who had just hit the floor from the force of one of Prue's bolts saw her. He started to throw one of his own little nasty power surges Piper's way. She was able to block it with a freeze and she rolled out of the way but not before she let out a little squeal.
Unfortunately the little squeal caught Prue and Leo's attention and distracted them. Leo orbed to her side and Prue rushed across to her. It was then that Sam froze all three of them in one big block.
Their bodies couldn't move but Piper, Prue, and Leo found they could communicate with each other inside of it. "Damn, Damn, Damn," Piper swore. "Now we're screwed." "Don't give up yet," Prue urged her sister. Hopefully Hercules will get back in time to help and besides I have an idea." "Hercules?" both Piper and Leo asked in amazed unison. "Yeah the original and one true Hercules, but again I don't have time to explain. I've got to see if this plan works. Prue's face became a mask of concentration and then suddenly her body went limp within the ice block.
"She astral projected but where too?" Piper asked. "I don't have any idea," Leo replied. "Damn I wish I could do that," Piper whispered. Suddenly she was separated from her body and landed in a very unusual place next to Prue. "Where the heck are we?" she asked Prue. "Hey you just got a new power, sis, congratulations and welcome to the astral projection club and we are in Phoebe's mind of course." "We are in Phoebe's mind," Piper echoed, not sure whether to be amazed or freaked out.
"Yeah," Prue replied. "We may not be able to get the drug out of her yet, but maybe we can still break through the haze. If we can hopefully we can come up with some power of three spells to free ourselves and finish off those cretins once and for all. Oh by the way nice job on Roger by the way." "Thanks, I'm pretty proud of that myself, now let's see if we can get through to Phoebe," Piper said to her eldest sister.
"Phoebe," they both called. Can you hear us? It's Piper and Prue. Suddenly an image of their sister appeared before them. She was shaking with tears and rage. "No you're imposters. You're lying to me. Piper and Prue abandoned me, just like everyone else did. Anton is promising to take care of me if I will just become his seer. I know I'll have to turn bad and I don't necessarily trust him either, but I don't care anymore. I'm so tired of being alone, sad, and in pain. I'm so tired of this emptiness I feel. I'm just going to do it. I'm just going to tell him what he wants to hear."
"No Phoebe, don't." "What you've been experiencing is not real. It's an hallucination induced by drugs," Prue said urgently. "She's right Phoebe," it happened to me too," Piper added. "And we didn't abandon you, we would never do that, and neither would Cole. He loves you too much to ever hurt you that way honey." Piper hoped her words were true. She knew Cole would never leave Phoebe willingly she just prayed he wouldn't or hadn't died on them already.
"Cole," Phoebe cried out. "He hurt me most of all." Piper shook her head. Phoebe obviously still wasn't free of the hallucination and they weren't getting through to her. Piper wasn't sure what could at this point and that scared the hell out of her.
