Together Forever As One
Chapter 13: Shake Me Silly
Blackness surrounded and filled a deep, dark cave. It had been there, magically sealed, for so many years now. Nothing could be seen and the only sounds of slowly dripping water and heavy breathing. Suddenly 2 red lights flashed in the center of the blackness and then the walls of the cave began to shake. They rocked back and forth, picking up more speed with every second. Then the loud clatter of rocks hitting the ground and smashing into a million pieces filled the room as it shook harder and harder.
Prue's eyes burst open and she gripped the shaking dresser on her bed. 'Earthquake!' She thought, in terror. California was known to have sudden and sometimes deadly earthquakes. This one seemed extremely powerful; Prue could feel the Halliwell Manor shaking, as if it were about to be torn off the ground. The sound of glass falling to the ground and shattering filled her ears. Prue placed her hand over her stomach. 'It will be okay, it will be okay!' Prue thought, as terror shot through her body. She already had a small bulge on her stomach and tried to think about her and Andy's unborn child, one of the greatest gifts in the world. Suddenly she was a dresser flying at her. She squinted her eyes and telekinetically sent the dresser in a reverse motion, back to the other side of the room. She gripped the edge of her dresser even tighter. 'Oh no! The girls! My sisters!' Prue thought, with another sudden shot of panic. "Piper, Phoebe, Paige!" Prue screamed. She quickly leapt from her bed and ran into her closet, shutting the closet door behind her. She could feel the ground shaking under her, while the objects in her closet shook and fell to the floor. She closed her eyes. 'I am sure I do not having anything that could hurt me very much in her.' Prue thought. She took a deep breath and then her body went limp.
There was a red flare, then Astral Prue appeared in Piper's room. She found Piper and Phiona huddling in the corner of the room. A few objects in the room were frozen in mid air, since the air wasn't exactly shaking, the objects weren't being knocked out of Piper's freeze. "Piper! Phiona!" She called.
Piper looked up, fear was evident in her eyes. "Prue! But how....I...I just heard you yell for me?!" Piper asked, in a shaky tone. She motioned towards the corner. "Hurry! Take cover!" She screamed.
Astral Prue waved her hands. "Piper! I'm in my closet, this is my astral form!" She stated. She rushed to Piper's side. "Where is Leo?" She asked, as she tried to shield her sister and niece from any objects.
"I....I don't know. He went off to help a charge late last night and hasn't been back since..." Piper said, her voice breaking.
Astral Prue hugged Piper tightly. "I'll be right back! I'm going to go check on Phoebe, Paige, Glenn, Pearl, and Pam!" Astral Prue whispered. She gave Phiona a tight hug. "I'll be right back, sweetie." She said. Then in another ruby red flare, Astral Prue vanished.
There was yet another ruby red flare and Astral Prue appeared in Paige's room. She didn't see anyone. "Paige?!" She yelled. She waited for a moment, but recieved no answer. She scanned the room and spotted the closet. She ran to the closet and pulled the door open to find Paige, Pearl, and Glenn huddled in the closet.
Paige looked up. "Prue! But..." Paige's voice trailed off. 'Astral?' She thought.
Prue instantly read her baby sister's mind, due to her daughter's telepathy, that was conducted through her since she is pregnant. "Yes, I'm in my astral form!" She replied, as she stepped into the closet. She quickly shut the door and heard Pearl crying. She touched her niece's shoulder. "Pearl, it'll be okay, it's just an earthquake." Astral Prue tried to comfort.
Pearl wiped tears from her face. "But Auntie Prue...I'm so scared!" She sobbed, as she threw her arms around her eldest aunt's astral form.
"But you're also very strong, you can get through this! And help your cousins too also!" Astral Prue replied, as she hugged Pearl tightly.
"Prue, have you seen Piper or Phoebe?" Paige asked.
"Piper. I haven't checked on Phoebe. Why didn't you orb to them?" Astral Prue asked.
"I was afraid that I might orb in and something would fly at me from behind." Paige replied.
'She is right.' Astral Prue thought. "Well, since I won't get physically hurt if something hits me in my astral form, I'll go. Stay safe!" She said. She gently pulled herself away from Pearl and then disappeared, in a ruby red flare.
Astral Prue appeared in Phoebe's room, in the same ruby red flare. "Phoebe?!" She yelled. She gasped when she saw Phoebe and Cole lying unconscious on the floor; large red marks on their bodies. 'They must have gotten hit by flying furniture!' She thought, in realization. She ran over to Phoebe's side and bent down. "Phoebe! Pheebs, get up!" Astral Prue pleaded. She gently shook Phoebe, but she wasn't waking up. 'I need Leo!' She thought, as she looked upwards. Suddenly a large mirror came flying at her and unconscious Phoebe. Prue flung herself in front of Phoebe and held out her hands, in a protective motion. 'I know that I will not be able to use my telekinesis in my astral form, but I have to try and protect her!' She thought. But to Prue's surprise, the mirror reversed and went crashing into the wall. "What?!" She gasped, in surprise as she looked at her hands. She looked around the room as it rattled and shook violently. She squinted her eyes at a book on the floor and it telekinetically went flying at the wall. 'Oh my God, my powers have just grown, while I was in a state of panic!' Prue thought. She shook her head. 'Phoebe!' She remembered and tried to shake Phoebe again; it failed to wake her. "Leo! Leo!" Astral Prue screamed. "Paige! Leo!" She yelled, frantically.
Paige looked at Glenn and Pearl. "I hear Prue, it sounds like she may be in Phoebe's room!" Paige said.
"What if Auntie Phoebe is hurt?!" Pearl gasped.
Paige's eyes widened. "Oh God, what if she is?! Prue sounds frantic!" Paige gasped.
"I hear her too!" Glenn said, as her motioned towards the wall. "Go, Paige, go!" He said.
Paige nodded and orbed out.
Glenn wrapped his arms around Pearl and pulled her close to him. "Mommy will be back soon, I'm sure everything will be just fine!" Glenn whispered, to his daughter.
Pearl just nodded and clung tightly to her father.
Paige orbed in, next to Astral Prue. "Prue! What's wrong?! Is Ph...." Paige's voice trailed off as she saw her older sister lying on the floor, unconscious. "Oh God!" Paige gasped, as she knelt down next to Phoebe. "Leo! Leo!" She screamed. Paige saw a desk sliding at them. She quickly grabbed Phoebe's unconscious hand and orbed them out.
Astral Prue saw the desk and then spotted Cole, he was also in the desk's path. She quickly waved her hand, telekinetically pushing Cole out of the way, then faded away in a ruby red flare.
Prue's eyes flashed open and she waved her hand, telekinetically throwing open her bedroom closet. She saw Paige on the floor with Phoebe. "Leo!" Prue screamed, as she scrambled over to her younger sisters.
Suddenly there was a swirl of blue and white orbs, then Leo appeared. "Phoebe!" He gasped, as he ran to his sister-in-laws' sides. He knelt down next to Phoebe and placed his hands over her head; a golden glow appeared from his hands and instantly healed Phoebe.
Phoebe's eyes burst open. "Cole! Pam!" She yelled. She saw Prue, Paige, and Leo. "Wh..wh...Leo?! Prue, Paige?!" Phoebe stammered.
"Prue, look out!" Leo yelled, as he spotted a picture flying at Prue.
Paige grabbed Prue's hand and orbed them out, just as the picture flew past where Prue had been sitting.
With one more mighty shake, the flames filled the pitch black cave, then vanished. A huge figure stood in the center of the cave. "I'm free and now they'll all pay!" He roared. He waved his hand and a red light flashed through the cave, then everything faded back into black....
Paige orbed herself and Prue back in, but when they appeared, the earthquake was over. "Where's Phoebe and Leo?" Paige asked, as she looked around, bewildered.
Prue covered her mouth. "Paige, look at the room! It looks like it hasn't been used in years!" Prue gasped. She motioned around her room. Even though the earthquake had done some pretty major damage to her room, it had not looked like this before.
Paige pointed to the broken window. "Look, it's not night anymore, it's....it's day!" Paige gasped. But the sky was a hazey brownish color and a sick, rancid smell permeated the room. Paige covered her mouth and nose. "What the hell is going on?!" She asked.
Prue shook her head, covering her mouth and nose as well. "I don't know....But somehow I don't think we're in 'our' world." Prue said, with a look of dread on her face. TO BE CONTINUED....
