A/N: This chapter (and the next) are also pretty short, so I've decided to post both of them. I figure that 2 short chapters will equal 1 "OK" chapter. Please enjoy! And thanks to the great people who reviewed! Chrios: Well I guess you'll just have to read and find out. ;) Maybe she dies or maybe she'll be saved....

Together Forever As One
Chapter 29: Piperella

Phiona waved her hand, sending a blast of orbs out of her palm, at the demon; the orbs hit the demon and sent him crashing into the wall. She raced up the stairs after her cousins. They're probably in the attic! She thought.

"I can't believe you left her alone!" Pearl reproached, as she cuddled Pandora close to her.

"But me thought you needed me..." Pam said, as she began to get teary eyed.

"That's not the...." Pearl began, but stopped at Phiona rushed in. "Phiona!"

The demon shimmered in, between the cousins; Pearl, Pam, and Pandora on one side and Phiona on the other. "Well, well, well. The little Blessed Ones don't have their mothers and fathers here to protect them now, do they?" He cackled. "You should be easy pray for me!" He raised his hand and sent Phiona flying at the wall.

"Walls, I bless you, turn into cotton balls!" Pearl said, on the spur of the moment. A white glow surrounded the walls and then they turned into a walls of cotton balls.

Phiona hit the soft wall and slid to the floor.

Pam shimmered next to Phiona and took her hand, then shimmered them next to Pearl.

"I have a spell!" Pearl announced.

Pearl, Phiona, and Pam took hands while Pearl held Pandora.

"Evil demon burn in our sight, evil demon we take your life with our Blessed right!" Pearl yelled.

"Evil demon burn in our sight, evil demon we take your life with our Blessed right! Evil demon burn in our sight, evil demon we take your life with our Blessed right! Evil demon burn in our sight, evil demon we take your life with our Blessed right! Evil demon burn in our sight, evil demon we take your life with our Blessed right!" Pearl, Phiona, and Pandora chanted. Then the demon exploded in a blast of flames. The 3 girls exchanged looks.

"Well....Now that the demon is taken care of, how will we reverse the cotton ball wall spell?" Phiona asked, as she brushed her hands together.

Piper opened her eyes to a harsh slap across the face. She immediately moved her hand to her face, feeling her cheek sting.

"What do you think you are doing?!" An old, harsh voice roared.

Piper looked into the eyes of an old, angry looking woman. "Who the hell are you?!" Piper asked, angrily.

The woman protectively tucked a large, black cat under her arm. She reached down and swiftly struck Piper across the face, again. "Don't you talk to me that way! Now you get out of this hay and finish your chores, there will be no dinner for you tonight!" She hissed. Then she spun around and walked away.

Piper looked around her. She was in a horse stable, sitting on a pile of hay. She was wearing a light blue, long sleeved shirt. Her hair was pulled back into a pony tail with a light blue bow. She had a long, dark brown dress over the blue shirt and a dirty, white apron was tied around her waist; there was a rip on the bottom, right corner of the apron. She had on black shoes, without heels. "Where am I?" Piper asked, out loud. She stood up and looked around the room. She spotted 2 little mice run into the stable.

"Cinderelly! Are you okay?" They asked, in their little high pitched voices.

Piper rubbed her eyes and looked again, the mice were still there. "Did you just say something?" She asked.

"Cinderlly? Are you alright?" The chubby mouse asked, as he stepped forward.

Cinderlly? Piper thought. She gasped. "You would happened to be called, 'Gus' and 'Jaq', would you?" She asked.

"Of couse! Cinderelly! What's wrong, why don't you remember us?" The skinny mouse asked, with worried look.

"Oh God, I'm living the, 'Cinderella' story!" Piper gasped.
