Part 4

Prue flicked through the BOS violently.

Her little sister... only sister, that wasn't dead or evil, was shaking in the chair.

Shock was the only explanation. She showed no acknowledgment of the world around her.
Of course not, she had just watched 2/3's of her family die.

Prue sighed; she knew what they had to decide what to do about Paige - and quick.

Taking a seat next to Piper, Prue took her sisters trembling hands.

"Pipe?"

No Response.

"Honey, I know you're listening. We need to decide what to do... about Paige."

Piper's sturdy exterior faltered.

"I can't decide this alone." Prue said honestly.

"I want to kill what's corrupting her." Piper said through gritted teeth.

Prue let out a breath of relief. Thank god she didn't want to kill Paige.

The eldest stroked Piper's hair. "First we need to find out what's doing this to her, possession of otherwise."

"The crystals." Piper blurted out.

Prue nodded. "That should buy us enough time."

"Good is so lame." Paige commented.

Prue and Piper's heads shot up. Paige stood in the attic. Ender held limply above the floor by some invisible force.

Piper seethed at that moment as she avoided looking at her dead son.

He was turning blue, cold to the touch no doubt.

His eyes still bulged, blood trickling from them like tears.

His mouth, ears and nostrils still blocked by the black solid.

Prue stood up, protectively blocking Piper.

"You know it's amazing how many ways you can mutilate a copse. You should really check out my work with the men downstairs. Its great to have the power to flay, remove, gauge... whatever floats your boat."

"Leave." Prue ordered.

Paige pouted, "awww, don't spoil my fun."

She raised her arms and Ender's body burst into flames.

Piper whimpered behind Prue, who's protective instinct was in full drive. Using her telekinesis, she threw the crystals around Paige.

Her baby sister was surrounded by an electrical force field.

The burnt body of her nephew fell to the floor, blackened and smouldering.

The stench of burned flesh caused the bile to rise in her throat.

Prue ran to the book, searching for some spell to stop the evil rampage of Paige.

Piper gave a death glare to the imprisoned sister and picked up their athame.

Standing a couple of meters away she considered many things but all came back to: Kill or not to Kill.

Neither Halliwell noticed as the electrical wall around Paige began to flow into her. She was sucking the power from the crystals. As they ran out she stumbled.

"You have got to try that! What a rush. But maybe a next life for you..." She grinned.
