Hey everybody! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in ages but I have been really busy! On Friday I was at my aunts wedding and this weekend I went to the virgin V festival (it was brilliant, on the Saturday the All American Rejects were there and they rock)!

Still, that's not an excuse so I'm really sorry and because I haven't been on the internet in ages I have to check out all my favourite authors to see if they've updated!

Anyway, read on and please enjoy!

Oh and I have to apologise (God, I'm making a habit of this) because Paige doesn't get rescued in this chapter. But wait; before you start cursing me (I'm talking about you Wendigo) I'm halfway there. And if you don't get that then please read the chapter.

Scene: The Source's Chambers

Kanos shimmered into the Source's chambers and stepped back from the sister's.

Kanos- "Have fun girlies." He winked and before Piper could blow him up or freeze him, he shimmered out.

Piper- "Great! Just great!"

Prue- "Piper, it's ok. Calm down." Prue felt both her younger sisters reach for her hands. She squeezed them tightly and could hear the fear in there voice's.

Piper- "Calm down? Calm down! I can be as un-calm as I damn well like! We're in the bloody underworld, the Source knows we're coming and, oh yeah...we have no idea were Paige is! So don't you try and tell me to calm down!" Prue raised her eyebrows at Piper.

Prue- "Finished?" Piper growled at Prue in answer and had a look around at the darkness.

Phoebe- "Um, Prue?" Prue turned and faced her second youngest sister.

Prue- "Yeah?"

Phoebe- "Do you think that demon kept his word?" Piper scoffed.

Piper- "Not likely." Prue ignored Piper.

Prue- "What do you mean Pheebs?"

Phoebe- "About taking us to the Source. Do you think the Source is here?"

Piper- "Uh, guys?" Prue ignored Piper again.

Prue- "Maybe, I don't know."

Piper- "Um, seriously. Guys?" Piper sounded panicked. Phoebe carried on, still ignoring Piper.

Phoebe- "Well, it's really dark. He, you know, could be in the shadows." Prue nodded slightly.

Prue- "We don't even know where we are. We might not be anywhere near the Source. That demon could of just dumped as here to get us out the way. All the stuff he said about 'not being loyal to the Source and wanting us to kill him'. Could have been to stop us from vanquishing him, long enough for him to get away."

Phoebe- "I guess..."

Piper- "Guys!" Piper sounded both scared and annoyed.

Prue and Phoebe- "What!" Piper pointed towards a dark corner of the 'room'. Prue and Phoebe squinted their eyes to get used to the dark. In the dark, a throne was just visible.

Phoebe- "Oh crap." Phoebe muttered under her breath.

Prue- "Looks like the demon did bring us to the Source." Prue said, as she tried to hold the fear from entering her voice.

Piper- "Then where the hell is he?" Piper sounded pissed.

The Source- "Here witches." Phoebe jumped about a foot in the air and all the sisters spun around to where they heard the deep booming voice. Prue stepped forward slightly, standing in front of her younger sisters.

Prue- "Show yourself!" Silence followed, as the sister's waited for the Source to respond.

The Source- "Very well." Suddenly the whole room was filled with light. Torches lit the room and the sisters had to squint to get used to the fiery lights. Piper swallowed slightly and looked the Source straight in the eye, or where she thought his eyes would be.

Piper- "Where is our sister?" Her voice oozed confidence, confidence that she didn't have. The Source turned his full attention to Piper; she shivered slightly, as his evil presence faced her directly.

The Source- "Piper, Piper, Piper. You always were one to rush things, weren't you? You rushed through things to try and hide your true emotions. Like Prue's funeral. Oh, I was there Piper. I was not the Source then, but I was there. I know what you were feeling that day. Your innermost thoughts, you mind was like an open book. I had plans then Piper, to be the Source. You made me evil. I was just a demon when Prue died. Just starting to learn about the charmed ones. But I had dreams Piper, to kill the charmed ones. To hurt you." Piper faltered slightly, her bravado slowly disappearing. The Source had such an ominous evil aura that it was difficult to remain positive.

Piper- "Why me in particular?" The Source sneered at her and Phoebe finally spoke up.

Phoebe- "Who were you? Why do you hate Piper?"

The Source- "Phoebe, I almost forget you joined us. I'm sure we could have a little talk about your sister. About what she thought about you," Phoebe frowned slightly.

Phoebe- "There is nothing you can say to me to turn me against my sister. Prue and I sorted out our problems, you can't hurt us." Prue nodded and squeezed Phoebe's hand again. The Source looked at Piper, and she felt her heart beat faster. What did the Source mean about 'her mind was like an open book'?

The Source- "Not Prue Phoebe." He looked at Piper again and she flinched under his gaze. "Piper."

Phoebe- "Piper." She said slowly. "What are you talking about?"

The Source- "On the day of Prue's funeral. Want to know how Piper really felt about you?" Phoebe didn't say a word. Piper was starting to understand what The Source was talking about.

Piper- "It's not true Pheebs. What he's going to say is not true." Prue finally spoke up.

Prue- "As much as we would love to chat, we want our sister back. Now where the hell is she!?" The Source clicked his fingers.

The Source- "Right here." The far rock wall of the Source's chamber started to turn, and the sisters could see a demon standing in front of Paige. The demon turned round, but still blocked Paige from her sisters.

Phoebe- "You!" Kanos smiled. "Then what was all that rubbish about 'not being loyal' to the Source?" Phoebe hoped that the Source hadn't told the demon to say that, and then he would be punished. That is...if Piper doesn't get to him first.

The Source- "Oh don't worry, I knew all about that. I can control my demons well enough to know what they're saying. They're much easier to handle that way."

Piper- "Let us see our sister." She growled at the Source, sounding menacing. The Source stared at Piper, and she did not look away. She didn't even flinch.

The Source- "Very well. Kanos, you heard the witch. Be gone." Kanos bowed and shimmered out. All three sisters gasped at the sight of Paige. They could see she was bleeding but they didn't know where from. She had a black eye and her wrist was bent at a funny angle. Her head was slumped onto her chest and they could see numerous bruises covering her arms and face. Prue was itching to go and heal her but she knew that if she orbed then the Source could hurt her sisters...or worse. Piper was fuming, how dare someone do that to Paige!?

Piper- "What in the hell happened!?"

The Source- "Oh, I think she was playing with a demon and they had a little fight. I'm sure she'll be fine...when she regains conciseness." He laughed and it filled the whole chamber and echoed off the walls.

Phoebe- "Let her go or-"

The Source- "Or what? I'm afraid that you're trapped. And there is nothing you can do about it." Piper looked at Prue and then Phoebe. They nodded at her. If the Source wants a fight then he can have it.
