A/N: Well, Whitewater13 is back to help assist me. He wrote this chapter. I hope you enjoy it!!
United Chapter 34!!
****Halliwell Manor-Phoebe And Cole's Bedroom**** "But they had shields! Both of them! How... how could this happen?" Piper said, reaching into Wyatt's crib and pulling out the powder blue blanket. She held it next to her cheek, nuzzling into the soft material
"We'll get them back, Piper," said Phoebe.
She sniffed, letting tears soak into the blanket. "We'd better do, Leo. That's all I'm saying..."
****Halliwell Manor-Attic**** "Powers of the witches rise, And course unseen across the skies Come to us I call you near, Come to us and settle here. Blood to blood I summon thee, Blood to blood return to me..." The attic was eerily quiet, they guys standing around the edge of a flickering circle of candles whilst the sisters continued their chant. They moved from one band-aided finger to the next, slicing each one neatly with an athame's steel point.
A truce had been called for now, or at least until the demons had been vanquished. There were lots of issues that needed to be sorted, but they had been pushed aside. Now they were focusing on getting the two children back from the clutches of evil.
"Why isn't it working?" Piper asked, automatically turning to Leo for answers. "They're both half-witch, why isn't it working?"
"Maybe the call's not strong enough; maybe evil has already got to them... I don't know, Piper. I'm sorry..."said Leo, holding his head down.
"They're in the Underworld, right?" Cold said, speaking out for the first time in a while. "And who can work that place better than Belthazor?"
"I agree, we've gotta' go and get them," said Phoebe.
"It's too risky, you don't know what's down there," Andy said, shaking his head.
"Andy, we died before we could have kids," Prue told him. "Neither of us knows what it's like so if Phoebe and Piper feel so strongly about this then I am backing them up all the way.
"I offer guidance, but you don't have to listen to me," he said, spreading his arms. "Whatever you go with is your choice."
"Thanks Andy. Let's do this thing," said Prue.
Paige turned to her fiancée. "Glenn, you stay here,"
"What? Paige..." protested Glenn.
"No, you stay here. Someone's gotta be here if anyone tries to contact us..."
"And it might as well be the mortal, right?"
"Sorry, honey..." She stepped towards the rest of her family and blew him a kiss. He gave a small smile and waved, watching the rest of the group orb and shimmer away. He settled down on the couch to wait, chewing on his thumbnail.
****Underworld**** "Where are we?" They had appeared in a long tunnel, stretching for what seemed like an eternity before them and behind them. Cole and Brian smiled, in their element.
"This way."
"Wait, you know where we are?"
"Yeah, this is kind of a throne room... Or a throne room antechamber... The throne room should be down here... This way..." Prue just shrugged and was the first to follow them, the others in a group behind her.
Suddenly they came to a halt, seeing Brian and Cole with their backs pressed against the stone either side of an archway.
"DOWN, DOWN! Everyone get DOWN!" Brian yelled, whipping his arm around the corner to throw an energy ball. In response, a fireball whizzed out of the doorway, striking Paige in the shoulder. She hit the floor.
"We'll see about *that*," Piper said, raising her arms and flicking her hands.
"Piper, no!" Cole yelled, stretching out his hand towards his sister-in- law.
"What? Wh-?" An invisible force hit her in the chest and knocked her off of her feet, slamming her into a rock.
"Piper!" Leo yelled, running to heal her. "The throne room's protected from good magic," Cole explained, vanquishing a demon with an energy ball. "It rebounded and hit her."
Paige sat up, clutching her shoulder. "Prue? A little help here?" Her sister knelt down next to her and began healing the burn.
"So we can't get in there?" Leo asked, concentrating hard on his wife.
"We could if we shimmered, but only demons can pass through the door. We could take you all in there, but I think we've got a much better position here..." A wickedly curved ax flew towards them, the blade making the air sing and it sliced a path towards them. It sunk into the hard stone as if it were no more than butter and stuck there, quivering.
"Oh My God!" Phoebe yelled, sidestepping away from the blade that was embedded an inch from her face.
"Stay down," Cole said. "I don't want anything to happen to you." Phoebe put her foot on the wall and tugged at the weapon, stumbling backwards when it came loose. She drew back her arm, bunched her muscles and threw it. It sliced a demon's had clean of before skittering across the floor and coming to rest.
"Ok, now I'm getting down," The group ducked behind an outcrop of rock, watching the two half-demons try to kill every single enemy in the room beyond.
"Wait..." Leo said, a frown crossing his features. "The kids aren't in there."
"Well we can see that, Leo..."
"So why are we fighting then? The kids are somewhere else, and we're being distracted by killing demons." said Leo
"You're right..." Phoebe stood up suddenly. "Cole, Brian! The kids aren't in there!"
"PHOEBE!" Cole yelled. Phoebe turned to see an athame cartwheeling through the air, about to embed its double-bladed edge into her chest.
****Halliwell Manor-Attic**** Glenn finished blowing out the last of the candles, and the attic was plunged into darkness. He crossed to the light switch and flicked it on. The room was flooded with bright light. He started pacing behind the couch, every so often glancing at the Book of Shadows.
"Ok, so..." He went over to the book, creaking open the ancient sepia cover. He flicked past the yellowing pages, flipping through the many spells and demonology in there. "Uh..." He wasn't sure what he was looking for, but something to help out his friend - *family* he corrected himself – would definitely be good.
"So what have we got here...?" He said to no one, nervously licking his lips. "Come on, there's gotta be something, anything..." Suddenly the pages started whirring of their own accord, flying past too past to see. "Whoa!" He stepped back. He looked at the page that was now open.
'Behind you,' He frowned.
"What-?" Cold metal was pushed against his throat, resting uncomfortable on his Adam's apple. He felt blood trickling down his neck and into his shirt and the metal bit further.
"Move, mortal..." The voice sneered, almost inviting him to. "And you'll die."
"What are you going to do?" Glenn asked, feeling a fresh rivulet of blood wind its way down his neck as he swallowed and the blade dug deeper.
"Use you..." The demon said, tightening his grip on Glenn's arm. "And kill you... If you're lucky I'll make it quick,"
"You're after the sisters, aren't you?" asked Glenn.
"So what if I am?" asked the demon.
"It makes a difference to me," Glenn said, his elbow connecting hard with the demon's gut. The demon doubled over, still clutching the knife. Glenn turned and ran towards the door. The demon threw the dagger and it hit the fleeing mortal in the shoulder. Glenn screamed in pain and hit the wooden floor hard.
"Don't cross me," The demon growled, drawing in deep gasps of air. "You just earned yourself a slow death..." He grabbed Glenn by the throat and shimmered away.
Author's Note: Ok, well here's chapter 34. Whitewater13 did a great job with this chapter! Sadly, this story is coming to a close soon!
