As I have got my favourite reviewers back, I shall continue with this story.
Chapter 9
Previously on Separated Halliwell. Richard returned to the group with information on Piper, only for him to morph into Mandark- the mangles ruler who have kidnapped Piper and get ready to kill her. Paige and Phoebe come across Richard and his brother's dead bodies. The girls return home as Leo is trapped in some powerful goo, and if trying to move or orb he will get a nasty shock.
The sister's mother comes to help them out, and has a plan on how to reach Piper in Qwad- the mangles world. With a plan up and running, the three woman orb back to Richard's place as Patty keeps 5 mangles occupied out side. Paige and Phoebe battle their way against loads of mangle demons. As Mandark is knocked unconscious, Phoebe throws a potion and the goo, and Paige some dust until the girls say a spell to free Leo.
Hurt, Leo- with the help from Paige heals him self, while Phoebe kicks a mangle that is attacking her mother. While the four other mangle demons remain frozen, the attacking mangle escapes through a portal back to their world. With Leo back with the group, he and Patty go off to break down the force field so the girls can enter 'Qwad' with their powers.
Paige and Phoebe then orb the remaining four mangle demons to the manor, where when the force field is down, will make some strong gas appear with a potion provided by their mother, forcing the mangles to open up a force field giving Phoebe and Paige the time to enter to and kick some demon arse!
March 23rd 2005. 7:52pm. Day: 3. One day before Piper's execution
Phoebe is in the kitchen in her teddy bear pj's. She looks frustrated as she flips through and old worn out text book. On the front cover reads 'Demons, demons, demons' She flips through another page slamming it against the previous pages. Paige walks in with her hair tied up in a bun, and wearing her red with white spotted pj's. She holds a blue mug in her hands which did have some nice hot tea.
She looks at Phoebe pacing around the kitchen table scrying the book with her eyes. "Any luck sweety?" asks Paige, "No it's like these mangle demons have never existed. There has to be some good information on them" says Phoebe flipping another page. "I know but we pretty much know enough anyway" says Paige placing the mug in the sink, and turning around to face Phoebe. With her arms she spreads them out behind her, as she leans on the side.
"As soon as mum and Leo are done with their business, we can save Piper and this whole thing will finally be over" smiles Paige trying to lighten the mood in the manor. Ever since Piper was kidnapped, it was so damp and gloomy. Not a very good atmosphere at all to live in. But the way Paige spoke was unsure, for all she knows Piper could already be dead. But it's something that she dare not think about, as Phoebe continues to pace around the table.
"Mangles okay?" asks Phoebe still eyeing the book up and down, and then sighing with frustration and frowning as she turns another page. Paige rises her eyebrows a little confused, why would Phoebe want to know that? Oh well, I guess she has to answer. "Yea nice and cosy" smirks Paige. Cosy they were, all piled on top of each other with six powerful crystals guarding them. "Shouldn't you keep watch?" asks Phoebe turning another page, nearly reaching the end of the book.
"Mandark might know our plan and get them out of there" says Phoebe, Paige watches Phoebe pace some more seconds and stands up straight. "Not so much, because I've set this spell on it that only pure of heart can take away the crystals" smirks Paige happy with her self. "Nice one" says Phoebe closing the book annoyed, and slamming it on the table.
This makes Paige jump slightly, as Phoebe moves her hands through her hair. "Damn!" shouts Phoebe pulling out a chair and falling onto it. "Aw honey" says Paige approaching her sister as she slaps her head on the table. Paige cringes thinking that must of hurt, and places her hand gently on her shoulder. "We know enough about them, so stop worrying alright. Everything is going to be alright" smiles Paige. Phoebe looks up at her sister and puts on a smile, "I hope your right Paige. I hope your right" she repeats putting her head back on the table. "I wonder how long it's taking Leo and mum?" asks Paige to her self. Phoebe then looks up as if something has dawned on her, "Speaking of...where is mum going to find a way to unlock the force field?" asks Phoebe.
In a very long black walled tunnel, Leo and Patty orb in. The floor is also paved with black dusty flooring, while the roof is full of mud and twigs sticking out. Small lights are paved into the walls and flooring to light there way. Patty and Leo look around them and smile, "Ok where does this exactly lead?" asks Leo, Patty looks at him and smiles. "Well it's going to be a long journey, but we should reach a room with this ancient warrior" replies Patty slowly stepping forward followed by Leo.
He looks confused slightly, "Why him?" he asks, "Because he was hired by Mandark to create the spell. But he was banished here to keep chanting the spell" says Patty, "Alright and I suppose he wont quit chanting without a battle?" asks Leo, "Exactly" replies Patty reaching further down the tunnel. They turn to their left and notice that there are two long crossed swords on the wall. Patty takes both them off and hands one to Leo, "I can't handle these" says Leo worried. "You worked in Valhalla you should know how to work um" says Patty.
"Guess so" says Leo when they hear a loud pitched ghastly scream coming from down the tunnel. The two then enter a large room, but the floor is full of sand and the walls are thick brick with a large outlined door across the room. "What's this?" asks Leo, "I forgot to mention...to get to the warrior we have to battle our way there" says Patty biting her lip. "Against what?" asks Leo. Right after Leo's sentence, the middle of the sand is sucked in where a large whole is left. Leo looks worried when suddenly a sand tornado shoots up and a face appears from it.
"What in the world?" asks Leo shocked, "This is 'Sandkurt' a strong sand demon" says Patty. "How nice" says Leo raising his eye brows sarcastically. Patty then raises her sword in front of her ready for battle, as the tornado turns into a sand demon. Its face is like a reptile and its body a snake. Leo watches as Patty raises her sword and looks at her surprised and scared. "You don't expect us to fight this thing do you?" he asks backing away when suddenly a large rock door blocks his way. "Don't bother orbing either" says Patty as the hole in the middle closes up, and a sword appears in the demons hand.
"Ok so fighting is an option" he says with raised eye brows. Suddenly looking brave he faces the demon, "Lets get it on!" he shouts. Patty and Leo lunge forward with their swords beginning the battle.
8:10pm
Back at the manor, a loud smash is heard from up stairs. Paige and Phoebe look up knowing it must be coming from the attic. "Trying to break them free" says Paige, Phoebe quickly stands up next to Paige, when three mangle demons smash through the kitchen window. Paige pulls back Phoebe as they run backwards, until getting stopped by the large counter.
Five more mangle demons come charging through from the back door, and two come smashing through the window above the sink. Phoebe and Paige quickly backtrack towards the dining room, as the mangles walk towards them with swords equipped. The pair look scared and worried, as they hear another loud smash coming from up stairs. Paige looks up and then at the mangles, suddenly the conservatory are smashed as a bunch of mangle demons come through.
"Oh god!" shouts Phoebe looking in all directions, "What do we do?" she asks. "Go to the attic!" shouts Paige, "I got these guys" shouts Paige, "But how can you..." "Trust me!" she shouts and Phoebe nods her head quickly running up the stairs to the attic. A mangle demon comes running down the stairs towards Phoebe, as she quickly pushes him on the head forcefully, throwing him over the banister and falling to the table below, breaking it in half.
She continues running as Paige slowly walks backwards with all the mangle demons in sight. "You want me?" she asks, and they nod their heads with their swords in front of them. "Bad idea" she says eyeing the swords. "Swords!" yells Paige raising her hands in front of her. The swords orb out of their hands, as they look around confused. The orbs travel towards her hands, as she then waves them at the mangle demons. They looks scared knowing what is to come, and quickly turning around to run.
The swords stick firmly in their backs, as they fall to the ground screaming with pain. Bursting into flames leaving scorch marks as a souvenir. Paige smiles to her self, "Will they ever learn?" she asks when suddenly the mangle demon that Phoebe threw over the banister, gets up and strikes his sword through Paige's back. Gasping with pain, it sticks through her stomach as blood slowly seeps down. He pulls it out of her, and grabs her by the throat. She looks at him with anger as tears form in her eyes. He then throws her side wards and she slams hard into the manor doors, shattering the glass and falls to the floor spread out lifeless.
Phoebe comes running down the stairs, "I sorted it out!" she shouts noticing the mangle demon, and Paige near the manor door. She also notices the wound on her back with blood everywhere, and fills with anger quickly looking at the mangle demon. He twirls the sword around with Paige's blood on the top of the sword, and grins evilly at Phoebe.
"How dare you!" she screams levitating into the air and kicking the mangle in the face. As he falls to the floor, Phoebe grabs his sword and plumages it hard into his throat and twists it around, as he screams with pain. "This is for my sister" she says through gritted teeth. The mangle demon bursts into flames, as Phoebe turns around to face her injured sister. "Oh god Paige" she says nearly crying.
Behind the door she notices Daryl show up, as he also notices Phoebe. "Why the hell would you leave the kids with us? Like we don't have enough trouble as it is!" shouts Darryl. Phoebe ignores him and approaches her sister slowly, as Darryl pokes his head through the door trying to mind the glass, and looks at Paige's body on the fall. "Call the ambulance" says Phoebe calm but full of tears and emotion. Without another word, Darryl pulls out his cell phone and punches in the numbers.
Phoebe quickly kneels down beside her sister and strokes her sister's face gently. Paige looks up at her and weakly smiles at her, "I'm here babe" smiles Phoebe. "I'm sorry...I thought I could stop them" says Paige in pain. Phoebe laughs slightly as tears form in her eyes, trying her best to stay strong for her younger sister. Darryl looks at the girls after finishing on his cell. "They're on their way" says Darryl. "Give my love to Piper" grunts Paige.
"You can tell her your self" smiles Phoebe, letting out a short gasp as she begins to cry. "I love you" says Paige smiling. "I love you to" replies Phoebe, as Paige's face loses emotion but her eyes remain open. "Paige?" asks Phoebe scared and upset, "Paige?" she repeats her self. Darryl closes his eyes knowing the worse has happened. Phoebe starts to breath heavily as tears stream down her eyes like a waterfall. "Paige!!!!!!!!!" screams Phoebe crying.
