Ok, I don't know about you people, but I am sick of Barbas coming back. When you vanquish a demon, I understand bringing him back once. Even a third time is fine. But the producers have a problem when they keep bringing him back. Are they running out of ideas or are they that stupid? Anyways, here is the last chapter of Barbas. No really. I mean it. No more Barbas. Yay! Let's start the chapter.
Barbas Returns...Again
"Can you defeat them?" the Source asked.
"I have faced these witches three times, and they still haven't managed to kill me," Barbas said with a smile.
"You have also failed to kill them three times," the Source stated.
"I will kill them this time! Give me the chance, and I'll turn their worst fears into nightmares."
"I don't want you to kill them. I just want you to bring Patience to our side."
"Patience? Who is this Patience?" Barbas asked.
"She is the daughter of Phoebe Halliwell and Belthazor. She has come from the future to change it," Ora said as she walked towards Barbas.
"I can get her," he said.
"Be careful. She is very powerful," the Source warned.
"I can use that power against her. Leave her to me." Barbas bowed and disappeared.
"Do you think that he can do it?" the Source asked as Vicious walked in.
"He is very powerful. Patience has started to open up to her feelings. Then again, he probably has as much of a chance as the others," he said with a smile.
At P3, Piper started to clean up. It was about two in the morning and the club was just relieved of a huge crowd. She noticed Paige sitting at the counter, looking really miserable. She walked over and smiled. "Hey, Paige. Are you ok? You don't look good."
"I'm fine. I was just waiting for Richard. He was suppose to show up."
"It also doesn't help that you've been working on potions night and day. It's almost closing time."
"I know. He probably got hung up at the office. Do you need help cleaning up?"
"Nah, I'm good. You should probably go home and get some rest. See ya." Paige went upstairs and waved.
As she got into her car, Barbas appeared behind another car. He waved his hand and the headlights on Paige's car went out. She brushed it off and started moving. When she got on the street, Barbas appeared in front of her. She swerved and managed to avoid him. Unfortunately, she ended up hitting a pole and blacking out. Barbas smiled and disappeared.
Opening Credits
Piper sat in the hospital holding Paige's hand. Leo orbed in and kissed his wife. "How is she?" he asked.
"She hasn't wakened up yet," Piper answered. Her eyes were bloodshot and full of tears.
"Let me heal her quick." He put a hand over Paige's unconscious body, but Piper grabbed it back.
"No, a doctor might come in. We have to wait." Just as she said this, a doctor opened the door and walked in.
"How are we doing?" the doctor asked.
"Horrible," Piper whispered.
"Is she going to be alright?" Leo asked.
"Well, she had a mild concussion. Other than that, she should be fine." As he said this, Paige woke up. "See, what did I tell you? How are you feeling, Paige?"
"Like I just got a stake driven through my head." The doctor put his hand on her forehead. "What happened?"
"You hit a pole and had a concussion. You should be alright," the doctor said. "I think you could even leave tonight if you wanted."
"Thanks, doctor," Leo said as he shook the doctor's hand. The doctor left. When he closed the door, he looked around to make sure there was no one there. He then transformed into Barbas and disappeared.
"What really happened?" Piper asked.
"Well, while I was driving, a man just popped up in front of me. I swerved and hit the pole and blacked out. That's all I remember."
"Do you know who he was?" Leo asked.
"He looked familiar, but I couldn't tell."
"I better heal you."
"That's ok. It was an accident, not a demon. Thanks anyways."
"Ok, I guess I'll see you at home." He orbed out.
"Where's Phoebe?" Paige asked.
"She's not answering her phone right now. Please leave a message after the beep. Let's go home and see if we can find her." They both got up and went home.
At home, Phoebe and Cole were sword fighting. Phoebe blocked Cole and tried to stab him, but he counterattacked and stabbed her in the stomach. Phoebe gasped and dropped her sword. As Cole withdrew the sword, the wound healed itself.
"Ow! Do you have to do it so hard?" she asked.
"I shouldn't be able to get you at all. You're lucky we're using healing swords."
"Thanks to my little spell. Is this how you trained Patience?"
"No, we used real swords." Phoebe put her hands on her hips in disgust. "What? She dodged it. She's still alive. Let's try dodging energy balls."
"Then I'll try kicking yours." He started throwing energy balls at her. She dodged each one. One went astray and almost hit Piper while she was coming downstairs. She froze it and Cole before it hit her. "Sorry."
"Phoebe, where were you? Paige got in and accident!"
"What? Why didn't you call me?"
"Because you were too busy fighting with Cole."
"Well, is she alright?"
"Yeah, she's fine. She just needs some rest. Let's go upstairs." Piper starts walking up but Phoebe stops her.
"Could you…" She points to Cole. Piper waves her hand and Cole unfreezes. The energy ball hits the door and turns it black.
"I guess we need to paint the door again." Piper walks up the stairs and closes it. Phoebe kisses Cole and smiles.
"I'm going to go check on Patience. Bye." He shimmers out.
Upstairs, Paige tosses in her bed. Barbas appears and smiles. "Your worst fear is someone hurting you and your sisters not believing you."
In her dream, she's being chased by something. She runs into Patience who hits her with an energy ball. Paige falls at the feet at the Source. The Source laughs, "Patience has finally come to our side. You will be her first victim." Patience laughs and throws another energy ball at her. She wakes up. She's sweating and gasping for breath. What was that? She thinks. Piper and Phoebe walk in?
"What's wrong?" Piper asks.
"I think Patience has joined with the Source," Paige answers.
"What? Are you crazy?" Phoebe asks.
"No, she tried to kill me!" Paige yells.
"I think you need to get some rest, Paige. Try to sleep." Piper says.
"Ok."
The next morning, she is sitting in her desk at work. Kevin comes in and looks at her. "Penny for your thoughts?" Paige looks up. "You don't look too well, Paige. Are you sure you should be here?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Can I ask you something? Last night, I had a dream that Patience went to the dark side. Should I be worried?"
"You have so much on your plate right now. You just need to eat it slowly."
"English?"
Kevin sighs. "Your dream is probably just a great fear. I'm sure everything is fine. Don't worry about it. Patience seems like the girl with a good head on her shoulders."
Patience is waiting in a restaurant. She looks very anxious. "What should I say to him? Should I tell him that I like him? No, he probably has a girlfriend already. He's just being nice to me because I saved his life in the school." But what if he does like me? Suddenly, Vic comes up right behind her.
"Hello, Patience." He hugs her. Is that good or bad? Most couples kiss, not hug. He hands her flowers. "I hope you like them." Great, he handed me flowers. Is he trying to confuse me? "Is there something wrong?"
"No, I'm great. Thanks. You cut your hair…and dyed it." He cut it like most guys do, short with a little gel so it would look a little spiky. Patience loved the fact the he changed his hair color from white to brown.
"Do you like it? The hairdresser said it was in. I don't really think it's too nice." Patience smiled.
"I love it. Can I ask you something? How old are you?" She couldn't believe she had just asked that. What kind of person asks how old are you?
"How old do I look?"
"You look like your about 22, but you could be younger." She thought she had blown her chances with him but he smiled and grabbed her hand.
"That's about right. I guess you were wondering because I'm a teacher. Now, it's my turn. How do you feel about me?" She couldn't believe he just asked that. She started to blush until her face was red.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I really like you. I think about you a lot and wish that I could be with you." What am I saying? Have I lost it?
"I feel the same." As he got up, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips. It wasn't a little peck. It was one of those first kisses that seem to last a lifetime. Patience loved the way he kissed her; so much that she embraced him. When they finally let go, Vic brushed her hair to the side. "I guess I'll see you later." He walked away as Patience waved absentmindedly. Then she felt something in her pocket. It was a note with an apartment address and time.
When Paige returned to the house, she found Patience standing in the living room. "How nice of you to come to me. It will save me a lot of trouble."
"What do you want?" Paige grabbed a fire poker and pointed it at her. "I will hurt you if I have to."
"No you won't. You can't hurt me." Patience threw an energy ball at Paige.
"Energy ball!" Paige threw it right back but missed. Patience was right behind her with a knife at her neck. "Patience, what is wrong with you?" Piper and Phoebe walk in and see what is happening. "Piper, freeze her." But before Piper can put her hands up, Patience is gone.
Later, Patience walks in practically dancing. She sees the sisters standing in the living room with rope and handcuffs. "Hey, guys. How was your day?"
"Shut up!" Paige snaps.
"I guess it didn't go to well. What's with the rope and handcuffs?"
"Rope!" The rope orbs around Patience's legs as she falls to the ground. The sisters jump on her and quickly handcuff her arms behind her back.
"What are you doing? Have you all lost it?" Patience yells.
"Maybe if you hadn't tried to kill Paige, we wouldn't have to do this," Piper says.
"What? Are you crazy?" Patience asks.
"We're sorry." Phoebe says.
In the basement, Patience tries to struggle free from the chair the sisters have tied her to. "Let me go! It's not like I'm going to kill you!" She yells as they close the door. "You can't keep down here forever. You need me to kill the Source."
"She's right. We can't keep her down there forever," Phoebe said.
"Why not?" Paige asked. "She's dangerous. She might try to kill you next."
"No, Patience wouldn't do that. She wants to help us," Piper said as she started towards the stairs. "You better watch her, Paige. The ropes should hold her. The charms we put on it will keep her from shimmering." Phoebe followed after her as Paige went downstairs. Patience had given up on getting free. Suddenly, Paige heard a voice in her head.
"She betrayed you. You can't trust her," the voice said.
"Are you going to let me go? I won't kill you," Patience said.
"I like you just the way you are," Paige said. The voice came again.
"Take her to the Morgan Cemetery. You want her to freak out." Paige grabbed Patience and orbed out.
At the cemetery, Paige dragged the bond Patience to a headstone. She threw her against it and kicked her. "Paige, what is your problem?" Suddenly, Barbas appeared from behind a statue. He waved his hand and Paige's legs and arms were bound. Paige fell to the ground as Barbas walked to her.
"Thank you for bringing me Patience. I am so glad that you could do my work for me. Let me reward you with eternal death." He waved his hand again and a coffin appeared. Then some ground was uprooted to form a hole. He lifted Paige into the coffin as she tried to struggle free. "The ropes are blessed. You cannot orb out. And you won't be able to dig yourself out. You're frozen in fear!" He laughed as the coffin closed. Paige screamed as the coffin was tossed into the ground and covered with dirt next to the cross headstone. "Now, Patience, it's your turn." He waved his hand to see her fear. He smiled.
"I don't have emotions. You can't see my fear," she laughed.
"It was hard to see but I found it. Your worst fear is not being accepted in the world. That has already come true. You are half demon and half witch. All the demons hate you, and no human will take you in. Your own family even despises you."
"That's not true. They would never…"
"You are so blind. Why would they restrain you? They already think you're a cold-blooded murdered." Patience started to cry in misery. "The next worst fear is watching your family die. You are just like your mother that way. Well, we get two witches for the price of one." They shimmered out.
Back at the manor, Phoebe and Piper were trying to find something in the Book of Shadows. They couldn't find anything. Piper sighed. "I don't get it. Why would Patience try to kill Paige? It isn't like her."
"Maybe she just snapped," Phoebe said.
"Honey, you don't believe that."
"I don't know what to believe. Every time someone great comes into my life, they're trying to hide something from me. Look at Cole and Jason. Maybe Patience is the same way." She suddenly gasped. "I just saw Barbas burying Paige alive. He had Patience with him.
"Was she helping him?"
"No, she was tied up. They're at the Morgan Cemetery."
As they came to the cross headstone, Phoebe pointed. "That's it. That's were he buried her. Leo!" He instantly orbed in. "We need you to get Paige out." He orbed into the ground and came back with an unconscious Paige. "Is she alright?"
"She's not breathing." He tried to heal her but he was knocked out by an energy ball. Piper and Phoebe looked at the one who was throwing the balls.
"Patience," they both yelled. Barbas stood next to her.
"She's been a very bad girl. How ironic. The one who fears losing you the most is the one who will see to your end. Patience, destroy them. Make sure it lasts long enough." Patience held an energy ball. She looked very angry and in pain.
"Run…away! Get…out…of here!" She whispered.
"He can't fully control her," Phoebe said. "We can still help her."
"Foolish girls. She already knows that if she doesn't kill you, you will kill her. You will never be accepted by them, Patience. You're a demon. And the Charmed Ones hunt all demons." Patience threw the energy balls at the sisters. As they flew backwards, Paige stood up. "She isn't dead. I wanted to finish her off anyways. Piper will watch as her sisters die. Paige will be betrayed by a blood relative. And Phoebe will watch as her only daughter turns against her. All your fears are real. Kill them all, Patience!" Paige threw a potion at Patience. Patience turned towards Barbas. "I said kill them."
"I'm not afraid of you anymore. You can't control me."
"What?" Barbas couldn't believe it. Patience was back to normal.
"That potion relieved her of her fear. I figured I'd save it just incase you came back. I call it the no fear potion. I know your worst fear, Barbas. Your worst fear is having no fear to feed on. Without fear, you can't survive." As Paige said this, Barbas started to scream in pain. He finally blew up.
"Is he gone this time?" Piper asked.
"I think so. He left a finger behind." Paige said as Patience fell to the ground. The sisters ran to her. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, he was really strong. It took all my strength to fight him off. Thanks, Paige. You saved my life."
"Hey, that's what family is. We love each other and we help each other."
"We will never leave you," Phoebe said. "We love you too much."
At P3, Madball was singing "Show No Fear". The sisters finally got a chance to rest. "So, what do you think about this all," Paige asked.
"I think we had a long day," Piper answered.
"No, about these attacks. Do you think there will be more?"
"They always come back," Phoebe said. "They won't quit until we destroy them all."
"And we will. Every last one." Piper put her beer up. "Until then, let's enjoy ourselves. Cheers." Paige saw Richard walk in.
"I think I'm going to go enjoy myself a little more." She walked over to Richard and started dancing with him. Piper looked at Phoebe.
"What's wrong?" Piper asked.
"Nothing, just thinking about…"
"Protecting Patience. You can't always protect her. She can take care of herself." Piper walked over to Leo.
"I hope your right."
Vic was getting ready for bed. He had just taken a shower and had only a towel on. (Imagine him with Julian McMahon's body. Hoooooooooooooooot!) He heard a knock and opened the door to find Patience. She started blushing at the sight. "Patience, what are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry. Did I catch you at a bad time?" She tried not to look at him.
"No, what's going on?"
"Well, I found this note in my pocket and I thought I should…screw it!" She grabbed him and kissed him passionately. He grabbed her and closed the door. "I do better when I express myself."
"Really, me too."
"I can't take it anymore. I love you. I want you."
"You took the words right out of my mouth." He carried her over to the bed as she started to take her clothes off. "I've been waiting for you for a long time. I love you too much to turn away. I don't care what happens." He turned out the lights as they continued to kiss. At the foot of the bed, the towel dropped to the floor.
Ok, that's enough. If I go any further, I'll have to change the rating. It's been forever since I've updated. Stupid English Teacher and research papers. I should be able to get the chapters out faster. In case you haven't noticed, I changed my writing format. I got in trouble on a different story and they erased the whole thing. I wouldn't want that to happen here. Please review people. I need more reviews. How am I suppose to improve if I don't get constructive criticism? I need more than 50 reviews. Please, I'll even take flames. Oh well, you just can't have everything you ask for I guess. Cya. I hope you liked this chapter.
