Chapter 14: Save and Vanquish?

Disclaimer: If Ch Rose screams in the attic, and Piper and Phoebe are conveniently otherwise engaged—does anyone hear her? Not if Ms. Burge was still writing the episodes.

A/N: OOOOOHHHHHHHH EVERYONE I'M SOOOO SORRY!!!!!!! I know I took so long to update. Okay don't kill me but.... This chapter is gonna be really really short cause my school took my laptop and I'm on my dad's computer and he doesn't let me be on for a long time. I'm really, really sorry guys.

"David?' Chorused the whole room, "Do you mean the same David on the floor, unconscious?' Continued Darryl, "And by the way," laughed Darryl in a serious manner, "why is your fiancé knocked out?"

"Yes, the same David, Darryl. And he's unconscious because he called me an easy slut," said Piper in one breathe, "and oh yeah, the wedding's off," she finished in a huff.

"Never mind—never mind!" Darryl concluded, "I don't need to know! Just tell us how we save David and anyone else from that Ho-xa thing."

"Do we really have to save him?" questioned Prue, "Come on Leo—would he really be of any loss—to anyone?'

"As just you guys friend—I would say no......" Leo started.

"Ok then it's settled!" Interrupted Phoebe, "So we can just dump his body somewhere, ya know, until he comes to. Then we can..."

"But," cut in Leo, "as your Whitelighter, I have to tell you guys to save him. If you didn't Haxor would have enough power to kill you and the world would be ultimately doomed."

"Well when you put it that way I guess we do have to save him," sighed Pam, "but on any other circumstances, I wouldn't lift a finger to help him."

Everyone around the room gave agreeing nods. Everyone except for Darryl, who was still hopelessly confused. There was silence while everyone waited for someone to suggest a plan.

"There's no vanquish in the Book," observed Prue, "how are we supposed to stop him?"

"The Book's never seen the Power of Four," said Pam.

"Why don't you give it a shot Phoebe, try writing the first Power of Four spell," smiled Piper.

"Wait me? Why me? I've never done it before---I might mess it up," said Phoebe in a very worried manner.

"Simple. I'm the potion's master, you're the spell writer," concluded Piper with a laugh.

"And you won't mess it up," added Pam, "you've written plenty of Power of Three spells—it's just the same but you'll be writing it for four people. You'll do fine."

"Prue, can you scry for Haxor with his athamae?" Asked Pam.

"Yeah, sure--I'll uh, get the map and crystal they use for the set," Prue said hurriedly and a bit uneasily. She, like Phoebe, didn't know if she could get everything to work right. "Do those work for real?" She added before heading out the door.

"Of course they do-they're real, just like the Book of Shadows," Pam answered after her.

"Look, I'll go back to the station and make sure no one else has gotten hurt," said Darryl, also heading out the door, "call me if you need anything," he added.

"I'll go calm the Elder's nerves," said Leo as he orbed out.

"I'll check the Book for any other information and make sure that there aren't any hidden surprises," said Pam as she headed for the Book.

"I," chimed in Piper, "will go tell Julian and the rest of the stage crew that we won't be shooting today."

But as Piper headed out the door, a great force threw her back against the wall.

"And I," came a voice of malice, "will be killing your innocent."

A/N: I know, I know—this was terrible. Please flame if you guys don't like it. I need some constructive criticism. I'm really sorry about the shortness of it too. But do you guys know what else I need? REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Please)
