Chapter 11

The drive back to the manor was very quiet. Both Oz and Prue's minds were going a thousand miles an hour. 20 minutes later, Prue drove up into the driveway. Once her and Oz went through the front door they heard shrill screams coming from upstairs. When Oz and Prue got to Prue's bedroom door they saw little Amy trying to hold Paige up on with one arm and trying to calm down Laci, who was lying on her back on the bed. Prue had to smile at her little friends attempts.

"Thank god you're here. They won't stop screaming," Amy replied as Prue took Paige.

"It's ok Paigey," Prue said stroking her little sister's head of red hair. Paige stopped crying immediately.

"PRWUE!!"

Laci let out another scream and Oz came over and lifted her off of the bed.

"It's okay baby Laci," Oz whispered.

"Da dee," Laci said in her little voice as Oz held her close.

"Daddy's got you," Oz whispered. Amy sat with her legs crossed on the floor.

"Thanks Aimes," Prue smiled down at Amy who smiled back.

"It was nothing," Amy said sarcastically getting to her feet. Prue set Paige on the floor and said,

"Oz watch them. I'm going to go see if Phoebe's okay." Oz nodded, rocking calmly with Laci. When Prue got into Phoebe's room she had to put her hand over her mouth to keep from screaming. Phoebe was lying unconscious on the floor in a pool of her own vomit.

"Oh my god. OZ!!!!" Prue screamed. Oz came running.

"We have to get her to a hospital!" Prue cried.

"I'm going to put her in the truck. You take her to the hospital. I'll be there in a second," Oz said.

"You have no car," Prue replied.

"Okay, then take Phoebe over to the hospital. I'll stay here and watch them for the night," Oz said and picked up Phoebe. Within minutes Prue was off to the hospital.

Willow stayed awake stroking her friend's hair for a long time. Suddenly Prue came rushing into the lobby, Phoebe in her arms.

"I need help! Please somebody help me!" Prue screamed. She awoke Andy, Angel, Piper, and Buffy as well as 4 nurses and a doctor who came running. One picked up Phoebe and rushed her off, the others following. Prue sat on the floor, finding it a great deal harder to breathe. Andy rushed to her side and let Prue sob into his chest.

"I should have brought her straight to the hospital last night," she cried still trying to get air.

"Sweetie it isn't your fault," Willow whispered gently. She had gotten up and was also at Prue's side with Angel, Buffy, and Piper.

"Yes it is! Phoebe's really sick and it's all my fault!" Prue screamed hysterically as Andy tried with all his efforts to calm her down. Willow wiped away a few tears from Prue's face and kissed her gently on the cheek. Finally, with some help with gently coaxing from Willow, Andy got Prue to stand up and he helped her to ask someone about Phoebe. The nurse luckily knew where her fellow partners had gone and led Prue and the others to where Phoebe was.

"Their still examining her," the little nurse, who had dirty blonde hair and clear blue eyes, said gently. They were outside a door marked 6345.

"If you need anything my name is nurse Codwell," she said.

"Thank you for all of your help," Prue said. With that the nurse was gone. No more then a minute later Dr.Bronze (Mega-Moos doctor) came out of the door.

"Doctor, will Phoebe be okay?" Prue asked anxiously. He sighed scribbling something on a clipboard.

"The prognosis doesn't look good."
