Sorry I'm not updating sooner. I thought I'd be less busy when I got out of school. Turns out I'm even busier. Combine that with the fact that I'm sharing a computer with two older sisters and it takes awhile to get the computer. I'll try to update sooner. Thank you to all who reviewed, I am eternally grateful.
"Rise and shine" Roger said.
Everyone woke up. Prue and Piper had removed the bullets and tied up their wounds the night before.
"So, who feels like making breakfast?" Roger asked.
"I can make it" Phoebe said.
"But, Piper is supposed to be such a good cook" Roger said.
"She has a bullet wound in her leg, how can she make breakfast?" Phoebe said.
"Blame Prue, it's her fault Piper has a bullet wound in her leg" Roger said.
The doorbell rang.
"Okay, it's probably Darryl so Andy I nominate you to answer the door. Remember, do it like Prue did yesterday and your girlfriend and daughters won't end up with a bullets in their heads" Roger said.
Andy answered the door.
"Hey Darryl, any news?" Andy asked.
"No, nobody has seen anything suspicious. Have you gotten anymore notes or phone calls?" Darryl said.
"No, nothing" Andy said.
"Do you mind if I come in for a second?" Darryl said. "I need to talk to Prue"
"She's sleeping right now, she had a really rough night with the girls" Andy said.
"Okay, tell her to give me a call when she wakes up" Darryl said sensing something suspicious.
"Okay" Andy said. "Bye, Darryl"
Andy shut the door.
"Go back with the others" Roger said.
"Okay, Phoebe go make breakfast" Roger said. "Since your other two sisters are helpless "
Phoebe went into the kitchen with a plan. As soon as she was in there, she grabbed a knife. She cut all of the wires in her bomb. Then she stuffed the knife in her pocket. She made breakfast and everyone was eating when Phoebe passed the knife to Andy. After he finished, he passed it to Piper, then to Leo, then Prue, who cut Ava and Andrea's. Prue and Piper weren't doing to well. Prue had a huge bruise on her face and it was swollen. Both Piper's and her leg were swelling up and they were extremely painful.
"Shouldn't Prue call Darryl so he doesn't get suspicious?" Phoebe said
"No, she can just tell him she forgot" Roger said. "It sounds like something she would do"
Phoebe, who was sitting next to Roger, saw he had his gun beside him. She quickly grabbed it and tossed it to Prue and ran to the other side of the table.
"Bad move, Phoebe" Roger said.
He tried to set off the bomb, it didn't work.
"Surprise" Phoebe said.
"Phoebe go get a police guard" Andy said.
Phoebe ran for the door. Roger grabbed her and held a knife to her throat.
"Can't shoot me now, can you Prue?" Roger said. "Drop the gun"
"Prue, don't" Phoebe said. "You're stronger then him"
Andy took Prue's hand.
"Prue, look at all you've made it through, you're stronger than him… we're stronger than him" Andy said.
"Let her go and I'll come with you" Prue said. "I'll make sure the police don't arrest you"
"I'm not that stupid, Prue" Roger said.
"Then I'm so sorry" Prue said.
She shot Roger. Phoebe ran over to and hugged her. Prue just stood there. Leo walked over to Roger and felt for a pulse.
"He's dead" Leo said.
"Prue, you didn't have a choice" Andy said. "You did the right thing"
Andy hugged Prue
"I know" Prue said.
"Let's have Leo heal Piper and you" Andy said.
Leo was about to heal Piper's leg when he was orbed away.
"What just happened?" Piper asked.
"Roger told the Elders about Prue's spell" Phoebe said.
Piper started to cry.
"They can't do this" Prue said, "I won't let them"
"Before you can do anything Prue we have to get Piper and you to a hospital" Andy said.
Andy talked to the guards out front to let them know what happened. Then Phoebe and he took Piper and Prue to the hospital. They got their legs bandaged up. Luckily it wasn't as bad as it could have been so they got crutches and left. They got home and Roger's body had been removed. Piper immediately went up to her room to cry.
"I'm going up there and giving them a piece of my mind" Prue said.
"How are you going to get up there?" Phoebe asked.
"With the girls" Prue said.
She balanced herself on her crutches and took Andrea's hand.
"Can you take me up to Uncle Leo, he's where grandma is" Prue said.
"Wait, I'm coming with you" Andy said. "I have a few things to say to them too"
Andy, Prue, and Andrea disappeared. They reappeared in front of the Elders.
"Andy take her to Mom and Grams, I don't what her to hear me" Prue said.
Andy took Andrea away.
"Don't bother to argue, they broke the rules and so did you. You're lucky we didn't punish you" an Elder said.
"If you think we're really going to sit here and shut up while you break Piper's heart, you're are wrong. If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't have the Charmed Ones. She's the one who convinced me not to give up being a Charmed One when Andy died. She's one of the special people raising you're precious Twins of the Elements. If it wasn't for her, Phoebe and I would be at each others throats, and there's a pretty good chance the Charmed Ones would never have been brought back together. She brought Phoebe home again. I can guarantee that if you don't give Leo back, my sisters and I will not work for you again. You may think we're weak for letting our emotions take control of us, but that hasn't stopped us before. I will not stand here silent, as you break an innocent girl's heart" Prue said.
"We are not giving Leo back. There is a reason why whitelighters and witches cannot have a relationship" an Elder said. "All of this is for the greater good"
"Losing the Charmed Ones is for the greater good?" Prue asked.
"The girls have lost so much in their lives" Andy said coming into the room. "They lost their mom, their dad, their grams and now you're taking away Piper's soulmate"
"Prue survived without you for more than a year" another Elder pointed out.
"I had the girls" Prue said. "They were part of Andy"
"I am sorry, but we are not giving back Leo" another Elder said. "Now gather your child and leave"
Andy brought Andrea back.
"Okay Andrea can you take mommy and daddy back home" Prue said to Andrea.
Then she turned to the Elders.
"Don't count on us helping you again" Prue said.
Prue, Andy, and Andrea arrived back at the manor.
"How'd it go?" Phoebe asked.
"Well if they didn't hate us before, they do now" Prue said. "If it's possible I think I lowered the chances of Piper ever getting Leo back"
"So what are we going to do?" Phoebe asked.
"I think we better go talk to Piper" Prue said.
"I'll go put the girls to bed" Andy said.
Phoebe and Prue went upstairs to Piper's room.
"Piper?" Prue said knocking on the door, "Can we come in?"
There was no answer, all they heard was crying. Prue opened the door slightly.
"Sweetie, we really need to talk" Prue said.
She walked over to Piper, who was lying in bed.
"It's not fair, why did they take Leo away?" Piper asked sobbing. "What did we do to deserve this?"
"You didn't do anything" Phoebe said. "They shouldn't have taken Leo away"
"We are going to try everything to get Leo back" Prue said.
"I don't think I can make it without Leo" Piper said.
"We'll get him back, I promise" Prue said. "Now try to go to sleep"
Prue covered Piper up.
"I love you" Prue said. "I'll be here if you need me"
She kissed Piper's forehead.
Phoebe and she left the room.
Phoebe looked at Prue. Her face was pale and it looked like the bruise was worse.
"Prue you don't look so good, why don't you go to sleep too. I'll stay here if Piper needs anything" Phoebe said.
"Okay, but wake me up if Piper can't sleep" Prue said.
She went to her room, were Andy was waiting.
"How is she?" Andy asked.
"Bad" Prue said. "I don't know what I can say to make her feel better"
"I think all we can do is try to get Leo back" Andy said. "You don't look so good, come sit down"
"It's just the bruise, it looks worse than it feels" Prue said.
"Still you shouldn't push yourself" Andy said. "It's been a hard day"
Prue came and sat on the bed.
"Did you need to talk about anything?" Andy asked.
"No" Prue said.
"Why don't you go to bed?" Andy said.
"I'm fine! Okay?" Prue said irritated.
"I was just worried about you" Andy said.
"I know; I'm sorry" Prue said softly.
It was silent. Prue got up to change into her pajamas. Andy came over to help her. Prue jumped.
"Are you okay?" Andy asked.
"Yeah, you just scared me" Prue said.
She continued changing.
"You go to bed, I'm going to go check on Piper for a second" Prue said.
She went to Piper's room and listened to see if she was asleep. She could hear sobbing so she opened the door. She walked over to Piper and started stroking her hair.
"Shh" Prue said trying to get Piper to calm down. "It's going to be okay, sweetie"
Piper laid her head on Prue's lap. Prue continued to stroke her hair. After a while Piper quieted down.
"I loved him" Piper said.
"I know you did" Prue said. "We all know you did"
Piper laid there quietly until she fell asleep.
"How is she?" Andy asked standing in the doorway.
"She just fell asleep" Prue whispered. "I thought you were going to bed"
"I thought you were too" Andy said.
"She needs me more than I need sleep"
"Fine, I'll stay in here too" Andy said.
"You don't have to" Prue said.
"I want to be with you" Andy said.
Prue looked down at Piper.
"Life's been so unfair for them" Prue said. "No Mom, no Dad, no Grams. At least I have memories of Mom and Dad. Piper hardly has any and Phoebe has none. Why do the Elders want to cause them even more pain?"
"They had and still have you and each other" Andy said. "Even when you guys fought I could tell you guys loved each other"
"That was why we fought. I didn't want Phoebe to mess up and get hurt and she didn't want me to tell her what to do. Piper never really fought though, she was always the peace keeper" Prue said.
"Except that time Phoebe dented her car" Andy said.
Prue laughed.
"Even then she was only mad for a couple of days" Prue said. "I wish I could make her feel better. I remember when I could just hug her and she'd be okay"
"Everything happens for a reason" Andy said.
"Are you so sure? I'm not even sure about it. I think I just kept telling myself that so I could fool myself" Prue said.
"Somewhere in your heart you did know it was true" Andy said. "Otherwise you wouldn't be the wonderful woman you are today"
"Thank you" Prue said.
Prue yawned.
"Go to bed" Andy said.
"But" Prue was cut off.
"No buts; now go" Andy said. "I'll help you"
"Meanie" Prue said.
Andy picked Prue up and carried her to her room. Soon Andy fell asleep, but Prue laid there restlessly until it was morning.
