Hi, I would have updated sooner but I've been ill, and I can't reply individually right now cos I'm about to be kicked out of this room so my step-dad can tidy up, so I'll catch up next chapter! I've changed the title to this chapter as you can see and I think you all know what it's a play on!
We're Off To See The Wall:
Prue smoked into the foyer, in the manor, and walked straight through to the kitchen, gesturing at all of the cupboards and making them fling open, before gesturing again and moving all of the potion ingredients out of them.
"Prue, what are you doing?" Cole asked, after shimmering in, she didn't answer. He repeated his question and this time she responded with a pyrokinetic sphere which blasted him backwards into the wall, rendering the half demon unconscious. The eldest Halliwell sister began to mix the ingredients together, forming a potion the darkest shade of red imaginable. She put some of the potion into a vial and blinked at it, filling the liquid with a smoky black substance and eventually turning it the colour of coal, maybe even darker, then she smoked out. Paige and Phoebe orbed in moments later and Paige healed Cole,
"Prue, she's gone," he stated,
"you mean she's been here?" Phoebe asked, he nodded,
"what did she do?" Paige asked, Cole pointed to the pot containing the potion. Phoebe walked over and held her hands above it, her eyes snapped shut as she received a premonition:
Prue threw a black potion at a wall, on the wall was a symbol; it was a skull, with an angelic wing on either side, and then a pentagram above. As the potion smashed against the symbol it was lit up by a black glow and the wall began to change into bright, icy blue, light. Prue watched as many spirits began to walk out.
"What did you see?" Paige asked,
"Prue, and a wall with a strange symbol on, then ghosts," the Angelic Seer replied,
"I have an idea what this wall might be, can you remember the symbol?" Cole said, handing his wife a notepad and pen.
"Somebody fill me in," Piper said, as she and Leo walked in,
"Piper, how are you awake?" Paige said, pulling her sister into a hug,
"probably because Prue vanquished Borx, he's not sharing Piper's powers anymore, so she has all her strength to herself," Phoebe said,
"Prue vanquished Borx?" Piper repeated, in partial amazement, Phoebe nodded.
"This is what the symbol looked like," the second to youngest said, handing Cole back the notepad,
"this isn't good," he whispered,
"why?" Leo asked, before he too looked at the notepad and also realised what it was.
"Are you gonna tell us what's going on?" Piper asked,
"the wall Phoebe saw Prue with in her premonition, is said to be the wall between life and death, of you break through this wall then the two worlds will collide," Cole replied,
"I bet that's what Prue wants to happen, if her healing plan doesn't work, if she collides the two worlds Andy's spirit will be accessible for her to return," Leo told them.
"Okay, but even if she gets Andy's soul back she can't get his body, it's disappeared," Paige said,
"a simple spell can fix that," Leo said,
"and I'm betting that Prue's already cast that simple spell and is now standing over Andy's body trying to heal him, and then when that doesn't work she'll be off to the wall," Phoebe stated.
"We need to stop her, where is this wall?" Piper asked,
"it's location is hidden, even from the Elders, only the Angels and Gods of life and death know," Leo replied,
"well then it looks like we're off to summon Asendea," Phoebe stated.
They got up to the attic and walked straight over to the book, Piper began flipping through the pages until she found the spell she was looking for and said it:
"to awaken they that fall,
we summon the goddess,
hear our call."
Out of white lights Asendea appeared,
"Piper, Paige, Phoebe, what can I do for you?" she asked, very kindly,
"we need you to take us to the wall between life and death," Phoebe replied,
"you mean the Barrier Of The Living Dead?" Asendea questioned.
"If that's what it's called then yeah, can you take us there?" Paige said, the goddess hesitated before nodding,
"it's a place of black magic, and the guardians of the Barrier will want to keep you from it at all costs," she told them,
"but they can't keep you from it, you're a controller of what it represents; life and death," Piper stated,
"exactly, that's why you must stay close to me at all times," Asendea said, closing her eyes and making herself and the sisters vanish in a shower of bright lights.
They reappeared in a dark, cold, place, the surrounding trees were all dead and animal carcasses could be seen scattered all over the black sand.
"There's our wall," Phoebe stated, pointing at the grey, stone, wall with the symbol on it,
"now all we have to do is wait for Prue," Piper said, taking a seat on a nearby rock,
"I think our wait's already over," Paige said, watching as a tornado of smoke began to form.
"Get out of here," Prue ordered, as she appeared from the smoke,
"we're not going to let you do this Prue," Piper told her, standing up and stepping forward,
"I'll fight you if I have to," Prue said,
"fine by me," Piper said, as Paige, Phoebe and Asendea also stepped forward,
"you stay out of this," Prue hissed, knocking the trio backwards with a dark cloud and running to Piper, grabbing her wrists and smoking them out.
They smoked in on a cliff top,
"now you can either let me break through the wall, or we can fight until you're so weak that you can't stop me," Prue said,
"I think I'd rather fight," Piper replied. Firstly, the sisters battled with hand to hand combat, then things turned to magic as Prue pinned Piper to the ground with a red glow,
"that was an easy fight," the eldest said, but Piper proved her wrong by breaking through the glow by freezing it and then blowing it up. Prue dodged a pyrokinetic dart Piper had thrown and fought back with a disc of black energy, which Piper hardly managed to dodge and slashed her arm as it flew past, creating a bloody wound.
"This is over," Prue whispered, smoking out,
"crap," Piper groaned, she had no idea where she was, Prue had brought her here, and due to the fact that she had no form of teleportation power, Leo was powerless and Paige was unconscious, it looked like she was going to be stuck here for a while.
Prue smoked back in at the Barrier of the Living Dead and pulled the potion from her pocket,
"I don't think so," Phoebe said, jumping up as she, Asendea and Paige regained consciousness, the Angelic Seer ran at her sister who blasted her back without even looking at her. Paige watched as Prue threw the potion and then orbed it to her before it could hit the wall,
"give it back," Prue growled, turning around,
"I'm sorry but I can't do that," Paige said, placing the potion on the floor and holding up her foot above it.
"NO!" Prue roared, throwing Paige a large distance through the air before the heel of her red boots could press down on the potion. The eldest shot forward and grabbed the potion manually rather than using her powers, then she turned back around and threw the potion, a hopeful look appeared on her face as it smashed on the wall. The symbol glowed as the wall became a kind of blue light and ghosts began to step out.
To be continued…
