YAY, 96 REVIEWS! THANK YOU!
"Ready?" Paige asked Leo, Cole, and an evil grinning Barbus as she looked at her watch. Leo nodded impatiently, Cole looked sick, and Barbus... Well Barbus smiled wider. Suddenly the watch started beeping, signaling it was time and each of the four used their own mode of transportation landing in a jaguar den.There were forty of the cat like creatures doing all different things from gambling to fighting to just sitting around, until they were alerted of the presence of the four and all paused for a moment then, "Where are they?" Paige asked. "We get him first, then you get family." A jaguar that sounded like he didn't know much English stepped up. Cole gulped and then went forward a bit.
"They have to see their family first, you bring them back and you get me." He said bravely. The jaguar smiled a little and then waved his hand, which caused four bodies to appear and drop lifelessly to the ground. Suddenly it was chaos as Leo ran for the sisters and Grams, about twelve jaguars pounced on Cole, and Barbus ran up behind Paige and quickly flamed away with her.
Leo looked over and saw Phoebe stir then slowly open her eyes and yawn. "Hey Leo, what's up?" she asked. "Phoebe, help Cole." Leo said urgently motioning to Cole who was still trying to fend the demons off. Phoebe looked surprised but didn't ask any questions before quickly hurling a bolt of lightning just beside the group.
They all looked around surprised giving Cole time to flame a few and Phoebe time to hurl more electricity, this time actually hitting them. An energy ball came out of nowhere though and Phoebe was hit in the leg causing her to scream in agony. Leo quickly healed her but then had to orb Piper to miss an energy ball directed at her.
When he got back though no one was there. "What the hell?" he whispered to himself. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Piper shift and then wipe her eyes as she woke up. She sat up slowly and looked around before noticing Leo. "What's going on?" she asked sleepily. "Uh... I dunno." He answered truthfully.
Then Barbus appeared and both jumped. "What the hell?!" both Piper and Leo asked at the same time. "No time to explain, Paige was captured!" he said looking quite truthful and worried. "By who? You?" Piper asked sarcastically. "No, I hurt her and I'm back her for eternity." He told her. Piper looked at Leo questioningly but he just muttered that he'd explain later.
"Where is she?" Leo asked. "In this world somewhere, it's basically a parallel Underworld, I guess you caught a rift as you orbed or something." Barbus told him. "Right, uh... we gotta get my sister back, let's go." Piper said quickly standing up. Leo looked Barbus in those freaky eyes of his before Piper pulled him away. Something wasn't right...
"So, I've been asleep for 72 hours?" Piper asked skeptically as they walked along the only path that led from the jaguar's den. "Yeah." He answered shrugging. "And I missed three days of school?" she asked looking panicked. Leo laughed at her but his smiled turned around as they heard a moan. They looked at each other and then started running until they got to Paige who was in a fetal position looking at the wall scared.
Piper slowly started up to her but stopped suddenly when she saw a spider. "Piper what's wrong?" Leo asked as Piper looked at the ground. "Sp-Spider..." she muttered. Leo looked down confused, there was nothing there. Then suddenly a demon shimmered in and threw a fireball at Piper then at Paige. He tried to run for them but he couldn't move and he was forced to watch them die slowly before falling to the ground.
Piper backed away from the spider, which looked at her and then tensed up. Suddenly thousands of spiders were around her! "Leo help!" she screamed looking over to Leo whom she saw unconscious on the ground. "Paige!" she screamed. Paige seemed to snap out of whatever trance like state she was in for just a second and then started screaming.
"Paige help!" Piper yelled as the spiders started to climb up her legs. Paige quit screaming and looked around confused. "Piper?" she asked looking over at her big sister. "Paige, spiders, everywhere, help!" Piper screamed. Paige looked around but she couldn't see anything. "Piper, there aren't any spiders." Paige told her sister. Piper didn't know what she was talking about.
She felt the spiders crawling up her legs and arms and then realized something. Spiders were her greatest fear. She got really mad and then the spiders started spontaneously combusting until all of them were gone. "Barbus!" she screamed angrily. Paige suddenly got the idea but didn't look angry, she'd kind of figured this would happen.
"Leo." Piper said suddenly running over to where Leo lay. "What did he do to him?" Piper asked angrily. "A Whitelighters greatest fear is losing his charges." Paige informed her. "Paige, come on, orb us now." Piper told her. "Where?" Paige asked. "Barbus." Piper answered with fire in her eyes. Paige looked a bit scared and did as she was told.
Or tried to, because she couldn't. "Oh great, this world obviously doesn't allow orbing, Barbus we know you're behind this, get your ass here RIGHT NOW!" Piper yelled to no one. "Leo's gonna die and there's nothing you can do about it." Piper looked at Paige angrily. "What kind of an attitude is that?" she asked. Paige looked confused. "What are you talking about?"
An image appeared in front of Piper. It was Leo, "It's all your fault Piper, I'm dying because of you." He said coldly before fading out. "No Leo come back!" Piper said grabbing at air. Paige suddenly morphed into Barbus, "Ah Piper, what did you do?" he asked looking at Leo. "You bastard." Piper said flicking her wrist at him and blowing him up. But then blue lights came down and turned into a half-way dead Paige.
"Oh my God..." Piper said covering her mouth. She felt tears start to run down her cheeks before taking a deep uneven breath and pulling herself together. "Leo get up!" she yelled turning to him. "Leo you haven't lost anyone yet but you will if you don't get up now!" Piper yelled louder. Somehow, subconsciously, Leo heard her words and woke up a bit.
He opened his eyes and saw Piper there then as fast as he could jumped up and pulled her into a deep kiss. Piper felt her stomach flutter and they pulled away and hugged tightly. "I was so afraid. I lost you..." he muttered. "That's why he's called the demon of fear." She said still in sort of shock over the kiss. "Oh Paige! Paige!" she yelled as she pulled herself together.
Leo looked over then bent down to heal her and as he did the world seemed to shift and they were suddenly back in the jaguar den. Paige groggily got up and rubbed her head and they all looked around. Cole, Grams and Phoebe were huddled over something, all with tears in their eyes. There weren't any jaguars. "What's going on?" Paige asked as a chill went through the room.
Phoebe looked at Paige, Piper, and Leo wide eyed. "But... I saw... Paige, you went up in flames, and Piper and Leo... An energy ball hit you, you exploded..." Phoebe said in awe. "Where's Prue?" Piper asked. Not seeing her big sister anywhere. Phoebe sobbed and turned back to what the three had been huddled over a second ago. Cole and Grams moved a bit and Paige, Piper, and Leo had a clear view of Prue's pale lifeless body.
"She was stabbed in the back." Cole told the three of them. "We didn't notice until the jaguars were gone and by then it was to late." Piper looked like she was gonna throw up before shaking her head. "No, no she's not dead, she can't be dead, Leo, heal her." Piper said throwing her hand aimlessly in Prue's direction.
Leo looked at her on the verge of tears and shook his head. "Piper, I can't heal the dead." He said quietly. She shook her head again. "Try damn it!" she yelled angrily. He sighed, trying to heal Prue would definitely bring hope to the sisters, yet he was sure it wouldn't be any good... Still he tried. And surprisingly... Light came out of his hands.
Prue sucked in air and sat up breathing heavily as she grasp her heart. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige pounced on her in a hug, which Grams quickly joined. "Thank God, I couldn't have held on for much longer." Prue told them. "See, I knew you wouldn't let go!" Piper said happily. Prue nodded and then waved back and forth before falling back unconscious.
All three sisters looked alarm but sighed of relief when Prue started lightly snoring. "She sleeps for three days and the first thing she does when she wakes up..." Piper muttered laughing quietly as she wiped away the tears in her eyes. "Now we've gotta find Barbus and vanquish him!" Paige said standing up angrily. "I wouldn't worry about that." A voice said and out of the shadows stepped Barbus.
"I broke my promise to Them after all. Go ahead, go ahead." He said looking to the sky and throwing his hands up in surrender before bursting into pieces. "Can we go, I'm starving!" Phoebe asked seeming like Barbus just blowing up didn't faze her a bit. "I vote we go get Mexican, I'm craving Mexican!" Paige said grabbing her and orbing out. "Thanks for the help Cole." Leo said looking pained as he took Grams, Piper and Prue and orbed them out.
"You didn't bind my powers back!" Cole yelled after the orbs before being left alone in the jaguar den. He sighed and looked around. "This would make a great hang out..." he said as he started to picture were everything could go. He grinned happily shimmering out and then coming back with every electrical device known to man.
"I Love The 90s!" the TV said as he turned VH1 on.
