A/N: Wyatt333: At moment, I don't have any plans to make Cole the Source. No, Prue's not going to get a destructive power. I see her more as diplomat About Paige and new love, no she won't be moving on to Richard or Kyle. And Yes, Dantalian was inferencing that Amanda could one day take Prue's place as the oldest Charmed and the next in line for HP position. Zythe: Prue's kids like Wyatt? Hmm…no, not intentionally. . Ally's power is unique in the respect that it could have been Prue's power to protect through time if she'd lived. The new baby is partially immortal b/c both of her parents are angelic. PrueTrudeau: Leo didn't go after the shape shifter because he can't sense his charges in the underworld at least in this story. Princess Pinky: I knew you would be surprised by my twist with Paige and Glenn. Will Ally save their future and bring Glenn back? Only time will tell… As for the clunking of the heads, well every once in a while we see a lighthearted comedic side to Charmed, I guess this my attempt at keeping it light.
Eternally Charmed: An Unexpected Awakening
By the time, Piper and Paige returned home, Leo had already healed Phoebe from the stab wound she'd suffered at the hands of the shape shifter and had returned to the hospital to check on Prue and Andy's newest baby. Cole was at Phoebe's side, holding her in his arms.
"You okay?" Tenderly Cole swept her short springs of hair away from her face and kissed her. Phoebe smiled warmly returning the kiss with a peck.
"I'm fine thanks to Piper and Leo, but Amanda isn't and neither is-" Phoebe words stopped short at the sight of Paige's face. "Oh my God what happened?"
"The shape shifter killed Glenn and made off with Prue." Piper answered sullen.
"Oh sweetie" Phoebe was instantly in her feet cradling, Paige's in her arms. Instinctively Paige buried her face into Phoebe's shoulder and began to sob.
"I tried to save him, but there was nothing I could do…Glenn just stepped in front of me and before I knew it he was gone" Tears soaked the linen material of Phoebe's blouse as she looked over Paige's shoulder.
"Sounds familiar"
"Huh?" Cole looked at Piper confused.
"Andy, he did the same thing trying to save Prue" Piper repeated recalling the moment that Andy had rushed into the manor to save them from Rodriquez
"Oh" Cole nodded.
Pulling away, Phoebe tenderly stroked the side of Paige's face, "Honey I know this hard for you right now, but-"
"We've all been through this and right now you need to be strong for Prue" Piper finished not letting her voice falter.
Phoebe looked at her sister incredulously through blazing eyes. Did Piper even know how insensitive she sounded? "Piper can you take it easy? Paige just lost Glenn".
Piper felt her jaw clench slightly, and gazed down at the floor, "I know she did, but if we don't move quickly, we are going to lose more than just Paige's boyfriend. Phoebe, Prue's entire family could wiped out and that's not a lose we can bear right now"
Phoebe, let her emotions shimmer for a moment. She thought about Cole and how'd she'd felt at the moments she'd thought she'd lost him. But no matter how much it had hurt, she knew that one thing always had to hold true; sisters first, sisters always.
"Piper's right. We have to concentrate on finding Prue"
"Sister's first, sister's always" Piper returned hugging both Phoebe and Paige, "now come on, let's go find Prue and hopefully in process we can bring down the shape shifter that killed Glenn. Paige you with us?"
Paige nodded swiping at her eyes, "okay where do we start?"
"With the book, there must be a spell"
Natalie orbed in just as Piper and Paige started to climb the stairs. In her hands she held a small sliver vase looking urn. "Phoebe".
Phoebe paused for a moment watching her sister's disappear up the stairs before climbing to Natalie's level. Clearly she could see that the white lighter was holding an urn like vase. "What is it?"
Natalie handed Phoebe a vase, "Just give this to Paige when the time is right"
Dantalian's Lair
"Mommy!" Amanda held tight to the bars of the birdcage as the shape shifter blinked in holding Prue. Delicately he sat the unconscious witch on the slab next to Andy causing Dantalian to smile.
"Welcome back, Prue" Dantalian pulled out a black cord from underneath the slab and tossed it to the shape shifter. "I will need your assistance to bind their hands". Reaching across Prue's body she lifted Prue's left hand and placed it over Andy's right.
"Are you going to bind them in union?" Doing as he was told, the shape shifter quickly bound Prue and Andy's hands together at the wrist.
"No, I am going to unbind the union in which they were joined by the greater good and then I am going to extract a small portion of the Tracer's essence"
"His essence?" The shape shifter looked perplexed. What could she possibly need his essence for if not to turn him evil?
"You'll see" Dantalian blinked causing a tiny lantern to appear in her hands.
"A lantern from the dimension of the lost souls" The shape shifter gasped watching Dantalian as she began to chant something in a language he did not understand. Amazed he watched what looked to be blue and white orbs fly out of Andy's chest and settle into the lantern.
"It is done I now have enough essence to create a child who will one day destroy the immortal angelic child" Dantalian closed the door to the lantern and then handed it to the warlock.
"My Queen, that is brilliant"
Dantalian turned to attend to a smoldering cauldron, pulling out what looked to be a long burning match stick. Carefully she lit the cord that joined Prue's hand to Andy's and began to chant.
"Take away the union, which once was bound, replace it with another, one of which cannot be undone. Remove your magic destiny; remove from your life your Charmed Legacy. Angels together you shall no longer be"
The cord burned slowly emitting a huge puff of black glistening smoke. The smoke seemed to dance about its victims, crawling around like a snake until both turned a transparent ash gray fading away from sight. Both Prue and Andy were gone, nothing but the blankets that had been covering Prue remained.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Amanda dropped to her knees cowering in the corner. "Don't weave me! Don't weave me! Please don't weave!"
"What will happen to the girl?" the shape shifter asked in hushed tone. Dantalian glanced over to the cage, sneering in victory.
" Her parents have been sent to an alternative universe and given new soul mates. If they do not find a way to reunite by the end of the fifth day their union of love shall be broken and their children along with all of their magic shall fade away forever." Prue and Andy would be trapped in the respective alternative universe that they had been banished too.
Back at the manor, Phoebe, Piper and Paige stood at the podium, thumbing through the book. "There's got to be something in here," Piper growled running a hand through her hair.
A sudden crack of thunder shook the house causing the lights to flicker. "Did it just get cold here?" Paige hugged her upper arms in time with the attic window flying open.
"What is going on?" Piper marched to the window, closing the shutters and locking them.
"Something has happened to Prue, the Elders definitely feel it" Leo and Natalie orbed in together, both looking grim.
"The balance of the greater good and evil has been thrown off by her abduction" Natalie added watching Phoebe cock her head.
"What do you mean the balance has been thrown off?"
Natalie exchanged glances with Leo and then offered an explanation, "Without the high priestess in control of the realm, evil has the upper hand. Our sources tell us that Prue is no longer within the realm of this dimension."
"Oh Crap! Leave it to Prue to get bestowed some title that could possibly wipe out our whole existence" Piper walked back over to the book and closed it. "We're not going to find anything in here"
"Piper how do you know?" Phoebe asked reaching over her sister to open it again.
Piper placed her hand over Phoebes, "because there wasn't anything in it before. We had to turn evil, remember?"
Paige curled her face in deep concentration, "Evil? Isn't that like a bad thing?"
"Yeah", Phoebe sighed with reminiscence smile, "but it sure was fun"
"Oh it was blast" Piper rolled her eyes in sarcasm, "right up to the part where we smashed Leo"
Then there's only one solution, Paige smirked. "One of us has to turn evil"
Alternative Universe
Prue lay in dimly lit hospital room, with monitors all around her.
"Andy?" Blinding pain surrounded Prue as she tried to open her eyes. Everything hurt. A radiating pain her in her stomach told her that she'd had surgery. The twenty-seven staples that were now holding her stomach tissue together stung unmercifully.
A gentle hand fell into her hair soothing her soft whimpers. "Dreaming about your high school boyfriend again?"
Prue's brow furrowed. The voice, it wasn't Andy's but still she knew it. Forcing her eyes open she saw the shape of a man standing over her. A man she'd never thought nor wanted to see again.
"Roger?"
"Who else did you think it would be?" Roger snorted softly easing back in the chair.
Prue winced trying to sit up a little. This had to be one of those weird dreams where you knew you were dreaming but just couldn't wake up. Maybe she was still under the influence of the anesthesia.
"Where are my sisters?"
"You're sisters?" Roger bit down on his lip. "Look sweetheart, I know you wish they were here for you but-"
Prue's brow furrowed, this was becoming insane. Piper, Phoebe and Paige had to be there somewhere. "Look I don't know how or why you are here, but you have to leave now! Piper! Phoebe! Paige!"
"Who on earth is Paige?" Roger moved forward, placing his hands on her shoulders with gentle force he pushed back down to the bed.
"She's my sister" Prue tried to pull free of his hands, instantly wishing she hadn't. "OW!"
"Obviously you're still a little loopy from the surgery, you know as well as I do Piper is in Beverly Hills with Josh, and Phoebe, well she's probably in New York or somewhere being Phoebe." Roger smiled pulling her back to him
"Get your hands off me!" Prue pushed her hands into his chest, attempting to shove him back causing the staples in her abdomen to pull again this time unmercifully. "Oh..God".
Prue looked down to see that her white hospital gown was spotting with blood.
"Prue honey, just take it easy, you had the baby early but everything's going to be fine." Roger reached for the call button to call for a nurse, as Prue's eyes went wild.
"Baby? Where's my daughter?"
"Daughter?" Roger looked at her in bewilderment, "Prudence, we have son"
Ignoring Roger, Prue quietly began to mutter to herself. "Okay, Prue you handle this. Everything's going to be fine. Piper, Phoebe and Paige are just outside, and Andy's with our daughter" She took a moment to rake a hand through her hair before looking upward and shouting for her two white lighters.
"LEO!! L-E-O! Natalie! Natalie, I command you get your butt here now!"
"Who? Prue?" Roger looked even more bewildered than he had before. It wasn't until the nurse entered the room that his expression changed to somewhat loving heartfelt concern."
"My wife, seems to be a little confused" he stated, letting the nurse check on Prue.
"Wife? No…No…I think you're the one who's confused." Who was that bastard kidding? Roger had cheated on her constantly when they'd been together. "And we don't have a son!"
