Different Paths Part 46:
Waking
--------------------
Prue watched the scene. She saw all their worried faces. She saw herself floating in the air, tossing very, very uncomfortably around. She knew she saw the scene from just seconds ago... this way her surroundings got part of her visions...
"Oh dad... why did you call them? Or did they find out?"
Prue asked. Tears were still floating down her cheeks. The previous scenes were still hanging deep on her. Andy's death. The fact that it indeed was her fault. Prue shook her head. She needed to calm down. She had to make them less worried. somehow. They had to go away. She needed them to go away. They couldn't be close to her. Not now. Not today. Not on the 6th August.

"She calmed..."
Andy finally said, but still continued to watch her. He didn't take his eyes off of Prue. She'd wake. She saw the last vision. She had to wake now.
"Why isn't she waking?"
Andy asked
"this emotions... it were... it was about my death... I've seen her often enough in this state over this... the date of my death was the last she can see... so why the hell doesn't she wake!"
"Cause she maybe is supposed to see more..."
Cole said. Andy closed his eyes tightly, trying to suppress his anger, but wasn't blessed with too much success. He got up and grabbed Cole by the collar
"okay... I'm sick of this... what the hell do you know we don't?"
he yelled at him
"Andy!"
the rest exclaimed, almost out of one mouth. Victor went up to them and tried to pull Andy away from Cole. Cole helped and shimmered out of his grip.
"Andy... calm down... he doesn't necessarily has to know more... I mean... it stood in the book that this... quest... won't end before the person, casting it, hasn't seen all, he or she is supposed to see."
"Then why does he always make such weird comments?"
Andy asked. Victor still held him back, feeling how the worry got Andy mad. He knew he was not only worried but also mad... and since he at the moment couldn't be mad at Prue, cause he was worried about her, his anger had to turn to someone else.
"Honey... what do you know?"
Phoebe asked. She was Andy's opinion. Cole wouldn't have said those things, if he didn't know something.
"I... I'm not sure... if this... really exists... I mean..."
"Cole... just spill it"
Piper said staying the voice of sanity
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Prue watched closely as the scene continued. She saw how upset Andy was... how his emotions were higher than any tide could be. She would have looked away, but by that time already knew she'd continue to see it anyway. She sat up more as Cole started to speak again
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
"There's this... legacy going on in the underworld... there supposingly had been a demon, who got one of your ancestors cursed. The curse said that the first sibling in this blood line shall suffer extreme hard times. He thought, the charmed ones could never exist... if... the first sibling... the oldest... would suffer a whole lot of bad luck... so by the time the children, which are supposed to be charmed, would became dangerous to demons and other evil beings, if not all... then at least one... would be dead already. Prue somehow... must have managed to... survive... you guys must have managed to survive... I... didn't say something earlier... because... it's a legacy... no one believes in it anymore... especially, cause you three... or better four are all still alive... I don't know more... but... there probably could be more in the book... your grandmother must have known about it as well... maybe she did something..."
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
"That's what Grams and mom talked about... that's the curse... I'm cursed so the charmed ones will never exist...
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
"Maybe the four years thing is from... from Grams... so not every year or even worse every day would happen something... and... 4 is kind of obvious... 4 sisters..." Paige said...
"Wait a second... are... are you saying..."
"That everything which happened... for example four years ago was Prue's fault?"
phoebe asked. Paige nodded.
"This is ridiculous"
Andy said.
"No it's not... Andy... she said she didn't want you to know... she wanted to protect you... so then it's true... she's scared the same thing as last year will happen..."
Victor said. Andy starred at Victor and then looked at Prue.
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Prue was breathing heavily. They knew. Something would happen to them. She didn't know what. She didn't know how to protect them. She just knew, something would happen. She started to hyperventilate and her world went black
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Andy noticed Prue's irregular breath and then saw her sinking down to the bed
"Prue..."
he said gently and walked back up to the bed. Finally one of his hands was able to fall to her face, into her hair. With the other he held her hand
"Prue... honey... wake up..."
he said gently and indeed, after hours of being in the same floating status, Prue finally opened her eyes. She looked at the faces of her beloved and then gasped... backing away from Andy
"no! No! You... you guys need to leave... go away... take the girls away... you need to get away..."
she said, again starting to hyperventilate...
"Dad... bring them... make them safe... get them away... please... daddy... please..."
"Prue... it's okay..."
Andy tried to approach her, but Prue pulled away
"no! Nonononono! No... Dad..."
Victor went up to the bed and tried to calm Prue down. She was completely hysterical
"make them go... get them somewhere safe... please daddy... please... you... they... I'm cursed... something... will happen... today... make them go... make them go... please..."
Andy just watched speechless. He couldn't go. He wouldn't.
"It's okay... Prue... calm down... it's okay... I will... I promise... I'll make sure they're safe... don't worry... shshshsh..."
Prue didn't calm on his tries she just tried to hide in his arms
"make them go... they need to be safe... please... I'm cursed... please daddy... make them go... they... they need to be safe..."
Prue repeated very fast over and over again. Victor just looked up at piper for help. They all knew, Prue wouldn't stop until they were at least out of the room and it seemed like Piper was the only one still somewhat clear.
"Okay... umm... let's go... leave them alone for a while"
Piper said and Paige, Phoebe and Cole reacted immediately. Andy stayed at his place and still tried to somehow help Prue. To at least hold her hand. But she always would jump scared back from his touch.
"Andy... c'mon..."
"No!"
Andy yelped
"I'm not going anywhere..."
"Andy... please..."
"No. I'm not going. You understand, Prue!"
he asked in a serious voice, looking at her
"Andy... please... this has no use... c'mon... let her calm down..."
"No!"
Prue just closed her eyes tightly and tried to cover her ears as well. She still heard Andy and wanted it to stop so badly and suddenly a force pulled on Andy and he flew out of the room and also the apartment, after him the door of Victor's apartment shut. Piper looked shocked and then fast left as well. After several more minutes, Prue at least seemed somewhat calm and clear
"okay... c'mon... drink some water"
Victor told her. And helped her drink some of a glass.
"You... need to go too... I'm... today's 6th August... something will happen to you if you stay with me..."
Victor wanted to say 'no', but didn't want to end up like Andy
"okay... you call if you need me, okay?"
Prue nodded slightly. Victor just kissed her forehead and left
"how's she?"
"I'm worried... but... she sent me out now as well... she's very scared..."
"She'll not do something to herself, right?"
"No..."
Victor said a little too fats, even for his opinion
"I at least I Hope so... considering how hysteric she's right about now."
he added and sighted
"dad... do you remember anything about this curse?"
"No... I guess your grandma didn't want me to know... because I already was enough against all of this... magic thing... especially after the first attack on Prue..."
"Cole... do you know something about how... to break the curse?"
Phoebe asked, but Cole just shook his head.
"Anything in the book?"
Piper called over to Paige
"nope... it seems like Grams doesn't want us to see the page..."
Paige answered. Andy juts stood at Victor's huge windows. He starred outside. Onto San Francisco. He couldn't believe this was happening. He didn't move nor speak. He just starred outside. It was taking him very hard, that Prue just pushed him back like this. Even used her powers on him, what she never had done before. This was so unreal. Prue didn't talk to him. Didn't want him at her side. He couldn't protect her. Couldn't stand by her side in this hard time. He'd like it more, if he'd get killed again than this. Everything was better than this.

AN:
PrUe AnD AnDy: you should read chapter 36 and 37 once more.
prue did have horrible nightmares the sooner it was getting to the day andy died, what was 6th october 1999. she had a bad feeling on that day sth would happen. the nightmares kept her up like permanently and she was in a very bad mood cause she barely slept. her family got worried and so she decided to take things in her own hands... and that's why she made the vision quest. i thought it was clear after all the things i wrote... but it seems like things are not clear, so i haveedit chapter 36 and added some special scenes to it...
