Earlier on . . .
Phoebe let out a sigh of frustration as the crystal wasn't picking up where Paige was.
"Of course this won't work; she's not on the earth!" Phoebe said angrily, throwing the crystal down. Leo thought about how to get to the elders. He waved his hand over his face and changed into a different person.
"Okay, maybe this will work." Leo said. Piper snapped out of her trance. She hated the elders so much right now; they better not have killed Paige already. She couldn't stand losing another sister. Her eyes welled up with tears and she grabbed Leo's hand. Phoebe walked over and hugged her sister.
"Don't worry, we won't let her die." Phoebe said softly. Piper nodded and Leo focused hard on orbing to the elders. He felt himself and all of them being lifted up and when they opened their eyes, they were there.
"You did it!" Piper said hugging her husband. Leo grinned weakly and looked around, seeing three robes.
"Here, toss these on. They can't see us, or we'll be in trouble." Piper and Phoebe quickly threw the robes on.
"Hey, these things are comfy!" Phoebe said hugging the robe close.
"Not now Pheebs, we need to get Paige." Piper said. Phoebe nodded and the three of them walked into an area. All the elders were whispering to one another, arguing whether Paige should die or live. Piper shook her head in disgust. These elders were all corrupt. They walked around for a few hours trying to find where Paige was being held. Then the three of them jumped as they heard their little sister's voice.
"He attacked me!" Paige's voice rang in frustration. They saw the doors open and stepped back as Paige was dragged out by two elders. Her hands were behind her back, handcuffed and she looked like she was in pain. Phoebe brushed against one of the elders and gasped as she got a vision. Cole was standing in front of Paige, laughing as he watched the elders set fire to some wood piled at her feet. Phoebe cried out as she saw her sister be engulfed in flames, hearing her sister's screams. Phoebe came out of the trance, shaking and in tears.
"Phoebe, what is it?" Piper asked concernedly. She knew that her sister had just seen something.
"You know that one time when me, you and Prue went to the future and you two watched as I burned?" Phoebe said shakily. Piper closed her eyes trembling. She could never forget that. She and Prue had watched helplessly as their sister was burned for a crime her future self committed.
"I remember." Piper whispered. Phoebe let out a deep breath.
"Well, I saw Cole watching as Paige . . .as she . . . she was burned Piper." Phoebe said shakily.
"I heard her scream . . ." Phoebe closed her eyes, tears welling up. Piper hugged her sister.
"We won't let that happen." Piper said fiercely. They walked over to the court room and saw their sister get seated down roughly. Piper moved to stop them but Leo held her back.
"We can't get noticed, remember." Leo said softly. Piper nodded. They watched as the one guy in the robes went on about how guilty Paige is. He suddenly pulled out a remote and the sister's watched in horror as their sister fell to the ground, crying out in pain. Piper was ticked off. They got a good glimpse of the person doing this to Paige.
"Cole!" Phoebe whispered angrily. She turned to Leo.
"Why aren't they doing anything?" She asked. Leo frowned.
"They must not be able to tell that it's him." Piper barely heard Cole rant about Paige and then watched as her sister was dragged to a wall and tied up. She clenched her fists and rage, wanting to run over and kill Cole. A dark lighter suddenly appeared and looked around.
"Quick, Leo, look away." Piper said worriedly. Leo pulled his hood even closer and the dark lighter looked away. Phoebe watched the dark lighter closely and then jumped as he shot an arrow and it hit Paige. She bit her lip as Paige let out a cry and saw her baby sister bleed. Piper was full blown ticked. She rolled up her sleeves in anger and would have gone storming in if Leo hadn't stopped her.
"No, Piper! Calm down." He said gently. Piper spun around, her temper rising.
"Calm down! My sister just got shot and is bleeding!" She whispered angrily, keeping her voice down.
"Look, the elders are starting to regret this." Leo said, pointing to an elder that walked over to Paige. He placed his hands over her stomach and healed the wound. Paige's head snapped up, but before she could say anything, Cole began talking again. Piper's face was of pure venom as she watched Cole give another speech about taking care of Paige. Another demon appeared and walked over to Paige. Phoebe leaned in anxiously to get a better look and heard her sister mouth off to the demon. She winced.
"Not a good idea Paige." Phoebe thought and saw as the demon whacked Paige hard across the face. This time Phoebe was outraged, and Leo had to struggle to hold her back. They watched as the demon pulled out a knife glowing red.
"Is that a hot knife?" Piper said in disbelief.
"He's not going to . . ." Phoebe said and put a hand over her mouth to keep from crying out. Piper turned away as she heard Paige cry out and when she looked back, Paige had a trail of blood running down her face. The three of them watched helplessly as Paige called out to them and then Piper let out a little scream as the demon drew back the knife and plunged it into her baby sister's stomach. She covered her ears, crying as she heard Paige let out a deafening scream and Phoebe was sobbing quietly.
"That is enough!" An elder said and Piper let out a sigh of relief. Cole spun on his feet, freezing all the elders in the room.
"Piper! Leo, Phoebe! So nice you could join me." Cole said grinning. Piper, Leo and Phoebe walked over to him.
"You are sick." Phoebe spat out and tried to run over to Paige. She hit a barrier and was flung back ten feet.
"Phoebe!" Piper cried, rushing to her sister's side. She helped Phoebe up and they watched as Cole walked over to Paige.
"Remind you of someone?" He said sarcastically and he waved his hand in front of Paige's face. Her face quickly turned into Prue's. Piper let out a sob and fell down. It was hard enough watching Paige being tortured, but now she had to see her other sister's face and watch as Prue died all over again.
"It's just an illusion, Piper." Leo said softly, helping his wife up. Cole waved his hand and Paige's face came back, her head hanging limply. He waved his hand and wood appeared by Paige's feet. Phoebe had a growing feeling of dread that her premonition was about to come true.
