Ok, here is the next chapter. Only 2 more after this. Hope people are still reading this.
Chapter 32-Resurrection
"Leo, how could you let her do that? She was your charge," the head Elder blamed Leo.
Everybody's eyes were fixed upon the youngest Charmed One, who lay in a heap, not moving.
"It was her choice," Leo told them. "She didn't want to live without them. If anyone is to blame for her death, it's you. You have forgotten what it is like to be human, to love. They weren't just threats or exposure risks, they were people, her family. She loved them more than life itself and when you took them away, she just gave up."
The Elders just stood there not believing what they had heard come from Leo's mouth.
"Bring her back," Leo ordered them. "Without her, the balance is tipped on the side of evil and I know you don't want that."
"I am sure that the remaining Charmed Ones can handle it," the Elder told him.
The Elder raised his hand and as he did so, Leo turned into blue orbs and disappeared.
"Leo, where is Pheobe? How could you leave her up there with them?" Prue asked, outraged.
"She's dead," Leo said.
"They killed her? Orb me up there!" Prue screamed, her eyes filled with tears.
"No, they didn't. She killed herself," Leo told her. "And I can't orb. I'm not an Elder or a white-lighter anymore."
"No, Pheobe would never do that. You're covering for them, aren't you?" Prue screamed at him, masking her grief with anger.
"Prue!" Leo yelled in an attempt to break her free of the emotions she was lost in.
After a few moments, Prue's tears subsided and she started to talk in a clear manner.
"Why didn't you stop her? You were there," Prue asked.
"I couldn't. It was what she wanted," Leo explained.
"So, I've lost a brother, a nephew, and now a sister. How are we supposed to live with that?" Prue asked as she began to cry again.
Piper, hearing talking in the attic, walked in.
"What's wrong? Where's Pheobe?" Piper asked as she looked at Prue.
"Dead," Prue answered.
"What? That means that we're a Charmed One short. When the demons find out, we're dead. How are we going to protect ourselves . . . and the boys? Leo, get your ass up their and make the Elders bring her back," Piper demanded.
"I can't. They clipped my wings," Leo told her.
"Then we're screwed. We have no communication with the Elders, no Charmed Ones. We're sitting ducks," Piper said.
Prue was now sitting on the couch deep in thought.
"I think I know how to get Pheobe back. While we were waiting for Leo to come back, she wrote a spell to take us 'up there' incase Leo decided not to orb her," Prue said, trying to sound hopeful as she flipped through a notebook in search of the spell.
After about a minute of searching, Prue finally found what she was looking for.
"Got it," she said in victory as she ripped it out of the notebook.
"Prue, look out!" Piper screamed as a demon shimmered in behind her.
Before Prue had enough time to react, she was thrown into the wall.
"Blow him up!" Prue yelled as she struggled to stand.
Piper raised her hands, but her power didn't even phase the demon.
"Stupid witch. You're no match for me now," he said with a smug grin on his hideous face.
In a second, Piper found herself against the wall, bleeding.
"Leo, the boys," Piper said before blacking out.
Prue was finally able to stand and was now trying to knock the demon out using everything she could. She tried knocking him into the wall, but her powers only pushed him back a few inches.
Knowing that Wyatt would orb Leo and Chris to Magic School, Prue grabbed the piece of paper off the floor and ran to where Piper was. She held onto her sister's hand and recited the spell praying that it would work.
The demon was advancing on them and Prue said the spell faster. After the third time reciting the spell, both of them disappeared, barely missing the energy that had been hurled at them.
Prue breathed a sigh of relief as she noticed their white surroundings. She carefully tried to wake her sister who was still unconscious, but after not being able to do that, she decided to leave her there and search for an Elder who could heal Piper and hopefully bring back Pheobe.
Of course since they were 'up there', an Elder wasn't hard to find, and in a minute Piper had been healed.
"You have to bring her back. Without her, we'll die and evil will win out. Demons already know that Pheobe is dead, and they're going to keep coming after us until they kill us," Prue pleaded, desperate.
It took a couple of hours, but finally Prue had succeeded in convincing a few Elders to revive her. When enough of them pooled their powers together, it would be possible to revive a mortal and they did so.
The heap that lay on the floor slowly began to stir and Pheobe Halliwell-Turner stood up.
Ok, tell me what you think. I wasn't too fond of this chapter, but it was necessary and I think I'm being way too nice to Leo. It's freaking me out.
