A/N: C'mon people, review! I know you want too...
CHAPTER TWO
The orbs vanished and the Halliwells found themselves in an alley.
"Sense anything?" Piper asked. Phoebe stepped in front of her, trying to pick out emotions.
"Shh…" Pam said. She had her eyes closed, separating the thoughts of everyone around. She heard a man's voice in her head.
"There they are," the voice thought. "And the pregnant witch is wide open for attack…"
Suddenly a nearby dumpster morphed into a rugged, dirty looking man. Everyone recognized him as Edzin, as they had seen his picture in the Book. An energy ball formed in his hands, but for some reason it was green…
Pam realized from what she'd heard that he was about to attack Phoebe. "Mom!" she shouted as Edzin tossed the ball. Pam lunged at her mother, pushing her to the ground. The energy ball barely missed them, but it continued traveling through the air. Before Piper could react, it hit her square in the chest. She went flying back and slammed against a brick wall.
"Piper!" Paige said, running over to her. Phoebe and Pam followed. They helped her sit up, and she had a large gash on her head.
"Oh God," Phoebe gasped at the bloody sight. Edzin approached them. He formed another green energy ball in his hand. "Okay Piper, blow him up!"
Piper outstretched her arms, but something was wrong. Her hands and fingers wouldn't move, and her power didn't work because of it.
"What's going on?" Pam asked.
"I don't know," Phoebe said. Edzin hurled the energy ball, but Paige deflected it. "Okay, throw the potion!" Paige did so. Edzin burst into flames.
"Okay, let's get you home," Paige said. She orbed everyone back to the Manor.
"Leo!" Phoebe called as soon as they landed.
He walked in from the kitchen. "Piper!" he said as he knelt down beside her and placed his hands over her wound. Phoebe looked over at the stairs, where Wyatt was standing. She was going to ask him to go upstairs, but remembered that he could handle this by now. He'd seen his parents been attacked thousands of times. When she looked back at Leo, there was no familiar golden glow coming from his hands.
"What's happening? Why isn't it working?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't know," Leo replied.
"Okay, Wyatt, come here!" Phoebe instructed. Wyatt rushed down the stairs and placed his hands over his mother's head. He couldn't heal her either.
"What's going on?" Paige asked, starting to panic.
"I don't think the Elders will allow us to heal her," Leo said.
"What?" Pam asked. "Why not?"
"We're not supposed to," Leo replied.
"They want you to let her die?" Pam asked.
"Uh, let's not think about that now," Phoebe advised. "Orb her to the hospital, we'll catch up."
Leo nodded and he and Piper left. Now everyone was scared. What in the world was going on?
"This can't be happening," Phoebe said, the fear evident in her voice.
