"Did you just say sister?" Phoebe asked.
"Actually half sister" Paige said. "My mom is your mom but I have a different dad. Actually, had a different dad to be correct. I'm dead now"
"Mom's affair with Sam ended up resulting in Paige" Prue whispered hoarsely. "She's half whitelighter, half witch. Since it was forbidden at the time Mom and Sam gave her up for adoption at birth without anyone knowing"
"Wait, Prue how do you know about Paige and not us?" Phoebe asked.
"I figured it out when I was about sixteen" Prue whispered. "I kept dreaming back to the time Mom was pregnant with her and when she gave her up. I realized mom had had another baby and tracked her down. I started making visits to her and told her and her adoptive parents who I was. Grams never knew that I knew about Paige and when you guys first met Sam, I already knew that he was Paige's dad. I just didn't want to hurt you by telling you about Paige after she had died"
Prue started coughing.
"I am also the one who sent you Leila" Paige said. "I am Joyce; I went by another name to help magical kids like Leila. See, after my adoptive parents died, I figured out about my powers and decided to help magical kids. That's actually how I died" Paige said.
Phoebe sighed.
"I can't handle this right now" Phoebe said. "How can you help us get the Book of Shadows?"
"Easy" Paige said. "Book of Shadows"
She held out her hands. The book appeared in her hands. She handed it to Phoebe.
"I have to go now but summon me if you need my help vanquishing Cole or with anything else" Paige said.
She disappeared. Everyone sat there in awe.
"How could you not tell us we had a sister?" Phoebe asked angrily.
"Phoebe, she didn't want to hurt you" Ryan said. "She was protecting you from a whole lot more pain"
Phoebe sighed angrily. She started flipping through the Book of Shadows. Andy helped Prue sit back down on the couch. Andy felt Prue's forehead.
"Prue you're getting warmer" Andy said.
"I think we better take her to lie down on my bed" Victor said. "I'll get her a cold wash cloth"
Andy scooped her up and took her to Victor's bed. Victor put a wash cloth on her forehead.
"Andy I should have told them" Prue whispered. "Now, Piper and Leo are stuck with Cole and Phoebe's mad at me"
"Prue, you did what you thought was best for them" Andy said. "You were only protecting them"
"I have to help them find Piper" Prue whispered.
"No, you can hardly even move right now" Andy said. "You just have to trust Ryan and Phoebe"
"She hates me" Prue whispered.
"No, Prue. No matter what Phoebe could never hate you" Victor said.
At the manor.
"Leo, hold on" Piper said. "Just keep holding on"
Leo laid in pain.
"Phoebe and Prue have the book now" Piper said. "They should be here soon, just hold on"
Cole walked into the room.
"Ow, that looks like it hurts, Leo" Cole said smiling.
"Go to hell" Piper said.
"I'm living it" Cole replied.
"My sister's and I will kill you"
"Before I kill the people you hold dearest to you?" Cole said.
"Shut up" Piper said.
"Now that's no way to talk to your ex brother in law" Cole said.
"How can you kill the person you love and everyone who means anything to her?" Piper asked.
"Easily" Cole said.
"Okay" Phoebe said. "If we use a spell to go invisible and then a cloaking spell on top of that we should be able to get in unnoticed. Then we get Piper and Leo out of there but there's a good chance Cole put an anti orbing thing over the manor"
"We could try a spell to get in there" Ryan said.
"What if he senses us?" Phoebe asked. "We'd need a spell to get out of there quickly"
"I can try a spell with just the power of two" Phoebe said.
"Why don't you summon Paige and make it a power of three spell?" Leila asked.
"Technically it wouldn't be a power of three spell because Piper is the other Charmed One, not Paige" Ryan said.
"I could make a spell using the Twins of the Elements" Phoebe said. "The Elders said they were more powerful than us"
"You could try but we'd be taking a big risk if we went and it didn't work" Ryan said.
"We're always taking risks" Phoebe said.
"Not like this one" Ryan said.
"I can't leave Piper and Leo" Phoebe said.
"All I'm asking is that you find a safe plan to get Piper and Leo" Ryan said. "I just don't want you to get hurt"
"I know, but for all we know, Piper and Leo could be dying right now" Phoebe said. "I can't risk it"
"Fine, write the spell and we'll try it" Ryan said.
"I can help too" Leila said.
"But you'd have to go along and I can't risk it" Phoebe said.
"This is taking to long" Cole said. "I'm just going to have to divide and conquer"
Phoebe, Ryan, and Leila disappeared from Victor's apartment.
"Where are we?" Phoebe asked.
They were in a dark and foggy place.
"I don't know but it looks very bad" Ryan said.
"Mom" Leila said with fear in her voice.
"I'm right here sweetie" Phoebe said hugging Leila and stroking her hair. "Don't worry"
"Um, Phoebe" Ryan said.
Phoebe looked up and saw demons surrounding them.
"This is bad" Phoebe said. "Really bad"
"Leo are you okay?" Piper asked.
"Where are we?" Leo asked in pain.
All around them was fog and darkness.
"I don't know but for some reason I have Patience with me" Piper said.
Leo looked and saw that Piper was now holding Patience.
"We need Ryan to heal you" Piper said. "Ryan!"
There was no answer.
"Uh oh" Piper said.
"What is it?" Leo asked.
Leo looked up to see they were surrounded by a circle of demons.
"I don't think they want to help us" Piper said.
She tried to blow them up. It didn't work so she tried freezing them.
"My powers don't work" Piper said. "Run"
"Prue?" Andy said.
"I'm okay" she whispered hoarsely.
She was standing there holding Aidan.
"Mommy" Andrea said on the verge of tears.
"Don't cry, sweetie" Andy said.
He picked up Ava and Andrea.
It was, dark, wet, and cold.
"This can't be good" Andy said.
Ava and Andrea were crying.
"Try singing to them" Prue whispered. "They like you are my sunshine"
Andy started to sing to them. They quieted down.
"Andy" Prue whispered with panic in her voice.
"What?" Andy asked.
"Demons, lots of demons" Prue said.
She tried to throw them using telekinesis. It didn't work. They started throwing energy balls and fireballs. They dodged behind a tree.
"My powers don't work at all" Prue said hoarsely. "Ava try to send electricity at the demons"
Ava concentrated but nothing happened.
"No work" Ava said.
"Apparently their powers don't work either" Andy said.
"What do we do?" Prue asked.
"Run" Andy said.
"They're surrounding us, how the heck are we going to get through the demons to run?" Prue asked.
"I don't know" Andy said.
"Branch" Prue said grabbing a branch lying on the ground.
"Okay you want us to hold our children while whacking demons with a branch?" Andy asked. "Are you insane?"
"You got a better idea?" Prue asked.
"No" Andy said. "I think you should stay here with the kids and I'll fight the demons. I don't think you should push yourself'
"Fine" Prue said sitting down. "But if I see that you're not doing well I'm coming to help"
"Fine" Andy said.
He took the branch and started fighting the demons. Three demons shimmered in behind him. Prue tried to warn him but she could only whisper.
"Andrea and Ava stay here with your brother" Prue said. "Don't move and don't make a sound"
Andrea and Ava did as they were told. Prue grabbed another branch. She stabbed the demons behind Andy right as they were about to throw a fireball.
"Thanks" Andy said.
"You really thought I was going to let you take all the credit" Prue said smiling.
Andy smiled. They continued ducking fireballs and fighting demons. Prue looked over to where she had left the kids. A demon was heading over there. Prue shoved through demons and started whacking the demon heading towards the kids.
"Don't… Mess… With a mother" Prue said while hitting the demon.
She turned to start fighting the other demons.
"Duck!" Andy yelled.
Prue did just in time to miss a fireball. It hit the branch she was holding catching it on fire.
"Thank you" Prue said.
She lit the demon on fire.
"Ow, ow, ow" Phoebe said. "I twisted my ankle, ow"
"Let me see" Ryan said.
"Are you sure the demons haven't followed us?" Leila asked.
"Yes we're sure" Phoebe said.
She sat down. Ryan looked at her ankle.
"It might be a minor sprain, nothing serious" Ryan said.
"Well it hurts, can you heal it?" Phoebe asked.
Ryan tried, nothing happened.
"I'm guessing since your powers don't work, mine don't either" Ryan said.
"Great" Phoebe said.
"Where are we?" Leila asked.
"I have no idea but I can bet its Cole's doing" Phoebe said. "Which means we can be expecting a visit from him"
Phoebe started rubbing her ankle. Her hand brushed against her scar. She instantly was hit with a premonition.
Piper and Leo were standing in the middle of a lot of demons. Piper was holding Patience and Leo was bent over in pain. It was a dark and foggy place similar to where Phoebe, Ryan, and Leila were. The scene changed. Prue and Andy were fighting demons. Over by a tree Andrea, Ava, and Aidan were hiding. A demon was heading towards them. Prue hit him with a branch and knocked him out. The premonition ended.
"Phoebe?" Ryan said. "Phoebe what did you see?"
"Piper, Leo, and Patience. They were surrounded by demons in a place similar to where we just were. Leo's hurt, I'm pretty sure he's been shot by a darklighter" Phoebe said. "Then it changed to Prue and Andy. They were fighting demons with tree branches. They had Andrea, Ava, and Aidan hiding by a tree. I don't know if that was the past or present"
"I'm guessing Cole sent each of you and your families to different astral planes. He's probably using the divide and conquer plan but he forgot one thing" Ryan said.
"What?" Leila asked.
"That love conquers all" Phoebe said smiling.
"Okay, remain calm, Piper" Piper said to herself. "Think, what can you do? Running is a good option"
She help Leo stand up and went for shelter behind a large boulder.
"Leo listen to me, just keep holding on, for Patience" Piper said. "I'm going to set her right next to you, Leo. You watch her and keep her safe. That means you can't let go, you have to stay here, for your daughter and for me"
Piper laid Patience next to Leo. She wiped tears from her eyes. She grabbed a branch and some rocks.
"Be careful" Leo said in pain.
Piper started attacking the demons and dodging fireballs and energy balls. Leo slowing began to lose consciousness when a demon appeared next to Patience.
"Leave my daughter alone" Leo said.
The demon formed an energy ball. Leo used all of his strength to throw himself at the demon.
He reached for a branch and whacked the demon on the head, knocking him unconscious.
