Four hours later.
Prue started coughing as Andy took out the last demon. She kept coughing for a couple more minutes.
"Are you okay?" Andy asked.
Prue looked up at him. Her face was pale and she had lost her voice. She could hardly stand up. Andy caught her as she started to fall.
"You better come sit down" Andy said.
He led her to the tree and rested her up against it.
"The kids" Prue whispered hoarsely.
"They're fine" Andy said.
He took his jacket he was wearing and wrapped it around Prue.
"Try to go to sleep" Andy said. "I'll wake you up if anything happens"
"No" Prue whispered.
She could hardly keep her eyes open.
"Yes" Andy said. "You need sleep"
She quickly fell asleep. Andy sat on the ground and picked up Aidan.
"You guys were very brave" Andy said. "You guys might have to help Daddy because Mommy doesn't feel good"
"Phoebe, Piper" Prue mumbled in her sleep.
"I have to find a way out of here" Andy said. "Or at least find Piper or Phoebe"
"You won't find them" Cole said from behind him. "How does it feel to have your wife always protecting you? That your two year old daughters and four month old son are stronger then you"
"It's not true so he wouldn't know" Prue said hoarsely waking up. "Being mortal doesn't mean you're weak. Besides you're half mortal"
"The sick witch awakens" Cole said. "I bet your not feeling so good right now, are you?"
"Go to hell" Prue said.
"Now see, Piper told me the exact same thing. You both have such fiery tempers" Cole said. "That can't be good for your health"
"If you hurt any of my family I will make sure that you feel the pain of every death you've ever caused" Prue said.
"Ouch, to bad you don't have your powers" Cole said.
"That won't stop me" Prue said.
Cole laughed.
"I have the entire underworld working for me. I have demons that have triple the power of any demon you've ever vanquished. Not to mention I'm invincible" Cole said. "I want to see the entire Halliwell family suffer. I won't rest until I do. Every single one of you is going to suffer until you die"
Cole shimmered out.
"We have to figure out a way to get out of here" Andy said. "And find your sisters"
Prue was quiet for a moment.
"Paige" Prue whispered.
"What?" Andy asked.
"Okay, you know how to start a fire, right?" Prue asked.
"Yeah" Andy said.
"Okay get six twigs and light them on fire in a circle" Prue whispered.
Andy gathered the twigs and set them on fire. Prue said the summoning spell. Paige appeared in the circle.
"You rang" Paige said. "I have a surprise"
She stepped out of the circle and became whole.
"The Elders panicked when they heard the Charmed Ones and Twins of Elements went missing so they said I can help. One of you just had to summon me for it to happen" Paige said.
"Can you orb?" Prue asked.
"I should, I guessed you guys wouldn't have your powers so I put a charm on myself to protect my powers" Paige said.
Andy stood there.
"I haven't really introduced myself" Paige said. "Paige Matthews or Halliwell, either one. You might have seen me by Patty a lot when you died"
"I thought you looked familiar" Andy said.
"Okay, back to business" Prue whispered hoarsely.
"Yes, orb to Piper or Phoebe" Paige said. "Problem, I have no idea where they are"
"Wait, can't you orb things to you?" Andy said.
"Yeah" Paige said. "But not people"
"I know but if you can orb objects to you by saying them. Can't you orb yourself to objects by saying" Andy said.
"Only it would be people, not objects" Prue said.
"I could try" Paige said.
"It's worth a shot" Andy said.
"I have a feeling we should get to Piper first" Prue said.
"You can't break your promise now" Piper said crying. "You've been holding on, you don't have to stop now"
"I'm sorry" Leo said weakly.
Piper leaned to give him one last kiss.
"Piper! Leo!" Andy shouted.
"Andy?" Piper said.
He was holding Aidan and Prue was standing beside him. The girls were standing in between them. Along with them was a girl with dark brunette hair and dark brown eyes. Prue saw she was crying and looked down at Leo.
"Paige, Leo" Prue said.
Paige ran over to him and started healing him. Leo sat up. Piper hugged him.
"Who are you?" Piper asked.
"I'll tell you later" Paige said. "Right now we have to get Phoebe"
They helped Leo stand up. Piper picked up Patience. Prue started coughing so hard she fell down.
"Prue" Andy said.
He helped her stand back up.
"Are you sure whitelighters can't heal her?" Andy asked. "I think this qualifies as an emergency"
"I can't" Paige said. "Even if I tried it wouldn't work"
"Just get to Phoebe" Prue whispered. "I'll be fine"
She leaned against Andy.
"Let's find Phoebe so we can get out of here" Piper said.
Everyone grabbed hands and Paige orbed them to Phoebe.
"Piper, Prue" Phoebe said.
Piper hugged Phoebe.
"I just took out one hundred demons with a branch and some rocks" Piper said.
"So did we" Andy said.
"I know" Phoebe said. "I had a premonition of you guys and that's what you were doing"
"Okay, nobody's injured, right?" Ryan asked.
"Besides my sore ankle, it doesn't look like it" Phoebe said.
"Um, Paige, can you orb us back to Victor's apartment" Andy said.
"Just call me a magical taxi" Paige said.
"So, you're another whitelighter?" Piper asked.
"Kind of" Paige said. "I'll explain at Victor's apartment"
"You know our dad" Piper said.
"By acquaintance" Paige said.
Phoebe quickly remembered she was mad at Prue but forgave her when she saw her struggling to even stand up. She went over and helped her.
"Thanks" Prue said.
"Thank you" Phoebe said. "For protecting me"
Paige orbed everyone to Victor's apartment.
"Where did you guys go?" Victor asked.
"Long story" Phoebe said. "Cole sent each family to different astral planes"
"Didn't I just see you and you were dead? Victor asked looking at Paige.
"You should know by now Halliwells don't stay dead long" Paige said.
"Halliwells?" Piper said puzzled. "You're related to us?"
"She's our half sister" Phoebe said. "I just found out this morning from Prue. She knew about her since she was sixteen. She went looking for her and found her living with her adoptive parents"
"My real parents are your mom and her whitelighter, Sam. It was forbidden at that time for witches and whitelighters to be in love, much less have a child together" Paige said. "So they gave me up at birth"
"When I was sixteen I started dreaming back to when Mom was pregnant and when she gave her up. Once I realized Mom had had another kid I started looking for her and when I found her I told her who I was and I started visiting her" Prue said. "A couple weeks after we learned about our powers I visited her. That was the last time I saw her alive"
"A demon had killed me" Paige said. "After my adoptive parents died when I was seventeen I figured out my powers. I decided to help other magical kids, specifically ones who were homeless. I went under a fake name, Joyce. A demon figured out that I was saving a kid they wanted to turn evil, so they killed me"
"I didn't tell you about Paige because I didn't want to hurt you and Phoebe" Prue said. "I didn't even tell Grams I knew about Paige"
Piper stood there staring.
"Um so what are you doing here if you're dead?" Piper asked.
"Helping" Paige said. "The Elders sent me to get you out of the astral planes; I just needed someone to summon me"
"Are you going to help us with Cole?" Phoebe asked.
"If they let me" Paige said. "They didn't even know I was Patty and Sam's child until Prue told Phoebe this morning"
"Mom and Sam aren't in trouble, are they?" Prue asked.
"No" Paige said. "They paid their price by having to give me up"
"I think we should focus on killing Cole right now" Prue said.
"And you are going to lose your voice if you don't stop talking" Piper said. "Why don't you sleep, you look exhausted. Besides, you're going to need your rest if you're going to vanquish Cole"
"Fine but wake me up in an hour" Prue said.
"We will" Piper said.
Prue went and laid on Victor's bed.
"Dad why don't you go stay with Prue" Piper said.
"I don't think that's a good idea if you want her to sleep" Victor said.
"Dad, she doesn't really hate you" Phoebe said. "She just doesn't show love very easily"
"Fine but I don't think this is a good idea" Victor said.
Victor went into his bedroom.
"Okay, think, how can we vanquish someone who's basically invincible?" Phoebe asked.
"Before it took the power of three, a vanquishing potion, the Twins of the Elements, and all of the power from the Warren line" Piper said. "I don't think you can find more power than that"
"Maybe if we have the entire side of good help us it would work" Leila said. "After all if we could get the Elders to work with us, they brought Prue back from the dead"
"With a little help" Paige said.
"Oh, um, thank you" Piper said.
"I know you guys don't know me" Paige said. "And I'm not asking you to ever love me like a sister but I'm asking you to please not blame Prue for not telling you about me. All Prue ever wants to do is protect you, she even asked me to help her protect you after I died. She was my role model growing up, she was so strong and she would tell me about you guys and show me pictures of you. She always said you Piper, were one of the most if not the most caring and kind people she'd ever met. She said that for a while you got a little lost but one day you'd find your way past what people thought of you. Phoebe was the person I liked hearing stories about the most. Prue always said that you were crazy and fun and that sometimes she wished she could be a little more like you. When you started rebelling Prue said that you just needed some time to yourself to figure out that troublemaking and drinking weren't ways to escape the past. She always had so much patience with me. She actually was the one who taught me to ride a bike without training wheels. I really liked it when she brought over a home video of Phoebe's tenth birthday"
Phoebe smiled.
"Someone knocked over the cake so she baked another cake. The kitchen was a mess and Prue video taped the process. Then she set the smoke alarm off with the candles. Then when I fell and hit my knee and some of the kids laughed when I cried she told them she punch their faces out not knowing that Piper was video taping" Phoebe said. "The birthday party was a complete disaster but Prue made it fun"
I remember that" Piper said smiling.
"So you knew about us?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah" Paige said. "I asked her why you guys didn't come to see me and she said that you weren't allowed too"
Phoebe sat looking at the floor for a minute.
"We should really get back to vanquishing Cole" Phoebe said. "He might try to attack again"
"Maybe we should summon Mom and Grams to help" Piper said. "That is a lot of power"
"We could have the Elders help" Paige said. "They want the world to survive then they'll have to help"
"Okay so the Elders, Grams, Mom, Paige, the entire good magical community, the Twins of the Elements, and the Charmed Ones" Piper said. "I hate to say this but I don't think that will be enough"
"What about what you sent me to them for?" Leila asked.
"That would work" Paige said.
"What would work?" Phoebe asked.
"What is the greatest power of all?" Paige asked.
"Love" Ryan said.
"We use our love to destroy him?" Piper asked. "How?"
"Just write a spell to help use the power of your love for your soul mate and if your heart is open it should work" Paige said.
"I'll go check with the Elders and see what they think of the plan" Leo said.
"Since when do we check with the Elders about our plans?" Phoebe asked.
"Since they included them" Leo said.
"Good point" Phoebe said. "Orb away"
Leo orbed out.
