Sand of Time

Part III

Rescuing Phoebe Part I

A/n: OMG I am soooo sorry! I have been really caught up and have no t had any time whatsoever to do my fic! I will probably not be able to work on my next fic for a while. Well here is this. It is really short, and they don't really do anything, but I wanted to get this out there cuz the next one will have more. SO, yeah. If you review, please be sensitive that I have a really tight schedule and I Don't exactly have time for this.

Disclaimer: Do I have time for this? No, I don't own charmed.

After checking to make sure Paige was completely unharmed, Piper started examining the hourglass to check for instructions.

"Piper, there isn't going to be instructions. A demon gave it to you, not the local pharmacy or whatever." Said Paige picking at a forming scab, "Why don't you just try to like…turn it over,"

Piper heaved a great sigh, "Well, what if it takes me forward in time instead of backwards? It would eat up my minutes to save everyone,"

"It won't…I guess it knows how many minutes or whatever." Paige informed Piper.

"Hour glasses have minutes?"

"When was the last time you played a board game? Remember, the sand falls down and you have to roll the dice, or in this case save the rest of your family," informed Paige. She beganclicking her fingernails at the timer, though nothing happened, "maybe I should just flip it over,"

"Don't break it!"

"I won't!" Cried Paige, "now here is the plan. Well about three or four hours ago Phoebe was captured and then killed. If we set the glass for about 4 hours, intervene, and save her-"

"-I think it was 3 hours-" Piper informed Paige.

"-Sounds good. Now, allow me to see the hour glass please," Said Paige trying to sound French adding a flourish at the "me" Piper handed the hour glass to Paige with reluctance.

Paige stared into the sands but saw nothing but her reflection, "We should just flip it over. It's a timer and if it brought you from the future back, then it should bring us back. Simple enough?"

"I guess. You flip it. I am, to afraid to." Piper said holding a hand to her head to attempt to stop the confusion.

Paige took the hourglass in both hands. Piper grabbed the sleeve of her shirt so she wouldn't be left in the present.

"Sand of Time! Help us rescue Phoebe!" Shouted Paige as if this were a spell. She threw her closed hands above her head, and brought them down, turning the hour glass. Slowly her hands felt an icy sting, making her quickly let go. Paige stepped backwards, making Piper be flung backwards, making Piper get a horrid whiplash. The hourglass began to shake the table and soon it opened a big circle of swirling blacks and deep, dark blues.

"What do we do?" Phoebe yelled over the noise of the shaking hourglass and the noise the swirl was making.

"I think we jump in it!" Paige shouted with glee. She really wanted to get revenge on the demon who decided that he was going to lock up Paige Matthews!

"Are you insane?" Piper replied in shock.

"Hey, it's your hourglass, I just suggest stuff!"

Piper was about to suggest that they just firget about the whole plan, then a memory ran into Piper's vision. It was Phoebe, when she was at the guillotine. Piper remember who pleading look as if she was saying Please help. Piper couldn't let her down anymore than she already has. She ran forward and flung herself into the swirling dark portal, head first.

"Wait what!" Paige shouted once Piper had disappeared into the mysterious portal.Then with great hesitation, she did the same…straight into the portal.

Paige and Piper landed on their butts. As soon as their stamina rebuilt, they stood. Around them the room was the same as before Phoebe and Paige was captured. Everything was exactly as it was before, only Paige's burn cream was no longer on the counter. Talking could be heard in the other room.

"well now what?" Paige wondered aloud to Piper,

"Don't worry Paigey, We will find her…to the underworld!" Immediately Piper clung to Paiges arms as she separated into thousands of orbs, as they proceeded to the underworld.

Piper opened her eyes to the infamous red glow of the numerous torches.

A/N: yeah, yeah…I know it was really lame. The dialog was horrible and it was hecka short. Two words for ya: WRITERS BLOCK
