Chapter 10 – Fight

"I love you too." Prue whispered, as the line on Piper's heart monitor went flat.

The sisters clung to each other as they were pushed aside.

"Full arrest!" The doctor yelled. "Paddles!" Someone brought the paddle machine to him, as the sisters sobbed.

"Charging ... Clear!" He pressed them to Piper's chest, and jerked them off again, but nothing changed.

"Recharge!"

"Recharging ..."

"Clear!" He did the same again, and as Prue, Phoebe and Paige watched, breathless, terrified, a loud 'beep ... beep ... beep ...' filled the room.

"She's back." The doctor breathed.

The sisters sobbed with relief, and fear - Piper was still unconsious.

Several minutes later the doctor turned to the sisters. "She's stable, for now ... but she's slipped into a coma." He explained.

"What does that mean?" Prue demanded.

"It means she's alive ... but we can't pull her out of it. Piper has to fight her way through it."

Phoebe's legs gave away, she fell towards the ground and Paige grabbed her, struggled to pull her up and hold her there.

Prue was staring at Piper, the steady beep swimming around her brain.

"She can do it." She told the room quietly. "She will do it."

Later, in Piper's room.

Phoebe and Paige were on either side of Piper's bed, talking to her softly. Prue – who had been and called the neighbour Patty was staying with - was pacing near the door.

"Leo!" She yelled suddenly, angrily, and Paige and Phoebe turned as he orbed in.

"What?" He orbed in with his back to Piper, Phoebe and Paige, so his gaze fell on Prue.

"Where were you?" She said coldly.

"With a charge." Leo replied, a little confused. "He nearly died."

"So did Piper." Prue said in the same cold, hard voice.

"What?" He spun round, saw her, laid on the bed, hooked up to machines.

"What happened?" He croaked.

"Dan happened." Prue replied.

"We called you." Paige said. There were tears on her face. "But you didn't come."

"I ... didn't know. My charge -"

"Is more important than Piper?" Prue challenged.

"No! I didn't know!" He stepped towards the bed.

"Get out of here." Prue said, stepping in front of him.

"What? No! Prue, I -"

"Get out of here!" She yelled, her voice high, unnatural.

"Prue ..." Phoebe said weakly.

"He wasn't there when we needed him, when she needed him. He has no right to be here." Prue said coldly. "Get out of here, Leo."

Leo looked at Piper. How could he leave her? Couldn't Prue see how much he was hurting?

"Leave!" She screamed.

She was hurting too, and he was making it worse.

"I – I'm sorry." With that he orbed out.

Prue sat on the edge of Piper's bed, tears streaming down her face.

"Piper, honey, can you here me?" She said softly. "I love you, Piper, we love you. Wake up, sweetie, you can do it."

Nothing.

Prue picked up Piper's hand.

"Piper, listen to me. I know you can hear me, I know you can pull out of this."

Prue looked down, her eyes wide with shock.

"She squeezed my hand!"

"What?"

"My hand, she squeezed it. Piper! Piper!"

"I ... love you ..." Piper murmured.

"Did you hear that?" Phoebe said excitedly.

Paige ran to the door, came back with a nurse.

"She – she squeezed my hand, said she loved us." Prue stated.

The nurse pulled Piper's eyelids up, shined that little light in them.

"I'm sorry, nothing's changed."

"But she – she -" Prue protested.

"I'm sorry." The nurse left, and Prue sat back down.

"What do they know, huh, Piper? You can do this. You beat Dan once. Come on."

Nothing.

Several hours later, as the room darkened, one by one the sisters fell asleep, slumped over Piper.

Paige first, then Phoebe, and, several hours later, Prue.

Leo orbed in, quietly walked over to Piper's bed.

"Piper ..."
