The Power Of Two Will Have To Do
The next morning Prue came down the stairs and found Cole lying on the sofa. He woke up just as she sat on the chair and switched on the TV.
"How comes your on the sofa?" asked Prue looking at Cole.
"Phoebe locked the door last night and I didn't want to upset her more so I just came down here."
"She'll be ok, she just needs time on her own," said Prue standing up, she headed towards the kitchen, stopped in the doorway and faced Cole. "Would you like some breakfast?"
"Yeah ok," said Cole heading out to the kitchen with Prue.
Upstairs Phoebe was looking through her wardrobe she picked out her blue jeans and a light pink top, on the top there was a small shape made from little diamonds, she loved this top because the diamonds were her initials P.H. She also loved this top because Piper had a top exactly the same except hers was a light blue colour. Once she had got dressed she left her room as she walked to the top of the stairs she glanced at Piper's bedroom door. Phoebe walked down the stairs, as she reached the bottom she stood in the doorway to the kitchen.
"Hiya Pheebs," said Prue smiling.
Phoebe turned around and ran back up the stairs, she went in Piper's room found her light blue top and lay down on her bed. She missed her sister so much even though she had only been gone a day.
Phoebe was taking Piper's leaving very hard and couldn't bear to even go into the kitchen where Cole and Prue were. Even when Prue had called her 'Pheebs' she got upset because that was what Piper called her.
Down in the Seer's lair Piper was practicing using her new power.
"So what's this power called?" asked Piper throwing out her arm, "I mean I already have the powers of temporal stasis and molecular combustion."
"Your new power is called pyrokinesis," said the Seer pouring some tonic into a glass, "here you go drink this."
Piper took the glass, as she held it to her lips her hand threw it across the room.
"I'm sorry I don't know what happened," said Piper looking at the pool of tonic on the floor.
"That's ok my dear, I'll make some more," said the Seer disappearing.
Piper closed her eyes and in a second she orbed out in blue and white sparkling lights.
She opened her eyes and it took her a while to balance herself.
"Why am I here?" asked Piper looking around.
She tried to orb but nothing happened
. Piper looked around and she realised exactly where she was, it was where all her family were buried.
"Don't please don't do this to me why are you doing this!" yelled Piper.
Just then Piper orbed again she didn't go back to the Seer's lair she went home to the Manor. She found herself in her bedroom.
"Phoebe, what are you doing in here?"
"Piper you're back," said Phoebe sitting up and facing her.
"I don't know what I'm doing here, I think the baby orbed me here."
Pink lights orbed out of Piper's back and shot through the air at Phoebe. She flew backwards and landed on the floor.
"Phoebe are you ok?" asked Piper concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine, what the hell just happened?" asked Phoebe standing up and heading towards the door. "Prue!" Phoebe opened Piper's bedroom door.
"No Phoebe don't call Prue, we don't need her, just me and you come on come join us," said Piper pleading with her sister.
Prue came running up the stairs with Cole close behind her.
"Phoebe what is it?" asked Prue looking at her little sister.
""Me and Phoebe don't need you Prue!" yelled Piper throwing out her arm.
Phoebe, Cole and Prue stared at Piper. She looked at her hand, no fir, and even when she went to use her Charmed powers still nothing happened.
"Where the hell are my powers?" asked Piper confused by what was happening.
The Seer appeared next to Piper.
"Piper what are you doing here?"
"I don't know exactly but my powers aren't working," said Piper looking at the Seer.
The Seer looked confused by what Piper was telling her.
"Come along Piper," said the Seer holding out her hand.
"Stay away from me bitch!" yelled Piper.
"You heard her stay away," said Prue.
"You need to leave now!" yelled Phoebe pointing her finger at the Seer, a stream of fire shot from her hand, when she realised what she was doing she slightly moved her hand and the stream of fire missed the Seer.
"Hey that's my power!" yelled Piper pointing at Phoebe.
The Seer took hold of Piper's hand and they both disappeared.
"Piper no!" called Phoebe. She had lost her sister again.
"Phoebe you wanna explain?" asked Prue looking at her sister.
"Well I was in here when Piper orbed in, then I was on my arse, I called you and then Piper had no powers and I was throwing fire," said Phoebe pushing past Cole and Prue.
"Phoebe what is your problem?" asked Prue following Phoebe down the stairs.
"What do you think is my problem Prue, we've lost our sister!"
"You haven't lost her," said Cole hugging Phoebe.
"Not lost her, what do you think this is Cole she's evil," said Phoebe looking at him, "if Piper turning evil is not losing her then I don't know what is." By this time Phoebe was crying.
There was a knock on the front door. It was Katy, Piper's manager at the club.
"Hi Prue is Piper there?"
"No sorry she's not at the moment," said Prue looking Katy straight in the eyes.
"Her car's in the drive," said Katy pointing at Piper's car.
"I know she walked," said Prue, "but I'll tell her you stopped by, bye." Prue shut the door.
Katy stood and looked around the street no one was around, she orbed out in blue and white sparkling lights just like Leo.
Down in the Seer's lair Piper was having her own problems.
"I don't know what happened ok, one minute I have my powers the next I don't not even my Wiccan ones!"
"Well I don't know either I did not foresee this," said the Seer.
The Seer's eyes turned a white colour and she stood still. She could see white clouds and a girl taking to a man in a white robe.
"A girl and boy are here who shouldn't be, this is unexpected they're not from the future I saw but your future," said the Seer turning and facing Piper.
"My future?"
Piper looked confused she had no idea what the Seer was saying.
"What do they look like?" asked Piper still confused.
"Here look into this bowl."
The Seer handed Piper a bowl with water in it, she waved her hand over it and in the bowl appeared images of what the Seer had seen.
Piper's eyes turned a sparkling blue and white colour like orbs.
"Seer I don't see anything," said Piper looking at the bowl closely.
Back at the Manor Phoebe was still really upset.
"Phoebe hunny are you still upset about Piper?" asked Cole worried about Phoebe.
"What a stupid question Cole," said Prue.
"Leo!" called Phoebe looking at the ceiling.
Leo orbed in, in blue and white sparkling lights just like in Piper's eyes.
"Leo I need to ask you something about Piper," said Phoebe standing up.
"Sure, what about Piper?"
"Well she gained that new power pyrokinesis, now I have it, I don't know why but she doesn't even have her Charmed powers I'm just wondering would I have them too?"
"You'd have to try the powers to make sure you have them," said Leo looking confused.
Phoebe looked around the room, she focused all her energy on a lamp that was sitting on a side table and just like Piper would Phoebe threw her hands out. The lamp blew up; Phoebe had two of Piper's powers now.
"Cole throw an energy ball at me," said Phoebe looking at him.
"No I'm not going to throw an…"
Phoebe had thrown her hands in the air and frozen Cole, she knew Cole wouldn't throw and energy ball at her. So now she knew she had all of Piper's powers.
"I have all her powers Leo, how?" asked Phoebe.
"Wait you have your two powers plus the three from Piper," said Prue.
"Yeah, oh Leo when Piper and I were talking in the mirror I saw pink orbs coming out of her back and then they shot into me."
"Well Phoebe it could be the babies way of saying, 'I'm protecting my mum'," said Leo.
"We have to get her back," said Phoebe looking at Leo, Prue and Cole who had just unfroze.
"What's going on?" asked Cole looking around.
"Sorry baby I had to freeze you to see if I had Piper's powers and I do," said Phoebe hugging Cole.
"So you have your powers plus Piper's?"
"Yeah and now we're trying to get Piper back," said Prue.
"What are we doing here Katy?" asked a man in a white robe.
"You know why we are here," said Katy also wearing a white robe.
"Look guys think of a plan and when I get back from speaking to the Elders tell me and I'll help," said Leo orbing out to the Elders.
"Ok so what are we going to do?" asked Prue.
Leo orbed up to some clouds where a few Elders greeted him.
"What is it I'm trying to get the middle Charmed sister back," said Leo looking a little annoyed by their call.
"We've detected two suspicious people here and we'd like you to check them out," said Elder one.
"Why me?" asked Leo annoyed.
"Because we need to take your mind off Piper and let her sister figure out what to do," said another Elder.
"But these two have got to be whitelighters or they wouldn't be able to get up here," said Leo looking at each Elder.
"Well why don't you deal with them and let the girls get your fiancée back."
"Ok but after I report who they are back to you I'll go help the girls," said Leo orbing out to find the two strangers.
"Leo's coming Katy, can you feel it?" said the man in the whitelighters robe.
"Yeah I can he's orbing here," said Katy quickly putting her robe on and putting up her hood so her face was covered, the man who was with her did the same. Leo orbed in and found the two whitelighters huddled together.
"What are you two doing here, nobody knows about this place except the Elder's and a few whitelighters.
"Well we just sort of found it," said Katy keeping her face hidden.
"The Elder's sent me here to find out who you are and what you want," said Leo looking at the both of them.
"Why do you want to know who we are?" asked Katy pulling down her hood.
"Katy what are you doing here? How did you get here?" asked Leo very confused.
"Well I'm sort of a whitelighter."
"And who's your friend?" asked Leo looking at the hooded man.
"I'm Wy…" began the man.
"Why do you want to know?" asked Katy.
"The Elders seem to think you're evil, but I can see this is just a waste of my time," said Leo looking a little annoyed.
"Wasting your time for what?" asked the man taking his hood off.
"My fiancée is evil and I'm supposed to be saving her with her sisters," said Leo still looking annoyed.
"Then why don't you go and save them, but please don't tell Piper about me being a whitelighter because I really love my job," said Katy pleading with Leo.
"Ok, but listen don't come back up here the Elder's will get you reborn," said Leo orbing out.
"They could try," said the man looking at Katy.
"You know you nearly gave everything away Wyatt, come on lets go to P3," said Katy, "we need to somehow help save mum without being seen."
Katy and Wyatt orbed out and stayed in the back room of P3.
"Look Katy there's not much more we can do ok, we just got to let me, well the baby me do the job," said Wyatt as him and Katy were setting up their beds.
"Yes but Wyatt you know what happened last time you just used your powers to try and save her it didn't work," said Katy staring at Wyatt.
"Yes but last time the Elder's kept Leo away and he wasn't able to help Phoebe and Prue," said Wyatt still putting his side of the argument across.
"Ok and if Leo needs our help we'll be there to help right?"
"Right, night sis."
Wyatt kissed his sister on the head and laid in his sleeping bag.
"Night."
Katy also lay in her sleeping bag and she thought about her mum, dad and older brother who happened to be lying next to her.
At the Manor Prue and Phoebe were still trying to figure out how to get Piper back.
"It's the middle of the night lets think some more in the morning," said Prue looking at her sister who was yawning.
"No Prue I can't sleep, I was getting through to her, its you she doesn't seem to like," said Phoebe still yawning.
Just then Leo orbed in.
"Hiya have you thought about how to get her back?" asked Leo.
"No not yet but I think you might be the link," said Phoebe looking at Leo.
"Me, why?"
"You're her boyfriend she listens to you, we grew up with her and she never listens to us," said Phoebe.
"Ok so what do we do?" asked Leo.
"We summon Piper and you talk to her," said Phoebe placing five candles in a circle.
"Prue I'm going to need your help with the summoning spell."
"Ok, I think Cole should help too," said Prue.
"Yeah ok," said Cole.
All four of them stood with a candle in front of them and chanted.
"Powers of the sisters rise, course unseen across the skies, come to us who call you near, come to us and settle her, blood to blood I summon thee, blood to blood return to me."
Just then in white sparkling lights Piper appeared.
"What the hell am I doing here?" demanded Piper looking around the circle.
"Piper listen we love you, we want you to come home," said Prue looking her sister in the eye.
"I don't have to answer to you," said Piper with a look of pure hatred on her face.
"Piper that's not fair!" yelled Cole.
"You know what you stay out of this!" yelled Piper spinning round to face Cole.
"Piper look at me," said Leo in a calm voice.
"What?" asked Piper looking at Leo.
"Piper, your sisters love you and want you to come home," said Leo looking at her in the eye.
"Leo I know you mean well but I really don't care."
Piper took Leo by the neck and threw him across the room, she spun round kicked Cole in the face and before Prue had the chance to use her power, Cole came flying towards her and landed right on top of her. Phoebe looked around at the damage Piper had caused.
"Come on Piper you don't want to do this," said Phoebe backing away from Piper.
"I gave you a chance to join me and you threw it in my face!"
Piper pulled an athame out of her back pocket and held it at Phoebe throat.
"Come on little sister, use the powers you stole from me," said Piper forcing Phoebe against a wall.
"Piper this isn't you, think about your fiancée Leo and your baby," said Phoebe, "remember how this all started we had that argument because you and Leo were thinking of moving out."
Piper looked at her sister and saw the emptiness in her eyes.
"You really miss me don't you?"
"Of course Piper you're my big sister," said Phoebe.
Piper lowered the athame and stepped back from Phoebe. Cole, Leo and Prue were all standing behind Piper; she spun round and stood next to Phoebe.
"Stay away form me!" yelled Piper holding the athame at arms length.
Just then a demon shimmered in.
"Piper, come on the Seer wants you to drink this."
The demon gave Piper the glass. As she took it she threw it on the floor.
"Give this message to the Seer."
Piper threw the athame at the demon and he exploded into flames. Piper fell to the floor in tears, Phoebe walked over to her sister.
"Phoebe be careful," said Prue concerned for her sister.
Phoebe knelt down next to Piper and hugged her. Just then pink orbs appeared from Phoebe's back and shot into Piper.
"Leo what the hell just happened?" asked Phoebe looking at him.
"I think the baby gave mummy her powers back," said Leo looking at them.
Piper stood up, Cole formed an energy ball and Prue stood ready to fight, Phoebe was the only one who trusted Piper enough to let her guard down.
"Cole what are you doing?" asked Piper looking at the energy ball in his hand.
"Piper are you back?" asked Phoebe.
"Yeah hunny I'm back, and I'm sorry if I hurt any of you," said Piper looking at her.
"Piper are you ok?" asked Leo.
"Yeah I'm fine, the baby is fine too, Prue I know I said some hurtful stuff to you but I didn't mean any of it."
"I know hunny," said Prue hugging her little sister.
"I want a hug too," said Phoebe hugging her two big sisters.
"Leo I'm really sorry," said Piper hugging her fiancée.
"Look Piper I was thinking instead of waiting till October to get married we get married tomorrow."
"But Leo we haven't got anything planned yet."
"What do we need to plan, we're going to summon Grams and then we're married," said Leo, "look Piper I don't want to lose you again."
"Ok I think we can do it, all I gotta do is buy a dress, get Prue and Phoebe their bridesmaid dresses and get you and Cole tuxes," said Piper very excited.
"Look I can get the tuxes," said Leo smiling at Piper.
"Yeah and Prue and I can get our dresses," said Phoebe.
"Ok well can we go tomorrow, because I'm really tired," said Prue yawning.
"Yeah ok, we can go tomorrow morning," said Piper.
Prue walked up the stairs and went into her room as soon as her head touched the pillow she was asleep.
"Night Piper, I'm so glad you're home," said Phoebe hugging her sister again.
"I know I love you so much," said Piper kissing her sister on the head.
Phoebe took Cole by the hand and both went upstairs and fell straight to sleep in each other's arms.
"Phoebe thought that I was the key to get you back," said Leo walking up the stairs with Piper.
"You were, you and Phoebe, I love you both so much."
Leo and Piper walked into their room and lay down on their bed.
"I missed this bed and being here with you," said Piper hugging Leo.
"I know while you were gone I didn't even stay here, I couldn't."
"I can't wait till tomorrow."
"Me either."
Leo kissed Piper on the head and they both shut their eyes and fell asleep.
"This was not part of my plan but it doesn't matter, I have another way of getting that little baby boy," said the Seer with her eyes glowing white.
