Long Live Life

Piper stood there, frozen, her hands held in place ready to explode the demon. But it wasn't a demon, far from it. Tears began to rise in her eyes as she gazed into the eyes of her dead sister.
"Prue, you're dead… Go back, honey," Piper stammered, fighting to act strong. Prue's short, dark brunette hair fluttered in the breeze, and her eyes flashed angrily at her little sister.
"I am not dead Piper, I am the strongest and oldest sister, and you're going to be dead," Prue stated and swung her arm up, as if to slap Piper, but she sent Piper crashing into the wall using her telekinesis.
Phoebe watched her sister be flung across the room as if just a rag doll. 'Oh my God, Piper, I've got to save her.' She thought, levitating uselessly above the scene. Every time she willed herself to float lower, she only got higher.
Piper was suddenly flung up against the wall. Her head dangled, limp, against her chest. Prue was flinging her little sister across the room like a rag doll, or a stuffed bear.
"No, Prue!" Phoebe cried. Prue turned to face the woman that was above her. She brought a hand up and flicked it towards Phoebe. Phoebe was thrown against the wall, but managed to keep conscience.
As she slid to the floor, Phoebe jumped to her feet. Fear and anger fuelled her as she placed kick after kick across her eldest sister's head. Prue's head was flung to the left as Phoebe placed a punch across her jaw. When Prue turned back to Phoebe, a small trickle of blood was flowing from her lip.
'Oh my God,' Phoebe thought, as there was a small white light, and the cut healed. There was a moan, and several rocks fell from around Piper as she woke. Prue turned to her youngest sister and waved her arm at her.
"Prue no!" Piper shouted stubbornly. Prue hesitated and gave a small flick of her wrist. Piper's body was flung lightly against the wall from her elder sister's telekinesis, but she quickly stood up as she knew that Prue had meant to be much stronger. "Prue, listen to me… You are dead!" Piper cried louder still. "Prue, go back!" She yelled, trying her freezing power on her again.
The scene froze, but only for a mille second. Prue turned to face her head, but as if she was inside jelly or something, the movement was hesitant and looked as if it took all her energy to do the easy movement. Then the scene returned back to normal.
Prue brought a stiletto shoe, up across Piper's jaw.
"Leo!" Piper cried instantly, as she felt the heel cut through her cheek. There was a click as the shoe returned back to the floor, but Piper still felt a striking pain in her cheek. She placed a hand against the cut, but as she brought it down, her hand was covered in thick blood, with more still dripping down her jaw.
As Prue brought another boot up, Piper was ready, fuelled with anger. 'Oh no you don't,' she thought determinedly grabbing Prue's slim leg, but Prue just used Piper's hold as support and brought her other leg up across Piper's forehead.
"Phoebe!" Piper cried, as she felt a sharp crack and a sharp pain. Her head twisted to the right and she fell to the floor, feeling very dizzy. She clenched her forehead tightly as she tried to keep consciousness.
"Piper!" Piper heard the distance cry from her younger sister. 'Phoebe,' she thought weakly, trying to lift her head. Then she caught sight of Phoebe's figure but there was someone else. She blinked her eyes, trying to see through her hazy vision.
"Cole," she whispered, before passing out.
Phoebe kicked, as her ex demon husband held her above the floor in a neck lock. She was rapidly losing sight and energy, as she couldn't breathe. She held his arm, trying to support her head, so he couldn't break her neck.
"Cole… your… dead…" She struggled to explain as he tightened his grip.
"No, Phoebe, you could never make me leave," Cole replied angrily.
"Cole… please," Phoebe gasped, and she gave him a sudden kick in the lower chest, with what was left of her energy. He suddenly dropped her.
Phoebe staggered carefully, before placing a strong roundhouse kick across his chest. Cole staggered back, but then he let out a howl. He threw his head back as he transformed into a demon, Belthozor.
"Oh my…" Phoebe whispered, falling to the ground as he slapped her across the jaw. Her head whacked sharply against a rock, but she quickly gained consciences as she noticed a blue energy ball form in his hand. He lifted it, but it wasn't aimed at her… It was aimed at Piper!
"Piper," she cried, as her sister passed out, "No, Piper…" She gasped as there was a cry, and Cole lifted her again.
Suddenly, the cave was flooded with light as Paige orbed in.
"Amulets!" Paige cried, orbing the golden amulets that hung around Prue's and Cole's neck to herself. Cole was instantly back to his human self, and dropped Phoebe.
"Oh, Phoebe…" He howled, before he exploded as Paige threw a violet potion at him.
Prue lay against the wall, surrounded by a scorch mark from Cole's energy ball. Piper looked dazedly at her elder sister, who's chest still rose slowly. Paige prepared to chuck the next potion at her, not recognising her dead older sister.
Phoebe grabbed Paige's arm, "Don't… it's Prue."
Paige lowered her arm hesitantly. Then she walked slowly over to Prue and Paige, and orbed all the sisters back to the manor.
