A/N: Omigod I haven't updated for so long! Wow, I'm so sorry! Hope you like this chapter!
Chapter Eight
Back at the Halliwell Manor, Gideon appeared in a flurry orbs to see the Charmed Ones – minus Prue – with Leo and Kyle. All of them were staring at him with a look of hatred.
"What happened?" Gideon asked although he knew the answer. "Where's Prue?" Her face deathly pale, Piper turned towards the great elder, tossing her dark hair out of her face.
"I'll tell you what happened," She said in a steely voice. "Our sister is dead because of you. Thanks to you taking Andy away she died! She just faded away! WHY DID THAT HAPPEN? PLEASE, EXPLAIN IT TO ME! BECAUSE I'M HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME TRYING TO PROCESS WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!" Gideon merely stared at her before replying in a calm voice, "Everything happens for a reason. Maybe this was all for the greater good." Phoebe let out an angry laugh.
"THE GREATER GOOD?" She practically screamed. "WE LOOSE OUR SISTER AND IT'S FOR THE GREATER GOOD? THAT IS THE STUPID THING I HAVE EVER HEARD! NOW CUT OUT THE CRAP AND TELL US THE TRUTH!" The sisters stared at him, waiting for an answer.
"Prue returned here because of Andy," Gideon finally said. "She couldn't find his spirit Up There and cast a spell to take her to him. It sent her back to earth…back to you three. Don't you understand? This was never supposed to happen. Prue was never supposed to find Andy! Destiny was thrown off its balance. It had to be fixed. It was the only way." Piper nearly screamed in frustration.
"NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" She shrieked. "THE POWER OF FOUR FOREVER MORE! THAT IS OUR DESTINY! THE POWER OF FREAKIN' FOUR! NOT THE POWER OF THREE! YOU SCREWED UP! YOU TOOK ANDY AWAY AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED! AND NOW THE SIDE OF GOOD IS PAYING FOR YOUR MISTAKE BIG TIME! WE NEED PRUE TO DEFEAT ALL EVIL! WE NEED HER TO DEFEAT THE TRINITY! THEY WILL KNOW BY NOW THAT PRUE IS GONE AND WILL COME AFTER US! BRING US OUR SISTER BACK!" Gideon shook his head sadly. "I don't have that power," He told them quietly. "But I can call on the Angel of Destiny. He will decide what is best for the greater good." Gideon waved his hand and in a flash of light a man dressed in white robes was stood before them.
"It is about time you summoned me," He said, smiling slightly. "I am the Angel of Destiny…and I'm here to fix yours. But first you must pass a series of tests! If you're up the challenge." Piper looked like she was about to argue, but Paige nudged her and said firmly, "We'll do it."
A/N: Yah, it's short, but hopefully explained a lot. Review!
Next chapter: The Angel of Destiny sets them a series of tests. They have to pass each one to get Prue and Andy back. Also, Kyle finds out that Paige is pregnant. (Yeah, it seems a bit weird that he doesn't know, but there's been so much going on that she hasn't really had time to tell him!)
