Disclaimer: I do not own charmed or any of the characters.
A/N: I really like the original three so in my story Prue is still around. A little after season three, when Piper could control her, uh, "blowing up?" better.
Scavenger Hunt
Prue walked into the kitchen where Phoebe was drinking coffee. Prue: "That's strange, we're up before Piper, usually she.." Prue was interrupted by a loud explosion. Phoebe and Prue raced upstairs to find Piper standing there watching Leo reform. Leo: "Ow, Piper, I said I was sorry. Piper: "Not for last night!" Leo: "I'm sorry." Piper: "Good" Piper, seeing her sisters, stormed by them out of the room. Phoebe: "Whoa" Prue: "What happened?" Leo: "Long story. Listen, the Elders wanted me to tell you that a demon has surfaced in San Francisco and you'd better keep an eye out for him. He's called the scavenger demon because he only preys on witches when they are at their weakest." Phoebe: "Bully" Leo: "Anyway, you guys should look for a vanquish. Oh, and could you get Piper to take that cough medicine. I can't get her to and she's getting worse." Prue: "Sure, but where are you going?" Leo: "The Elders have me busy with another witch they think is a possible target." With that said Leo orbed out. Prue: "Wow, what an eventful morning. Phoebe, BOS or Piper?" Phoebe: "BOS, definitely." As Prue went downstairs she heard someone coughing as if they were going to cough up their lung. Piper: "Dt" Prue heard Piper curse before the coughing started again but worse. Prue waited until the coughing stopped before entering the kitchen. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Piper. Piper looked like the living dead. At any moment she expected her to fall over. Prue decided to start small. Prue: "Piper, you look exhausted." Piper: "I am. I DIDN'T get much SLEEP LAST NIGHT!!!" Prue heard the anger dripping off her words. Just then Piper blew up the pot she had been trying to clean. Prue: "PIPER!! Why on earth did you do that!!!?" Piper looked like she was going to answer but then Prue saw her rage leave her. She didn't have enough energy to be that angry for this long. Finally she just shrugged. Piper: "I don't know Prue, I don't know." Piper walked off mumbling to herself about not knowing. Prue stared after her, starting to feel very worried about her sister. Suddenly Prue remembered what Leo had told her. She ran after Piper. She found her in the solarium. Prue: "Piper, why don't you take that cough medicine Leo has?" Piper: "You're kidding right? The Elders gave me that to brainwash me...and Leo knew it. Prue: "Brainwash you of what?" Piper: "To respect them and agree with them." Prue: "How do you figure?" Piper: "A while after I first took some, I couldn't be angry at Them no matter what. When I asked Leo, he admitted it, but insisted I take more. Then he stood me up last night without even so much as an orb to tell me he couldn't make it. I can't believe him!" Piper suddenly became so exasperated, she turned and blew up a plant. Prue: "Piper, you need to calm down." Piper: "I can't calm down. I...I feel so...confused!" Again she blew up a plant. Prue: "Piper, STOP!!" Prue grabbed Piper's hands. Prue: "Piper, you are burning up!" Piper: "It's not that bad Prue." Prue: "The hl it isn't, Piper. You need to rest." Just then Phoebe came in. Phoebe: "I found the demon, and let me tell you, he is one tough guy." Piper: "Demon? What demon? Prue, why didn't you tell me?" Prue: "Because you need to rest." Piper: "I'll rest when I feel like it!" Piper got up and started to leave the room. Suddenly she felt herself get extremely dizzy. Her body felt very heavy and her head felt like it was floating. She grabbed a chair before she fell. Phoebe: "Piper, are you okay?" Phoebe started heading towards her. Piper's vision soon cleared but a thick feeling of nausea lay in the pit of her stomach. Phoebe: "Piper..." Piper: "I'm fine!!" Piper pushed Phoebe away and hurried upstairs. Phoebe: "Is Mars in retrograde or what?" Prue just shrugged, hoping that the day would not get any worse.
