Piper clung to Prue as Phoebe's fingertips came to rest on her arm. Phoebe was shocked at how cold Piper felt, like an icicle. Phoebe looked into Piper's eyes. She saw the fear, pain, and confusion. Suddenly a premonition was upon her. Phoebe gasped at the force of it. She felt like she was being ripped apart. One force was trying to take her into the premonition and another force was trying to keep her out. Both forces fought each other with Phoebe hanging in the balance. Suddenly Phoebe was thrown out of it, and the force threw her off the bed.
Prue: "Phoebe!"
Phoebe lay on the floor gasping for air.
Prue: "Phoebe, answer me!"
Prue was beginning to panic. One sister in potential danger is enough. There was no way she could deal with two.
Phoebe: "I'm okay, Prue."
Phoebe got out between gasps.
Phoebe: "I have never experienced anything like that before. It was so powerful."
She paused, trying to collect her thoughts.
Phoebe: "Is Piper okay?"
Prue, who had been absorbed in what had just happened with Phoebe, snapped her attention back to Piper.
Piper was shaking in Prue grasp, but she seemed to have calmed down from her initial fear. She didn't really seem to be aware of her surroundings.
Prue: "Piper? How are you feeling?
At first Piper didn't answer. Her entire body felt heavy. Her limbs felt like lead. She didn't think that she could move or answer Prue coherently.
Prue: "Piper, honey, can you talk?"
Piper: "Ugh…"
Suddenly a forceful cough racked Piper's body. Several minutes passed before she could finally suppress them.
Leo: "We need to get her to a doctor."
Prue and Phoebe jumped. Each had forgotten that Leo was still in the room. Turning to face him, Phoebe noticed an expression mixed with fear and determination.
Leo: "Get her to a doctor, but don't let her out of your sight. I'm going to the Elders."
Piper: "I don't need a doctor. There's a demon on the loose. I need to help my sisters. I just need a drink of water and I'll be as good as new."
Leo: "I don't have time to argue with you…"
With that, Leo orbed out.
Prue: "I agree. Piper, we're taking you to the doctor now."
Demon: "Not if I have anything to do with it."
