Chapter fourteen

Leo and Piper rematerialized into the heavens andscanned the area for Paige.

"Mom…ma! I… want… my… Mom…ma!"

They both heard Prestyn hiccup. Leo ventured toward the sound and saw Paige and Wyatt trying to get close enough to Prestyn to stop her running away, and Chris and little Phoebe looking rather annoyed at the commotion.

Since Paige and Prestyn had arrived, it had been non-stop tantrum from Prestyn…at least in the eyes of Chris and little Phoebe. Prestyn wouldn't let anyone near her to console her, all she wanted was her mother, and Paige couldn't blame her after all she had been through. It was too much for a child… Too much for anyone really… and this wasPaige's life everyday – willingly.

"Daddy! Mommy!" Chris exclaimed as he saw them walking towards him. He got up and ran over to them both. "Let's go home… Can we go home?" He was tugging at his father's shirt.

Leo looked at Piper. "They're all safe now… His gone…" He mumbled for only Piper to hear.

Piper nodded. "Then let's go home…" She looked at Paige and Prestyn and corrected herself. "Take the kids home, I'll be home with Paige and, hopefully, Prestyn soon." Leo nodded.

"Wyatt, Phoebe." They made their way over – Wyatt more reluctant than little Phoebe.

"Dad, I can't go. Prestyn's sad…" Wyatt said, his eyebrows furrowing in.

"Wyatt, Mommy and Aunt Paige are going to do the best they can to make Prestyn feel better… At the moment we need to get you and Chris bathed, fed, and rested and then we need to help Phoebe…" He stopped short not knowing what to say. Little Phoebe, Wyatt and Chris looked at him oddly. "We need to make Phoebe better too."

"But I don't feel bad…" Little Phoebe objected.

"We need to try and get you home."

"Finally!" Little Phoebe let out exasperatedly.

Leo rolled his eyes and orbed out with Wyatt, Chris and little Phoebe, leaving Piper and Paige with Prestyn.

Prestyn hugged herself in the furthest corner of the room. Paige faced Piper with a determined stare. "Distract her. I'm orbing for her."

"And then what's gonna happen when she shimmers out of your grasp?" Piper asked folding her arms over her chest.

"I'll go with her because I'll be holding her," Paige answered in a matter of fact tone.

"Not if she shimmers out before you can orb to her," Piper countered with a cocky grin. Paige glared at her. "Besides, it won't make her trust us anymore if we go for the sneak approach. We want her to be able to trust us okay?" Piper slowly began to walk towards Prestyn, who had her head on her knees and her arms around her legs. Her tiny body shaking uncontrollably through sobs and fear. Piper approached Prestyn and crouched down in front of her. "Prestyn, honey…" She stopped when Prestyn whimpered and held herself tighter. "Sweetie, it's okay, you're safe…"

"I… want… my… mommy…" She hiccupped.

Piper stretched out her arms to hug her but, when she touched Prestyn, she jumped and shimmered to the opposite side of the room.

Piper stood up and strode over to Paige. Her face showing confusion. "What the Hell is the matter with her?" She demanded.

Paige shrugged with an apologetic look. Then she remembered the events from the warehouse. "Prestyn killed him."

"Who?" Piper asked shocked.

"Cole!" Paige hissed keeping her eye on Prestyn, and keeping her voice to a whisper.

"She killed him?" Piper spat out and pointed at Prestyn. "What… How… How?" Piper stammered.

"I don't know how she conjured it, but I saw static electricity coming out of her hands, he started to convulse, and they were, like, three feet off the ground for a few seconds before falling to the floor… Cole's form limp… lifeless…"

"So it would seem that Prestyn has a second power… active and certainly dangerous."

"Yeah strong enough to kill Cole, whereas the Charmed powers couldn't."

Piper's eyes widened at the thought. "I did not think of it like that…"

"Phoebe is not gonna be pleased…" Paige sighed. "Look, go home to your family, I know the boys will be dying to spend some time with you, and we need to figure out how to get Phoebe back because she will not come with us unless she knows she has a mommy to go home to."

Piper thought about it. Paige was right – Prestyn wouldn't go back home unless she knew she was going back to her mother. Piper sighed and nodded. "If you need help –"

"I'll come home and orb you up," Paige finished for her.

Piper nodded. "Paige…" Piper began. She placed a hand on her baby sister's upper arm and looked up into her sister's dark brown eyes. "I'm sorry."

Paige let a small smile spread across her lips. "I'm sorry too." She rubbed Piper's arm for assurance as Piper smiled at her. Paige nodded her head before putting her hand out to Piper. "Home!" She ordered. She watched as the eldest Charmed One disappeared in a flurry of white and blue orbs.

Paige sighed. This is not gonna be easy!

--------

Piper rematerialized in the children's bedroom.

"Mommy!" Chris and Wyatt screamed.

Piper grinned from ear to ear and crouched down on the floor with her arms open wide for her sons to run to. "My boys… Thank God you guys are safe," she murmured as she hugged them with every ounce of strength in her body.

"Hey," Leo greeted quietly. He walked further into the room and kissed Piper on the head and messed up both Chris and Wyatt's hair.

"Hey yourself," she beamed.

"Mommy," Chris began slowly. "Why… How come you orbed?" His little eyebrows furrowing in.

"Yeah, mom. How come you orbed?" Wyatt echoed.

"Auntie Paige sent me home."

"Is Prestyn still sad?" Wyatt asked looking to the floor, feeling somewhat guilty that he wasn't there with her.

"Yeah sweetheart she is. But she won't be for too much longer…" At least I hope not. She added quietly to herself.

"She made my head hurt…" Chris mumbled with a frown, crossing his arms over his little chest.

"Chris…" Leo warned. Chris looked down to the floor.

Wyatt pointed at Chris with a little smirk.

"Wyatt…" Piper warned. Wyatt sulked.

"Come on you two," Leo began as he ushered them towards their beds. "Off to bed. It's way past your guys' bedtime."

"Aww dad," Wyatt whined. "Can't we stay up a little longer? What about Prestyn?"

"I'll let you know when Prestyn gets back, okay." Leo compromised.

Wyatt eyed his father carefully. "Do you promise?"

Leo squatted down to Wyatt's height and looked him in the eye. "I promise buddy."

Wyatt nodded. This was seemingly good enough for him. He crawled into bed and let Leo tuck him in.

"Mommy?" Chris squeaked.

Piper walked over to Chris and hoisted him on to her hip. "What's the matter, sweet boy?" She brushed his hair out of his face.

"The… the Bad Man… What about the Bad Man?"

"He's gone, honey."

"Did you vanquish him, mommy?" Chris's attitude lightened up and a big grin lit his face.

Piper smiled back at her son. "Yup. He got vanquished good."

"Yes!" Chris hissed and punched a tiny fist into the air; his grin not disappearing. Piper walked him over to his bed and watched as he scrambled under the covers. She tucked him in, kissed both boys goodnight and walked downstairs hand in hand with Leo.

"Can I go to bed now?" Piper complained as she cuddled into Leo.

Leo chuckled.

"No you can't," a little voice snapped.

Piper rolled her eyes and groaned. She turned around and saw Little Phoebe frowning, with her arms crossed over her chest. She turned back to Leo. "Let me freeze her overnight, please, please, please," Piper begged in a whisper.

"We've gotta get our Phoebe back, Piper."

Piper sighed, closed her eyes and counted to three. "Go and see what you can findoutabout getting our Phoebe back… I'll keep her occupied." Leo looked at her in disbelief; knowing full well that his wife would freeze her the second he left. "I promise," Piper swore.

Leo kissed her softly on the lips. "I'll be back as soon as I can." He orbed out.

Piper turned around to face her little, little sister with a soft glare.

"What?" Little Phoebe half-snapped with a raised brow and arms crossed.

"I thought we were over the 'I hate you, you hate me thing'…"

Phoebe kept her glare hard at Piper. "All I want is to go home. I've had enough of being here; I miss my sisters and my Grams." Her voice quivered with emotion.

Piper sighed and let her guard down. She walked over to the kitchen table and pulled out two chairs; one for little Phoebe and one for herself. Phoebe hesitantly took the seat and sat down.

"Phoebe, we're trying to figure out ways to get you home, and I promise you, we're gonna get you back, but we don't know how long that is going to take," Piper stated as simply and as gently as she could. She took a breath and continued. "But for the moment, you just need to develop a little patience. Do you think you can handle that?" Little Phoebe looked at Piper skeptically. "Yeah you're right. That's impossible." Little Phoebe sighed.

Blue and white lights filled the kitchen and Leo evolved from then.

"You're back!" Piper and little Phoebe let out. They looked at each other and, for the first time in a few days, they laughed at the sudden simultaneous outburst.

"And you're both okay," he beamed, sounding more surprised than happy.

Little Phoebe raised her eyebrow. "Why wouldn't we be?"

Leo thought on his toes. "Oh… Just you know, with our freaky family, you never know what could happen…"

Little Phoebe nodded, while Piper glared at him, open-mouthed. Leo shrugged at her.

Piper sighed. "What did you find out?"

"The Elders are gonna help in a big way, and then it is all up to her sub-conscious."

Piper raised an eyebrow, identical to that of little Phoebe's. "How?" She asked.

"What are you guys talking about?" Little Phoebe questioned with a glare.

"We're talking about how we're getting you home… What did I say about patience?"

"That it was impossible," little Phoebe answered honestly.

Piper rolled her eyes at herself. "Yeah I walked right into that one…" She turned her attention back to her husband. "How did you say they were going to help out?"

"I didn't… They're going to send her one hell of a premonition…" He answered, not even bothering to cover it up.

"What's a prem-o-ni-tion?" Little Phoebe asked sounding it out.

Leo and Piper looked at each other. "It's a… Uh…" Piper tried.

"Well… It's kinda like… um… a… a sneak preview…" Leo finished.

"Oh…" she nodded.

Piper looked at her husband incredulously. "What the hell was that?" Piper hissed through gritted teeth. Leo shrugged in answer. "When?"

Before Leo could answer, they were interrupted by a gasp. Piper turned her head sharply to little Phoebe, her head was thrown backward and her eyes were closed. She was gripping to the table so hard, her knuckles were turning white.

Little Phoebe fell of her chair collapsing into an unconscious state, as pale as Paige.

"What the Hell was that?" Piper asked nervously as she got out of her chair and squatted down next to little Phoebe. Leo was already there before her, healing little Phoebe.

"That was the premonition I was telling you about. That should bring our Phoebe straight through…"

Piper looked at the form lying in front of her and then back at Leo. "Well I still see little Phoebe…"

"Yes, and her mind is still in her Phoebe's time, but she knows everything about our Phoebe's life now."

"And she'll believe it?"

"It's in consecutive order, she should believe it…" He trailed off as little Phoebe started to stir.

Her eyelids fluttered open slowly, and she pulled herself up. "What happened?" She asked drowsily.

"Do you remember anything?" Piper asked gently, helping little Phoebe up.

Little Phoebe turned pale again. "Prestyn?" She let out in a yelp.

"Is safe," Piper assured, letting out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. Big Phoebe was coming through.

Little Phoebe looked from Piper to Leo, got up and ran upstairs, slamming the door shut.


Hopefully theuber premonition makes sense... Please tell me if it does or not - it kinda stops after the killing of Cole (Long Live The Queen)and the rest is about Prestyn... please please please tell me what you liked and disliked about the chapter and tell me whether it made sense or not.
