Chapter 10: Predictable
Disclaimer: If I owned this, "Freaky Phoebe" would be "Fabulous Prue."
A/N: Hope you guys like it.
"What do you want to do first?" Andy asked Prue while they were eating breakfast at the table.
"Let's go to the swing," Prue answered happily, referring to the field that Prue and Andy visited often in high school and right before Andy had died.
"That's just what I was thinking," he said brightly.
"We should have a picnic," Prue continued.
When Andy looked puzzled on the idea of getting food for this picnic, Prue spoke again.
"Don't worry," she said, "Piper has tons of food in the fridge. The most we would have to do is heat something up," she said with a laugh
At the hotel Piper, Phoebe, Cole, Leo, and Pam were all going downstairs to check out of the hotel.
"Hold up you guys," Pam said as she stopped walking, "I think I forgot something in my room. I'll meet you guys at the car."
"Okay, sure," Piper said as she started to walk again, "see you soon."
"Can you take my bag?" Pam asked of her younger sister.
"Yeah sure. Do you want me to take your phone too?" Piper asked, noting that Pam's phone was in her other hand and not in her bag.
"No, that's okay," Pam answered.
She walked away towards the elevator. Pam pressed the 'up' button and waited for the doors to open. When they did she saw a figure that made her drop her phone without even thinking. She didn't even have time to scream before Barbas grabbed her by the throat and covered her mouth.
Prue lay in Andy's lap as they both lounged on top of a blue checkered picnic blanket under the shade of the large Willow tree beside them.
"This is perfect," Prue said dreamily, and then looked up at Andy, "you're perfect."
"You don't know how much I've missed you," Andy said, "all this time I could see you, I just couldn't hold you."
"How was it?" Prue asked Andy.
"How was what?" he asked back, slightly confused.
"Up There, I mean," Prue answered, "how was it for you?"
"White," Andy said with a laugh.
"I'm serious," Prue said, even though she was also laughing.
"Lonely, I guess," Andy said, musing, "I was kept around for this one purpose, but I knew I could never actually be with you. It was kind of gut wrenching."
"None of that matters now," Prue jumped in, "All that matters is that we're together and we're safe."
The two lay in silence for a second until they both looked up at the fact that their shade had been blocked by the shadow of a man.
"That's the last thing you are is safe."
Prue and Andy both got up quickly seeing the man in front of them.
"What are you doing here?" Andy said defensively, shielding Prue.
"I'm here to warn you. You're not safe. You won't be safe. Not without me," Bane said sternly, his jaw tensing at the fact that Andy thought he had to shield Prue from him.
"What is it?" Prue said, coming from behind Andy. Andy looked embarrassed for trying to protect Prue.
"He's back," Bane said, "and he has your family."
Barbas had Pam in a back room in the hotel.
"What do you want with me?" Pam asked helplessly as she tried to break free from the chair Barbas had her tied to.
"Oh, and here I thought the oldest was supposed to be the smartest," Barbas spoke spitefully.
"What does any demon want, witch!" He screamed.
"Of course, you and yours are a special case," he continued, "but it's all the same. And if you're the best they have, my job's gong to be even easier than I thought."
"What do you think is taking Pam so long?" Phoebe asked as she fiddled with the radio.
"I don't know," said Leo with a troubled look on his face.
"Maybe we should go in and check on her," Cole offered.
The group went back into the hotel. They walked into the lobby where the elevators were, and saw Pam's phone on the floor. Cole picked it up and opened it. He instantly recognized it as Pam's.
"It's her phone," Cole addressed the rest of the group.
"Well either she dropped it or…." Leo started.
"Or something happened to her," Piper finished.
"And with our luck, something has her right now," Phoebe added.
The four of them went up the stairs and checked their rooms for Pam. The doors had been left open for the maids to clean them, so they walked in and looked around. When they didn't find her, they went down the stairs and out of the hotel. They piled into the car and drove toward the Manor.
As soon as they got in the house, Piper started to direct them as to what to do to find Pam.
"Phoebe, you scry. Leo, you call Prue and tell her to get over here. Cole, you…."
"Go to the Underworld to find out where I'm hiding," Barbas finished for Piper.
Everyone backed up at the site of the demon, surprised by his presence.
"Good is always so predictable."
