Orbs filled the conservatory of the manor transforming into Leo and Ally.
"What is she doing here?" Cole stared at the middle Trudeau-Halliwell before lifting his eyes heavenward, "I thought you took all of the girls up there"
"I did" Leo answered but if we're going face the Source and save Prue. We're going to need her sisters."
"So you're going to take Ally back to the past and retrieve them" Cole swallowed. To defeat the Source, it would take all of the Charmed Ones including Phoebe".
"It shouldn't take long" Leo shrugged, "I'm going to go back a few days before Phoebe's death" The whitelighter watched as Cole rubbed his chin. "You think you can handle it?"
"Seeing Phoebe? Are you kidding me?" It was all that he'd dreamed about for weeks.
"Okay, just so that you know it's not permanent" Leo said reproachfully before dissolving into a flurry of orbs.
Tomb of the EgyptiansJeric moaned pleasurably as he tangled his body with Piper's. Each time he traded the trapped soul of his beloved Isis for that of a witch he was reminded of how much he loved the famed Goddess.
"You are magnificent my queen," he whispered plunging his face into her neck. Piper grinned for several seconds before taking his face into her hands.
"If I'm so damned magnificent, then how come you don't love me enough to save me from that thing that turned me into stone? I am getting rather tired of having to use another woman's body just so that I can be with you"
"Be patient, my sweet, this time I have made a deal with a Charmed Witch," Jeric lowered his head feeling her pain. "The body that you are in is that of one of her sisters"
"That must be the reason that the soul in this one is so damned strong" Piper sighed, "She isn't going to let me stay in here for long"
"You don't need to stay long," Jeric caressed the side of her face, "we only need a few more moments to rekindle our lost spirits then you will have the strength to go on fighting"
"I don't want to fight, I want to be free"
"Ssh…" Jeric beckoned with a delicate fingers to her lips, I promise you that soon you will be" Before she could retort, the demon captured her mouth with his and kissed her longingly until he felt her relax completely.
Manor 1988
The reflective mirror showed Paige standing with her hands on her hips as Penny entered the attic adjusting an earring. The feisty Halliwell Matriarch was dressed in a modest lavendar ball gown donning long sleeves. "Grams you look lovely"
'Why thank you dear" Penny pulled a large hand held mirror from her bag and held it up for Paige to see. "Ready to go?"
"Ready as I'll ever be" The witch made a quirky face before orbing into the smaller reflective space that Penny held in her hands.
"Whew this is a little cramped"
"It's the best I do on such short notice," Penny frowned gazing at Paige's reflection. The oldest of all of the Halliwell's then slipped the hand mirror into her bag and started for the stairs where she was met by a red faced teenage Prue. The soon to be superwitch was dressed in a strapless blue satin gown.
"Grams, why are you suddenly chaperoning my prom?"
"I already told you. Your Principal Mr. Weathers asked me too"
"Grams, you can't. You're going to ruin everything!" Prue retorted, "Andy and I already have plans!"
"Plans for what?" Penny challenged using a parental tone.
"Do you really have to drive me?" Prue asked near tears. "Andy's parents already rented a limo"
Inside of Penny's purse, Paige rolled her eyes. Prue was going to absolutely murder her for changing what was probably the best night of sex in all of her teenage life. "Psst! Psst!"
"I'm sure they can get their money back" Penny sniffed pushing past her distraught Granddaughter to the bedroom in effort to answer Paige's call. "What is it?"
Paige had her the corner of her mouth pulled up to one side as Penny pulled the hand mirror from her purse. "You in know in the future you always tell us not to mess with the pass because of the consequences it could have?"
"Please don't try to tell me that I'm going to change anything significant by not allowing Prue to have sex tonight"
"Okay" Paige answered in a cheeky tone again crossing her arms over her chest. "but do you remember those great-grandchildren I told you about?" Paige knew the lie was wrong but she just couldn't resist especially when she saw the look on Penny's face.
"Prue gets pregnant tonight? That's all the more reason to stop her!"
"No…no…it…isn't" Paige returned, "If you make Prue come with us, you'll be putting her right into the path of danger"
"She can handle herself"
"Grams please, you just have to trust me on this. Everything will work out exactly as it should if you leave well alone and let Prue have her night with Andy"
"Absolutely not!" Penny bellowed, "what kind of parent would I be if I let her just go off and have sex?"
"One who wants to see her Angelic grandchildren born and grow up to be the most powerful witches the world has ever seen? Grams please…if you don't let Prue and Andy have this moment, then he and Prue may never reconnect in my future"
"Very well" the old woman hissed in defeat, "but one of those grandchildren better be named after me"
"Her name is Alaine Penelope" Paige let on hoping she hadn't divulged too much as she watched the older witch break out into a heart felt smile.
"Prue names her daughter after Allen?"
"We call her Ally"
UnderworldInside the Source's private Chamber, Prue layed in deep sleep levitating over a bed draped in red sheets. The Source had purposely dressed her in lacey looking black gown, right down to the fuzzy heeled slippers.
In her mind, Prue sat up on her knees meeting Andy as he entered her chamber in the afterlife; the chamber where they had conceived Austin and frequently celebrated their afterlife together.
"Hi" she grinned sexily unable to see the darkness that surrounded her. In her eyes she saw the peacefulness of the afterlife she'd been allowed to create with Andy. Nearby Melinda Warren's garden was flourishing with butterflies and fairies. Grams and Patty were there sitting on her swing watching the girls play about at their feet. All that been wronged in the last several weeks had somehow been made right.
Andy had come back to her she believed unable to fight the Source's version of the Hollow.
"Hi" he grinned letting her start to the work the buttons of the crisp white shirt she believe he was wearing.
"You want another baby" the Source fed words into her ears influencing her thoughts.
"Another baby" Prue murmured mechanically.
On the outside of the chamber, demons saw the witch and the red winged figure they'd come know as the Source of all Evil. Evil and Goodness were about to unite in an unholy battle which would reassure evil's triumph over the Elders and the Angelic Afterlife.
The sentry stood watch outside the thin red drape that surrounded the chamber. "Where do you think you are going?" he asked brandishing his burning torch when the Oracle neared.
"We must stop this union" she hissed yanking the torch out of his grasp. "If we do not, it will mean the destruction of the Underworld as we know it"
"If you disturb the Source you shall die" The sentry remarked before bursting into a disappearing flame caused by the Oracle's rise in emotions. Still brandishing the touch, the oracle entered the bedchamber just as the Source had lowered Prue down onto the bed drawing her into a kiss.
"My Leige, Destiny is about to trick you!" Thrusting out her hand the oracle sent the vision that Alyeia had given her through a burst of flames to both the Source and Prue.
"Andy" Prue moaned accepting the Source's hot and heated kisses as their bodies pressed together. For all practical purposes she seemed to be in heaven as her back arched, nails digging into the flesh of his winged back. She was like Eve taking pleasure with her poisoned apple He was David conquering his Goliath; A match truly made in hell.
"I finally have you, my witch," The Source growled with pleasure, not taking notice of the invisible orbs forming around him. An Angel of Destiny appeared. In her hands she held a large white glowing ball. Inside a captive waited with a trigger finger itching to be free..
"Now" The angel called allowing the captive to be freed as the ball took form of a human shape.
The Angelic Tracer appeared with crossbow readied.
"You" the Source breathed showing his true form as Andy fired a flaming arrow into the demons chest, vanquishing him to hell.
"The Angelic Tracer has been vanquished! Destiny does not have that sort of power!"
The Source roared forming a flaming ball of his own. The scream of the Oracle echoed throughout the chamber as the all-seeing demoness burst into flames leaving Prue alone with the Source.
Judging by her glare, the Source could see that the Oracle's vision had broken his hold on the Charmed Witch.
"You tricked me," Prue seethed thrusting her foot up into his chest.
"And now, I'm going to vanquish you" The Source drew back a flaming hand backhanding Prue violently, "But not before I get what I want. Your reign of the Afterlife ends tonight"
"Oh I don't think so," Prue squinted sending the demon flying up against the red drapes. Her only choice was to subdue him and get out.
"Stupid Witch by yourself you are no match me!" the Source bounced against the drape flaring his wings, as he stood upright. Flexing his fingers he mimicked Prue's powers telekinetically clutching her throat. Raising his arm, he levitated her off of the bed, so that her feet were dangling in mid-air.
Back at the manor, Cole was pacing nervously when Leo appeared with Ally in his arms and a past version of Paige, Piper and Phoebe"
"Phoebe" he breathed feeling a catch in his throat as his eyes laid upon her. She looked just as he'd remembered her. Short dark hair and sporting a small diamond nose ring.
The youngest of the original Charmed ones felt a shiver run up her spine, catching the look in his eyes. "Is there something that somebody's not telling me" she hedged watching Cole's face turn to stone.
"No" he said quietly stepping towards her and kissing her cheek. "You just aren't here right now and we need you to save your sister"
Phoebe bit her bottom lip and leaned towards the past version of Paige. "Why do I get the feeling that something bad has happened to me?"
"I told you we can't talk about the future" Leo said sharply, "The three of you are only here so that you can save Prue from destroying the afterlife"
"All right, let's just get this over with so we can get back to the past change whatever horrible event the future is about to bring up" Past Piper grabbed her of sister's hands rolling her eyes.
"What can be worse than Austin turning into the angel of Death?" Paige hissed spreading her orbs over the threesome.
Slipping in behind Phoebe, Cole placed his hands on her hips, "Believe me you don't want to know"
