Angelically Charmed: Death Succumbs Her

Holding Prue at bay, the Source snickered as she tossed him a prideful glare. "

Why don't we see just how immortal you really are?" With a flick of his hand, the Source realized his telekinetic hold and flung Prue against an adjacent wall causing her body to slide downward hitting the flat ground.

"That the best you got?"

"I'm just getting started, Witch!" The Source again raised his hand, this time moving Prue back to the bed so that she was spread eagle. The mattress turned to a bed of nails impaling her skin. Unconsciously Prue let out a yelp. Chains rose up from the head and footboard securing her at the ankles and wrists.

"I may not be able to destroy your body completely, but I can take your soul!" The Source took great delight in using his claw like talons to shred the delicate clothing that clad's Prue's body. Bloodied claw marks were everywhere running across her abdomen, down her chest, across her thighs.

"Now we truly shall become one"

"Only in your dreams!" Prue rounded, as the Source turned astral on her. His body become transparent, that of a normal man as he laid beside her, blending them as one. He was inside her, not just in sexual way but all over, Prue could literally feel his dark heart trying to mesh with hers.

"You bastard" she ground turning her head away from his harsh kisses.

"No that's what you are going have, if we've lucky."

Orbs appeared behind him, depositing in the past versions of Paige, Piper and Phoebe.

"I think your luck has just ran out!" Linking hands the three sisters began to chant, 'Witches from the Halliwell line cross now through space and time! Prudence, Patricia, Penelope, Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura, and Grace, Halliwell witches stand strong beside us, vanqish this evil from time and space"'

"Nothing happening" Cole whispered as he and Leo stood watching from a safe distant.

"The Source is in his own territory" Leo remarked, "it may take more than the power of three"

"Power of four?"

Leo nodded, "Piper you have to get Prue!"

Piper broke the unison chant for a just a moment, "C'mon Prue say it with us!"

'Witches from the Halliwell line cross now through space and time" Prue started just as the Source thrust his full weight upon her, piercing her body further down on the nail like spikes.

Paige, Piper and Phoebe saw their sister grimace in pain. "Come Prue you can do it! Don't let him beat you!"

"Phoebe?" Prue dared to breathe. Her baby sister was back from the dead. Tears glinted in her eyes from a combination of both fear and pain. Slowly she started to speak, picking up the pace until she was in perfect timing with her sisters

'Witches from the Halliwell line cross now through space and time! Prudence, Patricia, Penelope, Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura, and Grace, Halliwell witches stand strong beside us, vanqish this evil from time and space"'

Slowly the Source started to dissipate into flames, burning Prue along with his own flesh. Screaming Prue threw her head back for all that is was worth.

"Don't stop the chant!" Piper ground once more. "Keep it going!"

"But he's killing Prue!" Phoebe shrieked watching the middle sister speak through clenched teeth.

"It's the only way!"

Flames engulfed the entire bed until nothing could be seen but an orange inferno. The Sources cries of agony along with Prue's screams became intermixed.

"I think we just vanquished out sister" Paige's bottom lip began to quiver in time with a small explosion, imploding the flames. When all was said and done, Prue lay quite, still and alone on the bed of nails.

"LEO!" Phoebe was the first to fall to Prue's side, unshackling the chains that still bound her sister's wrists and ankles. "Hurry we have to get her home!" she breathed lifting Prue's limp body to a seated position.

"Please, please, don't take Prue from us again" Phoebe pressed a small kiss to Prue's temple pushing back her raven hair. "We need our big sister too much"
"I'll take Prue and Phoebe back to the manor" Leo stepped in engulfing their bodies into a flurry of orbs. "The three of you find Alyeia "

Prue moaned softly allowing her eyes to become small slits. She blinked several times and bolted straight up, her heart pounding with fear until she realized she home. She was back at the manor on the couch.

"Yeah!"

Prue's new found level of consciousness was soon heightened by the resounding thud, of Phoebe landing solidly on top of her beaming with her sunny smile. "You're back, You're back!" Phoebe cajoled plastering Prue's face with slobbery sister-like kisses.

"Pheebs" Prue said calmly trying to free herself from Phoebe's death grip.

"Pheebs"

"PHEEBS!" Prue politely used her power to free herself from Phoebe's arms.

"Geez, you don't have to go all magic on me!" Phoebe inched herself away from her sister folding her arms over her chest in pouty manner while Prue could only stare.

"What are you looking at me that way for? Did I die or something?" Phoebe snorted giving Prue her biggest grin "C'mon Prue you look like your seeing a ghost"

"I am," Prue tucked one leg underneath her and pushed back her raven hair.

"Oh" Phoebe deadpanned, her smile falling, "That would explain why Cole was looking at me the way he did when I arrived"

"Phoebe-" Before she could say anymore, Prue found herself choked by large agonizing sobs. Her breathing turned ragged, "I'm sorry…I shouldn't have tried to take on Death!" Everything was flooding back to her. Her fight with Death trying to save Austin's soul, the demon dogs the Angel of Destiny had sent; losing Andy. Everything.

"Prue it couldn't be your fault" Tears welled in Phoebe's eyes. Tentatively, she reached for Prue with outstretched hand, only to have Prue shrug away.

"No…." Prue cowered in ragged sobs.

Orbs and Shimmers filled the living room turning into a grim faced Cole, Piper and Paige. Paige held Alyeia in her arms.

"What's wrong with the two of you?" Piper dared to ask seeing Phoebe mop at her large brown eyes.

"I just found out I'm dead"

"I knew it" Piper fumed softly setting her eyes on Leo who stood in the corner of the room. "Why in the hell didn't you tell me? I have to a right to know that Phoebe is dead!"

"No you don't" the white lighter retorted quietly reminding her she was in the future.

"But Phoebe is my sister!"

Paige held Alyeia close to her cheek her own tears starting to streak down her face. "There has to be a way we can stop it" They had cheated death before, the witch/guardian reasoned.

Leo stood behind them, jamming his hands into his pockets. He absolutely hated being the one who always upheld the rules of the Greater Good. "You should go now. Your work here is done. Your counter parts will be back soon"

"I'm not leaving until we find a way to save Phoebe," Piper put in, thrusting out her hand.

"Piper we have too" Phoebe squeaked stoically swiping at her face as she pushed to feet.

"Phoebe wait" Cole stared at her heartfelt before adverting his eyes to Leo. "Could we have just a few minutes?"

"Sure" Leo replied numbly keeping his eyes cast downward the half-demon engulfed Phoebe into a whirl of shimmers.

Baker High Prom 1988

"Do you see Drake?" Paige craned her neck trying to see out of the small slit in Gram's beaded handbag.

Penny looked down at the crack of her purse eyeing the hand mirror. "Why no Dear, you haven't told me what he looks like"

Paige puckered her lips pulling them to one of her face, " Oh mid-thirties just a little shy of six-feet, sandy hair and amazing eyes"

"Are you sure he's a demon?" Penny smirked.

"A reborn, demon" Paige smirked as Penny entered the ball room pressing to her tiptoes.

"All I see is hormonal teenagers"

"Maybe I should try" Catching the sight of a disco ball, Paige orbed herself into the little reflective squares. Panning the crowd, the witch/guardian looked for her clone and the demon searching to no avail. "They're not here yet"

Outside, a black limo pulled to the front of the posh hotel. The Ritz, Drake grinned knowing this must have set the school's PTA back a pretty penny. Pulling on door handle, the reborn, demon exited the car taking a hold of the Paige/woman of relections hand.

The woman of reflection was dressed in her pearly pink ballerina style gown: her hair done neatly in an updo, beehive to match her 1950's attire. Politely Drake offered his arm, escorting the demoness inside.

"I have to use the power room"

"Of Course, a beautiful woman always to check her appearance" Drake grinned, stealing a kiss from her cheek.

Sniggering the woman of reflection sauntered into the ladies room, where she drew out a powder puff and tube of cherry red lipstick from her matching pearl bag. A blonde girl dressed in red hoop skirt, stood beside her.

"Do you mind if I use your lipstick?"

"Sure" the woman of reflection grinned handing over her shiny looking tube. "You a cheerleader?"

"Varsity" the girl replied spreading the red stick over her cherry lips.

"That's too bad" The woman of ridiculed giggling. The girls' face started to change. Large warts grew on her face accompanied by a distended and wrinkled forehead; scraggly stands of limp black hair replaced her gorgeous blonde locks.

The girl started to scream.

The woman of reflection opened her compact aiming the mirror precisely sucking her in,. "Welcome to my world"
