Disclaimer: Still don't own CharmedAs usual I won't be saying OMG instead Oh My Gosh, now on to the story
"I'm Akala and I'm here to help"
Piper turned her head and saw that Aleana was gone
"Who the heck are you " Piper hissed
"And what happened to Aleana" Paige questioned
"Oh dear, you see I am Aleana" the demon said
"I don't understand" Paige mumbled
"I can go to the demon market and get the antidote for your sister for a price" She said
"And what's the price?" Piper asked
"Your help in killing my sister Faith" Akala answered
"A demon named Faith?" Piper snorted
"So let me get this straight your willing to save our sister if you kill our sister?" Paige asked suspiciously
"Correct" Akala confirmed
"But why make yourself look like a Angel of Destiny,? I mean why not show up as a demon in the first place?"Leo was confused
"You mean to tell me that the second a demon came into your house you would not have vanquished me in two seconds?" Akala pointed out
"You know she's got a point" Paige admitted
"Okay whose side are you on Paige?" Piper snapped
"Why did you want to kill your sister?" Leo said glaring at the demon
"I want her power, I thought that was obvious" Akala said
Piper was this close to blowing up the demon "You want to take over the underworld don't you?"
"That is hardly your concern" Akala hissed
"You have 5 seconds before I blow you up so if I were you I would talk" Piper threatened
"Without the antidote your sister and her baby will die, just like Chris" Akala sneered
Piper lowered her hands
"Ho- How did you know about Chris?"
She just smiled mysteriously
"Paige kitchen NOW!, Leo you watch our... demon friend" Piper instructed
Piper walked into the kitchen and shut the door
"I don't trust her" Piper said
"Well neither do I but if we have a chance to save Pheobe we should go for it"
"I know but-"
"No I'm not losing her" Paige said stubbornly
"Fine" Piper relented
Paige and Piper walked in the kitchen
"We're in" Paige informed Akala
"Good" The demon purred
"What do we have to do?" Paige asked
"Just keep her alive while I get the antidote" Akala explained
"How long will it take you?" Leo asked
"About 5 days it takes time to fetch how much it costs, it's very expensive" Akala replied
"5 DAYS!, Chris died within 2 days" Piper exclaimed
"Ah but the younger or older someone is the quicker they die, and Pheobe just so happens to be at the perfect age, she'll also be awake longer than Chris was" Akala said gleefully
"Will she experience Chris's nightmares?" Leo asked worriedly
"No that was Chris remembering his past life"
"How do you know this stuff?" Paige chimed
"Well I'm off" Akala changed the subject
"This better work" Piper growled "or you'll experience a slow painful and long death"
"Tata" Akal called and shimmered off
"Did you try the book" Coop finished as the rook unfroze
"Yeah we did there's an antidote" Paige answered
"But-" Pheobe started to say but was silenced by Piper frantically shaking her head
"Come on let's get you to the couch" Paige said helping Pheobe up, Pheobe cried out in pain
"Just take a deep breath" Victor said holding his daughter's hand
Paige orbed to the couch and gently set Pheobe down, Pheobe suddenly gasped
"The baby" she cried weakly
"The baby is fine I can hear it's heartbeat" Leo assured her
"Baby what baby?" Coop asked
"Surprise" Paige grinned sheepishly
"Mommy what's wrong what happened?" Melinda climbed out from her hiding place in the corner, her siblings and cousins quickly followed
"OH MY GOSH MOM!" Peyton yelled
"UNCLE LEO HEAL HER!" Prue instructed
Leo jusy shook his head sadly "I already tried I can't"
"You said there was an antidote, go get it" Coop insisted
"We can't it's at the demon market" Paige said awkwardly
Coop stifled a curse
"But there is someone who can and they're there right now" Paige said with fake cheeriness
"Not Cole" Pheobe muttered "Tell me it's not Cole"
"It's not, it's someone named Akala" Piper assured her
"So my wife's life depends on a demon?" Coop said snorting
"What's the price" Pheobe mumbled
"What makes you think there's a price?" Piper asked nervously
Pheobe gave her sister a look "Demons don't help us out of the goodness of their hearts Piper"
"She wants us to kill her sister" Leo said
"Wait, to do what?" Petra asked
"She wouldn't say but probably to take over the underworld" Paige explained
"So you want to help a demon take over the underworld, I know I'm just a mortal but, this doesn't sound right" Henry said
"Well honey I mean we aren't helping her take over the underworld per se" Paige told her husband
Pheobe grimaced and spoke"Wait when Chris got stabbed he could barely breath and I'm in a lot of pain but I can speak perfectly fine"
"Well Chris was younger so he had less tolerance and it killed him faster" Leo said nervously
"Dad I thought Chris wasn't supposed to know" Wyatt said confused
"Wait I died?" Chris exclaimed
Victor walked over to his grandson and put a hand on his shoulder "I know it's alot to take in"
"So if I died then how come I'm still alive?" Chris demanded
"We came back to save you" Piper replied
"We couldn't live without you, Chris" Wyatt cried
"Yeah Yeah cut the chit chat we have bigger problems" Prue scolded
"Mommy are you going to be okay?" Patty asked frightfully
"Mommy is going to be fine sweetie" Coop assured her
"Mom your burning up" Prue exclaimed
"Brillaint Prue you should be a doctor, someone poisoned has a fever" Pamela sarcastically said
Prue threw a pen at Pamela who deflected it using her deflection power sending it to Prue's forehead
"Ow!" She complained
"Girls stop fighting!" Piper scolded
"Yes Aunt Piper" The girls said obediently
"Pheobe here drink some water" Coop said handing her a glass of water
Pheobe took the glass in her shaking hands and drank the contents
"How long did the demon say until we could get the antidote?" Coop asked
"5 days" Paige answered
"5 DAYS!" Coop exclaimed
"But what if mom is-" Peyton was interrupted by Prue
"Shut up" She hissed
"Prue is mommy gonna die?" Melinda asked with her eyes wide as saucers
"Not if I can help it" Prue said confidently
"We are going to do everything we can to keep your mother safe" Piper said enfolding the girls in a hug
"Auntie Piper if mommy dies will you be our mommy?" Melinda looked up at her aunt
"Oh my Gosh Mellie, SHUT UP!" Patty hissed shoving her
"Aunt Piper please" Mellie pleaded giving her the puppy dog eyes
"She's not going to die" Piper said not unkindly
Melinda moved to her other Aunt "Auntie Paige will you be my mommy?"
"Sweetie I will always love you but your mommy's right there" Paige said sadly
Pheobe tried not to be hurt after all Melinda was only 6, she didn't understand what was happening, but her daughter's desperate attempt to find a new mom hurt way more than any athame ever could
"Melinda your mom is right here" Coop barked
4 days later...
Pheobe was a lot worse and was getting to the point where she could barely move without crying out in pain
Piper and Paige were getting worried.
"Aunt Piper, Aunt Paige, mom wants to talk to youPeyton said, Peyton's eyes were swollen, her red hair was disshevled and her brown eyes were red and baggy
Piper nodded and pulled Paige up to her bedroom
"Hey" Pheobe whispered
"Hey Pheebs, Peyton said you wanted to see us?" Piper said planting a kiss on her forehead
"What's up?" Paige asked
"I want you to take care of my girls if I die" Pheobe weakly said
"Pheobe your not going to die" Piper said on the verge of tears
"Please promise me" Pheobe pleaded
"Pheobe your going to be fine, Akala will get the antidote and you can watch your girls grow up and have your baby" Paige was starting to cry
Pheobe sadly shook her head
"The demon said I'd probably die in 5 days right?"
"Yeah, so?" Piper asked
"It's been 5 days almost 6"
"No don't say that, Akala will come back she has to" Paige said with false confidence
"Please promise me that you'll help Coop take care of the girls"
"Pheobe" Paige protested
"Paige please" Pheobe begged
"Ok" She sobbed
"Piper?" Pheobe implored
"Y-You can't give up Pheobe" Piper wailed
Pheobe smiled weakly "I'm not giving up, I'm accepting my fate"
"I love youyou" She whispered and then fell asleep
"LEO!" Piper wailed
"What what's wrong" he asked nervously
"Is- Is she?" Piper stuttered
"No not yet it's almost time though" Leo sadly informed his wife
a few minutes later all of the Halliwells were crowded in Piper's bedroom when Akala shimmered in
"She's not dead yet is she?" Akala asked
"What took you so long?" Piper demanded
"The seller wanted a higher price than I thought"
"Well give her the antidote" Paige snarled
"I think it is best if Piper does it" Akala decided
Piper nodded and took the antidote from Akala.
Leo tipped her head back and Piper poured the green vial into Pheobe's mouth
Pheobe wailed in pain and started seizing
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?" Paige yelled
"I never said the antidote was pleasent" Akala defended
"Hold her down" Leo instructed Coop and Victor
"She'll be in agony for a few hours and after that if she survives she will very weak ," Akala explained
"And the baby?" Piper coldy said
"Should be fine" Akala answered
"Funny how you didn't mention all of this when we agreed to help you" Paige growled
"Speaking of helping me I believe we had a deal" Akala smiled
"When we know our sister is alive" Paige voiced
"No I think NOW!" Akala snarled grabbing Piper and Paige's hands shimmering out
"Hey!" Paige protested
"That's Faith now kill her" Akala instructed
Piper and Paige turned their heads expecting to see a demon, but instead they found a girl around the age of 14, chained to a wall, with a wound on her shoulder, the blood matching the color of her red hair, her blue eyes shone with fear
"She's a demon? " Paige questioned
"She's a witch Akala answered
"You said she was a demon" Piper accused
"I never said she was you just assumed that" Akala suppressed a smile
Piper was extremely confused "But your a demon"
"Half demon half witch, my father was a witch and he fell in love with my mother, he ran away after she killed his sister, he fell in love with a witch named Joy and they had my sister and my other sister Hope 2 years later, and our brother Charlie2 years after that, Joy died giving birth to Charlie , I can't get Hope's power yet she has geokinesis, manipulation of the earth and Charlie has Cyrokinesis, manipulation of ice I can't tak their powers until they're 14, " Akala explained
"Why do you want her powers so bad?" Piper askes
"She has aerokinesis, she can manipulate air, I want her power so I can take over the underworld, so hurry up and kill her"
"Not a chance" Piper said trying to blow up Akala
Akala smiled and threw her against the wall "Nice try Piper"
"Sword" Paige called "Heart"
Akala grabbed the sword in midair before it hit her chest
Paige ran over to Faith and tried to free her.
Akala swung the sword
"LOOK OUT!" Faith called
Paige ducked just before the sword hit her and and instead hit the shackles freeing the young witch
"I TRUSTED YOU , WE GREW UP TOGETHER AND YOU TRIED TO KILL ME, I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!" Faith wailed
"I used to love you until my mom found me and said you were holding me back"
"We were so close, Camille" Faith sobbed
"IT'S AKALA NOW!" The demon roared
Faith held out her hands and blew her sister right into a sword
"NOOOOOO" Akala screamed bursting into flames
"Thanks" Paigs said breathlessly
Piper got to her feet
"It's been hours we should get back" Piper said
"My family they must be looking for me" Faith cried
"We can give you a ride, where do you live?" Piper asked
Paige orbed on the porch of a big white house, Faith rang the doorbell
The door swung open
A young boy around the age of 10 openee the door, his eyes were bloodshot and puffy like he'd been crying
"Faith?" He gasped
"Hey" she smiled weakly and collapsed
"FAITH!" Paige yelled
"LEO!" Piper called
Leo orbed in "What's up?"
"Heal" Piper commanded pointing at Faith and 5 seconds later Faith stood up perfectly fine
Leo orbed out
"Faith!" they flung himself himself on to her
"DAD, HOPE IT'S FAITH" he called
In a flash a man and young girl joined the hug fest
Faith pointed at Piper and Paige"Dad this is Paige and Piper they saved me"
"Actually she saved us" Piper explained
"Who took you and Camille?"Her father demanded
"It was Camille she gave up her human side and succumbed to her demon side she tried to kill me and take my powers" Faith admitted
"What?" Faith's dad gasped
"I-I didn't mean to kill her" Faith sobbed
"It was an accident, sweetie" he said soothingly
"Paige we should go we've been gone for hours" Piper whispered
Paige nodded and they orbed back to the manor
They walked into the bedroom and saw Pheone laying in the bed talking and laughing with Coop
Paige and Piper ran over to Pheobe and gave her a hug
"Oh my Gosh we thought we lost you" Piper murmured into Pheobe's hair
"She was in a lot of pain and in and out of consciousness until 15 minutes ago" Leo informed the girls "she's still pretty weak and can't sit up but she's gonna be fine"
"And the baby?" Piper asked
"Healthy" Coop answered
"So what happened?" Wyatt asked
Piper and Paige explained everything.
8 months later Pheobe and Coop welcomed their sixth and seventh child into the world a daughter named Maggie, and a son named James. At the next family get together Piper looked at her family smiling. Her son was alive again her sister was alive and they helped a family be together again, life didn't get much better than this.
