Here's the next chapter. And I must say that I was worried about how some people would react to my killing Paige. I'm glad that most of you did not mind and that a lot of you were glad, as was I.

Ava-Elizabeth never knew Paige. She had just heard about her. The only thing that she knew was that Paige was trying to kill her family. She didn't have the control that Cole had since he had known them and knew they were still his wife's family.

Chapter 7-Healing(I suck at titles)

Pheobe ran to her car, leaving no note and telling nobody that she had left. All she knew was that her baby needed her. She sensed that he was calling for her and no one would stop her from getting to him. She threw her purse in the passenger seat and drove as fast as she could, thanking God that there was no traffic at the moment.

She burst through the doors and ran into the living room, not knowing what to expect. She saw her older sister in the corner of the room, knocked out, her husband in the middle of the room, Elizabeth standing over him, trying to revive him, and her baby boy standing in his playpen screaming at the top of his lungs, peering over the walls that confined him at his unconscious father.

"Elizabeth, get him out of here!" Pheobe screamed at her mother-in-law as she made her way over to her husband.

Elizabeth took the baby to his bedroom and returned in only a few moments, waiting for the question she knew was about to be asked.

"What happened?" Pheobe asked as she pulled Cole's head into her lap.

"They attacked us," Elizabeth answered her.

"They? Where's Paige?" Pheobe asked.

"Well, what happened was they orbed in when I was gone and when I got here, Cole was on the ground. I think he was hit with a potion. Paige was holding Ben. She had a potion in her hand. I had to do it," Elizabeth said.

"Oh God," Pheobe said as she saw the pile of ashes.

"I'm so sorry, but I had to," Elizabeth said, genuinely sorry it had came to that.

"I know. If you wouldn't have done it, she would have killed Ben. I understand," Pheobe said and then looked at Cole. "What are we supposed to do? We can't call a whitelighter and we can't exactly take him to the hospital."

"I know a demonic healer," Elizabeth said. "But what about your other sister?"

"Leo!" Pheobe screamed, knowing that the barrier that kept him from orbing in was now broken and he would be able to heal his wife.

He orbed in a few moments later.

"What the hell happened?" Leo asked as he made his way over to Piper.

"They attacked my family," Pheobe said as she kissed Cole's forehead one last time before Elizabeth shimmered out with him. "Heal your wife and get her out of here. She better not come after my son again."

Leo saw the ashes in the middle of the room.

"You killed your own sister for a demon!" Leo screamed.

"I didn't kill her, Leo. I could never kill her. I was at work. Paige and Piper orbed here and threw a potion at Cole. Elizabeth had to kill Paige to save my son," Pheobe explained.

She still loved her family but she couldn't return to them not after everything that had happened. She was hurting. She hated the fact that her sister had died but it couldn't have been avoided. She kept telling herself that it had to happen, that they would have killed her baby if Elizabeth hadn't stopped them. It hurt so much that she had been forced to choose between the people she loved the most. If they had just accepted them, it wouldn't have happened.

"You broke the Power of Three. Do you know what that means?" Leo asked as his hands glowed over Piper.

"Our Powers as Charmed Ones are tied to our emotions so the Power of Three was broken when I left over a year ago," Pheobe said, wanting to defend herself and her family.

"Paige, did you get him?" Piper asked as she woke up.

Pheobe ran up the stairs after hearing that, hoping that they would take it as a hint to leave. She sat in Ben's nursery rocking the child who continued to cry, traumatized by what had happened.

"It's okay. Daddy's going to be fine," Pheobe told the baby.

She hoped that she was right, that Elizabeth would bring her husband back, safe and sound.

She sat there rocking Ben for over an hour, until the child finally drifted off to sleep, too tired to keep crying.

Short chapter. I keep getting writer's block. I promise the next chapter will be better.
