Sense and Rescue

"Paige, let Leo heal you," Piper was saying to me. Why was she worrying about me when the Source had just kidnapped Bree?

"I'm fine," I answered. I was so focused on finding Bree that my broken wrist wasn't even registering. Well that is until Phoebe deliberately grabbed me.

'Ow!" I squealed, jumping in pain. I looked down at my wrist and cringed at just how awful it looked.

"Ok…maybe he can heal me," I sighed, offering up my injury. Leo gave me a smile as he placed on hand over my wrist and the other over my forearm. A golden light shown over the two spots and slowly my body healed itself.

"Thanks," I murmured.

"Are you guys ok?" I asked, the Source's attack just now registering in my head.

"We're fine," Piper assured me.

"I just…I was so focused on saving her…and I couldn't even do that," I breathed, fighting back tears.

"We'll get her back. We aren't going to lose this innocent," Phoebe said, hugging me tightly.

"But isn't this what he wants? To lure you down there…where Leo can't get to you?" Cole interjected.

"It doesn't matter if it's a trap or not, Cole. We're going. We can't just let him hurt our niece. This is personal," Phoebe spat.

"At least let me go with you….I can distract some of his flunkies," Cole begged.

"Why are you so keen on going back down there?" I shot.

"Because this is clearly important to Phoebe. And I want to support her in it," he quipped back.

"Don't forget it was you who got us into this mess," I accused.

"I already told you. I didn't mean to for it to slip. But when you've got all manner of hellfire eating you alive, you don't really have much choice," he hissed.

"Guys, let's not get into this again, please. We need to go save our niece. If anything happened to her…Prue would freak out," Piper interjected. I just nodded and glared at Cole one more time before we headed up to the attic to scry for her. I leaned over the map, my arm starting to get sore as the crystal simply continued to spin.

"It's not working," I complained. Piper and Phoebe were looking through the Book but had found nothing to help locate her. Suddenly Leo spoke up.

"You could try sensing her, Paige. She is your innocent first and foremost. And you are part whitelighter," he suggested.

"I've been a witch for like two months, Leo. I can't even orb right," I retorted.

"Just try. Close your eyes. Focus on Brianna. Block everything else out of your mind," he coached. I raised a skeptical eyebrow at him but did as he instructed anyways. I guess at this point anything was worth a shot.

"Do you feel anything?" Leo asked.

"Yeah…how stupid I must look," I answered, opening my eyes.

"Come on Paige. Just try and focus. You can do this. Brianna needs you," Leo said sternly. I let out a long sigh but closed my eyes again and concentrated. I knew my sisters were counting on me.

I closed all the sound out of the room, focusing only on Brianna. I pictured her in my mind, willing myself to find her. And it worked. I could feel her fear and panic. I gasped a little as I could actually see where she was. The Source was towering over her. I opened my eyes and looked at Leo. Now I knew what Phoebe felt like getting premonitions.

"I found her," I said, sounding elated.

"Great…so we need a plan. We can't just go in there without a plan," Piper rambled.

"I think there is a spell in the Book to vanquish the Source," Leo offered.

"He can't be vanquished," Cole said off-handedly.

"Well we're going to see about that," I spat at him as Leo turned the pedestal around and we looked at the page on the Source. There was indeed a spell and I scribbled it down.

"Be careful," Leo breathed, giving Piper a hug and kiss as we joined hands. With one last look between us, I concentrated and managed to orb us into the Underworld. We ended up a few yards away from where I'd seen Bree.

"Ok, so what's the plan?" I asked in a whisper.

"How about…I distract the Source while you get her out?" Cole whispered back in my ear. I nearly jumped a good half a foot.

"We told you not to come," I hissed.

"Since when do I listen to you?" he asked.

"Just…cover us," Phoebe hissed at him. He pouted by nodded. We advanced slowly towards the cave. I was holding my breath, praying we could get Bree out of there without having to confront the Source. Of course…as seemed the usual lately I was highly disappointed. As soon as we stepped into view so did the Source.

"Foolish witches. You fell right into my trap," he sneered.

"Actually…see we knew you'd be expecting us," Piper replied coolly, flicking her wrists at him, sending him flying into a wall.

"And we have back and we're not afraid to use it," I added. Piper looked at me like I hd three heads.

"The spell," I mouthed to her. With Piper distracting the Source, I inched my way over to Bree.

"Come on…we're getting you out of here," I whispered.

"Paige, look out!" Phoebe called as the Source came at me. I orbed out just in time with Bree. We reappeared in the same spot. I was clinging tightly to her this time. I dragged Bree back with me so my sisters and I could regroup.

"Bree. Use your power," Phoebe urged.

"I don't know how," she yelped.

"Concentrate. Our power comes from our emotions," Piper coached as we all ducked out of the way of an energy ball.

"Get really mad at him and send him flying," I urged. She bit her lip and focused. She shook her arm at him and he bounced in the air a couple times before falling to the ground.

"That's…a start," I commented.

"Try again," Phoebe said, starting to sound desperate. From behind us I could hear Cole's voice.

"Could you hurry it up just a little?" he called. It sounded like he was having a hard time. I watched as Bree sent the Source flying into the opposite wall this time.

"Good…you're starting to get the hang of it," Piper said as we emerged from our hiding place. I pulled the spell from my pocket. I looked at Piper and Phoebe.

"Do you think it would make it more powerful if Bree read it with us?" I asked.

"It couldn't hurt. The Power of Three plus one," Phoebe answered. Bree looked at us nervously but joined hands with Piper and myself. I held the spell out so we could all read it.

"Prudence, Patricia, Penelope, Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura and Grace. Halliwell witches stand strong beside us. Vanquish this evil from time and space," we chanted in one voice. Before our eyes the Source began to writhe in agony.

"Say it again," Cole shouted.

"Prudence, Patricia, Penelope, Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura and Grace. Halliwell witches stand strong beside us. Vanquish this evil from time and space," we chanted again. The spell took a stronger hold and the Source continued to burn in flame. Finally he blew up into a million tiny pieces of ash. I looked down to see we were all covered.

"Demon ash…this never comes out," Piper groaned. Cole joined us.

"I stand corrected. He can be vanquished," he sighed. Piper, Phoebe and I all hugged Bree tightly, for the moment not thinking about stray demons or Source left-overs.

"Hate to rush the touchy moment but if we don't get out of here now…we're dead," Cole interrupted. Without a word, I orbed us home. We reappeared in the attic to find a very worried looking Leo.

"You're safe," he breathed, seeing us all in one piece.

"What happened?" he asked, noting our filthy clothes.

"Oh you know…Source left-overs," Piper answered with a smile, leaning in and kissing Leo.

"You vanquished him?" he asked, sounding surprised.

"Don't sound so surprised, Leo. You were the one who told them there was a spell to do it," Cole commented.

"Ok…that's enough of you. Go…shimmer somewhere else," Piper snapped.

"Piper…not again," Phoebe whined.

"I've had enough of his snide remarks for today," she sighed.

"Everybody wearing the newly vanquished demon clothing line…follow me," she ordered and we all marched downstairs.

As we waited for the laundry to be done in the washer, we all sat around the kitchen table enjoying hot cups of coffee. Bree was trying ot avoid eye contact.

"Sorry I attacked you, Aunt Piper," she murmured.

"Oh honey you don't have to apologize. You're not really a Halliwell until you have turned evil at some point," Piper said with a smile.

"Or dated something evil," I added.

"Was that a really not so subtle Cole reference?" Phoebe asked.

"Maybe," I replied.

Before any of us could open our mouths there was a loud crash upstairs. Piper groaned and we all started to stand up.

"Leo?" she called.

"Piper…you might want to come see this," he called, his voice hoarse. Exchanging curious glances the four of us headed upstairs to see what he was yelling about.
