Leo and Cole quickly ran to Phoebes side the minute the wall of fire disappeared, which was soon after the last demon shimmered out.
"Phoebe. Oh god are you ok?" Cole nearly scooped her in his arms as she cried out in pain. "Phoebe?"
"Make it stop Cole. It hurts so bad." She clutched on to his shirt as a wave of pain swept through her.
Leo looked on as Cole tried to comfort Phoebe but was not having any luck. That was when he noticed it.
"Phoebe you're bleeding again!" He knelt down beside her and almost immediately the golden glow came from his hands as they sealed the wound where the blood was coming from
"What's going on Cole? I healed her wound ,you said it was the poison I couldn't heal?" Leo asked in concern for his charge. But she was more then that, she was also his sister as much as they were to each other.
"I'm not sure. Maybe it was because the demon kicked her there or maybe its aside effect of the poison. It's eating its way through her and the first place it goes is the wound that she received to get the poison in the first place." Cole thought out loud, worried for the woman that had stolen his heart. Picking her up in his arms he cradled her close to him. "Lets go back to the Manor and figure this out?
"I need to get my sisters." Phoebe said weakly through her know quiet sobs.
"We will Phoebe but we can't go down there not knowing what we are getting into." Cole explained as he looked at Leo with concern, and saw his own fears etched in the face of the whitelighter. They could be lost forever and not even the remaining Charmed One could save them.
The darkness was all around her though she didn't even know where she was. She had a vague recollection of what had happened but she wasn't sure if it was real or not. Had she held her sister? Was she really with them again? She sat up and felt the cold rock behind her. Was she alone? No she sensed another with her.
"Who's there?" she asked to the darkness but received no reply. Her mind tried to wrap around what had happened. She was with Andy and then she felt this pull. Sisters. Had Piper brought her back using Dark Magic? She couldn't believe her sister would do that. Neither of them would do that. "Piper. Why?" she asked to no one as she realized that what she saw was true.
"Because I love you, and I couldn't go on without you." The quiet voice answered from the darkness.
"Piper?"
"You're disappointed." Piper stated as she tried to get a look on Prues face.
"No. Confused right now, but I could never be disappointed in you. Or Phoebe."
"Phoebe. Oh god what have I done. I just wanted you back Prue is that so bad? And now I've killed our baby sister. I turned my back on her."
"You didn't kill her. She's fine. Cole and Leo are with her."
"No you don't understand. We fought when she tried to stop me, I blew up a pillar behind her and I knocked her out. Then I turned my back on her. All I could think of was getting you back, and that was when he stabbed her"
"And Leo healed her." Prue finished.
"He can't heal her. He stabbed her with a special poison that will slowly eat away at her and eventually kill her. There is no cure. I might as well have stabbed her myself. If I hadn't turned my back on her then he never would have..." Tears ran freely down Pipers cheek as she thought of her baby sister suffering the painful death she would have.
"Piper we can fix this."
"No you can not fix this. What is done is done." The voice echoed throughout the small room.
Neither sister had noticed the door open and letting in the light. But now as they looked up they saw the silhouette of a figure standing in front of the light.
"You belong to me now. And soon you will start to feel the evil curse through your veins. I'm certain Piper has already felt it. There is no turning back. Soon I will have two of the most powerful witches on my side and doing my bidding. Until I bore of you and I decide to kill you. For eventually I will. Consider it pay back for all the demons you have killed."
"It will never happen." Prue spat at him as she locked into the hooded figure to where she thought his eyes would be.
"Always the strong one weren't you Prue. You should be thanking your sister and me. We have returned you to life. Returned you to your sisters."
"By turning us evil. I will fight you until you have no choice but to kill me. I will not do your bidding for you."
"It was not me that turned you evil Prue, it was Piper. You see her own magic let her down so she decided to try another method to bring you back. And once she started down that path there was no going back for either of you. Now Phoebe could have joined you but she refused to help. She will suffer her own fate soon enough." He waved his hand opening a window.
Prue and Piper looked on as Phoebe lay on the couch clutching her stomach as waves of pain washed over her and she cried out.
"Leave her be you bastard." Prue snarled at him
"I didn't touch her. But if you like I can give you the demon that did this to her. Consider it a welcome present." He snapped his hand and a demon was ushered in.
"You have done well Drofnas. You have brought me two of the Charmed Ones and the youngest suffers alone to await her own death. But I promised a gift to the newest members of our family."
Piper glared at the demon before her. He had tricked her into using dark magic. Her only thought at that moment was to kill him as he had her sister. Throwing her hands forward in the dark she smiled with satisfaction as he blow up into a million pieces. It happened so fast no one even saw it coming.
Prue watched in horror as Piper used her magic to kill in revenge.
"You are well on your way to a new way of life Piper. Using your magic for revenge. A true sign of a good warlock." He laughed knowing she was now lost to him.
Piper felt the blood in her boil as she had killed the demon that had killed her sister. But she felt good inside, a new kind of good. A power was surging through her that she couldn't explain what it was, but she liked it.
He stepped closer to her and ran his hand down her cheek to her neck. "It felt good to kill him didn't it?" He almost purred at her knowing she would respond to his voice and his touch. "You want to do it again and again don't you. Feeling that power rush through your veins is your true destiny Piper. I can give you more demons Piper. More demons that you can get revenge on. What about Shax? You want him don't you? He killed your sister too."
Piper felt her blood almost boil over inside as he spoke. Yes she wanted Shax. He took Prue from her. He was the one that started all this if it wasn't for him then she would not have to bring Prue back and Phoebe would not have tried to stop her.
She looked up into the hood almost seeing what was truly hidden, "Yes. I want him too." she answered almost metallic wanting to kill again. She could feel her body react as if she was on fire and had to take the actions to release what she was building inside. She had only felt this way a few times before as her heat started to threaten to take over her. She nearly cried out in the excitement she was getting. If she didn't release it soon she thought she herself would explode.
Prue looked on as he tried to get Piper to kill again. She couldn't just stand there and do nothing. She had tried to go to them but soon felt cold hands wrapping around her arms preventing her from moving to her sister.
"Piper fight it don't give in to your hate." She cried out but her sister was not listening to her.
"You will give in to eventually," a voice whispered in her ear. "Maybe I should do to you what I did to your precious baby. You should have heard her screams. It was almost as good as sex the way she cried and howled out with each crack of my whip. It was very erotic you know. Maybe I can get you to do that. And then you and I can have the same fun that I had with her after. She was good you know. Reacting to every move I made with her. My hand caressing her body and then finding its way to her. The way she reacted to just my fingers was too much for her even to handle. She needed more. Our bodies were like one. But it was even better when I watched her with some of my friendss. I'm sure you'd like that too." she whispered in her ear in a deep dark voice.
He almost made it sound musical the way he sounded. But to Prue it was not music. It only made her own blood boil, as she felt numb at what he said he had done to Phoebe.
"I will always remember and cherish the first time I thrust myself to her. The scream of her pain mixed with excitement nearly killed me."
"To bad it didn't." Prue said, as she couldn't hold in her own anger any longer as she raised her fist backward nailing him across the face sending him almost flying across the room clutching his face.
"You bitch. You'll pay for that." he quickly stood up and went to her. But he soon found himself back on the floor again. He felt the twist of his arm as she bent down towards him
"You are going to wish you never laid a finger on my sister." Prue growled down at him before making a quick move with her hands. Hearing the snap she smiled inwardly. But the cry of pain was what finally brought her out of her trance.
He stood by and watched as the eldest Charmed One give in to her own anger. He had instructed Crause to get Prue angry. And he knew that the only thing that would turn Prue to use magic in revenge was for Crause to tell her what had happened with Phoebe even if he had to make some of it up. He wanted a reaction from the witch and he wanted her angry. And his demon had not disappointed him yet again.
He smiled inwardly as she fought him and the snap of a broken bone only made him almost as excited as Crause was getting just thinking of what he had wanted to do with the youngest, yet was denied once again by the traitor.
Piper watched as Prue threw the demon to the ground from one of her martial arts moves. With no powers, that was all she could do. But she still had magic in her if not her use of words other then the powers she had given to her sisters soon after she died. The words he spoke to her sister even mad Piper angry but she knew this was Prues fight not hers. She just wanted Shax.
As Crause slowly stood up clutching his arm he glared at her. "You think that will stop me? You are a powerless witch in a world full of demons. Demons that would like nothing more then just to kill you for who you are."
Prue glared across the room at him. "Powerless? I think not." She said back to him as the next words came out of her mouth he looked on in shock and horror.
"Demon of hate, demon of fear
I seal your death with my own few words.
A loved one you hurt a loved one you tortured.
My own words send you back to the place in hell you deserve."
She looked into his eyes as she started to shake as she repeated it again. Feeling her own power surge through her with each word she spoke. Stopping only when he had burned into a fire of death.
Looking satisfied at the spot where he stood she suddenly felt an emptiness inside her.
"You have both done well. You are now mine forever. Killing for revenge was your key to evil. Now we can rid the world of all the good in the world and you two will be my slaves to such a task." He laughed as the bellow was heard throughout the underworld.
Piper and Prue both looked at each other and then to the figure before them. But there was a hollowness in the look
He had succeeded, he had turned two of the Charmed Ones evil. There was no stopping him now.
