Chp. 14

It had been almost 5 months since then and Prue was almost ready to pop. The baby was due in another couple days and the arrangements were all ready. Prue would have a natural birth at the hospital. She wanted it to be as normal as possible which wasn't going to be easy but Prue sure as hell wasn't going to give up without one hell of a fight. Everybody was gone and she had the house to herself. Prue's favourite thing to do lately was to go into the baby's room and sit on the rocking chair and be alone with her unborn child. She really couldn't wait to be a mother. Prue really didn't like to be alone in the house though. She felt to vulnerable to be attacked and quite powerless really. The doctor had said to take it easy for a few more days at least until the baby was born. Prue knew better than to do anything but that. Suddenly two demons appeared in the baby's room. Prue gasped and tried to scream for help. A few white lighters who were supposed to be protecting Prue and the baby appeared and tried to help. Unfortunately the demons attacked them and ended up leaving with Prue.

Piper and Paige got home about an hour later.

"PRUE!!!" they called. No answer they called again but still nothing. The girls ran upstairs to try and find their sister. What if something happened to her? Finally a white lighter appeared and filled the two sisters in on what had just happened.

"Oh my god we have to cal Cole!" Paige shrieked as she pulled out her cell phone and dialled Cole's number.

"Hello, Turner," Cole answered.

"Cole? Cole? Look Prue's been captured by demons and we need you here right away!" Paige screamed.

"What?!" Cole said have yelling.

"No time to explain just get your little white ass here right now!" Cole clicked off and looked around to make sure no one saw him. He then left a note for his boss to read and shimmered to the manor. As soon as he got there, he bolted upstairs to find his sister-in-laws.

"Cole!" Piper screamed as she looked behind her and saw Cole.

"Okay what the hell happened?"

"Look the elders are retrieving some information but she's definitely in the underworld. Leo nor the other white lighters can sense her. He said he'd be back in a few minutes what the hell is taking him so god damn long?" Piper asked nobody in particular. She was getting very frustrated. What the hell was all this damn protection for if they couldn't even protect her witch sister? Finally Leo showed up.

"Well," Piper demanded.

"Well what do you want the good or the bad first?" Leo asked a worried look on his face.

"The good," Paige answered for Piper and Cole.

"Okay well it shouldn't be too hard to rescue her from the demon that has her hostage at the moment," Leo replied.

"That's your idea of good news!" Piper screamed in an outraged tone.

"Well I thought it was kinda some good news at least it's not like you have to go up against the source or anything!" Leo said defensively.

"Well tell us the bad news then," Piper said in a hostile tone and a scowl on her face.

"Prue's gone into labour and if we don't get to her soon then your baby won't be yours anymore," Leo said trying not to piss Piper off.

"Oh shit we have to get down there then before it's too late!" Paige shouted alarmed.

"I swear I'll kill you if you do anything to my baby!" Prue screamed. She had gone into labour about 2 hours ago and she had no idea if her sisters or Cole ever knew where she was.

"Not to worry you nor your sisters will be around for too much longer anyways. Once your baby is born I'll have the three of you disposed of and I shall raise that little infant of yours to be the greatest power the world will ever see just as the prophecy says."

"Who the hell are you anyways?"

"Why how rude of me not to introduce myself. My name is Castor. I am the demon of pain. I can inflict as much pain on anyone I please at anytime so don't get on my bad side or you'll pay for it."

Great, Prue thought to herself. Just what she needed, the demon of pain hanging around while she was already in enough pain.

"What the hell do you want with my baby anyways?"

"Just the power to become the ruler of all evil beings here in the underworld."

Prue then let out a scream as another contraction passed.

"Fantastic, that's what I want to here."

"Shut up!" Prue screamed at Castor.

"Bianca, I need you to check our little friend here. She just screamed in pain and I'm getting inpatient. I need to know how much longer it will be until I will finally be able to get rid of the Charmed Ones for good!" A woman with blonde hair and a pale face then walked over to Prue and checked her.

"Her contractions are about 5 minutes apart. It shouldn't be too long now master," the woman reported back to her master.

"Fantastic! You may be dismissed now, I will call when I need you again," Castor replied.

Piper began to pace. She was really worried about Prue and wasn't sure what to do about it. Paige was looking through the book trying to pass the time until Leo appeared. Finally he appeared.

"Okay Paige how fast do you think you can write a spell?" Leo asked.

"Oh I don't know a couple minutes or so depending on how powerful it needs to be. Now give us some dirt on Prue!" Paige replied.

"Okay well the demon that has taken her hostage is Castor and he is the demon of pain. He can cause both physical and emotional pain on anyone he pleases and to whatever extent he wants," Leo said quickly, "so write a spell and we have to get down there before it's too late." Cole then shimmered in behind Leo. He had gone to find out where Prue was. He had gotten lucky as he had almost blown his cover or so he thought. He had pretended to be the servant Castor had called for which seemed to have worked very well although he still had a feeling that Castor might have realised who he really was.

"Prue's contractions are really close together!" Cole announced in a breathy voice, "we have to get there soon or we're all screwed."

"Okay I'm all done the spell let's go!" Paige announced and they were off to the underworld.
