Okay, this yet another short chapter but there's just a lot of crap going on in my life so unfortunately I have to pick between short chapters or no updates.
Prue came into the manor with Piper behind her.
"I quit" Prue said.
"You've only been to one class" Piper said.
"I fell of the stupid little ball thingy" Prue said. "Twice!"
"You just have to get the hang of it" Piper said.
"And the instructor was so peppy" Prue said. "I mean she's past the normal level of peppy, I wanted to beat her up"
"You didn't form any fireballs did you?" Piper asked a little concerned.
"One" Prue said. "And it was during deep relaxation so everyone had their eyes closed"
"I take it you weren't relaxing then" Piper said.
"Every single woman there was so happy and active" Prue said. "They were all still working and talking about how the nursery wasn't going to be finished in time. It made me want to gag. I don't fit in there! I'm definitely not going next week"
"Why?" Piper asked.
"Didn't I just list a bunch of reasons?" Prue asked.
"But it's good for you and the babies" Piper said.
"Yes, cause my stress level shooting up is excellent for the babies" Prue said.
"Fine, don't go" Piper said.
"I'm not going to" Prue said.
Piper rolled her eyes. The phone began to ring.
"Hey did you ever tell Dad you were pregnant?" Piper asked, walking to get the phone.
"No" Prue said. "I don't think we should let him know until after this is all over"
Piper nodded and answered the phone. Prue went to the couch in the living room and sat down. The call was an employee from the club. She had to go back in. After she hung up the phone she went into the living room to tell Prue they had to go back to the club. In the living room she found her sister already sound asleep. Piper smiled and put a blanket over her sister. She went into the kitchen.
"Leo" Piper said.
Leo orbed into the room.
"Where's Prue?" Leo asked, knowing it was dangerous for her to be left alone.
"Asleep in the living room, I need you to stay with her while I go to the club" Piper said.
"Okay" Leo said.
"Good. You've been gone a lot lately, charges getting needy?" Piper asked.
"Actually my only charges until the babies are born and safe are you guys" Leo said. "I've been in meetings"
"I see" Piper said. "Any of them about Prue?"
"You know I can't say" Leo said.
"All I want to know is that they have a plan that's going to keep her safe" Piper said. "We don't have much time left. Phoebe was online and it said over half the twins born are born early. Prue doesn't even have a doctor, what if something went wrong? I mean all the Elders focus on is the magical part, Prue's still human"
"It'll work out Piper" Leo said. "Now, go to the club and I'll watch Prue"
Leo quickly kissed Piper and she left. In the living room Prue was still sleeping. Leo looked in on her and saw tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Prue" Leo said softly.
Prue sat quickly.
"You were crying" Leo said.
"It was just a bad dream" Prue said.
"Are you sure?" Leo asked.
"I'm fine" Prue said. "And don't tell Piper and Phoebe about it, they'll just worry"
Leo nodded. Prue attempted to push herself up from the couch. Eventually Leo had to help her up. It was then he noticed just how tired Prue looked.
"Maybe you should try to go back to sleep" Leo said, concerned.
Prue smiled weakly and shook her head.
"Not while the twins are having a wrestling match" Prue said. "Even in the womb they won't stop fighting"
Prue headed into the kitchen while Leo debated if he should follow. He waited for a few minutes before following. In the kitchen Prue had started to make a sandwich.
"Well, you lasted longer than Phoebe" Prue said.
"What?" Leo asked confused.
"I'm keeping tabs on how long you guys let me be in a room for" Prue said. "So far Piper's held out the longest"
"We're just…"
"If you even think about completing that sentence I'll snap" Prue said. "Eventually I'm going to have to have a little time to myself. I haven't stepped in my darkroom in three months"
It was quiet for a second. A fireball formed in Prue's hand and was thrown in the direction of the entrance of the kitchen. Prue looked confused.
"Is anyone there?" Prue asked.
Prue moved to go check but Leo stopped her.
"Stay here" Leo said.
Leo stepped out of the kitchen. Prue saw a darklighter orb into the room.
"Leo! Orb!" Prue exclaimed.
It was too late, Leo had already been shot. Prue grabbed a knife and threw it at the darklighter. He orbed out and orbed behind Prue. He grabbed her arms. Suddenly her hands started burning the darklighter's flesh. He screamed in pain. Prue turned and a white stream shot out of one hand and a fire stream shot out of the other. He exploded. Prue turned to run to Leo but someone grabbed her arm and shimmered without her.

THAT EVENING
Piper opened the door to the manor.
"Leo, Prue, I'm home" Piper said.
There was no response. Piper started walking further into the manor. She saw Leo lying on the floor.
"Leo" Piper said, running over to him.
She grabbed his wrist and felt for a pulse.
"No, Leo, no" Piper said.
She gently shook him.
"Leo, wake up" Piper said. "Leo"
Tears started to stream down her face but she still stood up.
"Prue!" Piper called. "Prue!"
She looked into the kitchen and saw an uneaten sandwich on the counter. Various things were scattered all over the kitchen. A scorch mark was on the floor.
"No" Piper said falling to her knees.
She started to sob when she heard the front door shut.
"Anyone home?" Phoebe's voice asked, coming into the manor.
"Phoebe" Piper sobbed.
Phoebe hurried into the kitchen. She stopped when she saw Leo.
"Piper" Phoebe said, in shock.
"He's dead" Piper sobbed. "He's dead and Prue's gone"
"No, that can't be right, the Elders were watching" Phoebe said.
Just then an Elder orbed into the kitchen with a concerned look on her face.
"What happened?" Phoebe asked.
"Your sister has been taken by a demon" the Elder said. "We never sensed anything was wrong. The demon must have known what we were doing and they blocked it"
"What about Leo?" Piper asked sobbing.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do" the Elder said. "Right now you have to find your sister, or else the world will be in serious trouble"
Piper looked at Leo, tears still streaming down her cheeks.
"How can we find her?" Piper asked.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
SOMEWHERE
Prue pulled away from the demon.
"What do you what with me?" Prue asked.
"I want you dead" the demon said.
"If you kill me, Caleb dies too" Prue said.
The demon laughed.
"Exactly"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
ATTIC
Phoebe and Piper were at the book. The Elder stood near them. As they were flipping through the book the Source shimmered in. Piper and Phoebe moved in front of the Elder.
"I'm not here to harm you" the Source said.
"Where's Prue?" Phoebe asked, angrily.
"That's what I've come to help you find out" the Source said. "I didn't take her"
"You really expect us to believe that?" Piper asked.
"Id you want me to help you find your sister you will" the Source said.
"Don't believe him" the Elder said. "He's just trying to trick you"
The Source laughed.
"Why would I go to all this trouble?" the Source said. "I don't want your sister…not yet at least"
"Why should we believe you, you've been trying to kill us since day one" Phoebe said.
"That may be true but I need your sister to get my heir" the Source said. "And I can't well have her dead"
"What do what us to do?" Piper asked.
"Piper, you can't be serious" Phoebe said.
"I lost my husband, I will not lose my sister, Phoebe" Piper said. "I can't lose her"
"I won't allow you to work with him" the Elder said.
Piper turned to the Elder.
"You don't have a choice" Piper said.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
First off, remember before everyone starts sending me hate letters. I'm a Piper-Leo fan. So don't put me on your hit list yet.
