Shax and the dark lord edged closer to the Charmed One.
"What are you guys doing? You're not going to kill me are you?" Phoebe said nervously. "That's the plan." The Dark Lord said.
Phoebe couldn't stop panic settling in.
"But I would be useful alive. You could um... lure my sisters or something."
The two demons just looked at her amused. Phoebe screamed and shut her eyes as the lord swung his staff across her body. She was shocked not to feel pain. Opening her eyes, she gasped when she saw Leo collapsed in a heap at her feet. She suddenly realized that the dark lord's weapon was one of the few that could mortally injure a whitelighter. Leo lifted a weak hand and orbed the male witch out of the room. He looked at her.
"No, Leo, I'm not leaving you." She cried, helpless in her chains as the dark figure loomed threateningly over her 'lighter.
"Phoebe." Leo's voice was soft but stern and she blinked back tears as she left the Underground in a swirl of pretty lights.
Piper frowned at the empty room as she lifted dinner on the kitchen table. Where were they? Chris cried out from the other room and Piper quickly ran to him.
"What is it baby?" Piper asked and the toddler pointed.
On the lounge was a body. Piper exhaled sharply. Her sister suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Phoebe!" Piper was so angry. "How could you do this?"
Phoebe backed away as Piper hurled verbal abuse at her.
"Piper, listen."
It was a while before Piper finally let Phoebe speak. She felt like throwing her sister off a cliff when she heard what happened.
"Piper..." Phoebe moved towards her tentatively.
"Stop it, just stop it!" Piper's hands leapt in the air as if she was going to blow up something. "Leo is going to die because of you. He probably already is dead."
Phoebe felt like she had been stung but kept trying to get through to her sister. She didn't think it was best to argue that their decision had been just as much Leo's as it had been her's.
"We need the power of three. It's not too late to save him."
Piper screamed for the last time and sank on a chair, frustrated.
"She's right." Paige stormed in with fierce intensity.
Piper stared blankly at the wall.
"C'mon Piper." Phoebe coaxed, the guilt still tearing her apart.
Piper had one look at her son and another at Paige and picked herself up.
Leo was cold. The demons were enjoying seeing him suffer so much they decided to make his death as slow as possible. C'mon Piper and Paige. Leo thought desperately. I've never needed you more in my life. Then he saw the light and realized his prayers had come true. Phoebe had a spell-on-the-go and delivered it as soon as they arrived at their destination. Shax's eyes widened in horror as he saw all three sisters were present.
A loved one lies hurt in distress
From you evil demons two
Now we have the light and its power
We will destroy and divide you
The sisters chimed in, three voices becoming one.
Piper spluttered in disbelief. "That's the worst spell of all time."
Phoebe smiled. "But it worked."
"Nooooooooooooo" Shax burst in flames but the dark lord was still standing, only injured.
"Looks like we need more firepower." Piper said, raising her hands to blow him up, but again, nothing much happened.
He spun fireballs at Paige but she orbed them out of the way. Paige ran closer to him and he disappeared.
"Damn it." She said, disappointed. "What a coward."
Piper sat next to her husband on the stone cold floor. She knew that with the Elder's help, her husband would be fine.
"Too bad you didn't see us just kick ass." She kissed his cheek ad smiled at her sisters. "It's like we never left magic"
