"Okay, go start the jeep and I'll get dressed and meet you out there in five."
Piper and Phoebe spent half of the car ride to the hospital in silence. Phoebe turned on the radio and searched through the channels, cursing because all the stations were playing commercials. She shut the radio off.
"Prue came to me in my dreams last night." Piper whispered suddenly.
"What! She didn't talk to me.." Phoebe said, a slight hint of jealousy in her voice.
"She told me I need to let Paige in to my life..."
"She's right..." Phoebe began.
"Let me finish. I want to let her in my life Phoebe. I really do. I'm just so afraid of losing her. But I understand now that we will protect each other. There's no way in hell I'm losing another sister."
Phoebe nodded and gave Piper's hand a reasuring squeeze. They arrived at the hospital and as soon as they were inside Phoebe rushed to the counter.
"Paige Matthews, please." Phoebe told the receptionist.
She checked the computer. "Second floor, room 119."
Piper and Phoebe jogged in that silly I'm-really-walking-but-it-looks-like-I'm-jogging kind of way until they got to Paige's room.
"PAIGE!" Phoebe shouted as she jumped on top of Paige's hospital bed.
"Ouch, headache." Paige complained as she put a hand to her head.
"Sorry! What happened honey? Are you hurt?" Phoebe asked, lowering her voice.
"Fine. Demon attacked and he threw me against a wall, but luckily I was able to orb out before he could attack again. Just have minor scrapes and bruises." She paused for a second before adding: "Oh, and a massive headache."
Phoebe engulfed Paige into a hug. Piper watched the scene silently from the chair on the side of the bed.
"Pheebs can you give me and Paige a second?" Piper asked, almost startling Paige.
Phoebe glanced in between Paige and Piper. "Uh, sure, I'll go on a bad-coffee run to the cafeteria."
Phoebe bounced out of the room in order to give Piper and Paige some privacy.
"Paige..." Piper began.
"It's okay Piper. I get it."
"No, Paige. It is not okay. What I said was completely out of line and me being in an emotional state was no excuse. I don't blame you for Prue's death. It is not your fault. If I was Prue I would have done the same thing. I took my emotions out on you and you didn't deserve that. I am so sorry and I hope you can forgive me."
Paige's eyes began to well up and she nodded her head as Piper leaned in to give her a hug.
"Awww, group hug?" Phoebe asked from the open doorway.
Piper and Paige laughed as Phoebe jumped on top of her sisters.
"Let's go home." Paige orbed them back to the manor.
Two days later...
Piper and Phoebe were in the attic, sitting on an old chest with the Book Of Shadows in their laps.
"I don't get it Piper. We should have our powers back. Do you think they died with..." Phoebe stopped immediately regretted her choice of words.
"No. Prue wanted me to 'fix' the Power Of Three. There must be a way to get them back."
Just as Piper finished her sentence, her baby sister orbed in, breathing heavily.
"Demon." Was all she had to say to make her sisters spring in to action. "It's the demon. He's attacking an innocent."
Paige saw a frightened Phoebe but Piper looked determined.
"Listen, no matter what happens, we are in this together. I love you two more than anything." Piper said bringing her sisters into a warm embrace.
As soon as the three hugged, the book began to shake. They ran over to it and saw the Triquetra moving.
"It's going back together!" Piper said with a smile. She eagerly picked up the book and began flipping through the pages.
"Andrus, also known as the demon of rage, inflicts innocents and witches alike. It builds up inside them until an act of violence occurs." Piper read aloud.
"Well that explains our fight." Phoebe gently said.
"Yeah." Piper replied.
"I say we vanquish the bastard!" Paige shouted, getting surprised looks from her sisters. "Well, that is what we do, right?"
After finishing the potions for Andrus, Piper scried for him. The crystal finally landed on, of course, a dark, scary, and deserted ally way. Paige orbed the three sisters there and they quietly watched Andrus from behind a dumpster.
"I don't see the innocent." Paige whispered.
"Let's just vanquish him and get it over with." Phoebe replied.
The three sisters stood up and Piper called out to Andrus, making their presence known.
"Come for more, witches? I wouldn't mind killing the rest of you." Andrus said mockingly.
Piper laughed at the wound she saw in the demon's shoulder blade.
"That looks like it hurt." Piper fake laughed, hatred could be seen coming from her eyes.
Andrus made an energy ball appear in his hand.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Phoebe called out.
"Oh, yeah? And why's that?" Andrus asked, narrowing his eyes.
Paige threw the greenish potion at Andrus, sending him flying back into a dumpster. "That was for all the pain you've put me and my sisters through."
They approached the hurt Andrus as he began to get up from the cement. Phoebe through a second potion. It sent a shock of electricity through Andrus, rendering him paralyzed.
"That was for hurting Paige."
Piper gave one last look at Andrus. She knew vanquishing him wouldn't heal her heart. She knew vanquishing him wouldn't make Prue come back to her. But she also knew he didn't deserve to live when her sister wasn't given that same chance. She threw the final potion and he shrieked in pain as flames consumed his body, starting from his feet and working slowly up to his head. Finally he blew up, leaving only ashes behind.
"And that. That was for Prue."
