Once again thank you to all the people who reviewed! It's nice to hear what you think.!
On with the story!
Prue's eyes widened as the hospital shook. She saw Phoebe start to stumble and reached out holding her tight.
"Hang on Phoebs." She held her shaky sister upright and they tried to make their way down the corridor. Bits of debris started to fall around them, stumbling Phoebe fell to her bum, coughing in the dust and holding her ankle which was now throbbing once again with agony.
"Prue!" she called before she passed out from the pain.
Prue stopped and turned around, seeing her sister on the floor, holding her ankle in pain, she rushed back as fast as she could. Debris continued to fall around them, Prue positioned her self over Phoebe, trying her hardest to protect her baby sister from the dangers of the Earthquake. The plaster from the ceiling crashed onto Prue's back as she covered Phoebe.
She knew they couldn't stay there for long, plus she had to get back to Piper, and also the Earthquake seemed to be getting worse.
Ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
Piper watched Leo's orbs disappear and as soon as they were out of sight, she felt the thing which she was most scared of right then. The windows rattled with the force and she heard the sound of feet rushing in the hallways, all of them trying to get to safety. She called out for someone to help, only to be ignored.
The bed started to shake, the IV drip toppled over, splashing over the floor, ripping from Pipers arm. She yelped in pain, and covered her ears, wishing for the shake to stop. However her wish went ungranted as the shaking continued. She was also getting worried about her sisters, who were most likely caught in the earthquake. Then she heard a voice, well more precisely the voice of one sister calling out to another. She sat up in her bed and swung her legs over the side. She hopped down, clutching her head, remembering she had a concussion. Then made her way slowly over to the door. The earthquake seemed to get stronger, as the hospital shook more violently, throwing her to the floor. she winced in pain and held her abdomen as she got back to her feet, using the door frame as an aid.
She walked into the hallway and was shocked by the destruction, people were running left right and centre, calling to each other. She wondered by none of the nurses had come to see her, or why all of them seemed to be ignoring the figures of her sisters huddled on the floor.
Forgetting all of her own misery she jogged down the corridor, her only concern for her sisters.
Cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
Leo watched from above as his girlfriend and her sisters were caught in yet another earthquake. He should have known that's the reason why they had called him. He wanted so badly to go down, but there was a blocking spell keeping them away from San Francisco.
He cursed the elders and their stupid rules, which were crap as far as he was concerned. He had tried countless times to orb down to them, only to end back up where he had started, only this time with a few elders frowning at him.
He sat down, leaning against a pillar and sighed. They had told him that he couldn't intervene until everything was over.
He closed his eyes, trying to stop the sickening feeling of being helpless. He looked through the clouds to his charges and watched as piper tried to reach her sisters through the devastation. He could tell now that they weren't going to come out of this earthquake okay, he just hoped he was wrong.
Ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
Prue looked up at the sound of feet coming towards her and Phoebe, she was expecting a nurse or doctor or someone, so was even more surprised when she saw Piper jogging towards them. she lifted herself off Phoebe, whilst also trying to still cover her.
"Prue! Are you okay?"
"Yeah Pipes we're fine. What are you doing up?!"
"The ceiling's caving in everywhere, come on we'd better get outside, it's only down the hall." she lifted Phoebe's legs off the ground and waited while Prue grabbed her upper arms.
"Hello witches, where do you think you're going?"
They froze and turned around, coming face to face with 2 demons dressed in the typical black leather.
"You guys should really get better outfits." Prue said before flinging her arms and throwing them backwards.
"Prue! Does the word exposed mean anything to you?"
"Piper, everyone has practically evacuated the building plus there was hardly anyone in this unit to start with. Oh, oh, freeze. Freeze!"
Piper shot her head backwards in the direction of the demons seeing them getting off the floor.
"We'll get you witch."
"Not yet." She threw her arm out and froze them before they could do anything.
"Quick let's get outside."
They moved as fast as they could, carrying Phoebe into the gardens outside. Once outside they moved to the left of the garden, avoiding the broken plantpots and cracks in the cement. They settled behind a bush, out of sight of the demons.
"Are you okay Prue? Is Phoebe okay?"
"It's not us I'm worried about." Piper met her sisters gaze.
"I'm fine, but when I saw you two on the floor I thought the worst."
"We're fine, Phoebe just hurt her ankle again."
"Thank god. Okay, now how are we going to kill these demons?"
"I don't know, we'll have to see if they're immune to our powers, that way we'll know if they're upper level or lower level."
"So we go out there use our powers and die if they're upper level powers. Great plan." Sarcasm dripped from her voice.
"Well have you got a better plan!"
"Sshhh. I heard something."
"Come out, come out wherever you are!"
"Prue what are we going to do?!"
"I don't know Pipe, okay, I don't know!" Prue closed her eyes.
"I'm sor…" she couldn't finish her sentence though as a fireball exploded in the bush above their heads.
They jumped up, facing the smirking demons. Instantly ducking to avoid the other fireball.
Prue threw her arm out, expecting to send them flying only to have them move a foot backwards. "Umm, Piper, your turn."
Piper threw her arms out intending to freeze them, but nothing happened.
"Nothings happening Prue, they won't freeze."
"Well blow them up." She flung her arm out sending another fireball back at the demons, just to have them catch it once again.
Piper flexed her fingers in the direction of the demons and they flew backwards and into the wooden arch, smashing it into pieces.
"Come on Prue let's go some where else."
They picked Phoebe up and carried her into another part of the gardens, hiding again.
"Hey guys what's going on?" Phoebe mumbled as she woke up.
"Sshh, two demons attacking."
"Oh, where? I can't wait to kick some demon ass."
"I don't think so Phoebs, you just passed out from pain, plus you shouldn't over work your ankle."
"Prue, you can't fight them on your own."
"I'm not on my own, I have Piper."
"Piper, you think she's in any shape to fight demons! She's worse than me."
"Hey I am here you know!" Piper said, turning her head from her look out spot.
The bush Phoebe and Prue were hiding behind bust into flames.
"Aahh, Phoebe get out of here."
"No, Pipers staying, I'm staying."
She jumped up, taking in the scene then dived to the ground straight away.
"I thought you said there were only two of them."
"There are."
"Uhh, not anymore Prue, there's half a dozen of them."
"Okay, Phoebs you stay down. Me and Piper will handle it." She looked over at Piper and nodded her head, they both jumped out and started to battle the demons.
Piper threw up her arms and with all her energy sent three of the demons flying backwards.
"You'll wish you didn't do that witch." One of the demons reached back and hurled an athame at her chest. She dived out of the way, skidding along the ground.
Mean while Prue was fighting the other three demons. She sent one flying backwards, and dodged a fireball from another demons, sending it back at the demon, making him scream in pain before bursting into flames.
"One down, two to go."
Phoebe looked over the top of the bush, she knew she couldn't let her sister fight them on her own. She could see that they were out numbered and out powered. She crawled along the floor out of sight, grabbing the athame that Piper had just missed and crept up behind one of the demons that Prue was facing.
She drove the athame into his heart from behind and smiled in satisfaction when he also burst into flames.
Prue stared in confusion when the demon was vanquished, wondering what had happened when she saw her little sisters smiling face. Phoebe ran over to Prue.
"I told you not to stay down Phoebs. You're not stable enough."
"No way Prue, Pipers fighting I'm fighting!" she looked over at where her sister was fighting, then at Prue who was using her powers to hold the demon back.
"I told you she's stable."
"Are you sure about that Prue?" A frown appeared on her sisters face, as she forgot about her enemy and looked at Piper, her frown turning into worry.
"Help her Phoebe!"
Piper flicked her hands in the direction of the smallest demon, relief flooding her when he stopped in his tracks, a fireball frozen hovering above his hand. Now she only had two to worry about. She looked around for a weapon t use, finding nothing, she thought about what else she could do.
She knew she wasn't very good at spell writing, but it was the only thing she could do. She blasted the two demons back, and thought up a rhyme that would work.
"Umm, umm, okay here goes.
Unknown demon of this night,
I banish you from my sight,
With my powers I vanquish thee,
As I say, so mote it be.
She knew it wasn't the best spell ever, but it seemed to be doing the job as the demon spun in circles. That was one gone. The demon who she blasted back was getting up, and the other one was unfreezing already. She got her hands ready, only to have a wave of exhaustion wash over her. She lifted her hands to her head, swaying back and forth. Sweat beads broke out over her forehead, and her cheeks felt flushed. She fell back against the tree behind her breathing heavily."What's the matter witch. Feeling tired." One of the demons mocked.
"I'm fine!" she shouted, standing up tall and sucking in her breath. She tried to blast the demon but the only thing that happened was a small puff of smoke appearing on the leather jacket.
She swayed again, what's wrong with my powers. Then she noticed Phoebe running over to her. As soon as Phoebe reached her she reached out and yanked her behind the tree.
"I don't feel so hot Phoebs." Piper said to her sister.
"Well I hate to say it, but you don't look so hot either." She looked sympathetically at her sister, with a mix of worry as well.
"Look you stay down, I'm gonna take care of these demons."
"You can't take them on your own Phoebs."
"Watch me." She stepped out from behind the tree.
Piper watched as Phoebe used her martial art skills to kick the demons asses. The saw as she took out one demon and used a wooden stake, sticking it into his head. He burst into flames and Phoebe smiled.
Prue carried on fighting the one demon that was left. She couldn't stop worrying about Piper though. She knew she shouldn't have let her fight, it was obvious she wasn't up for it, and now she was paying the price. She threw the demon back and looked for a weapon to kill him with. While she was distracted by her search she didn't notice the energy ball being sent her way.
It hit her shoulder making her scream out in pain. She gripped her shoulder, gagging at the sight of the thick red blood.
Piper caught her breath and closed her eyes. Then she heard her sister scream out in pain.
She shot her head up in Prue's direction. She saw the demon create a fireball, and how Prue was in too much pain to notice. He chucked the fireball, and Prue looked up just in time to see it heading straight for her. She braced herself for the pain but before it could come into contact with her it froze mid-air.
Piper had never been so happy to see her powers work. Prue smiled at her before working her magic and continuing battling the demon.
Piper turned her attention back to Phoebe who was still fighting the demon hand to hand. She watched, thinking of ways to help her sister, but knew she wasn't strong enough.
Then she felt as the ground rumbled, an saw as her sister stumbled, allowing the demon to get the upper hand. He held his hand out and formed an energy ball, he let his magic flow longer than usual. The energy ball grew bigger until the demon was satisfied.
Piper looked with horrified eyes as her sister was about to die. Then she did what her heart told her.
Phoebe fought the demon with all she had, but wasn't expecting the ground to rumble yet again. She fell onto her butt, as the demons stood over her. She shuffled backwards and looked up with eyes as big as saucers as he formed a ball of energy. She looked as it got bigger and bigger. The ground continued to shake and Phoebe knew she wouldn't be able to stand up without falling over again. She covered her face with her arms as he released the energy ball, scared of the pain she knew she was about to feel. But instead of a scream escaping her lips, she heard it from another.
She pulled her arms from her face and saw her sister sprawled on the floor, a pained expression etched on her face.
"Piper? Piper!" she ran over to her sister, and fell down at her side.
"Phoebs?"
"I'm here Pipes,"
"Aww, how touching."
"Shut up!"
"Phoebs, grab her hand!" Prue ordered as she stumbled over to her sisters. "Come on, we need to use the power of three spell."
"Okay," she grabbed her sisters hand and her and Prue started reciting the spell.
the power of three will set us free.
The power of three will set us free.
The power of three will set us free.
The demons looked on and laughed, they threw their athame's at the remaining sisters only to have them bounce of a blue shield protecting them.
"Prue, it's not working they're not vanquishing."
"Just keep saying it!"
they kept chanting, though it did nothing more. then a new voice joined in with them.
it was quiet but it did the job. Prue looked at her sister as she used up her last bit of energy to help them defeat the demons.
They both screamed in outrage and agony as they burned into hell.
"Piper? You hang on okay, just hang on."
"I'll try Prue, but it hurts so much." Tears clung at her eyes as she fought the pain. She closed her eyes.
"No, no Piper stay awake, you hear me." She let tears slip down her pale cheeks.
Phoebe sat back and watched as her sisters life slowly slipped away.
"Leo! Leo! Come on damn it!"
her heart filled with joy as the familiar blue and white lights rained down from the sky.
"Leo thank god. Heal her quickly, heal her!" Prue watched as Leo knelt down next to Piper. He held his hands over Pipers wounds, waiting anxiously for the golden glow. He smiled when it came, though it was short lasting as it flickered and stopped.
"What, that has never happened before." He held his hands over her again. Trying his hardest to heal her, he was about to give up and accept the fact that it wasn't going to work when he felt a warm hand in his.
He looked over to see Phoebe give him a watery smile and tried once again to work his magic. The glowing got stronger but still didn't work. Prue grabbed Phoebe's hand, clutching it with all her might, and Leo's hand emitted a blinding glow as Pipers wound slowly knitted itself back together.
She gasped in a deep breath, and her sisters threw themselves on top of her. Tears of joy now creeping down their faces.
