Chapter 21:

A/N: Well, you might be happy to know that I'm thinking about ending this story at chapter 30 instead of 25. At the rate it's going, I don't think I can end it well in three chapters. My muse has finally come back to life and is now recuperating. Thank God. So yeah, hopefully I'll end it in 9 chapters… which is my goal. I also would like to thank my reviewers for reviewing…it's nice to know that people are still interested in this story even after my long break on it. So please, enjoy the next chapter. And as always, REVIEW!

P.S. This next chapter is back at the Manor.

Back in the Manor, Prue was frantic. She was trying everything she could not to fall apart, but she was beginning to see no end to the black tunnel ahead of her.

Upstairs in the Attic, Paige was furiously flipping through the book and muttering to herself. She'd taken over the job when Prue went downstairs to think of a plan. That's when she spotted the "To Call a Lost Witch" spell. An idea formed in her mind.

"PIPER PRUE PHOEBE! COME HERE I HAVE AN IDEA!" She called.

In response to her calling, she heard feet trampling up the stairs.

"What's your plan?" Prue said, rushing to her sister's side at the book.

"To Call a Lost Witch." Paige replied

Prue stared at her.

"What?" Paige asked, when her sister did not reply.

Prue hesitated. "Well, it could work…but we need to defeat Cole once and for all. He's not going to give up."

Paige thought for a second. "Well then. Let's go."

"Go? Go where?" Phoebe asked, coming up stairs.

"Let's go to the Underworld. No tricks, no games. Just go, fight, win, and bring home Jess." Paige explained plainly.

"Sweetie…I know you want her back. I want her more than anything. But we need to prepare something like an attack like that. Normally I'm all for the "just grab and go" routine, but when it comes to my daughter, I want a solid, foolproof plan. I mean, who knows what they're doing to her down there?" Prue replied

Paige sighed. " I know. I just feel so helpless up here doing nothing, knowing that Jess is down there…" her voice cracked, and trailed off. Prue put her arm around her baby sister.

"I know, sweetie. I feel the same way too. Listen, why don't we try the "To Call a Lost Witch" spell? It could help." Prue said

"Wait a sec." Piper interrupted. "I have an idea. What if we three of us astral project to the underworld, and the one not astral projecting could read the spell? That way, we still have hold on the Manor in case of an attack, and we can fight him at the same time. Leo can orb down and grab Jess."

Prue thought for a minute. "You know what? I think you're on to something, Piper. I think that just might work."

"Yeah. Good thing you taught us how to astral project, Prue." Phoebe smiled.

Prue smiled back. "Let's just hope it works and gets my daughter back."

"LEO!" Piper yelled. Leo appeared a few seconds later.

"What's up?" He asked

"We have an idea." Prue said, and gave him the rundown of Piper's idea.

"I think that's a great plan. Only one flaw that I can spot… don't you think Cole might get suspicious if one of you is missing? He would definitely think that something's up." Leo said

"Oh…right. Well, how about this? I use that tripling spell on myself, have one of me stay up here, the other me fight Cole, and I rescue my daughter?" Prue suggested

"I guess that could work. We would just have to make really sure that no one catches the other you. Or figures out that there are two of you." Leo said

"Yeah. I can do that." Prue replied confidently.

"All right. Let's do it!" Phoebe said.

The sisters got to work. Prue found the tripling spell and repeated it.

"And then there were three." Phoebe commented cheerfully. She gave each Prue a sweater so they could tell each other apart. Or at least, who was the real Prue. Then they made a powerful potion that would kill off Cole forever.

After everything was prepared, they all met back up in the attic.

"Well, this is it." Piper said

They looked at each other. The one Prue that would be staying and Leo wished them luck. Leo would be staying up in the attic with Prue in case anything went wrong. He would be able to orb back and fourth if need be.

"Well, here goes nothing!" Phoebe said. The sisters then closed their eyes, and astral projected down to the Underworld.

A/N: Hope you liked that chapter! I have another one coming up soon- please REVIEW!
